This is a charming show, with wonderful leads and a fine supporting cast. Time travel shows are always hard to pull off and while there are some plot holes, they are tolerable. I would have liked the final episodes to tell us more about the return to 2023, especially Eun-yoo's story but this is a minor complaint.
In this show, a boy (Ryeoun) and a girl (Seoul In-ah) travel from 2023 to 1995, the boy to meet his father (Choi Hyun-wook), make sure he meets his future mom (Shin Eun-woo) and save him from a serious accident, the girl to escape her dysfunctional parents with the idea of changing the past so she will not be born. The two romances that ensue are heartfelt, even if many obstacles must be overcome.
Much of the show tells of the band formed by the father, a high-schooler in 1995, which his time traveling son joins, the father's objective being to capture the heart of the girl (or her mother - you'll have to watch) and the son's being to prevent his father's accident. Comedy and drama intertwine. The series delicately and compassionately deals with the challenges faced by deaf people and CODAs (children of deaf adults).
If there are to be some criticisms, perhaps some of the pantomime villainy of Shin's step-mother (Kim Joo-ryoung) could have been omitted. Also, while I find it, er, unpalatable having to watch another series enslaved by the all-powerful Korean catering industry, I also must offer up my respects to the inventor of the fast forward button that allows one to skip over the eating scenes without losing any of the story.
I don't want to give away the plot, but it all works pretty well and the leads will keep you engaged throughout. Light fare that is eminently binge worthy.
