I just can't praise the ebb of time in this show enough. Fang Wei De states at one point how time passed more quickly when everyone was having a good time, and that certainly felt tangible in this show. Too often it feels that dramas take place over the course of days or weeks. 16 summers in 16 episodes feels so appropriate, and I feel is one of the best examples of demonstrating the passage of time. Even if some things were arguably predictable, it didn't take away from the story, because of the realistic way it played out. This series takes a story that has been done many times in dramas, but isn't afraid to go all out with it, it packs so many feels that you barely have time to catch your breath. There is such depth and nuance that it is hard to put into words without spoilers. If ever there was a realistic drama, I feel this would be a great example. Where to begin with such a thoroughly thought out and beautiful story. The last episode is arguably the best ending to ANY Asian drama I've ever seen despite the bittersweet feel it had. I have to say right off the bat that this is hands down one of the best Taiwanese Dramas I have ever watched. I feel those people are really losing out on watching a really great drama, but of course that's up to them, it's just a shame. I'm going to assume that viewers who are saying that haven't watched more than the first few episodes and feel that because there is a group of characters the story follows over the years that makes them too similar. ![]() This review may contain spoilers EDIT: This is NOT a rip off or the same thing as "In A Good Way".
