I still think it’s worth watching since you know the destination but not how she gets there. I was pretty certain she was dreaming the entire time since ep 1 even without reading the comments but I still wondered how and when she would wake up, if the memories in her dream were all real or some were made up, was she in the future dreaming about the past or was she in a different kind of accident in the present and dreaming about a future that never happened, is the baby ok, what about Yi Pei, did he survive the plane crash?

I did not find him weak. I found him a little immature, hot headed and too independent for his own good. He was also quite insecure and having other people assure him that everything would be ok made him mad instead of comforting him. But that was his younger self, which is normal. He gets more mature as he gets older and experiences the ups and downs of life.

For me it is the other way around. I just finished this one and Ten Years Late is in my list of next dramas to watch.

My advice tho is that you do NOT read the comments. I know that you already know it is all a dream, I did not read the spoilers but I was certain of it since the first episode. So you already know the destination, but you still don’t know how she will arrive there. If you spoil yourself before watching then there will be no surprise for you and you won’t enjoy the ride as much as I did. Of course it is your decision if you read the comments or not, I am just giving you my opinion based on the experience I had watching this drama.

If you have finished it by now, you should know that she does not live since...I will refrain from saying it since you might have not finished it yet and it would be a huge spoiler.

Hate to break it to you but logically she should have died. Why? Well, if you already watched the ending you would know. I would answer that why but it would be a huge spoiler and probably suck the fun out of the drama for someone who is watching.

I have to admit this one surprised me. I am used to not liking and sometimes even dropping chinese dramas with this amount of episodes and such a dramatic storyline. But this one grabbed me from the first episode. I smiled, I felt frustrated, I cried, I felt all kinds of things. I had my theory since the beginning and although it happened exactly as I predicted, it never felt predictable. The story was made in a way that even if I knew almost for certain what the final destination would be, I was never sure how it would get there. About half of the story frustrated me a little but not too much 1 - because I knew it was needed for things to happen as in the original timeline and 2 - because I was certain that sooner or later things would happen the way I expected.

Obviously there were moments that were very skippeable, especially since I was really invested in the main story, in the leads relationship and how things would progress, so I really did not care much about anything else. I will also say this is not a binge type of drama. I was able to enjoy it because I took my time watching it (only because I was waiting for it to be fully subbed lol). I do realise this is the kind of drama that does not have much re-watch value and if I do re-watch, it has to be a few years from now when I don‘t remember much about the story anymore. Why? Because this is not one of those fluffy kind of dramas that I love so much and can re-watch many times. This is the kind of drama that provokes all kinds of emotions, and watching it too many times or re-watching it soon after finishing it would leave me emotionally tired.

That said, I did love this drama. It was not my favourite and like I said I might never re-watch it, but it definitely holds a special place in my heart.

Yeah, when I said they might as well have made her the lead, I meant a proper one. One that gets most of the screen time, not like what they did here.

I liked the first half then it started to get a little boring and nonsensical, especially that last episode. The lack of kisses or even spending time as a couple made their romance seem less real. The second main couple spent more time together as an actual couple.

Yup, I knew it...machine translation aka impossible to decipher subs. My guess is English is not your native language if you have watched more than 5 minutes of it and found nothing wrong with the subs.

It is easy to know. Either the subs make sense or they dont. If they dont then they are machine generated and you can see this when you click on languages in the video you are watching and see if it says English or English (machine translation). I will check it out but if you are not sure then the subs are not machine generated, cause believe me, if they were you would know. XD

Thanks, I appreciate that. You too. :)

One of the worst thai dramas I have watched. Idk, the whole murder mistery thing was so amateur and old and the romance was barely present and overall I felt this was a complete waste of time and just skimmed through the episodes. Did not regret skipping those, cause it really wasnt my kind of drama.

Yeah. I am pretty sure most of it is the character he has to play on stage. I am suspecting he is already aware of things although he does not understand very well what is going on. And when he is in the shadow he is jealous and possessive of Dan Oh and seems to care more about her. The ending of episode 5 makes it even more likely that he knows whats going on and also played his part in changing the original scene. I have a lot of theories, so I will refrain from reading the webtoon just so I can be caught by surprise when things happen in the drama.

LOOOL, that is so true. Not only Do Hwa gave her strawberry milk because he felt sorry once he knew she might die any moment, there was also the cake with strawberries that almost fell on her and, if my theory is right and she is turning into the female lead, then she will be having all the strawberries she wants. ^^

I did like the human part about Hotel del Luna. I did feel sorry for and angry at some characters. The ghost part just really isn’t my cup of tea cause it takes out the realism of the story. I am ok with seeing ghosts in horror movies but anywhere else makes it cringy. I like Dan Oh in the drama but I guess it would make sense for her to be more melancholic since she has a heart disease and might die any moment. She probably feels that way in the webtoon since it’s a drawing and you can only imagine her voice and feelings. In the drama a living person is portraying her so it might feel that her character became more spunky because of that, or the script writers might have done it that way to make her character more likeable for teens watching. No idea. Anyway, so far I am liking it, but we never know what might happen in the future.

Ikr, I still remember the strawberry milk scene, poor her, let her have her milk. The writer did not even let her have a sip, so mean. XD

Proper subs or machine generated ones? I deleted the app because all the dramas I wanted to watch only had machine generated subs and they were so bad that I might as well watch it raw.

No problem, I mostly watch dramas for the plot, although I do have a few actors and actresses I like seeing on screen. I agree with you in everything you said, I also was fooled into believing Great was the main character and although I am indifferent to Diana, if they chose them as the main leads then I wanted to see THEM, not Joe. Might as well made Bua the female lead along with Great instead of making her his sister. This drama definitely was the definition of lead baiting.

Ikr. Ugh T T
And especially with the way episode 5 ended. So many theories running trough my head. I should have waited for episode 6 to be out...except then I would want to watch episode 7. The struggle is real. (Btw, I love your profile pic...Dan Oh looked so funny in that scene)

Well, knowing the story already makes it a lot less interesting for you than for people that are watching without reading the webtoon. I personally do not think this is the best drama or anything but it has been definitely interesting so far. Hotel del Luna in my opinion was a lot more hyped than this one. I mostly watched for the actors and IU’s outfits which were some of the best in drama history, I don’t think she even repeated any of them. The cinematography was also nice and the osts, but the plot, which is the most important thing in a drama, was not that good for it to be considered one of the best dramas of the year. It had a promising plot, yes, but it did not live up to it and the ending was a little underwhelming. For me, I prefer this plot because it has not been done enough times yet for it to be considered a cliché. Other than this one I only know W and Unexpected with similar plots. This is to prove that everyone likes different things and what you have watched/read and how much of it you have done influences how you feel about certain stories. Almost every time I watched a drama that I already knew the story, I never enjoyed it as much as I should because my expectations were set very high and already knowing what would happen next took out the fun of it. That might be what is happening to you.
