This drama is the perfect example of "You don't know what you have until it's gone" and "The grass isn't always greener on the other side"

Plot

Everyone is pointing out the similarities between Go Back Couple and this one. And yes,in the beginning they're definitely similar but to be honest,Familiar wife can't be compared to GBC. That drama was worth a perfect 10 and this wasn't (it's just my honest opinion)
So the plot isn't really unique and it has some flaws,it got boring from time to time and i wish it was shorter. They should've ended it around episode 13. I think they dragged the story too much (episodes 13,14 & 15 were just fillers) to the point i wanted to start a whole new drama and watch this one later. The writers also left a couple of questions unanswered.
But overall it's not like i didn't enjoy it,i actually did. I liked that it highlighted well the fact that most marriages and relationships aren't perfect and that you should learn to communicate better and have a good teamwork to make it work and not fall apart. Also, the ending was perfect. I'm glad i could see how all the characters lived before, during and after the changes.

Acting

The acting is a 10. The cast did a wonderful job and Ji Sung never disappoints.
Some of the characters are gonna get on your nerves. A LOT. But this drama has such an amazing character development. You can see it through all of the episodes. And it's really satisfactory.

So,it's not a drama that i will be remembering forever. It failed in making me feel excited until the end. And as a drama binger,i don't really recommend watching this all at once. (If you're like me and get bored easily...) But i do recommend it if you like time travelling dramas and amazing acting.

Well,this was worth her money. I would've spend 30,000$ on food while travelling.
To be honest,Han Seung Yeon is not my favourite actres ,perhaps because all of her characters are the kind of type that makes the viewer feel annoyed but i didn't mind her as much in this one.
The plot and the acting isn't worth a perfect 10 but it was one of those dramas that i truly enjoyed even if it had it's flaws. There were a lot of comedic scenes that cracked me up. I mean,drama parodies are a win in every plot,so it was great that they added a lot.
The romance is short and it left me wanting more so that's why i think the ending could've been a little more extended to make the viewers more emotional but neverthless for being a short mini web drama,it was a cute and refreshing story.

As much as i love Kai and Park Eunbin, this was dreadful.
This drama was packed with cliché and cringy scenes. (I was already expecting this because it's a web drama) but this was too much for my body.
I honestly had some spare time in my hands(and no internet) so i just kinda finished it.
The plot was basic and unorganized,there's not really much to it,i'll forget everything in like 2 days. And the romance is practically non existent. I'm not even gonna talk about the lack of chemistry...everything felt rushed.
And WE DIDN'T EVEN GET A PROPER KISS FOR GODS SAKE. That's why sometimes i don't like watching dramas with idols. The writers make decisions that won't anger the fans but that's what makes me even more annoyed. I just wanted a good proper kiss.

Overall,if you love dramas with a corny plot and you don't mind bad acting (Park Eunbin was great,but not the rest of the cast),you should give it a try.

I WANT AND NEED MORE. CAN YOU HEAR ME WRITERS AND DIRECTORS?!

*calm down* So...i think i loved this mini drama more than i thought. I wasn't really expecting much from this because it's a korean web drama,and let's be honest not many of them are great...or as great for a perfect 10.
But this one...you know that exciting feeling when you find a perfect drama for you? I got that feeling in the first 20 minutes. And when i finished it,i wanted to cry,not because it had a sad ending but because i knew i wasn't going to see these characters again.
I swear,this should've been at least 8 episodes long (each one an hour,just so i could be satisfied enough). I mean i can even list you a long ass list of things that i loved and hopefully they would make anyone watch this

-The plot is unique and light
-It has a bunch of funny and witty scenes so you're 100% gonna laugh
-The female lead is excellent and SO RELATABLE (i'm bad at math too girl,don't worry)
-The male lead is eye candy (How can you not love Yoon Doo Joon )
-The acting in general is on point. The cast was just perfect for this and you can feel their chemistry
-If you don't like historical dramas,don't worry,you're gonna like this one.

Overall,if you haven't watched it yet i truly recommend it. I enjoyed every second of it and i want to rewatch it again soon.

This was a drama that wasn't 100% bad, but neither good. The writers lost me somewhere around the 7th-8th episode. I think my 6 year old cousin would write a better plot than this one. I was able to skip the last episodes and still follow the story.
It just got boring. Also,the main lead was bland,i didn't really care for him,i loved Hongbin as the second lead but his character was pointless,the female lead was okay and the grandmas were funny but honestly annoying at times.
The only great thing was the skinship and the light romance. That's why i stayed until the end. But again,i found myself disappointed. It was rushed.

Overall,this drama had a nice fresh concept but it was poorly developed.

