The story have a lot of inconsistencies but it is overall good
The story is simple, there is a good message that I can learn from and the format is similar like other web drama but there is a lot of gap that was not addressed in the drama. The female lead's backstory could turn into a horror or thriller. I expected it was about someone who still looks 20 yet everyone she knew still knew her and kept in touch but it's only the society who treats her differently but that was not the case. It made so much sense as I relate to the story with the title.The gap is about the scene where her parents also forget her on new years. There are many possibilities that this would not make the female lead the way she is. She would suffer greatly of having no house at the first restart on being 20 again. Another gap is when she still had the mindset of an average middle aged woman even after living as a 20 year old that forces her to keep on finding work and keep up with society. The curse that was put on her would lead her to focus more on fixing her life and finances rather than finding love.
I rated this quite high because I tried eliminating the possible storylines of the female lead. I also think that if she found a way to have a permanent source of income like a business that doesn't restart at New years, she could enroll in a college with different degrees.
Anyways, moving on to the male lead. The male lead isn't bad to anyone like the ones portrayed in other dramas. His personality is surprisingly soft and the storytelling on how he quite have a bit of a bad attitude is well written. There is a clear process on how the drama shows his trust for the female lead + character development. The drama perfectly suits as a romcom when it is the point of view of the male lead since he was the one experiencing this for the first time, the realizations and development in his life.
In case of the female lead, there should be no male lead if this were to be in her point of view, the genre would be a horror lol
Great acting on part of Yuju and Subin!!

Alternate Point of View Story
[Quite late to write this review] I finished watching the drama in a rush after Mr. Ou is highly suspecting Muqing to be the mole in Group K. Not saying that the plot got bad after that episode but I was always on edge of the seat when watching it lol.So, I think of a realistic alternative plot for this drama, and of course, it was kinda boring but it was reassuring since the ending is very confusing.
(Don't take this seriously, this is just an opinion since the ending is not satisfying)
If the deaths are realistic and Li Ruosheng is the main lead / the point of view of this story with character development, it would turn out in a very satisfying ending or probably ok ending (without taking anyone's side). Li Ruosheng has a very sad background, both his parents died and no one was truly close to him until he met Muqing. He said from the beginning that he had no choice but to work in this field related to drugs. Rong Yu definitely did not survive the explosion but it is very wrong for Rong Yao to vent all his anger on Liu Yuanwen at this time when he went undercover. After multiple incidents, realistically, Muqing will be killed by Mr. Ou in that specific warehouse, and Li Ruosheng will be taking a break from all business activities from this point / might be taking a step back from his current position that Muqing built. After 2-3 months, Group K realizes that problems within their organization completely disappeared. Cong Tou will not work with Li Ruosheng because their positions in the group are different. It all went back from the beginning for Li Ruosheng, all alone even with many hitmen that would obey his order but no one was really on his side, so he escaped quietly from Group K and would probably be working somewhere else or accepting his fate (confessing to the police). In my opinion, he won't bother to recheck Muqing's real identity as it would be too much for him although deep inside he probably knew but wouldn't accept it as there is no physical evidence... since Muqing died when they were really close. As stated in the ending "I'm not afraid of dying or getting arrested but all these lies for 3 years"
