This is the first non meteor/comet-triggered timeloop cdrama in my memory

Amidst the thrill, excitement, mystery and comedy of the episodes that seem to end even before I take a couple of breaths, I find this a fun ride. In retrospective it is a beautiful show that leaves you with positive emotions.

First of all appreciates every detail of the story and acknowledges the pain taken to bring each character's 'realistic' story under microscope. Ofc this is a middle class adventure...in the public Bus No. 45

15 episodes...compact and crisp, the richness of stories in each loop is enough to keep you engaged.
The show remains faithful to the time travel tag by getting to use the trope to effectively tell stories inside stories from different angles and perspectives conveying faithfully the richness and complexity of emotions in the web of relationships.

About the music... I find it new to cdramaland like a fresh breath of air. Minimalistic but littered wherever appropriate and befitting the genre. It reaches the crescendo at accurate points and complements the mood well.

ML has the boyish charm that makes his actions seem cute. He is also as serious as it can get at the right moment.
Fl doesn't lack in terms of acting or motivation.
Lu Di, ....Savior of cats..., ROCKS

That old lady made me go through all emotions from extreme hate disgust horror awe terror to feeling her helplessness and sympathy for her. Making peace with her character was a major challenge.

Kudos to the bus driver. He was and still at the end of the show remains the toughest nut to crack . The Comradeship in the police force is also brought to the forefront under the pressure from a bombing plot.

On the flip side
Answers to some of the questions are not explicit. You will have to refer back to the novel to be sure.

Was the ending an overkill?
In the case of Romance, the excess is always a bonus for me. Can't complain. But Personally felt the Romance overtook the plot a bit at the end.

I also felt the juxtaposition of rewarding versus punishing ceremony uncomfortable. But I was cheering for the leads at that time and they nearly blind folded me with that.

Last but not the least. (Could contain spoilers*)

Wht about the girl child of the one in the jail?
Will mengmeng initiate another loop incase her father tries to murder him(the worst case scenario)?
I am looking forward to Mengmemg's thoughts on this.

Ofc I would heartly welcome a season 2
May be also the adventures of the delivery guy who gets stuck in a time loop of his own?
