When you know their love story will be never ending!
I reeeeeally enjoyed Never Ending Summer! It had so many emotional and genuinely sad moments, and the yearning from the MMC was SO good — he really had me feeling all the feelings. His eyes could say sooo much even without dialogue. I can’t tell you the amount of heart flutters I had each time Lu Xi Xiao cradled her head!
I honestly hated seeing everything they had to go through before finally getting their happy ending. There were so many hardships and moments where I just wanted to scream, “Can’t they catch a break?!” Zhou Wan was a standout lead, she powered so many great scenes and when she cried, I wanted to cry too.
The love rival was flipping irritating in places, I don’t know why we always need a love rival, although let’s be real… he never stood a chance against the FL’s true love, anyway! I felt bad for Jiang Yan; he was in an unpleasant life situation, and you could see his fondness, but as with all second MLs, he didn’t know when to bow out gracefully.
I’m also a fan of both lead actors, and I thought they gave such great, convincing performances. They really sold the emotions and made the romance feel believable. Oh, the longing was real, folks! And so was the angst.
Not a fan of time jumps, like at all, I always feel like we miss so much story of the in between, but I understood it was needed to get the couple to the next part of their lives.
So many episodes, this show got me in my feelings. That dancing alone scene, gah! I was a sobbing mess.
If I had to criticize anything, I never took to the second couple. They felt too immature from the school days into adulthood. I would have given screen time to Jiang Yan finding a new love interest over them.
Overall, such a great watch.
Aesthetically pleasing to the eye and wonderful acting.
I’d beg on my rickety knees to see the leads in another modern drama together.
