It’s nice to have you, in every timeline

I think this show is a lot better than people give credit for. It’s one of a kind in the cdrama realm, or at least I’ve yet to watch anything like this. I enjoyed the different layers of mystery, unfolding layer by layer through time travel. If you look past some illogical bits and just focus on the story and mystery around it all, you’ll be in for a ride! Each ep is succinct so it’s very easy to binge watch. I hardly skipped any scenes hence I didn’t find the time travel confusing, in fact if you just watch, it’s very clear which point of time they’re in. While their time travel may seem repetitive going back and forth, the plot always thickens in every timeline and there are always new developments.

I loved the side characters, especially the unwavering loyalty of the bestie and cop. Isn’t it comforting to know that in every time and space, there are people that remain constant? And it’s even more comforting to know that there’s one person with you in this time loop experiencing the same thing - so you’re never alone. It’s also less frustrating from a viewer’s POV (imagine if their memories are wiped each time they time traveled…). Plus points for the leads establishing their relationship sooner than later.

Of course, it’s the casting that made this work. Great performance from the leads and the side characters, never a dull moment. The plot and idea behind this drama is fresh and not cliche so you’ll find yourself trying to guess what happens next instead of predicting what happens. If you enjoy mysteries and romance, this is it!
