to be young and in love ??
i never knew that i'll love high school story like i used to, but this drama bring back those feeling and i looooove it. it remind me to K-drama : playfull kiss (?) but in a very different way. while in playfull kiss the ml is kinda jerk at the beginning, in here the ml is kind and caring and just Playfull. never knew this kind of simple highschool romance were perfectly portrayed in such beautiful way without losing its purpose to tell that in high school we just felt love at the first time, those awkward and fluttering moments, the friendships and the trouble we went through as a teenager the confusion abt the future. so so beautiful, kudos to the actors and the staff i really hard a good time watching this 💛🥰Was this review helpful to you?

best closure (?)
They're perfect for each other, yet their imminance love ending hurt each other so bad.they are so good together, idk why things turned out the way they were. i feel sorry for meta and glad that she's so brave to face reality and make peace for herself.
is it just me or i don't feel a single sympathy for suti like (?) maybe in the end he's redeeming himself but what he done to his family is can't be undo so idk its just not enough
i hope through this movie women out there whose life in shamble bcs their significant other, Will take a look at their self and prioritize their happiness more because before they were wives, mothers, they are themselves

Not Your Usual Time Loop
The drama opens with a highly promising start : action-packed, supported by dynamic camera work and great acting from the casts that captures the audience’s attention from the very first scene. The plot itself offers something fresh, presenting not just one, but five consecutive time loops. This is quite an ambitious challenge, as it requires maintaining audience engagement without slipping into monotony. However, the drama struggles in the middle, becoming somewhat draggy.What I Like :
1. THE Bai Jing Ting
The main reason I tuned into this drama was Bai Jing Ting himself. Known for his excellent script selection and diverse project choices, he proves once again why he stands out. His portrayal here is consistently engaging.
2. The Unique Plot
From the teaser alone, the drama promised something thrilling and action-packed, and it certainly raised my anticipation. The twist on the traditional time-loop concept felt refreshing. Having previously read a Japanese novel with a protagonist looping nine times, I found the idea of five loops particularly intriguing.
3. The Comedy
Every here and there they can always insert a joke and the banter, especially Ding Qi's line is sharp and entertaining. I also appreciated the moments where both protagonist and antagonist exchange jokes in the midst of serious situations—adding an unhinged but amusing dynamic.
What I Don't Like :
1. The Villain’s
I don't know, I expect him to be evil EVIL but Despite having wealth, intellect, and the power of multiple loops, he fails to fully capitalize on these resources. The result is a villain who comes across as unintentionally weak.
2. Script and Execution
While the story concept is superb, the script don’t live up to its full potential.
3. Forced Romance
Scenes between An Lan and Ding Qi often shift the tone into Romance all of sudden, further amplified by mismatched background music that is both overly loud and disconnected from the action sequences. The romance feels unnecessary and theatrical, lacking genuine chemistry between the characters.
Conclusion
Despite its flaws, the drama remains entertaining and enjoyable. The strong premise and Bai Jing Ting’s acting make it worth watching, though better writing could have elevated it into something truly exceptional.
