Never has capturing a moment in time been so important than in this finale, where one instant can mean doom and gloom or happiness and rainbows for our couple. Each of our characters knows that they’ve got one shot to focus on saving whomever they love most, but is it enough to change the course of fate once and for all? FINAL EPISODE RECAP February 2019. Ma-rin writes another email to So-joon, telling him of how everything he said would come true did the Duck Ramyun fervor, the most recent presidential election, and the Starcraft match between Lim Yo-hwan versus AlphaCraft, which she and Ki-doong spoiled for Se-young. All the futuristic items So-joon bought for her now feel like things of the past, and she worries their time together might someday feel like that, too. Like the other emails, she schedules this one to send in February 2022. That’s the date So-joon comes to in a hospital bed in his own home. He wonders where Ma-rin is and believes this must be a dream. It turns out the woman we saw out in the patio is his caretaker and his doctor tells Ki-doong and Se-young that So-joon was conscious for only a few moments. Se-young points out that this is the fourth time this month So-joon has shown some activity after being comatose for two years. The doctor agrees that So-joon’s case is an anomaly; So-joon was found on the tracks severely bleeding, yet he didn’t show any other signs that would keep him in a coma for this long. As Ki-doong and Se-young leave he adorably takes her purse and sticks in hand in her coat pocket, he reminds her that this So-joon from the past has stayed with them for too long. She admits there are times when she thinks that So-joon is better off being in a coma than waking up to a grim reality where it will soon be three years since Ma-rin’s death. What. He agrees that they can remain optimistic, and So-joon can choose to either return to his present or live here in 2022. So-joon’s monitors act up again later that night, but this time So-joon starts coughing. He wakes again in the morning to see Ki-doong by his bedside and asks, “What year is it?” Ki-doong stammers in shock at his friend looking back at him and replies, “2022.” One month later, March 2022. As So-joon rides the subway, he narrates that he’s lived in the future for one month now but he still can’t return to the time he disappeared from. Ki-doong told him that So-joon reappeared on November 30, 2019, exactly three years after Director Kim was apprehended. So-joon realized that he skipped past his “last day,” and figured he’d been in a coma since then because he occasionally heard voices. He gave Ki-doong a belated congratulations on his marriage to Se-young, and Ki-doong asked why So-joon didn’t once ask about Ma-rin. So-joon didn’t want to talk about it, guessing that Ma-rin had met her demise on March 25, 2019. He now lives in a future where Ma-rin no longer exists, and he isn’t able to go back to the year when Ma-rin was still alive. Back in the present, Ma-rin worries about her eyesight because things that are level appear off-balance to her and vice versa. But her attention is turned to So-ri, who’s been reading about someone online who goes by the handle “Kkot-soonie” and has accurately predicted a number of events. Ma-rin pulls up a livestream of a broadcast jockey dressed in regal robes who wishes to know who “Kkot-soonie” is. HA, it’s Secretary Hwang. Ma-rin recognizes him and writes off the story, but So-ri swears that all of the predictions have come true, including some unsolvable crimes. Why, Kkot-soonie even uploaded a photo of Duck Ramyun a year before it actually became popular. LOL. So-ri is convinced that Kkot-soonie must be a time traveler whereas the real Kkot-soonie sighs, wondering how the netizens managed to find all of those hidden comments she posted. But Kkot-soonie has recently gone quiet, making people wonder if she’s traveled to the future, and Ma-rin barks at her to get back to work. Secretary Hwang still works for Director Wang, who insists that he paid for his own night out last night. He’s sick of his nagging secretary making sure that he’s an upright businessman, but after having worked for a man who embezzled company funds, can you blame him? Ma-rin worries that her predictions might get her incriminated, remembering when she posted them in the first place. So-joon expressed the same worry that her warnings will backfire, and they bickered over whether or not they should intervene in other people’s lives. Ma-rin and So-joon fought over the laptop until she collapsed on top of him. He remarked that this was a risque position, and she sighed that it must’ve been hard for him to keep so many secrets about the future to himself over the years. She pressed an ear to his heart so it could vent, and when he asked what his heart said, she replied that it often felt lonely and forlorn, but felt better because she was there. He laughed while she kept listening, and he hugged her tight. Ma-rin meets Ki-doong and Se-young for celebratory drinks later that night, where they laugh at the comments about her. Ki-doong dampens the mood by saying that So-joon should’ve been here for this, and Ma-rin says So-joon would’ve berated her for posting so many predictions online. She chuckles that there isn’t anything to tell now anyway, and jokes that she can’t even come clean. She admits that her upcoming photo exhibition makes her think of So-joon because it would’ve been nice if he were here to see it. Her smile doesn’t fade until after she sends the married couple off, and buys more beer at a convenience store, where a couple bicker over who should pay. Ma-rin returns home and feeds the robot vacuum tissues while she continues to drink. Over in March 2022, So-joon takes the