I have watched the highest rated western dramas like Ozark, breaking bad, GOT and movies and often find them dry. They are so dry you actually feel it. My Korean journey started with crash landing on you and this drama is already one of my favourites even though I still haven't finished watching it. If you are into feel good romantic comedy with human emotions and dynamics this drama has it all. There is a deeper psychological and Philosophical aspect embedded within the drama despite the fact that this is a few good light-hearted comedy. As in Buddhism Upajjhatthana Sutta : "I am the owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir". Whatever we intentionally think, do or say become our karma.

This drama is not a feel good comedy. It is just amazing.

I love the plot, the acting, the humor planted... everything's spot on. When I first finished 18 again(a 2020 Korean series), i thought that's the peak, nothing can top it, but then I got recommended to this. 18 again is definitely a 10/10, and go back couple is a 11/10.

A fantasy story of couple who goes back to thier youth time to realize the truths of life after devorcing each other in the future. Filled with full of lessons and parental love is the main theme of this drama. Overall, its heart warming story with happy ending. Makes you laugh and weep at same time.

I think this was a pretty clean and tidy series. In twelve hour long episodes it gaves us a very clean and cut story with a somewhat satisfying ending as well as positive messages and advice. However, while it was perfect in all matters technical, be it the actors, the themes, the flow and the writing, it felt lacking in unpredictability.

The ending could be seen a few episodes in. There really wasn't a question how this series would end, the only question was how it would come to that point. And I think the journey was nice, it addressed a few series themes like loss, grief and how a marital relationship can start and end.

The typical korean drama undertone wasn't a plus in my opinion. Overreactions and stretched out moments which are only minor detraction points. Suprisingly the dramatic situations and misunderstandings weren't too frequent to become annoying.

I think what we have here is a very perfect example of what korean dramas are like. Sadness and happiness in equal measures, a romance that leads to a happy and feel-good ending. Despite this, the predictability of it and the lack of twists with in-story weight (no that thing at the end doesn't count) made it an enjoyable experience, but not much else.

The messages while nice enough weren't valuable to me, and while there were some good twists and turns, I don't think I'll remember this as one of my favourites.

I guess I'm also not the exact target-audience. Married couples are surely hit more by everything there, but as a single the impact was lessend by a lot.

Hidden gem , must watch for married couples.

Definitely recommended for lovers.
