Unconditional love must be nice

As someone who fell in love with kdramas because of the beauty factor (and I don't mean just the physical aspect), this wasn't an easy watch: while there are quite a few beautiful souls, this is mostly about human weakness and human failure under pressure, in difficult circumstances.

The main couple's love relationship reminded me of Flower of Evil. They are rock solid both for each other and in the face of a lot of troubled waters.

The story is not the most original one but the pace is well maintained through the series and there aren't any annoying plot holes.

The biggest pleasant surprise was the OST though. I don't think I picked so many songs for my spotify playlist from a single kdrama in quite a while.

I really enjoyed this drama and I think I will remember it with pleasure for a long time.

충분하다 - It's good enough ;)

Constantly on the edge of being something memorable, not really succedingy, but always a pleasure to watch. No unnecessary angst, but felt like parts of the story were forcibly left out.

A bit too many exceptional circumstances within the story, and a bit careless about the editing. FL is unrealistically beautiful for the part but the acting feels very natural. ML seems underutilized as an actor. The other characters are there, not the most loveable but not caricatural either. OST is surprisingly nice, not as in your face as other dramas, but still memorable.

Re-watch value is also ok, I believe.

The time travel is not the most unrealistic part

Spoiler ahead, sorry, but I suggest you read it, as it might save you a bit of time and also it might save you from a lot of angst.

Ok, so I am completely baffled. This is the second drama of its kind that I start watching and having to drop, out of sheer frustration. The other one I am referring to is Go Back Couple, which had the same issue (even though in that one, at least one of the leads, even if momentarily, seems to care about it).

I even looked for the writers of these 2 kdramas, and they're different.

So, the huge problem I am talking about: even while going into these traveling-back-in-time dramas ready to accept all sorts of impossible and illogical storylines (from a scientific perspective), the thing that makes me mad is how they deal with their children, from their original timelines.

The moment the ML decides to change the circumstances around meeting the original wife, knowing it will lead to them having no future together, he also virtually kills his children. I don't even care to know if the ML from this one comes to its senses later on in the drama or not.

Because there is no reasonable human being, that I know, that would behave that way. It's one thing to fantasize about living a life together with someone else, by making a different choice sometimes in your past. It's unthinkable to imagine that scenario knowing that way you are also losing, forever (ie killing), your young children.

Unless you're sick, I guess. As in psychiatric disorder levels of sickness. Which neither this drama, or Go Back Couple, seem to want to imply.

So yeah, watch this if you don't have kids and what I am saying seems just incomprehensible to you.
