Don't know what to make of it really!
It was an okay watch overall.
I liked the premise, I liked the cast, and I liked how it started... but where did it all go wrong?
Maybe I was expecting stronger supernatural elements or a tighter mythology, but I kept waiting for things to come together, and they never really did. I found myself asking, "Wait... what?" more than once.
* Not enough fully developed connections between the past and the present? ✓
* Emotional stakes that never felt deep enough, especially the rebirth storyline? ✓
* Characters making decisions that left me thinking, "Wait... what?" (Like Dan Sim, was actually switched earlier?) ✓
* Almost no exploration of what it would actually be like for a time traveler to adjust to modern life? ✓
* The last few episodes had me reaching for the fast-forward button? ✓
I still really liked the leads, and the show had a strong start, but it ultimately fizzled out instead of building to a satisfying payoff.
