THE GRADUATE
畢業生

I finally finished watching this!
It's really different from all the other dramas I've watched.

Firstly, it's a 5 episode miniseries. It's just 5 short films and none of them are related to each other. However, these 5 films actually have a moral behind them and it is definitely not one of your typical idol dramas. Well, there aren't that many idols in this drama. You'll probably recognise A Chord in one of the films. Once again, he's just a supporting character.

Each story is unique and it has a very good storyline. It does have a plot & I think that the drama is really suitable for teenagers because it teaches us about things in life such as friendship etc.


I really love watching it because it is very real and these things do happen everyday.


Episode 1- Lonely Game

Xiao An & Xiao Die are best friends who travel to Taipei to become hairstylists however, something happens that causes Xiao Die to fall out with Xiao An. Xiao Die calls it betrayal and in the end, something happens to Xiao An which causes Xiao Die to regret.
The episode emphasises on not knowing what we have until it's gone and how painful that feeling is when we find out that we're never going to have it back.


Episode 2 - Black Summer

It's summer vacation and the male lead intends on trying out something new so he finds his cousin who is in a gang. So, things happen such as fighting with a rival gang and there is another loss in the drama.
The episode teaches us about blind courage and the unthinkable consequences that comes with it. Sometimes, we think that it's cool and everything but we don't realise that we can get hurt and even loose our own lives.
Although it's set to be a fictional story, I think that it is one of the most real stories so far because these things do happen. (Such as joining gangs, gangfights etc.)
Btw, A Chord appears in the drama.

Episode 3 -Fortunately We're all Still Here

The storyline is slightly similar to Black Summer but it's more about taking risks. Frankly speaking, it took me quite a while to understand what it's talking about.

Episode 4 - Mimi's Wandering Mind.

Mimi is a girl who lives in a rather broken home. Her father hits her mother for money and hence, Mimi ran away. She ended up meeting A Hao who does care for her but ends up "being her pimp." She is then sent to something like a girls home where all the other girls have problems at home etc. Initially it took Mimi some time to get used to the environment but slowly she learns to let go.
I like this one the best. I guess it is because I like the storyline and what happens in the end. It's quite sweet actually.

Episode 5 - Waves Of Nature

This is one story I bet most girls could relate to.
It's about popularity and backstabbing and all that bitchy stuff. It's the simplest story to understand maybe because it does happen to every girl.

I am not sure when my next update will be but I can tell you that I might loose all my freedom because of my younger brother. I am unsure whether I'll be allowed out or even online on weekends. I lost what I worked so hard for and that is the freedom I now have. If I'm going to go back to square one, then it's good that school will be starting very very soon. I'll count down.

I hope you see the truth this time and stop putting that burden on my shoulders. I wish you could realise just how hard I've tried and what a fool you are. This time, I can only rely on myself to fight this battle and get through it. He's not there for me now, so I'll have to do this alone.
Why can't you see it? How hard I've had to fight just so that you will accept me and treat me like a real person? It's been so hard. Too hard.
All the times I've tried to be the person you want me to be. It's not who I am but I gave up everything just for you. Why? Why can't you just see it? Will you stop being so biased now? Open your eyes. Just please. I beg of you.
