REACTION: (Times Watched: 3)

I freaking love this drama. This is the second Korean Drama that I ever watched. The concept of the
drama is interesting. At first I was skeptical of it (only because I was new to K-Dramas) but once I
finally gave it a try I couldn’t help but finish it in 2 ½ days.

The stories for each character are so fun to watch. The way that the 3 main characters are connected
is amazing. Watching this drama made my heart race because being able to see the future was scary.
You never know if they are able to prevent the event from happening. It almost felt like I was watching
an action movie, but I guess that's just the thriller aspect of the drama. Also you can’t help but hate the
antagonist of this drama (you’ll know who it is once you watch it).

But this drama was not just a thriller. It’s also a romance and to a certain extent a comedy. Suzy and
Lee Jong-Suk truly embrace their characters and give a great performance. Actor Jung Hae-In also
does an amazing job especially considering that this is his first drama with a major role. He is now one

of my favorite actors. This drama made me a definite fan of all three of them.

I don’t want to say anymore to spoil anything but I definitely recommend this drama. Take this from a
person who has watched it twice.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO:

Anyone who likes fantasy shows
Anyone who is new to Korean Dramas
Anyone who likes comedic relationships

FAVORITE SONG FROM OST:

It is very hard to choose a favorite song from this OST. This is actually one of my favorite OSTs. I
literally love all the songs on this OST, including the instrumental songs.

However, since I do have to choose I will say that “When A Long Night Comes” by Eddy Kim is
probably my favorite. This song is the first Korean Drama song that ever grabbed my attention while
watching a drama. It is also the first Korean Drama song that I ever downloaded on my Spotify.
The song is so emotional and beautiful that you can’t help but listen to it on repeat. I especially love
the bridge of the song. Every time Eddy Kim hits the next octave on that song the tears can’t help but
fall down (if they aren’t already). Fun Fact: I listen to this song every night before I go to sleep :)
