The storyline will drag out for a long time. To be honest, I think 16 episodes were too much for this drama to fill. Maybe if it were only 12 episodes, it wouldn't have felt so prolonged. That doesn't mean this drama wasn't good. I am absolutely in love with the aspect of time traveling. Plus, the cinematography was breathtaking. The only thing I found weird throughout the entire series is that nobody on the subway seemed to notice him disappearing and then reappearing out of nowhere.
My favorite actor for this drama would have to be Kang Ki Doong. I think he was the ultimate scene stealer and I just love how his character is like everyone's best friend. I also want to applaud Baek Hyun Jin for his impeccable acting. In all of my years of watching k-dramas, I don't think I've ever hated a character (especially an antagonist) so much in my life. If I had to point out one negative thing, it would be Shin Min Ah's acting. I love you girl, but sometimes you are just too extra for me.
I really wish this drama came with more original soundtracks because then I could've based on ratings on something more. They were your average ballads, nothing more but also nothing less. I would've given them a higher score had they riled up my emotions, however, they failed to do so.
Overall, I think this drama does a good job of answering all of the questions that need to be answered and then leaving the rest for us to figure out ourselves. While they may leave you hanging for a while, I think the end is certainly worth it. For those who are patient enough, I would recommend this drama. Unfortunately, I can't say I'd rewatch this. I think once was enough for me.
With that said,
Llama out.

Worth the watch
I am the type of person that skips the heavy part of drama, still I love watching melodramas. In this drama there is this heavy set feeling of pending doom and even though there is romance but i was not able to enjoy it.STILL I COULDN'T GET MYSELF TO SKIP EVEN ONE MINUTE OF IT. I don't know what kept me going, the thought of skipping didn't even cross my mind. This drama is strangely addicting and you will not be able to stop binge watching it.
The writers did good job of keeping suspense till the very end though it was somewhat predictable that her father would sacrifice himself to save both of them. There were no plot holes left unfulfilled still if her father started time traveling from very early on then he was the mastermind from very start and planned everything so as to save her.

The most pleasant surprise.
[ Original date written: May 31st 2021 ]I was initially confused by how much I enjoyed this because everyone I've seen talk about it has either said it's boring or bad. But for me it wasn't. Not in the slightest. This is one of the most interesting dramas I’ve ever seen. It’s so different from most K-dramas, as it doesn't follow the usual formula I’ve seen oh so many times.
Obviously the cast is great but the STORY the lead characters and the relationship between them are all incredible. It’s got good humour, an interesting and VERY different romance, AND it executes sad tones very well. For instance we'll be in a romcom environment but then our male lead will travel to the future to see something terrible or sad, instantly raising our interest and investment in seeing what becomes of these two.
I was hooked by episode 3. The scene of him going to his death day for the second time and speaking to his future self on the phone, that was when it got me. I thought to myself "Wow. This is going to be incredible." AND IT WAS.
For flaws literally the only thing I have to say is the last episode isn’t very good, though not in terms of no happy ending just in that it seemed pointless. But I find a lot of K-drama’s have bad last episodes the writers probably just don’t know how to wrap things up well.

[Story]
Quite unique story compared to the other time traveling dramas I've watched. At times this drama would confuse me as each episode progresses but it only made sense, well everything was explained in episode 15. So you've got a long way to go before you get there. No skipping! Every episode, I try to guess and make hypothesis in everything that's going on but in the end, the events they show us in the next episode were quite unexpected that it'll blow your mind.
[Acting/Cast]
I gave it an 8 out 10 because Shin Min Ah, my Queen. But I also love Lee Je Hoon, the time traveler expert since Signal. For me, there were fresh faces that I've only seen in this drama so far and I would love to see them in their future projects. Acting wise, it was good. Of course, Shin Min Ah and Lee Je Hoon are both amazing actors so I give them that. Even their chemistry was overflowing. That was actually very unexpected for me because I never imagined them to be paired up together. The other actors were also good and funny. Good job~
[Music]
I've got nothing much to say about their music because it didn't appeal to me much except the last OST they played at the last scene of episode 16. That was nice but if I were to download it, I wouldn't. Don't get me wrong, I love listening to Korean dramas OST but I'll pass with this one. You can try listening to it, we all have different taste anyway. :)

Frustrating
Lee Je-hoon and Shin Min-ah work really well together in this fight against fate, time travelling drama.The plot is pretty good, as dramas involving flitting around time are often messy, but this was quite well thought out.
The characters were ok, but I found constant references to Bap Soon irritating and Song Ma-rin was so needy at times. On the one hand she could be tough and quite arrogant toward So-joon in the early episodes and on the other behaved like a teenager. She also let Gun-sook order her around whilst at other times standing up to her. The character's behaviour was inconsistent.
Aspects of the story were a little too drawn out and given those characters 'in the know', the struggles to change the fate of the main two were not always as sensible as they could have been.
Not a bad watch, although for me, Lee Je-hoon made this drama work.

