Great Casting!

When I started the drama, I thought it was going to be a light rom-com, this is not. It’s a melodrama with some light tones here and there. With that said, this was an unexpected drama for me. I love the overall message of the drama and the plot was different for me. I’ve seen a few dramas where you re-live the day over and over, but this one seem to have a hidden message.

The casting was REALLY good. I’m so surprised the cast was a little older. The FL, Jia Ning
is 33 and the ML is Chu Xiao is 27 which is so refreshing! C dramas are notorious for casting super young, and super pretty actors. I believe by casting older actors, it really made a difference in chemistry between the two leads and they look young regardless.

The soundtrack is really good with catching tunes. That was a surprise for me. I really enjoy the emotional ballad and it heighten my watching experience.

The drama is about the FL trying to save the ML from being killed. She doesn’t know why or when, but she knows when she fails, she resets and the whole process begins again.

There are two factors that go into the drama, the time travel and the resetting of time. I enjoyed the first half of the drama, because that is the light hearted moments. It’s when the FL is very protective of the ML and she kind of follows him around. I laughed and thought it was SUPER cute. I also loved the way Chu Xiao played his role, he was very adorable and easy to watch.

The mysterious element for me was something I was half hearted into. I was curious to when and why he would die, but every time the story would reset, I would think, oh no, what does the FL have to do now to save him? It got a little trying at times. Some people will love this because it builds up the story and it’s a little melodramatic.

Not everything is what it seems and so that was interesting too. You never know what the FL will learn every time she resets and during the whole process, she forms this bond with the ML, which is the perfect romantic element I loved watching.

Overall, it’s very moving drama, not as light-hearted as I wanted, but it does make you somewhat emotional in a good way.
