The story gets blurred in the middle
Before i'm complaining this drama, i would to say about the good aspect of this drama,Good aspect:
1. They build base of this story so good, come from child abuse, childhood trauma from each father, but one still getting the positive mind meanwhile the other trying to swallow bitter reality. They empathize their feeling and helping each other. I fall in love with this drama because this background.
2. The positivity seo mok ha have, impossible one's have positive minds like mok ha, but they add reality to mok ha minds so it became possible about mok ha character, she know her dream is so unstable but she still want to try because the hardship of her 15 years will be nothing. Many people want her to stop imagine and pursuing her dream but ALWAYS male lead always being her supporter number one ^^
3. Mysterious Jung Ki Ho, after separated for 15 years, seo mok ha trying to find jung ki ho, a boy that encourage her to pursue her dream, also help her to set her free from her father. How the audience have to guess who ki ho is, with all the hint that seo mok ha get, it's so exciting ^^ I've waited each week just to know about who jung ki ho is.
That's it, that are 3 charming points for me
NOW, time for revealing lacking points + my complain.....
1. The chemistry of leads, actually i can't feel romance feeling in Jung ki ho and Seo mok ha, their feeling comes from empathy right? sharing same hurt feeling from their trauma, guilty, and comfort. But how they falling in love with each other I DO NOT feel that at all, suddenly Jung ki ho said he still loves her for 15 years and Seo mok ha feel same, ikr who is the crazy that still wait for ones if it's not love but HOW?? HOW THEY FALLING IN LOVE?? THEY FALLING IN LOVE BECAUSE THEIR ABUSIVE FATHER?? THEY FALLING IN LOVE BECAUSE THEY WILL RUNAWAY TOGETHER?? THEY FALLING IN LOVE BECAUSE MISSING EACH OTHER?? WHYYYY..... I can't feel at all, this is the most dissapointed part for me T_T
2. Screentime of the leads, scene ki ho and mok ha together to be lovey dovey couple OHMYGOD i can count it with my fingers T_T Indeed, this drama about how mok ha pursuing her dream BUT she have loveline with ki ho, i craving their lovey dovey scene, how they develop each other feeling from teenager's love to adult's love, they didn't explain this at all T_T
3. Love triangle with Woo Hak, i know it will be disgusting shit if brothers fight for a woman, but how woo hak falling love with mok ha, how he know his feeling is dangerous, and how he conclude his feeling is just like a flash, they explained woo hak's feeling in some scene :( i want it to be more little dramatic hahahaha it will be interesting though hahahahaha (ignore this point)
4. I don't know about this, but people made me realize, in the middle of the story, the story move to yoon ran joo, Seo mok ha just to get her dream via yoon ran joo, seo mok ha admire yoon ran joo is undeniable but how seo mok ha is depending to yoon ran joo is just not right, although i enjoyed yoon ran joo story too, but many people not satisfied about this point. the story get blurred about the lead character. Also seo mok ha had struggle about her debut, but she doesn't have struggle after that? climbing chart one by one is normal for rookie artist, i mean why her rival is just eun mo rae? i want more drama about her struggle after debut but nothing, she straight to the top.
Overall, i can conclude the story like this, these 12 episode were divided in 3 part, seo mok ha getting used from 15 years in desserted island to pursuing her dream, revealing Kang Bo Geol and his family identity also his problem with his father, Yoon ran joo achieve 20 million album selling, still the most disappointed part is lacking of lovey dovey part ki ho and mok ha :(

IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS, BINGE THEM, SPARE YOUR TIME FOR 13 EPISODE STRAIGHT
I looooveeeeee sooo muuuuuuccchhhhhhh about Alice Ko and Greg Hsu ActingI tell you one by one
Alice Ko : How she is talking, How she is running, How she is looking its so brilliant i can distinguish the character so well (except the last episode :( but it show how well she is make me confuse at the end)
Greg Hsu : I love how the character that he showing after the time, i will divide 3 zone about his timeline. And i love how he display the burden and emotion from each character, the expression and the way he talking it's soooooo much good to see
Honestly at first i saw this drama, i dont think it's as good as people talking but after 30 minutes i slowly smiling through the episodes. I'm so in love about the character, all of the character have background story, they explain each character especially Mo Jun Jie i love his character so much, ican't explained but i think he is simple but complicated at the same time :)

ALL SCENE WILL GIVE YOU BUTTERFLIES
I would give 8 for the story because it's not complicated plot but still interesting, meanwhile point of this story is how they (FL and ML) fall in love and get through ML problems. The only thing i learned from this drama is how billiard game is played. Chinese have done all the variety sports in their dramas.ALL CAST, ALL OF THEM i would give 10.... because they all so exceptional handsome. But sometimes i get awkward feeling with ML acting not because the flirty scene, i think ML expression is just feel empty sometimes but he is handsome :) (He was forgiven)
Tbh i don't really get the story with first 3 episode (the reason why you had to watched this more than once), and get sulky with those flirty from ML because i envy with FL (don't mind me).
If you don't mind or searching for lovely poisonous sweet scene, I recommend you!!

What if they don't have time loop like the drama
I read somewhere, someone says that this version film is a continuation the series. So i decided to watch the series first then the film version. And Yes. So many parts that you will not know about what happened if you're not watch the series version. But I think I would say the parallel universe..... Because if you seeing deep on the character, it slightly different. I watch this film version right after the series, and i hope something that missing in the series will be shown in this movie. But then again it's adapted the series not continuation So i slightly dissapointed about the plot but if you want watch the film ver, I suggest you to take a break from the series to the film ver.And I'm so in love with Mo Jun Jie, but in the film ver i feel like he is an extra :(

I WANT IT TO BE 16 EPISODE TT_TT
First of all, i think i would be dissapointed if the drama end 12 episode poorly like the other famous 12 episode drama :( but i hope not.4 episode, they build base of the story not strong enough, base story in joseon was explained too fast, so there are many missing part and flashback story, but i expect it would be explained between the storyline, because time travel always have story like this, explained back and forth.
Strange enough, the chemistry between mainleads like oil and water, it's separated but you can't detached each other easily.
Lee se young build her own character very well, rebellious woman in joseon era who missing her husband. Her unique character sometimes doesn't look well with Bae in hyuk but you want it more and more. I think i just need more their lovey dovey scene in joseon era T_T
Bae in hyuk definitely looks so handsome in hanbok (no one allowed to debate this), being an old bachelor, it doesn't matter at all, i would be in love being your bride hahahahaha >w< sorry.
But in modern times, bae in hyuk looks had lacking CEO aura, i can't distinguish his character with his step brother. His expression when have to act as CEO to fight his enemy that want to steal his position, i think it still minus, i expected tense scene between him and his enemy but i don't feel at many his "fight" scene. Sometimes it destroy my imagination when he had to act as CEO, but i love when lee se young lead the love story (chef's kiss), bae in hyuk can delivers his confused emotion very well.
Furthermore, the story line getting interesting in each episode, i don't feel boring too long, i genuinely waiting each episode with my sparkling eyes, time travel joseon to modern never fails, the clumsiness of joseon people to modern things never failed made me laugh. (A little spoiler, tbh i confused why lee se young character adapt so well with smartphone hahahaha)
Addition, if you had watched old drama "Rooftop Prince" starred Park Yoo Chun and Han Ji Min, i think The Story of Park's Marriage Contract is similar with that old drama. You allowed to have a good expectation romcom with this drama.
