amazing story at its core.

i went watching this show with low expectation. i don’t personally watch a lot of time travel, or time related plots in dramas. safe to say that this is at the top of the list.

the characters are complex on their own and they each have their flaws and imperfections which make them as real as they are.

the characters themselves are complex and we get to unravel and find out things on our own and with the characters as well as the show goes on. don’t think i’ve ever watched a show where the main leads or the characters have as much information as we have.

what made me happy the most is seeing the ppl in the bus having there own stories and plot per say. made me feel this feeling of sonder. the ppl we see in our daily lives have their own lives as well. they struggle and they accomplish just as we do as well. so you really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover bc in the behind the scenes, we don’t know what’s really going on.

towards the end, we finally find out what is happening on the bus and those specific characters stories and feelings. i like to believe and spoilers: the daughter was the one who put li shiqing (our main character) in the time loop trying to save her parents from making a decision that she thought was wrong. that’s my take since we never get the answer on who put them in that situation and why it kept looping. also begs more question on why her? why didn’t the other passengers be able to do it as well? it’s very thought provoking bc although we get answers, we still can question on many things but it’s not in a way where it’s an obvious plothole, it just is.

i love our main characters. i think they’re both my favorite main characters ive watched thus far. they had tension and they had chemistry but it wasn’t forced, it flowed perfectly as it should’ve been. they are both different as they are but they both help each other and try to figure out ways. i think as the story goes on we see how li shiqing is very empathic and how she tried hard in many ways to save everybody, xiao heyun on the other hand wants to save himself. different ideals but they both aren’t wrong. again, thought provoking. but as characters do they change as the story goes on and i think we see the most in that for xiao heyun.

xiao heyun wants to save her and himself while she wants to save everybody.

he supports her in every shape or form possible, they both fail and try again. again i just love them so much. <333

i love this dynamic and it worked well with their personalities. the side characters had they’re shine and they shined beautifully. we get our happy ending but it’s in a way where all the characters got there happy ending and i feel as though it was the only ending we could have gotten and it should have happened.
—————————————————————————————

i know i wrote a lot and i don’t think ive ever written this much on a review for a drama but i hope this was a good review for you to read! pls if you have any recs that are similar to this show pls let me know bc i would love to watch more!!!

definitely recommend if you love to see character development, serious and funny moments. flawed characters and thought provoking ideas. good pacing and again just good characters.

thank you for making it this far! :D

just so amaizng!

this drama was so good from beginning to end. the story flowed so nicely from plot to plot and even to the end which i was worried about bc i didn’t want the ending to drive me away and it didn’t. it ended so nicely and it made me feel fulfilled(?) in a way.

i loved the characters and especially the obviously flawed ones but they were just so amazing in their own way. i loved the different stories and how they all connected. the different characters and their own personalities but they weren’t over the top nor bland. they were developed and cared for and we can see their character development as well.

it was all just so amazing. def recommend!!!!

so so good

such a well done sports drama. the storyline was almost perfect except for the ending, but that is just mostly me. i think the characters were so well written that i loved all of them in their own right. the romance part of the drama… is doable at best. it wasn’t as bad as i thought if i were to be honest. i think the love interest was annoying, yes, but ive seen so much worse that i think it wasn’t actually that bad. i really want a season 2 but i doubt that it will ever done. definitely, the ending was left unfinished but it didn’t feel like it. even if there will never be a season 2 i think the ending was done pretty good.

such a good sports drama if you’re looking for one, def recommend ;))

a well done sports drama

this drama was like being wrapped in a warm blanket while snow is pouring outside. it was well done in my opinion, i think one factor which i didn’t like in this drama was the sub plot. it was hard to sit through mostly because i didn’t really care. especially towards the end where they started focusing more on these characters and plot. i mostly didn’t like it bc it took me away from the main story and i loved the main story but adding a subplot was just not written well in my opinion. it could have been written well but i think the writer just couldn’t do it. i mostly skippped the parts because like i said, i couldn’t care since it felt like it was taking more limelight in the story. all in all, it was a good drama, with most good characters, it had a pretty good balance with sports and drama, and a pretty good solid story.

def recommend;)))
