I gave this show a 7/10. Its rewatch value for me personally, doesn’t exist, I would probably never rewatch this show again, because of all the trauma and all the characters just always struggling. It really did feel like fate was against them being together. The plot was executed well in the beginning, but could have been better at the end. The actors/ actresses did a good job portraying their characters; even though the length of the show was good, it could have used the time more appropriately. All in all, I recommend this show to anyone who likes shows that involve fighting against all odds to be together and live happily ever after.

Synopsis (according to me): This story follows the connection of Ye Hai Tang and Tang Yi Xun and how they are basically star-crossed lovers. They are meant to be but fate is pulling them apart. They discover a mailbox that transports letters to the future. Together with their children from the future, they work together to find out what has caused their ill-fated relationship and how they can change their future.

I really enjoyed the first ¾ of the show and its plot. I liked how they were building the plot in the beginning and how it was going. However, the last 4 penultimate episodes felt like it was dragging, and then the last episode too much happened at once and it felt like a very rushed ending after all the dragging. The concept of letters being transported through time through a mailbox is not a foreign concept, but I really like how well done it was. I do feel there are some plot holes that weren’t fully fleshed out causing it to be slightly confusing, however, with the story line still going, it’s easy to forget about them. The characters were all flawed, not a single one of them was a pure green flag. However, Tang Yi Xun’s character was in my opinion the best. Yes he has made some bad decisions, however, as soon as he realized what he wanted, he took all the responsibility to make sure that he protects the people he wants. Even though the villains in this story are pretty obvious, the character I (personally) didn’t like was Ye Hai Tang, she really made my blood boil.

Even though Romance is listed as a genre to this show, it barely exists. It’s more like a factor to why everything happens. This show is a lot more about survival than romance. The romance just fuels how the story plays out, but we don’t really see any super sweet moments between the two. There are a few, but they are very high school cute moments, and that is all.
