Hello! Today’s topic no 25 on the 50 posts challenge (Credit: https://www.lostgenygirl.com/100-lifestyle-blog-post-ideas/ ) 

A lesson I recently learned (not sure if it’s very important or a life lesson) is to just start.

The thing I am talking about is opening up a blog for me. Time and around I had kept on thinking I want to open up a blog, and I had gone through all that lengthy process upto actually starting a blog.

Exhibit A:

Opened up a blog with my sister randomly one day, it had a nice name, we were excited, and we made first  post of hello or something along that line. And that’s it, and a second post was made as far as I remember, but we didn’t keep up with it, mostly because we were not sure what to blog about. The End.

Exhibit B:

Planned up another blog with my bestie (referred as B, check our hot topics of conversations). We thought up a name, made a profile picture/logo picture (both were really nice), made a common email and set up the blog. Took us 2 days almost, and then we didn’t post a thing. Pretty sure everyone has this kind of hallway projects with friends.

This time finally, somehow I was determined to open up a blog.

I looked up step by step tutorials for blog setups for beginners.

While following them, suggestions of relatable topics of what else is required on a blog came up, followed what I thought was applicable for me, made stupid google searches and actually found answers (There’s lots of helpful blogs).

Halfway through the set up, I started jotting down what I want to write about actually, and as I am quite good in procrastinating, made myself find a topic (50 posts challenge) so that I keep on posting at least once every week.

Again while searching for topics, some topics regarding bloggers mistakes/blogging mistakes/what not to do came up, going through them I started overthinking and making up nonexistent scenarios.

So again I had to force myself to stop looking up those topics and focus on making that first post. Gave myself an ultimatum, I had to set up my blog make the first post by so and so date.

And finally I kept the promise I had made to myself, and made the first post, followed by a second, a third…. and today’s post no 25!

What I initially found stressful (courtesy to my overthinking) now I really enjoy it and look forward to writing up every week. The initial ideas I had jot down I have successfully posted, and try to think up other topics while watching dramas or reading other topics, which I want to share. It’s really fun!

So as I was saying at the beginning, I just had to start. For that I am really grateful to Gen Y Girl, and for everything else there is always google!

Congratulations to me for the 25 Posts!

Hwaiting!

Plot:

The year is 2019. The 27 year-old Huang Yu Xuan terribly misses her boyfriend Wang Quan Sheng, who has been missing for two years and is presumed dead. Her birthday wish for this year is to "see him." The year is 1998. The 17 year-old Chen Yun Ru is in love with a boy who doesn't feel the same way for her. Her birthday wish for this year is to "become the girl Li Zi Wei likes." One day, Huang Yu Xuan receives a walkman and a music cassette from an unknown person. She falls asleep listening to its songs and wakes up to see Wang Quang Sheng sitting by her side. She believes she has finally been reunited with her boyfriend, but there's a very big twist. She learns that she is no longer a 27-year-old woman but a high schooler named Chen Yun Ru, who is in the hospital recuperating from a head injury. And the man by her bedside is not her boyfriend after all, but a schoolmate named Li Zi Wei. Trapped in what appears to be the past, living another person's life, Chen Yun Ru's death in 1999 will be her death if she doesn't figure out how the girl landed in the hospital. All the while, Li Zi Wei finds himself strangely drawn to the girl who used to be Chen Yun Ru, despite the fact that he knows his closest friend Mo Jun Jie has had a crush on her... Can true love find a way to bridge a seemingly insurmountable time gap?

Mini Review:

Strangely before watching this drama, 1^st time I had seen Greg Hsu, was in Meet Me @1006 which also had a similar concept of time travel and mystery, but from the 1^st episode of this series it’s quite apparent how different the two themes are. This is a story covering love and friendship across time or time travel to be exact.

In between the packed storytelling, the difference between the two timelines had been best created by Alice Ke for me, her wonderful acting made it very much apparent how the two characters and the timeline are different. The feeling of friendship she had with Li Zi Wei and Mo Jun Jie was absolutely different to the love and relation she had with Wang Quang Sheng.

At some point, I kept rooting for her to stay in 1998 and keep living as Chen Yun Ru with her family dynamics and besties and at the same time I kept wondering when she would come back to 2019, and reunite with Wang Quang Sheng.

Also the other pillar of the story Greg Hsu was an absolute delight to watch, with all his emotions on his sleeve and giving his 100%, be in friendship or relationship, in the past or present timeline, it’s impossible to not fall for him.

Like most time travel dramas, the show was confusing at times and I had to pay real close attention to keep up with all the worlds. But the show did well in covering and tying up all aspects.

And at the core of the show the song connecting all the timeline Wu bai “Last Dance” is a beautiful song, it has a captivating essence to it and special mention to the “broken audio” moment, its makes me excited for the next scenario.

Though the mystery may have taken a back seat for me, the love and the chemistry between the leads was the one that kept the show brightened and running for me.

Ending Notes:

Watch for the friendship bond and school life and the underlying social issues highlighted.

Watch for the absolute burning chemistry between the leads.

Watch for the intriguing time travel and mystery suspense. (The only time travel drama I have completed till now).

Also Wu Bai “Last Dance” is a delightfully beautiful song, which you can keep humming all through the series and even after it.

Final Rating: 3.5/5

Did you love their chemistry and kept humming Wu Bai's Last Dance?
