Tomorrow With You review

Drama name: Tomorrow With You
Country: South Korea
Year: Feb- Mar 2017

I came to know about this drama right after I finished watching Signal. I liked Lee Je Hoon there and was happy to be able to see him in another drama so soon. A romantic one at that, so I did look forward to it. 

So, what's this drama about?

Yoo So Joon is the Chairman of a huge property developer company named MyReits. Nobody knows anything about his background, or  how he became so rich so fast at such a young age. Apparently, Yoo So Joon has a special ability... that is to be able to time travel. 

He travels to the future and buys all the newspapers, magazines regarding business and politics. With that information he is able to know which land is worth investing in the present time. Only So Joon's best friend knows about this and So Joon seems to be enjoying his life.

One day, So Joon travelled into the future and saw himself die in a car accident. Shocked and confused, he also noticed that a woman died on the same day and time as him. Determined to find out who and why, he starts to investigate the woman's identity. 

It turns out that woman's name is Song Ma Rin. She used to be a child actress but that was in the past. Now as a grown up, she is barely earning any money being a freelance photographer. Plagued with her former fame she always seem to end up in the news for being drunk and acting out. 

As So Joon can time travel, he knows what will happen in Ma Rin's life. He decides to save her one day from an accident that will leave her paralysed. Things start to change from there as So Joon begin to get involved in Ma Rin's life. 

The rest of the story goes on with So Joon travelling back and forth to the future and present trying to figure out why he married Ma Rin, then later why their relationship went bad, why there was a time where he seemed to have disappeared and finally to the day where he and Ma Rin was supposed to die. 

Overall thoughts?

I was pretty excited when the drama started, there was a mystery about why So Joon and Ma Rin will die on that day and it made you want to find out more. But as the drama went on, I found it really boring. I actually stopped watching for awhile before picking up the drama again. There isn't much on the time travelling part, the drama focuses more on the relationship struggles of a newlywed couple, living together, overcoming each other's insecurities and falling deeper in love with one another each day.

Best parts of the drama?

It has to be Lee Je Hoon! He dresses really well in this drama with the latest fashion...(Um, fashion from the future) ;D

But I seriously don't get this beggar like cloak... It's like pieces of torn fabric sewn all together! ;P

So Joon has a nice house in an expensive neighbourhood... 

Let's not forget his car... 

Cool gadgets from the future which includes Back to the future shoes, a wedding ring eating floor cleaner and transparent mobile phones! Wowww!! :O 

For those food lovers, there is a future ramyeon that you want to try! I guess we can get to eat it pretty soon!

I quite like this fancy restaurant, it looks like an art gallery or some sort.. You can get lost wandering around the place and still end up where you started! 

Notable scenes

When So Joon and Ma Rin just gotten married, after dinner at the restaurant... Ma Rin sees a fruit seller and suggests to buy some fruits. So Joon replied her just like any husband would that they still have some at home. I thought that was a pretty sweet moment... 

So Joon and Ma Rin dating even after marriage was really nice. It's true in many ways... 

Couple pyjamas! I know many girls would love this cutesy part!

Funny drama moment where everyone would think the hero will be able to kick open a locked door! 

Conclusion

Yoo So Joon finally found out why whenever he travelled to the future, he was being told that his marriage to Ma Rin wasn't working out... It was all Ma Rin's smartass idea to reset the present so that So Joon will not get stabbed by the evil Executive Director on the subway and disappear into the future....What?... I know right.... -_-

Yes, for the whole drama all the mystery surrounding their relationship and marriage all boils down to that. I was so furious I wanted to flip the table, strangle Ma Rin and slap some sense into that stupid head of hers. Arrrgghh!!

Despite all her efforts, So Joon did get stabbed by the evil guy and So Joon disappears into the future for about two years.

Don't worry, there is a happy ending after all... ;D So Joon managed to wake up from his coma and travels back to the present just in time. A day before March 25th, 2019, the day where he and Ma Rin was supposed to die.

Come March 25th, 2019... So Joon and Ma Rin was at the exact place at the exact time... but as you know by now, the circumstances have changed... Both of them were about to be hit by an oncoming vehicle when Ma Rin's dad suddenly drives a car to block them... Yes, Ma Rin's dad sacrificed himself to save Ma Rin....

Yoo So Joon and Song Ma Rin lived past March 25th, 2019.... The story ends with them three years later, still bickering over small stuff like credit card bills (Haha!) and not being pregnant... but still very much in love with each other. Aww....

I read some of the comments on this drama, they said it felt a bit like Final Destination, Grim reaper... that you can escape death once but death will eventually come to get you. :O Yoo So Joon, Song Ma Rin and Ma Rin's dad were supposed to die at the Namyeong train station accident back in March 25th, 2009. So it was another ten years later that they will eventually die again... March 25th, 2019 at 9.15pm.

It's a bit creepy but I think there were some news reports that has similar stories like this... The person escapes once but the next one he/ she will eventually die.

I guess the main point of this drama is to remind us to always live in the present... To love the ones that are with us now.... and not worry about the future... But hey, if I have the ability to time travel I would definitely live like how So Joon did! Who doesn't want to live a good life with a nice house, car, clothes...and win the lottery??!! :DD

That's all for now. Thanks for reading, I'll leave you with So Joon and Ma Rin's happy marriage!
