Blue Birthday (2021– ) User Reviews

Love story, time travel and thriller in a high school set up, what's there not to like!

This drama is way better than I ever expected. Usually short dramas like this are a bit dull and predictable but this is completely the opposite.

It is a low budget drama and you can tell but I think this storyline benefits from it. There's no unnecessary dragging and it never gets boring. The script is extremely compelling and it will keep you glued to the screen until the end.

Its a very smart way if using time travel for this love story with the thriller twist to it. Very fresh.

The emotions and feelings of the main characters are palpable and you will root for them in their fight against the past. I love their unbreakable bond and how sweet their chemistry is.

You don't want to miss this one out!

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 6/10 · 2 October 2021]

Korean Mini Series 'Blue Birthday' is a nice blend of mystery and time travel fantasy. However, it didn't prevail in other areas.

That is, as most of the drama takes place in high school, after the main lead goes back in time to prevent her best friend's death, the whole school romance feeling, as well as the enjoyment of young friendship and, of course, the nostalgia factor, were lacking. And the action and thriller scenes provided by the mystery case did not aid to hide those mistakes well enough and they did end up being missed.

That said, the drama had its good moments. The fantasy element was well done and didn't get confusing. The performances were all top-notch too and enjoyable.

So, overall, 6 out of 10.

Not worthy

Don't waste your time here. The story was interesting but the execution was very poor. Their acting sucks. Yeri and Hong Seok had the chemistry tho. They all need improvements. 8.6/10.
