OVERALL Good show, that would have been even better without the unnecessary drama added up in the end. Watch if 1) You're looking for a coherent love story, 2) You want to see sparks between the actors and something more than kisses, 3) You can handle uninteresting peripheral plots (by watching or skipping, up to you) for the sake of the main couple. Don't watch if 1) You can't stand cliched dramatic elements, 2) You like strong female leads (even though she's not that bad), 3) You're looking for romantic comedy more than comic romance, since there's not that much comedy in here. THE STORY There's sort of a pattern I've been noticing in some Taiwanese romcoms. Even if 90% of the show is light, fun and sweet, they just have to go and put some drama at the very last couple of episodes, which they don't resolve in a reasonable time to provide a good, rounded-up ending, but they drag on to the last few minutes, resulting in a rushed, often dissatisfying ending. In some cases, it's still okay, but in this one, probably because the dramas so short, I feel like the ending pretty much brought down the show. Also, there's just too many characters to hate or not care about. If you forget these two factors though, Love keeps going is quite good. The main characters are a bit more developed than the protagonists of the usual romcom, which means that they're more understandable and real. Their relationship gradually evolves from nothing to something, and they have several cute, sweet and sexy scenes together. THE ACTING Pretty good. Mike He had not convinced me in Sunny Happiness, but here he was great. Cindy Wang I saw for the first time in here and she's probably in my list of Taiwanese actors to follow now. They had good chemistry too. Supportive actors did a good job, even though their characters were not the most likable. THE MUSIC Only for Cindy Wang's song, Don't Cry (Bu ku), I give it a 7. The other songs didn't leave much of an impression on me. REWATCH VALUE Until episode 10, definitely rewatchable. I would just stop it before all the drama.
