A Binge-Worthy Short Drama
Recently, I’ve found myself gravitating more toward short dramas, and this wonderful, binge-worthy series proves that short dramas, when executed well, are just as captivating—if not even better—than full-length dramas. This particular drama masterfully blends sci-fi time travel elements with heartfelt romance, raising the question of whether love can truly overcome obstacles and endure the test of time.
The story follows a couple, Chen Jiawen and Shen Meng, who decide to break up after four years together. However, they find themselves trapped in a time loop, forced to relive the day of their breakup over and over again. This fantastical scenario compels them to re-examine their four-year relationship from new perspectives, as it challenges the strength of their love. To escape the endless cycle and break free from the time loop, Chen Jiawen and Shen Meng must complete a series of bizarre, mandatory "missions." These tasks, assigned by a mysterious “projector” that replays their past vows and sweet words, test the sincerity of their feelings and push them to confront unresolved issues. Each mission provides opportunities for the couple to learn, grow, and truly appreciate their love before the day resets at midnight. Throughout their journey, viewers are treated to sweet and comical moments that balance the drama’s emotional depth.
The story concludes with an open ending that strongly suggests the possibility of a well-deserved second season.
For me, one of the highlights of short dramas is the chance to discover new actors. The lead roles are portrayed by Hankiz Omar (female lead) and Xiao Kai Zhong (male lead), who share excellent on-screen chemistry. Both actors deliver strong performances, but Xiao Kai Zhong stands out for handling the more emotionally intense scenes with impressive skill.
I highly recommend this gem of a drama to anyone looking for a fun and quirky series that doesn’t shy away from exploring deep emotions of a second chance love. It is a well-produced, well-directed, and well-acted drama incorporating time travel, romance, and parallel universe which makes for an enjoyable viewing experience that will undoubtedly leave you smiling.