It's not you, it's me.
I wanted to like this drama. I really did. But, after episode 5, I just couldn't pull through. There is nothing really wrong with it and story as a whole since the purpose has been already introduced to us in the very 1st episode.Yong So Joon, a CEO who has the ability to time travel attempts to alter his future to prevent his death... which coincidentally happens alongside Song Ma Rin, a photographer.
What I found lacking was the balance between characters. We see 80% of the story from So Joon's point of view.
My biggest issue was perhaps with the female lead. It seems as if the writers put all their efforts into delving deeper into making the male lead a mysterious figure.
Song Ma Rin on the other hand reminded me of play dough. Yes, there are hints about her troubles, but for someone who has suffered so much for 30 years, she was one of the most delusional female leads I have seen. Her own evil friend points out that she was overboard with her thoughts and actions.
I did not understand her at all -- she acted cute, revealed her insecurities and that was it. If I'm supposed to sit through 16 episodes, there must be something that is worth it with the characters.
The time travel aspect is alright and the real mystert begins right after episode 5, but I no longer have any interest in finding out what lies ahead. Maybe I'll pick this drama up again someday.

So Joon é um viajante no tempo, ele acabou adquirindo esse "poder" após sobreviver uma acidente de trem onde perdeu seus pais.
Song Ma Ri agora fotógrafa, já foi uma atriz mirim famosa por um papel que interpretou mas que hoje em dia lhe traz muitos problemas, e por casa da situação em que ela vive está sempre nas fofocas de um jornalista.
So Joon acaba salvando Ma Ri de um final trágico por impulso mesmo ele sendo proibido de mexer no futuro das pessoas.
Em uma de suas idas ao futuro ele acaba descobrindo que ele morreria e então acaba se casando com a Ma Ri para mudar seu futuro mesmo sem ter sentimentos por ela(dica de um outro viajante).
No decorrer acabam se apaixonando mas seus segredos acaba sempre causando confusão no seu casamento, além de que em muitos momentos ele foi muito injusto com a Ma Ri.
Apesar do casamento ter sido um plano dele, eles tinham muita química, as cenas deles como casal eram lindas ?
O casal secundário, eu amei eles, eram velhos amigos que acabaram se envolvendo (mas tentam negar a todo custo ?)
O "vilão" é um homem muito louco cara, muito psicopata, que nem a personagem mais chata que casou com ele por dinheiro merecia viver com ele.

No geral um drama bem mediano e nada espetacular eu diria que embora não tenha me deixado tão empolgada no mínimo me deixou intrigada sobre o desfecho dos personagens principais.O que me incomodou foi aquela velha historia muito batida de que "não vou te contar porque quero te proteger" o pior foi que esse comportamento veio de diversos personagens diferentes ao longo da trama: o amigo dele, a mulher dele e o pai dela. Sinceramente, acredito que 90 % das coisas ruins poderiam ter sido evitadas, se eles não tivessem escondido os fatos importantes do protagonista.
O que dizer sobre o protagonista?
Gostei do protagonista mas achei ridículo que mesmo que ele soubesse o que ia acontecer com antecedência, nunca conseguia mudar nada e até agia da mesma forma desastrosa que ele mesmo tinha visto que ia dar errado no final. Isso é um das coisas que mais me irrita em enredos que envolvam viagem no tempo, pra que serve ele ver o futuro se nunca consegue mudar nada no presente? Acho estranho demais isso, porque mesmo sabendo que iria morrer aquele dia em um cruzamento foi pra la mesmo assim? Se ficasse em casa com ela nada teria acontecido.
Totalmente sem sentido o pai dela se sacrificar para salvá-los, era só eles terem bolado algum plano para resolver a questão mas nem isso eles foram capazes de fazer aff....
Nem era como se o vilão fosse super inteligente, muito pelo contrario, ele era muito burro e inconsequente, é subestimar minha inteligência dizer que ele conseguiu fazer tudo aquilo sem ser impedido em momento algum. Que viagem no tempo mais inútil foi essa?
A cena deles se casando em um dia chuvoso em que todos os convidados estavam usando um guarda-chuva e uma cor diferente foi magica, eu diria que foi um dos casamentos mais bonitos que já vi em algum drama.
Sinceramente achava a mocinha muito insegura e fraca, não gostei da personalidade dela e que final mais xoxo foi aquele? eles continuaram na mesma lenga lenga de sempre, foi como se não tivessem amadurecido depois de tudo o que passaram.
Os personagens não me passaram raiva ou me fizeram cair de amores por eles, foram bons na medida do possível e o romance foi bem comunzinho e nada extraordinário, não teve uma cena de beijo maravilhosa ou coisa do tipo, mas também não me desagradou.
Enfim eu não odiei esse dram,a mas também faltou muito para amá-lo, foi só mais um drama comum para passar o tempo, nada mais que isso, infelizmente, ainda bem que acabou rápido, vamos para o próximo.

Ho incominciato questo drama un anno fà, ammetto di averlo interrotto non perché fosse brutto, semplicemente gli episodi sono talmente coinvolgenti da farmi venire la tachicardia ????. L’ho ripreso dopo un anno e devo dire che l’ho amato davvero tanto, il tema dei viaggi del tempo è sviluppato bene anzi meglio di tanti film americani, la crescita dei due personaggi è evidente durante lo svolgimento della storia e se anche Song Ma Rin non ti fa impazzire, nei primi episodi successivamente matura. Uno dei primi episodi, in cui lui la rifiuta brutalmente, senza neanche dirgli il suo nome è un momento terribile in cui pensi proprio che è uno s*****o. L’interpretazione di Lee Je Hoon è bellissima, non si può non amare il personaggio So Yoon, vedere per credere ????. Drama Incantevole, pieno di emozioni e di riflessioni su “vivere il momento”.