subway, praying that it will take him back to the present this time. But it doesn’t work. He shares his woes with Ki-doong, telling him that even if he could go back, he’d only have two days before Ma-rin’s death. Ki-doong has the hard task of advising his friend to move on and live out his life here in the future. What if So-joon manages to return to 2019 but isn’t able to save Ma-rin? But then he takes it back when So-joon asks what he’d do if it was Se-young. So-joon doesn’t know what to do, worried that Ma-rin must’ve felt so alone. Ki-doong remembers that Ma-rin did think of him in her final days, but this is something out of So-joon’s hands. “So I should live here alone?” So-joon asks. “My home is there. I’m supposed to be where Ma-rin is! Even if I could see her for one hour, no, even ten minutes… I’d really want to go back.” As So-joon returns to his robot vacuum in his dark, empty house, Ma-rin decides to schedules her next email to So-joon for three years from now. So-joon reads it in his office, as Ma-rin writes that she’s a bit tipsy right now and wonders if he’s been cheating in the future. She reminds him that they were supposed to watch the fireworks together on March 25, 2019, two days from now. He cracks a smile when she asks if he’s having the time of his life in the future with the hovercars and orders him to come back soon. He looks at the desk where Ma-rin has left him a message “I miss you.” He then reads all the emails Ma-rin sent him over the years and sobs. So-joon visits the tree dedicated to Ma-rin, noting that while not much the future hasn’t changed much, he finds it unfamiliar territory without Ma-rin by his side. Not too far away lies Doo-shik’s marker, listed under his real name, Song Doo-il, and died on March 25, 2019. Ma-rin arrives on the opening day of her photo exhibition and worries that no one has arrived. Her first guest is the photographer who once wrote her off, and as it turns out, the person who helped her get an award. She still remembers the day So-joon brought Ma-rin to her studio, and admits that she genuinely wanted to take Ma-rin under her wing. She can see that Ma-rin’s talents blossomed without her. It isn’t long before the gallery is full of guests, including Ki-doong and Se-young, who gift her with a bouquet. Even Gun-sook congratulates her, and Secretary Hwang hangs back in a corner. In 2022, So-joon arrives at the Seoul Station stop only to find that it’s currently under construction. He sneaks in anyway, but is stopped by a construction worker. He makes up a weak excuse and tries to bribe the man, but that backfires and soon a whole group tries to usher him out. So-joon blows past them and makes a run for it down the tunnel, determined to make it back to Ma-rin. And this time, he succeeds in hurtling back to 2019. Ma-rin isn’t waiting outside the platform at Namyeong Station, but he need only run outside to see her standing by the subway crash memorial. He hollers, “Song Ma-rin!” and runs into her arms. She breaks away, thinking that he’s from the past, and walks away. But So-joon follows her, saying that even if he were to travel to the past, he wouldn’t break up with her. He doesn’t regret meeting her, but he remembers how troubled he was when she lied to him about why they should’ve broken up. Ma-rin stops in her steps as So-joon calls out, “You told my past self to break up with you, and my future self to return! That’s really like you, Song Ma-rin.” She turns and asks who he is. Tears fill her eyes when he asks how she could send him a hundred emails. So-joon cries, “I won’t go out with Future Ma-rin. I got the email you sent yesterday three years into the future. You told me to hurry back!” Ma-rin grabs him in an embrace and wails in his arms. He apologizes for taking so long, and she shrieks, “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?” They return home together, and Ma-rin swoops in to kiss him. He returns the kiss, and they smile at one another between kisses as they make their way toward the bedroom. Ki-doong is working late at the office when he gets a photo of So-joon making a silly face, informing his friend of his return. He runs over to Se-young’s office to tell her the good news. She’s utterly relieved, and Ki-doong says their friend has one more surprise for them the winning lottery numbers in March 2022. Gun-sook meets with Secretary Hwang, explaining that she came up from Jeju to be here for Ma-rin’s photo exhibition. Secretary Hwang admits he still suffers from nightmares, but he’s gained some internet fame as a broadcast jockey. She’s well aware of his livestream, but she wants to know more about the mysterious Kkot-soonie. He doesn’t know that much either and provides Gun-sook with some encouraging words and agrees to lend an ear whenever she likes. After business time, Ma-rin is caught up on how So-joon was doing in 2022. He assures her that she was a great caretaker and believes that their future will be brighter now that he’s come back to her. He asks her how she’s been doing, happy to hear that she won an award for her work. She says things haven’t been too hard for her, then amends that statement “It was sort of hard, but I suddenly can’t seem to remember any of it because I’m so happy.” He asks to see the exhibition, stopping at the set of candid photos of himself. He teasingly asks how she handled missing him so much, and she answers, “You came to me whenever I was about to forget you.” She explains that he would come find her from the past, whether that was a video message or dumplings or a chance encounter. “And whenever I missed you so much, I even went around looking for you.” She saw his past selves wait outside their house or head to Ki-doong’s place or by Seoul Station. She