This review may contain spoilers
Giving this a 9 because there were so many different genres in this show that I was slowly losing my mind but the cast was /perfect/.

***THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS AHEAD PLEASE BE WARNED***

I mean I could see how writer-nim wanted to connect Bong Soon to the mystery and crime angle in the story but I think it just took so much time and dragged the show a bit because of the seven brides thingy (I was so pissed at the police for always missing the suspect lol). The side characters were ok for me but then some of the screen times were unnecessarily long. Poop jokes were a bit too much but the interactions between Min Hyuk and Secretary Gong will always have a place in my heart!

The cast was just A+. PBY and PHS were just off the roof with their chemistry. PLEASE DATE IRL lol JEBAL MOM AND DAD PLS DATE IRL!!!! The last episode almost killed be because of its cuteness AND YES BECAUSE I AM A SUCKER FOR ROMCOMS. Secretary Gong was one of my favorites tbh! That character was such a living meme lol. Bong Soon's mother was definitely me whenever I see the BongMin couple!

Loved the OST too, I think PD-nim chose the right songs for the right moments. The SFX were great too, the cat/puppy noises, etc. It added flair and cuteness to the show.

I would watch this again though but maybe I'll skip the filler parts and just proceed to my favorite episodes/scenes.

I'd like to start by saying that I was always someone who browsed this site and looked for new dramas to watch. However, after watching Nobunaga Concerto, I just had to make an account and review this awesome drama.

Nobunaga Concerto is the best Japanese drama I have watched so far. It makes you smile, it makes you laugh and it makes you cry. It has all the elements of a great drama. You will find yourself unable to stop watching episode after episode. The chemistry between Saburo and Kichou was heartwarming and every single actor's acting was faultless. They integrated with their characters flawlessly and you'll find yourself thinking, HOW THE HECK CAN PEOPLE ACT THAT GOOD?

I nagged my parents to watch it for days after I finished. When they agreed and started watching, I re-watched the whole thing with them again lol. They really enjoyed it as well and we went on to watch the movie which continues the story after the drama.

Overall, I highly, highly recommend this drama to anyone interested in watching Japanese dramas or is doubting whether to watch this. You will not regret it! The movie was brilliant as well and is a must watch for anyone who finishes Nobunaga Concerto to see how it all ends.

Music : It starts with good title music and the drama itself also has some good music.

Acting : The Mc is like a veteren actor, no flaws and the other cast also ddn't dissapoint here. Especially the Friends daughter she nailed her rebelous role. I think she would become a great actress in the future.

Story : As you can see from synopsis its about a guy trying to find reasons to live again when he was trying to cut off all links to die alone. Its a beautiful story which was aptly played by the MC in the drama.

although being a taiwan drama it has more episodes which wud be huge red light but if you give it a try you wud come to like the characters. Also the rewatch value is 9 becoz i want to see it again which is very very rare for me and just the thought is enough for it to have 9.

All in all i wud recommend it as it is a drama worth 9 / 10.

I absolutely loved this show. If you're someone who enjoys a cute rom-com and some fluff, then I would definitely recommend this show to you. Although there's more to it than just fluff, trust me.

I think the actors were amazing in this show. Park Bo Young was just the cutest and her acting was just spot on. The actors had great chemistry and I love them. The soundtrack was also great. There were a few songs that got stuck in my head but luckily, Spotify already had them. There were more than a few times where I found myself laughing at loud. I love comedy and this show was hilarious.

There are some flaws in the plot and I wanted to see a bit more, but then again, we all have flaws.

First of all it shud not start with a suicide death when the drama is trying to be a rom com, A big mistake(bad editing i wud say). i liked the boss Yeon Woo Jin acting of an introverted person.

I liked the layer by layer reveal the plot/ reasons during last episodes. The Fmc is annoying at first but came on track later. I really liked the Fmc's sister Han Chae Ah . I wud have loved if she were the main lead instead of Park Hye Soo. She was more beautiful than Fmc in my opinion and her acting also very good than Fmc.

this might be a miscast. For whatever short time she had Han Chae Ah nailed it be it love or sad. Also the story stagnates after characters introduction. I mean it doesn't move forward and most of the story development, romance happens after 10th episode.

Also the Mc's friend, i mean come on i don't understand why he doesn't get sued for sexual harassment being touchy with almost every woman he comes in contact with, like they were his buddies. This is after what he had done before( you wud think he wud change)

Although there were flaws i enjoyed it becoz of Mc, romance, comedy (little) it is worth of 8 / 10.

