Coming Back Again (2022)

Note to myself: No te bases siempre en las review para saber si ver algo o no

Antes de empezar a verla cometí el error de venir a leer reseñas para darme una idea de que tan buena era ya que su rating estaba a en 7.7 y no pude haber cometido peor erro que eso, me spoilee mucho de la historia y la empecé creyendo que sería malísima (si aún que leí que no les gustó a muchos aún así decidí verla, porque era algo parecido a Be my favorite que esta en emisión ahorita jaja) bueno pues ni cuenta me daba cuando ya había terminado el episodio y yo me quedaba con ganas de seguir y saber que más pasaba, los disfrute mucho y realmente sentí las emociones de los personajes, personalmente no necesito un final feliz pqra considerar que algo es bueno, como en este caso, yo la volvería a ver una y otra vez cada que quiera llorar jajajaja
Plus: La canción de intro me encantó

Incoherent and irrational, but somehow it dragged me screaming to the finish

The actors did the best they could with a REALLY spotty script. It's... It's not good writing. It's not good plotting. It's not good pacing. The dialogue is passable.

What I don't understand is why the producer or the director or the actors or their agents - why no one forced a rewrite. It's not a coherent screenplay.

I finished it. It's intriguing enough to finish, but it was... it felt like when you eat something despite not liking it because it's so alien, so nearly right but perverted in a direction that doesn't exist in our universe, that you can't stop.

it was upsetting, both good and bad

First, I want to comment on Moon Ji Yong's performance in this, 10/10. This man has rangeeeee, I've seen him in other works like " The new employee" where he was a dorky sweet guy, but in this I felt so many emotions. His character completely drew me into the story so props to him. The story was interesting and I was engaged the entire time, however I won't spoil the ending, I'll just leave it at this...WHY? Anyways, I watched this series earnestly in one go, I enjoyed it and hated it all at the same time, cried a lot, enjoyed the bits of romance, but really wanted to find whoever wrote this and sit in front of their home until they changed everything. The production of the show was fine, nothing fancy but not bad by any means. I enjoyed the OST for the show a lot it was pleasant at the times it was used. Acting from everyone was good, and from Moon Ji Yong it was exceptional. I'll recommend this show for those who like fantastical star-crossed love stories but with a warning, you will wish you could re-write it.

Those last few seconds...

From the premises of this series, I knew it qould be too much for a happy ending. So when it ended the way that it did, I wasn't even mad...until those last few seconds.

Story-7.5/10
This series had me curious to see how it would handle the time travelling concept. As the series progressed, I knew there was no way for a happy ending- one of them would have died. Shin Jae Woo because Kang Ji Hoon wasn't there to save him or Kang Ji Hoon because he saved the then ten years old Shin Jae Woo. As we wnet further into the story, I realized that Kang Ji Hoon was not going to let the small kid died. So, he basically went to save Kang Ji Hoon, knowing fully well he was not going to survive.

But before all of this happened, love blossomed between the two youg gentlemen in the span of three weeks. And I was okay if it had just ended there...but it doesn't. It seems to me that they are in time loop . So, these 3 weeks will continue over and over again qith Kang and Shin having 3 weeks of happiness and then Kang Ji Hoon dying to save ten years old Shin Jae Woo. And that right there, did not sit well with me. If they had stop just a few seconds before this, I would have given the story an 8 or 8.5. But because I know that they will always be in this time loop and not be able to come out of it, I'm giving it a 7.5.

Acting/Cast-8/10
I felt that there acting was actually really good. They were able to bring across thier emotions very well and this made the story enjoyable (at least up to those last few seconds). For that, I'm giving them an 8.

Music-10/10
This has to be one of the best OST from a Korean BL that I have seen in a while. Loved all of the songs. A ten from me.

Rewatch Valu-8/10
Despite those last few seconds at the end of this series, I would actually still rewatch this series. It had me entertained and I actually wanted to see what happened next!

Overall-8.5/10
Overall I give this series an 8.5/10. I liked it. I was entertained. And I just knew that there was no way for a happy ending. I would recommend this series to others- once they are not looking for a happy ending.

