Some things never changed, and that’s the painful part of life. Time traveling is an overused foundation, but they make good use of this cliche and establish a short yet impactful storyline. Despite the loopholes and some questionable parts, the conclusion dominated its cons.

The title itself is already conspicuous, relating to experiencing another ache. I cried. Those written messages burst me out.

“Jae Woo, I know you came here after 15 years to save me. But even so, I will still go save you.” - Kang Ji Hoon

The success is also all thanks to their impressive acting performances. As early as the pilot episode, I was too amazed by Shin Jae Woo. You can sense how desperate he is from changing the past. His howls did affect me emotionally. The two main actors portrayed their characters in the most anguished way. From feeling passionate about giving a try to save each other to eventually becoming hopeless and just accepting the consequences as long one of them will continue to go on with life.

I must say, Korean entertainment provides eye-catching actors with their head-turner visuals. Ji Hoon resembles Baekhyun from EXO and Tomo from Thailand. He is extremely cute and fluffy.

They also gave us top-tier songs from their OSTs. I genuinely go through the roller coaster rides of affection and attachment every time they insert the songs into a scene. I indulge in listening to them, I love it!

Once Again is a show that throws you a punch that even with its fairytale plot, we all return from the reality of accepting the suffering of life. There may be things that we cannot control, but as long as we value our life, we can always find the happiness that we keep relying on, for our day-to-day survival.
