When We Were Young is a inspiring coming of age youth drama. Although it may not hook you on the first episode, you will be drowned with how beautifully deep their message is as you ride on the waves reaching the next episodes. You can surely relate on the situations of the students as we all encountered things like that during our youth.. even today as well. The plot line itself is very strong, anticipating.

The actors were on point, laughed, cried, got mad, got scared with them... but Yang Xi was the one who captivated me and hooked me to watch this drama 'til the end (even though I really dig into this for HMH).

Music brings this nostalgia feels... especially the happy memories of teenage years.

As for the rewatch value, it was really nice to watch it slowly. I wouldn't recommend you to binge this if you don't like open endings.

It started off good but ended up beautifully written. I got some good quotes from here and I will surely always keep it in my mind.
