Needs to more script edits again
The pacing of this drama is atrocious and the weakest point is writing for interpersonal connections, for one character to convince another of something or just to bond. The drama has the bones of a stronger drama if only the script was better. The acting of the two leads are serviceable, but there's not much in the way of chemistry either inherently between the characters nor in the writing for them, but when they finally kiss, it's nice.
High school guys holding hands is not a common thing, certainly not in 2008, but it's nice neither guys have any issue with it and it is very cute. The writing just put Cyworld in the script and called it a day on establishing the time period. The time traveling guy doesn't act much more different than the high schoolers, in fact probably less mature. It's annoying that he's a grown man, but can't figure out a nicer way to break a friendship with the guy he likes than being very cruel and mean. Especially to someone he liked that died so early and haunts him to current day.
Hye Seong's change of heart is really sudden and doesn't give a good explanation to Yu Jin, He didn't try at all with his other friend Taejun and just acts like an insane person saying things without proof that would make his friend believe without waiting for violence to happen and especially since things are unfolding differently than the original timeline and could lead to something worse for Yu Jin and Taejun.
.At his skill level, it makes no sense for him to draw something quickly for their group homework. Hye Seong's color blindness also didn't come into play in a clear way. It seemed more like an stylistic cinematography choice than something that was supposed to have bearing in the story. The fake out editing like Yu Jin ran into traffic again was not good. Just cutting off as he ran around the corner with Tae Jun's concerned reaction was good enough
I do like the little changes that occur like in the photos of the current day from injuries to new photos on the wall from new memories made in the past or disappearing. The strongest part of the series is it's time travel mechanics. It was interesting that Hye Seong is physically disappearing from the present and appearing in the past, but it's unclear if he's completely meshed with the version of himself in the past who no long appears when he returns to the present. How would the timeline continue without a version of him in the past going to art school and being with his family? There's so many holes in this script.
