The story revolves around a teenage boy named Lee Kang San from running from bad people and trying to survive ends up in the future and met a frustrated novelist named Yook Dong-Joo. Kang San appeared to Dong-Joo unconsciously and when he tried identifying the name of the Kang-San or the people who might know him by checking his bag he found a draft of a novel. The novel was a good mystery story and Dong-Joo submitted it to his publisher and the complication of their lives started because it turns out that the novel tells a deep secret from the past.
Main Characters and Their Previous Works I'd watched.
Jung Woo played the role of Yook Dong-Joo and I haven't watched any series that he was the lead actor. The same goes with Bae Hyun-Sung who played the role of Lee Kang-San and Park Yoo-Rim who played the role of Park Hyun-Soo. I think it was a good thing that I haven't knew them because I saw this drama as I fresh one for me. It actually gave me the thrill and excitement of discovering K-Drama more. This series actually was the starter of my K-Drama watch habit once again. I stopped for a few months and when I saw this drama I then decided to came back in watching series again.
Director and Writer and their Previous works.
The story was written by Kim Ji-Woo and directed by Park Chang-Hong. Unfortunately, I haven't watched any drama series Ji-Woo written and Chang-Hong directed. But I want to give credits to them because they captivates me with their interesting pilot. Pilot episodes, for me, is really important whether I should continue watching or dropped for the mean time. And their pilot episode captivates me and make me crave for more.
Story
For me, the story was good and unique. It was not as popular as others or it might be underrated but still this was a good one. I can't say that it was the best or it was actually properly written but I enjoyed it and that was the most important thing. They were able to somehow explained all the whys that came up as the story progresses. Since it is a fantasy drama, they extend their imagination and proves that anything is possible/
Acting
Acting wise the male actors did a great job on their role. They give justice to the character and I think they portrayed it well and they did not do anything out of character. I may say that I felt awkward for Park Yoo-Rim or it is just that playing the character based on the script. If she did her part or what was written and the character really and should be that annoying, then she really did well.
Favorite Character on this Series
My favorite character on this series would definitely be Yook Dong-Joo. The first thing he did was not really good which is trying to get credits for the things he did not write or do. But he was a good brother for Kang-San even they were not blood related. I can see his sincere care for Kang-San. Also, he did good in admitting his mistake even he was told not to anymore.
Favorite Actor/Actress on this Series
Bae Hyun-Sung in this series is very promising so he will be my favorite actor. I am not familiar with him but I admire his beautiful and effective acting on this series. He doesn't make me feel awkward but rather he made me feel attach to him and his character.
Favorite Couple/Tandem on this Series
Since this series didn't much focus on love story or couple. I gave the favorite tandem to Dong-Joo and Kang-San. Just what I've mentioned above, despite them not blood related gives us the bond that we wish we should have to everyone. Brotherly and strong friendship bond was more appreciated for me in Korean Dramas. It give us not "kilig" but a touching effect.
Rating: 8.5/10
It didn't have love story much but it was still good and very touching. At the same time, it was a good thing that during the time it was aired, I was kind of addicted in reading books which perfectly fits the theme of this drama adding to the mystery theme that I am a fan of. Overall, I hope more people would appreciate this drama and this kind of drama series.
