romance that transcends centuries and the longing that spans light-years apart
This drama truly deserves every bit of its massive fan following and even more. It's hands down one of the most beautifully crafted stories out there.
Why I liked it:
1. Captivating plot: It maintains a steady momentum, with only a few lows but significantly more highs.
2. Outstanding cast: Kim Soo Hyun is an exceptional talent—words can't fully capture how phenomenal he is as an actor. While I'm not necessarily a fan of Jun Ji Hyun, I still enjoyed watching her performance. The rest of the cast was equally impressive.
3. A unique ending: Some might find the ending unsatisfactory, but I personally enjoyed it. Having read several stories with similar conclusions, like Gakuen Alice, I used to find such endings disheartening. However, over the years, I've matured to appreciate the depth of bittersweet conclusions. That said, I can’t deny that a part of me still wished for a more satisfying closure for the main characters.
4. A timeless love story: The romance that transcends centuries and the longing that spans light-years apart was incredibly moving.
5. The comedic relief: The humor added a sparkle to the parts where the story momentarily lost its momentum.
Areas where the story could have been improved:
1. Vague time-travel mechanism: There's little explanation of how he plans to travel back. Like, okay, here's a comet... now what? Am I supposed to throw a rope around it or just stand in front of it? At least provide some clarity!
2. Weak investigative elements: The writer seems to have limited knowledge of prosecution and detective work. The investigation scenes came off as lackluster.
3. A poorly developed female lead: The female protagonist's character felt weak and somewhat irrelevant. She didn’t contribute significantly to the story from start to finish.
4. Boring flashbacks: The scenes set in the past were quite tedious. I initially watched a few but soon realized they didn’t add much value to the plot, so I skipped them.
Lastly, the background music was delightful. Every time I rewatch this drama, its soundtrack keeps playing in my head for days afterward.
