The premise about the time travel catching a killer is good and gets you involved. However after the strong start the main plot gets side tracked and the the show gets bogged down by the individual crimes. It feels like a procedural series with a different story every episode and that breaks the momentum. Not till the 7/8 episodes before the plot moves along and the connections between past and present start coming to the forefront. Then the emotional connection with the characters starts to play a part in the story. Ep 9&10 are quite exciting. Better to just have stuck to the main plot. It doesn't jump around too much in time and itbgets better later when he goes back in time again.
There is humor in the tone and some differences between the 80s and 2017. And that helps. Choi Jin Hyuk is quite good. The female lead professor is too stony faced even if it is part of the character. Should have been a 12 episode series. The last episodes are dragged out especially. Felt repetitive.
And the ending instead of all the goodbyes more time could have been spent showing how he changed things when going back for the last time.
It's a story with potential just too long with unnecessary scenes and dialog that break up the momentum.
