Heartwarming time-travel story
This show had everything: the sad backstories that make us empathize with the characters, beautiful redeeming arcs for the 2nd generation, as well as some amazing high school friend group scenes! Absolute must-watch for anyone wanting to relive their high school days.When I initially started watching this, I thought it was a similar concept to a Bollywood movie from 2010 called Action Replayy since it involves the son going into his parents' past to make them fall in love. But as the episodes went on and Choi Se Kyeong's character was shown more (+her and Ha Eun Gyeol's relationship developed), it reminded me of A Map Of Tiny Perfect Things because of the similarities in the main characters stuck in the same "time loop" and needing to help each other to get back to the present. If you liked this drama, I highly recommend these two movies!
The last episode was probably my most favourite, seeing the positive implications of the changes that happened due to the time-travel instead of things going bad because of what was changed.

Audience is the Queen (or King) of Tears
Storyline ?, Acting ?, Locations ?, OST ?Did I cry almost every episode? Mostly. Was it worth it? Yes!
From the get-go, this was a story that was gripping and had me waiting for the next episode. Yes, there were some minor issues with the why's and how's of Haein and Hyunwoo's relationship, but it's similar to life in general. There are things you won't know about what's running in your partner's head or why you are acting a certain way... Plus, adding in Eun-sung (the King of Delulu land) threw wrenches into their already strained marriage. They do get over it, but the process was definitely frustrating to watch. The only issue I did have, similar to others, was how rushed the last episode kinda was. The ending itself was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, as one should expect with this story, but there were a lot of parts I feel like we should've seen aka their re-wedding, the miscarriage and its redemption (if that's what one can call it?), and just a little more of the HongBaek couple going through their second chance at love/life together...
Also, does anyone know when the intro/Ep 16 ending song will be released or where to find it? I NEED IT TO ACCEPT THIS SHOW HAS ENDED ???
Don't think I'll ever get over this show, at least for a while ?? (but also cannot watch it again for a good few months/a year because of the k-trauma ??)
