This drama is like a three course dish in a very good restaurant with Michelin stars. The starter and main dish are just truly amazing but when you expect a fancy dessert straight from the molecular cuisine you get a simple apple pie with ice creams and you are like “huh only an apple pie? This is not what I expected” But still after watching so many amazing dramas I have to admit that if someone asks me about “the drama of my life” I would definitely point my finger at Meet Me @1006.
Where do I begin? At first I love this drama so much because of time travelling. This is my cup of tea and this is the first time when I see that idea in a drama. Merger of apartments and short time travel is a very refreshing concept that force characters to deal with that in a unique way and additionally causes lots of funny moments. If you are fan of time travelling you know very well that many shows start to be annoying at some point because of paradoxes or butterfly effect. Very often they are explained in a really bad way. Surprisingly here many elements were explained brilliantly. So from the point of time travelling everything is on its place and I am more than satisfied.
Second thing is the cast. So I will be honest with you that Nikki and Lego are my fav couple ever. I also have seen them in “Love at 17” and they have amazing chemistry on set. To be honest they are very, very close friends and they feel extremely comfortable with each other during shooting, you can easily see it. Because of that many intimate scenes are just a pure perfection. Lego became my number one in silent acting or as I personally call it “a half sentence acting” when he drops a line to finish his thought by his face expression.
Another gem in the cast is Huang Tender who is hairdresser in his everyday life (by the way, between shoots he did hair for female stuff on set, just for fun ;) ) He has natural talent for acting and it is pleasure to watch him in all the scenes.
The last thing that I totally love is music and photos and places that create proper atmosphere for that series. The song from the opening is just brilliant - you can’t stop listening to it, believe me. Amazing photos with perfect filter and editing and of course industrial and plain flat interior just won over my heart. Not even mention the amazing trailers that you can see on YT (my fav is the one with swinging lamps).
So what about this apple pie instead of fancy dessert at the end? Well it is a quite good apple pie so you will eat it anyway but you will probably have an insufficiency. Script is really interesting with many plot twist and time shuffles but some thread could be explained better at the very end. I had a feeling that two episodes before the ending were cut out and I miss some part of the story. The explanations of some threads were just too simple after so many plot twists and some characters literally deserve to have more complex endings. Intricately built plot speeds up too much in last episode that’s for sure. (As far as I know director explained some decisions about the plot in the interview but unfortunately only Chinese speaking people can figure it out).
But do I recommend this anyway? SURE I DO. There are so many awesome moments in this drama! The bathroom scene is epic! The fact that Jia Le has to deal with lawyer Ke from future and past (her present) – here Lego did awesome job because even though this is the same person he behaves in totally different ways and Lego portrayed it in a splendid way. Still these two versions on one person are very consistent with each other - it is a masterpiece. The whole murder plot is really interesting and keeps you in suspense. And there is a big possibility that after the series finale you will feel a huge need to learn how to do an origami pegasus.
