I found my way to this show by flipping through Netflix desperate for something to watch.
I committed myself to watch all of the episodes (Netflix has this for 34). It seemed a bit long to me but I wanted to hang in there. I wanted to play detective and find out who his father and what happened to Chen Che's mom just as bad as he did.
I am sorry to say that I failed in my quest. At about episode 20, I gave up. I couldn't pull myself to continue to watch this show. So I cheated and watched the last episode. It really didn't reveal much. The mom looks happier and she got her happy ending with her first love. Chen Che at first I though his love died but only to see at the end she miraculously appears in 2016. Part of me wanted to know what the hell? I thought because it was time travel there would be no way they would end up together.
Their relationship seemed a bit weird to me because that was his mom's best friend and practically god mother type relationship. Never mind the twenty year difference in age. I wasn't really buying this relationship and although at times I do like happy endings this was one of those times that I wanted to see them fail. Horrible of me right? I guess I wasn't in a happily ever after mood at that point.
Anyway....being that I went straight to the end without watching in between...I still do not know who his father is (although I have a guess). By reading some of the earlier reviews I think I have an idea of how she got pregnant but not 100%. Although I want to know....I have no motivation to go back and watch the episodes I skipped.
Acting wise....they were ok. Nothing to write home about. I wasn't really invested in any of the characters. Chen Che was ok but way too stiff for my likening. The Guitar 5 (or whatever they called themselves) was not a group that I think I would like to hang out with.
Music: I liked the intro song...it was nice and sounded like an oldie but goodie.
Not worth watching the first time let alone a 2nd. Just my opinion.
So I guess the fat lady has sung for this drama for me.
