This drama was so disappointing
this was so disappointing….i really wanted to like this, like staying up till 3am, that’s how badly I wanted to like this, but once again it tells a story that everybody’s familiar with– ML is rich, FL is poor, ML abuses the FL, realizes he has a conscience, falls in love with her, apologizes, goes back to abusing her, and the cycle never fucking ends. idk why dramas like romanticizing abuse like this, but it’s disgusting and disgraceful. FL really deserved better then this, and I don’t have the patience for a show so predictable.Was this review helpful to you?
The drama was filled with despair, negativity, hardship, sadness, distress, and backstabbing. It was amazing! The bad guys were good, too. I still remember her fiancé having a cute looking face but he cheated on her when she needed him most. I just can't accept the fact that I know the drama wasn't supposed to end this way?
All I can say is that Kim Jong Hyun drawing the character so well was disgusting, but then he became a man of honor! I like how he simply can't be honest with Ji Hyun about how he feels. He never said he loved her or fell in love with her. He just said that he wanted to see her, that he was thinking about her and he didn't want to be unhappy but....
For me, this drama died after what happened to Ji Hyun? He was such a sweetheart... so cute even when he was treating her. It was so sad what happened to him!! He deserves to be happy during his last few moments at least.
This drama teaches us how to spend time with people who are valuable to us, how to respect someone who is gone, and how to overcome regrets in the past.
But the only thing I know when you want to hurt your heart you should watch this drama you will feel a great deal of pain.

JUST SOOOO SAD!!!
So as you can see, I dropped this show. There was a VERY BIG REASON WHY I DID IT...which will be explained below in the Story/Cast section of this review. But yes I did drop this drama.STORY: Overall, the story wasn't bad. It had great elements and had A LOT OF MYSTERY to it which kept it interesting...The one thing that contributed to me dropping this drama is THE STORY WAS JUST SO SAD!! I knew entering this drama that it would be (don't get me wrong). You read the synopsis and know that it falls under the category of melodrama...BUT HOW MUCH SADNESS CAN ONE PERSON TAKE IN THEIR LIFE!? The writers just piled sadness and heartbreak onto Seo Hyun's character..so much so that iT sort of became unrealistic because I started thinking REALLY?! This is a major reason why I dropped this drama.
CAST: The other MAIN reason I dropped this drama was because Kim Jung Hyun had to drop out of the drama and get healthy (FOR ALL GOOD REASONS OBVIOUSLY). He was a major reason I was watching and enjoying this drama. He is AMAZING in this drama. His acting is unbelievable! This role was made for him. SO to hear that he had to leave early which would affect the storyline, I just couldn't finish the drama. The other actors were doing great too but for me, Kim Jung Hyun was THE ACTOR for me in this drama. I can't wait for him to get better and to see him in another drama because HE IS AMAZING AT WHAT HE DOES! To know that he wasn't going to be at the end of the drama and there would be episodes without him and that the writers probably had to change the ending because of him leaving, I just couldn't make myself finish it.
MUSIC: Don't remember much about the music
RE-WATCH: I will not try and finish this drama
OVERALL: If you are looking for a good drama with AMAZING ACTING and just crushingly sad...WATCH THIS DRAMA! I just could not finish it and usually I am fine with sad dramas and mysteries. The acting was AMAZING and the story was really building up to be good but IT WAS JUST SO SAD! Kim Jung Hyun leaving was the final straw for me. I hope he gets better soon because HIS ACTING IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Time is a drama that deals heavily with the weight and importance of time, and really questions one's own use of time itself.
Spoken through a gripping story filled with love, betrayal, and death - the story deals with 4 characters, who's own unique stories intertwines in unfortunate fate.
While it appears as if the antagonist is clear from the get go, the audience is given a chance to sympathise with each character, and it seems as if goes much deeper than just what appears on surface level. The flow of time, individual circumstances, and events, things that are for the most part, uncontrollable, appears to be the ultimate culprit at the end of the day.
The acting is, for the most part, spectacular.
Kim Jung Hyun has capitalised on this chance as main lead, and has absolutely hushed critics since his little fiasco at the presscon. He portrays his loud, obnoxious, persona perfectly while also managing to capture the most tiniest details of warming up to his kinder self.
Seohyun was a pleasant surprise for me. Critiqued negatively since day one of acting, I honestly didn't expect much from her, but she captured her role quite well. There were obviously a few kinks here and there, and some scenes that could definitely be improved (especially one particular scene in episode 6...), but for the most part, she pulled it off okay in my opinion.
The side roles in Kim Joon Han and Hwang Seung Un are stellar as seen in past roles, and they capture their more darker parts well. Both filled with guilt and faced with dire choices to make, their struggle to fight their inner conflicts are highlights within the drama.
Music is generally quite good. Unfortunately, it's not quite memorable - which was why I gave it the score that I did.
Definitely flying under the radar at the moment as dramas like Mr Sunshine and Life have stolen the spotlight - but this drama is on equal footing to the two at the very least. The actors while good, are newer and not well known, but don't let the lack in popularity dissuade you from giving this one a try. They are shorter episodes, and may be a little different from what we are used to, but it is definitely worth the watch.