--- At one point in life, we begin to take something for granted because we get comfortable and used to them. We live on considering the kindness of our love and the happiness we have are something we deserve and take them for granted. But we only realize this after we lose everything. Even someone's existence itself was not supposed to be taken for granted. ---


My heart is aching,i can't believe how much i loved this drama. I started the first episode thinking this one might be worth dropping after a couple of episodes but hell to the no. I binge watch it and it was one of the best decisions i've made.
The storyline was written brilliantly and every episode had me captivated until the end. This drama will teach you about life, friendship, and love. And the most important thing,it shows how we take family for granted and it re-discovers love in its layers and layers of depth.
I cried buckets of tears,i honestly thought i was going to drown at some point( i haven't cried like this since Goblin) but it also made me smile and laugh until my cheeks hurt. This series was packed with excellence work of art.

Also,i liked the main lead but Second lead syndrome was too strong in this one,be aware!

Overall,i think this drama just doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's full of lessons that we all should know in life. Just watch it and be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster filled with laughter, tears, and those deep and real moments that touch you to your core. Definitely worth watching!!

I'm writing this review with tears in my eyes and my nose running...WHY THE FREAKING HELL HAVEN'T I WATCHED THIS DRAMA BEFORE

I really need a season 2. I did not expect it would be the way it was,i didn't even expect to cry. Both actors and actresses made the drama so real and emotionally accurate.Hands down Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun are one of the bests out there. And i'm not even talking about the plot...WHAT AN AMAZING MASTERPIECE . I'm dreaming on marrying a korean,but f this idea. NOW I NEED A KOREAN ALIEN.
And I don't even watch sci fi dramas or movies,but this was perfect. It had that twist of sci fi but it wasn't overwhelming at all.

So overall,this is a quality drama that is definitely worth watching. Visually stunning, at times absolutely hilarious, and at other times, deeply touching. *YOU ARE MYYY DEEEESTINYYY*

I had really high expectations with this drama. And i have to be honest,the first half of the drama was pretty average for me. Ji Sung was absolutely wonderful and i don't have anything bad to say about him,his acting was wonderful and i loved every character he displayed. It's not easy to portray seven different characters and he freaking did it but Hwang Jung Eum always has childish roles and i don't understand why. She was the same in "She was pretty",a really anxious and loud character. And i don't like characters like that,they might be funny but it gets to a point when they're really annoying.

But I was definitely pleasantly surprised with the last 3-4 episodes. I really loved the plot twist! My mouth was hanging with surprise.

Overall,it's not really the best drama i've ever watched but it was enjoyable.

Things i liked:

The cast was absolutely flawless. They managed to express everything perfectly and that made this drama 100x better. I have huge admiration for Seo Kang Joon,playing two different characters is truly hard but he did it effortlessly.
The plot was interesting and unique. It wasn't a typical robot "turn into human/is actually a human" story and that surprised me. The drama was equal parts lovable, action packed,hilarious, and touching.
Also,the OST was one of my fav so far. I would definitely listen to it on my free time.

Things i disliked:

The last 2-3 episodes. Some plot scenes were dragged a little bit and the ending felt rushed and left me with a lot of questions. I feel like 15 minutes were missing. The writers could've explored more and present us a more detailed and extended ending.

Overall,it was a really enjoyable drama,it had a great balance of light and heavy moments, intriguing storyline and amazing acting. I would recommend watching this.

So...where's season 2? I badly need one.

This drama had a perfect mix of seriousness and comedy. I can't believe how much i enjoyed and laughed everytime the characters did something silly and unpredictable.
The action was good, but there wasn't a lot of romance and I somehow feel that we didn't really needed more of it. I mean,i was more focused on the missions and i didn't even think about the leads kissing or even hugging. This is a first in a drama. It was wrapped nicely and i wasn't mad at all.

Overall,it was a pleasant watch and one of the best dramas of 2018. 100% recommend!

What a journey! The plot captivated me since the first episode,i really didn't know i liked thrillers so much. But i do!
And kudos to the cast,i was amazed by their acting. The main leads weren't actually my fav but the rest of the cast,oh my god! The kids were absolutely flawless,i was impressed by the fact that they were almost identical to the adults. And i can't wait to see them in further dramas.

My only complain about this is that the main leads had some pretty cringy moments. And some scenes were dragged too much. The pacing is important to keep the audience's attention and halfway through the drama,i felt a little bit bored. BUT that phase only lasted a couple of episodes and i managed to finish it with a high rating. I know many people complained about the "brutality" but i honestly loved it. It's what made this drama interesting and intense till the end.

Overall,it was a beautiful and poignant drama,and i would definitely recommend it even if thrillers aren't your thing.
