I really wanted to give it a higher score but...

I'm totally a fan of Jerry Yan but this story/drama will not be added to my favorite dramas list unfortunately... I have enjoyed watching the drama but very impatiently...the story is draggy and it jumps from one point to another very quickly without good transition...in other words, it will keep you guessing whether you will get the answers for those built-up questions throughout the entire drama...eventually, it will lead you to some sort of disappointments...

For one, there are cute/sexy/somewhat steamy kisses/scenes...but each one of those scenes seems to end very quickly...somehow, they are not memorable scenes that would make me want to rewatch...I am disappointed in those bed/romantic scenes because they are not long/steamy enough??

For two, the FL will disappear or the ML will be gone for a few days and nowhere to be found...it's just weird to me that they both can be gone for days and then would ask what happens to each other later...just not realistic the way the relationship was going... I am so confused in how the FLwould just disappear without saying anything...something is off in how the story moves from one point to another without a clear connection.

Lastly, oh my god...it's such a drag in the end!! The love story about the FL mother was not very fun to watch...not much chemistry there, got boring... And the last few episodes about the FL being back to college life, living in a dorm with roommates...oh no....what is going on here?? The drama started with a very mature lifestyle even though FL was a young 20 years old...Wow, but watching her with roommates?? She indeed was a young kid with a 35 year-old man!! The ML went to her dorm to pick her up!! I am not sure how much I enjoy watching the FL back to school...

All in all, it is a cute drama and sad too.....you will get some tears but totally not something I would miss or want to rewatch in the near future...
