Let me start about my saying I am a huge romantic. It doesn"t take much for me khổng lồ root for a couple and I almost always with very few exceptions root for the endgame OTP from the beginning until the end. I usually don"t watch dramas that don"t seem lớn promise much romance. However I started this one not expecting it to lớn be a very thắm thiết drama, it was not advertised lượt thích it would be. I started it because I"m a tín đồ of Yoon Shi Yoon and because I was interested in the plot và the teasers looked very funny. I"m a huge Kpop tín đồ with an interest in the history of Kpop & it"s beginnings in the mid-to-late 1990"s, so the drama being about both struggling modern day idol trainees và a 90"s idol vị trí cao nhất star who travels lớn the future sounded right up my alley. I also was intrigued by the father-son connection & I"m a sucker for good heartwarming family drama especially of the "Surprise, You"re a Daddy" variety. So I was expecting a drama about struggles of youth in music industry, friendship, family, comedy, và maybe just a dash of romance. At first I really loved this drama, I was raving about it everywhere, convincing everyone I could to lớn watch it. The thing that shined the most in the early episodes was the comedy, it was gold! The jokes were rapid fire, I still remember many of them and laugh. But even in all the other aspects I was not disappointed at all. I shipped Ji-hoon and Woo-seung, because I found his crush on her really cute và he was such a nice guy. Woo-seung was the only thing that was a little disappointing at first, I liked her character, but the acting was pretty bad imo and I usually don"t complain about acting, but here it was sometimes distractingly bad. But even though I shipped them và thought the drama was maybe setting them up to be endgame, I was fine with them not ending up together and didn"t expect the drama lớn focus much on this romance aspect. I did not see Hyun-jae & Woo-seung as a possibility at all, I found it a bit gross because of the Hyun-jae likely being Ji-hoon"s biological dad, so he"d be ending up with his son"s crush. I really truly did not think the writers would go there. Sure there were signs in the beginning lượt thích the kisses, but those were clearly jokes, so I didn"t take them seriously. I wish I did.It wasn"t until episode 17-18 that I started lớn realize the drama was not going the way I wanted or expected it lớn go. Maybe I should have realized earlier, but when Hyun-jae cuts his hair to lớn a modern hairstyle ditching the glorious 90"s hair he had before, I finally understood that he was going to lớn be the thắm thiết lead & this was going to be a rom-com from that point onward, not the sit-com like feel it had before. He was no longer going khổng lồ be an entertaining comedic character with many flaws but a huge heart, but just a bland male lead as bland as his modern hairstyle with no personality to speak of. Suddenly there was a love triangle between father & son over a girl. I normally am not fond of love triangles, but this one was uniquely horrible. Và that girl once a competent independent woman was reduced khổng lồ a helpless damsel in distress who acted completely illogically just so two boys could fight over "saving" her. For several episodes it was literally a competition between the two men over who could be their first to lớn save her, with the episode ending on a cliffhanger of them both running to lớn save. It made no sense, but Hyun-jae won the contest by saving her the most times so therefore they became a couple or something. I don"t know, they had no chemistry and the story did nothing to cosplay for that. The leads having feelings for each other was just told lớn us, but never shown, so when they get together it"s sudden. Oh and the cliches, oh the romance cliches. Early on the drama was poking fun at them (a spinning accidental kiss in a car where they pan out and show that the oto is actually inexplicably spinning). But then it plays them painfully straight not an ounce of comedy left, I cringed so many times. I"m fine with these cliches sometimes, when there is chemistry & a believable build up, but this was a relationship built entirely on cliches, that was nothing but cliches, with no depth or true romance at all. In the kết thúc it becomes a mediocre or even bad rom-com (and very light of the comedy for that matter), not the amazing sit-com/variety/family drama it was in the first half. All the other characters và plots are thrown lớn the wayside in favor of the lead"s boring romance, a romance so bland that the blandness rubs onto everyone else including the leads who no longer feel like the actual characters but merely placeholders in an execise of how (not) khổng lồ write kdrama romance. After episode 22 I finally dropped this drama, only lớn read recaps for the rest of the episodes và watch the last few episodes. I still foolishly held out hope that maybe it could recapture a bit of the magic it had in the beginning, but each recap just seemed worse và worse. When I picked it up again I did not feel like I missed anything, the time-travel mystery was obvious khổng lồ me from the beginning, the father/son connection that had so much promise in the beginning (and was presented as the main plot initially) amounted to essentially nothing (utterly ruined by the love triangle), all the other side plots and side characters got peanuts in the end. Even Ji-hoon, arguably the protagonist in the first half, was reduced to side character in the second and therefore it no longer seemed necessary to give his character the proper development và story he deserved. From an ensemble cast with so much potential, to focusing exclusively on the main leads (and really only the male lead, since the female lead"s development was abandoned và she became nothing more than his girlfriend in the end). Maybe it would"ve worked okay if the main leads were as interesting as they were in the beginning, but no, everything và I mean everything had to lớn be sacrificed for the sake of the OTP. And since these two characters were utterly incompatible romantically in the beginning they had to lớn become different, very boring people in the over to make it work.Had I reviewed this drama when I first watched in while it was still airing, I probably would"ve given it one star because I was so frustrated & disappointed with how it turned out. Now with a lot of time passed since I watched it I feel a rating right in the middle is perfect. The first half was maybe the best thing ever, the second half was close to the worst thing ever. It was a classic bait-and-switch. The writers knew what they were doing. Maybe they did it because of audience feedback (lots of knetz complaining about the lack of romance và YSY no getting "enough" screentime) or maybe they intended it from the start. I don"t really care either way. I felt cheated & betrayed. Some people will be okay with the bait-and-switch, some will probably even enjoy the second half more. I vày not understand those people. If you just really wanted lớn watch a rom-com, watch a good one, not the pathetic attempt at one this drama has. So in the end, all I can recommend is maybe the first half of this drama if you are okay with leaving things hanging và just want khổng lồ laugh. Other than that I cannot recommend it.
