I came for the grief storyline and stayed for the gentle, healing romance. Andy Ko and Joe Tsai have such soft chemistry—every glance feels like a hug. Yes, the episodes are short, but that made each moment hit harder. The second couple dragged a bit, but the main pair’s arc melted my heart.

The emotional premise is solid, but the execution never fully grabbed me. 59 ultra-short episodes meant constant jump cuts and reused clichés, and the secondary couple stole too much screen time for such a short series. I wanted more depth from the main leads. It’s okay if you’re in the mood for something light and sad, but don’t expect a cohesive narrative.

The vertical filming actually works beautifully for intimate close-ups—you really feel Xiao An’s isolation and the gradual warmth of his new connection. The lighting and soft color palette enhance the melancholic tone. Plot-wise, it’s simple, but visually it’s a lovely little gem in the web drama space.

I appreciate that the series doesn’t shy away from showing the messy side of grief, but I was uncomfortable with the non-consensual moments (slap, unwanted kiss) used as plot devices. They feel glossed over. Also, the power dynamic in the secondary couple raises red flags. Good intentions, but the execution lacks a careful consent framework.

The soundtrack really carries the emotional weight—there’s a recurring piano theme that perfectly underscores the bittersweet reunion moments. I wish the episodes were longer to let the songs breathe, but the music selection is top-tier. It elevated even the slower parts for me.
