Let's be real... I watched this for Doyoung.

Story:
Because I didn't watch the previous season, the story was quite confusing to me. However, the ending does end up explaining the whole episode as well as the purpose of it. Through the story we observe different life lessons and see how Ji-woo responds to them. After reading synopsis of the episode, the overall message and purpose of the story becomes clearer; the future is an inevitable event that can open the doors to any possibility, however, a change in the present can change the patterns of the future. And the cafe is an example of those changes that can better or worsen an outcome for an individual.

Acting/Cast:
For Doyoung's first drama, I believe he did a great job. I'm no acting coach or professional in this field, but his acting seemed more scripted than natural. But, that is completely normal, for I think his acting will come more naturally as long as he's offered more acting gigs. The other lead had a more natural vibe since she is a rookie actress and has featured in some projects. The supporting actors were also great. But, I don't know if it's just me, or did the mom's acting seem more scripted? ToT I'm not sure if it was because of the character being played or if that's her acting style.. ToT

Music:
Go stream Doyoung's OST !!

Overall:
Like I said, after reading more summaries of the plot, it became easier to understand. In addition, the more I began to understand, the more the message of the episode hits more. I got quite sad because this type of feeling can be relatable for many; sometimes holding onto the past or looking forward for the future too much. If you're into time travelling, mind bending dramas, this one is perfect. Since it is a short series, it may be easy for many to finish. Most importantly, if you're an NCTzen, this is definitely something to check out since many NCTzens have wanted to see it. And stan NCT !!
