An Addicting and Thrilling Drama!!

Wow. Where do I begin with this drama? This drama has blown me away. I usually avoid modern cdramas since most of the time, they're not to my liking. I saw this drama was trending on Weibo, saw my family watching it too, and figured I would give it a shot since it was just 15 episodes. And boy, I was in for one heck of a ride.

The drama had me hooked from the first episode. The directors, writers, and producers did a fantastic job with the plot, the story, the cast, everything (with minor plot holes of course). You would think a time loop would be boring and repetitive to watch, but they made sure that with each episodie and time loop, the drama would be more interesting and intense than the last. The setup of each episode made it really easy to follow the time loop too. I also appreciated the fact that we got to see into the different lives of the bus passengers. Initially, I never thought the drama would show us their lives and they would remain strangers. The show even had us suspecting them! But by the last episode, I had grown attached to many of these sweet and caring bus passengers who were just trying to get by in their lives.

I also enjoyed the romance in the show!! It was minimal enough to not interfere with the whole time loop plot, but enough to satisfy me to a certain extent. (While I do want to watch more episodes of the leads together, I'm satisfied with what we got too. Any more romance added to the show would have likely ruined the whole point of the show.) Also, the cast!!! They really brought the story to life with their great acting. I got attached to the characters and definitely got emotional at times throughout the episodes.

If you're hesitating to watch this show, I want to say it's definitely worth your time. It was absolutely thrilling to watch, and you'll be in for one heck of a ride :)

Amazing, must watch drama!!!

This drama is phenomenal! After finishing The Untamed drama, I had a hard time getting into new dramas. But this show was perfect! It's a light, romantic drama with some comedy, but it still had me dropping my jaw at so many scenes.

I also absolutely adore the main leads! Their relationship is super cute and misunderstandings are quickly resolved. I'm glad the female lead is strong and able to think for herself and doesn't do stupid things for the sake of love. I also love how wonderful the FL's family is. Everyone is nice and not everyone is scheming against the main leads, a nice change for once.

Worthy of being one of the top Kdramas of the year! :)

WOW! What a ride! If you love historical romance, fantasy, and action, this is the PERFECT show for you!!

AoS is an incredible show that takes you through a series of thrilling action, good character development, great plot, and fantastic cinematography! (Plus, the OSTs are AMAZING!! And when the OSTs are good, that's when you know the show is good too ?)

I took an interest in the show because of the strong, powerful Naksu that I was expecting. Although it doesn't quite turn out that way, her character development during the journey of the show has been incredible. Also, props to Jung So Min for her acting! She had to act two different characters who are in the same body, which cannot be easy. She did such a great job a portraying the emotions and actions of both Jin Bu Yeon and Naksu. In general, the cast of the show did a fantastic job at depicting their character's feelings, intentions, actions, and everything all with great chemistry. I will admit that there are some plot holes, but I did not feel like it took away from the story at all. The story was interesting (I mean we're talking about soul shifting here ?) and took us on a great journey in Daeho. Thank you the director, writers, and cast for bringing this show to life!

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the show. Can't wait for Season 2!!

MUST WATCH!! Extra sweet, I can’t handle it ?

I’m normally a fan of historical c-dramas and not modern ones, but I decided to give it a chance after I saw high ratings for this and I don’t regret it one bit!! I don’t enjoy watching most modern rom-com c-dramas because of how repetitive certain character types are and plots that are easily predictable. But THIS, this show was a very refreshing change. I absolutely love the chemistry between Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai. It’s so sweet and I’m jumping around everywhere because I can’t handle it ? I love the relationships that other characters have with each other too (esp. Lao Mao and Lao K hahaha) No toxic relationships among the supporting characters either, which makes this drama light and easy to watch. Easily one of the best shows of 2021! I already can’t wait for more episodes hehe

Light, fun, and amusing romance drama!

I'll start off by saying that this is only the third drama I've managed to complete this year, the other two being Word of Honor and The Long Ballad (CGX). I've started several dramas after CGX, but I haven't been able to finish a show due to lackluster plots, intense political stories, disappointing endings, etc.

This drama had a unique new plot that was very different from past shows I've watched. At the same time, the show was really funny at some points too. It does get more serious in the second half of the show, but it wasn't too intense and didn't take away from the romance too much.

However, I did think the ending was a bit rushed. It was like one miracle after another and a lot of good luck that the FL and ML had. (And **SPOILER**, how honestly was the FL able to recover just like that when she seemed like she was on her deathbed a few scenes ago lol)

The SML also got immensely annoying in the second half of the show. Who knew he would be that important of a character in the show lol? And because of how annoying he was, I wouldn't rewatch the show again, at least the whole show. The romance between the leads is cute and worth watching again IMO.

Also, I want to throw in I'm a fan of both XKC and ZLS from previous shows they were in. As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed their acting!! I can't wait to see them in future dramas again!!
