A lot of repetitions in the story, depression and disability not explored enough
I have watched some amazing time-travel k-dramas hence comparisons will be made. Beginning episodes really captured my attention because it focuses on depression and disability. First episode was personally my favorite as it captured the struggles of a disable women. There is hardly any representation of disable persons in k-dramas specially as main lead so it was new to see a disable FL. But i was soon disappointed as the topic was cut out from the story. Don't get me wrong i was happy that FL saved herself from disability but her disability was major part of the show as it was the reason she tried to kill herself. Her disability was discarded too early in the show which makes it irrelevant later. Apart from that FL was making dumb choices in every timeline as if she didn’t grow up at all.
Same issue was with the Male lead as he dealt with depression at the beginning but the causes of his depression were not highlighted. We do see that he had to quit swimming because of his injury. Does that cause his depression or he was lonely! He wanted to retire! But why ! We didn’t get to know SunJae that deeply. He was a shallow character. Why put such topics in the show when they are not going to be explored and give us a deeper understanding of characters ? Both characters needed development based on the timelines as they were shown in different times.
Time travel was interesting to watch till they were in high school after that it become a drag as her going back into the past for the 3rd time didn't change the plot much. And what she wanted to prevent, happened. The purpose of this time travel was to just drag the story.
Sol was super annoying. It felt like she was not taking things seriously, it felt too convenient for her to go back again and again and mess things up further. Even the way she keep on avoiding sunjae made her look very mean. Sun jae's character needed development as well because he was focused on sol only and had nothing else going on for him.
Episodes 10 onwards were kind of a drag. The ending become kind of predictable . Anyhow i did enjoyed the music and the comedy.
