Short summary first: Mum (played by Ohm) goes to sleep one night in his apartment and wakes up in a parallel world where he “meets” Dew (played by Fluke). For Dew, they’ve meet several times but for Mum it’s the first. Each night Mum goes back to that world for an hour and 5 minutes. And each night time reverses for Dew, until ultimately Dew doesn’t know Mum at all. If you are expecting some kind of reasoning behind this or magical spell, none is forthcoming. Why and how don’t ever get explained, but that’s the basic plot.

So in the parallel worlds Mum and Dew live in the same apartment, just one world has Mum in a green room and the parallel has Dew in a purple room. So Mum from the green world keeps showing up to meet and eventually fall in love with Dew from the purple room. All the while trying to stop the person who killed Dew on their first meeting. (Time reverses.)

The acting is good. The plot had a lot of potential, but that is pretty much where the good things end. The writers seemed to have made up the story with no idea how to end it and no thought on explaining things. You can wing it with some things, but a plot this convoluted is definitely not in the winging it category. Nothing was resolved in the end, even the end had more than one ending (in the same world, or possible another parallel world that also doesn’t get explained). They also don’t follow their own rules — for example, Dew is not supposed to know things that happened earlier because he is supposed to be going back in time, but in several instances, he “remembers” things that for him haven’t happened yet. The ending didn’t discuss what happened to the Dew of the purple world at all, that is just left open. There were so many things that didn’t make sense and the ending was almost worse. I can’t say I hated it, there was really so much potential here, but I didn’t really like it either. If confusing storyline and incomplete endings are okay for you … this might be your cup of tea.

As for the secondary couple, they had nothing to do with the parallel world and it seemed like they should have just had a story of their own instead of adding small bits and pieces to this story which made it feel kind of out of place. They were cute together and had a reasonable little side story that could have been drawn out and given more time. Instead it was kind of thrown in to this whole other story while not giving it the attention it deserved and adding nothing to the overall plot.

Okay so this is where there will be spoilers! Lots of spoilers, so don’t read if you don’t want to know! Dew of the purple world meets Mum of the green world and they have sex. For Dew, he’s been seeing Mum for a while now, but he’s also dating Mum’s sister Mint. He doesn’t love Mint, but the woman is persistent and jealous. He also doesn’t know Mum is Mint’s brother. However, for Mum it was their first meeting. I just think it’s weird that a man who has always been attracted to women wakes up one day and finds himself seeing a handsome young man in his room and they have sex within the first two minutes. Like maybe 10 words were exchanged. Then after the sex, Dew is shot and killed by a masked gunman. The next few times Mum goes to the purple world, they realize that Dew is going back in time while Mum is still moving forward, so every time the two meet, Mum remembers everything but those things haven’t happened yet in Dew’s timeline. The writers screwed that up though, cause after that was discussed, Dew is talking to his gf Mint and she asks him if he’s cheating and he has a flashback to sex with Mum (so yes, he’s a cheater and he’s also remembering things that supposedly haven’t happened for him yet). Mum of the green world eventually figures out that his alter ego from the purple world kills Dew of the purple world. Purple Mum blames Dew when something bad happens to his sister, which is why he kills Dew. Green Mum goes once again to purple Dew but this Dew has never seen him before (time reversing for Dew still) and after about a 1 minute “who the heck are you and why are you in my room?” Mum and Dew have sex again. Why the writers didn’t have Dew flashback to the sex that happened on the day Dew would remember, I will never understand. After this sex, green Mum warns purple Dew about being killed and Dew makes an effort to protect Mint and save himself from being killed by purple Mum by asking someone else to take care of her. (Yes apparently when your gf is in danger, it’s best to foist her off on someone else.) Purple Mint gets angry at this treatment (shocking, I know) and they have an argument and Mint is about to be hit by a car — which is probably would have been what causes purple Mum to decide to kill Dew — instead, Dew saves her and gets hit himself. The end. Really. Purple parallel world stops at this point for green Mum. He can’t go back. Neither can we. For those of us watching the show, there is no conclusion. That is just left hanging. We have no idea, but I think purple Dew must have died. So green Mum saved his lover from being killed by his parallel self, but didn’t save his lover from death.

Then the Dew of the green world who had never met Mum at all before, somehow falls in love with Mum from reading his diary (after dating Mum’s sister Mint, in the green world, for who knows how long — but long enough to start dating and get engaged — it kind of skips over that part). So the timeline seems to be that Mum meets the Dew of his own world and has already fallen in love but Dew has never met Mum. Then he arranges Dew’s birthday party at his sister’s request (it was probably a few days later) and then at the party Mint asks Dew to be her boyfriend (again) and he finally agrees. They date for some length of time which we don’t see while Mum nurses his broken heart and Dew and Mint get engaged. Mint and Dew break up and in one ending, Mum is able to live happily ever after with his Dew. In the other ending, things are left open and even more confusing in a sad way. Honestly, after all this time reversal and magical jumping between parallel worlds, I expected something a little more — well just more. There was no explanation of why it happened or how it happened. Green Mum never seemed to figure out or care what happened to purple Dew. Green Dew fell in love with Mum from reading his diary all while dating Mum’s sister. The sister is in love with Dew and asks him to get together multiple times over the years but miraculously after they break up she has no problem with Mum dating her ex boyfriend. It’s like her whole personality changed. I don’t get how the writers planned this to end, because everything was just confusing and frustrating. It was a very unsatisfying ending. I would have watched a full twelve episodes more if they promised to explain any of it or make it the least bit relatable. Anyway, not my favorite show and so far my least favorite OhmFluke (and that is saying a lot considering their Close Friends series). Unfortunately, wouldn’t recommend.
