I'm a traditional rom-com type of viewer. I watched this because the premise sounded intriguing and I'm a fan of the ML. Thoroughly enjoyed this short drama, more than I anticipated!

I feel that the whole essence to this drama is to be subtle and understated. Not an expert, nor do I have any comparisons for all the other psychological dramas out there - however, I found the pace comfortable as I could let my mind think along with the characters. The weaving in of past/present/future kept my mind guessing where we were at times which I think contributes to the psychological aspect for the viewer. I enjoyed that healing was included, but very nuanced instead of forced.

Have not read the book, so again no comparison there. But we always say the books are better for adaptations so personally anyone who expected it to match the book sets their sights too high.

This was a web drama that caught me by surprise. Stumbled onto the first episode on YouTube and watched the entire series in one night. It swept me up in its story and left me feeling warm and light-hearted.

The individual leads with their stories interwoven was wonderful and not over-complicated for entertainment value. We are left to experience the emotions with them and watch them grow through their experiences in the short episodes. It takes you back to being that age, learning as you live life and make mistakes.

The way the handled the topics of relationships/intimacy/sex was the best I've seen in any drama. It was respected, had the perfect mix of serious and funny to ease into hard topics, but also allowed you to reflect on your own thoughts and way of dealing with those topics. Absolutely well done!

Just finished the series....now I get it! The huge fan base online is absolutely warranted.

First, the world created - stunning imagery, whimsical and set the tone for the magic to occur. Each world was unique for contrast but connected together so well to make the settings cohesive. It never felt over done.

Second, the writing - well done to the writing team on this series! I think they did well with the character development and storyline for every 'lead' character. Not only did the 2 main leads have an excellent story to follow, but every other main character has their story develop to show character growth through the series. You will enjoy the twists and turns as things unfold, as well as having all the feels.

Now the acting, love the casting so much. Esther and Dylan made this series strong but romantic, full of emotion that was perfect instead of feeling forced or fake. Each of the other leads did a fantastic job in their own right, no one being weaker than the others in my opinion. This series deserves the hype it has from fans, and now I'll join in the hype any time I mention it!
