Happen to chance upon this movie and got captivated with the word ‘timeless’ which I’m a fanatic for time traveling & fantasy genres and best of all it was categorized as ‘comedy’. Tried to search for details but isn’t any review in here so decided to share some after watching.

**NOTE: There’s always some spoilers in my review, please stop reading from here onwards if u happen to be someone who don’t like spoilers yea!

Yes it is a comedic way (had some laughs in between the movie, simple slapsticks but good enough to make audience chuckle at bit) of bringing out a good message in the end of the story. All is good ending (yea I’m a sucker for good endings, at least NOT hanging endings or guessing game for viewers).

Romance part, not exactly romantic (oh well, how romantic can comedies be, given this is not Korean movie...Chinese comedy movie rarely can achieve romantic level that gives us mushy and clouds-in-the-air-feel) but enough scenes to give some goosebumps for us to laugh on!

Special credit to these bunch of actors and actresses as this seems like a low budget production to me (u can take notice at how the manager’s office room is decorated with bare minimals and some scenes and their attire does reveal what’s their budget, but yet it seems that they have tried their best...I’ve only checked the main casting after watching, as to my amaze their acting isn’t that bad (something I can accept for a low budget comedy). And apparently the main actress all having at least acted in two productions (some even more) prior to this movie. No wonder their acting isn’t all bad, however given this movie plotline involves changing of multiple roles, their acting seems to be overlapping and for each of them is not easy to stand out among all.

Plotline is simple with some twist at the end, but I find the characters could have better outlines if this is a drama version (it is quite usual for movies with such plotline had to be in a rush to bring out the entire story). Some audience could probably not follow what is happening if they aren’t time travelling/ fantasy movie fanatics like me.

Music nothing memorable, just something audible in between the storyline is presented.

In a nutshell, this movie is worth watching for those who enjoy simple & short romcom with familiar slapstick jokes and silly scenes to squeeze some giggles for us to escape reality for a while. Nothing serious, but there’s a well meaning about life that the director did bring out in the ending.

Enjoy the show everyone! ^v^
