TDrama to Miss: When I See You Again (2015)

When I See You Again (2015)

Grade: C+
32 episodes, 45 minutes each
Platform: Netflix

Successful businessman Xia You-qian runs into his former high school crush, An Xi, while visiting small Pulang village. An Xi of course doesn't recognize You-qian, since he's completely transformed from an awkward, ugly teenager into a handsome, suave adult. She's also too concerned with saving her bed and breakfast from being sold off to her creditor/suitor to notice. Ever since her father died, An Xi has been dutifully running the homestay in hopes her long-lost mother would return. You-qian decides to have some fun/revenge at An Xi's expense, but what happens when real feelings start to develop between the unlikely pair? Will An Xi figure out You-qian's identity? How does You-qian's business rival factor into things? And what happens when An Xi's long-lost mother is discovered?


*This show has some pretty cute actors, but it is SO SLOW! I lost interest at least three or four times, and when you have to force yourself to finish a show, that is not good writing. Oddly, I found the antagonist the most intriguing character, and how the writing showed his love interest as not really seeing the bad in him. The mother (spoiler alert) had a change of heart far too quickly, especially compared to the scene where she was highly emotional and it was the best time for a change of heart until she denied it. The film quality is decent though, and like I said, some of the actors are attractive, so if you're in the mood to watch something very SLOW, this isn't terrible.*
