The story of "In Time With You" is so simple and you can even say overused because it's the typical I'm-in-love-with-my-best-friend-but-I-can't-because-it-would-ruin-our-friendship. Yup, that kind of story and nope, I didn't spoil you. It is because the drama was not trying hard to be anything else but show the reality. I didn't know much about Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen's acting skills before coming into this drama but while watching this, I could totally understand how they were able to win the best actress and best actor award, respectively. The roles that they played as Cheng You Qing and Li Da Ren would make you feel like you were actually in their scenes because they would make you feel that it was all real. Many people frowned upon the arrogance and obliviousness of You Qing and also Da Ren's role as a doormat and punching bag but I felt that their characters were still perfectly developed and necessary to the story. Unlike most of the other TW-dramas that I've watched, this one did not have annoying or unnecessary side stories because everything just helped in moving the story well and also the fact that the supporting characters played their roles well.
While typing this review, I'm listening to the OST of this drama because all of the songs used were just so beautiful and appropriate for the scenes. "I Still Am" by William Wei as the opening song is probably one of the best opening songs that I've ever heard in a Taiwanese drama. The leads also contributed to the beauty of the soundtrack with Ariel Lin who sang the ending song called "Wings" while Bolin Chen sang "I Probably Won't Love You" as an insert song. There were also two beautiful insert songs entitled "Revolving Door" and "Tiptoe Love" respectively.
I saw how most of the people recommended this TW-drama for those who are not looking for something light. However, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who simply just wants to watch something beautiful in the most realistic way possible. I would also like to praise the director (who also won best director) who used such a simple story into a drama which was artistically and excellently done. I'm generally not a fan of rewatching anything unless it's really really good but this definitely fit the criteria! My tears were just effortlessly flowing while watching this drama and my eyes were literally glued to the screen because I really felt that I was part of the emotional journey of the characters. Overall, I really think that this is a must-watch TW-drama. Having watched a few really great ones (e.g. Autumn's Concerto, Meteor Garden), it made me wonder if I would be able to find another drama that could make me feel overly emotional and amazed with its beauty and "In Time With You" is definitely one of those dramas now.

And unlike what the initial episodes led me to believe, it was fun. It bothered me that they immediately cut off and resolved Enrique's issues with his so called first love from the get go,among other questionable things. Can't exactly compare it to the webtoon since I haven't read it but it felt rushed in some parts despite the enjoyable cast. I really wished Watanabe-san had more screentime though.
The romance is lighthearted for the lack of better word. The way Go Dok Mi (Park Shin hye) made faces that broadcasted her thoughts to Enrique Geum is hilarious. All in all, I love Yoon Shi Yoon's portrayal of the childish but lovable Enrique Geum who offends people on a daily basis and Park Shin hye for making me focus on the social recluse Dok Mi instead of her real life image.The supporting cast, from the overworked and sleep deprived editor to the apartment's security guard, also helped a lot in the decision to not drop this.
The music is fun, I especially love Romantic Punch's Ready Merry Go! since it suited the drama's overall atmosphere. Special mention to Lee Jung's Wish It Was You.
Rewatched value? For Enrique Geum, maybe a five. I just love this forever smiling self proclaimed genius.
Overall, Flower Boy Next Door is exactly what it says on the tin. Though unlike its predecessors, I prefer this particular Flower Boy drama the most.

But despite my grumbling and complaints, I finished it. And ohh boy, it might be a misplaced melodrama disguised as a romcom yet I was fascinated. I think the fact that it was outright discussing the topic of depression and mental disorders that made me want to stay. Because South Korea doesnt seem to acknowledge it, being a country with an astonishing high rate of suicide victims. Kudos to the writer.
I can see why Mr.Arrogant (Kim Jaewon) picked this up, Seo Jae hee is definitely a role that will suit him. It's unfortunate that he experienced a serious accident and was unable to continue.
Yoon shi yoon, despite being the replacement actor, certainly pulled off the arrogant swagger well enough. Acting out Flat Out Broke characters seems to be his specialty so the other character's reaction towards his unexpected wealth are believable. Seo Jae Hee is a different kind of jerk from the cheerful Enrique and the innocent Tak Goo, so I was able to gradually distinguish them once the character's back story was cemented.
The characters' friction from the get go truly made me wonder why they didn't make this into a melodrama. They all get into each other's nerves.
The music have some good ones like B2ST's Dreaming that is quite the sexy backing track for Seo Jae hee and that song that plays whenever something happens that made Officer Cha sad and hurt.
Rewatched value? Do I want to feel this frustration again? Who knows. It's 50/50.
Overall, my opinion still stands. They're not flowers but weeds! If you're looking for a feel good romcom drama, turn back and watch Yoon Shi Yoon's other drama Flower Boy Next Door instead.

Secondly, the casts! Okay, shall I say that Nam Joohyuk acting was slightly awkward in the show... Well at least to me. But I can see the acting potential in Sungjae! He is really really good in expressing his emotions - I just love his character so so so much in this drama. Kim So Hyun's acting is totally jjang - she could portray two different roles together perfectly!!! The actress playing as the big bully is another one I would like to praise because she can really make us hate her so much HAHAHA!
And yes! The soundtracks in this show! I love basically all the OSTs in the drama especially Reset! Just give you chills and excitement whenever Reset is being played!
WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT THIS DRAMA: I just don't like how they keep revolving around Kang So Young and the twins. Like how she just keep wanting to find out the truth, ohgosh such a boreeee. And I can notice some loopholes in this show too.
Really one of the top shows in 2015 I would like to recommend! WARNING: You may suffer from second male lead withdrawal syndrome after watching it ):

This drama is amazing. I don't even want to write a big review, cause I don't need to. It was pretty much perfect.
The one thing I'd change is the ending, I wasn't rooting for the guy who ended up getting the girl... Don't get me wrong, I adore him, but it just felt forced to me!
But oh well, that's honestly the least for me!
The story, the acting, the emotions and the subjects of this drama where all on point!
Simply loved it.

I gave a 10 for the cast because of so many tears they shed during the drama. The comedic supporting roles which I find cuter than the lead's chemistry. Lastly, I hated the female lead because of the confusion she created which greatly affected me (that means she's a great actress).
Te music was able to support the scenes and characters.

The story is not a creative one ( anyway it is based on real story). It SEEMS a bit boring, a girl fall in love with a boy, then they break up. Finally the girl finds out that the boy break up with her cos he suffers from caner. I would say this kind of storyline is a typical Korean drama in 2000. But the thing is ----this story is REAL. Therefore, there are many details included in the drama which moves you. Just feel how much do they love each other. And how they suffer from the cruelty of reality.
A really touching piece. As I say, the plot would not be very dramatic and creative, just try to feel the sorrow and helpless throughout the movie. Feel the emotions of the characters. then you would definitely fall in love with Koizora.

Marathoned this series.
Of course it was slow and boring at times, and I didn't really like the side characters romance because it quite annoyed me a bit. Except for that japanese guy, that guy was awesome. Anyway, it's still worth the the slow parts, also because of how lovely the actors are, especially the main girl!