remembers their strained conversation on the street nearby Ki-doong’s old place, and confesses that she was out looking for him that day. March 25, 2019. Ma-rin’s parents are on their way to see their daughter’s photo exhibition. Mom reminds her husband of how he left them, and when she puts her arm through his, he wriggles it out to grab her by the shoulder. Cute. Both of them are taken aback to see So-joon there, and Mom greets her son-in-law with a hug. While Ma-rin drags Mom away, her father calls So-joon out to berate him on being foolish enough to return to this day. But So-joon tells him to give it a rest since time is of the essence, because today is also Ma-rin’s father’s last day. Ma-rin had told him how her father was a fellow survivor of the 2009 subway crash, which means they all share the same fate. Ma-rin’s father corrects him, saying that he lives for three more days. But So-joon says no one else knows what will happen today, and ever since he learned of his ability to time travel, there wasn’t a single day when he didn’t worry about the future. Oddly enough, he feels at peace today of all days, as if what he has now is enough. He won’t give up hope since he has to take Ma-rin to the fireworks show tonight and there’s so much he wants to do with her. He’s told that the moment he chooses to give up will be the end, and says that he isn’t giving up—he plans on spending a happy day together with Ma-rin today. Ma-rin’s father plans on being a better parent to his daughter once they get past this hurdle today, and asks if So-joon remembers the story about his daughter who lived happily with her husband. So-joon remembers that story as the one used to coerce him into a relationship with Ma-rin. It’s only now that Ma-rin’s father admits that story was wishful thinking, but he honestly thought that they looked good together and would be happy together, whether that would be for one year or a decade. “But I don’t know if I did the right thing,” he gulps. So-joon thanks him for bringing them together, promising to call him “Father” if they should see each other tomorrow “I wish you the best of luck… Father.” Ma-rin comes outside to collect So-joon and hopes that everyone can go out to dinner soon. So-joon tells her in a low voice to speak to her father some more, but Ma-rin says they have to go. She takes him to City Hall, reminding him how they were supposed to register their marriage the day he disappeared. She grumbles to find the form right next to the divorce form, but brightens when they fill out the document. Ma-rin then takes out her camera to record this historic moment, and after telling So-joon to smile, she asks how he feels about making their marriage official. “I’m happy,” he says solemnly before adding, “I love you.” She’s still smiling when they go out for coffee afterward, giggling how they’re officially a family. So-joon points out a poem written on the table, entitled “Visitor” by Jung Hyun-jong In truth, one’s visit is a tremendous thing for he comes with his past, present, and future for it is because he comes with his whole life Ma-rin says that sounds like them and thinks they can leave a message behind like this one. Another patron chimes in to inform her that’s a famous poem, and So-joon lets out a stifled laugh. They laugh about it outside because they both had no idea it was a poem by a famed poet. He asks what they should do next, and she says they should go see the fireworks. He agrees to take the bus there, and she runs ahead of him to find the bus stop. Waitaminute, you’re not gonna go after her?! Ma-rin reaches the street corner, where a man bumps into her, causing their marriage certificate to fly out of her hands. She runs into the street to pick it up and hold it up victoriously, and So-joon runs into the street after her and holds her close. Shit, you can’t move five feet?! But then the oncoming car swerves to avoid them it’s Ma-rin’s father, who stops right in right of oncoming traffic. So-joon and Ma-rin lift their heads to see him smile at them… just before the cars crash into him. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore,” we hear So-joon narrate. “Just like the guilt I suffered when I lost my parents in the Namyeong Station crash… Ma-rin and I will face many painful days to come because of this day. But still we’ll forget… how precious this day was.” March 2022. Ma-rin and So-joon argue before breakfast, him complaining that Ma-rin hasn’t bothered to learn how to cook, her stating that he’s been spending an awful lot on commuter costs—he’s still time traveling, isn’t he? She complains that his constant trips are why they haven’t been able to get pregnant yet because he puts his manhood through so much on the subway. She reminds him that they even wrote up a contract and she feels disappointed whenever he breaks his promises to her. So-joon argues that she only allows him to travel to the future to buy her pretty things, and gets worked up when she says he hardly works. She tells him to stop yelling, and he can tell that she’s upset again. Ma-rin says he’s changed so much, but doesn’t allow him to slip away to leave things the way they are. But he says he has to provide, so she barks at him to leave and pushes him out of the way. In the car, So-joon wonders what he did to deserve being yelled at all the time, then his phone alerts him to another one of Ma-rin’s scheduled emails addressed to him. He pulls over to check it. As he smiles, we hear him say that he still receives Ma-rin’s emails from the past from time to time… back when every second meant so much. He calls to apologize to Ma-rin and ask his Kkot-soonie out on a date. She asks, “When?” “Today,” So-joon replies. COMMENTS Heartbreakingly beautiful. My heart