On the surface, this was a very basic story but there are multiple layers to it that make it a stunning piece. There are so many little nuances that are woven throughout that all tie it together in a neat, red-thread-of-fate bow.

A lot of people have said they'd preferred this to be a longer series rather than movie-length, but I think it was effective just as it is. I wouldn't have wanted more drawn out drama which would likely have come from the boss on Jin Hong's side and the senior on Song Shi's side. They gave enough to those characters to establish motive, action and resolution that they didn't need to do the typical "rinse and repeat" for more episodes. Sure, we don't really know what happens to either the senior or the boss but personally, I didn't think it mattered. What we do know is that the senior didn't get the lead that he coveted and the boss was left without her hold over her employee. That's good enough for me and, honestly, it's still more than other series have given.

I liked how the podcast kind of acted like the red thread that brought them together in the beginning and the end. We see Song Shi trying to get his comments read throughout the series and when it finally happens, it's when it's needed the most. It was his last ditch effort to reach Jin Hong because he couldn't contact him otherwise. I know this might be overthinking things a bit but.. to me, it brought to mind the question of "how much do we want to leave to fate?" Sometimes, you need to take action instead of hoping that Fate takes an interest in you again. "She's got a lot to do, sometimes you must give her hand."

Besides the storytelling aspect, everything else was pretty good. Nothing really stood out for me as far as the acting went though I think everyone did a great job in their respective roles. Song Shi's dancing was beautifully done though I wish they didn't cut to different camera angles all the time so we could see the routine at least once from start to finish in one viewpoint.

All in all, this was a lovely story and I can see coming back to watch it when I need a short pick-me-up kind of watch. Highly recommend.
