Every imperfection is an opportunity for a new perfection in life!

This is one drama that is really great among the few time travelers – dramas. First, I'll start with the story. The genre itself tells us the story, time travel, youth, friendship, first love, musical. But what separates this drama? What makes it special, different from the rest? First, the whole story is divided into sections (retrospect) through which we get to know the characters and their lives from different angles, their problems, and through them we arrive at the main plot. Something that underpins this drama is that we get to know the story through the main characters and their little prologues that are really emotional. Throughout the drama there were various emotions and feelings that were a major part of the story, and the characters conveyed all the emotions perfectly to me and the rest of the viewers. And in fact this story gives us a much deeper meaning, which is that life is perfect with our imperfections, and sometimes we have to learn to live without thinking about the past, because the future is in front of us. These are some of the best impressions this story has left on me, and certainly on anyone who has seen this great play. As far as the characters, as I mentioned to you, they did a great job. They conveyed every emotion so realistically, and in my opinion, the main characters did the best job, especially the ones who couldn't speak, because they fascinatingly introduced us to their personalities and conveyed each emotion in sign language. I liked that they actually handled the main characters' backstories very well, getting to know them better and getting us into the whole drama. I want to start with Ha Yi Chan, the one ML. His character was really dynamic and difficult, but still so interesting and funny to watch. His character was represented from two sides. One is from the perspective of the mature and experienced Yi Chan with his difficult life situation with his family, and the other is from the perspective of the first image we had of his character who is energetic, lively, cheerful, so carried away in his youth. We see the huge contrast between the two characters of him, but we actually see that they are very similar. They are content with what they have, they value their things as if they were most precious to them, and they live as if it were their last. Although his difficult story was told through both personalities, he managed to stay who he was and did not give up on his dreams. His character was the most interesting and also the hardest to watch, but both actors did a great job. And then there's Chong-ah. As I mentioned earlier, I'm fascinated by the grief of her character. We have the same case as Yi Chan. We see her character from two perspectives. But I would talk more on her character in her youth, because that's when we get to the heart of her story. I actually liked that at first she was portrayed as a shadowed person, but over time we realize and discover how combative, strong, and filled with grief and pain she is. Through love, she confronts herself and her problems and learns how to fight in life, and we see the same with Yi Chan. The other FL was also fantastic. As for her character, there was the most contrast between the two personalities of her character. We have a cold, insensitive girl versus a cheerful, playful, free-spirited girl, but both have experienced a lot of trauma and difficult situations. We see her way of wrestling with herself and with life. I liked that her character was included in the main plot because it all made sense in the end. And finally, we have the other ML. His character, like the others, is seen from two perspectives, but in a different way from the other characters. We've seen the whole story throughout his life, and that's why I think his role was really the most important. I liked that in the other characters the lives were presented as a flashback, but in his character it wasn't. We see his perseverance and great desire to improve the family, and to do something that will make everyone happy. I think that even though his character is seemingly portrayed as the most mature and self-aware, the main message of the drama is conveyed through his character, which is that no matter how hard we try sometimes we can't change some things and situations in life, but we can accept those things and use them as an opportunity for something new. Something better. All the characters are interconnected, and although they all have different problems, coming from different backgrounds, they find happiness in the darkness, and turn insecurities and imperfections into opportunities for struggle, for success, for life and happiness. Some may not want the ending because the second main couple in the drama didn't have the ending they imagined. But I think it's great that for them we're back in retrospect, but now with a new and better life for them as well as for all the other characters. It's this ending that suits the drama the most and makes it even better, and all the characters get what they really deserve. As for the OST, there really aren't any words here. Because it's a musical itself, the characters express all the feelings through songs, it's actually great that music is one of the main genres in this drama because it's the one that brings the characters together even though maybe not everyone can hear it, they can feel it. A lot of funny and interesting moments were told through it, but also the traumatic and bad things that the characters went through. Although the drama was filled with countless happenings and things, there was a flashback to time travel and multiple plots, it is still perfectly good and excellent, so I reckon everyone would have liked it. As you can see, this drama is one of the few that deserves a 10 for everything. Except for the value of re-watching. Yes, the drama is perfect, but one viewing is enough to grasp the point of the drama and the message it carries. I personally would watch it again, if only because of the wonderful songs that were part of the drama and the fantastic acting of the characters. All in all, my final rating is 9.5, for this masterpiece, which will definitely remain etched in the hearts of many viewers. Finally, I want to share my favorite message from this play, which has really taught me a lot. In fact, a person is like a fortress, which is built of a myriad of virtues, perfections, and beautiful traits, but there are also flaws, imperfections, scars, and whiteness that make that fortress even stronger and stronger. It is up to us whether in life we will fight and tear that fortress behind us or give up and tear down our personality (^o^)

This drama deserves to be watched by everyone!!

