Wow
Story - I gave the story an 8.5/10 because I think it needed maybe another 10-15 minutes to really tie it up at the end. The ending felt a little abrupt and disjointed compared to the rest of the story from when the boys were younger. But, nonetheless, I think the story and relationships within it were well-developed, well written, and honestly tugged on my heart strings a little too hard. The message that the side storyline portrays is presented in a polished way that I can applaud. It's hard to review much of the story without spoilers but if you're reading this while contemplating if this is worth a watch, I can confirm that I HIGHLY recommend you do! It's a bit of a tear-jerker though so make sure to have tissues on hand! (If you want to know if it has a happy ending or not, just browse through the comments at the bottom of the page and someone will have said so there)
Acting/Cast - I think all of the actors were exceptional in this... ESPECIALLY the younger ones, wow. However, I only gave this section a 9/10 because I did feel like the adult actors looks too different (specifically Zi Chen). It had me feeling a bit disengaged at the end when I'm trying to get used to thinking that they're still the same characters.
Music - 10/10. I think I saw someone say the music in this was lacklustre and boring. And I have no idea what planet they're on or what they're watching, but it can't be Red Balloon if they think the soundtrack is boring. The sound aspect of this drama (whether from the sound of a camera clicking into a flashback transition to the soundtrack music) is phenomenally done. Especially during certain M O M E N T S where the music cuts off, giving a raw feeling to the scene (if you know, you know).
Rewatch Value - let's just say that I can be a sensitive person and I think I could only watch this if I wanted to cry (a lot of people probably don't agree with me on this and probably just think I'm overly emotional lol). In saying that, it's hella cute and it's a really good drama so that's why I rated this part a 7/10
Overall - RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND (also if you want the best experience, I would watch the HD, official version on GagaOOLala)
