I loved this show because it was unique and I'm also a fan of time travel. Not one cliché is used throughout the entire 16 episodes and it does indeed twist and turn throughout. Time travel as a subject can be quite confusing as there are "multiverses" created and time loops that I still can't wrap my head around. As far as acting goes, Park Jin Gyum is unbelievably good as is the rest of the cast. There is very little romance involved in the plot and what little is hinted has become quite controversial with some. I just take the story at face value and try not to read something into familiar affection. I recommend "Alice" for everyone who is a fan of the genre as I am.
