Autumn's Concerto

Finally, I've finished watching this Taiwanese drama! The Chinese tittle if translated directly is known as Next Stop, Happiness.

This story is about a rich rude brat named Ren Guang Xi, who lost his memories due to a tumour removal surgery in the brain. He forgotten all his pass including the love of his life, Lian Mu Cheng. Six years later, Guang Xi is the most successful lawyer and has a girlfriend named He Yi Qian (who also saved Guang Xi; a doctor). Due to the punch on his client, Guang Xi was sentenced to community service in Hua Village. Here is where Guang Xi and Mu Cheng reunite and not forgetting her son, Liang Xiao Le (Guang Xi's son).

After spending time with them and the villagers, slowly from his personality of arrogance and cocky soon changed to kind and understanding. The bond between Guang Xi and Xiao Le slowly deepens. After Guang Xi managed to get his future father-in-law's company to drop the plan of buy Hua Village, he leave to prepare his wedding with his fiance, Yi Qian. Xiao Le was too upset and misses Guang Xi so much that he left the village to Taipei. There Xiao Le got admitted into the hospital as he did not take his insulin shot on that day as he has first type of Hepatitis.

Through this event, Yi Qian found out that Xiao Le is actually Guang Xi's son. Mu Cheng begged her not to tell Guang Xi as this event (her and Xiao Le) was just his past and that they should stay so. On the night before marriage, Guang Xi found a pen-drive in the wristband while cleaning. The next day he went to ther church to search for Mu Cheng and told her that he wants his son back. He gave her two options, it's either they meet in court or she marries him.

Throughout their marriage, Guang Xi tortured and insulted her in every possible way. He accused her of having an affair with Hua Tuo Ye (Mu Cheng's best friend and is in love with her). So after he is done with Tuo Ye's court case, he would file for divorce. On the very next day, Xiao Le was kidnapped! Thanks to this incident, both Mu Cheng and Guang Xi got back together. This drama ended with this line by Mu Cheng,

"Actually where ever the stop is, I'm fine with it. As long as the stop has you, cause you are my happiness,".

This drama is a love-hate relationship for me. I love it cause of the plot. This drama potrays the love-hate relationship between a mother and son, and between lovers. Guang Xi is always against his mother yet his mother endured it. When Guang Xi found out the truth about his father's death, he asked his mother why didn't she told him and continued letting him to misunderstood her. With one simple answer, "Because you are my son and I love you" shows that no matter what parents do although it's wrong it is out of their children's best interest.

Though he says that Mu Cheng is nothing but the mother of his child, but in reality he wants her to be with him by marrying her. But I really hate it as he kept making accusations towards his wife. He told Mu Cheng to play his wife role properly, but he didn't even play the husband role properly!!! Moreover, it is not realistic enough! Everything seems to be so storyline-ish... Well, its drama alright....
