Lay It On The ♻ Line Time After Time °VG°
Is Tomorrow Another Day After all?This drama is tense and could trigger anxiety in some - Fair warning. While it could (SHOULD) have been better, I would still say hop on the train and give TWY a ride. True, the ending wasn't that difficult to figure out. Despite that, the director still manages to set the tone with tension being a focal point. The pressure continues to gear up until the very end.
Ma-rin prefers to be behind the camera now, and in TWY her pain is framed explicitly; Shin Min Ah is superb. All the actors did a solid job, and the side vignettes are all enjoyable. Lee Jeong-Eun has such luminosity: She shines once again as Mar-in's mother. She is one of my favs. (Check her out in Oh My Ghost-10; odd title, amazing show - Some of her scenes are astonishing. Her portfolio has impressive depth of field and is jammed with highly rated shows and movies). The villain's storyline works well enough, with the actor delivering a tangible portrayal of his descent from a respected businessman-to-murderer with unfiltered evil saturation. Yes, he was originally a little crooked, but that wasn't in anybody's viewfinder.
I've noticed that Kdramas often show individuals who experience a marked character arc. Often these persons have a skewed aspect-ratio, and are initially cringeworthy in bursts of nervous awkwardness. Since these dramas are mostly 16+ hours, the characters may not start to improve for many episodes. The directors have a long time to build up or distort who the individual is. They can then put the focus on slowly developing protags from black-and-white to full RBG color.
Ma-rin is like this. Her over-exposed childhood kept her adult self shuttered in a darkroom. She had become so insecure that it was actually challenging to watch her in the first few episodes. In time, she has a wonderful transformation from dull to glossy. It is satisfying to see how she develops into the model of a confident and strong woman by the end. One might say she bloomed into a picture-perfect flower.
So-Joon also enlarges as a person. While he's clearly good-hearted, he is also a portrait of immaturity and laziness in the beginning episodes. He later becomes patient, caring, harder working, more responsible, and more loving. Since his time-traveling exploits make operating his business so easy, it's doubtful that his lazy streak will be completely edited out.
The two leads initially display a lack of chemistry. It actually seems that So-Joon is just using Ma-rin. His motives are blurry. He is an enigma, always with a matte look on his face. The director deliberately injected acidity and unease into their relationship so that we can watch it develop. The viewer is concerned for Ma-rin. Eventually, we can be happy for her. By the middle of the show their marriage is the image of warmth and love.
Ultimately, this story, and the love this couple shares, is quite charming. Like a photo in solution, TWY progresses from indifference and hesitation, to warmth, then love, and finally to sharply detailed commitment and intimate love. (Though they are adorably still too shy to strip in front of eachother.)
I adore stories about time travel. They are so much fun, but logically it's easy to encounter under-exposed plot points. The show is not without those. Why So-Joon would go near the subway on the day that he knows he'll disappear is grainy logic. I also don't know why he would take Ma-rin to the fireworks. It's not clear why his focus wasn't to get them out of town, or to not leave the house for a few days. It's a little frustrating, actually. It's understandable for the plot development of a time travel tale. A plethora of miscommunications and a catalog of flawed judgments are practically necessary, and fate always shadows Kdramas. If Mar-in's father, Doo-Shik, had jyst been more candid with So-Joon... if they had each opened their apertures a little wider, it would have been a panacea. I suppose, then, the show would have been wrapped up by episode 8.
The optics regarding time travel get distorted. In some scenes the future is pictured just as So-Joon observed from the past. Seemingly the message exhibited is that the future is set and laminated. In other scenes, though, they manage to change the future, suggesting that the future is a moveable pose. It's also unclear why So-Joon, after recovering from his coma, couldn't get back to the past when riding the subway, or why he was able to run on the tracks and get to the past. It makes no sense, at all, that the two men can time skip, while Ma-rIn cannot.
The very end displays a small snapshot of their lives 3 years hence. It falls flat with a dull thud. I didn't like the tone of their bickering, and how Ma-rin was nagging So-Joon. A little of it would have been okay if they had pushed by it right away. However, it's portrayed as entrenched behavior.
Earlier, when they had been fighting and later separated, Ma-rin concluded that she shouldn't have been so pushy towards So-Joon. She determined that she should reset her meter and back down from her insistence that he not ride the subway. To see her revert back at the close of the show is disappointing. And where's the kids? We were promised 3 kids!!!!! Instead of petty bickering they should have committed the 3 kids to film.
Now we'll point the zoom lens at one of the worst screw-ups. The director left the So-Joon who managed to get to the past hanging there. That tasty mystery should have been a resolved. So-Joon-in-the-past flashed by the screen twice - like a cartoon character - and then faded away. How could they not know that we would want to know how he got to the past! Something should have changed because of his presence there. Since he knows he somehow shot back to the past, it would make sense for him to work harder to get back there as it would have been easier to remedy their situation from the past.
Another thing they left out of focus was an explanation as to why So-Joon was in a coma. Per the doctor, there was no reason for him to be in one. The doctor shouldn't have said it if they didn't intend to explain it. (Shoot, did I miss it?)
As another reviewer so deftly put it: 'It took 16 hours to learn to not run into a busy road.' Mar-Rin shouldn't have been anywhere near that intersection at that time. Since they were there, So-Joon should have been holding on to her. If they had filmed the scene at normal speed, if she stopped and turned briefly when the certificate flew out of her hand, it would have played better. The way they chose to film it makes Ma-rin look very foolish.
The flaws might be more than minimal, but the good comfortably outweighs the bad. If romance is your thing, especially if romance and time travel are among your interests, than TWY should go on your watchlist. My "7" rating translates to "very good." It may not be picture-perfect, nevertheless, there is beauty to behold as time goes by.