was caught in my throat for the majority of this finale because while I yearned for a happy ending for a couple, I honestly thought they might not live to see it. Things did look dire when So-joon was trapped in the future, unable to do anything but wait as the present kept going. I could feel So-joon’s deep sense of loneliness, having to live in a broken future that didn’t include Ma-rin. I’m not quite sure how So-joon knew that he’d make it back in time before he read all of Ma-rin’s scheduled emails, but then again, the writing has only passively suggested the rules of time travel—perhaps the same amount of time seem to pass regardless of when So-joon is. It certainly seemed like Fate was on their side when So-joon wanted to return to Ma-rin most, and just in time to spend a short time together before D-Day. Given my deep love for this couple and my deeper desire to see them reunited, however, I didn’t mind the idea of So-joon’s love and yearning winning out to bring them back together. Even though I knew something big would’ve had to happen if our couple had any shot of being together for the long haul, I honestly thought that So-joon was prepared to die with her. His words about peace and appreciating the time he and Ma-rin had left together sounded like a dying man about to breathe his last breath. But if I’m to step back and look upon their relationship as a whole, I’m far more impressed by Ma-rin, whose life was changed forever because our hero thought it should. She opened her heart to a man who originally had no plans of getting involved in her life, and waited for her time traveling husband to come back to her. Even in her most hopeless of moments about their future together, she was still fighting for him, desperately hoping that he’d be able to come back. Her concern was rooted in their present whereas So-joon clung to the future. I thought it sweet of her to try and catch glimpses of So-joon whenever she could despite knowing that those time traveling So-joons wasn’t the one who disappeared. Then there’s Ki-doong, who I absolutely love to pieces. Not only was he So-joon’s confidante, he also became Ma-rin’s partner in crime. His friendships with them made me laugh and cry, and I can’t ever forget him for asking the hard-hitting questions about time travel and about life. His scenes tore at my heartstrings, and he was always present with So-joon no matter what year his buddy came from. I admit to being upset with him being so hung up on Se-young in the beginning, but her character became much easier to watch and more relevant once she got together with Ki-doong. A part of me is sad that it took Doo-shik’s sacrifice for our couple to have a bright future, since that means that Mom is once again alone. He couldn’t have possibly known that they would be at that street corner at that time and be hit by the other car in the opposite direction… or did he? I suppose we’ll never know, like how we’ll never know how or when Doo-shik’s time traveling ability began. While I won’t write up Tomorrow With You as one of my favorite attempts at time travel alone, I can say I greatly enjoyed the romance between our main couple. Shin Mina and Lee Je-hoon shared an electrifying chemistry onscreen that even made the most mundane moments of married life feel real and normal. You could tell how much fun the actors had with these characters, and I swear I caught a moment or two of either Shin Mina or Lee Je-hoon about to crack a smile. We needed to feel So-joon and Ma-rin’s magnetic need to be with one another as well as a reason to root for them to be together. Both Shin and Lee knocked it out of the park in that regard, and I feel like I need to watch a ton of behind-the-scenes clips to get my fill. Tomorrow With You may not have been a perfect ride, but I can say with confidence that I loved how beautiful the melancholic and contemplative beats of the story were played out in the show’s direction. In many ways, I felt like our resident time traveler trying my best to remain present while my mind was worrying about the future. But then I’m reminded that time only moves in one direction for us, so the best thing we can do is to appreciate every moment and hope that our actions now will help create an even better future.

Getting to know a girl won’t be easy when only one of them is aware of what lies ahead, but neither of them will be prepared when one fateful decision opens up a new chapter in their lives. EPISODE 1 RECAP In the near future, December 2018, an intense Starcraft match is underway between renowned gamer Lim Yo-hwan versus an AI named AlphaCraft. Tensions run high in the arena, but Lim pulls out of the match, victorious. A man revels from his living room, and the subjective point of view allows us to see his surroundings through his eyes. He muses that another year is coming to a close, and he buys a birthday gift before heading down to the subway. Once the camera angle shifts, we can see his face—this is YOO SO-JOON Lee Je-hoon, who remains calm as the lights above flicker and his fellow passengers disappear… and the subway car hurtles back to the present June 2016. As So-joon removes his winter coat, he explains in voiceover “I’m a time-traveler. I take the subway and travel to and from the future.” He knows that there are people out there who’d like to know what their futures may hold, but he won’t take any of their questions. This is because he takes no interest in other people’s lives, he narrates, as he walks past a street memorial adorned with photos and flowers. Elsewhere at an outdoor wedding photo shoot, the entire bridal party laughs awkwardly when the photographer can tell that the bridesmaids aren’t close with the bride. She brusquely instructs the bridesmaid to the far right Shin Mina to fall in line with the others, and tells the happy groom that this must be his first marriage. That doesn’t sit well with the bride LEE GUN-SOOK Kim Ye-won, who reminds her bridesmaids through gritted teeth that they can forget the customary monetary gifts for the upcoming ceremony if they smile for the photos, and that does the trick. So-joon swings by a cafe to see his friends KANG KI-DOONG and the birthday girl, SHIN SE-YOUNG. Ki-doong seems to know about his friend’s time-traveling ability whereas Se-young doesn’t, and So-joon uses vague terms to describe just how fashion forward her present is. He has to run to attend to “a matter of life-and-death,” and his phone reminder provides the details SONG MA-RIN, car accident. 