_A Masterpiece!_ _Summary: Alice is truly a major work of art._ I tend to be very skeptical about time-travel narratives, but the writers of _Alice_ managed it exceptionally well across 16 episodes. They grounded the story in current scientific concepts and theories, relying less on purely artistic license. The handling of the grandfather paradox was also impressive. Did the series contain any inconsistencies regarding its time travel? Initially, it might seem that way, but after watching the entire show, I don’t believe there were any. Many viewers may assume the final episode presented numerous plot holes, however, based on the scientific principles and theories employed by the series, I think they executed it flawlessly. The performances from everyone involved were outstanding. They captured everything from comedic moments to serious scenes, explored a love triangle and familial affection, and seamlessly transitioned between future, past, and present timelines. I don’t know how the filming was organized—whether all of the historical segments were shot first, or if it was mixed up—but everything felt perfectly cohesive. The background music was precisely where it needed to be, when it needed to be there: not too early, not overly extended, and certainly not misplaced. It wasn’t used to manipulate emotions; instead, it served as an additional layer enriching the already intricate dynamics of the show. This is the most crucial aspect. The story is profoundly deep and prompts considerable thought. At its core, it's a love story centered on a mother and her son. It also explores the bond between a son and someone who bears a striking resemblance to his mother. There’s a narrative about a child who was adopted and raised by another family. It portrays friendship as well as time travel and its ethical implications. Successfully integrating all these diverse storylines into one cohesive narrative within a 16-episode series is no small feat; it's something more commonly achieved in novels or comics. However, the writers of _Alice_ and the director were able to accomplish this. The story began with love and concluded with love. Time has no beginning and no end but people do.
