It's brilliant
Practically everything about this drama - plot, pacing, production, acting - has so much care and scrutiny put into it and it shows. This is the kind of drama that sets the bar really high and makes it hard to go back to mediocre dramas. It's quite addicting, episodes fly by and its one of these just-one-more-episodes type dramas. I can even say it's a drama that may even get one out of a drama slump.
The writing has a lot of detail and logic to satisfy the mystery elements but the pace is also fast to complement the action/thriller elements of the story. While the main characters are quite smart, the deductions they have make sense and they are not unrealistic geniuses. I really, really liked our male and female leads. The dilemmas they face and they have and evoke with all the other characters are also quite reasonable. In fact, the way the writing fleshed out almost all of the characters was wonderful. Time-looping can be a very tricky subjects but the flow of story was very smooth.
The acting matches the quality of the writing and it is extremely well done, especially all the micro expressions needed by actors at certain scenes. Our leads had a very good chemistry as well. The production quality was also excellent and again, so much attention paid to quality and detail.
The only, only gripes quite minor. Being an action/mystery set-up, our leads did go through some character development but on whole generally static characters as the norm with these genres. However, there was a little bit about the male lead's background and resulting character that was introduced and mostly but not entirely followed up on. Also, there is a specific point towards the end that spends quite some time at one points, story wise. It's very well-done but in consequence the wrap-up of the resulting scene was a little quicker than I would have liked. But these are very nit-picky and do not detract from the over all story.
This would be an interesting re-watch to try to spot the clues in advance and how everything break down. In conclusion, this is the kind of drama that is really hard to find. No matter the genre of preference, this is one most people should enjoy.
