This is a companion drama to A Love So Beautiful which was also the reason why I watched this drama. ALSB and PYHOMS share the same author and both were adapted from novels. I was curious on how this plays out which started and revolved around their college life.
STORY:
The story starts with Si Tu Mo (Fair Xing) is in a dilemma as to how to live her life after graduation as she crosses paths with Gu Wei Yi (Lin Yi) who is an indifferent, serious, physics major trying to get on with his studies. They meet when STM's mother suggested for her to rent an apartment being owned by her bestfriend not knowing that GWY is the son of that bestfriend. They then start their cohabitation when they found out that they were room mates. Fu Pei (Daddi Tang) is added to the mix as STM's unrequited love who leaves her hanging and gives her hope by treating her well as a friend. Just when STM finally realizes to let go of that love, FP then goes and disrupts her life. I don't entirely know if it's due to possession and the fact that she doesn't see him in the light anymore or he really does like her. I believe that he really does like her but for me that is too late. It is quite pathetic how he goes after her after everything she endured when STM hoped he would like her that way but I guess that's how love works. You'll never know what you've got til it's gone. STM and GWY had chemistry that's for sure and ALSB is a bit lighter in terms of story than PYHOMS. The parents were supportive which I really liked. I didn't like unecessary additions to the plot where the mothers were constantly not liking their son's/daughter's partners because that would've been too cliché. The Germany part of the story is more of a filler to turn their relationship around and errr the kiss scenes are sometimes awkward so I don't know how to feel about that but all in all I'm glad they wrapped it up with them having their own family while still living in the apartment where they met.
ACTING/CAST:
I really don't have anything bad to say with the cast since they had the chemistry needed for the story. The chemistry was there but the kiss scenes were awkward that was all I have to say
MUSIC:
Music is a big factor for me but unfortunately, this drama's OST didn't stick at all.
REWATCH VALUE:
Maybe I'll re-watch this if I don't have anything to watch. Maybe I'll watch this and just play this in the background for fun.
