Spoiler-Free Mini Review:

This has NO relation to the Sandra Bullock film-- it's not an adaptation, remake, inspired by-- nothing!

But it is an intriguing mystery, with more twist and turns than the cinnamon twists at taco bell. Everytime I thought the plot was slowing down, we turn a corner and bam! Another loop!

If only they could get Jon Cena in this Gif. Instead there is no one. (If you don't get this joke, what cave have you been hiding in and do you have room for me?)

The acting wasn't phenomenal as most of these actors were still in the early days of their career, but since While You Were Sleeping aired, all involved have grown in the profession. It didn't distract from the drama since the characters were on the younger end so it fit the bill in a way.
