Nice Drama for Self Empowerment, I think

Hmmm, it started nicely, or perfectly I might say. It's one drama that anyone can easily relate to, not that fairy tale story that's possible to happen to any normal being once in a blue moon.
I liked how the female lead developed through time, not just in appearance, knowledge, social skills.. you won't notice that much it as you watch since she progressed bit by bit. But as you think back on the previous episodes while you're watching episode 30+, then you'd realize how she had improved herself. Though it was weird that supporting characters had the same hairstyle for 10 years haha
The production and story was well distributed across the 10 year storyline (except the end), the development of friendship, their issues with one another and the emotions/feelings of the characters was well portrayed.
But downside was for the last few episodes, while I was already on the 38th episode, I kept on thinking how can they fit the rest of the story for only 4 episodes? It's the 38th episode and the two leads have yet to admit their feelings and be in an OFFICIAL relationship. So you get less than 2 episodes of them being a couple, which some might say would be enough since their story started when they were friends and "love" could not be gauged with the number of days a couple has been together, or that their memories together is worth more than counting the days of a labelled relationship. But it just feels like something's missing. Also with the sudden turn of relationship of WeiWei and YeHui... (one day he despises the idea of being a couple with WeiWei, then one day he loves her so much already) just felt superficial for some reason.
But all in all, I don't regret spending more than 40hours on this drama. It's decent and the fact that it made me cry a few times, it deserves positive feedback :D
