Together with an interpreter he met during one of his tours, he tries to discover a new career path. ✖️✖️✖️ The first few episodes were really slooooow. I almost gave up on it thinking the story wouldn't pick up but I was too intrigued with the pairing of the characters. ✔️✔️✔️ Once the pace picked up and the story was finally more interesting, it became a gift that keeps on giving. The lines in this show were very true to life. They're just like the conversations you have with your friends. I haven't seen any of the lead characters in any show before so that was refreshing for me. The soundtrack Run To You by LUCY was good.  There's an LGBT plot here and I loved how it was handled.

That's the dilemma shown in Go Back Couple. As a married couple, the lead characters experience a lot of challenges day in and day out. When they reached their breaking point, they finally decide to live their lives separately. Bur right after filing for divorce and after throwing their wedding bands, they wake up the next day and find themselves living in the past. Fantasy series are usually complicated and would require so much focus and attention but GBC is not like that at all. The story was written smoothly so it was easy to watch. I feel that they were able to show the realities of what goes on in a marriage and if you're married, you'll probably realize that it's not just you who's going through a difficult time. What affected me more though was the female lea...
