Why do you turn intelligent and adult people into immature adolescents?

I think it's time for Korean screenwriters to grow up. They know how to write great action scenes, plots, and moments of surprise, but I don't understand why adult romantic scenes often end up with adolescent behavior. The actors are +-30 years old, and the characters are as well, so it should be age-appropriate, not throwing themselves around on the ground and kicking their feet. I'd like to see a couple confess their love, kiss, sparks fly, fireworks explode, and then look at each other like a holy picture during the next episodes. I wouldn't be afraid to go into bolder scenes. The actors can do it not only here but also in other series. We are in the 21st century. If they can make people go after each other's throats out of hatred, why not something normal, natural? Find a balance somehow. Otherwise, the plot of the series is good. I like the actors, the secondary characters are also great. Just don't turn intelligent and wise adults into immature teenagers.

Sadly worse that I expected but with some really nice scenes

Song Kang did not impress me as an actor here as in Love Alarm or Nevertheless. Even in Navillera, he had his charm. I think it's because he's young and they're making him even younger. He's great in serious moments...I enjoyed them. Even the funny ones can be good and then there are embarrassing scenes that don't suit him and he knows it and everyone can see it..or not and it just bothers me. And I didn't like his hairdresser and make-up artist. The main female character was better. She thought appropriately, rationally, and soberly. In my opinion, the last episode was unnecessary. No creativity in how he came to life. Or should they let him die..he wouldn't be the first or the last. The side characters were awkward. I don't like this very much, it takes away points from the series, and people's IQ has just decreased. Fortunately, there were also negative characters and they balanced it out a bit more. I was expecting some secret story about the demon's son, but nothing. I missed it. At least there was a secret contract with the young woman's father..:)

The real family is not only made up of blood relatives.

I didn't expect this series will get under my skin like this. It was full of tears, emotion, beauty, innocence, cheerfulness, but also pain, endless desire and patience (!), huge responsibility and the effort to achieve something good. The beginning of Qian and his sister's life was very bitter, painful and sad. And he also took home a boy from the street. I admire that he has grown into such a good and smart guy. The living conditions of all the children were terrible. Nevertheless, they grew up to be great people and a close-knit family together with their external brother San Pang 😂. Qian was incredibly selfless, caring and kind. He preferred his "siblings" to himself and they were his driving force. On the other hand, he suppressed a lot of emotions inside him, as if he thought he didn't deserve to be happy. And he was also afraid of his feelings. Apparently things didn't go the way he thought they should. And Yuan certainly did not help him in this. Nothing shook his feelings. He was solid as a rock. From the beginning when he was young, terrified and troubled, but after his return an incredible change. The calmness with which he talked about his feelings and how he treated his "brother"... It was fun to watch how their roles changed and Qian fight with himself. Excellent performances by both the main actors as well as the supporting ones. At the end of each episode, a beautiful reflection on family.

Be more bolder, pls

This is the first k-drama I wished it had more episodes. More episodes - more couple scences. They deserved more intimate, personal and beautiful scenes. One of the best couples from my latest seen shows. Great chemistry. Moon Sang Min is such a passionate and charismatic actor. And I am so happy that female lead is so funny, intelligent and active. 🫰🏻One star down because of a very quick ending, and after one year meeting it was without passion between the main leads. Separately they were sad but together something was missing. Maybe some scene which would lead them close to each other. Meeting after one year should be full of secret pain and love they had to held inside. And it seemed to be unrealistic that the grandpa would be waiting (so long) one year to give them a bless.

missing romantic connection from female lead

A nice story with a historical basis, which went into the future and again into the theme of past/future lives. The theme of being cursed and turning into a dog after a kiss was funny and there were a lot of funny moments related to it. I take it as a minus that after 200 or so years, the God of the mountain did not overcome the loss of a loved one and started playing his ugly game there... I would have expected a slightly more mature character. The reincarnated young woman was more intelligent than him. Besides that, the chemistry between the main actors somehow did not suit me. Cha Eun Woo was cool... I trusted him with everything. Maybe it was the script ... The writers really shouldn't be afraid to go into little bolder scenes. Or not to play it on lovers like they were 15, but they are adults.

We should live the way we want, the way we feel good.

This show is epic!
The story beautifully presented that gender does not matter, but it matters with whom you feel good and comfortable.
The main point is that we only live once and we should live the way we want and feel good. Nowhere in the series was there any hatred, shock, or comment about the attraction for the same gender.
The actors, scenes, camera, editing, script, play of light, and soundtrack were incredibly beautiful. I had chills several times.

Oh Jun Taek- Kim Ji Hyun was very sweet, kind, innocent, good, understanding, and intelligent.

Lim Ji Sub (Seo Jae Won) was very charismatic and handsome :D. Beautifully played by mimicry. His work with the camera was perfect. His character's story was one of those bitter and sad ones. And when a person looked at him, he wished him luck in any form. He looked so happy in front of other people and friends. But he carried the pain he experienced in childhood with difficulty and unevenness. He was looking for the meaning of life, joy, shelter, and a place where he would be able to feel himself.

