I remember reading the manga a few years ago but I dont think the movie is that good. Like many other japanese movies based on mangas, this one too feels like something is missing. We dont really have time to connect to the story and characters. Also, the acting is a little too much for me. In the manga it is ok when Aoi screams and overreacts to things, but seeing a real person doing it is a little cringy for me. I gave it a 6/10.
I'm struggling with finishing this drama. I have only a couple of episodes left but am finding myself uninterested…
My thoughts exactly. Usually I take 2 days to watch a 16 episodes drama, this one took me almost 3 months. Around episode 10 I started feeling bored watching it.
looks like i'm not the only who's stuck... its so hard to finish his drama, innit?
No, youre not the only one. Before you posted this comment I had already started watching this and only finished now. It took me almost 3 months to finish it. I had to keep forcing myself to watch 1 episode and then another till I reached the last episode. After episode 10 I skipped a lot of scenes too. Usually I take 2 days to watch a 16 episode drama, this one took me months, which is sad because I kinda liked the first few episodes...then I just got stuck.
I don’t know if I am the only one but I was invested in this for the first few episodes and then started to feel bored watching the other ones. It took me months to finally finish it. I had to force myself to watch it and the last episodes I skipped a lot of scenes. I just could not get hooked to the story and characters. I even thought the bromance was better than the romance between the lead couple, and romance is my favorite genre.
This dorama is on level every crappy shojo manga/anime ever. The acting is horrible, story predictable as hell,…
I know what you mean. Both story and characters have no depth. The acting is cringy most of the times too. 5 episodes of 20 minutes is also not enough to develop anything. I would describe this as fan service. There is nothing more than that. I remember reading the manga a few years ago and I think I liked it since I still remember most of the story but some mangas should stay as mangas. Watching real people acting like characters in mangas can be really cringy. This was one of those cases.
I dont think this needs a second season but definitely needed a few more episodes or at least a movie. The romance between the leads was way too slow paced and in the end I felt like it just wasnt enough. I cant blame the drama tho since it is based on a manga that I remember reading a few years ago. This is a one time watch for me and I do not handle very well this type of slow paced and frustrating romance so I can only watch romance like this once in a while. Still, I did like it, just wish there was more focus on the romance between the main leads. 6.5/10
I now understand why so many people are calling this drama frustrating in the comments. Based on the first episodes I started having expectations that maybe I would really like this, give it a high rating and rewatch it in the future. I was SO WRONG. Without spoiling it, let me try explaining how it felt using food as an example.
Imagine you go to a restaurant for the first time. You have no expectations about the food since all the previous restaurants served you food that was just ok. Then to your surprise you get served something delicious. You have a bite, a second one and you really start enjoying it. You can only think: "If the first dish is this delicious, then Im sure everything else up to the dessert will be too". Then, suddenly, the waiter comes and takes the plate out of the table without even letting you finish the food and instead gives you instant noodles (nothing against instant noodles, I eat them too). You are still hungry so you end up eating the noodles (not like you have another choice). The waiter comes again and this time you hope he will serve you something better, something as good as the first dish. But no, he serves you a hot dog (again, nothing against hot dogs). By the time he brings you dessert, and this time it is a delicious looking one just like the first dish, you are not able to enjoy it as you're full from eating the noodles and hot dog and just want to finish the dessert fast so you can leave the damn restaurant.
If you already watched this you will probably understand my weird explanation and if you did not then go ahead and watch it anyway. I am not saying I did not like this, I just felt they had the chance to do so much better but ruined it by focusing too much on the sub plots instead of the main plot. The focus should have been more on the fake marriage and how their relationship evolved, but instead they gave us useless supporting characters that if were not there it would not have affected the main plot at all, and sub plots that did not really fit what was supposed to be a rom-com. In the end, what could have easily been a 8 or 9 based on the first few episodes turned out to be a 6.5/10.
Loved that they gave us a happy ending for everyone, a marriage and a sneak peek of their married life. Just wish they showed us a little more of it. Afterall she lived for 70 years without having children and by consequence grandchildren, so it would have been nice to see some kids running around the house for the perfect ending.
Most of the times it made me cringe. There were way too many things that made no sense and way too many times people were dumb. Pil’s friends got to be some of the worst friends I have ever seen in a drama. They had absolutely no trust in him and made his life harder instead of being helful. I could not connect at all with the main love story. It was pretty much him running after her and her dennying the way she felt. My favorite part was actually the psycho husband’s story but even that they decided to mess up in the last episode by making him act out of character. Why would he go and get treated when in the future he refused so much that idea that he wanted to leave Korea? It would have made more sense for him to act even more psycho after being dumped on his wedding day.
Ok, it was a happy ending but it was not convincing at all. I gave it a 6 just because of the thrilling part of it, which as I said before was the psycho’s story. (got a lot of Strong Woman Do Bong Soon vibes from it and not just because it was the same actor)
A cheating boyfriend for me is a big no-no and it seems like it wasnt his first time cheating so, Im sorry, you look cute and all but even if you were Lee Min Ho or Ji Chang Wook, I would still not take you back. Someone who cheats once, does it twice (it seems he had cheated on her before with a different woman), and someone who does it twice will keep doing it.
If anyone wants to watch this, let me know through a private message. I have found a place to watch all 6 episodes with english subs. I am not posting the link here because that will result in the videos being deleted.
Everything. I have my meals while watching dramas. From the food I cook to snacks like cookies, chips; all sources of food are part of my drama watching. ^-^
I feel there were things left to explain or that they could have worked on a little more. But for me the biggest…
True. I liked the fact that it wasnt a serious drama. It was funny and light to watch. But if the time travel had a little more logic to it I would probably have given it a 9 or even a 10. It was still one of the best 2017 dramas for me.
Wow...just wow. Never a drama with such a "plain" plot and characters managed to make me watch all of it and feel like it was great from the first episode till the last one. When I say plain, I dont mean boring. By plain I mean this is about normal people with normal lives. Its about dreams, work, relationships. It is about real life, yet I felt excited watching it from episode 1 to 16. There were no perfect human beings here. No super rich chaebols or arrogant, genius and good at everything characters. They all had their stregths, but they also had faults.
This one was a pleasant surprise and it is now part of my Top Dramas List. 9/10 just because I want more.
Can someone tell me who is Jihoon's mom and about Malsook, what is her relationship with Kwang Jae? Is she…
Wow. I just now understood why they called it the twin typhoon. XD
Thanks a lot. I was so confused. I had my own theory of how it would end but now I guess the one they used also works, kinda. This was the comment I wrote before reading yours:
"I feel there were things left to explain or that they could have worked on a little more. But for me the biggest thing was: arent there rules to this whole time travelling thing? He just met with his 1994 self like it was no big deal and then we all know his 1994 self ends up dying that year, his body was buried but at the same time his 23 years old self is alive in 2017. I think it would make more sense if he find out he had a twin who was jealous of him and took over his life and pretended to be him when he disappeared in 1993. That twin would be Ji Hoon’s father and ended up dying to a disease in 1994.
But oh well, I guess this is just my opinion. Anyway, I still liked it a lot. It will be in my Top List. Gave it a 8/10."
