The one thing that made me so angry is the big loophole. It stated that they could go back 10 months, they proceeded to do a repeat on 11 January 2018 but then they came back on 24 February 2017?? That doesn't make any sense, they should've come back on March 2017, and not on February if it's really 10 months. For some reason, this loophole pissed me off and incredibly bothered me.
I'm fond of Kanjiya Shiori, she looks stunning in this drama, but somehow her acting is very lacking in this drama.
And I don't have anything against Kanata Hongo, I don't love him nor do I hate him but he sucks at acting. I know that's quite mean but he doesn't have any expression. I noticed something about him in this drama, like whenever he had to show emotion like anger, sadness or shock, he blinked his eyes a lot, like A LOT! And that's the only expression he does in this drama to show some emotions which made me realize that he can't act.
The repeat thing is already interesting but damn the story line sucks. I solved most of the mystery rather quickly and just stuck watching the main characters fumbled around and suspecting each other. The romance is quite nice but it doesn't compensate for the horrible plot. I finished this drama in less than a day and that's only because I've been fast forwarding it like crazy.
Based on my opinion, I wouldn't recommend this drama to you.

Saved by the plot
I'd only ever heard of the KDrama remake and it was a first for me to see such a vast difference in ratings and views for a remake over the original. I thought of just going for the Korean one as it was more popular but I was just so curious to see why the Japanese didn't stand as high in regard.The answer? The first episode.
MY. God.
Some could argue it was the acting, pace or characters and filming but none of that really bothered me so much compared to the quite messy starter. I only chose not to drop it because of the one thing it did triumphant in; plot.
The premise was far too interesting to drop it on the go just because of a bad start and an unappealing lead, I needed to see what would occur after the Repeat and this looming mystery of some sudden changes happening that didn't seem to make sense.
I will say what made watching it easier is that all it's flaws grew less and less. The acting improved, the characters got great substance and moments that made me root and feel for them then the overall grand reveal was satisfying and added up to everything lastly. A lot of people call the ending a cliffhanger but it's more of an open ending. Final word of advice; do not watch this if you expect a fairytale ending. It is very far from that but I wouldn't quite call it a tragedy either
Also, if you like a story getting to the point and giving you answers sooner than dragging out, a Japanese adaption is always the way to go. I am thinking of watching the Korean version next to see what they can bring to the table.
