The Underrated Gem: Tomorrow With You

This drama was such an entertaining watch, not for a second was I bored or distracted and for someone like me who has an attention span of a bee it sure is a feat of its own.

Character Development: this was the finest aspect of Tomorrow With You for me because they were able to nail this and with such finesse. The plot and actors collectively complimented the subtle yet clearly distinguishable personality change of every character involved with a justifiable pace that didn't feel too rushed or unbelievable as it tends to happen in most cases. They stuck to keeping them in a grayish spectrum of persona, not too good and not too evil either just a bunch of realistic lives that at some point everyone can relate with.
‌The main lead went to being from extremely self engrossed to a bit disoriented and then to being desperately besotted while still clinging to his selfish gains throughout.

‌The antagonist was very well scripted that at times I kinda tried to justify his actions because he wasn't a beast on a murdering spree from the beginning, just a lil' too ambitious for his own good and that is exactly what struck a chord with me because when has ever demanding what you rightfully deserve labeled as a crime?

‌The female lead was such a cutie, eccentric and cringey too at times but a cutie nonetheless. I truly get where she was coming from. Getting used to rejection from family, friends and random strangers can take a toll on anyone and then suddenly, out of the blue being accepted and loved not to mention the new experience of martial bliss can make you a tad high on happiness if not completely cuckoo in the heads. Ma Rin proved to be such an entertainer and yes, am gonna defend her craziness because she was anything but irritating. She made me laugh my guts out while simultaneously dealing with heavy emotions like depression, disbelief and determination with such gusto that boy, it truly had me. She'll be my favorite FL for a while now, that's for sure.


Plot: I'm a sucker for sci-fi and on your face romance more so if both combined so it was a given already that the plot was going to keep me busy. Not gonna lie the entire concept got way too complicated in the midway than it was initially supposed to be but that's okay, it made me sit up and focus on every scene and timeline as if my life depended on it (cause the lead's sure did lol).
It was such an heart wrenching story sprinkled with humour and overall wholesomeness of developing human relations that despite some plotline loopholes in the end I was ready to overlook every flaw of this show just because the presentation and execution was done perfectly.


Acting: Might I just say, that I'm in love with Shin Min Ah for her work in this one. This is my first drama of hers and man, am I awestruck by her beauty and charm already.
Lee Je Hoon brought a dash of happy surprise as well with his immaculate acting. Mentioning the obvious here but I couldn't resist, these guys had such a rocking chemistry, their lovey dovey marriage even the lovers' quarrels appeared so believable that I was wishing for it to be true in both real and reel life; it doesn't hurts that they both look extremely good together either.
Jo Hee Park appeared somewhat awkward and hasty with her portrayal as the female second lead.
I find Kang Ki Doong, Han Chul Jo and Kim Ye Won annoyingly cute almost everywhere they go so, there's nothing new about it.


Extra: How the hell was everyone on this drama so gorgeously dressed? I mean hats off to the costume designers, who came up with such brilliant chic yet classy looking clothing for every character. I almost wanted to steal them denim jackets and overcoats virtually (don't blame me the entire thing was on futuristic hopes and wishful thinking).

In conclusion, the show is criminally underrated for no reason whatsoever and if you're looking for a heavy romance with an equally heavy plot well, look no further!
