LOVED HOW IT STARTED BUT DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ENDING
I love fantasy/ Sci-fi/ Time travel dramas. Right from the beginning I got this feeling that when it comes to fantasy dramas, Korean dramas always excels. This story was interesting bcz it involved time travel to save his saviour. But, by the end we see that the whole point of the story was only to deal with his past trauma and guilty feeling. Honestly, I don't like this concept. I don't think that knowing that the person we loved and who loved us, willingly sacrificed their life for us would be less painful. Even though they want us to live a good life, and even if we try to do so, the pain will never fade. Thank god it has an open ending. It's kinda confusing how again after more 15 years Ji woo still looks the same. I mean is he the 25 years old self after 15 more years or is he 40 years now? Idk. Anyways, I hope we have a season 2 where they'll be more clever and find a way to save themselves rather than willingly sacrificing themselves.I don't like sad ending dramas. I mean it's an open ending but still I feel like the story was insufficient. There should've been more to it. So will not prefer to re-watch.
Acting of both MLs were fine. However, it was like he still behaved like a kid with him though he was a grown up man now. I was fine with it though.

How many episodes did I cry? I don't even remember, for sure more than 3 episodes of this series succeed make me shed my tears. But yeah, that's enough. There were a lot of ambiguity that makes me unable to give more stars to this series. I like seeing them together, I fell in love with their acting but I felt the story revolved around the place with a lack of elaboration of the conflict seems to be the weak point of this series.

A must watch
I loved this drama. the story was well put together. I think the ending left some a little confused tho so I just want to clarify. It's a infinite time loop. Ji Hoon dies, causing trauma to little Jae Woo, which sets into motion all the events that inevitably lead to Ji Hoons death. If Jae Woo had not returned to save Ji Hoon, Ji Hoon wouldn't have died because the only reason Ji Hoon knew to go out to save little Jae Woo was because of the actions of older Jae Woo while he was there. Confused yet? lol So at the end in Ji Hoons letter he says "return to me in 15 years, then another 15 years", what he's saying is he'd sacrifice his life forever so he can have the chance to love Jae Woo. A beautiful story.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Destroyed me!
I'm such a mess after watching this I can't even write a coherent review. It devastated me. But it was so beautiful and so well done I have to say something, so here I go:Brilliant soundtrack. I'm still listening to it on repeat. And it wasn't just that the music was amazing (though it was amazing all on its own) but there also seemed to have been a lot of effort put into making it work with the show, and the whole show sounded good altogether... that doesn't make any sense, but I swear the whole show just sounded good. I guess that's part of the production value? Anyway, it was brilliant.
The story... Well. I hate sad stories. I don't like crying, I don't like feeling miserable, I just don't like sad stories. But this story is just so good, so beautiful, so wonderfully told... it won me over and I kinda hate it for that, but I am in awe of this drama. Even if I have a headache from all the crying. It's a love story that is just so big, so beyond this world, I can't not adore it.
The characters were believable and really felt like real people. The acting was amazing. The casting was perfect. I believed what I was watching.
There's probably more to say but I just can't think. It melted my brain.
I hate to put the re-watch value so low, because I feel like that misrepresents how brilliant the show is. It's like a fairytale. But I definitely can't go through this often. It cuts too deep. But it's a brilliant show.

Slow
This series has only eight episodes, so when I completed two of them and realized that I am not even a little interested, I decided that it was time to drop it.If I had to describe Once Again with one word, it would be slow. The characters walk and speak slowly. The plot progresses slowly. The episodes pass slowly.
The screentime could have been cut in half and no important scenes would have been lost. For instance, a substantial part of episode two shows what the viewers already saw in episode one.
The phlegmatic mood makes all the characters seem lifeless, like NPCs from a game. Kang Ji Hoon is the closest, in behavior and facial expressions, to being a real person. I liked him because he is kind. However, the script requires him to do things that do not make sense, such as taking a child to his dorm for the night despite knowing that the child's mother will come home in the morning and probably panic when she realizes that her son is missing.
Overall, although this series has an interesting premise and great OSTs, it suffers from bad execution.

This one caught off guard
As a fan of shows of different genres and made by different countries I can know upfront what kind of show I am getting into when I see the title, the actors and the country of origin. If I am being honest, when I saw this title I created no expectations, because after Color Rush 2, Oh! Boarding House, and First Love Again, my skin is burned. But, the first episode of Once again I have to say is very good: slow at first, but when the “coin drops” it drops for good (if you did watch the episode I am sure that you can pin point this moment). I didn’t know Moon Ji Yong (as Shin Woo) but I was with him, feeling like him, anguished. When Lee Hyundai Jun (as Kang Jo Hoon) said to his friend “I don’t even remember the last time someone said that they loved me”, I could feel what he meant.I have to admit I was impressed at some points with how solid the editing is.
The music is an important strong point in this show. But I can’t Shazam anything out of it?
After 2 episodes I am hopeful about this story and these two…

Don't waste your time
I don't know why they created this as the blurb is accurate but was expecting so much more. In the first episode, it isn't clear the main character is just boring and his looks are just all wrong. I skipped most of it as I just couldn't endure it. Maybe it gets better in the next few dramas but I watched a few Korean bls as they can't seem to get it right. The whole going back home after 15 years. I get it not wanting to face the memories yet they are grown up now but that makes little sense. What was the peter pan tin all about as it hadn't shown yet and that was the only decent idea thrown it with messsEsta resenha foi útil para você?