I recommend to watch, because characters and the story both perfect. It is a sorrowful, dismal, distressed story about his life embracing it around with love, troth, expectancy and hope. I am be holden I can translating Time. Nobody be sorrowful by this dreadful, awe inspiring drama it can show us which way is the best for living. To me, even I saw only ep 08 yet, this series is definitely 10/10!

Kim Jung Hyun who plays Cheon Soo Ho, him playing this character is a little different from the last SKDrama I have seen him play. He has the eyes I like with his long eyelashes. I don't know if I feel bad for him or the character he is playing you will need to watch as to why I feel this way. The Character Cheon Soo Chul is Cheon Soo Ho's half-brother and the writer made him such a Sick Jerk. I want to slap this actor's character who angered me! The reality is the Director picked the right person to play the half-brother, Kim Joon Han, who looks the part. Seo Hyun who plays Seol Ji Hyun, I wasn't fixed on this character unit episode 18, then Ms. Hyun started acting her part. I hated her character after that! I don't the basis of this story everyone was moping... except those who were trying to cover it things up. The main leads are the only ones that carried this story. You all may like this kind of drama... it just amazes me how several people will cover up a murder to cause more murders. I just want to drop this KDrama... but I will deal with it because of Kim Jung Hyun.
You do what you do...

Pretty people and great clothes... Story & acting, meh.
I watched this series bc of the reported drama with Kim Jung Hyun involving his controlling ex-girlfriend and her demanding "no skinship" and him making the writers rework scenes, then quitting before filming was completed. (He did go get MH treatment and returned in one form for CLOY and Mr. Queen -- a testimony to seeking MH care!)You can see how his acting worsens over series, particularly as his character is supposed to soften and instead seems even more stilted in posture, not matching the words in the script. Killing him off from the GBM when he quit was probably a better story line in the end. (Note: Medical info on brain tumor was accurate.) FL's drastic personality change is not believable and makes her unlikeable; she's awful when she whines to her BFF that ML was the last person she could trust... um, what about this friend who moved in with you and has done nothing but support you?? 2nd ML is only truly complex character and I watched to the end to see what would happen with him (but I'm not sure that was worth the time invested TBH).
Underutilization of secondary cast. Noting amusing. No heartstrings pulled. However- costumer did well.

Its my first time writing a review, but i hope it wil be helpful.
I picked this one because the story seemed interesting, wich it is, its a dark drama emotional, sad and meaningfull. No suspense we know who the bad guys are and we know whatever they did but the good characters are stil looking for the truth, so let them do their thing. The chemistry is nice and we have a handsome and very sweet male lead, his personality is most attractive. Some did a good job at acting some little less, stil VERY watchable! The story is good, there is one line that is quite obvious but still we need to remember. (Why do you think we live? To be happy), some will find it not worth mentioning, but i think we stil do waste our time on negativeness and feeling bad for ourselves, while we still have the choice to be happy if we want. Nothing and no one can take that away, expect of ourselves, we need to live life more fully and enjoy the little beautiful things, whe don't know how much time we have left. So let us not be regretfull the time we have is ours, so we choose how to live it. And this drama lets you think about that precious time. Thats what i loved about this drama, So yeah its a good drama, its still airing so i believe it only can get better! Try it out. And Every one has a different taste, i can only speak for myself. And hey! Be happy.

