My Thoughts:

A super cute love story with a splendid development and ending. The person who made the webcomic is truly clever. Though it was a little tough watching this because of the presence of cliches but it was nevertheless fun and enjoying. Interesting and unique. Before I watched this, I had wondered how would you make a story that has a focus on heels but when I watch I was blown away by the answer.

Years later, she finally learns that the trigger to activating her ability is by touching an important item which belonged to a deceased person that held some sort of significance for them.

My Thoughts:

A splendid drama. Weird characters which creates the humor and comedy of the drama. Time-travelling and changing the future. Cool concept. Since I saw the lead girl in a movie before as a serious kind of person, to see her character in here made me laugh even more from impression of her movie. The character improves over the episodes and in a way prevents her company from making money too in a sense now that I think about it.  When she travels back to the past, she always make this weird face expression and words which are funny to see and hear. She was in a dazed at every time travel to the past but afterwards she was determined to do what she can.

My Thoughts:

If you are fine with some weirdness which this drama displays for comedy and fantasy, then you would enjoy this drama. A great drama in fact. It has great development of characters and many suspenseful moments and twist that surprises it's viewers. A small number of episodes at around 30 minutes each gives the viewers not much time to yawn while watching it. Packed tightly with events and stories, a splendid drama to watch.
