Setting aside my orange colored bias for this review....
I've been in a drama slump for more than a year now, dropping more than I've completed. I started watching out of support for my leadernim, but didn't have high hopes. I was pleasantly surprised as the characters and the actors' portrayals kept me interested through all 18 episodes (though the extension was definitely not needed).
Set with the premise of Park Do Kyung (Eric) being able to see his future (or past?), it may have seemed unrealistic on paper, but the writing and direction were well done in that it added to the story of his falling in love. The side characters definitely helped the drama with well developed subplots of their own, adding humor to otherwise serious scenes.
My only disappointment would be with the cause of Do Kyung's visions not being fully explained. I admit it lost a bit of steam after Ep 14, but not enough for me to skip as I normally do when I feel a drama stretching itself. It recovers nicely however and you continue to root for everyone, including the second leads.
Growing up with a common name (There were 6 other people with my same name in high school), I get it. Oh Hae Young's reactions towards the so called prettier one were natural. I was also happy to see both Hae Young's perspectives of each other by the end.
I recommend this drama for the acting, Eric's expressive eyes, the laughs, the kisses, and the love.
