All of these aspects are intricately woven into a very well written plot that presents multiple themes throughout.
What do you do if you know the future? Can you change it? Is changing the future the right thing to do? Is the legal system perfect? Morality over personal interest? All decisions have consequences whether you like it or not. This drama is logical (including the fantasy of dreaming of course) and also touches upon some key ideas in an interesting way. Overall, one of the best plots done in recent history. This drama does a superb job of incorporating the dreams into the romance, the justice system, everyday life and the conflicts as a whole. There are some dramas that try to be too many things at once and often fail at all of them or are unable to incorporate all of them. Secondly, I believe that one of the strongest points of the drama was the incorporation of the premise of the show into the romance and the melodrama portion. I knew that the plot would be interesting and good when the first episode consisted of Suzy killing herself and Lee Jong Suk struggling with what he saw in his dream just as any other person. There are people that complain that the flashbacks and past were not impactful enough but the contrast between past and present that the director/producer used was actually well done. Firstly, why is Suzy able to see dreams about random people when the original idea was that whoever saves you will be who you dream about just like all the other characters? How did Suzy start dreaming to begin with? What is the motive for the detective to hide that he does not know Suzy and Lee Jong Suk? These issues are sort of touched upon but glossed over because there is no real answer to them.īesides plot holes, everything about this was very good. My main complaint about the plot was that there were a few plot holes that were never truly covered. I think the pacing was done superbly well and the inserts of flashbacks was well timed. Two aspects that are usually very different but through this drama are associated in a fresh way.
This is something different and interesting because it ties together two interesting aspects: fantasy which are essentially seeing the future through dreams and the justice system. Many recent dramas have been historical dramas that are trying to break the past tropes for a fresh feeling or are mundane/ “normal-life” struggles dramas that bring in new and ironically less “normal” characters. This plot is one of the most interesting yet not confounding plots (I’m looking at you ‘W’) that I have seen in a Korean drama in recent memory. My overall thought is that this is a drama that is great to watch once and feel good about the romance, the justice system and the characters.ĭisclaimer: I am not a Lee Jong Suk or Suzy fanboy (or many other actors to begin with) so I have no personal feelings for any of the actors.ĭisclaimer 2: I value storyline/plot and character/character development extremely highly and far above music which is also above replay value, but I will analyze each in their own category. The other reviews on this site seem to be incoherent and sort of click-bait so I will try to be as analytical and straightforward as I can with my review. Rewatch Value 7.5 The amount of hate that this drama is receiving is astounding to me because in my opinion this has been a stand-out drama among many other dramas that were considered vastly popular this year including Suspicious Partner, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, and others. When Jae Chan, Hong Joo, and Woo Tak then start having dreams about one another, they realize that their lives are now somehow entwined.īut can the three discover the reason that they were brought together, and can they prevent the people closest to them from getting hurt? Jae Chan decides to interfere in the course of events and ends up saving the lives of Hong Joo and Han Woo Tak, a young police officer. One day, Jae Chan has a strange premonition dream about an accident involving Hong Joo and Lee Yoo Beom, a ruthless attorney who used to be Jae Chan’s tutor. Since Hong Joo was young, she has had the ability to see the good and bad events before they happen, however she is often unable to do anything about them. Jung Jae Chan, a rookie prosecutor, and his younger brother, Seung Won, move in across the street. Nam Hong Joo lives with her mother, Yoon Moon Sun, a widow who runs a small restaurant. A young woman with bad premonition dreams meets two people who suddenly develop the same ability.
