I think it was a highly anticipated drama because of the cast. Their promotional video was quirky and really interesting too. The storyline was interesting and kept me thinking 'what's gonna happen next?' Having said that, time slip dramas are usually a little tricky and makes me burn with thousands of questions.

Bong Pil (Kim Jae Joong) is a 28 year old guy who has been in love with Kang Soo Jin(Uee) since forever. However, he never has the courage to confess because of his low self confidence. The drama starts off with Soo Jin pre wedding ceremony. Bong Pil drank and disrupts the ceremony. At first I thought the Bong Pil's character was too much, shouting and screaming almost for the whole of the first episode. Over time, the character grew on me. Oh, and Jae Joong is more muscular now. *grins*

He fell into a manhole at midnight and ended up in high school. It was so fun to watch. I expected him to get stuck in his high school days and the story will unfold from there. But nooooo, it got even fun-ner. LOL. He went in and out of the Manhole at midnight and his immediate future changes depending on his actions in the past. There were really hilarious moments and sad ones too. It was unpredictable and fun. I loved it.

It was one of the dramas which I watched right to the final episode, interested. I was so eager and excited to find out the ending. The ending was clever and satisfying. I would really recommend people to watch Manhole if you like light hearted and superficial dramas.

On a side note, I really think Uee looks better previously. She is really slim now and it's kinda scary. No doubt she is still really pretty but I still think she looks better with more flesh.

Till the next scoop,
