The idea is to take these characters that we all know collectively and try to find things about them that we haven't explored before. Either the writer was running out of ideas or had too much ideas but couldn't cram them all up in those few episodes left I'm not sure if this makes sense.
I just felt that there were some issues that were created unnecessarily when they could have filled it in with something else. It wasn't horrible, but I definitely wouldn't watch it again because it was simply boring during the second half. Nikki Jul 12 Lee Sung Kyun's character was very frustrating and I sometimes wanted to shake her and knock some sense into her. I really hope Lee Sung Kyung gets better roles than this because she deserves much better! Many people watched this drama and stopped after some episodes but I'm glad I stayed till the end.
This drama is going to be one of my favourite kdramas all the time. The basic concept of how we use time in our lives may have had potential, but the screenwriter s and the director could not do anything interesting with it. The excellent actors acted professionally. They did their best and gave us some good moments.
But they could not rescue the weak, disjointed script. When the plot was at a dead-end, new characters popped-up out of nowhere. At the end of a drama, the final two episodes of a drama often show in a sharp light the qualities of screenwriters and the skills of directors. In great dramas such as "Mother" or "Rain or Shine", the final two episodes bring the entire story to a beautiful, moving close.
The same is also true of good comedies about today's life. And we feel good. So, in the last episode they serve us a messy pile of short clips from the previous 15 eps.

Who will feel good with that? Ben Jul 11 1: We must see it ourselves because everyone has different taste. John Jul 11 1: Huhu makes me cry alot. HHZ Jul 11 7: In the first few episodes, they were good, because we will be intrigued with a new concept of people can look through a life's clock. But the drama itself doesn't use this concept as a whole.
In later episodes, they were too draggy, tiresome, and boring. We couldn't even feel the love sparks between the leads. To consider that Sang Hyun and Sung Kyung are talented artistes, this drama is actually bringing them down.

The only thing that I had always been looking forward to, was only Rowoon's character who's much fluffier than the leads. Friez Jul 11 4: It was nice though! I want to hear it more and more. Sal Jul 10 9: The concept time of the drama is very good and creative 2. The beginning episodes are interesting and it becomes more interesting when they show the times changing 3.
Personally, I don't believe the concept was portrayed very well as it could have been 2. There are many questions left blank that could have been answered if the drama did not focus on unnecessary little plots in the drama 3. However, after watching it, I have to admit I was very disappointed as many things did not make sense and the concept could have been portrayed better.
I do not recommend this drama. Immy Jul 10 6: Firstly, i was so close to stop watching this drama half way through ep 16 because i honestly thought Lee Do Ha was going to die. I couldn't bear the thought of a sad ending because through out the drama, there are sad parts that i cried to. So the fact that Lee do Ha was alive and it was a happily ever after really put me of guard. The ending, plot and cast were all amazing. And I have to say, this drama did pretty well even though they had to re film parts due to the drop out of Lee So Won.
Definitely one of my favourite dramas. Sophie Jul 09 7: Val Jul 09 1: I was super disappointed in this drama which is a complete letdown and total waste of Lee Sang Yoon, Lee Sung Kyung and Dongjun's talents. Firstly the concept of this drama when it was introduced sounded intriguing with the idea of seeing people's life clocks. The minor characters, especially Mika's family are annoying and take up a lot of the screen time. Also Seungyeon as an actress, I don't really buy her acting - she's weak. I get her character is supposed to be the main character's annoying airhead bestfriend but she overexaggerates her lines and facial expressions way too much to the point you can spot the fake and see she's trying waaaay too hard.
Honestly I would skip the drama all together. I haven't completely dropped it as I want to see how the ending pans out, but you can do what I've been doing and just skip around the irrelevant characters parts in each episode lol. Family trying to mooch off the main character, Love interest's family of the main-character disapprove of their relationship and step in to make the girl miserable, and the love interest's past love and the main characters rival come around and stirs up drama.
And the main couples parts which altogether is maybe 20 minutes the max at most. Luna Jul 08 Lee sung kyung is the best actress i ever watched JAC Jul 07 Taking their time away because of love. I wish those two will be paired up in another drama again because they deserved better than this mess And honestly, 9 years isn't even so bad of an age gap??
Goblin couple had 12 years, I think? Sunshine has 21 years Age is just a number. JAC Jul 03 2: Sorry, but she is not a good actress. JAC Jun 26 8: Mika time is running out slowly and like she said old woman in a young lady body. JAC Jun 26 6: Unfortunately the show is not about her but Mika! JAC Jun 22 Syifa Jun 21 5: JAC Jun 19 5: Main cast have moved on to other productions and projects.
It symbolizes quite a lot if you try to understand deeper. I'd be in the same position as Mi Ka who doesn't know what to do Let's go team About Time!! I'm so sad with this week's episodes. I'm not going to fully watch it until I see that there are happy moments again. I need more sweet scenes with our main couple.
Mi Ka pushed him away and she had to twist the truth! I hope they won't drag this on until the end. I hope everything will be solved by next week. Do Ha needs to know the truth! I just want to see how the end will turn out. The fantasy element is what's keeping me interested. D Lee T Jun 19 8: JAC Jun 18 7: We all knew she would leave him. JAC Jun 17 5: It is unfortunately that this melodrama is losing people interests in it. JAC Jun 16 2: Sue Jun 15 8: I am addicted to that man. I can feel that it's going to be a tough ending to handle. They're actually nailing their roles. I hope this show will be given more appreciation because it deserves so much more.
Anne Jun 13 5: I hate the dad and the older brother. Song Jun 13 2: JAC Jun 13 6: She see that her life increases while his clock decreases. This is reality Mika because you trade for love in a relationship. Fighting for you Mika and Doha or? And I do realize lately kdrama been about or related to mistress. Iris chen Jun 12 JAC Jun 12 9: What a basket case.
No heart or soul Rich girl. Kal Jun 12 1: One of the best drama! Guiltypleasure Jun 11 JAC Jun 10 5: What more could a lady want from a 30 something man. I approve of you Lee Sang Yoon!

