So Joe's strategy is killing Ming by alcohol poisoning lol. Ok, so Joe is getting in the lion's den all by himself. Even is Ming and Tong are trash people he is still getting in there even when Wut and Sol say they help him he still goes back to Ming.

I get why Joe is doing what he is doing: First the tragedy with the mother and also that he really can't forget Ming. It is sad? Yes because everyone can see (the first one Joe) that Ming is an awful person (Actually Joe believe he still wants him as a stan-in for Tong. His self-esteem is going to end up completely crushed). this is something that happens in real life? Also yes, because sometimes we can't help to fall for the wrong guy/girl.

The last scene was so charged and so well acted: How Ming forced that kiss and Joe try to resist but end up kissing him too. this two are killing me tbh.

the rant is ok, is good to express our feelings lol but I don't really think the same since I like Seon Jae personality. Yeah he is a fool for love but he is like that since the beginning. Still he fight Sol's noble idiocy even when he doesn't remember anything (how the movie is not a happy ending). I think the problem was Sol character was not really well written opposite of how Seon Jae was super well written and consistent. it was as easy as when Seon Jae say to her "how could you make me forgive you? how could I live without remembering you?" she should answer "I'm sorry, I just wanted to save you. I truly sorry" and then everything will have been different for me. of course this is just my opinion I know people in general love it.about Taesung I don't really agree either because I think is was a good character and never was all over Sol. he was the SML but he isn't the usual one so I enjoyed his presence.

So, that's a wrap everyone! This one was ok. There are things i really like but others were just big no no for me.

On the good list:

-The comedy was on point all the drama, even the last episodes. I laugh in a lot of moments specially the ones with In Hyuk because he is just hilarious.

-The main couple have lots of chemistry, that is undeniable.

-I think the story is very well constructed to be about time travel and i enjoyed some plot twist like the end of episode 2.

But, in the end, the things i didn't like weight more so my rating was lower that i expected:

-In the last episodes (13 to 15) we got so many flashbacks. Sooo many. This is super lazy. Some of them we saw over and over and over.

-The second couple was not it and i don't understand why we got so many scenes with them when we got a character like In Hyuk that should have all that screen time. I love him so hard and i think he was completely underused.

-And of course, the main problem, Sol's noble idiocy was just too much for me. This trope is my most hated trope and i can't really tolerate it in most cases. If it happens and then it is deal with in a good way (Like in the drama "Love is sweet" well the noble idiocy of the ML have consequences meaning the FL is mad at him for a while and he end up understading why was wrong he did that) maybe but what we got here? She was ready to reject him again at the start of the last episode if he didn't tell her that he remembers everything. Not only that, but it is Seon Jae that keeps apologizing for not remembering. I just can't take this tbh.

I will recommend this one? Well, it is funny and if noble idiocy is not something that bothers you, go for it :).

It seems like a simple and mundane story about teachers but i'm super hooked on it.

Hye Jin is a smart, talented and successful woman. She saw clearly that the director of the other academy was offering her the world because she was going to lose. She knew her own director was doing her dirty and confront him about it (What the director did was so low. Such a coward little man, he needs to beg more for her forgiveness). She is in control and knows what her goals are.

Enter Jun Ho and everything goes out of the window. Her first student, her pride as she calls him, is making her look at things in a different way. She seems to have lost her love for teaching and that seems back again thanks to him.

The last episode...everything they say to each other was beautiful and hot at the same time. His look when she told him "I like that you need me so i'm dissapointed you don't need me anymore". He was going to melt completely. (Also how i love a bold and straighforward FL tbh).

And the end when he can't take it anymore and told her everything, she is his first love and of course he needs her. I.LOVE.IT

I'm just super scared because it is really too soon for this kind of happiness so the angst is coming sooner rather that later i bet 😬😬😬

thank you! I agree 100% with you. this is the worst trope in dramas ever. my rating for this one tanked because of it.

than you! sometimes I doubt if I explain myself correctly because english is not my first language so I'm glad you find it good! this characters give me a lot to talk about tbh.

for real. Do Hae was great in that scene, Yi Na was neglected all her life and this woman just keeps treating her badly. awful.

i wanted to kill Gwi Jo's mother in episode 7. She believes she is soo superior i can't take her 😡😡😡

Yes, for me this drama was a surprise because i didn't expected this characters at all. It is a trope i like too because it is not as common. As far as i see, main couples in kdramas are not this broken and realistic. Let it be said that the last drama i watched was "Mr.bad" silly cdrama rom com and i like it too for what it was but Gwi Jo and Do Hae are giving me everything tbh.

