The story I really enjoyed. The concept is good, but as I previously said, it became repetitive. It felt well structured. You couldn't tell what the exact story line was, but you knew what he was going to do. You also never felt what the producers were intending, because you can tell whilst watching it that they need it to run for 16 episodes so it won't just be that easy. Saying that, there are points that are good. One major story point, don't watch if you do not like the thought of a teacher marrying a pupil. 'Coach' was their highschool coach, marrying a pupil. I didn't really like that concept (or the character but thats a different matter), so if I had known that was part of it I would have been put off a bit.
I think overall, the acting and cast were good. Each suited their character very well. I think especially the main two characters. Not more can be said really, there wasn't a problem in that departement.
The music suited the drama well. It wasn't a typical high school cheesy drama, so there was no catchy opening theme tune. However it has good tunes for different scenarios, which helps build the mood for the audience. It also incorporates the music quite nicely with singers and performers. As my boyfriend pointed out to me, they also clearly at some points used a microphone for live singing, which is nice!
However, I don't think I would rewatch it. It is a sweet drama, but it became repetitive, and it got to the point for me where I thought I was watching to just find out, and once knowing the story line I didn't want more. It didn't have a particular spark for me and it didn't seem particularly sweet, just a bit frustrating.
Overall, it was a good drama and I would say to give it a try, but its not amazing and it can get frustrating.

usually we watch the kind of love where a boy confesses when he realises that he's in love. But this was quite different so it grabbed my attention. The Love of two childhood friends and the love for Baseball, was portrayed well.
Kang Baek Ho's (Yoo Seung Ho) intense feelings were prominent through his eyes, but unreachable to the mouth because of his shy nature. Ham yi seul also had her unique charismatic personality that made us watch the whole series. So the acting was amazing.
The way they were so desperate for each other made the audience love their couple. A very unique concept of love. Plus the idea of how someone can't change anything by regretting over the past is captivating.
Major flaw:
what disappointed me was Constant repetition of Baseball scenes and unending regret of kang baek ho. It was interesting in the start, But in the mid it became a torture. I just had to complete the series. No development in characters. No twist. No thrill. The Drama was being DRAGGED to the end.
For Yoo seung ho 's fans, It's okay. For the High rated kdrama lovers, you can't watch it.

A HUGE missed opportunity!
First of all. I only watched this drama because I love Park Eun-bin. If I would live in Korea I would smack the writer on the face. I don't know about others but for me, this was THE most frustrating drama I've EVER watched so far. Not because the two lead are idiots, I watched a lot of drama, even mexican soap opera so the fact that the main couple are just a typical "I love you but I can't be with you for some random and 100% dumb reason." characters didn't bothered me much. But I HATE when someone using time travel to make it more interesting but for the most part it doesn't even matter if he's a traveler or not. Honestly, this drama could've been one of the best with a better writer. Also, can I just say how weird it is that coach knew these guys since they were like 17 and he's obviously MUCH older than Yi Seul and nobody bothered to say anything about this? This is the first drama that I've seen from Eun-bin where her character was written as a typical cliche female character.The OST, the acting was great and that's the only reason why I didn't stopped watching it. It was a long time when I was this angry after watching something. This show should've been a fun time traveling romantic story but in the end I don't there was any character development. Both lead character remained the same.
SPOILER!!!!
Honestly, I hated when they killed off Yi Seul BUT I would liked that ending better (after they dragged out the drama too long for no reason) so the whole time traveling story would make sense or at least would have a real consequence or even keep the amnesia trope with Baek Ho. Also they should've just skip the typical love drama and should've used Baek Ho and Yi Seul relationship more, not to mention Baek Ho's backstory with her family!

Going back and making everything worse
I watched the Japanese original version and loved its premise even though the execution left me wanting for more. I went into this one thinking it could better than the original but something about it just didn't grab me.The idea of having a chance to go back and fix certain key moments in your life. Moments that you only realized were important in hindsight. Of course, that doesn't mean that the thing you're trying to fix won't end up much worse and completely backfire.
The story was good and so was the acting, I think there are some truly emotional moments from the male lead. Unfortunately, I don't think the female lead offered the same type of emotion to the story and to their relationship.
As the story progresses you are in for a frustrating, almost rage-inducing drama. You keep getting more and more wasted chances, more miscommunications, and all sorts of repetitiveness and clichés. To me, this actually hurt the story in the sense that everything started to get more and more insane that you start thinking if all of this is actually worth it. On one hand, if his plans work, then everything is solved and the show ends in a few episodes. On the other hand, he fails and things start repeating over and over, making the main characters seem absolutely idiotic.
If you don't mind frustrating situations and characters and enjoy some cute romantic moments, then this is for you.
