About the Drama:

Ren Guang Xi, a cocky law student, seems to lead the perfect life. He's the sole successor to a huge and famous business and a talented ice hockey player. But in reality, his lonely life lacks joy, laughter and motivation. That is until he meets Liang Mu Cheng, the new bento seller at his school canteen. Although orphaned at a young age, Mu Cheng does not let her past affect her and lives life with great passion and determination. A harmless bet brings the two together and Guang Xi slowly changes as Mu Cheng teaches him how to give and love. Tragedy strikes when Guang Xi suddenly has to go through a major brain surgery which causes him to lose his memory. His mother begs Mu Cheng to leave him and the latter has no choice but to do so. Little does she know that she already has Guang Xi's child.



Six years pass. Mu Cheng lives a quiet life with her young son in the countryside while Guang Xi is now a successful lawyer and is engaged to He Yi Qian, the kind and beautiful doctor who took care of him after his surgery. A strangely familiar piano piece stirs Guang Xi's heart as he struggles to recall his past romance with Mu Cheng. How will the couple make up for six years of lost time? Happiness, which stop do I alight at?

Comments:

A very much must watch drama!! I am still looking for a copy of this drama with english subtitles, sigh...I totally can't get it off the shelf =(

I guess the story revolves around misunderstanding and miscommunication between two young couples who loves one another but have to spend so much time understanding one another since they did not communicate....



The plot leading to how Ren Guang Xi remembers about his past was very old fashioned and expected, but nevertheless my heart still skipped when he finally remembers his past...

I totally liked the way Liang Mu Cheng was talking to Ren Guang Xi in the hotel room after she got trapped in the hotel and saved him from a potential scandal. She was actually acting alone while Vanness was resting...

Ady An is such a great actress, she made Vanness Wu feels like a amateur actor. I gotta say Vanness was great too..please do not misunderstand me...but she was better...The couple span off with so much chemistry I watched the show at least 3 times again and again...

Not to forget, Liang Xiao Le (Xiao Xiao Bing), He is totally cute here!! How can such a young baby be such a great actor? He can even remember Van Ness' script LOL...

Some interesting thing I found out from Wikipedia:

As Ady An was filming in China, all publicity touring was held off until February 27, 2010. The drama was also green-lit to be shown in Japan in mid February 2010. However, even with Autumn Concerto's minimal promotion, some of the cast members had been making bets on the ratings of the drama.

Chris Wu, who starred as Hua Tuo Ye, jumped off a diving board at a swimming pool as the response to the drama's ratings inclining above 6%. This act was shown on television. Vanness Wu, Chris Wu, Tiffany Xu, and Apple also recorded a thank you video for all their fans because of the ratings of Episode 18.
