The plot and script are top-notch, with the title cleverly referring to one lead going back in time to save the other. The cast delivers such layered performances that you’ll want to rewatch certain episodes. But I can't give it a perfect 10 out of 10, and I'll explain why.
First of all, Vivi and Wa’s relationship gave me "Frozen" vibes—not entirely, but the sisterly love was definitely there. And it was absolutely adorable. The songs perfectly capture the romantic, emotional, and suspenseful moments, leaving you both happy and sad. For a supernatural romance, the VFX is impressively subtle, and credit goes to the production team, the director, and of course, the author Zezeho, who masterfully wove the fantasy and romance together. As a DC fan, the time-turning scenes reminded me of The Flash, but the unique blend of elements here is remarkable.
Most GL shows focus solely on the romantic connection between the leads, but this one made sure that the precious bond of familial love wasn’t overlooked. Unlike many other GL dramas, this one doesn't end with sudden steamy scenes or a wedding ceremony. Sure, we often expect that between the leads, and we do love it. But just imagine if this kind of ending were shown in a straight romance—people would call it a masterpiece. If you think the show should have ended with lovey-dovey kissing scenes simply because it’s a GL, you’re being biased. Wa and Four shared an emotional hug, which was just as powerful. The show also concluded with Four and Kie resolving their issues, thanks to Wa’s involvement (even though she was unaware of her role in it), hinting that Khun is a good friend of Wa’s—definitely not a potential boyfriend. It was a smart way to wrap up the series, giving supporting characters their due recognition alongside the leads. In my view, that makes the ending of this masterpiece even more meaningful. By the way, the girl who played Kie, Hlinghling did a great job.
So, why can't I give it a 10 out of 10? Well, there were a few plot holes that bothered me. For instance, the scene where Four was about to get shot, and Wa rushed to save her. The police intervened just in time, but that moment felt rushed—it could have been extended for better clarity. Also, I really missed Top (Shogun); he was so charming whenever he was on screen. Lastly, the show ended with Wa witnessing how Four and Kie resolved their rivalry, but it would have been more impactful if Four had turned around and realized Wa had been there for her all along. That small moment could have added an emotional punch to the ending.
When most of the GL shows are dragging plot to 12 episodes without any development, look how R4U did a great job just within 8 episodes. I recommend this drama to everyone, it's worth a shot.
