Kindred To A Time Called Us!
January 2024
07th/8th
I liked ALMOST everything about this drama except:
a: The casting of one of the main female leads despite the fact she has always been amazing in other drama series. Had always hoped to see her in a main role - just not as a high school student.
b: The music on the most part is okay - maybe just a few songs were better than okay. Really loved the bass and guitar battle! I was really hoping for music that stays with you for a long time after - nope!
c: Didn't appreciate Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" song referred to as a "chick magnet" - like it is a "romantic love song" or something.
It could be that the translation was incorrect and hoping that is the case.
It isn't a love song in the sense that someone's heart is broken by someone else (romance) - it is a song about the loss of someone deeply loved (Clapton's son) and them being in heaven.
d: The son in 1995 (from 2023) should have spent more time with his mother rather than the girl from 2023 - there were times she really could have done with his intervention and he just wasn't there.
Even his "dad" more so than the 2023 teen female, but I do get that they were both there for a reason.
What I did LIKE:
a: Seeing what would happen and develop between the "mother and father " in 1995 more so than the 2023 teens.
b: The bromance and friendships.
c: The story with it being similar to "A Time Called Us" with the time travel and trying to change the past to save someone in the future or future for the better only "Twinkling Watermelon" wasn't as dark.
Highly recommended! A+
