A lot of time travel dramas these days tend to focus on one the leads going to the past and the whole drama is set around the past but this one takes the meaning of time travel in a different way.
For one, this drama actually shows the consequences of changing details of the past. Whether big or small, it has a big impact. I actually appreciate that and like this concept because most dramas just tend ignore this part, allowing for the one who time travel to do whatever they want.
This drama not just focuses on the past (2006) but also the present time (2019) as well. This can be a good and bad thing. The good is you see the effects of one's action in the past impacting the present time. You see the correlation of the main leads in the past and in the present time, how they both help each other out. Now the bad part, there are a lot of back and forth between the time period and a lot of times when they switch time period scenes, the scenes can be pretty random and not have any real purpose for the episode other than to fill in the minutes of the episode. For me, it started pretty well, seeing the present ML getting help from the past FL to save not only his grandpa but also his past self from bad decisions. The relation of the present time and past time worked really well here. After that was solved, the drama sort of went astray from this idea, as it seemed more like I was watching two dramas instead of one. If I had to be honest, this is where the drama got a bit boring for me, even though I still enjoy the cute scenes of our ML & FL (mostly during their high school days).
We really see the risk factor and big consequences towards the last few episodes of the drama. Though I kind of wanted more happiness in the final episode, I do like how this drama wrapped up the last episode, even though it kind of felt bittersweet to me, but it made sense, like time is trying to realign with itself after being changed so much by the ML.
Overall, not a bad drama. A great cast, good osts, story plot can be confusing at times, especially with all of the scene switch of the past and the present time and understanding how the time theory & consequences works, but I say this is an above average drama.
