First I must say I don't care for time-travel dramas at all because they tend to be overly complicated and they just tend to confuse me- this had that. BUT this is so well written that I can over look that aspect. This is really unlike any drama I've ever seen and for that I must give MAJOR kudos to the writer(s).
The cast did a great job but the highlight goes to Alice, she did a fantastic job job of portraying two vastly different characters. Greg... eh he was ok- not bad but I've seen him in Sandstorm and he was much better in that. Patrick, I wish he was the ml instead- dude was great but I feel he/ his character didn't get too much shine.
The music for the drama is A1 but my problem is that they played the CRAP out of it. I mean over and over and over- I had to mute my tv I got so sick of it.
Overall I would recommend this but be warned, you have to pay attention otherwise you will "get lost in the sauce" and have no idea what is going on.

The start of this drama had me excited for what was to come- I was let down. Any drama that features a cast of women friends with various personalities always peaks my interest (Golden Girls is my all time favorite show for a reason). My main gripe with this drama is that it turned from a great slice of life to a ridiculous unrealistic fluff piece.
Cast- an ensemble with actors and actresses I've seen before including Maryjun who I'm seriously digging as she just randomly ends up in dramas I watch. Mizuki- her character was annoying from the start but then it looked like she was maturing only to became unbearable again. Maryjun- her character actually had substance and the writer could have did more with it but they just glossed over it; damn shame. Reina- another actress that just pops up is dramas I'm watching but unlike Maryjun I don't really care for her. She always plays the damsel that needs to be saved by someone and it's really annoying; on the plus side, her character had a real cute wardrobe. Aya- loved her character from the jump. She was somewhat a believable character in that she wasn't perfect and didn't pretend to be but towards the end like everyone else she became a drama character instead of a real life one (if you get what I mean). Ryohei- he's like the male version of Reina, just randomly shows in dramas I'm watching and that his characters tend to be somewhat weak and not really reliable. Last but not least, Shunsuke- he was just straight up sexy lol no other words needed.
Overall even though I was disappointed, I still enjoyed the ride this drama provided and would still recommend it for a pretty decent rom/com.

Simple, feel-good drama is what this is. It's lead characters are ridiculous and weird but oh so charming and lovable. I immediately watched this drama after watching a rather depressing one before it and I must say that it really made me appreciate the silliness. I feel like with this show they could have definitely made more seasons if they wanted, as I never got bored with the different couples every episode.
The cast- did an amazing job and I especially loved the ikemen-crazy Sister Elizabeth. The music- the songs they would sing with their ridiculous lyrics made me laugh and had me scratching my head at the same time. I've finished this but I've already rewatched episodes that I really enjoyed.
In the end I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this drama, as I went in not expecting anything; I totally recommend it especially if you love that typical weird- Japanese comedy.

This is sad, bad, sloppy writing at its finest. I dropped this after 5 episodes as I just could not go on anymore with the ridiculous story-line. This gets compared to The Guest a lot since they came out around the same time and both aired on OCN. I watched The Guest as it was airing and that show is a freakin masterpiece in horror- this... this is not.
So many plot holes and unbelievable situations... I just couldn't deal. Every cliche you could think of is in this drama. I started this because it seemed like it would be similar to The Guest and because the rating for it here is so high. I seriously do not get the ratings some people give dramas...
Anyway, I HIGHLY do not recommend this drama ESPECIALLY if you're hella into horror like I am- you will be disappointed.

Unforgotten Night? Should change the name to Forgotten Night

Oh my goodness where do I even begin with this mess?!
Story- whack. whackty whack whack whack. It's clear the mafia genre is taking off with KP being the starting point but this drama FAILED! when it came to that aspect. It's so cheesy and contrite... I couldn't help but laugh during serious moments.
Cast/ Acting- omfg what a travesty. Yoon and Ton have chemistry, I've seen it in bts/ specials they did together but when it came to their actual roles... TURD. ONE BIG SMELLY POOP! Some one said it might be over direction and that seems to be the case. Also, I'm so use to Yoon playing sml/ cute roles and I guess he wanted to show he has range... this aint it buddy- Love you, but no. Ton, you can also do with a bit more roles before being cast as a lead. #sorrynotsorry
Music- one of the main reasons why I would bust out laughing during a serious scene because of the horrible piano piece that would play during critical moments.
Rewatch- I would have to be drunk and bored out of my mind.
My overall score SHOULD be 3 BUT I decided to be generous and give a 6 because they tried and I really appreciate that.

Basically horrible fan service

I thought the people commenting on this as being bad and a waste of time were just being dramatic- THEY WERE TELLING THE TRUTH!!
If you watched Together with Me and loved it like I did then you will be SO disappointed in this. Everything that made Together with Me great was ruined in this drama.
Korn and Knock fought the entire time and for no damn reason.
Yihwa, the sassy and cool friend became a straight up bitch in this series.
The new characters were just there and didn't really add anything which is sad.
Finally the story itself was 100%, unadulterated TRASH! Like when I say don't waste your time with this, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS!!
For some reason I continued just to see how it would end but honestly, looking back, it was so not worth it and I want the hours I wasted on this back.
I don't recommend- STAY AWAY!!

So this drama was ok for what it is but it's really awkward for most of it. The actors are clearly all newbies so their interactions with each other don't come off as natural and can make scenes hard to watch. The story is a bit messy at times with all the couples and random people kinda just thrown in to fill time. It's a light bl for easy watching- that's it, so don't expect some hardcore story line that will leave you moved in the end. Would I recommend this one? Hard to say as it's def not my favorite and there are much better bl dramas out there but it did it's job in keeping me entertained for the most part. If you love love love bl dramas then go for it otherwise I would say your time can be best used watching something else. (dramacool)

No actual story

Dropped.
The first episode had me lol-ing so I had high hopes but then as I watched more episodes I laughed less and less and the entertainment I received quickly vanished. The women as portrayed like freaking animals- it's insane. They are homophobic and abusive to the gay males and it just was too much for me. The romance between the leads was so contrived and so hard to watch. Mild is such a horrible actor #sorrynotsorry and watching him act makes me cringe- I'll have to avoid anything with him now. The kiss scenes are so bad it's laughable and the fact that there really is no plot made me drop this one. I don't recommend it.
