Miss Romcom
Această recenzie poate conține spoilere
A compelling time travel love story mixed with a crime mystery
Likes: The complicated love story between Huang Yu Xuan and Li Zi Wei. It tugged at my heart.
Dislikes: The time traveling/soul switching/parallel lives aspect is INCREDIBLY confusing, but then again, every timetraveling drama often doesn't make sense to me.
I'm usually not into crime mysteries, but this one had me hooked by episode 3...yes, by ep 3. The first 2 were basically setting things up so it was boring to the point where I thought I would drop this, but by ep3, the fun begins to start. Ep 3 is where you start to see the romance develop between Huang Yu Xuan and Li Zi Wei and the fun chemi begins. But the romance is not the only thing that hooks you...the mystery also captures your attention because just like the leads, you want to understand what the heck is going on. This drama interweaves the romance and the mystery very well so that I was never bored. It kept me on my toes.
The main trio did a fantastic job playing their characters both in the past and future. There's a lot of emotion that was conveyed just through the eyes which I loved. I really felt the intense yearning between the FL and ML at various points along the timeline. Just note, this is not a feel good drama though. While the youthful romance is fun, there's a lot of depressing and sad elements that surround it.
The only major flaw with this drama is the time traveling/soul switching aspect...which I admit is a huge aspect of this story. Really confusing. I get why viewers may drop this because of that. I had to read the synopsis a few times to understand the gist of what's going on and even then it was sometimes hard to know which time and which soul I was watching. I felt like they could have made this clearer to the viewers. And don't even attempt to sound out the logic because with any time travel drama, trying to make sense of which came first? The chicken or the egg would make you go crazy.
This is a tricky one for recommendation because while I really liked this, if you can't ignore the flawed time traveling logic that makes no sense, then I think you will probably dislike this. But if you can overlook that, and want to watch something with emotional gravity, a mystery, and a timeless romance, then I would say give this a try.
