Female Leads
The superb acting skills of Kim Yoo Jung and Han Hyo Joo make this movie worth watching. Both of these young women have won numerous awards and after watching this movie you will understand why. The movie does have a sad ending but the reality of life is not always pleasant. But knowing someone still loves you 15 years after you have passed away provides reassurance that your life is worth living to the fullest. Both of these women should win awards for this movie.The male lead does an excellent job of providing a love interest for Kim Yoo Jung in the traditional timid behavior that is so common in K-Dramas. Coming from the US, relationship behaviors are quite different here. They are straightforward when expressing one’s feelings for another. It is refreshing but sometimes frustrating leaving so many emotions unsaid. We never know how long our time is going to be on Earth and leaving unsaid emotions is a shame for those we left behind.

Time Travel
I never saw the original version several people have discussed. I do however enjoy time travel dramas. This one was too much for me. Especially the part when the women were discussing rectifying the originals personality problems. The whole person in a room thing I didn’t care for. Since they were actually two different people why couldn’t she show up as herself. He was time traveling to the future. Rowoon showing up as a gay man was the best part. I can’t believe you guy’s haven’t discussed him. It was a nice break from the whole time travel thing. One other thing, why would she cut her throat and jump out of a window. She is committing Suicide not committing murder.Was this review helpful to you?
Storyline was basic.
I liked the movie version with Angelababy a lot better. ML and FL no chemistry between the two. The movie was far more entertaining. Yang Yang always seems too tense and I always think he looks like a poodle when I look at him in dramas. Arrogant and wooden in his character persona and expressions are lifeless. Too bad I have seen a lot of his dramas and his characters are always the same. ?????????????????????????????????????????Was this review helpful to you?

Real Relationships
The storyline is for a 16+ audience . The story is realistic storyline that occurs in actual relationships. The major of storylines in current dramas are ridiculous portrayals of interactions between adults. But the portrayals of women as constantly being hungry and dumb as a post is unnecessary. Individuals can be naive and that is ok but to extremes that some dramas go to is unnecessary. I enjoyed this drama very much it had a more authentic vibe to actual relationships. Knowing that sometimes people are taken advantage of in relationships is not a bad thing to know and will help others understand that they are not singled out when things don’t go the way they planned. These two worked out their problems and saved their relationship which can actually happen.Was this review helpful to you?
