Refreshing. So refreshing and engaging that this is the first review I'm writing on MDL for any drama/film. Considering how many time loops/ time travel stories we have out there, it's amazing that I find this particular time loop drama completely unique and fresh. It's all in the details, and the brilliance of the writing that builds up the story with watertight logic, reason and flow. The pacing is just right and every decision made leads to a consequence where we, as the audience, learn along with the characters. Thoroughly unpredictable, it's been a hot minute since any drama last kept me guessing along the way. Apart from the classic things like knowing they couldn't have found the answer that early in the drama, each discovery is something new to learn.

The acting!!! Zhao Jinmai is an incredible actress. At her age, her acting is mature, on point, convincing and so very charismatic. Every move she makes, every gaze, every word she says, it's all executed so naturally that you forget you're watching fiction. You get immersed in the drama and get swept along with everything that's happening to her.

Zhao Jinmai and Bai Jingting's chemistry is incredible. The way they bounce their lines off each other, the way they react to each other, their body language flowing so naturally. They are truly great partners in this show as actors as well as their characters. I came in curious after reading the raving reviews and I must say, it did not disappoint and lived up to expectations very well.
