2014 TV series : 16 Summers (16個夏天) aka The Way We Were

I love this teen-to-adult romantic tv series produced by Ruby Lin, Taiwan's TV Queen.  

Taiwanese producers are better at making teen romantic tv series or films.  I tend to prefer watching their productions to other productions from HK and the mainland China.  Back in the 60s, 70s and early 80s, Taiwanese films tended to be silver screen blockbusters.  

Tang Jia Ni, played by Ruby Lin, was an undergraduate at a university in Taipei.  She had two best friends, Wang Jun Jie and Zheng Rui Rui, and they were extremely close to each each.  One day, the trio decided to spend their time in a local swimming pool.  TJN decided to take a swim but she was getting into trouble in the pool.  WJJ jumped into the pool to help TJN.  At the same time, Feng Wei De did the same but WJJ had already saved TJN.

One day, TJN was molested by a customer at her workplace, a mini market, and she complained to her manager. However, her manager decided to ignore the complaint.  Feng Wei De (FWD) heard about the commotion and decided to stand up for TJN.  But, it didn't do TJN any good as she was now fired from her part-time job!

This how TJN and FWD met for the second time.  The third time was when FWD moved into TJN's flat and became her flatmate.

One incident after another eventually led FWD falling in love with TJN.  However, TJN decided to marry WJJ out of compassion in order to look after him.  WJJ became crippled as a result of being a victim of the 1999 earthquake in Taiwan.  FWD joined the army and left for Shanghai after the commission.

However, so many incidents occurred which eventually brought TJN and FWD.

I love the story very much.  Watch if you are a romantic fool!  I am sure you'll enjoy it very much.