great show overally .
You know one of those things you procrastinate to watch then when you finally do you realise it is amazing.Loved everything about this it was a really good show didn't have love rivals and clinging ex lovers which was good and the acting was fantastic definitely recommend . The main cast chemistry was really good and side characters fit in to their roles I will admit I didn't really understand why they made one of the characters love the male lead because it didn't really come up to anything . It was funny but not too funny because the suspense was alotEsta resenha foi útil para você?
When i saw that this drama was described as a melodrama i thought it would be boring, but although it is a melodrama the characters are quite quirky and fun and there’s actually quite a lot of comedy in this drama in general for a melodrama, which made it easier to watch. I know that a lot of people said that they thought it was sad, and although it's not the saddest drama that i've watched, i definitely felt the tears coming at one or two scenes in this drama.
Story:
A time travelling CEO sees that his future is looking tough and marries a failed actress to solve it. Although the plot wasn’t played out the way i expected it would be, i liked the drama. I love the idea of the drama and seeing him travel back and forth in time and trying to fix things and change the future for the better was just really interesting, and you’ve gotta love "Bap Soon". The only thing i would say is that i feel like it's sorta slow at times, but not to the point where it becomes a problem.
Acting:
The acting was great. Shin Min ah was amazing as always and Lee Je hoon did great too, i hadn’t seen any of his past dramas so i didn’t know about him before watching this, but i sure will watch some of his dramas now. The romance was great to, the chemistry and the kissing scenes were great, and they truly acted like they were a real married couple.
Overall the casting was just really good, i didn’t have a problem with any of the actors or actresses at least.
Music:
Very fitting to the mood of the drama, nothing i would listen to outside of this drama, the ost’s are just kinda slow, but as i said, it fit very well with the mood of the drama.

