I was drawn to this because the female lead was one of my favorite actors in “Love Now.” Her acting was great and so was the male lead. The story was pretty good. Even though it had amnesia it wasn’t thrown in as filler halfway through the drama to keep it going. The female lead’s amnesia was the central plot to the drama so I was okay with the amnesia plot even though it’s been used way too much in dramas lately.
I loved the side characters, especially the swim teams. They had me cracking up all of the time. For most of this drama it’s light and sweet and the villains attempts to cause problems are very mild. The comedy takes central stage along with the romance.
But as with most Taiwanese dramas lately, it starts out as a light sweet romcom then turns into a melodrama for the last third of the drama. The angst sets in and it just gets more and more melodramatic until halfway through the last episode. I don’t mind the melodrama or angst, just label the drama correctly. Don’t label it as a romantic comedy then change it into a melodrama towards the end.
Other than that, I liked the drama. I would have rated it higher if it had stayed true to its genre as a romcom. There were multiple couples but there was no second lead syndrome here. The second male lead was nice but a little goofy. Most of the couples were high schoolers on the swim team so their romances were cute but not swoon worthy. Overall I liked the drama but I wouldn’t watch it again.