414 PM. During a break, the bridesmaids complain about being part of a wedding for a girl they’ve hated for fifteen years now. Still, they’re more impressed by their friend Ma-rin for showing up at all today. Now we finally put a face to the name, as Ma-rin seeks out the photographer, hoping that she’d look at her portfolio. But the photographer recognizes Ma-rin as a former child actress, and the latter’s attempt to laugh off that comment is foiled by Gun-sook’s arrival. When the photographer leaves, Ma-rin takes off after her, explaining that she and the bride aren’t that close. In truth, she’d hoped to meet the photographer today, having studied photography for seven years herself. Thankfully her persistence pays off, and the photographer grudgingly accepts her portfolio. So-joon arrives at the park as the wedding photo session resumes, and passersby also recognize Ma-rin from her child actress days. Looking toward her, he narrates, “I’m going to change her fate today… because my life might be held in that woman’s hands.” D-20 minutes. He passes the bridal party on the street, knowing that Ma-rin will decline a meal with the others and opt to grab a cup ramyun at a convenience store instead. She does exactly that, but then puts it back and exits, having noticed the strange guy following her around today. D-5 minutes. So-joon runs up to get her attention by grabbing her arm and calling her by name, much to her alarm. Ma-rin flatly refuses his offer for coffee, and when he touches her arm again, she defensively wraps her arms around herself. She says she doesn’t know him and walks away, but then we see a glimpse into Ma-rin’s immediate future if she steps into the crosswalk within the next minute a truck slamming into her. Thus in a last-ditch effort, So-joon blurts out “I-saw-you-in-the-street-and-I thought-you-were-so-beautiful-that-I wanted-to-have-coffee-with-you!” Smooth. Still, those words successfully get Ma-rin to stop and ask how he knows her name. She stops him upon hearing that he knows her as the former child actress, and admits she feels uncomfortable. She refrains from speaking further, but So-joon encourages her to keep talking, hoping to stall her for at least another two minutes. He can tell from her smile that she must be tired of constantly being hit on by strangers, and tries asking her out one more time. But Ma-rin declines and marches toward the crosswalk… …And So-joon pulls her back from the oncoming truck just in time. Rather than thanking him for saving her life, Ma-rin plucks his arm off of hers and reminds him that he shouldn’t do that. She walks off, but then turns back to remark that he’s rather clumsy with his approach with women. With that, she skips off into the street. Just as So-joon’s phone reminder beeps, he hears honking and a thud. Oh no. He walks into the street, where Ma-rin is lying unconscious. The flustered driver swears he didn’t hit her; she fainted. So-joon knows she did and comments, “How can you pass out on your own?” In the hospital, So-joon reads up on Ma-rin, who won viewers’ hearts at the age of six in 1991, when she played a girl who loved rice hence her nickname “Bap-soon-ie” in a 50-episode drama about a group of independence fighters. As an adult, she’s infamous for her drunkenness, which is often captured on social media. Often times, she’ll sleep practically anywhere outside, and other netizens have seen her talking to a phantom in a pojangmacha. So-joon is both amazed and amused by her life choices, but bristles upon recalling her earlier comment about his lousy game with women. Ma-rin comes to just then, wondering if she must’ve been in an accident. So-joon reassures her that she’ll be fine, adding that it wouldn’t hurt to get her liver screened. Heh. When she tries to get up, he settles her back down onto the bed, saying softly that she might still be dizzy. Ma-rin grows shy, which has So-joon toss her own words back at her about being clumsy. He says that if it’s fate they’ll meet again, and leaves. A little later, Ma-rin’s mother anxiously rushes into the hospital, asking around for her celebrity daughter. Ma-rin ushers her mother outside, embarrassed that she’d still try to use her former fame with strangers. But what Ma-rin hates most is her mother spinning lies to her latest boyfriend, knowing full well that Mom will date someone else next month. Climbing into a taxi, Ma-rin leaves her mother behind and checks to make sure she’s far away enough before getting out. As she rides the bus, we hear So-joon narrate that today was the first time he met Ma-rin in real life and the first time he’s saved someone’s life ever since his time-traveling trips began. He wonders, “Why would that strange, absurd woman and I end up dying on the same day and time?” We catch up with Ma-rin, who takes pictures for an online shopping mall model, who wonders if they’ll ever find success. Her frenemy Gun-sook calls to enlist her help, slyly offering to put in a good word for her with the