Mixed feelings

I do not know how to feel about this. At the same time, it is good but bad too. Mixed feelings. It left me feeling weird, sad, and confused at the same time. The ending is what confused me the most. So, in 16(?) years he will be with him again but he will be like.. 30, and the other male lead will stay the same age? Does not make sense for me. Also, don't know if I'm stupid, but I don't understand how his friend knew who the main lead was. Meaning, he also were with them? How'd that happen though? On the other hand, it is DEVASTATING. And if it happened to me in real life, hell no. I could not do it.

love a good time travel

the story was well done everything from traveling back in time to find a way to save the man who died which made him feel guilty for 15 years. the chemistry of the lead actor is off the charts I really love it. hope they have another drama in the future at a lead couple. the script was well written. it definitely worth a watch.



that only reason I put 5 stars of the rewatch value is I don't think I could watch the ending again this is the most I cried in a BL before and I thought Until me meet again, theroy of love & 1000 stars where sad this is on another level for me.the having to wait 15 years to see each other again and then loses his again is a sad though.

Bittersweet Time travel

I must say I didnt expect much going in to this drama. It was an 8 ep korean Bl with 20 mins per episode, I mean what could they even say in this short runtime? I'll say though, it did exceed my expectations. They made great use of the short runtime to tell a pretty full story. The problem is however, most of the time goes into telling the story and not enough time spent on their relationship building. But to be honest, they did the best with what they were given

The actual premise of the show is good. It's fresh and new in the BL scene. Time travel, fight to save someone that saved you, and romance. My only problem is that, the line between jaewoo seeing him as an uncle and then seeing him as a lover seemed so thin it almost makes it hard to support. Like yea that's your savior from 15 years ago and you look up to him and obsessively blame yourself for what happened, but now (very early on) it's turned into love? hm. Then There's Ji hoon's side, we kinda dont really see a smooth progression from him finding Jaewoo really creepy to somehow taking an interest in this kinda creepy man to falling head over heels for him. It just happens, and then you're like oh okay i guess they like each other.

Once the romance is establish by magic and plot convenience though, the story flows well. The bittersweet sacrifice both of them were willing to make for the person that they loved was heart wrenchingly beautiful. It was a story that was meant to end in tragedy no matter what happened. Someone would always die. And so theres the loop they created. "come see me again" oh beautiful. Now my only thing is it's never explained how Jaewoo got into the past in the first place or how the magic phone worked but yknow what, we'll keep it under the rug. All in all, not a bad drama at all. The music, like many kdramas was great to me, and i did enjoy the acting of the characters.

Great concept, poor delivery

I honestly enjoyed the concept but was disappointed by the delivery. I couldn't help but feel frustrated with both leads for the lack of communication. If they had been more upfront and honest with one another the entire conflict of the BL would have been avoided. There were multiple instances that could have been handled much better by the characters, but each character seemed to veer in the complete opposite direction of reason or logic.

I understand that this was the purpose of this K-Drama. To have one of the leads sacrifice themselves in honour of their love and devotion to the other was the overall goal. It just seemed needless for one of them to die if there was a safer alternative in which they both could live.

Ultimately, it was not a terrible BL, the acting was pretty good and the concept for the plot was fairly engaging. It just was not the style of K-Drama I typically enjoy. I'm sure if you enjoy a bit more of a bittersweet ending with all-or-nothing stakes this is a good BL for you.

Korean BL made me fall in love once again

Korean BL are getting stronger with their short series film.

Well, after reading the synopsis I kinda have a vague picture of what the ending could be given the plot of the story but I still gave the drama a little bit of hope for a fairytale finale. The storyline was great not new but fresh, maybe because of the location and the premise. New faces for casts and that's a plus. There's chemistry and acting wise they're good. Eight Episodes are just enough too many episodes will surely kill the flow so it is fine. Music scoring is good as well. Korean dramas are now starting to use English songs so it's a plus.

Worth the watch? Yes. Will you like it? Depends on your taste. Will watch it again? Possibly yes.

Never Again

Once Again benefitted a lot from the star-making performance of Moon Ji Young but it's muddled storyline, frustrating dialogue and lack of a real stake stands out the most, dragging the entire series down.

The cinematography looks nice but there's really not a lot to work on with this material, but it did work for the little material they were given.

Moon Ji Yong as the main lead was fantastic, he looked very committed and that reflects well on the screen. His facial cues and expressions are very impressive.

As for the storyline, the whole thing was so muddled and confusing. It fails to make the audience pay attention or even care. I finished the series not feeling anything, just indifference. It didn't make me want to care enough for the characters.
