A fun rom-com
You must suspend all notion of reality to really enjoy this time travel fantasy about a girl who wants a do-over to correct past mistakes. This romantic comedy will make you laugh out loud and really appreciate the efforts of the production team, even when the writing gets hard to follow. After so much mental gymnastics trying to follow the numerous timelines, I gave up and decided to just enjoy it.
What I love most about this rom-com is the chemistry between our main leads and the wonderful acting of the entire cast. I am especially impressed with Byeon Woo Sook's performance and feel he is really growing as an actor. The way he looks at his FL is just endearing. That twist from cold to hot had my head spinning. It was a total gotcha moment. Well-played! The supporting cast, particularly Kim Won Hae as Rye Seon Jae's dad, were hilarious and a joy to watch with their antics.
The darker elements used in the writing felt unnecessary, as the writers could have come up with an equally effective way of justifying the time travel without going to such lengths to make the stakes higher. Depression and suicide are dark enough and I think that would have been a sufficient plot device to want to travel back to change the past, all while learning a few things about yourself along the way. The writers, however, chose to make this even darker, giving it Strong Woman Do Bong Soon vibes. This felt too dark for a rom-com, in my opinion. Plot becomes a little hard to follow after subsequent forays into the past and the hasty explanation to it implausible---but it's fantasy so you have to forgive them.
OST is great. Looking forward to adding them to my k-drama hit list. I recommend this one for the fun story and exemplary performances.