photographer via her new husband. Ma-rin declines, knowing that she’ll be forever indebted to Gun-sook; she vows to become a successful photographer on her own. Cut to Ma-rin accompanying Gun-sook to shop for home furnishings. Gun-sook brags about her future husband, an executive director in a real estate investment company named MyReits. He’s the reason why the photographer made a fortune, so she took their wedding pictures to stay in his good graces. While Ma-rin simply wants to know if the photographer has taken a look at her work, Gun-sook says she’s better off getting married and offers to set her up with her husband’s secretary/errand boy. Having heard enough, Ma-rin chokes Gun-sook before dragging her by the arm, barking at her to buy all the expensive things she loves to flaunt. Speaking of whom, Gun-sook’s husband-to-be director KIM YONG-JIN arrives at the office with his secretary, and tells Ki-doong to take the next elevator. But everyone immediately shows deference when So-joon shows up, since he’s the CEO. He asks if the secretary will be joining them before laughing it off moments later, and the four men head up together awkwardly. So-joon breaks the ice, asking whether Director Kim’s upcoming wedding is his second or third. He’s told that this is the director’s first marriage, and when he hears there’s a ten-year age gap between the director and his bride, he gives the director a thumbs-up. Director Kim puts on a presentation about investing in a city that he believes will be booming in about 25 years. He’s confident that there’s positive change happening there, so they should invest now. The other execs aren’t so sure, so Director Kim says he’s heard whispers that a rival company is eyeing that land. But So-joon, who’s been busy playing games on his phone, chimes in that the area won’t turn a profit. Wait, have you seen it yourself? Getting up, he points to a mountainous area west of the city, arguing that this area will be cheap to buy now. When asked why he’s chosen that land, So-joon casually replies that he’s working off a feeling. He then amends his statement by stating that his intel suggests that this presently unpopular land will be extremely profitable. Oh, and everyone should keep this among themselves. But Director Kim would like to know where So-joon’s information came from, to which So-joon says he can talk if Director Kim will disclose his own sources. Ooh. Keeping his tone light, So-joon points out that his opinions have always worked out for this company, whereas Director Kim spends his time entertaining bigwigs. He bats away the argument that this presentation was based on data and research until he finally raises his voice in frustration “It doesn’t feel right!” He calls an end to this meeting right then and there, which leaves Director Kim fuming. Afterward, his secretary wonders why their boss would even bother holding a meeting if he’ll end up ignoring any ideas anyway. It makes him wonder if So-joon is harboring a birth secret or influential connections, but Director Kim is too enraged to hear any ideas. In their office, Ki-doong nags So-joon about being a little smoother around their employees when it comes to his future real estate predictions. So-joon thinks he couldn’t have gone easy on Director Kim’s suggestions, since he couldn’t very well say that he saw the plans fail in the future. He whines at Ki-doong to get his attention, then rattles off a series of lottery numbers… that Ki-doong quickly jots down. Ha. Ki-doong barks that he doesn’t believe So-joon anyway, since his time-traveling buddy swore not to tell him anything about his own future. It then occurs to him that the numbers were a lie, and So-joon laughs, reminding him that the reason why he stays out of people’s lives is because the smallest adjustment in the present could lead to drastic consequences in the future. “But recently… I got involved in someone’s life,” So-joon divulges. He says he heroically saved a person, which would normally get a grateful response. Ki-doong wonders if it was an acquaintance, or better yet, a woman. So-joon nods, and when his buddy asks if she’s pretty, he admits, “A tad.” Ma-rin is busy cleaning her messy abode and admonishing herself for drinking too much, only to tell herself that she’ll keep drinking. She opens a dusty album containing a series of black and white photos when she gets a call from the photographer’s studio informing her that she’s been accepted. Unfortunately, Ma-rin finds out that she’s scored a spot in the academy, not on the photographer’s crew. She gets a chance to confront the photographer herself, who believes Ma-rin is someone who failed as an actress and thinks she can just move from in front of the camera to behind it. Stepping in front of her, Ma-rin speaks up “You must think that what you see is all there is.” She says she was a fan of the photographer’s work because those photos went deeper than face value, and she took up photography to prove that what people see on the surface isn’t everything. When the photographer calls her Bap-soon, Ma-rin boldly states, “My name is Song Ma-rin.” But the photographer scoffs at those idealistic statements, reminding her that she had her friend pull strings for her here. On the subway ride home, Ma-rin thinks to herself how she was reborn here seven years ago. She’d gotten off at another station after getting into an argument with a stranger for taking a photo of her. As it happened, that decision had saved her life because the subway car exploded shortly afterward. “I sometimes wonder if there must be a reason why I was saved [from that],” she thinks to herself. “Could there be something more special in the future waiting for me? I wish that were true.” Unbeknownst to