Not worth anyone’s time

Every episode makes me hate this series more.

- MC girl's facial reaction was 50% astonished and startled, with her mouth half open, 25% stunned and crying, and 25% faking so poorly. I'm not sure if this is what the director wants or a lack of acting skills.

- It always follows the same pattern: shocked, sobbing, side humor, and startled. Come on, this is getting boring.

- Stupid FL. She spends the entirety of the drama trying to keep the ML away. She never considered alternate solutions to the situation or use her brain. She is always startled and runs away from her problems instead of facing them. Somehow she was able to prove she is from the future by freezing time and walking to hide even though she wasn’t supposed to be able to tell Sunjae. It's as if she never uses her intellect. She never tried to tell her family or friends about the kidnapper/killer but instead she could tell Sunjae. Poor storyline or direction, many many plot holes

- No character growth; she remains an idiot till the end. Also, no chemistry with the male MC. The storyline is predictable.

- No explanation for how time travel occurred. I believe the writers had no idea what to do and kept going in circles.

- I believe this drama is for novice watchers who are just getting into kdramas. It is suitable for kids and teenagers who are in that juvenile stage of their life.

- Nobody with true standards and an appreciation for storyline, character arcs or complexity would enjoy this drama, unless they are searching for a show to watch while turning their brain off. It demands no thought because the premise is really simple and the storyline is poorly constructed. If cheesy romance is your thing, there's plenty here.

I give this a 3/10 and I am trying to be nice.
