hot and cold ML
Overall: was not a fan of one ML being hot and cold. Too much time spent on obvious villains. 65 episodes a couple minutes each. Watch episodes 1-5 on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94xidyP8QrQ Note the uncut version is almost identical to the cut version, perhaps a few extra seconds of kissing so watch the uncut version. Aired on the Shortime app which also has: Double Play, Please Teach Me, Falling For My Boss, Summer Indigo, The Secrets of Male Students, Accent, Ippon: Hold Me Tight, Influencer Love, Blue Complex and Buddy Boy.

What I Liked
- that a ML tried to change his fate
- sweet moments
- perceptive co-worker
- intelligence shown in episode 50
Room For Improvement
- nonsense, who just stands and stares at an incoming car and also the car didn't break? then at the end they decide to walk on the street instead of the sidewalk
- episode 13 back hug felt very out of place
- cartoony villains, wish they had spent more time on the relationship development
- one of the MLs was hot and cold and I couldn't trust his feelings
- the non con sleeping kiss
- telling the plot through voice overs instead of showing the viewer
My Watch For Free Plan (updated Feb 2025)
1 friend referral code = 20 (1 time bonus) My invite link is https://playground.shortime.app/en/invite/NKNIWI - the code is NKNIWI (those are all capital letters, that's the capital letter i)
On the Rewards (popcorn bag icon page)
- check in = 5 (increases over 7 days up to 25)
- create a login = 20? (I did create a login because otherwise you only get 1 Always Win box instead of 3 per day, I think this was 20 popcorn)
- do the 3 random popcorn from the daily Always Win box = 30 (I'd normally get 5-15, around 30 in total)
- Watch Ads, watch all 10 ads each day, have to wait 30 seconds in between ads = 110
When you run out of popcorn while watching, you can watch 5 episodes each day with ads

Not A Strong Short Series
Maybe the fact that this series is very limited in time makes it lack so much, but it’s not the best. This story is about someone who gets in an accident, passes away and gets revived but now is a year in the past. This character with the knowledge he now has from his future self, he tries to do things differently and finds his little lover. While I’m not the biggest fan of this plot alone, it wasn’t really interpreted well, a lot felt rushed and like there wasn’t any sort of build up in the relationship, ever since the ML met the second ML, the second ML was extremely kind and interested in the first ML. Therefore it didn’t feel like anything was actually built, in the sense of their relationship and what led to it. But regardless it’s not the worst thing ever, not really my cup of tea, but not horrible. I wouldn’t 100% recommend, just because there’s better out there. But anyway I rate this 7/10.Was this review helpful to you?
