I’M CRYING THIS WAS SO GOOD!?!?!
Ahem. Wow, I did not see that coming. This was a short, beautiful, tragic love story. I generally don’t see myself as a fan of tragedies, but there’s something about knowing that a story will end tragically that makes it compelling to see how it gets there. And of course, you’re rooting for the possibility that perhaps fate will change. After all, this is a time travel(ish) show, so surely the timeline can be changed!
I really don’t want to spoil too much of the plot, but it is super solid. I don’t think that this is a huge spoiler… but you essentially have someone continually moving backwards through time. That is, the first time he time travels is closest to present day, and the next time is farther away, and so on. I think this is an interesting and compelling set up, especially because you know this story ends tragically. The romance started off as mostly a plot device for me in the beginning, but by halfway through I was rooting for our main couple so hard. I don’t think the actors have incredible chemistry, but narratively they fit together so well and they clearly care about each other deeply. There is also a secondary couple who are very sweet. The relationships and characters are all interesting and compelling. I really don’t want to spoil anything but I thought it was everything from the plot, character development, and relationships, were executed very well. The only reason this show isn’t a 10/10 is because there are a few small plot contrivances. They are not a big deal whatsoever but do prevent me from saying this show is 100% flawless.
I found this show continually heart wrenching, and yet I still loved it for breaking my heart. Please do yourself a favor and watch it.
