I had hope that My Only Love Song would be a fun and lighthearted time travel drama to add to my beloved time travel list. Safe to say from the abysmally low rating I gave it that it did not live up to this expectation.

First, the acting. It was simply bad. Gong Seung Yeon in particular genuinely annoyed me with her performance. Was there really a need for this much yelling? She was not believable as a character or as a real person. Her acting felt forced and awkward at times. Lee Jonghyun also was simply awful in this drama. I feel like seeing his name on the cast list should have been a red flag for me for so many reasons, not the least of which was the fact that he was in my least favorite drama, and the only one rated lower than this one, Orange Marmalade. To put it nicely his character was dumb. He made stupid decisions, jumped to conclusions, and had no deeper thoughts throughout the entirety of the drama. (Just as an aside, I won't talk about his personal issues in this review because I know it might be upsetting to some and is, in the end, insignificant l to this drama's quality).

The plot had nothing of significance to offer. It was contrived, dumb, and foolish. A comedy that was wholly unfunny. The ending too made no sense when one considers the rules of time travel within the show and how the end was subsequently explained.

The show's budget also seemed to be nonexistent. The sets, costumes, hair, and makeup were all embarrassingly amateur-looking. I was shocked at how low quality the production was. This seems to be a common theme amongst webcomic adaptations but My Only Love Song was still glaringly bad even when held to a lower standard to account for webcomic adaptation budgets.

This drama was a waste of my time. Perhaps I should have been wearier of this drama given who the male lead is but as this drama had a relatively good rating I wanted to give it a fair shake despite my misgivings. I regret doing so.
