Hit the Top (2017)

The drama started well and I enjoyed watching it for the most part!
I think what bothered me is the fact that the focus of this drama changed after the first half approximately and became 99% focused on the love story. In the beginning Yoo Hyun Tae said that if he traveled to the future there must be a reason, I don't think the reason was to fall in love with some girl...
The music was really nice, be it the free style rap from Lee Ji Hoon or the old songs from J-2, they had a good potential to focus on music and make a story about all the family creating music together. It's a pity it went to waste just to focus on romance
Also I don' really like the female lead personality and I don't see a great chemistry with anyone so I don't think she deserves to end up with any of them.
Regardless it's still a nice drama, just a bit disappointing

If you've watched Shi-Yoon's "YourHonor" Youll deifnitely be reminded how natural and innocent he acts on this drama, i like how the comedy part were made but i hope they had improved its plot and allowed the maximization of the characters. The thought of time travel was not focused unlike other kdramas.

Anyways, it was fun to watch especially the immense character portraying of Woo Seung like how she portrayed Kim Bu Ja in Korean Odyssey. Still a must watch tho.

Hope to see more of Shi-Yoons drama. Though he reminds me of Ji-Soo after seeing the Initial Cover of the drama.

This drama will really hit the top if all characters are maximized. Over all Good :)

This show had all the ingredients of a solid show. Started off with a strong foundation. Introduction of characters was also interesting but as story progressed, it became draggy or rather messy. Instead of love triangle, if they had focussed more on the idols' journey, family and friendships, this would have been an amazing show. Cast was good, the ambience, music was also good. Just that story could have been told better. Things seemed to have lost in a few episodes I enjoyed MJ's journey and all the side characters' journey and would have rather liked to see them more. Their journeys could have been explored more. The show had it's own warm moments but I would skip a lot of scenes if I were to watch it again.

Why Kdrama-land, why?????

I fell in love with Yoon Shi Yoon from Your Honor, I fell in big-time lust with Kim Ming-Jae from Dali/Cocky Prince and Brahms, and who doesn't adore Lee Se Young , especially after Red Sleeve Cuff. Yes, the premise is silly and YSY's acting is over the top, but for the first 3/4th of the series it was silly, over the top kdrama-land fun. And then.....Why writers, WHY??!!?? They totally messed up something awesome with a romance that should have never happened!!!!! YSY's character should have been the catalyst to bring KMY and LSY together, not the other way around! No father, even one in a 23 year old body, makes moves on his son's crush - not cool dramaland!!! I had already invested 11 hours into the drama so I finished it, but each progressive episode got grosser and grosser (for me) as the whole love affair turned my stomach. I'm a kdrama watcher who can re-watch (and re-watch) the love scenes over and over again (Junho and Red Sleeve Cuff, anyone?), but I actually found myself fast-forwarding through the YSY and LSY scenes just to get to the finish line.

In the future dramaland, MORE KMJ and less (for the love of God!) dad's hitting on their son's girl...

Another drama with the time leap thing. Unfortunately, that doesn't work on this one. When the time leap comes up, the drama just can't handle it very well and that resulted to a seriously confusing ending. Other than that, the story was okay, with the leading actor actually supporting the whole drama, even though his chemistry with the girl was so so. The other actors did do well as well, but he was slightly better than them. In addition, the drama had it's funny moments and some stories were interesting to follow for a while, but, at least for me, at some point, the main story got boring, with no actual purpose. So, overall, 6 out of 10.

People who give this high rating must be Mental

I don't get how people can call this beautiful
Father who abandoned his girlfriend after taking advantage of her and his unborn baby and time travel to screw a young girl who is his son's first love
It is gross on same level as OLDBOY atleast that movie called that relationship gross
But this drama is glorify it..

