Story
The story is quite simple. A girl ends up in the past and is stuck there until the next rain comes. This doesn't come without a few issues here and there, of course. The plot doesn't entail much more but considering the drama is only a little over 2 hours, it is just perfect. It's a story where you don't have to expect a lot of twists and turns and drama in order to enjoy the ride.
Romance and comedy were the main focus, next to the historical part and I think the drama did well on balancing it out. The only bit of supernatural that occurs is the time travel though.
The story allowed for a few good laughs and the romance had a nice pace in build-up throughout the two hours. It was touching and cute, allowing for a few tears along the second half of the story because I had gotten so wrapped up in it.
And I like the moral/lesson that's hidden inside it. That you can do far more when you really put your mind into it. It definitely gives a bit of a boost there.
Acting/Cast
They delivered a great job for sure! I think the plot/jokes wouldn't have been half as amusing had it not been for the actors. Thumbs up, because I don't often find myself laughing so hard about comedy. So for me, that is always a tell-tale sign.
The only issues I had with the acting was the female lead. Sometimes she annoyed me, but compared to some other drama's I've seen.. I guess she wasn't half as bad. The actress did well on delivering her role regardless. It were only a handful of scenes I didn't enjoy the character she played.
Music
This was actually the part where I feel most critical. The instrumental OST I enjoyed well along with the scenes, but half of the songs that had vocal weren't quite to my taste. I can understand why they were chosen, but it just didn't help me get a feel. But considering this drama is so short, I couldn't really feel upset about it. I did really love one of the final songs, sung by Ahn Hyo Seop.
Rewatch value
Absolutely! It's a simple drama without too many surprises and once you've seen it, you've seen it. But would I enjoy it again? Yes, I definitely would! No doubt it would make me laugh and smile again when I do. But it would not have anything new to offer a second round.
Overall, I'm very happy to have seen this drama. It was short and perfect to fill my need for Romance! It was everything I expected of it. Better even - because it proved to be far more amusing than I had thought. (I really don't often laugh out loud when it comes to comedy.)
