if you are here, you are probably wondering whether to watch or not - i'm here to tell you YES OR YOU'LL REGRET!!
Literally the best chinese drama ive ever watched and its no surprise when it is named as one of the best taiwanese drama for past few years. This drama is an artwork and heres why:
Story:
I've never seen a drama so well-balanced before - pacing, character development, and plot. For a 13 episodes drama which talks about time-travelling and mystery solving, I was expecting it to be rushed but I was wrong, every episode has its very own meaning, either to give us a background of the leads or bringing us to 1999/2019. Every episode seems well-paced, skip one part and you'll miss something essential. Furthermore, I absolutely love the character and relationship development in this drama. In Episode 1, you can fully understand how much the female lead is in love and later on in the drama, the writers also dedicate 1.5 episodes to show how much sacrifices the male lead made and how much he loves her, so it actually emotionally connects the audience with the relationship of the leads and its stunning how well this is done because its not boring at all. On top of the couple relationship, they also focus really well on conveying the strong friendship between the two male leads from the start to the end. (we can't help but envy their friendship)
The writers are also skillful in terms of tying the series of events in 1999 and 2019, so when the female lead travels through time and back, it all seems natural and not abrupt and is filmed very well. I like how unlike normal time-traveling drama where the lead gets stuck in the past, this drama brings the lead back and froth from past and present so it gets more intense, building up to the already exciting mystery plot.
Cast:
Acting is great no doubt, especially the female actor portraying both the female lead character. Both characters are polar opposite, yet she portrays the characters' personality really well . AND the male leads are super cute HAHHAH
Music:
THE MAIN THEME SONG IS MY FAVOURITE CHINESE SONG FKJQWRWLASL its so beautiful NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE THE SONG 想见你想见你想见你 i liked the song before watching the drama and after watching the drama, i love it more because the song will SPEAK to you becuase of the meaning behind the lyrics. The other OSTs such as Shi Shi's Someday or One day and Wu Bai's Last Dance are also very soothing to the ear and listening to these 3 songs at once makes me feel like im at heaven or something and makes me miss the drama more :(
