Ok i have to say i really loved this drama because i am totally a sucker for "best-friends-into-lovers" kind of dramas! :)) First of all, the story was not fast paced as many drama watchers would expect it to be because, well, this drama is actually quite realistic in the way that it portrays the relationship of two best friends. In real life, when you are best friends with the opposite sex, it does take time to finally realize that you two should hit it off, because the risk of going from a 'friendship' to a romantic relationship is indeed quite hard and risky. The progression of You Qing and Da Ren's relationship is very realistic because i know people who are actually in this situation, so it's a lot easier to relate to and engage with the characters of the drama. Both characters also actually had a life outside of each other, with their own family and friends, which is also something rare to see in dramas. Both of them were so well written, and their beautiful flaws were what made them seem so real. Though frustrating at times because all of us are just screaming JUST GET IT ON ALREADY!!!!! the ending is very much worth it and everyone should give it a try because this is one of the most fulfilling dramas ever. Overall, this drama touched my heart in many ways because it talks about realistic themes about love in this modern age. It's not all about fluff and rainbows, and it requires two people that deeply care about and understand each other. It has very valuable lessons for those who are single and withering away, wondering if love will ever come to them. In Time With You is also written very well (actually one of the most well-written dramas i have watched), and crafted very well in terms of timing and the little symbols/motifs here and there you might not notice at first. Ariel Lin and Chen Bo Lin's chemistry was amazing and their acting will really touch your heart because it is so, so sincere. Better than Ariel and Joe in my opinion. This is a VERY meaningful drama and i would really recommend it. I could not stop watching this drama, i marathoned it within 2-3 days and it was amazing and worth it even if i was having finals week.
