Drama Digest:

Hyo Min and Bo Seok have been best friends since they were kids and have been for over a decade. They first met when they were kids and then met again when Bo Seok saved Hyo Min from the bullies at school when they got a bit older; they’ve been together ever since. As adults, the two have struggled with their growing feelings for each other, unable to risk their friendship; they have been conflicted about their feelings. They have, on occasion, been more open about their feelings, but for some reason, they just can’t get the timing right. But all that changes when Hyo Min loses her memory, and Bo Seok is there to help her get her memories back and remember what they meant to each other. Something feels iffy. Will they finally get the timing right, or is there something else in store for them?

The Feel-Good Part:

This drama is short, so there’s not enough room for a developing plot, but it packages enough emotion for a satisfying watch. The drama captures all the important emotions and delivers them perfectly. It is paced very well and keeps the viewer on edge but also engrossed in the story. Since it’s a mini-series, it can be watched in one sitting.

The Disappointing Factor:

The plot with the amnesia appears to be cliched. The twist is not original and can be guessed by the third episode.

In-Depth Analysis:

Timing is a very interesting show about two childhood friends, who develop feelings for each other in their adulthood, but can’t quite get the timing right. It is a sweet, and heartbreaking story. The drama manages to grab all the right emotions and gives a touching ending to the show. It’s a straightforward story about love and friendship, and those in between.

Star Power:

The show’s cast isn’t very well-known, but their performance is applaud-worthy. They balance every emotion and expression perfectly. The supporting cast adds more to the story. The leads have very good chemistry with each other.

Overall Opinion:

This is a very heartfelt mini-series. The acting is so good, it makes the show a lot better. Even though the plot is slightly predictable, it’s a great watch with good characters and a touching story.
