This review may contain spoilers
Acting: 100/10
It’s better to have 10 mains than 10 time wasting side characters

Plot: 7/10
Sad story done before

Process: 4/10
The revelations were annoying, each ep felt episodic but each one added more to the pile
then ep5 and things are connected but then ep6 again goes in another direction and boom last ep everything is resolved

Time management: 3/10
Some things didn’t need that long of an introduction and some things were resolved so vaguely
The mom/daughter one was the most touching


I always say mdl needs a “progress, plot movement” for the rating divisions instead of just “story”
The story was touching, nothing new, but the time management was bad



Overall amazing cast, beautiful acting, touching and sad stories, but the editing and flow was a mess
They could’ve reached their point in a more linear way rather than continuously jump from one pov to another

’m the type of person that hates “tutorials”, I skip the long explanations and I like to learn as the plot goes by
You can branch out but this was a spiral, jumping back and forth

I feel like each story was ok in their own but together the mom/daughter one was the most touching, that story overshadowed them all

they did go overboard with the mom being the lightshop guys daughter and tbh eventho I was tearing up, I had to laugh

The bus lovers:
Tbh the story felt like another movie, the bus stop, going to his house, and I don’t remember much but it was called spellbound
It was kinda annoyingly silly to have her kill herself so quickly when she was going to leave him and for her to believe the text of literally the mom who told her to leave
Also, why did the mom say that? That was dramatic for nothing and eyeroll worthy

Mom/daughter:
Heartbreaking

Red shoes:
Meh, especially since bus lover killed herself for love, then goes and tells him to go back and gets sad about it and he remembers nothing
then they add another lovers and let her “stay behind”, like they should’ve just added that to the bus lovers, she killed herself for him, he decides not to go back to be with her…

Basketball boy:
Sweet that he saved the boy, but again something was off about the flow and the presence of the characters

Like they were connected by the bus, but then they still add the dog guy and the detective that weren’t connected to that one story
So overall the editing lacked
