Rather boring with some sweet moments
I was intrigued by the storyline and wondered, while watching, how they will manage to give everyone a happy ending. Well, everyone got a happy ending, but there was no logic behind that whatsoever. It felt like they didn't know themselves how to manage that and then just threw the ending in, in the last 5 minutes, completely out of the blue with no explanation at all. That was cheap and disappointing.
The story and the characters had their sweet moments. But overall, it was - I read it in a different review and agree - dull. I watched the series on Netflix, where it has 34 episodes, and the first 20 episodes were boring. Nothing exciting happens at all. They could have explored the time travelling aspect more, with the main character trying to figure out what happened together with his grandfather. But they missed that chance completely.
The acting of the main cast was below standard. Only Mini Tsai, the main character’s mother, did a really good job and was very convincing. The two leads’ acting was either over the top or too stiff and felt very artificial. I’ve seen Ivy Shao in The Perfect Match first and I loved that show, and liked Ivy Shao very much. But in this show I could see her trying to act. I didn’t feel the chemistry between the two of them at all.
The show was good enough to keep me going till the end. Though it took me longer than normal and every now and then I had to force myself to keep going.
