In 1995, Jia En and her childhood friend, Ren Wei took their college entrance exams (oddly, just the two of them in a classroom).... Apparently, Jia En fails and can't go to college that following year, whereas Ren Wei will be leaving for Taipei to be independent... Jia En, a free spirited girl (whose short, wiglike hairdo will annoy us slightly), becomes bored at home, so she goes to see her friend and ends up saying at the university where she may or may not find new love and friends.
Pretty good beginning (I don't know what happened to me, but I skipped 8 episodes... the story still makes sense!) I love how Jia En changes through the drama... first, she is quite nosy, annoying, and just caring then she grows into an adventurous, pretty, kind person. Viewers seemed bothered that Ren Wei could be an asshole until anything past half the series.
I loved everything about the first four, six episodes. A temporary love triangle of a pretty righteous couple changes when half a couple likes another. Aww, it's too bad someone gave up impressing his/her crush/first love.

I think the viewers witnessing the court case was a waste. Eh.

| I'm. Already. Scared. |
Still, it's nice to watch pagers, payphones, etc in action... oh yeah, Tamagotchis!
The ending is not your average ending. Hint: It's like my friend and I.. miles away, yet I can hear you.