Just imagine if ML had a daughter not son and he fall in love with his own daughter and screw her knowing she is his daughter that would be More beutiful for all those sick people calling this gross shit beutiful
Do you all watch gutter holes and call that beautiful

Yoon Shi Yoon Typecast

I think this is the third drama of Yoon Shi Yoon I've seen where he is typecast as the guy who gets inserted into some people's lives, falls in love with the girl, resists at first, then eventually gives in and takes the girl. This drama is even more similar to FLower Boy Next Door (FBND), in both he somehow gets involved with two people, one with Unrequited Love, tries to help them out, falls for the girl instead, takes him sometime to realize it, finally accepts it and takes the girl. For FBND, it made sense but for this drama it felt kinda forced to me and just wrong. I thought he would eventually get over his feelings and leave the girl for his son, which is the right thing to do, but when I saw the direction they were heading with the story, I felt like I could not watch it anymore. And reading the review pretty much confirms what I suspected. And where I had reached, the story seems to have stalled somehow, some characters have been pushed aside and some plot points have been pushed to the side. I liked Mal Sook's parts, especially with the grandfather and the whole time travel aspect seemed interesting but the whole show stopped being interesting when they tried to ship Hyun Jae and Woo Seung. She clearly implied she liked Ji Hoon too but was only afraid of messing up their friendship since he was all she had as a friend. So I didn't get why he was pushed to the side.

What a mess

So he finds out he is the father and who he had a child with and he barely reacts except for worrying about his genes? Scheming to get the girl his son has been in love with and unconvincingly saying he's trying to help him? Ughh come on. But with all the high scores it's doesn't seem like everyone is as weirded out as I am. I assume it's mainly the ML fans. I thought he was funny at first but then he got annoying. And I do understand we have to suspend reality to enjoy this show but it was harder to do as the series went along. Why would we root for this guy? Did he have any feeling for Bo Hee who is obviously struggling? The Mgr? His own son? Did the love story change throughout the season because it was a jarring change.

I'm a huge Lee Se Young fan but her damsel in distress act got tiresome. What a misuse of a great talent, I'm glad she was able to excel in the Red Sleeve after this debacle. Didn't feel the chemistry with the ML at all. If the creators didn't want her to end up with Ji Hoon, MJ was a much better option that um Ji Hoon's dad. In fact I thought it was a poor decision not to feature MJ and Bona more. They were way more interesting than the ML.

Also really liked Ji Hoon's rap at the showcase early in the season. Why not give him more opportunities? I cared way more about his story than the freeloading, deadbeat partner and dad who also steals the girl he's been in love with for years.

I won't be finishing this as I got to 20, was grossed out about the impending shift and then just read the recaps.

Firstly, I am a Yoon Shi Yoon fan! He is absolutely eye candy in this drama. He is hilarious and cute and i love his acting. I also like all the cast in this drama and i think they did a great job! You can't even think the badder guys are wicked in this drama... so I can't dislike them. The drama starts off really boring and I didn't really get into it until episode 3. But from episode 3 to around 15 or so, it was really cute and funny and you can see the characters building their relationship and the plot unraveling more mysteries. This show has 32 episodes! And somewhere from episode 15 to 27, it is pretty much fillers....  I fast forwarded some episodes because I just really want to know what happens Mr Ddabong... and alllll the fillers in between getting really boring and slow. I think the love story between the main actor and actress is really simple or shallow. The show is funny overall although I think they tried to make the show more funny at the beginning and in the middle it's more romance and slice of life... Then from episode 27 onward, it gets interesting again.  Music-wise, it has a nice theme song, but average at most, and it won't be stuck in your head.  Overall, it's a satisfying drama. The ending was satisfying enough, and I can't get Yoon Shi Yoon out of my mind now, but I won't rewatch this drama because the story is too slow paced for me and the romance isn't that great.

I really enjoyed this drama throughout. Lots and lots of laugh out loud moments from Yoon Shi Yoon's excellent portrayal of the character who travels forward in time and finds himself quite outdated.

The main love line was cute. To me I didn't see that much chemistry but had good dialogue.

I was satisfied by the ending and how the wrap up resolved the time traveling aspect.

Also another thing to note is that there were no villains in the show. The quasi-villain/antagonist in retrospect was quite cute in how he was portrayed.

After watching this show, it made me want to watch more shows about the k-entertainment industry!
