Anyone who has seen Back to the Future will recognize the concept and premise. A teen goes back to the time of his parents youth. The K drama element is that it is more emotional and that is where the drama shines. There are some really touching scenes with the son and father and mother. He sees his parents own difficulties growing up and sees things from their POV.
Also it's exciting to see if and how the future can be changed especially trying to avoid the accident that caused the father's deafness. Although irritatingly it seems too hard to stop the accident. Went on too long. The abusive teacher is a dramatic plot line. There have to be villains.
The cast is exuberant and acts well. Ryeoun is good and Choi Hyun Wook is enthusiastic. Seol in Ah isn't as pretty as the character suggests as the prettiest girl in school though.
The main faults are the length and the lack of funny moments. The drama should have been 12 episodes. There are lots of unnecessary and repeated scenes. And unnecessary dialogue. The first part is actually very confusing. There isn't that much story. Another fault is the comedy is often not funny. In fact it is just never funny. So it is like a musical drama but not a rom com. The writer just doesn't have a good sense of humor. Don't recall laughing at any joke. Did not like the ending that much. Rushed without a lot if explanation of the positive changes. Could have shortened the previous episodes to show more detailed explanation. He could not prevent his father's deafness and he had no memory of his better life. There is no way to explain time travel changes to everyone's satisfaction but in this show not enough of an effort was made.