her, So-joon appears behind her in the same car on the way back from another time-traveling journey. He first turns away in surprise, then walks up her to say hello. He places a hand on her shoulder while remarking on this coincidence, and although she shrugs him off, he follows her off the train and asks her to dinner. Pointing out that he keeps touching her, Ma-rin politely tells him to stop since he’s a stranger. He notes that she’s kept count and she replies that she’s old-fashioned like that. He teases that her word choice of “touching her” seems rather risqué when he would call it “holding onto her.” She stops to ask if he’s from overseas, because he’s touched a woman he barely knows and doesn’t know when to stop. She walks away to pay her brief respects to the street memorial we saw earlier. So-joon says he didn’t know people still stopped by this place, but when she starts walking away from him again, he invites her out for a drink. Next thing we know, Ma-rin is already on her second beer and enjoys the experience of drinking with a stranger. Worried that she’s drinking too quickly, he asks for food, but she refuses. After learning that she’s a photographer, So-joon asks her for her age, which prompts her to narrow in on why he wants to know. She declares that this will be their final beer, and they drink. Cut to Drunk Ma-rin saying that she doesn’t look 31 years old, though So-joon says she does. He tells her that he’s 30, so she drops the formalities and asks in banmal if he’s employed. She interprets his initial pause to mean that he’s jobless, and So-joon explains that he’s the CEO of a real estate investment firm. But she mishears him, thinking that he runs a neighborhood real estate agency. Calling him “Realtor,” she asks why he was so quick to obsess over her the first time they met. Offended, So-joon barks that that couldn’t have been the first time a stranger hit on her, and Ma-rin drunkenly winks back with a smile “Noona understands.” She later staggers to the bathroom, where he helps her keep the door closed and tells her to fix her clothes when she bursts out of the stall. They keep drinking at another pojangmacha where So-joon agrees to not ever like her. Ma-rin asks what he finds so pretty about her—while people think it’s her eyes, she believes it’s her legs and shows them off. He calls her bluff to show him then, and she clams up, saying that she doesn’t sleep with guys so easily. She doesn’t play the dating game, and she isn’t as innocent as she looks, so he’d better not like her, she warns. “You’ll only get hurt! I’ll rip your heart into shreds.” So-joon sighs that he can’t tell who’s clinging onto whom anymore, but Ma-rin keeps drunkenly arguing her point—his friends will mock him for dating Bap-soon-ie, the former child actress who’s now a has-been. If they date, he’ll grow sick of complete strangers chewing her out like bar snacks “Who knows? You could be one of them.” He thinks she’s overreacting over some childhood fame, and while he doesn’t know what being a child actor was like, he does know that people are too busy leading their own lives to care about what goes on in other people’s lives. He says she must have a lot of time on her hands to let those comments sink in, and when she gets up to hit him, he takes her wrist and says, “Life is too short to be hung up on the past.” She hits him anyway, asking if he expected her heart to skip a beat at those words. He sits in the taxi with her, as she drunkenly murmurs that the sun will rise tomorrow. As the subway whizzes by them, So-joon recalls the one trip to the future when he found out about his own death. It was in the future on March 25, 2019, when a major accident took place, and he saw himself and Ma-rin covered in blood and taken away by gurneys. Before reality could sink in, a man grabbed him, saying that So-joon must return to the present immediately. Oho, another time-traveler? He was told that he could disappear if he didn’t return before his future self dies on this day at 915 PM. When they safely returned, So-joon divulged that he previously couldn’t travel to that date, but he knows now that was because he’d die that day. He told his fellow time-traveler that he planned on living another fifty years, so the man suggested that he look for the woman who would die alongside him in the future. So-joon was surprised to hear that he and that woman would die together in the same hospital. He argues that he didn’t even get a good look at her face, but the time-traveler encouraged him to look for her anyway “She’s currently the only person involved in your death, and who knows? She could hold a key in saving your life. You have less than three years left.” In the morning, Ma-rin yells at her disheveled shelf in the mirror, hoping that she didn’t embarrass herself too much. “You didn’t say your legs were pretty did you?” she wonders, then remembers saying it seconds later. She picks up her phone and chucks it away before reaching for it and covering the screen. She braces herself and slowly draws her hand back to reveal a drunken selca. Uh, lots of selcas. Humiliated, she buries her face in her bed, refusing to accept anything that happened last night… and then runs over to hurl. She’s still pretty hungover when she leaves her house, but declares that she’ll start anew again today because she won’t see “Realtor.” But then the nausea kicks in, and she curls up on the street. So-joon is a stone’s throw away in his car with his fellow time-traveler DOO-SHIK Jo Han-chul. He can’t believe that a woman like her could hold the answers to his survival, and Doo-shik says they’ll need to wait and see. Doo-shik remarks that she’s pretty, to which So-joon says he cares more about what a person is like on the