This drama will make you laugh and cry.

I took my time watching this drama but overall it was pretty good! The story was good, the acting was good and the plot twists were good too!
I'll start with what I didn't like (which isn't much actually):

-The female lead flip flopped with her feelings way too much. One minute she liked the male lead, the next she hated him, the next she liked him, the next she hated him. Luckily this only goes on for a couple of episodes.
-In the beginning the second male lead comes off as pushy and strange in the sense that because he likes the female lead he somehow has the right to be weirdly possessive of her.

What I did like about the drama:

-The time travelling plot was a great plot device to contrast between the two different worlds they go between.
-The character development in this show is really spectacular. They do it in a way that doesn't feel forced or rushed. The female lead's character development was my favourite because she goes from being harsh to being patient and warm hearted.
-I don't usually cry but this drama made me sob!
-Although there were parts that were hard to watch because of how painful it was, this drama is mainly light hearted and funny. The male lead embodies this and it's what sticks out for me about the drama.

I have quite a bit to say about this drama.

So firstly overall, the drama isn't bad. I didn't go into the drama thinking it was going to be extremely accurate. So I'm going to talk about it as fiction rather than as history although there was history thrown in (of course).

What I liked about the drama:

-The friendships in this drama were pretty compelling. I found myself smiling a whole lot at how genuine it felt.
-I enjoyed Park Seo Joon's character. He was like an underdog and that made me root for him even more. I found his storyline a lot more interesting than Ji Dwi's story. Just based off of how they did it.

What I didn't like about this drama:

-The love triangle was awful and in my opinion it was gross and uncomfortable. This might be a spoiler so you might want to go on to the next bullet... but... I felt as if Ji Dwi forced himself onto Ah Ro (more emotionally than physically) which made me uncomfortable. I don't understand how I was supposed to like his character when they literally wrote that in for him.
-Ji Dwi had protentional but the love triangle made him look bad and he started acting sus at some point.
-The flashbacks happen way too much in this drama. I skipped so many because it was like "I GET IT!!!!" It felt like I was being reminded every couple of minutes.
-The drama should have focused more on the friendships and other people's stories rather than the love triangle. It wasted time.

The drama overall was good. At some point I was brought to tears but there are certain bits about it that almost made it unbearable to watch at the same time.
