I LOVED everthing about this drama especially the leads.
This drama was on my watch list as 'high priority' ever since I watched Love is better than immortality. I really wanted to watch Li Hong Yi in this drama, one, because it's him, and two because of his hair. But I put off watching this, afraid that it wouldn't meet my expectations. But it went beyond my expectations.
I LOVED this drama. I loved Li Hong Yi and Shi Shi's characters so much. They also had amazing chemistry. Unlike many of Li Hong Yi's dramas that (for me) goes downhill, this is the only one that was consistent and had a really good script.
I loved Lin Miao. This is one of the first Cdramas I've watched where the FL is not immature in any way, but also not annoyingly mature. We also got to meet Lin Wei Jun, the immature, younger version of the FL who we get to see slowly mature. Shi shi did an amazing job portraying both characters, you could really see the difference in their personalities.
Jiao Yang is such a sweet and innocent person. The first boss ML in a Cdrama that isn't cold in any way. Despite the fact that he is a bit immature at first, we got to see so many of his good aspects. What a great leader he was and how caring he was to his people. He had no flaws, if anything, it was his innocence, how trusting he was of people that he's been warned not to trust. But that was understandable, because how can one think to not trust their own brother.
I loved Jiao Yang and Lin Miao's relationship and how it developed. Though it seemed slow, it grew to be an epic love within the span of 3 months. Jiao Yang was so sweet to Lin Miao even when he didn't seem to particularly like her. Neither seemed to have much experience in romance despite Jiao Yang's past 8 girlfriends (which I'm pretty certain he lied about) and Lin Miao forgot how to have a relationship after her really toxic past experience with love. I also loved Wei Jun and Jia Yang's relationship which was (ironically) in no way romantic. They were like siblings and they were hilarious together. I genuinely couldn't imagine Jia Yang and Wei Jun being in any sort of romantic relationship despite the fact that Lin Miao is future Wei Jun.
This drama had quite a lot of business talk. Usually I skip business talk in dramas, but I watched it all in this drama because it was really relevant to every aspect of the plot if this drama. The business talk was also interesting and not boring as it usually is in other dramas.
The last few episodes of this drama made me feel like crying. Especially when it came close to the 3 month date. You could see the love and concern Jiao Yang had for Lin Miao as she got sick and he took care of her. But, you also got to see Jiao Yang becoming independent, or forcing himself to be able to go on without Lin Miao knowing that she has to leave. I loved how he arranged so that he will be able to continue without her so that he can wait for her hopeful return in 10 years. It was so sad and heart wrenching to see that if I didn't already know that (spoiler) this drama had a happy ending, I'd have cried the last 2 episodes straight.
Only two things could have made this drama better (SPOILERS):
1) It would have been better if some of the important conversations and interactions were on screen. I hated how they had the scene of Jiao Yang realising for himself that Lin Miao is from the future, off screen. They had a lot of conversations that were relevant and would have been really interesting, off screen.
2) I wish they had some sort of explanation for the time travel. Not how it works, but how it changed Lin Miao's present (2020) life. And what happened to Lin Wei Jun in 2020. The ending, though happy didn't explain how Lin Miao was still herself in 2020 when she met Jiao Yang again. I mean, it can be interpreted that she somehow merged with Lin Wei Jun through a time loop, or something.
I really wish they had a more extended ending where they focused on the main leads in the present (2020). Then again, Jiao Yang didn't seem to change much, so their relationship would likely remain the same. But, still, there was a 10 year jump. I NEED MORE.
