Nothing much to say here.. The drama doesn’t bring anything fresh to the table.. Just the usual fantasy role swapping.. One character ends up in the past while the other takes her place in the future.. I actually liked how it started.. The first six episodes were good.. But after that, you could honestly just skip to the last two.. Episodes 7 to 10 felt like a drag and I genuinely hated a couple of scenes which served no real purpose other than making you question the FL’s character..

Acting wise, everyone did a decent job.. But still there weren’t any standout performances.. Just okay overall.. Loved the FL’s family.. And the FL herself was fun and chaotic to watch.. The couple was good.. Their chemistry was good.. Barring a couple of scenes, I think I liked pretty much everything else about them..

I would have rated this an 8 because it was enjoyable overall.. But one scene in particular irked me.. The FL lets another guy sleep on her lap.. And she falls asleep too.. This is the same guy the ML has issues with and had clearly told her to stay away from.. It felt completely out of place for a character who had been shown as deeply dedicated to the person she loves.. I mean imagine what would have happened if the ML had seen that?? I know it probably shouldn’t cloud my judgment but I can’t help it, it does.. Still the drama is worth watching if you can overlook a stretch of draggy plot.. For me?? Meh.. Overall a one time watch when there’s nothing better to do..
