GREAT DRAMA

You might already know the scope of this series as it says in the synopsis and other reviews, it is about a girl(Lin Beixing) who time travel on her high school years to change her future but this gave her chance to get to know his savior(Zhang Wansen) and there he wants to change the past. Although she failed, she learned so many lessons and made memories with Zhang Wansen which she missed in her real world.

High school love, smart ML, naive FL, and the airport scene are just some of the common and old things in a drama that you can also see here but this doesn't mean this is not worth to watch. They made this series "ordinary but unique", they used old scenes but they put it in a totally different story. This will make the audience wonder think what will happen next, "it might be this" , "it might be that" but then it will give you a satisfying answer on your thoughts. The time travel here is really different from other time travel dramas, in here, while time travelling, it will show you different relationship lessons from family, father-daughter, friendship, classmate, siblings, romantic, etc.

The ending is not really happy but an open ending where it left us many questions about many things , I can totally understand it, as it will become a cliche drama that just gives romantic satisfaction it they made it so happy, rather they chose to give us a story full of lessons and wonders as many of this things can be encountered in real life. The ending is truly sad but a good ending for the drama even there are questions, the only thing I want to know here is why Zhan Yu cheated?

In terms of their love, the love of Wansen to Beixing is so pure and innocent, he is the type of man who will love you, protect you, sacrifice for you but not greedy, he's willing to care for you behind knowing that you already like someone. Beixing didn't realise this at first, but with her ability to go back time, she tried all her best to care for Wansen and love him back. I don't know how to say it but I like this series. Chaoyang, Gaoge, Maizi are the friends we need, they are what we can call true friends. The characters will show you different personalities and has the best character development.

The OST here completely complimented the drama, they are really great and soothing to the ear and will totally add emotions and feeling to it. And lastly, the acting of the 2 main is just so fine, they totally bagged their characters, this cast is just perfect.

Go watch it, it is adorable/cute, logical, life learning, somewhat funny, etc.