I'm also in love with Song Ma Rin, whom Min Ah brought to life so beautifully. Ma Rin was such a mess at the beginning, the former child actor and drunkard who was always humiliating herself. She wasn't totally pathetic, though; she told people off and stood up for herself. Sometimes she gave me secondhand embarrassment and was a little annoying, but I never hated her. I could sympathize with her. Then she blossomed into this confident professional, achieving a dream that made her glow with pride. She really earned the name flower girl 💓🌸
Ma Rin was the girl with a difficult past, So Joon the boy with a bleak future, the two of them united by a single tragedy. Their romance was as sweet and heartbreaking as the one in Tunnel, where a man fights to leave the future to reunite with his wife in the past. That one will be my forever favorite, but this one comes in at a close second. These two were also disgustingly cute! It was excessive, but still very endearing to me.
I'm still a little confused how So Joon became a young, rich CEO but it's hilarious how he never did any work! Like Ma Rin he had his unlikable moments but I found him fascinating: how he got so wealthy; his time traveling; his stoic personality. It was that stoicism that made Je Hoon's performance as good as it was, he just looked cool.
The male and female wardrobes were incredible but Ma Rin definitely gets the edge because of those sweaters + coats.
I think the Yong Jin storyline could have been handled a lot better, it added danger & mystery to an already complex love story. I wish Doo Shik's storyline had also been explored in depth.
Besides the convoluted plot and other issues, I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to! It made me gasp, cringe, sigh, cry...all in all a good time.

I am impressed how much i ended up liking the show!!
Ok so I will keep it short...When I fist heard about this drama I wasn't really sure if it would be my cup of tee. But then I still decided to watch it.
First I wasn't too hyped up about it, but after watching it till the end,, I am so glad that I did watch it.
The story in my opinion is different from the dramas I had watched before. Even after watching it I fist only considered it as an OKAY show,, later on the OST kept on stuck in my head as well as the story. In the end I just re-watched the drama again, and again. By now I have a watched it 6 times and I am happy about it.
So all together,, I really recommend this drama to everyone. It's cute, the story is amazing, a little different and I actually liked the ending. :))

The concept of time, has been overly used
Pairing Shin Min Ah and Lee Je Hoon is such an amazing on-screen couple to watch with. They are two of the finest actors in the industry and they did well portraying the right emotions of each of their characters which are perfect for being the main leads of the show.The thing is, I am not a big fan of time travel, and maybe the main reason why I felt bored watching the whole show. Yet, there are other dramas with similar concepts that hooked me. So I guess, it all ups for the flow of storyline to spice things up. Which, Tomorrow with You failed to accomplish.
They have their flaws that are too obvious to just let them pass by. And the ending, it is too bland for an end.

Berawal dari tweet seseorang di twitter tentang drama ini dan akhirnya gue penasaran.
Sebelumnya gue sempet liat-liat di internet soal sinopsis, trailer, dan komentar drama ini, dan anehnya hampir semua komentar atau reviewnya gak bagus.
Kebanyakan orang bilang kalau drama ini terlalu 'bertele-tele', 'menye-menye', dan ngebosenin.
Gara-gara banyak yang ngereviw jelek. gue sempet ragu untuk nonton tapi akhrnya mutusin download karena stok drama yang menipis, dan entah kenapa gue suka sama trailer drama ini.
Episode pertama emang rada ngebosenin sih. Mungkin karena karakternya si Shin Minah disini yang kurang cocok sama preferensi gue.
Tapi gue suka banget sama acting cowoknya, dan akhirnya lanjut nonton.
Semakin lama nonton, gue makin suka, dan malah ngerasa kalau drama ini berhasil masuk ke list drama korea favorit gue.
Gue jadi bingung kenapa banyak orang yang gak suka drama ini.
Padahal drama ini bagus.
Setiap orang emang punya selera sih.
Dan bagi kalian yang suka drama dengan jalan cerita yang dewasa dan minim konflik yang 'spektakuler' bisa coba nonton drama ini.
This is worth a try.

