Aftermath

strangely enough, i have more questions/thoughts in my head after watching the final episode of in time with you for a bajillion times.

1. what happened after youqing fainted in liwei's home when she was heavily soaked under the rain and found out he was sleeping with his assistant?

2. when youqing went on a 8-month trip around the world, were the postcards the only form of communication between her and daren?

3. when did youqing and daren became best friends? that wasn't properly explained in the series.

4. why didn't the director filmed the scene with youqing's family after the wedding? i can sense the happiness from the cheng family because daren is finally part of their family.

5. i would like to know how are they like after getting married - like hanging out with their high school friends, at work and even with their families. I AM SO CURIOUS.

6. how did daren and his high school buddies get together again after that fight? was it all awkward or was it all back to normal?

to be honest, there is a lot to explore in their lives but this show is more about their (hidden) feelings for one another and the obstacles that kept them apart for that long. i thought it would be genius if we could look into the life span of those 15 years. i simply adore their high school friends and their families. SIGHING FOREVER AT THE ENDLESS STORIES.

on the day of youqing's 32nd birthday, i found it amazing and touching when daren suddenly appeared in the ikea showroom to wish her happy birthday. it's like the timing for everything seemed to be right. he didn't even have to ask whether she wants to be together with him. when he kissed her, it felt everything was perfect in its place to the extent my heart wanted to explode. basically it was more of a silent gesture to show their consent to be a couple? so worth the wait of 12 episodes. it was my favourite scene from the original screenplay and to see it being executed in the most awesome manner, i am too gleeful about it.

i can't hope there would be a sequel for this since ariel lin won't be taking television work for the meantime. however, if the writing for the sequel is good and if all the members of the cast do agree to come back, i will be looking forward to it anytime. in my opinion, the ariel lin + chen bolin combination is really undisputed. this is their best work yet.

and yes, this show is my favourite idol drama of all :)
