I think Cha Joo-hyuk was selfish. Straight up. He wanted peace, not growth. I get that Woo-jin was harsh, but he didn’t try to communicate or fix things. He ran. The show tricked you into thinking he was justified, but he wasn’t. What shocked me was how fast he just threw his kids out of existence without realizing it. I liked the idea of time travel, but the story kind of gave me anxiety. I liked the acting, but it was frustrating watching a grown man act like a scared kid.
 
This drama made me cry more than I expected. Watching Seo Woo-jin break down, before and after the timeline changed, felt very real. I saw in her the struggles of many women I know, including myself. We are expected to do everything and still smile. I wish Joo-hyuk had loved her more loudly in the beginning. Still, I’m glad he realized his mistake. We often think the grass is greener elsewhere. But when you truly love someone, you water the grass where you are.
 
I felt sad when Joo-hyuk got everything he thought he wanted and still wasn’t happy. Isn’t that so true in life? I kept rooting for Woo-jin even when she was yelling. Maybe because I saw she was just drowning in stress. I don’t think the story was perfect, but it made me think about how we treat the people closest to us. I liked the second half better, when he starts missing her. That’s when the real love story started.
 
Honestly, I only watched this because someone told me it had time travel. The coins thing felt kind of silly, but I get it—it’s a fantasy. The emotional part didn’t grab me right away, but by episode 10 I was curious how he would fix everything. I didn’t like how long it took him to realize what he lost. I mean, your kids are gone, man. React faster! Still, it was decent. Would recommend it to people who like relationship dramas with a twist.
 
This show annoyed me. It’s about a man who changes history because his wife yelled at him. Seriously? That’s your big problem? It plays into this stereotype that women are emotional monsters while men are innocent victims. But when you look closely, Woo-jin had more reason to be angry than he did. She was working, raising kids, and probably dealing with silent resentment. Instead of working on the marriage, he erased it. Not cute. Not smart. The show did get better when it showed her strength in the new timeline, though.