This play is worth watching in every sense. I'll start with the characters first. Each character has done a great job. Each character fit into the story, and the supporting characters were especially interesting and complemented the story in a great way. Han Yorum, FL was a very interesting but difficult character. She bore all the responsibility on herself and had the most difficult task in the drama. I think she did a great job with her character. At first, I found it interesting to watch, but also incomprehensible. Sometimes I didn't like her character because she was too unstable and insecure, but then I realized her. I'm not actually judging her because she was trying to discover true love, as the title Discovery of Love says. It's really the best title for a drama. Even though this is a fantastic comedy, it's actually a story that teaches us what love is and how terrible it can be. Here are the two main male characters who were also great. But for me, Kang Taeha was the best at acting. I think he was born for his character in the play. The whole acting seemed totally natural, and I really liked it. And I have a lot to say about his character. From the outset, we see that he is a good man, even though he has made mistakes, he is a loyal and good person. In fact, I was on his side from the beginning, and here's why. Teha didn't know what true love was before Yorum, he actually learned about love from her. And his biggest mistake was that he didn't realize how important love was in time. And another message from this drama is that preoccupation with work and various obligations leads to the loss of many valuable things in life, and with it, the meaning of our lives. But I liked how his character developed and matured over time, and he realized what he had done wrong and what he had lost, and he learned how to love without hurting. That's why I liked his character the most. On the other hand, we have Dr. Hajun, who was also good. Here we have again the desire for the real love. No matter how hard you try to salvage something that's already torn apart, you can't get it back in the same shape as before. That's the message of his character. He had a really tough character, with a bad and tough story in the background. And somehow I get it. He has learned over time that he needs to share what torments him and what is important to him. And he slowly matured and learned how to love and be loved. We actually went through a lot of things that teach us a lot of things in drama and I love that a lot. In particular, we've been told that it's not enough when just one is in love, even though maybe that one really loves endlessly. Therefore, this drama deserves to be watched by everyone. And I think anyone can look into it and learn a lot from it. What I liked most was that we followed the story from the perspective of all the main characters. In doing so, we learned a lot about the characters, their mental state, and how they view certain situations. And each character was different, and that gave variety to the dramа. Although I started drama because I wanted a laid-back comedy, I liked the main genre of love discovery much more. And that's why I gave it a great rating. At every moment it kept my attention, though sometimes it was ridiculous and sometimes it annoyed me. As for the OST, I think it was good, but it wasn't the most noticeable, something to remember. Aside from the many interesting and wonderful things in the drama, it was kind of in the background. But it wasn't bad. And finally, the value of re-watching. I find this to be a drama with very heavy and deep themes and characters, and therefore not everyone is able to watch it again, and there is no need because it is superbly made to get the point and sense after the first viewing. And it's a drama I remember, so I wouldn't watch it again even though it was really too good. Honestly, one of the best romances I've ever seen. It's getting harder and harder to find a good romance these days, so don't miss this one. Trust me, you won't regret it. All in all, you'll laugh and enjoy yourself, but at the same time you'll get angry and annoyed as you watch to discover true love. And who do you think will be with Yorum in the end? It's really a suspenseful fight until the very end, but it all makes sense when you watch the drama. So don't wait any longer!!

This is an amazing drama!!!

I loved every part of this play. I'm not the biggest fan of trailers, but you can't miss this one. It was the best way to tell the story, in my opinion. Really interesting, but at the same time unexpected.I loved every part of this drama. There were a couple of twists and turns that were really great. And you really can't guess who Getal is no matter how hard you try. I like that this is a drama where you can love the bad ones as well. While I'm at the story, I really feel like the ending was something that hurt me a little bit, even though I don't think it's bad, but I still have hope for a second season. The actors were also great. Everyone did a great job, especially Professor Kwon and Michan. But what I really liked the most was the OST, it was just fantastic. Each piece fits into each other. Of the mysteries section, this drama deserves an excellent rating. And the worst part is that it has just 11 episodes, i needed more. All in all, it is such a great mystery antihero drama and everyone should watch it!

The best of the best!!

Whenever I see this drama, I get sentimental. It really left a deep impression on me. It's an unforgettable masterpiece that everyone should watch. I love both seasons equally. In the first season I was constantly laughing and excited, and in the second season I was crying but I was overjoyed. It was really painful to watch this wonderful fantasy, but definitely worth it. And now, after all this time, it still remains my favorite drama of all time, and the best thing I've ever seen in my life.❤️