Mei Jun 07 The white one with pink outlines, the one where she was wearing with red shoes that she gave to the female lead along with other brand name items to 'bribe' her to go away? I fell in love with it at first sight, I wanna have a closer, proper look but there's no clear shot of the dress.

I truly I'm crazy for this drama and the lead characters are loving, fun, cute, funny and good at what they are doing.
Well Lee Sung- Kyung never seize to impress me since I saw her acting in cheese in the trap I've been so impressed. I also love the smile of Im Se-Mi. I hope she plays a lead character soon, I'm a fan. Lee Sang- Yoon not bad at all. I think I'll add you to the list of Korean male actors I love. Irene May 31 The story so exciting. Jac May 31 5: As a mini series Lee Sung Kyung should get an award.
It's a matter of acting skills and charisma and charms. Unknown May 30 I'm just hoping that the lead actor will be a lot younger because its doesn't suit the actress. Daylight May 30 2: The visuals are delicate and the leads relationship is so innocent. This may be the less popular opinion but I actually think Sungkyung and Sangyoon look good together.
He's older but mature and I think that really suits her. I really like this drama. Vivi May 30 2: The story and acting are superb. One thing I like about it is that the actors are not trying to look so cute and they act naturally which is really great. Also both lead actors are my favorites and story line is perfect. Really really love this series. Klover May 30 1: Something really bad and nasty is about to happen Anna May 29 9: Sucks this drama has a lot of potential but I'm really picky when it comes to lead actors Maria cherra May 29 Caisy Liew May 29 2: Ross May 29 Silvia May 28 I cant stop smiling while watched it?

But I'm falling in love with the musical song ': Amie May 24 6: I felt like the writer got bits of pieces of the drama from here and there and made it into one. The leads are also both lacking. It seems subpar overall. Leena May 23 Claire May 23 6: Can't wait for each weeks for the new episodes: A worthy watch drama.
Hope writer-nim make a great ending. Ophelia May 23 4: I am very satisfied with the casts as well. Leads are doing good, side characters too. They previously acted together on "Last Minute Romance" if you didn't know! Guiltypleasure May 23 3: Sung Kyung's expression when just looking at that ahjumma and ahjussi really perfect, it made me sink into touching situation.
Rachel May 23 3: Le Do-Ha's character would have suited a much younger actor better but Lee Sang Yoon gives a feel to the character that makes him more realistic That being said, the drama is good with an amazing plot.. The acting is not up to the level I expected but I certainly gave feels to the show Fighting About Time team. Mia May 23 2: I can not believe tvn produce such a 'common' drama like this, the story tho.
The acting is so unnatural. I expect it can be better than tomorrow with you, but yeah I just don't like it. It was just wasted my time. I still hope next episodes are so much better than this.
