Watch on Viki/Good Drama
Synopsis:
A time-slip drama about a mother who goes back fourteen days in time to save her daughter from being kidnapped and murdered.
Lee Boyoung is incredible. I really hope the ratings continue to rise.

Date: 2014-03-08 04:40 pm (UTC)I was initially concerned that this drama was taking on too much - There are so many strands of storylines that we were hearing about and some of those strands are very delicate ones. But so far I love the high intensity of this drama and the performances are just so excellent. Obviously I'd love to see more Sunhwa as Jenny, but really, I'm just excited to learn more about all of the characters and see how this all unravels.

Date: 2014-03-08 07:37 pm (UTC)Lee Bo-young is incredible. her scene in the tv studio in the second episode? i don't know if i've EVER felt so strongly for a drama. she's just infused with so much raw emotion, it takes my breath away. so good!!
no subject
Date: 2014-03-08 08:28 pm (UTC)also the scene at the tv studio where she was speaking to the camera ;______________; then she changed her tone saying she would do anything to find the killer. shit.
i hope the pace will be like this throughout because k-drama has the tendency to be draggy nearing to the last few episodes. i'm rooting for this!
and i extremely adores yubin ever since i saw her on 'oh! my lady'.

Date: 2014-03-08 09:52 pm (UTC)I also really like the slacker character guy though I feel like he's gonna get framed for something :(

Date: 2014-03-09 01:03 am (UTC)So far, all the characters seem super intriguing, even up to the smallest roles, like the disabled boy Baro's playing so amazingly. Or the guy called Ki Dong Chan whose scenes are a nice change from all the super tight kidnapping drama. And his brother, the imprisoned murderer (?) is so damn creepy, omg.
There was some unconvincing writing here and there, like nobody coming to Lee Boyoung's side in the studio, letting her suffer in front of the camera all on her own without calling off the show. Absolutely nobody stepping in during that train station scene, not even security. Or the kidnapper demanding from the mother to escape the police observation and expecting the police to just back off the case, after calling in to a live TV show revealing himself to be the kidnapper? Um, no. But the overwhelming majority of the story so far was a lot better executed and had me biting my nails (or drying my eyes, alternatively).
This drama feels quite cinematic so far with its fine balance of drama and action and a tiny dose of comedy. I hope it won't disappoint in the long run. I really can't wait for next week to see which route this drama is taking.

Date: 2014-03-09 01:03 am (UTC)Also, I agree with whomever mentioned they liked the slacker guy. I like him, too and I'm hoping there's more of his character.

Date: 2014-03-09 04:14 am (UTC)Haven't watched ep.2 yet. I don't wanna, it's gonna make me cry.
The one thing I didn't like in ep 1 was how Seat Byul never seemed to explain the situations with Baro's character to her mom. Idk maybe cause she was angry/scared of getting in trouble but still. Say something GIRL!
no subject
Date: 2014-03-09 08:13 am (UTC)I kept catching myself during the first eps, trying not to get attached to Saet Byul, but the little actress who plays her is so cute, and her character is very lovable (how can I not love a kid who's obsessed with No Min Woo?...or wtf did they call him in this? Snake or something). Knowing she was going to die made the first eps very uncomfortable for me.
SMH at the ppl in the subway just standing around watching while that asshole stomped and kicked Boyoung. And I really freaking hope that it was for the sake of the drama and not how things would actually go down, when the media released the shoe and bag report linking it to Saet Byul before the police informed the family.
I will definitely keep watching this one. (And will probably be checking out Lee Boyoung's other stuff. Liked her in ICHYV, but she's really grabbed my attn now. That scene where she pleads for her daughters life, ugh ;______;)

Date: 2014-03-09 08:59 pm (UTC)The comedic element with the PI seems out of place at times but the actor is likable so it still works for me, Lee Boyoung is tremendous - not as good as the mother in The Killing (the original) but she is still tremendous - however the husband, to me, gave the most interesting performance.
Some things felt rushed, particularly the husband's last ditch blaming. I thought it was right that he felt that way but it needed to be built up to that point. It just happened.
