Strong beginning but slowly lost its touch
The story started well with both Cher and Gun having depth to their character with a sad and messed up past. Along the way, things got out of hand when they didn't give enough focus to side characters.
Thyme/Time and Thoop were 2 neglected pieces in this story. Till the end, they never showed what went wrong between Gun and Thyme, which means it was a lost friendship that could have actually made the story more interesting. As for Thoop, we don't know what happened with the drug charges, and neither do we know what happened to his stepfather.
The biggest plot hole was when they showed Thoop reconciling with his mother who knew all along that Tian was getting raped by her stepfather. That's a very insensitive way of showing forgiveness. As far as I know, legally, the mother should also go to jail as an accomplice since she never intervened even though she knew that a minor was getting assaulted.
We also don't know why Thi was so hell-bent to win the gaming competition. I mean I understand that he wanted to win but his reaction when they all won't have time to practice made us think there is some backstory or maybe a dream. Instead of focusing on that, the series only showed the cheezy romantic part of Thi and Zo's relationship.
So, overall a good one-time watch if you want to enjoy a light-hearted romance and have a laugh.
