A rather strange and later on, draggy show.

This drama really doesn’t do much for me.

After watching the entire drama, this is my review. The first 1/3 to 2/3 of the show was rather all right but not great. The female lead was just running around and “all about nothing” in the end. The male lead was so painfully shy. He really had to “man up”. Perhaps, this drama wants to tell us that the past cannot be changed no matter what happens and what we do because the past is The Past. I’m not sure if this is what the drama wishes to convey because things seem quite vague and messy (to me). The last 1/3 of the drama was painful to watch. The female lead was just a messed-up weeper. It felt depressing to see her tear-stained face and her agony over “nothing at all” in my opinion since she couldn’t change anything. She was the one messing things up in 2020 and in 2010. It was only much later that she “woke up” and it dawned on her that she had to lead a good life for herself.

Perhaps this drama wishes to tell viewers: No regrets. Seize each moment and live it vibrantly and with awareness! But, I’d suggest— skip this mess. There are much better dramas out there that are more interesting, more exciting, more enjoyable and more coherent.
