Passable

Jeon Yeo Been is an amazing actress, the switch between Min Ju and Ju Hee is amazing so much so that I was able to recognize which character she was just by her eyes. Ahn Hyo Seop was good especially in Episode 11.
overall story is meh, but the characters are good ( sometimes). The first 2 episodes are snoozefest, it gets better in the middle but starts going down when they start explaining their time travel mechanics, as there are numerous plot holes and a bunch of unnecessary stuff. Still the ending message was good alingwith the final plot twist.
Ok watch. Don't really recommend it. Watch it if you're a fan of Jeon Yeo Been.

Close to being a masterpiece

The show had an interesting premise, the Gwangju uprising, which is so intriguing it'll require a few Google searches to fully understand what and why this was important. For that an A+ to the show great way to spread awareness. Acting by the cast, fantastic, even the child actors were great. Specially Lee Do Hyun, the guy can is just amazing...his love for Go Min Si's character was very evident, and heartwarming, traumatic events were beautifully shown by him as well as the funny and quipped scenes, just awesome. Go Min Si was good but not on par with Lee Do Hyun, the chemistry from her side lacked and often required the story to show an alternate perspective through which the audience was made to realise that she did love the ML(-0.5). Then there are the SML and SFL who are just if not to create problems are just there for the sake of being there. The show introduces us to the uprising via SFL who seems the most distant from the cause, you never learn her motivation for the protest and only cause more problems in the main characters life unknowingly and the SML would have been tolerable if stayed as the oblivious moron but he too out of jealousy ended up creating more problems like ffs they are more annoying than the Villain of the show.(-1)
The show probably wanted to make people realise how innocent people who had nothing to do with the Uprising were caught in the crossfire but they shouldn't have then made it a core characteristic of the SFL, because by the end of the show that's how anyone will know her.
Had a lot of potential though, the show started a lot of good story points which were either never addressed or were just brought to the conclusion very easily, one such point was the FL and SFL with the past trauma they had.

Its a good experience anyway, tells the viewers about the brutality under the military that South Korea had to go through in 1980, the number of people who died meaningless deaths and how that even now they will not have to face justice because that's how the real world is.

sorry for the long rant. Thanks for reading. See you later?✌️

Great story all over, however the villain didn't work. Set up as a terror inducing person felt short when it actually came in front of us. However what was important is the fact that the characters had their own demons to fight and what seemed alright at the first glance might not be the real picture was delivered properly.
The side couple was not really good, loved the main couple more and would've liked if they spent more wholesome and light hearted moments.
OST is good and compliments the story well.
Amazing use of Visual FX, really brought life to the fairy-tales.

All in all, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
