So an acquaintance kept asking me to watch this since I watched '18 Again' and I decided to give it a try. I have to say I really liked the story, it is quite different with other 'time travel' dramas and do not overly focus on the romance part despite the main female lead is a miserable woman who can't move on from her dead boyfriend. Viewers can become detectives together with Huang Yuxuan to solve the mystery and experience her growth along the journey. I appreciate the 1998 story also featured some aspect on teenagers issue, including some which are considered taboo. However, I docked some points from the story aspect since the pace is unbearably slow, especially nearing the end despite the ending is very nice and realistic (oh and also why Li Ziwei's hair is so 2019 when he was in 1998 lol).
The casts are marvelous in my opinion, Ke Jiayan and Xu Guanghan obviously took most credit since both of them successfully delivered various characters. Patrick Shih also had a good chemistry with both, and I felt the balance in term of acting between this three main characters. In term of music, I loved the opening and closing songs but not the magic Wu Bai's song.
In conclusion if you love time travel/fantasy drama but also wanted a good storyline, this is for you. No excessive romance, no random subplots, and quite straightforward. Enjoy the story, think together with the characters, and then became touched with the story.
