I love Sayako, it's been a while since I've been able to relate so much to a drama heroine.

I hate it when the synopsis are so misleading. She did not repeatedly fail her entrance exams. She had an accident on her way to the exam and broke both arms and she was healed she didn't go to retake the exam because she heard her father crying that he didn't have tuition money. The synopsis makes her sound like an incompetent student but she was just unlucky and poor.

Heartbreaking ending. Lin Fang Lu is despicable, especially after confessing his own mom was abused by his dad.

I agree.

The acting is really good in my book, I love all the actors so far. The production value is unfortunately quite poor due directing and editing. However, I'm going to try to focus on the actors because their chemistry is good, both main and secondary couple look very promising.

I actually like remakes because if I love the story, I want to watching it again in original form or with new actors and setting. Of course the OGs are usually still my no. 1 but there's enough room in my heart for the adaptations too. You always have the option to opt out of watching the remakes. I personally wouldn't want to miss out on them.

I remember my first crush well and I still think about them every now and then very fondly. It's not that I haven't got over them, it's that they hold a very special place in my heart and that will never go away because it's one of my most cherished memories.

I really love this series. It's so understated but so powerful for me, when the episode end, I always want more. I guess I'm in the minority here but I enjoyed this flashback episode.

I don't think it's the actors' fault. These specials are pretty badly written and filmed and won't favor any actors. The scenes are terribly disjointed, the editing is not good.

Taiwanese series lean heavily on fan-service and cutesie moments which I don't mind, it's actually why I watch these, but I wish they also paid more attention to cinematography and tried more to add artistic value. The writing is too silly, the plots are often immature and non-nonsensical, the dialogues sound artificial and superficial most of the time. Maybe this can be considered a style choice but it doesn't gel with my preference.

They are cute together and they have wonderful chemistry. But I wish the writing was better and natural. I enjoy fluffy and sweet but the plot needs to be better. Oftentimes everything feels so artificial, it really takes me out of the story, it's like screaming, this is just a silly little series, we don't need anything to seem natural or real. Anyways, it was good to see them again.

What happened to the chemistry between them? It vanished. The writers are coming up with these weird non-nonsensical plots for these specials. I want to see them happy but can it be in a more natural environment? The scenes are so disjointed from one another and the dialogue is painful. But I guess they're still kinda cute together.

Yeei! Thanks for sharing spreading the love.

I second all of the above, I can understand the sentiment of not liking a popular series but not the constant shit posting and attacking the people that enjoyed this. Like what is the end game here other than just showing they're bitter at other people's enjoyment?

Maybe it's a masterpiece for those who loved it, and they're not just a few people. Sorry, but you don't get to dictate what rom-com should be like for everybody else.

Yeah, it sucks that you didn't enjoy and you couldn't really participate in the hype, unfortunately most people did and I don't see how taking personally their enjoyment is going to help you. It's fine to be critical of a series you didn't like but being frustrated at other people because they enjoyed it is pointless. Especially when it's a series as innocuous at this.

So lovely!

Yaaaas!

I agree, will all of the above, I was thinking the same.

Yes, this kind of pain is cathartic. Thank you for your work on this!

This FMV broke my heart all over again 😭😭😭, such a sad and beautiful edit. I love this song and The Killers, in general.

Yes, it's a completely unrealistic scenario. But I still like it anyways :))).
