What I Like

• I have watch and read several time travel story, but travelling to the past by possesing person through a photo is something that feels novel to me.
• Although I think some story in it are cliche (for example, that girl that want to become a comic artist & her strict mother) and the writer has penchant for making tearjerking moments through multiple deaths, I think this donghua explore human emotion well. Particularly about regret and the consequence of changing the past.
• The main characters are lovely. I especially like Qiao Ling. I like the friendship between these 3 people.
• It does incite my curiosity regarding the villain’s motive.

My Other Comments

• Tbh, I always think Lu Guang’s rules are kind of strange. “Change nothing, past or future just let them be”. What does he mean with that, when their 1st mission in season 1 was to stole financial data that make a company went bankrupt? Isn’t that already change the future of many people? It’s even more strange for me after Bridon Arc because the incident that make Lu Guang repeatedly travel back in time was because they get punished for changing the past. So why Lu Guang still do Time Photo Studio & allow Cheng Xiaoshi took risky mission, considering Cheng Xiaoshi’s personality?
• The policeman in season 2 are kind of incompetence & don’t have a sense of crisis considering they’re dealing with supernatural power, not ordinary criminal.
