Read my Review

Although I absolutely love the two leads, I totally understand why this drama got dismal ratings. It was a slow drama. The script spend too much time on the male lead obsessing over his unrequited love of a married woman with a zero chance, followed by more timewasting by the two leads obsessing of of the now dead unrequited love with now a minus zero chance. By the time they finally got to the burgeoning relationship of the two leads, of course we had lost interest. And then to top it off, the female lead gets manipulated by a talking device and makes foolish decision. This drama went downhill very slowly.

Since they were already downhill, they could have squeezed in one more episode and ended it properly.

There was a good script and storyline, but bad execution. I watched all12 episodes because I was really hoping things would change, clearly not.

Watch for yourself and then decide

I don't normally write reviews but I felt compelled to do so after reading all the negative feedback and criticism on this Series. I hesitated watching this drama because of all the reviews. They were so in your face, with all these screaming negative headlines, I was practically forced to read them. However, I should have kept my usual stance, which is never to judge something based on reviews. Peoples opinons are subjective and based on whether they liked something or not. In fact I don't read reviews before watching. I read them after.

Back to the drama, I totally and thoroughly enjoyed this drama. I watched in two sittings and it would have been one sitting had it not been that I still had to work the next day. Within the first episode, and probably 20 minutes into it, I had to stop and rewind. I was riveted.

I get why there was so much negativity and criticism. People simply did not understand the storyline. If you did not fully grasp and understand the two worlds within the first episode, you were never going to understand the drama. You needed to be awake from Episode 1, to realise each time we switched worlds. But because people were not, they got lost in Episode 1 and stayed lost for the entire 16 episodes. The result of that was all the negativity around this drama. You were all expecting A, but you got B instead, and you simply couldn't handle it.

Did the viewers really expect to be told each time we switched worlds? It was pretty obvious which world we were in.

So from an overseas viewer, on the African continent, reliant on english subtitles, this was a great drama. Totally enjoyable and not the usual. Being an avid Korean drama, and Chinese, and Taiwan, and Thailand drama fan, I have watched some really lucklustre drama, where I have fast forwarded through most of it just to get to the end.

Excellent Drama - Must Watch

I totally, totally loved this drama. Took me quite a long time to watch, but this is what happens when you are spoiled for choices - one just can't make up ones mind on what to watch. I settled on this one simply because it was only 12 episodes and I thought I could watch all 12 in two sittings - took me three. Unfortunately work calls.

The storyline was great and it flowed. I loved the back and forth between the worlds and how it explained where they came from and how they got where they were. The characters were excellent and this drama was quite hilarious. Did a lot of rewinding because I found quite a few parts funny as hell.

I enjoy the music from these dramas and have purchased a lot of the soundtracks due to this. However, I was so engrossed in this drama that I really didn't hear the music.

Do yourself a favour and watch this dram - it is more than worth your time.

I was Captivated!!!

I think all reviews should always start with "Personally, I hated or I loved".

Reading the low reviews, one would think this was a horrible drama. Quite the opposite. I absolutely loved this drama (and I don't like historical drama - at all). I was captivated from Episode 1 through to 16. I would have watched in one sitting, had it been possible. I would recommend you watch it and decide for yourself. If it's not your cuppa tea, that's cool. On to the next. Don't base your decision on somebody's else's preference.

I loved the cast, the storyline, the pace and the music, the music - absolutely beautiful. Purchased the soundtrack and its my current playlist.

Riveting, Must Watch!!

I see this too often with KDramas and the KDrama fans. When they hate someone or something, then they will hate that person or thing for life. These Eve reviews are a true testimony to that.

I absolutely loved this drama. It had me glued to my screen with each episode. I was rooting for a different character with each episode as the drama progressed, and the characters showed themselves and evolved. I was rooting for both male characters. So I'm feeling some kindaway about that ending.

I watched it in two sittings. It would have been one, but I made the mistake of starting the dram on my Graduation Day, and well I had no choice but to attend my graduation, and when I got back went straight to watching it. That is how much I enjoyed it. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.

The soundtrack is awesome too.

Most Enjoyable

I'm totally fascinated by the people who gave this drama a negative review simply because the main lead treated the female lead badly (thier words not mine). So Dear Reader, when you read reviews also keep in mind that reviews are subjective and people put their personal feelings into the review instead of analysing the drama for what it is.

Park Jae Eon from Episode 1 showed his true self and what he wanted, Yoo Na Bi knew this yet went ahead with the relationship .... so why are you all mad when things went south? It was inevitable. Yoo Na Bi was actually irritating. She spend all the time listening to other people's opinions and then went from one bad decision to another and her clear desperations made her jump from man to man. Relationships are toxic if you don't know what you are getting into, but if you walk into the relationship knowing exactly what you are getting then that's your choice.

Realistic? Absolutely! Yes people, this is reality. There was none of that fluffy, all roses, nauseating and irritating romance that Korean dramas just love to give us, and makes me fast forward.

I enjoyed this drama and watched it in one sitting because I simply couldn't stop watching. I had to see what's next? It was a great storyline that flowed from start to finish, episode to episode. Definitely will watch it again.

The music was awesome, so I went out and purchased the album.