inside. He’s told not to worry since it’s not like they’ll live under the same roof or something, so So-joon decides to get to know her, but set clear boundaries. He sneaks out of the car and approaches Ma-rin, who tries shuffling away and awkwardly commenting on the nice weather. He acts as if their paths just happened to cross, but they both know better, and before Ma-rin can apologize for last night, So-joon does so first. He claims to have blacked out last night, so he’d like to apologize if he did anything wrong by her. He says he can’t remember anything, and when he contemplates whether or not to try to remember, Ma-rin tells him not to. She does, however, point out that he’s speaking in banmal, and he finds it so natural that it makes him think they got much closer last night. He hopes that they “happen” see each other again, and he doubles back to give her an umbrella saying that she’ll need it. She says she checked the weather before leaving today, and So-joon muses aloud “Because it could just happen to rain.” Aww, that’s better. He waits until she’s gone to return to his car to ask Doo-shik for a favor, only to find him gone. Ma-rin heads out to her shoot, where the model thanks her for saving her from losing her job. A sudden shower drives them to seek cover, and Ma-rin marvels at the rain. Back home, So-joon is about to leave just as a drenched Ki-doong arrives. He reminds his friend that he said it’d rain today, and shuts down the idea of creating an app since it’ll put the meteorologists out of business. Ki-doong remarks that So-joon’s trips to the “other world” have become more frequent as of late, and the friends make plans for later that day. So-joon then travels three months into the future to walk back into his own home… …which is now lined with wedding photos of him and Ma-rin. He gapes at the portraits, and is spooked when Ma-rin appears in a robe behind him. She teases that he’s home early, saying that he’s being too obvious about being a newlywed. Flabbergasted, he stammers, “Newly… newlywed? We’re… newlyweds?” Back in the present, Ma-rin opens the umbrella So-joon gave her to take a happy walk in the rain. COMMENTS Wow, what a whirlwind of a premiere; my mind is still trying to catch up. I’d been looking forward to Tomorrow With You since time travel is a theme I typically enjoy. It’s that dimensions-crossing quality and the fear of possible doom by one wrong move that keeps me intrigued, and at present hur, this drama stirs my curiosity. Narratively, time travel is always a tricky concept since the writer not only needs to know the desired ending, but also consider the alternative threads that are dependent on the characters’ decisions. I love that we were thrown into one of our hero’s trips to the near future through his eyes, which enabled us to establish the premise right away. As cool as that was, I have a lot of questions about the logistics and rules in this ability, starting with Does no one either in the future or present see a man appear and disappear from their respective subway cars? I’m guessing not, since no one seems to react to our resident time-traveler So-joon, but perhaps that gives credence to his statement that people are usually too busy with their own lives to care about other people. We don’t know when So-joon’s time-traveling ability began, but I do find it strange that for someone who is staunchly against sharing information about the future, he does drop small hints that could have a ripple effect, like the birthday gift or telling people about the weather. It makes me question where exactly he draws the line—does he make decisions in the present that will directly affect his own future and hopefully not for others? Basically what I want to know is if the rules here are more like Back to the Future with the potential for alternative realities or if So-joon is in a causal loop where no matter what changes he’s made, he’s still headed toward the same future. What we can gather from So-joon so far is that he started time-traveling at an unknown date, told his buddy Ki-doong about his trips, found out about his own death, started searching for Ma-rin and saw her own accident in perhaps a different trip, and finally found her in our current present. I do wonder if the times he travels to are intentional, or if he hangs around and then comes back. I also question how much time passes in the present while he’s in the future, and if he ever returns to the same day. And I so desperately want to know how Doo-shik comes into play. I can already see myself falling into a rabbit hole of questions, which on one hand is a good thing because it means I want to know more, and on the other hand, I still want to wait for this dramaverse to establish its own boundaries of time travel. So far, I do like Ma-rin, who has passion and speaks up for herself. Even when she and So-joon first met, she set boundaries with the potentially creepy stalker dude following her around all afternoon. Although there was some attraction, Ma-rin reminded him that he was still a stranger until that legendary night of meeting the drunk Bap-soon-ie. It can’t be easy trying to make a name as an adult when everyone, including her own mother, uses a quarter-century-old reference to put her in a box, and we don’t know how arduous the struggle has been. And as much as people know her only for her child actor days, Ma-rin also generalizes the population for thinking that’s all she is. So even though So-joon has no idea what it’s been like to carry an emotional burden like this one for the majority of his life like Ma-rin has, he has a point when he says that life is too short to be hung up on the past… Though maybe living in the present is better than worrying about the future.