Deserve to be seen

The unbelievable has become a reality. The main female character is not sensitive, romantic, sweet, or crying, but rather a guy in a female body. That only men can dominate women, control them, cheat, and do whatever they want? She gave them back nicely when it was necessary physically, too. Having encountered hypocrites, liars and cheats in her life (and her father, the great patriarch, did not respect her mother or her), she did not trust men and just used them and did to them what they did to other women. That's when a guy comes into her life, about whom she mistakenly thinks the same thing. Since he doesn't like women. He considers women as gold diggers, who want to secure themselves financially and then want to kick the man out. The main female character is emancipated, brave, strong, wise, clever, and independent, which freaks him out so much that he stares at her. She wants to take revenge on him for the insulting words of women, but gradually everything gets confused when they have to pretend a relationship for the media. He discovers that he has feelings for her, and she is the only one who does not have panic attacks. She also discovers that she met someone who admires and respects her. There are many comic situations in the series, the chemistry is great, and romantic scenes are finally braver and pretty. Colleagues of the main woman character at work could easily be more visible. The main character's best friend was a bit of a drag about courting and dating. I thought he would be more dominant. Thanks to the cameramen and editing, the show is colorful. Really nice to watch. And the soundtrack is very nice.

Main leads were so cute

I love watching how Rowoon grows up and I'm already looking forward to what he has preparing next. From the beginning, it bothered me that the make-up artist overdid it with his make-up. It seemed so artificial to me. And yet the series started so super dramatic and mysterious. Later, the plot of the series overtook my focus on his shiny flawless skin and I stopped researching him so much. The height difference between the main actors cannot be overlooked. I believe they had a lot of fun because of it, too. The female lead is not exactly my type, but she had a surprisingly positive effect on me in serious and especially dramatic (historical) scenes. There was great chemistry between Jo Bo-ah and Rowoon, and the funny moments were so cute. I must also mention that I was pleased with the secondary characters. Favorites from Forecast: Love and Weather and He is psychometric. An interesting combo that nicely diversified the series. They could have improved the soundtrack a bit. I love soundtracks and I wasn't impressed here.

Extraordianry game with time. Nothing and no one is the same.

My idea about this series: After the first episode, I thought it would be a pleasant relaxing series where we have footage from the present when something happened and we go back to the past and the story tells us what and why happened in the past and also in the present... Reality: I was more and more out of it with each subsequent episode, I was yelled at sometimes in the 6th episode, totally psycho... who is who and at what time it happened, because the times didn't fit at all, neither the characters nor the names. From a pleasant relaxing time, it changed into a brutal game with time, storylines, and characters. I devoured this series in about two days. Thank you for releasing it into the world with all the parts at once. If it were done gradually, I would probably snap or stop watching it. The casting was 100% successful. Acting skills were at the highest level. This was the Ahn Hyo Seop I had been waiting for for a very long time. Not the artificial, conceited, most stylish one like in Business Proposal, nor such a bunny as in Abyss, or in 30 but 17. He suited me better in Lovers of the Red Sky but here in A time called you, he was perfect here from the first moment to the last. I enjoyed every scene with him. Also, Kang Hoon surprised me even more after The Red Sleeve. The boys did a great job playing both student and adult roles. And Jeon Yeo Bin was also awesome. How action-packed and funny she was in Vincenzo, here she was incredibly emotional and cared about every detail of her characters. Anyone who has seen Memories of Alhambra will surely recognize Min Jin-Woong, who he played as Hyun Bin's assistant and good friend. In this series, however, he got a completely different character, actually several characters...each different, but refined. I recommend watching this series when you have enough time to watch it continuously. I had to rewatch a few things again to better understand the storyline.

Everyone gets what deserves

For me, the first TV series that Song Hoon suited very well. Maybe he has just matured with age and as an actor, but he entertained me here. Apart from him, I didn't know most of the actors. The casting for negative characters was excellent. Stepmother played her role awesome. The main female character was sympathetic. The transformation from a "gray mouse" and a poor woman to a woman seeking revenge was great. The lies, fakes, exploits, insults...etc. The concept of the accident, return in time and the fateful meeting/love was super contrived. Although, on the Big Day, I expected it to be something more to explain: the sign on the hands and why they had it. And the screenwriters were more daring with the romantic scenes. They were very beautiful.

historical modern drama

Historically modern drama, where I was happy that Bae In Hyuk is in the main role. Overall, Lee Se Yeong is very good at historical dramas. When she got to the present world, she was out a lot, but she could have been more :D. It had a lot of funny moments and a nice story. But then again, I was disappointed that two adults finally kissed, and after that, both were like adolescents. I missed the adult approach. Also, I didn't understand two things: how Bae In Hyuk's heart problem was related to her being in the present world (he already had an issue with the heart and also underwent surgery). She had to come back, and then he miraculously healed. And that picture of her locked away at his grandfather's like a treasure. If anyone has an explanation for this, let me know please.

There is something interesting about Kim Young Dae...

I enjoyed the historical plot and the plot around the main characters and was always waiting to find out. Historical flashbacks were exciting. For those who like historical fated love that magically meets in the future, go for it. A little spoiler: The series depicted the life of the main character in the past, who did not belong to a high-level family by blood, and was trained by his "adoptive father" to do dirty work. And when it stopped being useful, they would have him killed just to get what they wanted. With his life on the edge, he was no longer afraid of anything ... because his death was his redemption from the life he had to live. He will make you feel sad. And finally, the woman whose family he had to kill, and she luckily survived, got into his hands. Over time, the relationship where she hated him, despised him and wanted to take revenge on him, and his outwardly neutral to indifferent attitude turned into understanding, pity, and painful love. The real-life (present time) could be without someone who came from the past to make a hell among the main characters. Especially, when it didn't occur to the main character for a long time that who could come like him... the main couple had something to deal with even without him. I would skip the additional happy ending after some years. That is beyond the real heroes. Kim Young Dae was great in this show. I saw him for the first time in When the Weather Is Fine, where he immediately caught my attention. Then I saw the Forbidden Marriage, where I thought that even historical ones fit him. And here in the series a total combo of both. like the historical love story and the main actors. I give a lower rating because of someone I won't reveal, who came from the past.
