Form your own opinion of the show/ igonre the reviews
If you are having doubts about watching this cause of the bad reviews, don't listen to them. Form your own opinion on this show cause honestly, it's not that bad.My thoughts on the show:
-Episode 1: This is so good why are people hating on it?
-Episode 3: I almost dropped it cause I was not too fond of her returning to the future and her past self not knowing what she knows.
-Episode 4: The brother & best friend contribute nothing, just a waste of screen time.
-Episode 5: I like it so far but why tf are we adding murder and kidnapping to this?
-Episode 8: I like that there was no time travel in this episode and it is just their new lives in 2023.
-Episode 9: so I'm guessing time doesn't stop if she says she's from the future, only if she says details from the future?
-Episode 10: okay so now we are changing the future again which I like. Also, why tf was this negatively reviewed bombed? Like it's not gonna be my favorite drama but it's better than average.
-Episode 11: The ML is so adorable, his love for the FL is so cute. So far this was my favorite episode.
-Episode 12: Sol is kinda dumb... I agree with someone else's comment "Wouldn't it change the future if you went with them instead of staying in the same town you saw getting yourself hurt?!?? "
-Episode 13: how can she give her brother numbers to win prize money in the future? Why didn't time stop? Is that allowed now? Isn't that telling her brother about the future? I guess there are more loopholes to telling someone about the future, as long as it's not super detailed about others' lives or their own. I also think if they figure it out themselves then it's also okay.
-Well, at least he's not dead. It's sad though because in the first timeline, he loved her, and she didn't know, In the second timeline she knew he loved her and they loved each other later on. In the third timeline only she knows that they love each other and she loves him from afar.
-Episode 14: I like how they turned down the craziness for this episode.
-Episode 15: honestly this show isn't bad, it just feels like the writer didn't know where to go with the plotline and went in all directions. It's funny how this is a sci-fi show, a cop show, a romance show, a slice of life. I don't mind it but I can see how others didn't like how it didn't just pick one genre and stuck with it.
-Episode 16- The FL can be dumb at times but honestly she's not annoying idk why the reviews say that.
----->Final Thoughts:
I saw a review saying that the ending was unsatisfying, I don't agree. I do believe logic is thrown out the window in this show and it can drag towards the end but overall the show itself was good. It won't be one of my top Kdramas but I do believe it deserves a higher rating then what the reviews are giving it. I also saw someone saying that this Kdrama is overrated, I don't think it's highly rated enough. So many of the reviews that I first saw when I thought about watching this show were the lowest of the low. They were all saying stuff about the show. I don't think this is a 10-star show in my opinion but I don't agree with most reviews rating this drama less than 4 stars. I should sometimes stop listening to reviews because Goblin is one of the most praised and popular Kdramas ever and yet I hated the main characters and couldn't even finish it.

Straight to the point of where I'm trying to get at is that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this drama.

Pro:
Gong Hyo Jin is so adorable in this.
Episode 9 was a rollercoaster ride for my heart.
Con:
The ghosts aren't even scary.
I was rooting more for the second leads to get together then the main leads.
Everything started to get better around episode 9.
The story and backstory felt weak and boring to a point I had to take breaks and come back when I was ready to continue.
Overall: it's not rewatchable but at least watch it once.

Better then you think
This show is misunderstanding central. One misunderstanding after another. A rollercoaster ride of a show. The first 5 episodes were annoying but after that, it made me stressed and sweat and scream and want more. It's not the best show out there but it will not be disappointing. It's funny at times and serious when it needs to be. The acting isn't the best, but if you don't mind all the annoying parts of the show because you just get that invested.Was this review helpful to you?

okay
It was confusing at times. The villain aspect was unnecessary. The romance was okay. The side romantic characters were lacking. There were funny parts and that's the only way I tolerated the show. I didn't like how dull the show was at times and how stupid some plot points were. The ending was lacking as well. Also hated how in episode 5 or 6 they told us that she was going into the cryo capsule again, It would've been better if they hadn't tell us so that we could've been surprised.Was this review helpful to you?

Do I Recommend? YesWill you hate me for it? Yes
Will you regret watching the show? Yes
The show is not a masterpiece. At times it lacks some excitement that was promised. It's dull for half of the episodes of the show. When it does pick up it feels rushed since it doesn't truly pick up until the last few episodes. It has a lot of boring political stuff that has nothing to do with the plot or isn't important enough. Many of the storylines aren't relevant.
Although most of the time it is boring, you just can't stop watching because of some of the characters. Especially the adoptive father. Episode 14 can go to hell for making me cry like a little girl. Some episodes will make you angry or really sad or just plain depressed. Honestly, I don't regret watching iljimae but that ending did all of us who dedicated our time to watch it, dirty. No one truly had a happy ending. Just a somewhat okay ending for all involved. It felt rushed.
All in all, I don't regret watching it and I truly do recommend it but you will hate yourself and me when you finish it.
It's worth it though.

One of the only times you should trust the low reviews
This sucked. I'm not a fan of shows like this and I thought it would be a good reincarnation/reborn show with revenge but most of the time it felt more like a Wall Street show. The ending sucked so bad, I can't imagine why someone in the comments said this show is a masterpiece. This has to be one of the worst shows I've seen. I stuck it out to the end since I wanted to give it a chance, but I was bored. It's a waste of time.Was this review helpful to you?

It's okay..... Just okay.
I have no idea why this is so highly rated. I gave it the benefit of the doubt since I was on vacation and downloaded all 14 episodes. I will admit the show at times made me cry because of the mother-son relationship. I understand that the mother in her mind had reasons for what she did when he was growing up but I do not believe it's as black and white as to say she's all bad. Like the title say she is both Good/bad. I was waiting for everyone to know he is the father and the kids too but they didn't give us the reaction just the aftermath, which spoiler it's a good ending and they get married which isn't a bad thing but I stuck it out till the end so I could see the reaction and yet the kids mention it for 5 seconds in the last episode and that's it. The plot with the bad guys was very lackluster and made me skip over so many of the scenes when they were on screenWas this review helpful to you?
