The cast acting was really good as well, specially from Alice Ke. The music is another important thing about this drama, u can notice that they're extremely connected to the history and do not serve as just background sound. Simple amazing.
I don't think I can get over this anytime soon. I just wish I could forget all I watched just to watch it again. But anyways, even not forgetting at all I'm gonna watch again, and again.

Well made time travel drama
I really enjoyed the storyline. It’s painfully beautiful. At first, I thought that it’s just an ordinary romance drama, but I wrong. I love how the writer wrote the time travel thing so neat like this. The plot isn’t too slow, isn’t too fast neither. The three main leads did a good job in portraying the characters here especially the girl. I love how she portrayed the different character of CRY and HYX. The chemistry was so good too. You can feel the sweetness of love and friendship here.Was this review helpful to you?
Story: the writting is beautiful.
Usually time travel drama are filled with plot hole and unexplained part. Here I couldn't find any . The story is coherent and mind-blowing . There are many twists and they come in a well paced way. This a 13 episodes, intricately and perfectly plotted drama, There relationship between the characteres are well played and help to understand the female lead.
I will just say that the lip reading ability was a slightly exagerated.
Acting : they all pulled off their characters so well , Especially, you could make a distinction between the multiple characters hat were played by the same actors.
OST: i can't remenber when was the last time i've let the credit play to here the music. Overall the OST was good .
I might avoid listening Wu Bai's "Last Dance" for a will because it was overplayed since it also serves as a plot device.
The other song are beautifull.
Rewatch value: the story were the twists and how deftly the story leads you in different directions was the core of the drama. Although that power is lost by rewatching,it will a good occasion to check all the clue that i missed.

You're Not Disappointed, You Just Have Too Many Expectations
Tbh I almost dropped this drama. Because it was rather slow for the first 2 episodes. I almost searched spoilers just to know the ending without watching the whole drama.But then I read someone said the first 2 episodes are indeed a little slow, but it'd get much better and intriguing for the rest. Also, I read someone else said it was better to know less about the drama, and just go with it.
So I stopped reading, and just actually watched it.
I'm glad I did it.
This drama was amazing.
That's it I'm going to say. Better watch it yourself ?

Confused, but the good type of confused that leaves you wanting more!
It's been awhile since I've wanted a Taiwanese drama, so I decided to pick this one up and WOW - I was amazed. The complex storyline and the amazing acting by all the actors (especially by Alice Ko and Greg Hsu) and they just seem to work really well. Usually time travel dramas aren't written well, but this one begs to differ. It's a drama that makes you hooked and confused, but wanting to know more.I feel like this drama is so underrated, so if you are still debating whether to watch it or not - Hurry up and load up Episode 1!

The story is not an ordinary time traveling concept. It's new. In first episodes, I get confused a little bit but after I continue watching, I can stop. Even though sometimes the plot is a lil bit confusing, back and forth from the future to the past and vice versa, but I enjoy this drama so much.
The acting wow I love the ML and FL. They're so great. Also the supporting casts, they play the role so well. I love their characters, especially Mo Jun Jie and Uncle Wei. No characters are left behind. I can relate the character of Chen Yun Ru, I have that side on me lol.
The soundtracks, I love it. But yeah not gonna lie, I don't like the time traveling song "The Last Dance" sorry. Maybe because it played so many times or the song is not my preference.
I love this drama so much. Well done, writer, actors, director, and the crews!

SUPERB MASTERPIECE!!!
I loved this drama so much. Its short enough that it's not too short, not too long. The plot is well thought out and well executed. I loved it!!! I was a bit confused in the beginning but I kept moving. One thing i have to mention is that the drama needs a trigger warning because a lot of stuff happen that could affect someone emotionally, but thats all. This drama left me feeling so light and happy. Its not a light drama at all. It addresses so many issues like suicide, mental issues, sexual harassment... After finishing it through long hours of tears and happiness, I came to the conclusion that this is my second favorite drama of all time and I wish you make time and watch it all.Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful
I didn't know this was going to be such a tearjerker going into it. But it was, and I thought that all the timelines and the characters were thought through so well — especially the two leads, who just had the best chemistry and relationship dynamic no matter where or when they were.This is one of those dramas I just wish was one or two more episodes longer, because there were some timelines (modern day and ending, specifically) that I wish were more fleshed out and let us see more of the relationship between the characters.
Other than that, I have absolutely no qualms here; the story was complex, the OST was beautiful, and I absolutely adore the characters. Really looking forwards to the movie.

An extraordinary drama tangled in time
Someday or one day was an amazing drama with an unique plot which tangled in time. The drama's mystery keeps viewers blank about the unpredictable plot and twists. The production team layed down this complex plot to an amazing masterpiece with no loopholes. While when I could predict most of the plot in other dramas I found the story unwinding in the very lasts of the episodes. The OSTs has a lost and at the same time enchanting feeling elevating me. A once in a lifetime drama you should never miss out if your into time travel and doppelgangers.Was this review helpful to you?
A MUST WATCH!!!
What can I say aside from the fact that this drama is so so Good that I had to watch it for the second time right after I finished the whole show! If I have to put it in words I would end up putting all the positive superlative adjectives I know. This has made me create an account and put a review!!! I was tooooo excited and talked about this show to every person I know. I was then called crazy for always searching anything related to this show. Watched it last month and just can't get over and I think I have to listen to all the OST to keep myself sane. I've watched Youtube videos and clips and luckily saw the Extra scenes that is definitely a must watch! Please see link: https://youtu.be/tZYiqicuH7s First Taiwan series I've watched and looking for other shows like this. Btw, I have forced my 16 year old younger sister to watch it and unfortunately, she did not understand some parts of the story. I had to get a piece of paper and a pen and explained the whole plot and timeline!!!! LMAO!!Was this review helpful to you?
MASTERPIECE
That's it.This drama is a masterpiece.
So beautifully written
the events are so perfectly intricated with each other.
The soundtrack is soothing.
The cast is good (I fell in love with Male lead)
The storyline is what I signed up for and much better than my expectations.
Although the rating was high I never had my expectations up. The first 2-3 episodes were slow but when you get that hold it will become so interesting. I binged watched it. Completed in a day.
Don't know if i will re-watch it since I already know the plot now and no more suspense but maybe I will since I already started to miss the cast.
The love story is so beautiful and pure.. I don't know how to describe it.
Verdict : Give it a try. Don't drop in first episode. Watch upto 3-4 episodes I guess. Because it will be worth the patience,once you get the hang of it you will fall in the black hole and will love this drama :)
