THE SHORT VERDICT:
Show might look like a typical high school story on the surface, but in reality, this works out to be a love story, and a pretty epic one, at that.
Less about time travel than its premise might suggest, Show is more about growing up, and learning to love both yourself and others.
And the epicness of the love story creeps up on you in the best way, so that one day, you’re just gobsmacked by how stirring that love story is, even though you didn’t see it coming.
Our leads Karlina Zhang and Qu Chu Xiao both do very well in their roles, but I have to confess that it was Qu Chu Xiao’s turn as shy steadfast boy Zhang Wansen, that really stole my heart in a big way.
More worthwhile than it might first appear.
