Avenging your past self from a swindler is entertaining.
What would you do if your past self, whose failed marriage ended up with your own demise (financially and physically), was coming to meet you 7 years in the past as a man? This is the topic of this revenge drama. Would you trust a stranger who says he is you?
This drama is entertaining and sometimes goofy. The Female Lead is on the way to her own death and Male Lead has to save her, because he is her past self in disguise. I laughed a lot and I also was angry a lot watching this drama.
On a serious note, This drama asks the question about regret in life.
What if we could make up for our regretted actions. Would our life be better or worse? Is there a butterfly effect?
I take this drama for a beacon of hope at what life could be if the good choices are made. I loved to follow the steps of Gu Nian ( past-self and future-self ) struggling through all the contradictions of her persona. Would you take a road if you knew it was leading to your demise? Get ready to challenge your own understanding with this drama.
Pros :
- Strong and badass Female Lead and Male Lead.
- Good acting : First time I see Luo Zheng sensitive like that in a gender swapping role. I like it.
- Fast pacing .
- Goofy moments.
- I like the OST.
- Sismance and Bromance.
- This plot could go further to a long drama. I could see FL drifting into parallel spaces :)
Cons:
- The actress seems anorexic to me, FL is supposed to be a skinny tomboy. This is really it. I am afraid for her when I see her.
- Female Lead is annoying sometimes. She is so stubborn, it is almost unbearable.
- Time travel logic inaccurency throughout the second half of the show. If what we see is FL's real life experience. If all of this pure virtual reality, then it is totally logical and that would be a good point.
- The ending is great but some elements feel logically off. I still like the drama. So don't relate too much to the logic to appreciate this drama. So weird.Someone is born out of thin air.
Overall:
I like everything in this drama. The flaws are minors. The plot is well executed. I am annoyed because Female Lead is so stubborn. But I enjoy the show and I recommend it if you like revenge dramas with badass Female Lead.

The ending explained, in case it feels weird to you like it felt to me. I pledged not to spoil dramas, but this ending puzzled me too much. So I wanted to decypher it for those who, like me, were lost at the end of the drama.
Indeed, the last 4 episodes were supposed to be her going back to reality and trying to look after DouDou. So as usual, her subborness got in the way. Which logically leads to trouble followed by a happy ending with ML.
But, thinking about it more, given that at the end DouDou wasn't dead anymore.
I think that, the whole thing was her watching a vitual reality plot while she was dying on her hospital bed after she tried to commit suicide on episode 1.
Based on that, I would withdraw what a previously said, that the time travel logic was off . And I would say that the plot is very well crafted. It allowed ML to be with her but only through the game's interface.
Because she reunites with DouDou because she cannot stand to live without her. Even if in the (virtual) life she relived. DouDou was never conceived.
