The main couple made watching it bearable

I don't know where to start with this.

So I've held back on watching this because I've seen previews on youtube, and it was confusing, and watching it made it more confusing. So I don't normally need the synopsis' of dramas and I go by deciding whether to watch them by casts, posters, previews and stuff like that, so going into the drama without much knowledge was a mistake.

The drama chooses to go start to the plot without much reasoning or explanation and with a drama with this time traveling-body swap plot is a mistake. From the first episode, it is also evident that the production had a smaller budget compared to dramas of the same kind. The budget is not only evident in the sets, side characters but also in the script itself. With such a complex storyline, the drama really suffers because of the poor writing. The story suffer from many plot holes, what feel like last minute decisions and decisions for convience. The writing didnt seem very well thought out. I had had to check the synopsis to get the essence of the story and considering this is an adaptation, i guess i expect the story to be more put together.

The visuals of the set already made it hard to watch and then the poor script made it even harder. At the first few episodes of the drama, I found it hard to believe that many people actually found this enjoyable considering that this is about to have a third season and the rating this has on here. I tried to continue watching despite hating it, just to see what made people like this.

Because of the poor writing, I didn't even notice when the ML started becoming fond of the FL but as the relationship grew, I started to understand. It was all in their chemistry, they had really cute, sweet scenes that makes you giddy. I love the ML's glaze and how showy he is about his feelings, which not as common in other dramas. My favourite character has to be Jing Xin, the actress portrays her very nicely, it's sad that in the middle towards the end of the drama, she was absent for a lot of the episodes. Either than that, this drama was trash, really. The story is just so iffy because of the writing.

The main point is if you dont really care about the story and just care about the romantic parts, the skip button's your best friend. The main couple was really cute, the story's a blackhole and that's about it.
