I wonder what my parallel self thought of this drama because in this world I'm pretty confused


STORY
The story was okay i guess, there was a lot more potential then what was delivered but it certainly wasnt the worse i have seen.
Other than that i wish they had focused a little more on the backstory of side characters as in my opinion we got like one defining thing about a couple of the characters but that was about it , there wasnt any real depth (in my opinion). honestly this could be just because I'm a sucker for a lot of deep backstory.
In the same breath some of the characters seemed to have a rushed closer to aspects of their plot and storyline which was a disappointment because it was built up to make us seem their was more to come
Despite that i did enjoy the dynamics of a few characters and that's honestly what kept me watching.


ACTING/CAST
The acting was pretty good no complaints here, the fire exit door can remain shut there was no catastrophic acting and it was actually a pretty enjoyable performance from everyone I think the dramatic juxtaposition between both of the characters wdh played is one of my favourites (such an original thought ik I'm not like other fans)

MUSIC
The music I didnt think stood out enough but that also means it wasnt bad tbh I'm not a huge focuser on the music unless it was one of the defining things from the drama.

RE-WATCH VALUE
I might rewatch tkem just to grasp some things better as parallel universes tend to f**k with my brain and confuse me upon first viewing but I dont see myself reaching to rewatch it all for any other reason.

OVERALL AND EXTRA
Overall I think it was written okay with the best part of it being the acting.there is a lot of product placement , for me it wasnt the most annoying I had seen but it wasnt woven into the story as well as I couldve hoped but props on them because moneys money I guess.
I think if you are going to watch this go in with no expectations and just dont think too much and then maybe youll enjoy it more than me.
