If you are contemplating to watch this drama, go for it.
This drama revolves around parallel universe and mathematics. I am a sucker for time travel, parallel universe, time loop kind of drama so of course I am gonna give it a try.
The early part of the drama shows about the leads training for mathematics olympiad, which is one of the reason I was hooked, as this is such a novel experience to watch in a drama. As someone who used to join such olympiad in my school days, this is really intriguing.
What I like about this drama:
1) LZX's character
Be it in strawberry world, or cheese world, I really like both of them. Watching this makes me wanna root for her success, and I am glad she got it in the end.
2) Lao Lin
In both worlds, he is indeed a good father who truly cares about his daughter (s). Gotta love the father-daughter relationship in this drama.
3) Perfectly wrapped up
Censorship aside (which I recently learned about), this story wrapped up quite well and everything falls at their respective place.
What I don't like:
1) Some inconsistencies here and there
As I said, I really like our FL (strawberry LZX) but I found some parts in which she doesn't seem like the LZX I know. It feels kinda out of character, just like how I found cheese PZ. In the story, his father said that Cheese PZ is a happy and bright person, however at the end, it doesn't seem like it.
2) Last two episodes
The last two episodes are mainly explaining the whole concept, what happened in this world etc etc but rather than explaining, I found it more confusing than ever. It intends to cover up the loopholes, but I found myself thinking more and finding even bigger loophole.
3) Why? When? Who?
We don't know what, when, who, how this whole loop is started. Yeah true that loops are continuous so it doesn't have a start or end but, like I said, the more you think about how it explained in the end, the more you found it illogical. That ruined my experience with this drama. Thus, if you watch this, don't think and just enjoy your ride.
This is a decent time loop / parallel world drama, but is far from perfection. It is flawed yet still beautiful, you can still enjoy it until the end although I think it gets kinda draggy in the middle. 20s should be enough for this drama, rather than 34 episodes. Will I rewatch this? Definitely no. It is not good enough for me to rewatch. Should you watch this drama? Sure, give it a try.
