It's an advertisement more than a drama. A filler drama for the super bored.

This is an advertisement, not a drama. I mean, it’s not just a case of the usual Chinese drama plagued with product placements, it’s a blatant straight up advertising.

Story: This does not make sense in ways I don’t even know where to begin. The guy is from year 2015 vs the present 2020! Why did they make it in such a way that he acts like he’s dumb or alien to the modern world? If you time travelled, wouldn’t your first instinct be to look for the you in the present you’re in? It’s not like he’s from another country, too. He’s still from China! And even if he comes back to 2015, his memory would still be his, and would still remember her and they could look for each other. As it is, they began dating but didn’t even exchange info or plan what to do in case he disappears when from the get-go they knew he’d come back to 2015. like, wtf?

Acting: The guy’s acting is weird, too. He acts like a robot if you ask me. Again, he’s just from 2015, not from Pluto! It’s not like 2015 was the Jurassic Period and lacked technology. It’s not like he’s dead, too, and now he’s a ghost that there’s no way to figure out things. The girl’s acting is okay on the other hand. Like, more natural than the guy’s. The other actor role is irrelevant for me. With or without him, the drama would stand the same.

I’d say, this could pass as a filler drama, an in between drama kind of watch. When you’re done with a drama you’re still hang up with and can’t or don’t wanna start a new one yet but want to pass the time, this could be it for you. It’s light enough to to not play with or engage your emotions. It’s not for me, though. Light it may be, I just can’t get past the thought that it still is a nonsensical script. It may be 2 hours short but I can’t remember the times I stopped and watch something else.
