Decent time-slip for a short drama
If one can reconcile with the limitations of a short drama, this series can actually be a quite good binge.
There are a lot of instances in this drama where one has to suspend disbelief, especially this is a speculative work of fiction where time travel is involved.
Production-wise, although unverified, I assume that this is made with little budget as well.
All that considered, I am especially in awe by how they were able to pack the story neatly within five episodes. No fillers, no fuss, just the story, romance, stakes, and resolution—all cleanly wrapped up in the last episode.
The acting is decent (special mention: Ding Yuxi school of ((eye)) acting), the pacing worked, and the OST is good!
More than anything, the emotional impact is also there.
Only downside is that the English subtitles on IQIYI are horrible.
