One of the best time-travel dramas!
I AM A SUCKER FOR TIME-TRAVEL DRAMAS, but sadly there's only a handful that reaches my expectations because it's hard to tackle without getting too confusing and messy! But this one is GOOD REALLY REALLY GOOD!HONG KONG DRAMAS WHEN THEY HIT, THEY HIT HARD! THIS ONE IS SO GOOD!
- I have always seen Vincent here and there in dramas, but this began my obsession with his dramas, this is such a hard role to nail, he does it all, from comedy or convincing jerk character to the sweetest in seconds! (It proves the range of this actor is big and he portrays all these different sides in one drama!)
SO GRIPPING
- SO I've watched over 600 dramas in the past 12 years, which means I usually can predict most drama plots, but this drama surprised me on multiple occasions
- It's fast-paced, the characters are endearing, and my favourite part? THE CREATIVITY!
-The plot is WOW!
Rewatchable? Yup! I rewatched half of it in one day recently with my parents, totally fun to watch with friends and family. Highly recommend this!

My Most Easy & Smooth Watch
When iam uncertain about what to watch next,i always play safe and go back to my obsessions.This time it was Vincent Wong's turn.The last time i watched a drama with him starring was few months ago and i really missed him.So I chose Over Run Over because of him and the Time Travel Tag.(ofc!What else!)
I found this only on youtube and i must tell you that almost in every episode,there are scenes of few seconds,without subs and sound.Yes,it is a bummer,but it's ok as we don't really miss something important.
I start by saying that HK Dramas have their own uniqueness and if you have watched few like me,you know what to expect.I also have to declare that i rarely compare Dramas to others not only those from different countries but also from the same.
With that being said i rate every drama solely based on what i've watched.
Let's move on to the Drama itself.
Tbh,i had a hard time to rate it.I was between 7,5 and 8,5.When iam divided i try to be as objective as i can be,because i really don't like to write misleading reviews.Obviously at the end each review is subjective,but at least iam always honest about the things i didn't like,those which were bad etc.
The Good:
Vincent Wong himself.He is such a talented actor.The whole drama is on him.He is versatile.
His comic vein shines here once again.
One moment he makes you laugh hysterically.The next second he makes you swoon all over him cause of his hotness.
And few moments later he takes you to more dark and serious paths.He always delivers.He never disappoints.
Acting from rest of the Cast was good.Not the best,but still enjoyable.
The Ending!!!❤ ❤ ❤
Story & Plot:
Many Time Travel Dramas are confusing and hard to follow mostly because of the messy timeline and plot.
This is not one of those.It was my most easy and smooth watch ever!I hit play,the episode ended and i felt only 10 mins had passed by.The story is common and similar to every time travel series out there.MLs going back to past to alter it in order to save their loved ones.But is so well written,light and engaging i watched ep after ep without realizing it.
In Genres they definitely must add the Comedy tag as well,because it is has not a very serious tone as its mixed-well-with funny and light moments.So bear this in mind.
The Average:
Production overall.Direction & Editing.Music.Nothing stands out.As i said if you have watched other HK Dramas you already know the style they follow when making series.
The Bad:
This is an old drama from 2016 but still i can't help but mention some really bad details.
Fight scenes.Gun shots.Gun wounds.Blood.Stabs.Fires & Explosions.Well almost every visual effect!Tragic.Just tragic.Please overlook!
All in all.I liked it.It has a bit of everything.I recommend it.You will enjoy it too if you go in without many expectations.
Extra Bonus: Over Run Over has the most hilarious and sexy at the same time,pole dancing scene you will ever watch.Trust me.
