Wow!!!
This is my first Taiwanese drama but I heard so many great things about it, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did because WOW!! This drama managed to intrinsically weave together a complex storyline in the most beautiful and meticulous way. It was absolutely amazing in its execution, depth, creativity, and attention to detail.... leaving me guessing throughout each episode. It was one of the rare dramas where you actually have NO idea where the plot is going and you don’t want to miss a single moment in case you skip something important. For a time travel drama, this was such a masterpiece and so tightly written that loopholes were few and far between (an amazing feit considering how complex this drama was).
The leads in this drama.... my goodness.... even in my novice eyes, they were a 10. How they managed to play vastly different characters so convincingly and completely was amazing. Their relationship was beautiful and the leads delivery were rich, full of depth, heartwarming, and heartbreaking. It was a love that transcended time and they completely drew me into their world(s). I applaud how the drama tackled issues of mental health and depression. It was a very real portrayal of how dark depression can be and you don’t just simply wake up the next day and feel better. It’s a dark place to climb out of and many grow tired and weary... as do those around them, when you just want someone to “be happy”.
I thought the drama wrapped up its story line well and I was even convinced it was the best choice they had... then again the tragedies during the drama made me feel like ANY other outcome was better than what they had gone through!! I’m sure like many others, we wanted more from the ending ... BUT the bonus scene was icing on the cake. I’m thankful they filmed it and gave those of us that needed more closure, a chance to take a sigh of relief knowing our beloved leads were where they were suppose to be.
