All's Sweet That Ends Sweet

The drama started off in a haste, with time-travel thing happening too fast but this drama wasn't as sweet as I imagined it to be. But that is what makes this one unique.

Story: Yes, it was a rom-com but had a scientific side to it too. This drama curbs your fantasy of going back into future to make things right because everything comes with a price and whatever you do there could have a butterfly effect on present times. But the ending was finally sweet.

Acting: Do I have to comment on Ivy Shao's experience and Marcus' skills?

Cinematography: This is simply the overall aesthetics of the drama. Drama lacked fancy shots but all that add to the realistic feel it gives off. This drama did take me back to 1989 with all those obsolete things people used back then.

Direction: When I say this drama took me to 1989, it simply means the director did a great job. Although, it could have been just a bit shorter. Also, when Chen Che travels through time, his body does not transport but when another person (I will keep this a secret) travels, his/her body is transported. Director overlooked this but it's okay, as long as it is sweet.

If you want to get out of the sweet sweet world of dramas yet try something that inspires imagination, do try this.
