Got lost in life, I was attracted by the title of the play. Will your life be happier when you start over? If you do it all over again, can you change the bad things? In the first episode, I felt the content was very dull, and many daily conversations. Hopefully, I get over it! After seeing a lot of echoes in the following episodes. I am more and more fascinated, and more often I will focus on the words and sentences, and imagine the corresponding plots. In the first few rounds of life, the protagonist herself was the "time traveler". But in the fourth round, a friend who is also a "time traveler" appeared, and she lived one more round. Makes the episode even more exciting! I especially like to watch children acting. The body of a child has the eyes and soul of an adult. The casting is really good! After watching these episodes, I feel we should cherish the present more, and don't be afraid of things that haven't happened in the future. As long as we take every step firmly in front of us, we can be satisfied at the "service desk" in the end.

If I could live again, I wouldn't care about making more money or being more successful, I would just want my four best friends to live happily ever after. All four of them, no one left behind! The witty jokes that come from the little things in life and the high-intensity twists and turns that begins in episode eight, are all very typical of Japanese dramas. I found myself laughing so hard that I started crying, and crying so hard that I started laughing again. It was so beautiful and the best Japanese drama I have watched in a few years. In addition, this drama has a special significance to me personally because my college years were spent immersed in Japanese dramas. When "Konayuki", ORANGE RANGE, and Greeeen's music playing in the background, it was like my youth was suddenly brought back to life before my eyes. I even burst into tears at the first note of "secret base."

Thought this will be a very dark and heavy series or why would you restart your life? Turns out it's a heartwarming one. There were tons of daily small conversations when the good friends get together, but it wasn't tiring. Japanese are super great at reading 'the air' even when they are children which is impressed !! If I could have another chance, I would definitely try harder but not for money or reputation, just want to work it harder for myself and hope could escape from those harms from other people that always wake me up through nightmares. If I could do this, I think I will have the ability to do a little help for my love families and friends live happily and healthy forever.

Another time travel TV drama, but believe me, it's totally different from those exciting and bloody ordinary time-travel dramas. Instead, it uses many tiny and trivial things to connect the daily life. As far as I know, the screenwriter "Stupid Rhythm" is good at using nonsensical and relaxed dialogues like office gossip to tell the ordinary thing in an interesting way. There are a few scenes that I can't help myself laugh out e.g. Asami would become a giant anteater, and her friend would turn out to be an Ant, and next Asami asks which person to reincarnate in the picture but indeed the picture is for reference. All these types of dialogues can demonstrate that the writer is very precise in grasping the fun throughout some lengthy and gossiping interactions. It isn't easy! Just like Hong Kong Stephen Chow's classic "nonsensical" and by using that "nonsensical" to bring out a deeper meaning at life. I particularly like the child version of Asami, her performance is very cute and yet mature.
