Ahh, finally, a satisfying ending before the year ends!
Young & old leads were amazing but I’d just like to acknowledge how awesome Taro, Yae’s coworker, was! He had some of the best lines and scenes — great character.
I repeated countless times the scene where Yijin woke up with tears in his eyes from dreaming about him & Hee Do hugging & smiling at the beach. The anguish, longing, and heartbreak were palpable.
Yu-Rim & Ji-Woong getting engaged… A possible romance between Seung Wan & Yijin’s younger brother…
To be completely honest, and I know this will sound heartless, but on ep16, I couldn’t care less what happens to these side characters. I didn’t feel the slightest bit of happiness when they got their own happy ending. I felt their endings were a consolation for the painful one of Heedo & Yijin’s.
Trust me, 36 eps will go by in a blink, and by the end of it you'll be wanting more 💕
Ahhh I’m the opposite — I’m SO glad that ended it like that. It wasn’t pleasant seeing Shiyi hurt over & over again. And that admiration for 2ML dragged on too long.
But on second thought, it would’ve been unique & more impactful if they did follow the book’s ending.
Can’t deny Jun-pyo's charm, Tsukasa & Makino's chemistry, and Dylan Wang's charisma, but......... Meteor Garden 2001 (Taiwanese version) will ALWAYS be iconic & my favorite.
Growing up in the Philippines in the early 2000s, this drama was dubbed as the "Asianovela that started it all". Still listening to its soundtrack almost 2 decades later. Love it that much!

Aghhh I'm really glad you liked it!
Same sentiments with the ending -- yeah it was fairytale-like but they could've done better if there were 1-2 episodes more of them as a couple. I mean, majority of the drama they were chasing people who chased someone else! Pretty sure they deserved 1-2 eps as a couple officially.
But tbh, I'm happy the show ended it like it did because I read that in the book it was an open ending -- it ended with Shiyi going abroad and Xiaoju Xia watching the plane fly.
I sure do hope he’ll sing! That’d be amazing 😻
Aghhh I’m so excited
As for Tae Sung, I’d like to believe he had his happy ending too — becoming a cop and ‘forgetting’ his feelings for Sol.
I cannot wait to see Byeon Woo Seok in Singapore next month! 😭♥️

Life does happen but I just wish they stayed in each other’s lives at least.
Yes he became a successful reporter but those 2009 eyes couldn’t lie — he wasn’t fulfilled and he still longed for Hee Do.
The anguish, longing, and heartbreak were palpable.
Can’t believe this is the same NJH in Start Up!

A break-up scene nowadays rarely gets done right but theirs is probably one of the best sequence I’ve ever watched.
Although I wish it never happened 💔
“They have everything in the end, but not each other.”
Anything for Shiyi. I think I’m in love with him

Hope we get a new drama with the same feels again😭

Actors were great, especially Mengmeng's mother. Her scenes were intense & she freaking delivered. My heart ached & broke for her 😔
