A mediocre attempt at time travel

This drama took me by surprise when I initially watched the first five episodes. For the first time in a long while, I felt we had a refreshing story with minimal tropes and interesting characters. However, as the drama progresses, it loses its grip on the time travel plot, and what we get in the end is a mixed bag.

The Good

- The acting is solid across the board. While not the best I've seen, the actors did a commendable job given the depth of their characters.
- The chemistry between the leads is excellent, which is one of the main reasons I stuck with the drama. Both characters are mature, responsible, and well-spoken, traits that are rare in other dramas.
- This drama avoids many clichés and misunderstandings. It might seem otherwise at the beginning, but have patience and keep watching.

The Bad

- The plot is poorly written, with numerous flaws, plot holes, and unanswered questions.
- The drama needed more time or episodes, as the ending felt very rushed. While I liked the second leads, their screen time could have been reduced as it didn't significantly add value to the story and felt completely unnecessary in the end.

Personally, a time travel drama should be cleverly written with clear explanations, but this drama made an average attempt at best. The ending was influenced by China's censorship, but they cleverly hid the real ending behind that, so kudos for that.

The drama is not the best, but it's quite enjoyable and short enough to be easily binge-watched. I hope to see more attempts like this in the future, offering a variety of different dramas from what we usually know in C-dramas.
