Plot

Adolescence is like a heavy rain. Even though you catch a cold from it, you still look forward to experiencing it once again.

Ko-Teng has several close friends who had a crush on Shen Chia-Yi. Those friends of Ko's thus moved in unison from Ching Chengs junior high school straight into the senior high school division in pursuit of her.

Naughty in nature, Ko was ordered by their homeroom teacher to sit in front of honor student Shen for her to keep close tabs on him. The two hadn't hit it off at first but Ko gradually fell for Shen, who was always pressuring him to study hard. On the other hand, Shen became impressed by the contrasting values Ko represented. Ko started pursuing Shen but Shen remained hesitant.

hestyarious Oct 25 2019 12:14 pm I don't like the ending. Not fair ??

Jeanne Apr 10 2018 10:59 am If only ko chen tung chose to listen to michelle chen's answer then they probably would have a happy ending T.T i feel so depressed, they were so good together T.T

Steph Jan 06 2018 8:50 am I really like these type of films with youthful and nostalgic tones that remind me of my younger, carefree self. The movie felt realistic in portraying the childish nature of high school life. It had a great balance of fun and relatable scenes that each of us go through in our lives.

Apple Jun 14 2017 6:06 pm If Ko Ching-teng said yes when Shen Chia-yi asked him if he wants to know the anwer.... that would be great. But anyways this movie is one of the best. Just don't mind the nude scenes of KO Ching-tae lol. But this movie is perfectly done 10/10.

昼味 Nov 16 2014 12:05 am This kind of story is sweet and good in every angle. Humour, romance, friendship, childhood and life are blend well. The story tells that sometimes you don't get to be with who you always want to be with. But in the end, you're happy for her. That's weird about love, isn't it? I'm touched because the story somehow related to me, in many ways. "Maybe we are together, in the parallel universe. But, here, the destiny is not in our fovor."

tdramafan Aug 31 2014 3:31 am This is so beautiful! It talks about the craziness of our high school life plus the joy and pains of growing up especially to being independent and mature. This is also the story of that "one person that has gotten away!" Truly, you must tell someone that you love him/her no matter what so that in the end you would not regret it! Highly recommended. Good feel movie, so light and yet so touching, so real with all the craziness of growing up, of friendship!

Congrats to everyone, I so like Ko chen tung, continue honing your craft, you are very young but you have potentials....lots of things ahead of you, although you are now facing (a drug related incident, saw in the news) a real problem. Hope you will become a better person and performer after that.

G. Mar 16 2014 6:04 pm This movie was absolutely beautiful. It's theme and execution reminds me a lot of Reply 1997 and a Thai show called, Hormones. Surprisingly, I thought that this movie was realistic, especially the ending. It portrayed adolescence beautifully and accurately. I would recommend it to anyone!

Andre Apr 08 2013 12:27 am Please make "you're the apple of my eye 2".
