NO FLAWS

Where do I even begin?? I was merely looking for a modern drama to quench my thirst for a modern cdrama and I found what is possibly the best drama, THE BEST, that I have ever watched. I love dramas with fantasy elements but I often still have to willingly suspend my disbelief to really get into a story. However, with this drama there were 0, I repeat, 0 plot holes or ridiculous leaps in logic. Everything made sense, every bit was gripping. There might be some complaints here and there that the time loop starting is never explained, but I think it being explained would have no effect on the story at all so it didn't bother me one bit. This drama has executed the plot point of a time loop so well I don't think there will be any dramas in the foreseeable future willing to take on this premise anymore. They just won't be able to outdo this drama on it. Every aspect of this drama was amazing, the finished product is phenomenal.
Unlike most cdramas, this is only 15 episodes, so quit your quandaries about watching this drama and go! You'll regret not having experienced this gem of a drama and wish you could go back to change your choice.

Character development and its actors saved this drama

This is the first drama where I didn't want to skip the intro and ending which I think should say a lot about the music track.
Starts off with a bang. First ep and we're up and going. However, I did have some qualms at first, really had to suspend my disbelief and immerse myself into the story while Changge was running around town hiding from the authorities wearing a bright white costume.
This drama is definitely more heavy on character development and experiences than it is on romances which I like, and why I gave it a higher rating. There is romance and it is done well enough to be believable within each character's stories, but if you want romance heavy this isn't it.
Towards the middle to end eps things slow down. The story has a few parts where it picks up the plot pace but I feel by the ending quarter was still dragging.
I don't really understand the ending sequence as it muddled up what I thought was already clear but I also read elsewhere that producers wanted to wrap quickly and didn't give time to properly flesh out a better ending episode. Shame. They basically agreed to marry each other as partners in life just without the ceremony so why in the end are they separated? If anyone can explain the ending kindly.
Despite the drama going *slightly* downhill towards the end, the first half impact and continual character development throughout kept me watching. I enjoyed the drama overall and binged watched it even when it got slow. Got to know of a great cast and will follow many of these actors in their future works as they made the drama work when production and writing faulted.

Starts well, ends in a wreck (writing wreck)

I'm giving a 7 star because the bastard made everyone think he died for 5 years straight. What was the reason?! I'll never understand it and I'm a bit disappointed scriptwriters resorted to a miscommunication trope where the ML doesn't explain anything and breaks up with FL because of an illness. Up until the tropefest from ep 12 and on, the drama was enjoyable.
The earlier scenes and interactions between FL and ML and very sweet and I loved watching them support and trust each other. Initially, I thought I was going to finish watching feeling refreshed from a nice watch without frustrations and with a nice memory of this drama. Unfortunately, I finished feeling wistful for the first part of the drama when the drama wasn't a tropefest and trying to be like every other drama.

A solid watch

For a web drama, it was so well written considering most web dramas are low production and low budgeting. I've seen inssaoppa's (channel company) other content and they've really got a team of good writers and producers. Some of the acting does need improvement, but with a cast of rookie actors, it was a wonderful job. Props go to the writers, they really kept it so engaging and I was never sure who the stalker was. Characters were a bit flat, but it's expected in such a short content time and I was still able to get their motivations and feelings. In the end, it all made sense and there weren't any ridiculous plot holes.