STORY: Inn tries really hard to get his mother to accept his sexuality and his relationship with Max. The way that he first comes out to his mom with Max, my jaw hit the floor. Then his second attempt? I was laughing. That poor mom. I liked how Max was willing to be there for Inn through all that uncomfortableness.

ACTING/CAST: Fine job.

MUSIC: Was there any?

REWATCH VALUE: Maybe.

OVERALL: Quick watch, 20 minutes. Moving on.

I thought this would be a drama about time travel, however I did not think it was the main focus, but attention I think this isn't bad.

Let's face it, Tomorrow with you has a slow story at the beginning, but that all events will intersperse in the future and that everything, even everything in the drama has a reason, and it's worth being mentioned.

The romantic part of the story was really the most realistic I've seen to this day in dramas, I found a bit lame all their actions "where is my wife?? " But I laught so hard it was very funny, so I thought is not lame is cute they are cute. The drama dealt well with this relationship and its gradual development.
Aside from the problem that will lead to the action itself, I found that this drama speaks much more about the fact that we ourselves, who do not travel to the future, but are still worried about it, and that we will somehow forget the present, when we need to be happy.

The actors' work was very good, of all of them, the emotions were there and I loved it. The as the chemistry between the main, and everyone around them have a good relationship.

As for the soundtrack, yes, I liked it, it's composed of calmer but well-played songs.
Rewatch Value? Hum maybe with someone you have not seen.

It's crazy how it's been so long since I watched thia drama and watched the kmovie version as well, but suddenly, I chanced upon this again in mydramalist and I remember how I felt watching this like it was just yesterday. I cried so many frustrated tears over this story. They just can't catch a break, maybe it was because they keep choosing to do the wrong thing and trying to wrongly justify it. And the main lead just love the girl too much he does everything she ask and sacrifice everything for her. Crime always pay, but it's just unfortunate that the lead, as children, had to resort to murder to free themselves from abuse.

But overall, it's a very good story, just be ready for a lot of tragedy and get some tissues ready when u watch. Plus yamada and ayase are very good actors so it's a real tragic treat.

This is one of the dramas I would like to binge watch just because 2 episodes per week ain't enough. It's a very typical kdrama romance, but very light on the angst so it's very enjoyable to watch. I never expected much from the leads. I've only seen SungHoon in Noble, my love and I'm not impressed with the acting there but he is a surprise in MSR, he improved alot in the acting department and I especially liked the way his eyes expressed how he feels during the last part of the ep 1, the one night stand. I felt that the acting on both leads made the scene passionate but less racy. The story so far is fast moving, no unnecesaary scenes (the beauty of 12 episodes).
I recemmend this to those looking for a romcom with great kissing scenes.

I just started watching this but you know when you don't get popular cast due to budget cut then cast look alike actors. Thats what happened here(in my opinion).

The 19 year old one looks like Seo In Guk and the 29 year old looks like Kim woo bin. I shit you not. I had to look clearly to confirm they were not.

The premise is good and different characterisation is also good. But the 29 year old one, I mean come on. If you got crush on someone you don't go around fuc**ing people of her friends, colleages etc in front of her creating an image of playboy, slut. Then go around moping after finding that crush has fallen for other guy. Come on , what kind of shit is this character smoking??

Edit : woah.. I hated the 29 year old guy at first but he came on right track by the end. The romance was good in all three pairs. I thght it wuld not deliver but It surprised me.

This is a good drama worth of 8.5 / 10

This drama has it all romance and suspense, however its your run of the mill Korean drama and i have seen a lot of similar once. Its very typical but doesn't lack its charm it was very fun to watch but if you don't have a lot of time on your hands i don't suggest delving to deep into this drama. they do switch actresses towards the end and i couldn't help but notice it, a lot! however watching it to the end didn't make it impossible and the actress did her best with what she got. overall if you like having a drama playing in the background while you do household chores like i do i recommend this one!

Totally recommended!
If you want light but thrilling drama, you guys should check this out. The only downside of this drama is that it gets really unrealistic at times but really enjoyable overall. The chemistry between the leads is SO LIT and I couldnt get over it for weeks. I really love the acting and there are no awkward moments of acting between the leads. All seems natural and legit!

The movie is great! Lots of action and fighting scenes, the plot is intriguing and full of surprises. I enjoyed watching it a lot. The best part for me is the relationship between Kim Je-Ha and Choi Yoo-Jin as these strong willed characters, full of power and each having its own drive manage to form a strong connection with each other.
The other characters in the drama are also interesting, each having his/her own thing to be remembered with.
I recommend the drama to those who like dramas like City Hunter or The Healer, for me watching this was a really thrilling experience.