Time tem 32 episódios de aproximadamente 30 minutos e a divisão destes episódios dá uma sensação de que são 3 dramas diferentes ao mesmo tempo. Vou tentar explicar:
- Durante os primeiros 10 ou 12 episódios o desenrolar da história me fez pensar que seria um drama de romance bem clichêzinho.
- Nos próximos dez episódios a história tem uma reviravolta que me fez quase abandoná-lo, a cena muda o tom completamente.
- Nos últimos episódios temos uma nova reviravolta que despertou novamente meu interesse.
De concreto, o que posso dizer é que o enredo sempre trás uma nova armação para a trama que acaba se enrolando na trama anterior e vira uma bola de neve gigante. Pelo menos posso dizer que nenhum personagem foi abandonado ao léu no final, todos tiveram um desfecho bem explicado.
Quanto as atuações: ninguém foi tão bem como o Kim Jung Hyun, algumas cenas o permitiram mostrar um talento que eu ainda não tinha visto em nenhum dos dramas que assisti com ele e eu gostei muito disso, espero que no futuro ele consiga papéis fora da comédia romântica que o deixe mostrar mais este lado.
Resumindo: Eu não achei um drama ruim, mas também não achei um bom drama, é um drama "estranho" para mim e muito difícil de classificar kkk.

Me ha encantado la evolución de Chae A, porque a pesar de todo, ha elegido apoyarlo. Pese a todo lo que han pasado y que él no ha pensado mucho en ella desde el inicio. Ella es hermosa, fuerte y rica. Está pagando por lo que hizo en un momento de ira, de rabia, porque realmente tenía razón para molestarse. No la culpo, fue una reacción normal. Y ella no pidió que la encubrieran, el abogado actuó por sí solo.
Y aunque él, me ha llano de rabia durante los capítulos, su motivo también fue válido. Él quería evitar una guerra que Ji Hyun no iba a poder ganar, pero le salió todo lo contrario.
Y ese final... /lloro.
Me han sacado las lágrimas el capítulo 23 y 24, porque sé que ese 0.1 no será suficiente. Pero jamás me esperé que lo hicieran así.
De verdad, uno de los mejores que he visto en este año. Tiene una trama novedosa, con muchísima intriga, que hace querer jalarte el cabello al no saber que va a pasar. Con personajes que no dejan de sorprenderte y evolucionar. Ya en la parte final de la historia nos encontramos con tantas cosas, la verdadera esencia de lo que quiere trasmitir el drama, porque muestran la parte oscura de la ley, la que se puede comprar y forzar a tu conveniencia con dinero. Porque es falso decir que siempre gana la justicia, que siempre prevalece la verdad. Hay tantos casos como estos, que quedan en el fondo, que no importa cuanto grites y llores simplemente eres ignorado. Porque no es un sistema perfecto, y porque nuestra sociedad está carcomida, por la avaricia, por el dinero, por el poder.
Ese capítulo final muestra, más allá de justicia, que las personas pueden cambiar y que son LAS PERSONAS las que hacen el cambio. La diferencia. Chae A decide no ser como los demás, decide dar un paso hacia la luz, porque la oscuridad la estaba tragando. Porque al perder a alguien importante en su vida se dio cuenta de lo mucho que había sufrido desde el inicio Ji Hyun. Pero, sinceramente, el que más me sorprendió fue Min Suk, no esperaba que hiciera eso. Y él fue el que puso el punto final, si no hubiese aparecido, todo se hubiese ido al traste, hubiese pasado como un vídeo montado y ya, todos impunes.
Me gustó muchísimo en general, aunque quería a matar a Ji Hyun, porque siento que desperdició por completo la vida de Soo Hoo y sus desplantes me mataban de la arrechera literalmente, pero, él cambió, tampoco es que era una manzana de oro. Él sintió culpa y buscó cambiar, y hasta el último minuto luchó por ello. Mientras que su papá... que tristeza, ¿no? Cómo se aferran hasta el final pese a que incluso le costó la vida de su hijo, y hay personas que son así, con el corazón completamente negro.

Excelente
Vi muchas opiniones sobre el final el cambio de trama al protagonista irse de el drama, en mi opinión estuvo muy bien redactado luego que el se fue. Lo único que se fue por accidente no por su enfermedad, que los que tenemos conocimiento en dicha condición sabemos que no es posible sobrevivir a la misma ya que es una condición por etapas y si es descubierta cómo la de el es muy difícil y casi imposible que sobreviva, no llegaron a culminar con eso. Por lo das el final excelente muy real ya que ella encontró lo que buscaba y se dió cuenta de lo que el era para ella, por el ella termino buscando la verdad y continuando con su vida. para tiene 10+Was this review helpful to you?
