"This drama is at the top of all heartfelt korean dramas. This is not a drama, it is something beyond you have ever seen. It speaks to your heart and makes you a better human being. Simply , a masterpiece. Acting, directing, screen writing, cinematography, Music and the OST and everything is so beautifully done it is almost unbelievable."- Metta Loving Kindness
"This is the first K-drama I've seen where the fictional characters symbolize something so real and relatable. Their weaknesses, struggles, trauma, and brokenness... and then to take all that grittiness and turn it into healing... truly a masterpiece. It will be difficult to surpass. "- Catherine Black

Lyrics
Song: 아직 너의 시간에 살아(In Your Time)
Artist: 이수현 (Lee SuHyun)
차갑게 남겨진 이야기
그때의 모든 게 난 선명해
동화같은 시간 그 속에 난
남겨짐만 그 두려움만 가득해
멈춰버린 맘 이젠 놓으려해
잃었던 시간들을 찾을 수 있게
이렇게 다시 너를 만나
지워버린 그때의 너를 찾아
아팠던 시간 지나
내가 널 붙잡아
아직 너의 시간에 살아
Forevermore, forevermore I cry
Forevermore, forevermore I cry
나에게 건네던 마음들
이제는 내가 널 담을게
먹먹한 마음 시렸던 기억들
모두 지울 수 있게 내가 안을게
이렇게 다시 너를 만나
지워버린 그때의 너를 찾아
아팠던 시간 지나
내가 널 붙잡아
아직 너의 시간에 살아
아파했던 그대로일까 봐
여전히 나를 기다릴까 봐
아직 난 아직 지워지지 않아
그곳에 여전히 나 서성이게 돼
이렇게 다시 너를 만나
지워버린 그때의 너를 찾아
아팠던 시간 지나
내가 널 붙잡아
아직 너의 시간에 살아
Forevermore, forevermore I cry
Forevermore, forevermore I cry
English translation:
The story remains so cold
It’s still so clear to me
In those fairy-tale like times
I’m only filled with fear of being left behind
I’m going to try to let go of this frozen heart
So I can find the lost times
After meeting you once again
I’m finding the pieces of you that have been erased
Past the painful times
I’m holding onto you
I’m still living in your time
Forever more, forever more, I cry
Forever more, forever more, I cry
All the feelings you gave to me
Now I’ll give it back to you and fill you up
Let me hold you
So I can erase your sadness and painful memories
After meeting you once again
I’m finding the pieces of you that have been erased
Past the painful times
I’m holding onto you
I’m still living in your time
I’m afraid you’re still in pain
I’m afraid you’re still waiting for me
So I still can’t erase you
I’m still pacing back and forth in that place
After meeting you once again
I’m finding the pieces of you that have been erased
Past the painful times
I’m holding onto you
I’m still living in your time
Forever more, forever more, I cry
Forever more, forever more, I cry
"This drama is a revolution in the history of kdramas. I've watched countless cliches that were predictable. But this drama is a masterpiece that I couldn't figure out at any point. Plus, the subject of traumas, autism, letting your inner child grow up and finding solace within people who hurt you and heal you at the same time has never been created in such a harmony before. Amazing soundtracks too. I will forever love this drama." - Ghina Iqbal
