Does this drama have cliche spots? Yes. Do I regret watching it? Honestly no

I watched this for the first time ever just now (Dec 2022) and honestly I don't think it's a bad drama if you don't go into it holding super high expectations. I didn't expect much when starting Autumn's Concerto because it is a 2009 drama after all and honestly it was not as bad as some of the reviews are saying.

Yes it has cliche plot writing but I honestly didn'y it find it THAT bad of a drama considering that is from 2009. My only big annoyance with this show was that it took forever for the characters to tell Ren Guang Xi about what happened right before he got amnesia. The show could've gotten rid of so many scenes if they put this part earlier and I feel the audience could've gotten many more romance scenes between MC and GX towards the end of the show.

Overall, I wasn't mad at the drama nor do I think it was a waste of time. In the end, Autumn's Concerto was a cute watch to check off my list and if you're curious and have it on your list I'd recommend you do the same.

Absolute hidden masterpiece - you must watch this!

Go Back Couple is a stunning drama that I instantly knew was an actual 10/10 before the show had even ended. The first two episodes hooked me in super deep, the acting of both main leads was incredible and they did a fantastic job portraying their individual sides of the story so well. The scriptwriting really boosted this drama, with little to no cliches and great pieces of comedy in between. The secondary actors also did a great job, especially how funny Go Dok Jae was throughout till the very end.

Jin Joo and Ban Do's journey was raw and geniune and everything I could've asked for. Jang Na Ra and Son Ho Jun did an stellar job with bringing realistic-ness to these characters in the present and past. This show is so captivating you won't want to stop! I binged it in 3 days and it left me happy at the end, I only wish I could watch it all over again for the first time! If you're thinking about it stop and go check it out, you won't regret!

Interesting idea but timeline gets confusing, ending makes watching drama pointless

TLDR: More of a 8/10 stars tbh, overhyped by the reviews. First 4-5 episodes are boring, story gets interesting afterwards but timeline gets increasingly confusing as the drama continues on. Even by the end it's not 100% clear and you're left unsatisfied because there's so much jumping bodies.

The ending made me kind of annoyed because it made the entire drama redundant, I might as well have not watched it, the ending was useless lol. I think a one-time watch is enough for this if you're into time travel, but personally I won't rewatching.

I absolutely loved discovering Greg Hsu however, super handsome and cute and has such a great smile. I loved his couple scenes with Huang Yu Xuan, so cute. I'll look forward to his new works!

Decently cute crossdressing with handsome male lead but predictable/slow storyline halfway through

TLDR; Decently cute drama that's not amazing but not terrible either. Wouldn't rewatch again since I believe there's better dramas out there but glad I got to see PBG's acting for the first time. If you're looking for something with GOOD romance look elsewhere but if you like a side of romance then this is for you.

Acting: Park Bo Gum does a good job as Crown Prince Lee Young but there was a lack of romantic chemistry between him and Hong Ra On in my opinion. Many times throughout the drama they often felt like platonic soulmates rather than romantic ones. Bo Gum delivered his romantic scenes well but Kim Yoo Jung's romantic acting in plenty of scenes could've been much more convincing.

Storyline wise: Drama was interesting and had me captivated for the first 5-7 episodes ish but around the halfway mark it became a drag and I got bored while watching it. After this mark I was forcing myself to finish it and there only a few cute or interesting moments per episode. The story got better in the last 3 episodes but I wished the ending had shown more about the future, I think it would've made the ending that much better.

The OST wasn't that memorable and only towards the last few episodes did I like the song choices & scenes.

Overall I wouldn't recommend this drama to people who love romance dramas but it was a cute thing that I'm glad I got to see PBG act in.
