Reviews
"The Time We Were Not in Love" received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. It holds an IMDb rating of 7.1/10, indicating a generally favorable reception. Critics praised Ha Ji-won's performance, highlighting her chemistry with Lee Jin-wook as a strong point that brought authenticity to the story. However, some reviews noted that the series struggled with pacing and lacked the emotional intensity expected from a romantic melodrama, leading to some predictability in the plot. On MyDramaList, viewers appreciated the show's attempt to realistically portray friendship and love, although some felt the storyline was slow to develop. AsianWiki comments mentioned the adaptation from the Taiwanese drama "In Time with You" was faithful but did not add significant new elements, which could feel repetitive to fans familiar with the original. Despite its flaws, the heartfelt acting and relatable characters helped the show maintain a steady fanbase, marking it as a sincere, if somewhat conventional, addition to the romance genre.
