| Confusing at first, but once I understood how the story works I like it so much! and the ending is so heartbreaking, I already became attached to the secretary girl :( |
| if black hair guy didn't mesage her parents since her life was shit and she said she wouldn't have been able to find another work in the same kind of thing so she might have drawned herself so bolnde guy might have killed her for that, white hair probalby saw that too so he checked to see if it changed and he might be unaware of blond hair guy |

| So they have to "fix" the past with possessing someone and controlling his body to solve all the previous mistakes from what I understand, I wonder why they have these powers though, it was really heartwarming for the whole parental situation but heartbreaking to see that the girl has been found dead the end, I didn't expect that, but for sure it's because of that blond guy hmmm.... Also the soundtracks are really great so far, I love them! |

It's their only rule, in this case just relive the moment to get the information the client wants. Even if they have to do something different because after all Xiaoshi is another person with different thoughts and personality, they still try to not change anything. |

| Well shit man, this hit harder than I expected. The Chinese dialect makes the family moments felt much closer and more relatable. The twist was nicely setup whether the blonde is the villain or there to fix his missteps is in question. |
| Goddamn, I watched the last episode first somehow instead of EP1 XDD (rip) I get the whole story now after watching EP11 (mistake), everything is connected to each other. Still going to watch every episode, cause goddamn.. the soundtrack is AMAZING. The english OP with the dance moves is fabulous, ED is even better imo. Interesting episode, OST is very lively and funky, animation is good, bromance? yessir. |

| I didn't except her to die after her emotional speech. It was a confusing start and more or less they need to explain the plot later but I don't find for being the first episode. |

| I just tried it out of curiosity. I was expecting something wholesome or maybe some fujo-baity stuff. But, this was awesome! The story is dark and dramatic. An innocent and good action was punished unfairly. And, a queer coded relationship! (Since this is Chinese donghua, a queer-coded relationship is the best I can hope for, I guess.) The twist at the end was so good. Everything looked like it had been fixed, and it turns out it hadn't. I felt so bad for the girl this whole episode. I really wanted her to get that happiness at the end. |

| So I finally got to watch this. I feel like this is going to be one of my favorite. Got me emotional right by the first episode. Let's see how they handle this time-travel theme. |

| This is pretty neat. It's kinda like a mixture of Ai:The Somnium Files and Tokyo Revengers. I was cautious about this show at first but I'm totally gonna keep watching! |

| Damn, that hit hard. I have hopes for this one. |
 |
| Oooh episodic or will the cases eventually tie into each other? I can't wait to find out. Even though the outcome turned out positive, looks like our guys didn't hesitate to turn in the secret recipe to their client. Their powers and their business touches on moral dilemmas. |

| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| It's a little disorienting watching an animation in Chinese, but it was really good! The style was so much different than I'm used to but it was really pretty in my opinion. I also absolutely loved the ending ost. |

MannyManManson said: except he can't, i think you misunderstood some things (i was confused too dw).It seems like the white hair dude can see if the photo contains the data they are looking for, how? and if it's because he can see the data then why even send the black hair dude in? can't he just get the data himself? his ability that is he can foresee everything that happens inside a photo within 12 hours of it being taken. it's different. he can see what happens, not the data. My second question is how do the clients know they have these abilities? and how is no one trying to capture them if they do know? i mean it's pretty scary for people to know that someone can time travel and get valuable data i would think people working for the government would intervene. the clients don't know that they have superpowers, they don't know any of the details of how they work. they just know that they can fulfill their requests.i hope this helps. also maybe you should keep watching before asking questions, many questions are answered later in the story and if you have any confusion you'll understand as you keep watching. |

| Wow... this one episode hit harder than most anime series can ever hope to. I'm sure a lot of people can connect with the story portrayed here this episode - young adult from small town works hard to endure the struggles working in the big city with parents constantly worrying about her. If this is a sign of things to come, I'm in for a treat. |
| That ending sene leading up to the ending theme was really good and that ending theme slaps |
 |
| God damn it, why it had to end like that T_T |
 |
| My first Donghua... Very satisfied with this episode. |
| OMG! My mind was totally somewhere else. I was thinking that blonde dude in the cap that offered her a ride was going to be her new boyfriend, and things were going to start looking up for Emma. I was not expecting a "suicide." Could this turn of events have been the black-haired dude's fault? He did something unnecessary when he responded to Emma's mother's text message. |

| Woah watching this series with my friends and really got blown away by the quality and plottwist of the first ep! Loved the music also loved the emotional aspects. Also wow really related to the family of the secretary, that is soooo freaking sad. Gotta hold off for two weeks now before our next watch sesh! Ahhh can't wait! |
| Excellent first episode for a non-Japanese anime which I personally don't used to. Mentioning the character and animation designs which doesn't intent up to leave the manhua/manhwa styles nowdays. Speaking about the concepts, this animation series' hits and reminds me to Life is Strange 1st game which involving photos and missions for changing the future. Yet I also catch the thick foreshadowing vibes which previously showed in Pet (2020) o_o Seems like this anime gonna be good rollercoaster show I'm looking forward rn. |

| I came to watch this series because of all the hype on Youtube about it "best anime of 2021" etc. Here's my impression: It's evident that a lot of work went into the animation. The fluidity of the animation is quite good at times. Character designs are not bad, but not particularly great either. Voice acting, it's hard to say. Chinese Mandarin is a lot different from Japanese, so it's hard to make a rational judgement here. I'd say it seemed average to me. Music was nothing special. Nothing about it moved me emotionally. Story was a bit too much of a stretch to keep the suspension of disbelief intact. The rest was a matter of Chinese culture. They acted like a bunch of conceited babies. Not impressed there at all. In summation, there is nothing about this show that would make me want to watch further. I will say that it's a good effort on the part of the Chinese. The form is pretty good. But they have a ways to go on substance. |
| Me the whole episode: "This is Nice" Me in the end: "FVCK NO" surprised Pikachu face* |

| wow i really didnt expect that ending, i thought the end where she bumped into the guy was going to be some cliche new romance for her or something but then i got sketchy vibes out of it when he offered to drive her and what do you know?? she dies! i love the animation and the music in this, the ending song is definitely being added to my playlist (if it's even on spotify lol) also loved the dancing animation in the opening |

"They acted like a bunch of conceited babies" - Do you simply just lack of sympathy to understand the motive and action of the characters? |

| The ending of this first episode really felt like it was forcing tragedy to get tears from the audience. Cheng changed the future of that woman by texting her parents and the result of that is she dies? It is so extreme and feels like emotional manipulation to me. Not feeling the animation either, perhaps will get used to it but just feels like an animated webtoon. |

Oh I'm going to follow the 3 episode rule and not drop it right away but I haven't been hooked which is a shame given the insane praise this show is getting. Is that spoiler tag from future episodes? Or clarifying something from this episode? |
