I enjoyed this movie in its simplicity. It's not over the top science fiction, but seems to be a very practical yet believable application of technology given the time-frame. The simplicity may also contribute to some people not liking this movie, because you expect a fast paced movie, which this one is not at all. There seems to be a focus on the emotional aspect, but unfortunately given the format and the short duration a lot is left unexplored and Soichiro just goes action from action to finish the story without any time to explore and wonder, which his scientist character should be given the time to do. This story may have benefited from a drama format.

I absolutely loved this. Obviously the fantasy element was enough to draw me in, but I really liked the way the story was built. It has a slower pace, but that gives the drama the time to work on the emotions and bonds between the characters. I really liked the way everything was linked together and even though I was expecting a different ending, it's just as happy and maybe even more so than I expected. I have to admit that you will need to be patient with this drama. It's not a breezy watch. It's very emotional, sad and dark at times. The chances to laugh are practically non-existent. However, there are still warm moments between the chracters, which I really appreciated, because most of this is heartbreaking. If you are hesitating, please give this a try and have patience. It's really worth it.

That and the scene when Bai Qian takes back her eyes are among the most satisfying in that drama.

I watched it more than 12 years ago and it was as creepy then as it is now. The plot is not romantic, it's creepy and problematic in so many ways. I honestly can't believe that this was considered a romantic comedy in 2004 and I can't believe people watching it nowadays find it cute and romantic. It's just wrong

Great. I'll definitely be watching it then. Thanks.

I was considering watching A Dream of Splendor, but Liu Yifei's acting has always been a disappointment in everything I watched so far. Is she good in this one?

Too bad. I'll put this on my list for now then.

Finally, all the episodes were made available on Netflix and I watched this whole drama as fast as it was possible. The attraction of this drama for me personally is very obvious. I love dramas with a fantasy element. The cast looked amazing and they truly did an amazing job portraying their characters. That being said, it was not easy to watch. It's a very emotional drama that handles a lot of heavy topics. Difficult as it may be to watch, I loved every episode. Despite many criticisms I've seen, the drama does pretty well handling the sensitive issues. If you're still doubting, please give it a try. It might just be what you're looking for. Dark as the themes are, there's a message of hope that will leave you with a good feeling once you're done watching.

The city they lived in was attacked while he was away and while trying to save others, Goo Ryun was taken by the enemy all the way back to their country together with many other women. She helped the women escape, but when they returned, the people didn't accept them. They talked behind their backs as if they sold their own bodies and virtue to be able to return and many committed suicide. He tried to help her and protect her, but she saw the way it was changing him, because he just went around killing people who said bad things about her. Her mother in law didn't help either, constantly pushing her to kill herself to save the honour of the family. Eventually, she did end up killing herself, which left a wound on Park Joong Gil's soul that didn't heal even after two reincarnations. When he became a Reaper he asked the Empress to seal away the memories of his life with Goo Ryun.

After hesitating for a long while, I finally decided to watch this because these were just 4 episode of 20 minutes each, so it wouldn't take too long. The first two episodes had a lot of interesting themes, but overall were quite creepy. Especially the first one. The last two episodes were beautiful in their simplicity. They were more straightforward, while the first two seemed to be more up for different interpretations. My favourite is the last one. It's by far the most simple, but at the same time the most emotional and philosophical of the four.

This was one of the many dramas that I put on my to watch list right away, because I loved the cast and the story looked interesting. I finally watched this and I must say that despite some things that were a bit disappointing, I overall liked it. I think that the main pairing was cute and they had great chemistry. The story had some really interesting concepts and it's also visually appealing. There are cute moments, funny moments and sad moments, so you'll get a lot of different emotions watching it. There's also a wide range of fun side characters. Despite the rating, there seem to be lot of different opinions about this drama, but all I can say is give it a try and if you end up not liking it, you can always quit watching and pick up another drama.

The summary of the story sounds like a typical rebirth/time travel novel, which if done well can be a lot of fun to read or in this case watch. The cast looks good, so whether this will be good will really depend on the writing and the directing. I'm putting this on my to watch list, so hopefully it will deliver.

sounds interesting. I'll be checking out the webtoon

I can't wait for the English subs. I watched some parts of episode 1 raw and it looks great.

I watched all seasons in a relative short amount of time and I must say that was a lot of fun chaos. Obviously, as I already commented for the other seasons, this drama could have ended by punishing all the bad guys in the first season, making both season 2 and 3 unnecessary, but that doesn't mean that the later seasons weren't fun. Well acted throughout. The actors obviously gave it their all in the portrayal of these characters. Uhm Ki Joon and Kim So Yeon should be applauded for their unforgettable performances. Another standout for me was Shin Eun Kyung. This lovely lady has never disappointed in any of her performances and this role was no different. All in all, the cast members from young to old did an amazing job to bring their characters to life. No matter what else it might be, this drama was definitely entertaining.

Is this worth watching? The rating is high, but the summary is not that enticing

First a lookalike for Soo Ryun and now a twin brother for Logan..... Na Ae Gyeo looking exactly like Soo Ryun was already not that convincing. Especially, since they didn't explain why she looked exactly like her. They weren't related, so was it plastic surgery? Wow knows. But that has been wrapped up, so I just moved on and started season 3 and once again they go with another lookalike. Luckily this time it's his brother, so at least it's convincing, but since it has already been used during the previous season, it's old and what is up with his styling. I get the fact that they needed to make them different from each other, but was this really necessary?

This season was crazy, but that's the attraction of this drama in the first place, so not a bad thing. There were some big things story-wise that I didn't particularly like. All in all, it delivered what it promised. Obviously, I didn't like the ending of this season, but I suppose that since they were going for season three, the writers needed a new crime that required revenge. As I already commented for season one, I would have been just as happy if they ended it in season one by having the bad guys punished then and there, but they decided to drag it out. Again, I would have been just as happy if they ended the drama with season two, since it was wrapped up nicely, but since I already spent two seasons, I'm going to watch the third one to complete the story, even though I know I might end up disappointed.

Started watching season 2 right after season 1. I'm on episode 5 now and one thing I prefer in this season compared to the previous one is that they are turning the bad guys against each other instead of trying to fight them as a group. Better strategy and a lot of fun.

Lee Ji Ah is indeed listed in the cast for both season 2 and 3, so obviously not the end for her. I'm currently watching episode 3 of season 2 and she hasn't appeared yet. Hopefully she'll appear soon and shock them all. I will be watching till the end to see the bad people punished.
