The first-half & the second-half of this show are so drastically different in presentation & story-telling, that i feel inclined to seperate the review & rating for each part. The first-half is very interesting & has good-character development. I genuinely felt interested in the plot, and the excellent chemistry & unusual attraction between the lead male & female characters. The show keeps a decent pace & spark through this phase & recieves a 9/10 from me.
Now the second half was where everything fall apart. The director was trying to be unpredictable, and ends up ruining his own introduced concepts & relationships. There is an excess of dislikable plot-twists & things just don't seem to go in the right direction anymore. There are also plenty of goofs & obvious plot-holes present. This phase recieves a disappointing 7/10 for me.
Overall, i could even it out at 8/10, but the second-half left a poor after-taste in my mind, and hence, i cannot overlook it. This show had a lot of potential, but the director screwed it up for me. At least the ending isn't too bad, but left me wanting more.

No one can fault South Korean tv for airing such an ambitious science fiction show. Tv doesn't often mention Paul Dirac and
Schrödinger's cat. Thr first seven episodes are pacy with a fascinating time travel premise and one of the most 'unusual' sort of romance I've ever seen. But then everything changes with several huge plot twists and an ending that seems more like the writer just ran out of rod than something that makes sense. The intelligent writing and plot just gets confused and the characters seem to change personality without any reason.
Still oy's worth a try if nly to see how good science fiction can be made with minimal CGI.

Such complex and profound story line. It never gets boring. A marvelous mixture between crime, drama, sci-fi and action. Highly recommended!

A book called the prophecy tells how time travel is bought to a halt and this means people from the future need to get the book to prevent this. The main cast are a scientist and a policeman who both have a parent murdered whilst they are young, linked to a time travelling company called Alice. It is a well acted and clever drama with twists and turns and a complicated plot involving different dimensions. I am sure some time travelling purists will pick holes in the science behind the plot but to me it is a bit like astronomy in the fact I cannot get my head around it but do enjoy the ride.

The plot and premises are really captivating and promising.
The first 6-7 episodes were great, except for some useless or overdramatic lenghts.
But as the episodes go, the characters become more silly and dumb, I guess to increase the dramatic tension (most of the time overplayed, like most Korean TV shows).
I lost interested because of that, too bad cause that was a really interesting SF plot.

I created an account just to talk about this show.
The premise is interesting, but what let's the story down is the dumb & illogical decisions made by these supposedly super smart people.
I'm only half way through so will see how it goes
Even though the beginning was nice, the plot has became cheaper and emotional, there were lots of contradictions, which was annoying. A lot of unnecessary scenes, that has no place in the plot and the writers did not even try to connect these scenes to the main plot.
Motherhood praising was overwhelmingly exaggerated, women portrayed incapable and illogical even the smartest one is incapable of defending herself and making healthy choices.
Towards the end, the story became a twisted, cheesy and amateur version of dark, which is really disappointing. I mean this could be a nice series, just with adding a little bit of more science, cutting of 90% of the emotional scenes and creating an original plot.

It was a very nice surprise. Sadly what starts as a time travel story soon become a parallel universes story trying to avoid paradoxes due to time travel and at that moment the script loses much of its consistency. Writers of the story don't seem to understand fully the concept of infinite parallel universes and quickly they mess up what otherwise would be an entertaining series.
The first few episodes of this show are truly excellent. They con you into flushing a further 12 hours of your life away. The middle few episodes deteriorate into a soap-opera-worthy emotional dirge with all attempts at plot development suspended. Just as you are considering giving up and watching something else, the show senses this and feeds you just enough plot and action to push on to the end. At some point in this final episode you will realise there are only 10 minutes of the show left and nothing has actually been explained. 16 hours invested for an ending high on cheese and low on content with the main premise of the show glossed over? It's enough to make you want to go back in time and stop the show from being made...

This is an unusual series. I was not disappointed with this series at all. It was built around a prophecy that added that fantasy element that I enjoy a lot. What was most intriguing about this series is the question it asked regarding the relationship between the two leads Joo Won and Kim Hee-seon. Since this series used time travel as the main driver for the events, you'll definitely be left with a question that you never came across before. Even the writer himself was very careful or, in fact, uncapable of coming up with one. I believe that hurt the story a lot. You can easily feel how unwilling the writer was to give an answer and pretty much left it open even at the most important part of the series THE ENDING.
If you watched dark and want to see romantic version of it then this is for you.
One of the best science-fiction k-drama, but you still get the romance there, but with no kissing or sex scene ... sorry. This movie maybe for nerd, because there are so many quantum physics formula you can get and learn 😁
If you love Back to the Future movies, you'll be love this series! I guaranteed. 🤓

The actors must have gone through hundreds of cry sticks making this series, tears in every episode without fail.
However that doesn't make it a bad show, I really enjoyed it. Lots of plot twists to keep you guessing. The main actors played their parts to perfection. But its the non-main actors that seem to ham it up. The females are dipsy and the males are dimwits.
The big question that really needs answering though is, why is the time-travel headquarters called ALICE?

As a viewer of many well known shows like Breaking Bad, Sci-Fi such as Star Trek/Gate and some of the top notch anime from years passed..
I can say that this show is an absolute masterpiece. It's full of intrigue and suspense. They fantastically incorporate a lot of hilarious encounters between characters which only come about due to the situation they're in.
Each episode is a full hour long and is jam packed with perfectly timed content. The early part of the first episode completely threw me off with how this lovely story would develop.
If you can read subtitles and don't have the attention span of a toddler - you'll enjoy this. I think this show is the next best thing to Back to The Future. With some parallels one could draw.
Sure the CGI could be better and some cinematography taken down a notch. But this didn't impact how much I enjoyed the show.

Korean Drama '' Alice '' is a sci fi melodrama about time travel and family.
The drama has a strong start, with the mystery about the company behind the time travel being pretty thrilling and interesting. The time travel itself was entertaining as well.
The characters, in addition, were all enjoyable and had nice backstories.
However, the drama got pretty confusing in the final episodes. The time travel got messy and it was hard to understand the parallels between the characters. Thus, the relationship between the two main ones got weirder and weirder.
On the other hand, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The realisator was too emotional and ended up doing things that doesnt make sense at all because the boy at the end (the park in gyom or whatever is name is) was not supposed to be there. He still putted him in there most probably because the dude is too emotional but by doing so he is contradicting himself and his storyline big time. I understand the dude is a very emotional guy but I dont think all his viewers are as emotional as him to the point of accepting and ending that contradicts itself so much..

A very suspenseful drama, nice action scenes, comedy and science fiction.
There is a lot of plot twists, to keep you at the edge of your seat, not knowing what's coming next. A great movie indeed.
I don't know if it's good actors or main genre gives this sloppy plot 7 stars. Maybe too focused on romance and drama that plot has so many loopholes.
Like just watching episode 2 and already found 4 mistakes firstly how can so high-tech future agents lost to 1 rich boy even in 2020 people can control cars remotely, also how did that guy found right address??and the list goes...

The bad news first. If you are a fan of K-Dramas. You already know their fatal flaw. Usually, after a brilliant opening, the writers run out of ideas about halfway in, and start to stumble. Here, to say that the later episodes are "overwritten" is an understatement. Now the good news. Kim Hee-seon may be one of the most photogenic self-identifying female persons on the planet. Many of those overwritten later episodes have two of her in the key scenes. Which makes up for all those pesky script issues!
