they made it so complicated that it ended up not making any sense

the cast and their acting was amazing but i'm gonna be very honest and say, the story just got worse and worse as the episode went by. they made it so complicated by making the main couple and even the psycho killer be able to time travel. the romantic scenes lost its spark for me because 99% of the time i didnt know who's who. it icks me to think that junhee (or was it minju? lol) might be kissing somebody else that isnt her lover which to be frank at episode 10 i dont even know anymore if it was yeonjun or siheon that she fell inlove with in the first place. i get it that maybe they were going for the "even if we're two worlds apart we will find each other and love each other" trope thats why both junhee (minju) and siheon (yeonjun) can time travel but when it was revealed that the psycho killer can time travel too and on top of that chan hui wasnt actually the killer but actually it was chanyeong his little brother who happens to look exactly the same as chan hui even if they arent twins???? jesus christ its all just nonsense at that point. anyway, the ost gather my tears by seo jiwon was good tho, i loved it. also, i didnt watch the taiwanese version so this opinion is solely based and about the korean one.

So Jooyeon and Seo Jihoon carried this drama

I'm giving the 8.0 stars rating entirely to So Jooyeon (Somang) and Seo Jihoon (Hamin). Their acting and the storyline of their characters made me want to finish watching this drama. They both did so well portraying Hamin and Somang, they conveyed the pain and sadness and at the same delivered a good portrayal of young love. The acting of the other main characters wasn't convincing. Almost everything they did felt so awkward, forced, cringey, and out of place but its not really a big deal because they're still rookies and I'm pretty sure they will improve later on. The only time I felt connected with their characters is in the very last episode. It felt like they were a little bit more comfortable with their characters.

It was fine but I think it could've been better.

I enjoyed the movie, especially the chaotic bickering of the entire cast but mainly IU and Seo-Joon's characters. My only problem with this movie is the way they wrapped up some of the characters' story. I liked In-sun's story so I was kind of anticipating how will they wrap it up but it left me confused at the end; Was his encounter with the girl from the Japan team just an imagination or something? That's how I see it given that he also saw her image on that girl who bought a magazine from him at the very end of the movie. Also, I feel like some of the characters backstory was lacking (the gangster guy and the gay character) compared to the others (the IMF uncle/ the construction worker uncle). All in all I still consider this film worth watching, there are a lot of moments that will make you emotional and ecstatic.

had me giggling and blushing every episode

i liked the pacing of the story in this live action series. when i watched the anime there are episodes that felt too much like a filler so i'm glad they toned it down in this version. i haven't read the manga yet so idk what went down there but let me tell you this, i seriously loved the fact that they paired ayane with kento because in the anime there were times that it felt like the story is hinting something between pin and ayane so i'm so glad that in this version they didn't do that. also, when i watched the anime i was actually hoping that kento and ayane will get together so this is a win for me i guess lol. i also liked how this adaptation cleared some of my musings and questions after watching the anime, like the reason why kazehaya quir baseball. loved the casting, especially for chizu, ayane, and pin; felt like they came out straight from the anime even their hairstyle and clothing matched. kinda bummed out that there are scenes from the anime that they didn't include in this version like the one where kazehaya got weak knees after having eye contact with sawako lol that was such a cute moment. ngl the anime version felt a lot more romantic and heart fluttering and like it was you know perfection haha but they did well with this adaptation and its still worth a watch <3

I liked it except for ONE THING

I enjoyed watching this drama, mostly because of the fact that it makes you think and ponder about a lot of things. It gives many decent insights, largely about romantic relationships but not limited to that. It also tackles friendships, family, and life in general. I love how it talked about instances where you are in love with the thought of love and not necessarily the person you're with or the fact that some people like or try to like someone just because they confessed that they like them. The only thing that annoyed me about this drama is, Mami (the mc's sister). I don't get her. I tried to but I just ended up screaming to my TV screen. I don't get why she cannot just communicate with her husband like, she doesn't even try. She shouldn't have married him if she didn't want him to act like a married man. I know her feelings are valid, I also wouldn't want to change my surname after getting married and I also cant blame her if she only realized all those things after getting married but the thing that was really unacceptable is the way she didn't communicate with her husband. She just told him to figure it all out on his own. ngl tho the way the husband just cant say no to the part-timer girl gave me the ick. Basically, it was frustrating to watch them ruin their relationship because they cannot communicate properly. I really tried to understand her but she's really just... awful. Well, that's that but all in all i liked this drama. The inner monologues are so funny and relatable and It was fun guessing and anticipating who will the mc end up with or if he will even be with somebody by the end of the story.

this drama is a gem ✨

This review might sound biased or something just because i'm a boyband/boygroup stan in real life lol. I don't know about anyone else out there but tsubasa honda and fumiya takahashi's chemistry had me screaming, crying, throwing up from the very first episode. I was literally punching the wall, trying not to wake my neighbors with my scream because its 2 freaking am and i'm binge watching the whole drama. I finished the entire drama in a day. I was hooked from the very first ep, I couldn't stop watching it. I also loved how the other 8loom members portrayed their roles. I saw and felt how different their characters are compared to each other. I must admit that the acting was a bit off sometimes but I can't help but like all of them and be amazed by them especially because some of the 8loom members have to start from scratch, including Fumiya who played the main character in the drama because he's not an idol by profession in real life and to think that they even made actual music videos (you can find it on youtube), recorded the songs themselves which are available on spotify and other music streaming platforms and even performed in KCON Japan 2022 (currently watching their performances on repeat hehe) and they did so well, that's some serious hard work and dedication right there. I was really impressed by Fumiya and Tsubasa's acting, I saw Dan and Asuka in their eyes and I felt it in their actions. I also liked the songs by 8loom. The way the characters talked about dreams and goals in life felt way too relable. All in all, this is a good drama and i recommend it! especially if you're a fangirl like me hehe Its now one of my fave jdramas for sure <3

this drama is worth my time

It took me a long time to finish this drama. well, it has 50 eps (on netflix) so that's that but also i actually put it on hold for some time because it kind of got draggy at the middle part of the series (for me) but then i'm glad i decided to pick it up back and finish watching it. every character in this drama had their own story to tell which i enjoyed watching. the three sisters (gahee, nahee, dahee) are one of my fave kdrama sisters ever and they're all so pretty. i loved their sibling dynamics, its's so fun and heartwarming especially when they're all together in one scene. loved the chaotic and funny energy that the gyujin/nahee and jaeseok/dahee moments gave, almost all my favorite moments in drama are the ones where this two couples are together in one scene. the osts/bgm were good too and fitting to the drama. loved that every character (i think) had their own love interest or you know ended up with someone romantically. its a drama with a lot of cliches but it also gave a lot of life lessons especially with regards to family and relationships. it made me cry and laugh which basically all i need to appreciate a drama. the number of episodes did threw me off at first but i got through it and its worth the time. i enjoyed this drama <3

not bad but not good

the plot of the drama is interesting, it makes you think; it makes you want to know who's behind everything and why. it makes you want to hear what the characters have done to be subjected to this torture but when it comes to the acting, it wasn't convincing. it was cringey at some point. there was no feelings/emotions for some of them (tbh all of them at the very start). the acting was even lower than bare minimum. it got a little bit better (i think lol or maybe i just got used to the actresses/characters) towards the end. well, i read that they're all in a girl group so basically they're idols and i think this is their first acting project so maybe they'll improve later on. If you're hesitant to watch this bcos scary dramas are not your cup of tea, i think you'll be fine. Its not scary, its just surprising sometimes.
