Let me start by saying that I really love this drama. I didn't know what to expect when I first started it, as I have watched only one tdrama before. The story isn't something that will blow your mind, but the execution was wonderful. Things I loved: The chemistry between the leads is great and the love story is very sweet.The child actor is just so precious and he is basically the wisest character of the show. The second leads are amazing characters, they are kind, good hearted and they genuinelly wish the best for the ones they are in love with. It is almost impossbile not to like the second lead lady (if you will watch the show, you will know what I mean). The pacing of the story is almost perfect, I didn't feel the story dragged on, even if there are 34 episodes. This drama has a lot of cliche elements, but they are done so well that it made me remember why I love Asian dramas so much.
Things I didn't love so much: the editing of the episodes was a bit annoying because between important moments of the show there are some flash back or flash forward scenes that are kind of spoilers. Maybe some people will like that, but I found myself irritated by it.
I am recommending this tdrama to all the romantic souls out there and I am surely going to watch it again.

Very good drama that goes to show just how much good acting and chemistry matter in a series. The story and the scripts are not particularly impressive, but trust me, when you start watching, you couldn't care less. Watch if 1) you're looking for a deep love story, 2) you're looking for serious romantic business (aka skinship and cie), 3) you've had an overdose of comedy and want something different, 4) you're ready for a rollercoster ride of emotions. Don't watch if 1) You have low tolerance for relationship conflicts, 2) You have low tolerance for misunderstanding, 3) You don't like kids.
THE STORY
The premise of the show is nothing innovative and does not peak interest. At least, in my case and many others, you hear about how great the show is and then think about watching it. The few initial episodes seduce you like the best player in the world, but the rest of the show drives you insane until you reach the end and feel like your emotions were mercilessly toyed with...except that you loved it. Honestly, the story is frustrating, but it's 'real', something you can't relate to but you can find coherent, and it has characters you can only like, even if you don't always understand them.
THE ACTING
Pretty cool! I'm still new in the realm of Taiwanese dramas. It looks bad to say it, but to be honest, I started with recent romcoms, and they got me thinking that I would never be able to take Taiwanese shows seriously. The acting was almost cartoony, I'm guessing due to the genre. Autumn's Concerto shattered all my prejudice. The acting is superb. There's so much chemistry between all actors but particularly the main couple. I really believe that it's that, more than the story itself, that sucks the viewer in. The little boy is incredibly good too, which is rare for a child actor of his age.
THE MUSIC
Fab. Maybe the main theme song, I love him (Wo ai ta) by Della Ding, will not do it for you, but you'll have to admit it matches perfectly the mood of the show. And there's plenty of other tracks that you'll be able to obsess over. My personal favorite: I thought (Wo yi wei) by Victor Wang.
REWATCH VALUE
It's a matter of mind over heart. Whenever I'm searching for something to watch, my heart begs me to rewatch it, craving for all the intense emotions that it provoked, but my mind tells me not to, because I just can't deal with it. Conclusion is, I'll probably rewatch it again. More than once.

Their chemistry was very apparent and it just makes you want to keep watching them. Another big plus is that the second leads were not annoying jerks at all. They're nice and understanding and are not the clingy type who want revenge after they've been let go. While the plot does have the typical cliches with one of the leads getting cancer AND losing his memory, it wasn't bad at all. Be mindful that this drama was from 2009 and there weren't as many dramas with amnesia in it, so it was very interesting at the time. Maybe if you were to watch it now (after seeing so many dramas with amnesia in it) you'll be like "ugh another one of those" but just throw that thought away and give this drama a try!
Anyhow, It gets a little draggy when they meet again before he regains his memory, but it wasn't to the point where you'd want to drop this drama. Other than that, the pace was fast! The ending could have been better but it wasn't like a super rushed ending that makes you feel like it was a pointless episode.
Autumn's Concerto was probably one of the few that I seriously could not wait for the next episode and each day went by so slowly! I'm still rewatching it a million times in 2016 as this is one of my go-to's when I have absolutely nothing to watch/do. Honestly, I do agree that most TW dramas are slow, draggy, and don't have much of a plot. However, II'd say it's one of the best Taiwanese dramas that have been produced and released so far. This is a must watch TW drama!

Not very lovable but oh so enjoyable watch
This was not very good, had a whole bunch of annoying elements and sounds... The male lead has more flags than there are umbrella scenes in dramaland... And the female lead has such a low self esteem a toddler could walk right over it. But still I found myself hooked and just had to binge it...There are a bunch of evil men in this, scum of the earth people... some with power some without much power but enough to push others down. We also get to see a bunch of perverts and a mother who would rather have a puppet then a child...
The drama is flooded with good intentions gone bad, lies. lies, and more lies... hiding truths for so called "own good" Self sacrificing gone waaaay to far and a bunch of twists and turns, bad boy gone good, bad, good again, bad, amnesia, bad, good, bad... and so on... There are also a whole lot of my beloved cliches and inconsistent pacing making this both a fast paced and a slow paced romance all at once!
I love the kids in this drama... as well as the show of scars and abs... lovely dimples there are some good smiles and lovely umbrella scenes too. But that is a bout it the rest of the characters are not very lovable at all.
So what can I say it got me hooked, and while there was actually not much I truly liked in it I enjoyed watching most of it a lot...

I must say I'm impressed with Vaness' acting here I thought he was just a pretty face gracing dramas for teens. The main female lead is also very good. She doesnt need to act cutey here.The main actors' acting as parents were natural. I love their ideas on parenting and disciplining their child. They were sensible like on being not a picky-eater, helping others, making others happy. Over-all their acting were very good.
One can gain parenting wisdom from watching this drama, from choices in life to being a happy parent to a happy child.
However, their lines..aww. Gave me goosebumps for being too mushy! so corny. The lines were like being read straight from a novel. For this I must say 'unnatural'.
And can someone please tell Vaness not to make that hideous smile of his, he kinda look like Jafar from Aladdin or the cat from PUss in a Boots. I doesn't look manly in an arched eyebrows and wide grin :D peace. But I started to believe he is a good actor though.

There were parts of the drama that got a bit boring but it always drew me back in.
All in all its a really good drama to watch.

The cast acted amazing; the plot was never dull; this drama has a great soundtrack; everything was well done.
The main protagonists, An Ady and Wu Vanness have such amazing chemistry when they're together on screen, and that's what is always vital for a drama; without the chemistry, even a great drama well be painful to watch.
The child actor that played their son, what an ADORABLE child. I loved all his scenes!
His "mishamisha" phrase is still stuck on my mind.
What I really want to elaborate, like others have wrote about, is the speed of the drama. Being 21 episodes, I felt not rushed nor felt that the series was being dragged.
This drama has a nice balance of drama, comedy, and romance.
This is a drama I've been putting aside for awhile, but I now am glad I finally watched it and it has become one of my favorites. Watching this has definitely made me both a Wu Vanness fan, I didn't know who he was prior and that he was a singer, and the gorgeous An Ady fan--her eyes are mesmerizing.
I really hope both them are in a drama again in the future.

Its also fast pace as well and not draggy at all which I love. Van Ness Wu OMG man he is one gorgeous HUNK and An Ady she is soo pretty! The lil kid OMG is so adorable and so bloody mature for his age.
The music was just LOVE LOVE LOVE. Especially the theme song, its on repeat on my itunes. XD
The only reason why I didn't give it 10 out of 10 for the re-watching value is because I really don't wanna go all emo again.
Overall a great drama that is just visually appealing to watch.
