Drama Digest:
In No Regrets in Life, a group of friends who pretentiously go by the name of the Nine Suns organize an annual reunion eight years after their mainly carefree college days (Netflix, Season 1 now complete). Ironically, remorse permeates the show, which is ironic. The latest gathering’s covert goal is to reunite Wang Yen (Liu Kuan-ting) and Ning Yu-chu (Annie Chen), who have been avoiding one another. They were almost an item in college, but Wang Yen’s inability to confess his feelings to Ning stood in the way of their happily ever after.
The Feel-Good Part:
Unlike other dramas, which take place as characters mature from students to adults, this one takes place in the present, with the primary cast being primarily young adults and flashbacks providing background information. Overall, this had excellent acting! You will experience a range of emotions as a result of the music, which was equally dramatic in both the background and the subtle quiet periods as well as the little extra dramatic moments.
The Disappointing Factor:
The only truly horrible aspect of this show was the lead female character. Although she is a selfish person, the series’ main character went too far and dragged things out, both in the middle and in the end.
In-Depth Analysis:
Friends from college reunite for an 8-year reunion (since graduation). All of them are 30. This is a transitional period for many people—a time for marriage, children, and job advancement. And oddly enough, we seem to be living in an age where friendship groups are challenged by events like divorce, deaths, and professional challenges. situations that put our connections and allegiances in jeopardy. This drama avoids employing any of the typical dramaland cliches we anticipate, it doesn’t totally check any one box, and as a result, it keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. It is about romantic love even if this isn’t truly a romance drama in the usual sense. It is a drama about a family that was not intended to be found.
Star Power:
This program truly shines. Amazing synergy exists between the main characters. Also outstanding is the supporting cast. I received a great surprise. The characters’ portrayals of complex emotions and the circumstances they find themselves in are simply outstanding. Even in the sequences where the main characters argue with one another, it comes out sincere, and all emotional gamuts are expertly handled. The play deftly handles a wide variety of emotions; at times it is serious and other times it is humorous. Liu Kuan-Ting and Annie Chen are both outstanding actors.
Overall Opinion:
The plot has some interesting shocks. The presentation of the ebb and flow of friendships was superb. The viral video meme was done rather well, however it served more as a plot hack than as the main plot device. Compared to most dramas, it unquestionably evokes viewer emotion more.
