My Thoughts:

I absolutely was hesitant to start another K-Drama, because I had watched only one before this.

A lil overview about me – I used to be afraid of the series or movies or books that might make me cry. I am an emotional person and I have little threshold to hold my emotions in. So, if the gates of the dam opens, there is gonna be a flood trust me. I overcame that fear because there were a lot of good series/ movies/ books I was missing out on. And, now here I am!

Coming back to the series, I have never seen such a new concept being bought to life. I mean, this is a whole other level WOW. Having watched too many romantic movies and rom-coms but, this one was completely new. I was completely surprised. I loved the dual era / black hole / comic book concepts used in this. Coming to the characters, I loved how everyone was in school, but they were so mature.

Eun Dan-oh has a new place in my heart which can never be replaced. I loved how she always was so brave and dedicated/invested in all her relationships. She was way too kind with everyone. Even though she was wronged by Baek Kyung, she always stood by him no matter what. I loved a side character named Lee Do-hwa, I loved how funny that character was and how he used to cheer Eun Dan-oh everytime she was worried. She had a real friend in him. I rooted for him to get his love however, I am really sad for what happened in the end. Baek Kyung was a person with the personality of a d-bag. I felt bad for him because in both the era’s he lost his mother. But, he could have let it go and moved on with his life – which he did not and it bugged me a lot. He could have been a very decent character otherwise. Nam-ju and Yeo Joo-da – were hilarious and typical. I loved the way Dan-oh and Do-hwa used to make fun of them when they were “on-stage.”

Coming to Ha-Ru: My heart beats for this character. I have cried my eyes out for him. When he used to smile, I could not describe how I felt. I am obsessed with Ha-Ru and I will always look for him. He was the sweetest tough guy I have met. He was loving and also ready to fight with anyone to protect the one he loved. And, let me tell you I am really jealous of the girl he loved, I wish it was me. If I can crush on someone for the rest of my life, it will be Ha-Ru.

Let me tell you there is no single reason that I can give you to watch this series. But, I guarantee it that you will fall in love with some characters for the rest of your life. If you are new to the world of K-Drama – trust me this is the one series for you to get you anchored to this world.

If you have already watched it, lemme know in the comments below.