I rlly liked the relationship between the leads and the friends and I found it very refreshing the way the romance between them happened and I also liked how they did the future/present/past storyline in different point of views
This drama is really underrated, so if you think of watching it, go ahead and do it

I did not expect that I will love this drama this much
at the beginning of the drama, the whole time travelling really intrigues me. I was so curious what's going to happen, how is he gonna change his future and all that. but as time goes by, I was still curious, but I fall in love with the couple so muchh. like soo soo muchh. sometimes they're cringe but they are so cuteeeee i just kept watching. I fall in love with both characters, their character development, their love story, their feelings and all that. The next thing I know, I don't care what will happen anymore, I was just desperately hoping that this couple will have a happy ending and live happily day by day. It's been a while since I'm this emotionally invested with a couple, I cried when they fight and cried again when they made up, and happy when they're happy. And thats why, I give such a high rating. and plus, acting. amazing of course as expected from shin min a and lee je hoon. but in terms of the storyline, it was good until the antagonist came in the picture. It was kinda weak (?) maybe I expected more, idk. but as i said, the storyline isn't what I'm interested anymore at that time. so joon and ma rin is all I care.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
A time travel trope done exremely well
I have always avoided time travel trope like a plague.the world of dramas is already unreal,adding another brain frying imagination is tiring in itself.From an edit on the tiktok,i ventured into this unfamiliar territory and hoped for the best and ma glad I did.
The Synopsis was clear and it didnt derail in the story,which was well told by a very relaxed writer.am starting to think women screen writers are better.
The story is well told,the back and forth is well calculated that you dont notice at all..Normally time travel can be a bit complex which is the reason why
I dont find peace in them.I liked the way the write sedveloped the past story in details that you might think its a whole drama in itsself.and whenedver
Yoo So Joon would step into the future was just a matter of either fixing it or getting information that would help him in the past.
The drama moves at an accurate pace,unless your are extremely impetient, you would say that its a slow burn.
All the side stories were developed to fit the main story and the actors didnt miss a bit.The bromance between Yoo So Joon and his best friend Kang Gi Doong
was unreal,it was a loyalty class,He was the only normal person who knew his secret and he kept it safe for many years,without trying to force him to stop
traveling back and forth but being there in whichever world they met in.Lee Je Hoon the ML though this my first drama of his,am about to watch "Where the stars land".
Just because i find him fascinating,one of those actors with an aura of being present and swallowing a character that its hard to know if its real of fake.
Shi Min Ha will always shine in whichever role she portrays..She is a class A actress and i never have to worry about her peroformance whenver i pick her drama.
Overal this was a good drama from the era where K-drama produced quality stories.Fo someone who dont like Time travel themes,I sure was hooked from the
begining to the end,and i will recommend it at anyone looking for a stable and mature story.It did well on the romance that am adding it to my fluffy/butterflies
producing list that make you kick and screem with happiness.

I got confused at the beginning of the story between the pat and present. But from the 2nd episode I got some interest in the story. I felt nothing boring or lagging in the story until the final episode. The story is interesting.. The plot is good too. As you know how melos are taken... they are a bit slow but not slow to watch when you are into the story.
The casting was good. The play is good. I did not like the music very much though. I don't know why but I felt like there was something missing in the story. May be the logic?... I'm not sure. Or may be the plot... That too I'm not so sure. But the overall drama was a good to go. I am satisfied by the acting and also the story.
I don't know if my review is useful or helpful or at-least reasonable. But if you are able to decide whether to watch the drama or not, based on reading my review, i am glad that it helped you to decide.
Thank you for sparing your your time to go through my review.... :)

This drama was a pretty nice surprise and I’m happy I decided to give it a try.Everything was well executed and I enjoyed the time travel plot. Some moments a bit hard to understand giving the logic of the story and I found a few plot holes but definitely not enough to ruin the story.
The main couple relationship is very healthy and even tough I don’t like cheesy dramas I found myself smiling and enjoying their interactions. I found the female lead was kind of funny.
100% recommandes if you want a nice refreshing drama
