Synopsis:This heartbreaking, truly cruel, tear jerking, bittersweet drama is a definite MUST WATCH! It's about a young girl named Zhao Shen Shen and Qi Wei Yi. One day, after experiencing a bus crash, Shen Shen's close friend Zuo Jun rushes her to the hospital to discover that due to her shock, she has temporarily become mute. During her stay, she meets Wei Yi, and they become close friends. Wei Yi, thinking that Shen Shen doesn't like to talk because she has a funny Korean accent, decides that they will communicate through letters. He tells her he's a Maritan and also tells her about Lucky Star. Then one day, while her mom is coming to deliver her lunch, she meets an accident and dies. Shen Shen is left alone and the only one to understand her is Wei Yi. However, soon after, Wei Yi has to be transferred and he only leaves her his number..and a promise. They promise to come back to the same place in Christmas of 2006 and meet once again. Because Shen Shen misplaces the number, she is unable to find it and never gets to contact Wei Yi. Thirteen years pass and she is still mute, while also living with Zuo Jun and his father. Due to a twist of fate, Wei Yi and Shen Shen meet, but they are unsure of each other's identity. They become close, but Wei Yi finds out that he has liver cancer and has less than 3 months to live. Because of the 2 people coming between them, Wei Yi's ex finacee and Zuo Jun, Wei Yi decides to distance himself from Shen Shen and not tell her anything. However, saying this is much easier than actually doing. Wei Yi and Shen Shen go through more heartbreaking yet sweet moments until they have to say farewell yet once again...But this time, it may be for a longer time than they had hoped for....

Music:The music was very nicely and carefully picked. The songs were also used in correct scenes, and I personally thought it couldn't be better. Although the song Wei Yi & Shen Shen listened to was a bit corny, I found it kind of sweet. haha xD

Characters/Acting: The acting and the characters were TRULY AMAZING!! This drama couldn't have had better actors/actresses. Park Eun Hye portrayed the innocent and mute girl Zhao Shen Shen very well and Vic Zhao was amazing in acting a spoiled rich guy [Qi Wei Yi] on the outside but a sweet innocent guy on the inside who could not forget the girl from his past, but who was also being threatened by his future.

Overall: 5 stars. It's a perfect drama if you feel like crying. It is also very inspiring and teaches a lot about the value of life and lifelong friendships/love.

I really enjoyed this series. Each episode kept me jumping out of my seat and wanting more. Each episode was also filled with love, jealously and sadness. It was very touching, but extremely heartbreaking, as well. It teaches very much the importance of life and love. Also, it shows that you never know how lucky you are to be alive, until your time is almost up. I believe any drama fan would enjoy this as much as I did. If you ever decide to watch it, PM me!~ I'd love to hear what you have to say ^_^


Note: This synopsis is summarized by me, please do not copy it. Thank-you :]

Story: A very interesting story of a childhood love that is rekindled. Shen Shen loses her voice after a bus accident; while at the hospital she meets Qi Wei Yi a boy who’s leg got broke by jealous classmates. Qi Wei Yi never found out she was mute, thinking she was Korean and wanted to hide the bad accent. They leave each other letters and to promise to come back in the Christmas of 2006. Years pass and in the year of 2006 they met again but are unaware of who each other is.
There's alot more but I don't want to spoil it.
Acting: Very good, but in the beginning of the drama Shen Shen seemed REALLY innocent, like a child.
Music: A bit cheesy, I liked the theme song but the song that Shen Shen and Qi Wei Yi listened together wasn't that great...
Overall: Pretty good, not a must watch but it was worth it (if you like taiwanese dramas).
