Questão de Tempo (2018)

So much time wasted

I began this drama because I saw a review somewhere saying how good it is...

Well... In the beginning, I was really invested, it was super interesting and made me cry multiple times.
the premise of this show is good except for the fact of how much singing there was. I know they are making a musical and such, but at some points, it just felt like a filler for a drama to prolong it.

So like I said before it's an interesting drama it makes you think about time, relationships and what's important in life.
But the ending was horrible, I couldn't believe how they dropped the ball on that... The whole show there was maybe one or two episodes that didn't make me shed a tear, but the ending ruined the whole show for me.

They made the entire show about how they are star-crossed lovers and stuff like that, but at the end, they just made it like oh well they have a link so that's why it's a happy ending.

I would recommend watching the show only if you don't care that they didn't pull through in the end. Maybe if they spent less time on making a musical and instead spent that time making the story they could have made up a better ending, but for now, the whole show experience is ruined for me because of the ending. Usually, I'll rewatch shows just because I want to see if I missed something or didn't pick up something, but on this show, I will not be spending my time again...

It is sooo hard to write a review about this show. Because I loved several things about it but, at the same time, it has so many flaws really impossible to ignore.

PROS
The cast is AMAZING. Lee Sung Kyung and Lee Seong Yoon are perfect in their roles, they have lot of chemistry and, let's face it, they're both so beautiful that just staring at them is fine. The ensemble cast is really, really good too.

The premise is very good and interesting, albeit sad, yet it manages to be funny.

Lovely OST, I specially loved the two main songs "Yesterday" and "Amazing Thing". Mika hopes to become a musical actress , therefore Lee Sang Kyung sings too: I am really impressed by her beautiful voice.

CONS
After a few, very promising episodes, you will slowly realize that the writers of this show have basically no idea of what they're doing. A show that, regardless of its sad premise, managed to be quite funny at the same time, suddenly becomes a tearjerker device: not only Choi Mika's life is about to end, but also the lives of almost everyone she runs into (Lee Do Ha's brother, her actress colleague, her mentor's boyfriend, Lee Do Ha's obsessed ex fiancée): seriously, how many people are supposed to die here, just because the story needs to produce 16 episodes? At the beginning I cried for certain scenes, but later everything was just too ridiculous to be sad.

Many episodes were just repeatedly stating the same concept on and on: Mika will die, but she gains time by sucking Lee Do Ha's time, hence she's so noble that she'd rather die than telling him the truth, and she starts telling lies over lies that shatter his heart in pieces in order to save him. This is what happens in... probably 10 out of 16 episodes. Over and over again. No progression. And, in the end, a very convenient "miracle" gives us the long-awaited happy ending without any real logic explanation. I know it's a fantasy, but I still appreciate some effort from the writers in giving an appropriate resolution and, possibly, with no loose ends. This is NOT what happens here. Which makes anyone's suspension of disbelief basically impossible.

I am really disappointed. With such a great cast and good premise, this show had all the requirements to become a real cult and one of the best. But it wastes its amazing potential along the way and it even looks like who wrote it don't even really care about it. Like: "This is how it ends: it doesn't make much sense, but you'll have to accept it anyway because we're too lazy to put some thought into it". Bummer.

I was really interested in this show. The idea of the girl who could see the life span clocks of everyone was unusual and intriguing. And for about the first 10 episodes, I really enjoyed it. However, then things changed.

The main female lead started getting on my last nerve with her choices. I liked Lee Sung Kyung in other things so it's not her acting. I think it was the writing for her character that really started to bug me. The on again/off again way that so much of the story was written just became too much for me. It is just riddled with plot lines that are "lets do this, no wait, lets not do this, ok well, maybe lets do this." And I'm not just talking about the main characters story line...it's literally throughout LOTS of the story lines. You just want to shout, "SOMEONE STICK WITH A DECISION ABOUT SOMETHING!"

So, I can't really recommend this show. It's not horrible, but it's not great. It's decently acted and will fill some time for you, so if that's what you are looking for, then it can fill those requirements.

Let me review this drama by points,

1) Amazing plot ruined by story writer

2) Chemistry between the two main leads not enough. First I think it will grow over the upcoming episodes but I am wrong.

3)Mika's brother relationship with Mika's friend is more interesting than the two main leads.

4) Lead actress performed well than the lead actor

5) If they use this clock concept with perfectly well written story ,this drama will be the best drama of the year.

6) Overall it still watchable if you have time , just give it a try for the handwork of about time drama cast.

Didn't like the ending, didn't really liked the cast, as if there was no chemistry between main male and female actors, but what bothers me the most is that it was pretty much useless. I was hoping one of them would die in the end or something different would happen (I'm a fan of sad endings or some type of endings that aren't happy with this type of storyline), but instead of sad ending they put useless ending instead which destroyed everything I've watched from the first episode.
Would never rewatch this drama, would not recommend to anyone. This is only good as a background if you're doing something else, not a drama to go very deep into trying to understand what's happening when in the end it's a total flop.

Love is a question of time or timing...

Could be awesome with the wonderful and thrilling idea of the story.

STORY
Life time is imprinted in everyone's skin but only few can see it. One of the few is Choi Mika, a joyful girl that has less than 100 days to live. But...
She encounters Lee Do Ha that can stop her clock and, as she discovers later, even increase her life time.

