I always like Park Min Young shows and her sweetness radiates here. She has always been good at looking sad too. But she lost too much weight for this role and it was not really necessary for the story to be that thin. It does make one sympathetic towards her sick character. She does showcase many lovely outfits. Fashion is quite a part of this show and both her and her tall co star Na In Woo have hair and wardrobe makeovers and lose their glasses. Superficial but lots of fun how they transform quite a lot from their ill fitting outfits to the latest dresses and sharp suits. The most interesting characters are the villainous couple Lee Yi Kyeong is the comic relief. Talented musical actor as well. Song Ha Yoon plays the toxic friend who is just so jealous and obsessive. Seems over the top but there are people like that in real life. Her character is quite realistic and subtle at first. She is a villain that will go down in K drama history as a memorably insane woman.
The story has a very similar premise to the recently series Perfect Marriage Revenge with the murder and going back in time. But this show is better. Things do move quite quickly from her murdered 2023 timeline to the 2013 second chance time. She then proceeds to fix things and it is fun to see her getting strong and the villainous couple getting their comeuppance. Ep9 and 10 are quite feel good. But there is some drag in the pace before they do. Then another murderous villain comes in played by BoA who is quite unpleasant to watch. Should have stuck to singing. They carefully plot to change their fate to the other couple and the director clearly differentiates what happened before and what is happening now. Still, if some plot digressions had been cut and the series was just 12 episodes instead of 16, this would have been a better show. The ending completely and thoroughly gives closure to all the characters with a nice big happy conclusion wedding babies and all. Not like some rushed ending series. So at least things ended well.
