Lacked originality in the story !!

I was eagerly waiting for this drama and successfully avoided all the spoilers. The records this drama broke added to the hype and I got even more excited.
It’s good for a one time watch but I will not sit through 16 episodes to watch it again neither will i recommend it to anyone because I have recommended ppl some really good k-dramas and they have set a high bar.
Now I didn’t entirely dislike the show but there was no originality in the story. I constantly felt like I have watched the same things in some other kdramas. Specifically last episodes felt like copy paste from crash landing on you except the ML took the bullet for the FL and in CLOY the FL took the bullet to save ML in the end. It kept bothering me until I couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t watch the last episode bcz it was soo obvious.
I feel like strong cast couldn’t make up for the weak and incomplete story line. Also there was no intimacy between the main couple like the romance sometimes felt shallow. And there was just too much crying all the time it got me bored.

Unnecessary dragged

The first episode had me hooked but as the show progressed the story became just like any other Kdrama. Don’t know why some scenes and characters reminded me of true beauty. The character tae sung had uncanny resemblance with true beauty’s seo jun. Anyhow i wish there was more depth to the characters as female lead seemed shallow and same with some other characters. The female lead got on my last nerves with her stupid choices. The more chances she gets to go into the past the more dumb and careless she behaves and gets herself in trouble. I do feel bad for sunjae.

I still continued to watch it but Episode 8 is when it all went down. I was okay with the cliches too but episode 8 completely ruined it for me. Time travel become a joke at this point. Even sunjae’s feelings become a joke based on how conveniently Sol expressed her feelings 14 years later and he didn’t ask for an explanation? Like his feelings literally become so irrelevant after this point because no matter what sol does he kept clinging to her like a puppy. I hated to watch her travel back into past again. I wish they had ended the drama at episode 8 where they confessed feelings and got together. THE END but noo the writers had to drag the story even if they have nothing new to add to develop the plot.
I can easily guess what the final episodes are going to be about soo not curious at all.

Too slow

The story had so much potential but what a waste. I literally dragged myself to complete the show but it was boring most of the time. Mostly a show captures users attention in the first episode but here I kept waiting till the 2nd episode to find something that would convince me to watch. I heard about the show so I thought it must be good but nah. It was too slow. Although it does deliver some important messages of self love and all but still I just couldn’t connect with the show that much.
Although I loved seon gyeom‘s character, He was the only character that made me watch the entire show. I liked the way he self reflected on himself. The 2nd lead couple’s chemistry was better than the main lead.
