I was so stressed out

Okay, so going into this I was a bit skeptical because I am NOT a fan of time-travel plots. I still watched it though because it's a HIStory and I am bound by law to watch every HIStory movie at least 10 times. I will say that there was a lot of potential here, but things got so weird so fast. It seems like they tried to cover everything up in the end QUICKLY.

The main couple is... alright... I guess. They have some scenes that are really cute, but for the most part their chemistry is lackluster and I can't pinpoint why they are even together. Their arguments are also kind of weird and one of them always ends up running off crying, which is SO ANNOYING. The second couple is so adorable—the only highlight—but the misunderstandings made me start to hate their relationship around the midway point. CAN'T PEOPLE JUST COMMUNICATE? IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT TO TALK! THINGS! THROUGH! Ugh, there is just so much happening midway through this drama that I felt very very stressed and couldn't wait for it to be over. At one point, it felt like some of the subplots were so useless/carelessly thrown in, I just start skipping through scenes.

There's a cameo from a previous HIStory drama in here; that definitely made me smile. But, at the same time, the whole drama has wayyy too much going on. The supernatural element is also kind of dumb (funny at times, but still dumb).

I know this review is a rant, but I'll probably end up eating my words when I rewatch this in a year or so (only for the second couple though lowkey).
