'The Ministry of Time' is a time travel, sci fi melodrama.
The story has a strong start and a strong ending. It was dramatic, and emotional, and the main theme was interesting and original.
On the other hand, I didn't like the way the story was narrated. It was messy and I often lost track of where we were on the timeline (or was this on propose?). That deprived me of connecting with the characters and the story (romance) as we jumped from one event to another, from one month to another.
