i'll start off by saying that i did not watch the original c-drama, so i had no expectations going into this. but this was suchhh an amazing watch! cried multiple times, loved all the characters and i was rooting for every single one of them. i also really enjoyed the kids scenes (maybe even more than the more grown up versions at first lol), so cute and great acting.
great casting for the 3 main characters: i love that juwon, sanha and haejun visually don't match together at all, because it fits the 'found family/family by choice' concept sooo well.
also: choi wonyoung (dad of the year! yoon jeongjae!) is great at playing dad-roles. he was amazing with both the kid and grown up versions of the characters, he killed it!! esp his emotional scenes with kang haejun... amazing.
solid 10/10 drama for me. watch it if you're into something a bit slower paced and more slice of life. vibe wise, it reminded me of 'age of youth' (slice of life) and 'twinkling watermelon' (family focused). highly recommend it!!
i really enjoyed this! went into this drama with 0 expectations but the complexity of some characters and the acting really surprised me. very friendship centered which i love! the friendship between joon and soohyun was the highlight of the show for me.
this altered my brain chemistry in a way i cannot explain. i have watched this many times and it seems to get…
some of my fav scenes as a chronic rewatcher: 1) the intimate scene (with cuts back to their first time… the contrast!!! heartbreaking!!!)
2) when dohoe and juyeong reunite in dohoe's childhood home, pay attention to the clock in the back. the time in dohoe’s shot is different from the time in juyeong’s shot: it’s all connected to the time of the incident with dohoe’s dad.
3) the no-cut scene of dohoe and juyeong in dohoe’s apartment omg… insane chemistry!
this altered my brain chemistry in a way i cannot explain. i have watched this many times and it seems to get better every rewatch (so many small details to pick up on!!!). it’s such a beautiful display of how trauma manifests in people differently. all characters are flawed, complex and really well written. plus beautiful cinematography, love the way they play with cold/warm lighting to set the mood between dohoe and juyeong. director hwang daseul, you’ve truly done it again!
the editors know exactly where to insert the secret relationships intro at the start of the episode... had me yelling at my screen every time it popped up! one of the best kbls i've watched, will def be rewatching!
even though the first half of this drama was stronger than the last half (some plot lines were executed better than others), i really enjoyed watching this. it’s a fun and wholesome drama to watch!
this was a lack of communication-rollercoaster from beginning till the end. the acting was amazing though. they had great chemistry and their face cards... unmatched!
i ugly-cried multiple times while watching this. what an amazing drama. yes there are some flaws in the storyline and pacing, but i feel like that's a given with universe/time travel dramas. don't let it deter you from watching this gem!!
this was fantastic, loved the long scenes without cuts and the conversation about masculinity throughout the eps. and if you hate age differences as much as i do: give this one a chance, because it's not done in a bothersome way.
started off a bit weak (and that One bed scene in ep 1 was... not it) but ep 4-6 are truly amazing. very relatable as someone who's stuck in the corporate world. the crying scene on the floor was GREAT acting work from kaneko shunya!
unfortunately, i couldn't get over the fact that they're basically brothers - not blood related, but still brothers. i almost wish they had turned this into a drama where they'd grow closer together as brothers while navigating high school/university life (you could still add the bl element, just not between the main leads). still a cute watch though!
one of my favourite bls. the final episode made me cry lol. creative concept that was executed perfectly and great chemistry on screen. will be rewatching!!!
