- It requires high attention from you. Else, you'll get confused about what's happening in the story.
- It requires your "super memory brain" to remember the characters at the beginning of the episodes since you'll be provided some character names.
- No comedy.
- What happens with the webtoon? :(
Main feature:
- ENDLESS PLOT TWISTS. There's a plot twist in the plot twist of the plot twist's plot twist.
- High tension drama, you'll see pretty much murder cases.
- NO ROMANCE SH1T. A pure mystery drama.
- Feel the roller coaster sensation! You could never guess who're the protagonists, who're the antagonists. You'll be betrayed by the plot, like every half of the episode.
- One of the best mystery drama you'll find in 2020.
- The female main character is not weak, no over-crying scenes.
- The male main character is not overpowered, he isn't an instant hero.

up until the things get revealed , it has a good watch value , contrary to some opinions , i think that the last 2 or so episodes were amazing as well, and in a kdrama world where they always mess up the plot for no reason , this drama held out well. in first few episodes you might be baffled what is going on , but its not that hard to keep on track . in the later episodes things will get intense ( but no dragging ) . it was a clearly well written and directed drama , almost no plot holes and even if things get predictable , there are hardly any cliches. this is not the most mind-blowing time travel drama in the sense that its not that complex, if you hold into some key points then its enjoyable to watch. there will be many twists , so many twists but you won't regret them , none of them are unnecessary.
the acting was on point. there were no overdrawn cliches and despite having dynamic leads there was no romance at all , which in a sense helped the drama to get into another level , because there were no other variables involved, for which i really liked the drama. i can't deny that i wanted to see their cute moments but the pace of it really over shadowed my desire for it haha . each of their acting was natural and when i say it felt natural i mean all of the lead characters and side characters . their portrayal really felt so real. aside from the main leads , i really liked the acting of the actress who was se rin 's character she was very good .
the drama had a very good ending and i am glad that they didn't drag it for making 16 episodes and ended it at 12. i always felt like time travel or mystery dramas can be very well made into 12 episodes or 14 at least , then there remains no unnecessary dragging involved. my review might not be very articulate , but i really want to people to watch it if they read this review. it was one of the best dramas i have ever seen in terms of time travleling , which never felt out of line for one moment , it started good , continued good and ended very good. a very well written , directed and acted drama.

Underrated Gem
This drama needs to be on every list compilation of thrillers in KDramas. The plot is quite unique and as the story unfolds all the characters are tied to each other in some way or the other. I binged this in two days - it’s so fast paced and gripping and only 12 episodes.Story: A group of people are selected and get the opportunity to reset and go back a year in their life. Interestingly they get tied to a series of murders. Lee Joon Hyuk is the detective and Nam Ji Hyun a webtoon writer get together to solve the mystery.
Cast/ Acting: Good cast but Lee Joon Hyuk and Nam Ji Hyun clearly steal the show. There is zero romance but their chemistry is fire. Nam Ji Hyun’s female lead is so sharp , fearless and intelligent in this , I was in awe of her as much as Lee Joon Hyuk’s detective was in her ability to be one step ahead in solving the clues. Also the dog Maru - very important character !
Music: Don’t remember much of the album but it supported the mystery element of the drama.
Rewatch Value : I haven’t rewatched it except for the scenes in the leads. It’s because of lack of time, I should go back and watch it again.
Overall: Highly recommend this, what an underrated gem and really needs more hype!

ugh
"I liked the beginning of this drama, even though it tended towards the over wrought and over dramatic. But in the last couple of episodes Lee Shin went from being a great sinister and enigmatic character to just another psycho character with an irritating laugh. The drama feels less like an attempt to tell a compelling story and more like an attempt to play “gotcha” with the audience. "Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Their acting....... and the story is just soo awesome...a must watch drama for curious minds. You'll be making a guess for every scene. Few scenes are predictable if you are master in these kindof dramas.....but most of the scenes are so unpredictable . You'll just fall in love with the show. Do watch it!!.

So Good Had To Review
I had a lot of fun from start to finish. There were endless plot twists and kept me at the edge of my seat for the whole ride in just 12/24 episodes. Even with no romance there was so much chemistry between the leads. I never write reviews but this time it was so good that I had to come here and write one because people are missing out on what I think was the best drama of 2020. The story asks the question "should we accept fate as it is or try to change it? will we be different if we changed it?"A great thrilling watch that is not very dark or horrifying but perfectly thrilling. so it is safe to watch for those who are little bit faint hearted.

Musi: I personally wasn't attracted to the music but some might like it.
Overall:It was a really good drama and its worth your time for people wh1o like mystery and time travel genre.

This is a time travel/crime/mystery show. Generally, there are two types of crime-solving stories. Most stories omit some aspects that can help the audience to figure out who's the bad guy or what is their motives. Some stories even show them. Unfortunately, this series showed us blatant scenes that not happened a few times. This was my main negative take away.
The story is very catching and makes you wonder even going back one year how much your life can be different or not so different. The time travel aspect is not complicated and easy to follow. The main characters were awesome in every aspect. Good acting and meaningful motivations behind their character arcs were the best part of the show. There weren't so many gender tropes and that is a huge plus for me. Even the preconceptions about some characters were reversed in a well-mannered way.
The ending is okay but could have been better. I wish they thought about maybe changing the story and making a second season as long as they had a good story.

This drama was indeed very fun to watch! I am a hopeless romantic and absolutely loves rom-com cliches, but this is one of the very few shows that makes me forget about romance. If anyone out there is a little turned off because of the face that there won't be any romantic scenes, STOP. Seriously, the clever storyline and incredible acting will make up for it.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!
I felt the ending was poignant. Sure, LJH's character went through another reset and saved NJH's character. But going by theories of how parallel universes and time travel work in the universe, there are multiple timelines where Shin Ga Hyung remains dead, along with all the other reset participants. And, out of all the other timelines created, only one existed where the main protagonist was alive. It was definitely bittersweet when Ji Hyung Joo went beyond his efforts to revive his partner and create a new timeline, but I can't get the idea out of my head that the characters I've grown so fondly met such tragic fates multiple times in different universes, and there is nothing that could reverse that.
The only negative thing about this drama was that because there were so many plot twists and the storyline was intricately written, it is quite hard to rewatch it because you don't feel that thrill of 'What's going to happen next!?!?' anymore. If only I could forget everything about this drama just so I could watch it again and feel the thrill once more...
***this is not a kdrama, but when I was watching this, it reminded me so much of the film 'Searching'! I totally recommend this movie if you loved this kdrama. The move 'Searching' has an insane amount of mindblowing plot twists to the point I was gripping the edge of my seat throughout the full duration of being in the movie theatre, and I was unable to trust every single character! It was of the few movies that left me going like '...holy shit'. And a bonus to this is that it has Asian representation (main actor is Korean American I think) in a Holywood film, which I absolutely love!!!

Extremely weak logic and motivations
Although I enjoyed the first couple of episodes, I found the editing and storylines to be really abrupt and jarring. It became really distracting because once you figure out the “trick” the show’s makers are using is trying to fool the audience it actually becomes boring. I really like sci-fi and time travel plot lines but they are the hardest to pull off. One way to make them believable is by actually slowing down and showing why we should invest in each character, good or bad. One brilliant time travel show that shows how it’s done is Kairos. This show, however, kept trying to distract you with plot twist after plot twist. It’s extremely overrated, in my opinion, to to each their own!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
