Xiao Yu Liang brought a special kind of depth to When We Meet, making his character one of the highlights of the drama. His portrayal was full of charm, making his scenes stand out, whether he was showing a more serious side or letting moments of vulnerability shine through. I found his natural presence on screen very engaging.

His chemistry with the female lead was undeniable, and their interactions made the romance feel real and grounded. Xiao Yu Liang's ability to balance humor and emotion in his role was particularly impressive, and it made the lighter moments of the show all the more enjoyable. Even in a familiar romantic comedy setup, his nuanced performance added something unique.

Acting
I found the acting in When We Meet to be one of its strongest aspects. Xiao Yu Liang really impressed me with his portrayal, bringing both depth and warmth to his character. Zhao Dong Ze also shone with his dual roles as Lu Ming and Deng Yu, and the female lead delivered a heartfelt performance, making her character easy to connect with. The supporting cast was solid too, contributing to both the comedic and emotional moments.

Cast
The casting choices were spot on, with Xiao Yu Liang standing out for his versatility and charm. Zhao Dong Ze was a standout in his own right, bringing depth to his characters, and the chemistry between him and the female lead made their romantic scenes enjoyable. The supporting characters enhanced the story without overshadowing the main plot, which I appreciated.

Music
The music in When We Meet was another positive aspect. The opening and ending theme songs were catchy and perfectly complemented the tone of the drama. I particularly liked how the background score was used to enhance emotional moments without being intrusive. It set the right mood and helped immerse me in the experience.

Rewatch Value
For me, this drama definitely has rewatch value. It’s easy to go back to, especially if I want to relax and enjoy a sweet romance. The lighthearted tone, the engaging chemistry between the leads, and Xiao Yu Liang’s standout performance make it a fun series to revisit. Plus, the short episodes make it perfect for a second or third binge.

What’s Bad
Predictable Plot: While I enjoyed the drama, I did find the plot to be a bit predictable. It follows familiar romantic tropes, which I didn’t mind, but it could have been more unique.
Pacing Issues: At times, the pacing dragged, especially when the secondary plots took more screen time than necessary, slowing down the story and feeling repetitive.
Lack of Depth: The drama focuses more on lighthearted moments than deep emotional arcs, which might leave some viewers wanting more from the character development.
What’s Not Really Good
Limited Character Growth: While I liked the characters, their growth throughout the series didn’t feel as strong as I had hoped. It would have been nice to see more depth in their evolution.
Side Characters’ Arcs: Some side characters’ storylines didn’t feel fully developed or were left unresolved, leaving me wishing for more closure.
