A roller coaster that starts high goes down and finish again on top

For me the show started at pure perfection. It was my first k drama and I really liked it. The first two episodes hyped me so up that I couldn’t wait for next episode. Then same thing with 3 and 4 but after a while the story feels to get soften. It lost the thing that made it great. Hopefully it makes a comeback with 2-3 last episodes. Especially episode 11 and first half of 12
I like the ost song. It was good to hear that. But the best part of the show was the characters and actors/Actresses. Characters choices and acts were comprehensible I may not act like one of them but I definitely understand if someone act like them
The story tried to implant some good twist ls to finish the show with 12 episodes. I like and didn’t like those twists at the same time. The twists were the stuff that cause episode 11 and 12 be good. Not the twist by itself but by its results

Terrible start but gets better give it a chance

All spoiler parts will be marked carefully
I just finished the show and it have lots of pros and cons
I’m going to start with the cons
Cons:
First thing that I like to point out is the pacing and speed of the show. I usually watch shows in 1.5x speed but I watched this show in 2x because it feels super slow. This may not be that important but another problem that I had with the show is the story pacing. It’s super slow. The first 4 episodes were boring to me (not that interesting) I could feel the potential of the story but it couldn’t use it. I was in the middle of ep 4 that I decided that I will drop the show if I didn’t enjoy the ep 5. And episode 5 was exactly when I feel the show getting better
One thing that I really hate in the show was the flashbacks. This story relies on flashbacks to explain the story to us. He saw a basketball a flashback to his high school days. Eating food another flashback. Each episode had at least 2 flashbacks and I really didn’t like that. I feel like they want to deliver the story but didn’t know how and flashbacks seems the most easiest one to them
In lots of parts of story I felt like the story have some problems (or plot holes) and things didn’t feels to match together very well. Could be better imo
This one is mostly personal but I didn’t liked some aspects of the things they were showing here is an example containing small spoiler. Skip to pros if u don’t want to be spoiled
[start of spoiler]
An old woman (female lead who is 37-38 years old old in story) felt into a pool. One young guy and one famous baseball player jump into water to help her. And no one do not care why both of them jumped. Or why the baseball player jumped instead of sending his guards. No one do not point anything out. There are some weird situations like this that I considered as problems of story (plot holes) as well
[end of spoiler]
Pros:
There is not much to say about the pros without going through the whole story. It’s a very beautiful story about how a man find his marriage life problems by getting young and fixing them, and become a better father/husband. In this way he helps his children and his wife without them noticing
Really liked the show. It is not a cup of tea for everyone but if you are interested in family binding, or shows with focus on family life it can be a good one for you
Another thing that I really liked in the show was how the switch between young version of MC and old version of him when they wanted to show his acts as an act of father/husband

Worth a one-time watch if you are in the mood for it

I just finished this show and I kinda like it. I watched it all fast and back to back cause it don’t have anything that engaging (in a good way) there are no complicated plots and plot twists, there are no love triangle or stuff like that. Just couples that like each other and have fun together And help each other through life. It’s not an outstanding show that you watch and say wow. But it’s a show that you will definitely enjoy if you just want to watch something lovey dovey. I would recommend the show to be watched if you are in the mood of something that you turn your brain off and watch
Overally I liked the show and imo it worth a one time in a correct time. Objectively I’ll give it 7/10 but subjectively I’ll give it 8/10 because of the romance the whole story in general

I recommend it

Overally I liked the show. Good story that I enjoyed (it had some problems imo that I’ll explain later but in general I liked it). It have great soundtracks. I love when the bubbly like sound start playing. Give me the feeling that we are finding some hints
The show is fun, have a good mystery emotional roller coaster between romance and drama; it also carry the story very well. My only personal problem is how the mystery goes on. In general it’s good but some aspects of the mystery feels like they were added without any plan. To be more accurate you see some flashbacks at start. The mystery related to those flashbacks are the main focus of the show and it carried out very well. But there is a small part of the story releated to that, that it came out of nowhere which I didn’t like at all. It was there to make things more understandable and acceptable but it felt to be added out of nowhere
Also imo they could add more fun scenes to the show using female lead being a fangirl but they decided to keep that just as some dialogues like there is a new event coming up and no more

It was good but not that good

I just finished the show and tbh comparing to business proposal and what’s wrong with secretary Kim it was my least favorite. It’s good show but not as good as them. Here is the reason:
1- business proposal have a great comedy. With great romance between support characters. Here we have some good comedy in the girls trio but it’s not that good
2- what’s wrong with secretary Kim have very interesting story With a good mystery and plot twist but here the story was not that good to me. The mystery (small spoiler) of the Male lead about their mother is not that interesting, and detailed and everything get solved eventually without not that much of info farming. Just like I talk with him and then I asked him and that was it. Done

