Wei Jillian's manga / #drama(2)

A story about a pair of orphans growing up together. They got adopted separately by different family but still had contact with each other. Cause they were brothers. The story itself was really heart touching and I cried on many parts. Another good thing was that every character got their own background story shown in a good amount of time. I expected that the story and the title would have a bit more of an association. I know that the story is not about time travelling but... Yeah. I don't get who was waiting for whom in 1999, I felt like something was missing... I expected the ending to be more tragic and sad cause then maybe it would have given the title it purpose. 1999 was the year where they first met and I felt like if Shi Yi died it would have completed the title a little bit more. For example --> " I can only meet you in my memories when I look back at the year 1999 ", that kind of vibes. This didn't break my heart. Idk why but I didn't fell in love (platonic love/adoring them) with any of the characters. I had a strong feeling of sympathy for every character but none of them stood out to me. I was mostly crying cause what happened to them was horrible but their personality??? Yeah, their personality wasn't very likeable somehow? BUT compare to IF they were real human then they would be considered as such a goodie good people, for example, Shi Yi he was a volunteer in an earthquake catastrophe helping other people, mother and father who adopted him... Even though the character didn't stand out to me I still like the fact that they were there and looked after each other in difficult times. They fitted in with each other more than what they would have with me. On the other hand, the character's design and look are very cute and very manwha like, which I love. It's not BL but bromance.
