This drama started off really interesting and I had high hopes for it. Had a good variety of themes to offer: romance, comedy, action and suspense. The problem I found was the pace and interest dropped off along the way. I ended up skipping through episodes and scenes just to get an overall understanding of the story, without caring about the details. I felt that there was also too much back and forth in the leads relationship which got annoying and tiresome. I wouldn't re-watch this.

Acting wise, I felt like it was OK. No memorable performance. Some cute romantic scenes, sure.

The soundtrack was enjoyable.

Overall, I would say there are better dramas out there to invest your time in.

This drama is not a cheerful one. It has a dark and depressing mood and a mature tone to it. This makes it different from mainstream dramas out there. It also explains the lower re-watch stores.

It follows the hardship of a few characters and how they keep going on and finding comfort and encouragement in each other. It's a beautiful story of an unorthodox friendship that is beautifully told. The actors did a great job and you really get to see a different side of IU.

The music is this drama is also well fitting and contributes to enhancing the experience.
Overall, a series worth the watch if you are looking for this genre of drama. If you prefer cheery uplifting dramas - stay away.

This drama was a fun and frustrating ride. It's the story of Kang Baek Ho who attends his best friends wedding and truly regrets never confession to her. He gets the opportunity to go back in time and to do what he was never able to do in the 20 years they knew each other. By the length of the number of episodes in this drama, you can figure out that this was not as easy as one would think. Therefore, this drama can be quite frustrating, especially if you had to wait an entire week to find out what happens next. However, due to these cliffhangers, the writers really knew how to get the audience's attention and make them come back for more. The drama has many themes running: love, regret, friendship, honesty, fighting for your goals, etc. It has both funny moments as well as heartbreaking moments.

In terms of acting, I think it was well done on the part of the entire cast. The music was also quite pleasant. Overall, I enjoyed the drama despite the torture. Though, this might not be a drama for everyone, it can definitely suit the romantics out there.

I really enjoyed this drama.

The story was very interesting and heartbreaking.
The acting was very good. I am a huge fan of Takeshi Kaneshiro and he delivers very well in this drama. The character Masaki was believable in her strength to still do her best despite the situation she got herself in. She was very inspiring.
The music was impeccable, simply beautiful. I can't emphasize enough how well the music is integrated into the drama.
As for re-watch value, I'm not too sure if I'll rewatch this any time soon due to the genre of the drama.

Overall, it was a beautiful story with an amazing soundtrack. I would recommend it to people who are specifically looking for sad dramas.

From the very first episode, I was hooked to the story. The story was interesting and intriguing too since we are eager to understand the motives behind Tomoya's action. We are given bits and pieces of the puzzle at a time and are eager to know if our hypothesis is correct or not. The acting was really great. We get to experience the pain of both parties and see the extend of how this incident affects them. The music was just so perfect for the drama and I fell in love with the ending song. I'm not too sure if I would rewatch this drama, though. Overall, it's a beautiful drama that will get you to reflect upon your life and your relationships with others.

This was one of the most exciting dramas I've seen. One of my ultimate top favorite dramas. The story is itself is pretty interesting and extremely addicting. There are tons of action, funny scenes and sweet scenes. Every episode captures your attention and makes you want more. The cast is amazing. You definitely get attached to many of the characters. In particular, Lee Jun Ki did an amazing job. You get to see his array of acting skills because of his character transformation. The music was fitting. This is a series that I would surely want to watch again in the future. This one is definitely worth the watch!

I finished this drama in a few days. That's how addicting it was. The story is of a Romeo and Juliet sort ( my fave play from Shakespeare which is probably what attracted me to watch it) with a slight different ending... The drama is full of action and fighting scenes. It has its different romance stories and oh so cute/tender moments. It's a story of lies, betrayal, deceit, vengeance, backstabbing, loyalty, friendship, love, respect, righteousness and ultimately, happiness.
The characters are unique and have their own back stories. You really get to know each of them and understand the choices they make, right or wrong. The acting was top notch. It was marvelous to see how Park Shi Hoo's character changes throughout his hardships. This drama allowed us to see PSH's acting skills. Song Jong Ho was also great, so was the third friend. It's a great drama for those like to have a mixture of thrilling action and romance. Would definitely want to re-watch this sometime.
