I wasn't going to review this, but after completing it I find that I do want to try to say something about it.

I quite liked it in the beginning because all I wanted was to watch a modern, somewhat emotional drama with some actor that I like. I adore Yang Shuo so I just wanted to try this one. I soon found that this drama was very annoying, because it is obvious already in the first episode that this is a dream (or alternate reality perhaps, but not actual time travel) so for that matter we can all assume how it will end.

In the meantime, in her dream, Shi Jian believes it is real. We know it's not, so after some time, her concerns to make time "get back on track", actually it's not important. Because she's actually in a parallell existance!! She doesn't know, so the whole drama is about two things mainly: making sure her mother gets reated for cancer, and getting back together with Jiacheng.

In the real world, the two of them met when he was an established architect and he was single. In her dream it is ten years earlier, he is fresh out of college, and he has a girlfriend (the typical kind of "Evil" second FL). Another user has already described in their review what is so problematic with Shi Jian's actions.

The thing that really stands out in this drama is Yang Shuo's character Yi Pei. He's acting very well (he smiles a lot less than in other dramas, but when he does, oh wow) and Yi Pei is a truly wonderful man. So kind, so smart, even though people call him "cold" in the first half of the drama. If you have never had "second lead syndrome" before, you will feel that way now (only the second time for me, but I hear SLS is a thing for a lot of people). His storyline is sad (though *spoiler* not quite as sad as I feared, and his last scene is just as bittersweet as it is confusing. WHAT just happened there? I'm not even sure I want to know. Bittersweet to say the least! *end spoiler*).

When it comes to all the supporting characters in the drama, I liked them most of the time. Wenwen was a bit annoying at times but she was nice too. Jiacheng was a rather typical male lead and I didn't always like him. As for the main character, Shi Jian, I had a hard time warming up to her (I thought her voice was childish and she smiled too much).

Overall, I found this drama to be pointless and stupid BUT oddly addictive and easy to watch. Yi Pei's struggle was real and I have to admit, if it weren't for him, I most likely would have dropped this drama early on. Now I'm still kind of glad I watched it though.

If you think this review is confusing, well, I'm really confused too as to why this story was even written. Everything that happened could be said to make some kind of sense for a drama, but I really thought only schoolkids (I did it when I was in like grade 8) wrote stories that ended "and then she woke up and to her relief, it was just a dream!"
