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.

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.

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.

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

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.
