Jaw on the FLOOR, brother.

Acting:

Good LORD. That is how it is DONE. The casting in this was INSANE. Mr. Pond and Mr. Peterpan, it has been an honor to bear witness to your skills. Why have I seen NOBODY talk about their performances?? The range of emotions they had to depict in this was huge and they nailed every damn one of them. Supporting cast was also amazing with the exception of a couple scenes from Bom that could have been done a little differently in my opinion. I fell in love with so many characters in this. Wenai, my love. Janine, my diva. Narin, my little piano boy. So much love for their performance. BRAVO.

Writing:

I loved that it kept a strong main romance plot intertwined so well with the time travel plot. A lot of stories feel like one aspect is heavily sacrificed for the other but there was a really good balance here. Was there some cringe? Sure, sure. But it was pretty accurate to when we first started using hashtags tbh. We would say some pretty cringe shit back in like 2010 too lol. Was Tada a little theatrical? Sure, sure. But you can’t fault a man whose love language is fireworks. While I was team Janine in that I wanted to see that damn wedding… I do still love the ending too. Scenes flowed well from one to the next, nothing stood out as inconsistent or insanely dumb. Just a damn good story overall.

Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:

Alright, I made sure to put my glazing cap on because MY GOD THE CHEMISTRY. They worked sooo well together it was actually insane. Without a doubt the best chemistry I have seen between two people on camera. Their ability to fully portray love and affection with each other and make it look entirely believable was so impressive. I was fully immersed in their love story. This obviously works well as a romance, truly top tier stuff. Their kissing was perfect. I have absolutely no notes. I believed they desired each other and couldn’t stop themselves from wanting to show it. Well. Done.

NC Scenes:

I love a good artsy, sensual approach to an intimate scene. I like how it highlights the desire, passion, and love between a couple on screen that you sometimes lose in a more explicit, overly orchestrated NC scene. Not that I’m against or don’t love to see more explicit depictions of sex in dramas. I just think that sometimes a little less can be more in what you want to get across in a show in the time you have.

Music/SFX:

Music was fitting for the scenes and mood of what was going on. They made great use of changing the vibe of a scene quickly with a change in music. Masterfully done. That one song though… I think I could have done without hearing it so often. SFX were spot on throughout.

Production/Cinematography:

Gotta give props where it is due and it is in fact due as hell here, my friend. Nothing jumped out and ripped me away from the 1999 illusion, really impressive attention to detail for having made this in 2025. Cinematography had me on my knees fr. The lighting in some of those scenes was so perfect and I love to see some good lighting.

This was a treat. This was a delight. This was everything I want and more in a drama. I can’t believe I haven’t seen the hype for this everywhere like I have for Top Form, The Next Prince, My Stubborn, and Revenged Love. WILD. Those shows don’t stand a chance in hell against this piece of art in my opinion. BRAVO.

And now for some highlights from my many notes:
