I really tried to like this – time travel is such a great and interesting trope if done right. Unfortunately, it was wasted in this story. Almost all of Ren's research (which she does having some sort of knowledge about the future) is done off the screen, and aside from the first episode, the concept of time travel is criminally ignored. There are many things I would have simply overlooked if I had not anticipated a proper story. First, the script: Lene is a boss of a company. Want to know something more? Sorry, that is all. There are four workers in the huge-ass building who sometimes go for meetings to throw random buzzwords like "shares" and "sales". They also, like Ren, hand Lene documents. What kind of documents? Just documents, what more do you want to know? The writing is so lazy, all company-related conversations felt like a big waste of time since they provided exactly nothing. Secondly, the editing. In one shot the person is, in the next one they magically disappear. Shoes are on one side of the bed, in the next shot they are on the other. The editing of the classic scene of falling on the bed was so comically unreal even by romance standards. And the amount of slow motion, do not even get me started on that. On the bright side, I think the acting was not bad. The chemistry, I could see it. I just wished they would convince me. The thing is, I was painfully conscious most of the time that I was watching a drama. Not a delightful story, not a breath-taking romance, just a drama with actors saying their lines and half-decent scenography.
