This Review Contains Spoilers!!!

Now that i read the comment sections of this drama and some of the reviews and there are some things i disagree with which is why i am writing a review. This is a review for the people who have watched this drama. If you haven't, and are thinking to watch it or not then i strongly recommend to watch it. Its is just 15 episodes, it will be over in 2 days and also after the first 3 episodes the drama will hook you up.

Now comes the spoilers part!!!
People think these are plot holes or convenient writing to progress the story but i disagree. Here's why:

1. Many people disagree with the ending or maybe specifically the reason why the dead girl (Wang Meng Meng) wanted to just get out from the bus instead of making a ruckus over the pervert but as we know she was timid and shy. Maybe she just wanted to get/run away from the situation or save her reputation. I am not saying it is a good choice but many people do that when they are presented in a uncomfortable situation they just pretend so that the situation can pass.

2. Also many people say that why was the bus driver was wrongfully implicated which i disagree because according to the drama the bus drivers are not allowed to stop in middle of the road and open the doors. Also who the fuck stops the bus in the middle lane of a three way highway in the middle of the bridge to get a girl go. Bro could have parked in the right lane. In most of the bridges people could walk there entire way through foot on the right pedestrian path too.

3. People say that the criminal (pervert) got away with it easily rather than the parents of dead girl going to prison for terrorism and mass murder attempt probably has a higher jail time than sexual harassment. I don't think so because for unwanted sexual touching and groping offenses in China "Crime of Forcible Indecency" (Article 237). The fixed-term imprisonment is 5 years. And we don't know if Wang Meng Meng was a minor or not so it can be more than 5 years. Also at the end of EP 15 there is a scene where the father of Wang Meng Meng , Wang Xing De identifies the pervert in the jail and stares at him. So, i don't think he is coming out of jail alive.

4. Some don't understand the characters: the FL has more emotional intelligence and thinks with the heart we got to know that in one of the loops where she just tried to convince Wang Xing De why he betrays her. And it doesn't work. And the ML is the rational / logical body of the entire operation. This makes the drama and the chemistry between the leads more interesting.

5. Some argue that there are too many repetitions maybe of police station inquiry that it became boring. I don't think that way, the police station is the only place where they can do confidential information gathering and that can only be possible if they get in as a suspect not as a witness. Remember they will go back to the loop, if they sleep, in the bus and have 20 mins to stop a bomb blast. In the starting however, they did it unintentionally and in the latter half of the series they did it intentionally. Also this is a time loop drama how did you think it will turn out to be? Also one of the rare dramas where the police is not corrupt.

6. One of the reviewers says that there is no reason explaining why they are in stuck in a time loop?
Now there is not a concrete reason behind this by the original creator (Qi Dao Jun) but we can interpret.
Let me explain: One of the reviewers noticed that Wang Meng Meng and the FL are almost identical
i. they are wearing blue tops/outfits
ii. have almost identical if not the same bag with the same keychains and pins (can be verified in EP 15)
iii.. they both go to the same college / University
iv. and they have the same Teacher Wu
My interpretation is that the soul of Wang Meng Meng wanted to prevent the tragedy , save her parents and punish the pervert makes the FL the center of time loop. She wanted the FL to do it alone. But in one of the loops the FL blames the ML to be a pervert and the ML also enters the time loop not because the FL saves the ML from explosion but that was a clue given by Wang Meng Meng to FL that what her (Wang Meng Meng) story was about? This was also the reason why Lu Di did not enter the time loop.

7. Now there is one question that why was the ML growing weaker with each loop? And why was he okay in the last loop where i felt that he will die in EP 15?
According to my theory above the reason is that he wasn't the original choice for the time loop by Wang Meng Meng , the FL (Li Shi Qing) was, and she being a ghost could not afford two people going through time loop. He was literally dragged of by the FL altering his fate to die in an explosion. That may be why his body was growing weaker with each loop.
As for why did he recover in the final loop where he was about to die may be due to this being the last loop or maybe because Wang Meng Meng didn't want a sad ending to her story like us (I also didn't want a sad ending).
