Sadly not for me
Everybody seems to love this show (as shown by the very high rating on here) and based on the premise it had EVERYTHING I love and thus it should've been perfect for me.
Sadly I didn't love this show.
Firstly, let's talk about some of the things that I personally loved:
● The deaf representation I thought was wonderfully done imo and they also didn't fall into some clichés that I personally despise.
● I loved Yi-chan, his relationship with his grandma and the band.
● Cheong-ah storyline was my favourite and I loved her character.
● I think they handled the themes of depression and suicide quite well and I was impressed by some of the conversations that were being had.
● Also I thought they way generational trauma was hanndles in the show was really nice.
● Tge parents relations in the present and in the past was the cutest and I love it, I genuinely would've loved a mini series just on their original timeline story.
Now let's mention some of the things I didn't enjoy:
● For almost the whole show I just couldn't stand Se-kyung, I was constantly annoyed by her and just couldn't find her likeable at all. As I said I did enjoy some of the themes that were explored through her character but because I was just so annoyed by her for more than half of the show, it became hard to enjoy the show itself when she's one of the main characters.
● After a while I just stopped being interest in the story and the characters, it just didn't manage to keep my attention. The plot itself to me just felt a bit too predictable and like many other time travel stories we've seen a thousand times so it was the characters job to keep me engaged, however, past a certain point, the characters and their relationships and stories just weren't strong enough for me to care.
● I personally hate the ending. I don’t want to spoil anything but yeah, just didn't like the rout they decided to go with.