But overall it was a good show. Even though it was 16 episodes it didn’t feel dragged at all. The romantic story and the couple is fun to follow. Unfortunately some of the support/background characters really pissed me of and they didn’t get what they really deserved. I would appreciate it more if the show put more focus on other characters relationship and stories

A good show that could be better

In general it’s a good show. A fun ride that you enjoy the story the ending and the drama but there were a few things that I didn’t really like about the show
1- first of all for me the show kinda feels like it’s dragged. Imo they could finish the story with 12-13 episodes and the changes wouldn’t be noticeable
2- it should put more focus on the side romances. I would have liked the show more if it had put more focus on the side romances, adding more details to their love stories and characters. Especially one of them that was mentioned in the very last episodes could be done so much better
3- beside the main love story other aspects of the story kinda feel short to me. In fact the main love story could be felt in almost all episodes while the other elements/arcs didn’t have much detail. It’s also the reason that I felt the show is dragged and could be shorter is the same. Extra unnecessary focus on the love story which were done/almost done many many episodes before the actual ending of the show

This show is a must watch [spoiler part is marked. Don’t worry]

I don’t know where to start. It’s a very good show. A heart touching show that put me on the verge of crying almost every episode (from middle to last). This show is emotional rollercoaster. At first it was fun, romance, and fantasy, but things takes another turn. It become more romance and more dramatic. Then it becomes more tense, with more drama. You feel more bad for each character. One second you are laughing another one you are crying. And what a good roller coaster. I didn’t like the show at first at all. It was very slow pacing and I was thinking maybe I quit it because it is not the genre that I like to watch but what a good choice that I finished it
Didn’t like two parts of the show which I say without spoiling:
1- who was the guy who send him back in time. Tbh they could remove the plot twist by whole and nothing would change. Or they should keep it with more details and more information. Just saying oh yeah he was he is not what I like. I guessed that at the start as well. But why is it like that. And why it is working. No explanation
2- this one is going to be a spoiler. Start of the spoiler:”
The girl who was send back in time changed her mother future and in the end we see how her mother is different by a lot. But she is still the same as she was. I can’t accept it. If your mother opinion/way of life changed then you won’t be the person who you are now. Specially physically. Because we can see that her mother turns into a thin, fragile woman but the girl her self is still like before”

Peak fiction

This show is a peak fiction
I grow up watching Dong Yi and because of that Joseon Dynasty is kinda one of my favorite tags. I love those tensions between king, queen, courtiers and stuff like that. It bother me when it’s to much but I can’t stop liking it
Watching this show was a really fun ride. I really enjoyed my time watching it and I’m sad that it is only 20 episodes and not more
There were things that I liked and things I didn’t. The most obvious thing that I liked was the story. The fantasy part (time travel) isn’t playing a big role here. Mostly helps with comedy but it also have some role in the story
What I really liked in this show and I definitely miss is Shin Hae Sun acting as Kim So Yong. God bless her. She was great. How she was acting like she is a male trapped in female body was great. She was doing male attitude super greatly. She talk arrogantly, had a big pride and she was into girls. She was making the show 2x funny by her self
Another thing that I liked was Kim Jung Hyun acting. His role in the story was great. And I loved how he looked when he was angry
The story is one the most important things for me and this show have a very entertaining well written story. From the start until the end I was fully focused on the show
There is only one thing that I didn’t like which I think is kinda normal in Joseon Dynasty stories and that was the story kinda felt dragged. The ending of story kinda felt rushed to me but I felt like some of the antagonist characters didn’t want to change their way no matter what which is something I don’t like. Want it be to protagonist or antagonist I don’t like it when they are doing everything no matter what to reach to their goal

Subjectively great but objectively not. Touched my soul but it’s not for everyone

A really heart warming show. It’s not that perfect show that I go everywhere and say watch it cause it’s masterpiece but during the show I really feel like it touched my soul. Really like the character development and how they became a better partner. It’s not a show that I recommend to everyone but if you are looking for a romance with some small romantic drama and character development it’s definitely for you

P.S: tbh it’s not a great show that I watch and say oh god what a plot or what a good twist. But it really got me. The 9.5 points I got to show is totally subjective because I feel like it touch my soul and emotion. I liked the show on and off at first and middle because objectively it’s not a great show. But when I finished it it felt just right. It wasn’t short that I say I missed it. It wasn’t long that I say it was boring. And the characters feels like humans to me. They are not perfect people. They do not look like they are perfect. They just feel like humans from my era. I can see that there might be a friend of me who have some faults in his relationship or have wrong view to the life just like one of the characters in the show