I'm loving this sooo much omg for real. This is going to be a long rant so bear with me lol.

I think what this last two episodes give us is that the villains are clearly both mothers: Da Hae's mother of course we already knew she is a loan shark and she is basically having Da Hae hostage for the debt of her father. Now she double down and plans to profit of the Bok family forever.

But, right know, i'm not sure if Gwi Jo's mother is even worst: The way she talk to Yi Na and her own husband is despicable. Her family is completely broken and she is still hung up on some powers because those makes her feel special, different and worth it of some kind of status. "I know everything" woman you're not being able to see what is exactly in from of you (As Do Hae said) meaning Yi na powers.

The rest are cleary trying to find their way to a better life: In episode 8 the uncle was just hilarious and Yi Na tricking him was endearing.

Bok Dong Hee and Grace make a good team, i really don't understand why Dong Hee wants that trash of a man back but i enjoyed seeing grace helping her.

Yi Na had great moments in both episodes too: I don't really fully understand why she took the risk to go to the sauna, i know she trust Da Hee but the mother could have hurt her. Still i really liked her scenes together, how Da Hae keeps avoiding her eyes lol. Also when she read her father's throughts he was so confused LMAO. Yi Na is also super smart and observant. She wants Da Hae in their lives because she can see that she is the one that is going to bring her father back. When she told him "You save someone thanks to your power like you wanted to, like a superhero. maybe you can save her too" i was like, what a smart little girl.

And then, our main couple: I can say now that they're, without a doubt, my favorite couple of 2024 (Still a long year to go of course but for now). I'm surprised people in the comments said that they don't see the chemistry because, my god. I already rewatched the final scene on episode 7 when she was crying and asking "Why me?" like she can't actually believe she can be that special and he just smiling at her like that i just...all the feels with this couple tbh.

Episode 8 also let us more insight on Da Hae live and well what a shitty one it was. I understand why they like each other because, in the end, they're two broken people who finally got some hope thanks to the other one: For Da Hae is someone that is making her feel seen and special, the only one he can interact with on his time travel. He is not asking anything for her besides her time. Living a life where everyone wants something for her or simply rejected her this is huge. It is said a lot that her only happy moment is when a stranger brought her shaved ice in a station.

And for Gwi Jo is the fact that he can finally save someone. I understand what people is saying about him, that he should focus more on her daugther and not following a stranger. But we need to undertands how broken and flawed Gwi Jo is: Like he said in today's episode the first time he got his powers were frustrating because he was happy but he couldn't save the little girl's puppy. After that, the birth of her daugther was the happiest moment of his life and gets ruined because his superior died in that fire. He tried to do something going to the past and after trying it over and over and over he got in a big depression that makes his powers out of control and that is how he lost his wife. This was the end for him and his depression took over his life. I'm pretty sure he was feeling guilty for taking Yi Na's mother away for her too so he couldn't really take care of her as he should.

It is been years and, suddenly, this woman came into his life and give him the hope that he actually save someone in that fire and everything that happened wasn't in vain. That him being a neglecting husband and father was for something, that she save a girl's life. This hope is simply everything for his broken mind and soul. We already saw him trying with Yi Na, very clumsy and not enough of course, but he is trying. He just need that more push that Da Hae could give him because she is the one he saved that awful day.

I just started watching dramas and i enjoy all kinds of it. Of course i get that, in dramas, mostly is an unrealistic portrayal of love and perfect relationships and i enjoy those too. But this one is about realistic and flawed characters and i think they're doing a fantastic work with them.

yeah I know this drama is different because it doesn't have the magic component and in reality he can't feel anything but the elevator scene and other in this episode are done in a way that I feel they want us to see it that way: the love Ming feels for Joe is making him notice something. But of course we can see it a different way. for me, I really don't know. I don't really think ming is in love more obsession for the one that got a way (in a tragic way but ming is crazy probably he see it that way) but will see how it goes.

