Is it just a coincidence, or is it fate? A man and a woman meet time and time again over the span of 8 years. Han Yoo Kyung is an aspiring photographer who graduated from college in New York. After a painful breakup from her boyfriend, she travels to Seoul. There, she meets Cha Hyun Oh, a man who aspires to be a dancer. He quit his job in Japan and took an impulsive trip to Korea for 4 days. After sharing some time together, they part ways. But not for long, as Yoo Kyung and Hyun Oh somehow keep encountering each other many times on three different trips and spend 12 nights together. Is there a special meaning behind each time they meet, and will all of this time spent with each other develop into more than an encounter? (Source: AJ at MyDramaList) Edit Translation

Reviews
maybe coincidence ....maybe fate
Instead of running away from something, why not look at it as running towards something else? Did I, deep-dive, into philosophy after watching this? Well, I’m not sure, but that's the thought I had while watching...The drama is not perfect....it need not be ....also if you are complaining about too many coincidences happening....driving it far from reality ....then I have to remind you that it's a drama also this was already mentioned in the synopsis...
Tho there were some elements I skipped through ....but I do that all the time ....so you need not worry ....the drama isn't draggy ...and you won't have any trouble keeping up with its timeline .....
Some stories aren't about a beautiful ending ....it's more about the journey to the end .....it's the same here ... There are multiple stories....which explore many different aspects.... and all of them beautiful in their own way .....talk of dreams....they say you have to work hard ...is it enough to just work hard ...? At times you need to make some decisions you don't want, to keep doing what you love ....is it wrong to do so ...? Is planning the next time being insincere about today's goodbyes....? Is it too late to do what you want...??
The drama talks about all these questions, it looks at things differently and tags you along in the same.....that's what makes it special....every character is uniquely flawed that's what makes them more human and easy to relate to .... just like how people you meet in life have an influence on you the characters influence each other as well ....helping each other deal with problems is maybe a process of finding solace in the world where we're all alone and together at the same time .....
I enjoyed the side characters as much as I enjoyed the main characters....for everyone had their own decision and everyone dealt with the consequences that follow....just like everyone else they'll have to face it ....they are just deciding when and how.... it might look like they were running away but that's not it ...when you look at their side of the story you'll find that they were just trying to make things work for them ...
For people who are still wondering if you should try it or not ....I'd suggest you, try it cuz it has something for everyone...
And here maybe I am bribing you to watch it ....with my favorite quotes from the drama
"You just have to trust yourself, the world will fall for it too..."
"The fact that we can smile at small hopes is the greatest joy..."
"To have the opportunity to be together next time is such a precious thing…
To be able to smile comfortably and talk about the past
To be able to endure today and tomorrow thanks to the person by your side.... having all this is such a blessing"
And at last, lemme tell you that they have shot at really beautiful places...so you're about to be blessed with some beautiful scenery .....and a lot of mixed emotions .....
For me, it was a good experience watching this .....I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did .....and for that you’ll have to try it …..which I hope you do …!!
First the story started with 2 person from diferent continent whose runaway from their shackled reality and tried their best to achive what they want; Han Yoo Kyung for her talent in Photography and Cha Hyunho in Temporare dance which make them met each other again after a long years. Others character have supplemented story like the Soldier and his besfriend's girlfriend which in the end they do truthfully share their feeling, the owner, his son and lover's, Yoo Kyung friend and manager Ban. The struggle with the life which make them runaway and the end they straight their life into the right path. The end just like the screenwriter to do a justice to Han and Cha to pursue their goals (Hyun-ho confrontation with his fiance shown he becomes mature to do what should he did in the past without using his illness and escape from fiance's father grasp; Yoo-kyung confidence and a knowledge of her own talent herself). A real love story which could happened, a very common average. The ending means for both of them started a new life with choices if they coincidentally met to pursue or just become a friend met when travel
The set all the details were same as that timeline, the bus model, phone and what I do amaze how they could gave us a perfect 100% Japanese 20's style. I really like it, the second looks and last looks did show us his maturity side. Shin Hyun-soo did a great job how he deliver his lines, the full energy and light voice 20's, grim and down 30's and an ill deeper mature adult male 33's. Somehow I do mistake him with Choi Daniel when only hear the voices. Han Sunghyeon hair style, fashion and attitude which brought her to potray Yoo-kyung hit the prescription of her character. I love their way to advert Seoul in this drama not too pushy but not too wishy-washy.
BGM and OST sure awesome just like garnish to the wonderful story. Just in some episode?? the audio did not clear and the feeling behind those line undelivered. Great cinematography, every episode have those subtle colours. Hyun-ho solo dance scenes and couple scene are so beautiful. All staffs and actors thank you for do the best when they battling w/ summer.
Btw Cha Hyunho last looks 100% with Fall in Love with Me, Aaron Yan (whatever the issues with gay I still love him).