And the drama is about that. The stage is a cultural enterprise that will produce a Musical show. It deals with practice, actors, castings, etc but I think this is not important to the show. And, at least for me, is a little boring.
They struggle because of the fact that her time increases draining his time. So Choi Mika prefers not to be with him, but he loves her very much...

ACTING - it is good. Everyone does the job, but I like specially Bae Soo Bong (Im Se Mi), even if I find her character weak, even if she resembles being very strong.

OST - it's fine, I don't appreciate very much musical songs.

REWATCH - no, because there are so many shows better for me and I know the outcome of this.

OVERALL
Don't know how I can put my thoughts in order.

Is there a love triangle? Don't think so because Lee Do Ha never thought about Bae Soo Bong.
Don't understand Bae Soo ending like that! I such powerful woman and...she deserves a better ending for her. I think there are not any interesting things happening except the time struggle. Well, the second couple romance is kind of cute.

What is the reason for that ending. I think it is poor, long without addressing some issues and...
It could be so much better...

idk why some of y’all hate this K drama

Ok being honest I only started to watch this show for the actor, Lee Sung Kyung and maybe to get a few cries out of this drama because I’ve been obsessed with sad k dramas. Anyways I know people say the ending is really bad and I mean I understand that cuz I was like really confused at the end but OVERALL the k drama had very good romantic scenes and cute scenes that made me giggles a lot and I don’t get how some ppl always have to bring real life into this! Like this is k dram not irl and it has the word fantasy in the genre! I think I really like this drama cuz of the OST!!!so i highly recommend this drama to someone that likes a cute storys btw the story is pretty depressing sometimes so beware

Very good plot, but spoilt by side stories

Some generic stuff before the review of the drama: I am from India. My first review here. Used to watch Korean drama clips on Facebook. Very impressive. I don't know the titles of the clips. Very interesting fresh dramas..But then I don't get those clips these days often in my feed for whatever reason. Indian TV dramas are single dimensional. I am not going to crib about it here. I like the way how Korean people apologize each other with a half bent. Very respectful towards others., Elders are treated with respect. Quite close to Indian family standards.

This is my first Korean drama which I watched fully. I was able to finish this one completely because of the impressions i got from other korean dramas.

I am not familiar with the names of the actors. I may use their roles instead.

The plot was very interesting and fresh. In the small clips that I used to see in my feed, I got to see the intro of the drama and I felt it was an interesting perspective. In fact that single scene and the lead actress are the reason the show was watchable for me. I am here reading reviews after watching the ful drama because of the only reason that I am unhappy with the way the interesting plot was messed up because of not so good side stories and unrelated musicals / songs in between ruining the whole plot. I skipped all the songs. It was slowing down the show.

- The whole casting was good. Except that the age difference between the two lead actors was visible. He is a great actor, but for his age. three women fighting over him was bit unacceptable

I totally get that the hero was grim because of his past break-up and if it has been a young actor, someone like that director in the drama, it would have been great.

The best scenes are the ones between the lovers. The actress negative role was also good.

All the sub plots seems okay. Somehow the drama didn't have the same impression i used to get in the clips

About time introduces the viewer with a new concept, the ability to see your time of death. The whole drama revolves around the question, what if you meet someone who can extend your life? So, the premisses nice enough, the story interesting, the chemistry between the two leads is killing it and the first episodes were sooooo good, it was only a matter of time beofore this one started to go down. And it did. Unfortunately, the musical parts were tiring, the story started getting boring and the twists were just too predictable to entertain. Those things killed the romance, that was so strong and emotional at first. The final ending was good, but I guess a more dramatic one would have been kind of better.

About Time (2018) - The concept of the drama is really nice, but I think the chosen actors for the drama fell short of my expectations, and eventually made the drama uninteresting for me as a viewer. I did finish this drama for the sake of finishing this one. There is no definite reason behind the clock and all and so I think an answer was not given to me as a viewer to think that it is the main focus of the drama as the name suggest. I think it’s too “romantic” for me, still there are heartbreaking moments especially when it comes to family but I think it gets more tiring at the end part since the comedic part was nowhere to be seen which is what was initially portrayed in the drama. No chemistry between the leads and sorry female lead, this type of character does not really suit you.

Well the last episode was really confusing for me but still I managed to finish it. What I loved in this drama was the MUSIC. I really can't help but fell in love with the songs and the background score. This was a different genre and was interesting to watch it at first. But I felt bored in the middle of episodes and stopped watching it. After some gap I again continued to see it. I can't say I loved this drama but it was okay in general. It was bit boring for me and I wished the male lead actor could be some other guy. Overall it was a decent drama with few ups and downs.

The concept of 'seeing life clocks' was interesting and that's what made me watch this drama.

Story : In the beginning the story was good leading on to something but didn't. Even if the Choi Mikaela could see the time how they survived was a mystery I couldn't grasp. The love triangle made me want to drop it all along.
Acting: Leads role were good. Choi Mikaela and Lee Do Ha both did well and their chemistry got good after a while.
Park Woo Jin ( Secretary) did an amazing job bantering with Lee Do Ha all the time. Han Seung Yeon and Choi Wi Jin had very cute roles and I loved them! Although the mother was irritating to watch. The director, old lady, Lee Do Ha's brothers all there for no reason.
Music: There were so many songs in the drama and only few were good.
Overall: It was pretty average if you count everything in.
