Their chemistry was very apparent and it just makes you want to keep watching them. Another big plus is that the second leads were not annoying jerks at all. They're nice and understanding and are not the clingy type who want revenge after they've been let go. While the plot does have the typical cliches with one of the leads getting cancer AND losing his memory, it wasn't bad at all. Be mindful that this drama was from 2009 and there weren't as many dramas with amnesia in it, so it was very interesting at the time. Maybe if you were to watch it now (after seeing so many dramas with amnesia in it) you'll be like "ugh another one of those" but just throw that thought away and give this drama a try!
Anyhow, It gets a little draggy when they meet again before he regains his memory, but it wasn't to the point where you'd want to drop this drama. Other than that, the pace was fast! The ending could have been better but it wasn't like a super rushed ending that makes you feel like it was a pointless episode.
Autumn's Concerto was probably one of the few that I seriously could not wait for the next episode and each day went by so slowly! I'm still rewatching it a million times in 2016 as this is one of my go-to's when I have absolutely nothing to watch/do. Honestly, I do agree that most TW dramas are slow, draggy, and don't have much of a plot. However, II'd say it's one of the best Taiwanese dramas that have been produced and released so far. This is a must watch TW drama!

Not very lovable but oh so enjoyable watch
This was not very good, had a whole bunch of annoying elements and sounds... The male lead has more flags than there are umbrella scenes in dramaland... And the female lead has such a low self esteem a toddler could walk right over it. But still I found myself hooked and just had to binge it...There are a bunch of evil men in this, scum of the earth people... some with power some without much power but enough to push others down. We also get to see a bunch of perverts and a mother who would rather have a puppet then a child...
The drama is flooded with good intentions gone bad, lies. lies, and more lies... hiding truths for so called "own good" Self sacrificing gone waaaay to far and a bunch of twists and turns, bad boy gone good, bad, good again, bad, amnesia, bad, good, bad... and so on... There are also a whole lot of my beloved cliches and inconsistent pacing making this both a fast paced and a slow paced romance all at once!
I love the kids in this drama... as well as the show of scars and abs... lovely dimples there are some good smiles and lovely umbrella scenes too. But that is a bout it the rest of the characters are not very lovable at all.
So what can I say it got me hooked, and while there was actually not much I truly liked in it I enjoyed watching most of it a lot...

I must say I'm impressed with Vaness' acting here I thought he was just a pretty face gracing dramas for teens. The main female lead is also very good. She doesnt need to act cutey here.The main actors' acting as parents were natural. I love their ideas on parenting and disciplining their child. They were sensible like on being not a picky-eater, helping others, making others happy. Over-all their acting were very good.
One can gain parenting wisdom from watching this drama, from choices in life to being a happy parent to a happy child.
However, their lines..aww. Gave me goosebumps for being too mushy! so corny. The lines were like being read straight from a novel. For this I must say 'unnatural'.
And can someone please tell Vaness not to make that hideous smile of his, he kinda look like Jafar from Aladdin or the cat from PUss in a Boots. I doesn't look manly in an arched eyebrows and wide grin :D peace. But I started to believe he is a good actor though.

There were parts of the drama that got a bit boring but it always drew me back in.
All in all its a really good drama to watch.

The cast acted amazing; the plot was never dull; this drama has a great soundtrack; everything was well done.
The main protagonists, An Ady and Wu Vanness have such amazing chemistry when they're together on screen, and that's what is always vital for a drama; without the chemistry, even a great drama well be painful to watch.
The child actor that played their son, what an ADORABLE child. I loved all his scenes!
His "mishamisha" phrase is still stuck on my mind.
What I really want to elaborate, like others have wrote about, is the speed of the drama. Being 21 episodes, I felt not rushed nor felt that the series was being dragged.
This drama has a nice balance of drama, comedy, and romance.
This is a drama I've been putting aside for awhile, but I now am glad I finally watched it and it has become one of my favorites. Watching this has definitely made me both a Wu Vanness fan, I didn't know who he was prior and that he was a singer, and the gorgeous An Ady fan--her eyes are mesmerizing.
I really hope both them are in a drama again in the future.

