Short dramas are the best. No filler, no tangents, just a good story delivered straight into your lap.

The plot itself isn't groundbreaking but the execution sealed the deal for me. It's more about the journey of a girl going all in after she's given a second chance in life rather than a romance, something I really came to appreciate by the end of the show.

On the music side, one pet peeve I have is that Chinese dramas tend to have cringy and exaggerated music for sad scenes which is extremely off-putting, so I'm glad to see this drama forego that for some amazing OST that actually made me tear up. But I cry a lot during dramas so maybe it's not that amazing lol

Most of the actors were rookies when they made this show and they were pretty solid. I have no complaints because I was immersed the whole time. Well, maybe one complaint — the show wasn't long enough for them to really show off their skills. Season 2, please!

Just watch "W: Two Worlds" instead, it's much more satisfying and edge-of-your-seat compared to this lukewarm soup.

The story had great potential in the beginning and then went downhill because it lacked clear direction, meandering towards interesting concepts but never fully exploring them. At the end you're left with a nagging feeling that this could have been so much better than what it ended up being. I'm still upset by how big of a letdown it was.

The cast's acting was on point but I kind of see where critics of Park Shin Hye come from; there's nothing overtly wrong with her acting but there were moments where I was taken out of the immersion because of her. I still like her though.

The music is phenomenal and doesn't deserve this show.

Rewatch value... none. I went into this with high expectations because W is one of my all-time favorite dramas and this had the same writer. I was so ecstatic, expecting another masterpiece that would blow me away. Instead I wasted half the show playing games on my phone because I was bored. Rewatching this would be like dragging me backwards through hell for the 9th time :'(

Verdict: don't bother. The romance might appeal to some but there are a ton of shows out there that have way better writing and characterization. If you're looking for a twisty and interesting sci-fi kdrama, the following are much better alternatives:

- Are You Human? (Seo Kang Joon. nuff said)
- Duel (hot doppelgangers ahoy)
- Circle (flashbacks with actual purpose)
- I'm Not a Robot (heavily more romance than sci-fi, but I'm recommending this because the romance is so much better than this show)
- The Gifted (Thai drama of students with powers)
- W: Two Worlds (my one and only love!)