I don't really want to defend ming but I actually believe he feels something the moment he cross path with Joe in the elevator. he stop him and asked him in they knew each other and, at that point, he didn't even knew his name so it is not the Joe thing.
In this last episode when he got to know the name and also that he was a stunt double he waited to see how he do (like maybe trying to recognize Joe in the movement) that is why Joe fake doing it wrong at first.
it happens something similar on the kdrama "Alchemy of souls" the ML recognize his FL in a different girl. he was having a hard time believing it but some thing you just feel them and the writters really want us to believe that is the love he feels that is making him doubt the new Joe. the parallel between the elevator scenes with ming and sol is a big example of it.

Yeah, it was also very well done because Joe expected the same reaction that Ming had (He got tense and wait for a bit) but Sol didn't notice anything. When Ming gets to know the truth i really hope he beg Joe for forgiveness. He needs to make up for a lot.

Joe shooting for the model ad 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Omg in this ep the chemistry was off the roof and they barely interact witch each other but the looks 🔥🔥🔥. My poor Joe was going to melt when Ming keeps touching him on the set. I think it was also nice to not see Ming being that bad of a person in this episode. It let us connect with the couple more.

Wut, well, yeah he helped Joe, mostly, but he also didn't do anything for him when all the doors closed and he had to resort to the ilegal production to survive. Like, yeah, Wut told Joe not to do it but also told him that he was dead on the industry because of what happened (That it wasn't even his fault). So really i found him a little hypocrite.

I enjoy the relationship with the mother: Joe is so eager to be loved that didn't even need a second to treat this woman as his own mother and getting again on the stunt work just to help her. They are good together and i'm glad Joe have someone on his side this time around.

The parallels on the elevator scene was so we clearly see that Ming and Joe are destined because Ming notice something but Sol didn't. And the end really let me wanting to know what happens next!

PS: The cups survived 🥹🥹🥹🥹

omg this was soooo cute 😍😍😍😍😍. the end was super beautiful and Nan Xing was such a nice FL. I love her character and her way of looking at life besides the tragedy.

I love it, I feel happy inside after that wonderful end 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Ahhh they're cute together 😍😍😍. The flirting on the phone was the best and the way she just can't handle him. Things got serious in episode 4 but they make a great team.

I didn't know that academics in korea are this competitive. Hye Jin not only have to compete with the teacher of other schools she also have to try to keep balance on her own academy with the other teachers. It is hard and i think she is going to get really sick in future episodes because that level of stress can't be good (We see her have a nose bleed in this one) 😔😔😔.

That was a hard blow from the other teacher buy i really hope the student that went to their lecture will really be able to change things around.

This is getting interesting for me tbh.

my point is exactly your last paragraph "they should have talked to each other and make it work". I never said Seon Jae is 100% right. I just feel Sol is more to blame because she keeps lying to him over and over. it is justify because she feel he is going to die? could be but not for me.

we both have difference of opinion but I will please ask you don't tell me that I hate FLs because that is not the case. In most of my comments in different dramas I always liked them, so I feel offended by this comment. what I hate is noble idiocy I said a lot of times.

Seon Jae knows she is in contact with the police because something is going to happen on May 10th he doesn't know Sol called them to go to In Hyuk hometown. Taesung also doesn't tell him his father is there we only got In Huyk telling Seon Jae on the phone that she was alone so I think is normal Seon Jae got scared.
Seon Jae asked her multiple times that she will be honest with him and she keeps lying. Sure maybe he should have told her he knew about the killer I give you that. But I guess she really wanted her to be honest for once.
it is "noble idiocy" when you keep lying to someone for their own good even it is to save his life. I guess we agree to disagree.

English is not my first language so I really don't know if I explain myself ok but I blame I'm Sol because she didn't told Seon Jae the plan and, for me, that is why it failed. if she told him and still he messed up I will blame him. but this is not what happened.
No matter the situation, noble idiocy is never ok. but this is just my opinion.