Its also fast pace as well and not draggy at all which I love. Van Ness Wu OMG man he is one gorgeous HUNK and An Ady she is soo pretty! The lil kid OMG is so adorable and so bloody mature for his age.
The music was just LOVE LOVE LOVE. Especially the theme song, its on repeat on my itunes. XD
The only reason why I didn't give it 10 out of 10 for the re-watching value is because I really don't wanna go all emo again.
Overall a great drama that is just visually appealing to watch.

The Story: 8
The story had a strong lead in as we are thrust into the world of poor Mu Cheng and how she falls in love with the seemingly sweet Guang Xi. Alas their love is met with tragedy as Guang Xi goes through major brain surgery making him lose his memory. It pulls you in to this nice dilemma with of course love interest for the new Guang Xi and Tuo Ye whom has liked Mu Cheng since the beginning; then lets you fall into a messy script.
My first problem is with the six year gap. It just skips straight to six years. No story or even narration, just,"BAM!!! We know the characters changed and even Mu Cheng had a baby, but instead of showing you there lives let's just have the characters briefly explain it. Plus we will throw in flashbacks that have no relevance to what's going on!," the writers basically said. Seriously? Seriously?
Then some of the subplots also dragged out too long. They started out okay, but was stretched to make the show longer. With slow pacing and unnecessary moments this show's story suffered.
The Characters: 8
The main characters in this show are basically Mu Cheng, Guang Xi, Tuo Ye, and Xiao Le. Mu Cheng starts off as this innocent girl in love for the first time then transforms to this depressing chick that over analyzes the whole Xiao Le and Guang Xi situation. While I can understand where she is coming from with her fear, it hurts way too many people at times. PLus she cried too much. Then Guang Xi, well it was a love-hate situation. He was a jackass after the six episodes and quite frankly I was wishing she ended up with Tuo Ye because... he was in her life!!!!! That six year void Tuo Ye took care of Mu Cheng and Xiao Le and Guang Xi has the nerve to be angry at him. Xiao Le was my favorite character because he was adorable and to me was an amazing eccentric five year old. The minor characters did their support really well and saved the story in the end with their personalities.
The acting:9
To me all of the actors did a nice job considering this was a horrible script especially Liu Linda. She was the exceptional step mom from hell with a soft side.
The Music:7
The music wasn't bad in fact I liked some of the piano pieces and the main theme was a nice song too. Sometimes the music just wasn't played at the right moment, plus the main theme was overused. Other than that great job.
Overall I loved this show, but I just can't rewatch it. It's hard for me to rewatch shows like these because I am a comedy fan plus a big crybaby. Hope you guys who are thinking about checking this out will like it. Sorry for the long review, I'll try to shorten it next time.

Definitely not worth its hype
Immature is the word that comes to my mind when i watched this show.Characters were not developed /established well. Not the ML/FL or her friend or anybody. Chemistry might be good but i would prefer that emotion development between them any day than any no.of steamy kisses. But here ML keeps disturbing FL and one act of his melts the FL. I guess the same scenes would still work but with better screenplay or something? It felt like there is no connection between scenees. I know its 2009 series but there are dramas around that era which had good flow.
But big disappointment is the character arc of both FL and ML. Fl started strong and no nonsense but just becomes a senti self sacrificing woman . Her goal of getting into civil service is forgotten. Same with ML. Them handling brain tumor is just so absurd. One day he is running around like mad and next day he sleeps with FL and he has accepted it!
Acting : FL was tolerable but MLs acting is just bad (sorry no offence if he is one of the famous actors) and his scenes were just too jerky running around till the last scene. His reaction when he comes to know his son is missing in the last epi is one such example.
I had expected even if there is misunderstanding till last epi there is that maturity in the story , the feelings etc but was disappointed.
PS : Music is horrible with no relation to whatsoever happening in the drama.
