WYWS is a fantasy, romance, thriller. The fantasy aspect of it (premonitions) were thankfully left unexplained because no possible reasoning could have successfully explained it. The romance was convincing enough. The leads didn't have sparkling chemistry, but coming from painful pasts (and also seeing into painful futures) they clung to each other and seemed comfortable with each other. I bought it. The thriller aspect of it totally hooked me in. We immediately start out with knowing someone is going to be killing the main actress.

First of all, the villains. Lee Yoo-beom as a child or adult is a know-it-all POS that you want to smack around. He knows exactly how to bend the rules and laws to make things go his way. And yet, he recognizes the path that he keeps on following is a terrible one, is internally terrified, but he's all gas and no brakes. Then, the biggest surprise of all of them to me. Kang Ki-young playing the chicken restaurant owner. Just the previous week I was actually thinking about how much I had liked him in all his supporting cast roles (WWWSK, Weightlighting Fairy, W) and seeing him as a sociopath seriously broke me a little bit. It was so incredibly jarring that it colored the entire series even darker for me on how scary human nature can be. The rest of the villains were truly evil as well, though maybe less complex, such as the professor abusing students and the serial killer. They were in there to paint a better picture of Lee Yoo-beom's path to destruction.

This was my first time watching a Suzy drama. I'd avoided because I heard she wasn't a great actress. I could tell literally all of her tears were fake, but she did a fine enough job. In my opinion she's a bit plain looking, so everyone being in love with her is a bit ...eh, but that's the way these go. I find Lee Jong-suk interesting as an actor. He has a dang interesting face, almost so child-like that I just can't imagine him as a lawyer. He looked so much more like "him" when he was wearing a hoodie. I think he fit better as a chaebol in W.

My favorite characters were minor. I particularly loved Lee Ji-kwang (Min Sung-wook) letting prosecutor borrow his car, and just being a total goofy friend and secretly dating in the office. We didn't get to see too much of kid Suzy and Lee Jong-suk, but I absolutely loved all their scenes, particularly the river scene when he yells for her to save them. I saw some comments didn't find the flashbacks impactful, but there was so much emotion in that scene, and it colored their future as they each carried the guilt and responsibility of saving or choose to not save lives.

I don't think I'd fully rewatch, but I may skip around to some of the cutest or scariest moments.
