Sorry, I cannot remember the exact details since this was a drama I dropped and that I have watched half a year ago but I think the mother dies and the other characters were not that happy either, the ending was not satisfying, something like that.

There are other taiwanese dramas with similar stories and work enviornment yet, usually they are too long, have too many supporting characters stealing screen time, have a lot of clichés and the characters are a lot of the times one dimensional. NOT THIS ONE.

This is 16 episodes long which I think was a smart choice as making it longer could make it seem draggy. There are no evil characters or typical clichés (well, maybe some, there are always some, but not too many), the characters and story are pretty realistic compared to similar dramas and I especially liked the male lead’s character. They made him be a certain way while he was in high school and then made him more mature and responsible as an adult, but still kept his personality and we could see it was still the same person from 10 years back, which made him as a character very realistic. As we become adults we all mature a little and become more responsible (or at least some of us do) but we are still a version on the person we were when we were 15.

That said, I really enjoyed this drama. It is not amazing or one of my favourites but it is definitely one of the better ones I have watched coming from Taiwan and I will definitely remember it.

Cool. Just have to wait 3 more days. ^^

It is not as heavy as it might seem, but it is not that light either. It starts on a sad and tragic note since like the synopsis says - both main leads lose their spouses. But then it gets a little less more dramatic and has plently of romantic and even funny scenes. Later it takes a turn again but I cant say much since you said no spoilers. It is overall a serious drama but not a tragic one, well, not as much as some chinese dramas I have watched.

Exactly. I was really liking the first half or so and all seemed so good, but I wondered how they would keep the story going for like 20 more episodes. I did not like the way they stretched the story. It was overused and frustrating and not realistic at all...and it got my blood boiling.

I was able to finish it because I started watching it while it was still airing and was over episode 20 when they were subbing the last episodes. If I had given it a try later and tried to binge watch it, I would have dropped it. The first half or so was pretty interesting but then they added a lot of frustrating things that are so overused and that made it hard to keep watching. Also, the writers are kind of cruel, there was not a single character in this that did not suffer.

The way it ended was not really satisfying and it was nothing new but at least they redeemed themselves a little since I was seeing it going in a direction I did not like, and although they did not change the path completely, the result was a little different from what expected and less unfortunate.

Yeah, I found it in this site called flixable dot com. But I am not sure if it will be available in my country, hope so.

I read about it somewhere else but is it confirmed? What is your source?

The back and forth made all of their feelings seem shallow and surprisingly, the one character I thought would be the shallowest with the way he was introduced and with his flirtyness, was actually the one who ended up having the most genuine feelings and being the most honest once he figured them out. I know the characters are teenagers but still, it gets tiring. If this was longer I might have dropped it.

For me this was touchingly boring. I have seen other dramas with similar stories that were able to pull me in, make me laugh, make me cry, make me feel angry at the characters actions, but this one just felt like a pain to watch. I really could not get into the story, much less the romance between the leads. I had it on hold for a long time before I decided to start watching it because from the trailer I could already feel I would not like it that much, I was right.

I mean, maybe you will like it, it just wasn’t the case for me.

You’re welcome. If you want a cute story, there are still a lot of jdramas and jmovies that have it, just be sure to skim through the comments and check the tags so you won’t have any bad surprises.

I know, right? I like chinese dramas but I cannot like them as much as kdramas because they are just too draggy, with too many characters and some stories seem like they are going around in circles. Of course there are exceptions and I have some chinese dramas in my top list of dramas, but in general this is what happens, sadly. And I also watched all out of love but had to skip around a lot, it was very draggy.

Nope. And the mind reading thing was not explored well either. Another drama that suffered from good idea/bad execution. It reminds me of the cooking show Master Chef, some contestants have pretty good ideas for dishes but then the execution does not go well and they end up presenting a dish that is awful.

This was not a disappointment, but just because I already had low expectations when I started watching it. It was lacking in many aspects, including the exploration of the mind reading thing, the characters personalities, feelings and actions, the story itself. Of course I have seen worse, but this one is really far from the better ones I have watched. I gave it a 5 and that is already a pretty good rating because it is labeled as "It’s okay" and honestly I am not even sure if it is.

With a different cast and as many episodes as season 1 and 2 together, this is almost a story on its own and someone who did not watch the first 2 seasons will basically just miss the main female lead’s story before she moved in with the Hans, because they recycled a lot of the clichés they used in the first 2 seasons. I still liked it but I did skip a lot of scenes and I would honestly not re-watch it.

I watched it raw. I did not want to wait for subs and my understanding of japanese is good enough that I could understand most of what was happening. I watched it in the openload link someone posted in one of the comments below.

I liked it and disliked it at the same time. I will try to explain why I felt this way without giving spoilers.

I understand that when you have a 46 episodes long drama that starts with the main leads already loving each other and being in a relationship and with 2 previous seasons to back their story, you have to come up with all kinds of plot devices to keep the story going...but I felt that it only made the story as a all lose its value. They added all kinds of frustrating cliché "events" and cliché characters. At the end you are left with the feeling that the story went around in circles just to get not much ahead of where it was in the first episode.

The ending was not satisfying and both the writing and acting (at times) gave an amateur vibe and made me feel like maybe I’m too old to enjoy this (I’m 25) and that the target public are teenagers.

That said, I did enjoy some parts of it so I cannot say I completely disliked it. Also, I have watched the other 2 seasons a few years ago but I think I liked the actors chosen to play the main leads here better.

I completely understand. This comment was posted 2 years ago, meanwhile I learned to deal with chinese dramas tragic ending by imagining the ending the way I want or try to see it in a positive light.

I did watch all the episodes, I set it as dropped with 30 episodes because that was around where I gave up and skimmed through the other episodes. Even tho it had more romance it was still not even near to what I was expecting and from what I remember (I watched it 4 months ago so I am not sure) the female lead dies at the end.

There seems to be a second season coming up so maybe I will give it a try once it airs.

There are a lot of sad events and some people die as expected in this kind of drama but if by happy ending you mean the main leads are alive and together at the end, then yes, it is a happy ending.
