Just know that the drama made Li Yapeng and Xu Jinglei famous.
Wish I knew how people from that era really felt about the drama.

At that time, it was my first time to make a TV series, when everyone was still out, so they all had a kind of drive of heart, all wanting to make something beautiful. But when the TV series first aired, there was hardly a single report or review of it that could be found, and the whole industry was scornful of the show at the time.
A number of years later, I came across young people who told me that the drama had affected their love and life, and therefore went to college, but they were very few, so I was not particularly aware that the drama had an impact on young people, and I did not have any particular notion of whether the drama was hot or not, or whether it was a hit or not, but it was only after it was aired on TV that I began to have a reaction to it.
But after seven or eight years, one day Xu Jinglei called me, said she watched the play on TV and thought it was good, and wanted to get together, and at that gathering, I felt that the relationship between our brothers and sisters was still there, and we didn't get separated because of being wristwatches or anything else, and that the affection for "Will Love" was still there, just like a bunch of old classmates, but also still just feeling relieved.
By 2009, some media began to spontaneously ask me for articles, interviews, and so on, to do the 10th anniversary, and I realized that the play really had an impact on the young people at that time, and that these young people had already begun to express themselves in various fields, and had already grown up.
It was also when I finally realized how there were vicissitudes because of love.

Last night brush microblogging, see the bedtime movie this, and then did not continue to brush down, close your eyes, a time to remember that at the time to watch this drama of those years, a long time can not fall asleep.
The first ranked is the director's own answer, no excuse, but I do not think this answer answered the question of the title.
The questioner is trying to find out what people from that era really felt. Well, as a teenager of that era, I decided to dedicate my maiden answer to the old Xu who used to be there.
----------------------------------------------- Egg-crushing dividing line ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
Remember watching will love was in junior high school, when my mother and I had just got rid of the snail's pace of life in the foster home and moved to a new building. A teenager will begin puberty, the heart is full of a thousand strange ideas, at this time finally have a completely their own room, suddenly full of greater longing for life, it is in this case brother chased the end of the will love.
The first time I watched this piece was after lunch, the county TV station just finished broadcasting the last episode of "The Greatest Generation" (I have to say, Lin Zhiying is a demon, okay?), I intend to see what's playing next, and after surviving a large section of advertisements for selling pig feed, I was hooked by Chen Ming's "Waiting for You to Love Me".
If at that time I was full of fantasies about the future, then after I watched "Will Love," my expectations for the future became clearer and more tangible in my mind. It made me start to envision going to a university with red walls and iron gates, riding a big two-eight bicycle carrying my beloved girl against the wind, setting off a small firework for her in the city's bright lights, inexplicably running on the plastic track on a rainy day, working a job to support myself, practicing a small muscle to hold up the thin body, and even a bed to sleep in, I can't wait to change into the one that Le Yan slept in when he first started working. The wooden fence bed that Le Yan slept in when he first started working.
In the end, it really made me feel the struggles and compromises of life.
----------------------------------------------- Eggs are hurting the dividing line ---------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't tell you if it's the first idol drama on the mainland, but at least my reaction to seeing it was, "Damn, college students are so foreign. As a junior high school student, I felt that I was earthy, and I couldn't wait to throw away the formative years of my youth and step directly into the door of the university. Of course, this is probably every junior high school students have fantasized about countless times, but, this is impossible.
What was everyone looking at at the time? Anyway, the most popular sticker sold in the store was Pearl River Delta. Meteor Garden? Never even heard of it.
The Internet, still so strange, every Internet cafe seemed to be open in a small dark room in the hutong, and Red Alert was one of everyone's favorite games. As well, Dancing Lightly was a foreign name.
It seemed like the wind had just been blowing to lighten the load for students, and I finally didn't have to climb out of bed at 5:30 a.m., but classes still didn't end until 8:00 p.m. in the evening. Sometimes I'd ride home with a couple of gangsters to drop off a girl who belonged to who knows who, or I'd listen to them sing open-air karaoke for a dollar a song in the plaza, and on weekends, it was billiards, roller-skating, and big game consoles.
Oh, yes, and everyone is looking forward to growing up to the age of flower and rain, as if that would be adulthood.
This is the teenager in those days, imagine how many people's youthful excitement was aroused by the appearance of will love.
----------------------------------------------- egg does not hurt the dividing line ---------------------------------------------------------------------
In fact, I don't like Yang Zheng, his strong pretentiousness is annoying to look at, and also because of this, I have no feelings for Li Yapeng. Every relationship of Yang Zheng makes me envious, Wen Hui, Ruotong, the boss lady of the car repair store, Bei Bei, envious but unreachable, may be one of the reasons why I am annoyed with him. What I remember most is when he put on Wen Hui's headphones in the video store and quietly listened to Chariots of Fire, as well as holding Bei Bei's cell phone facing the sea and saying, "Wen Hui, listen.
Wen Hui should let a lot of people build the imagination of the girlfriend, right, long hair, sometimes braided into a long braid hanging behind, wearing suspenders lined with small breasts, coy and sweet smile, subtle and vigorous feelings. When she saw Yang Zheng's happiness on her face, she let you understand the flavor of love for the first time, and she rushed into the rain to embrace Yang Zheng's moment as if she pounced into your heart. Xu Jinglei became popular because of this drama, then she was accused of being a flower vase, then she became a talented woman, then she was Wang Shuo, Han Han ...... Saying too much is a tear okay.
After a decade, Wen Hui has become an old Xu, and Xiao Zhi is still Xiao Zhi.
As a person of that era, my true feelings about will love, to put it bluntly, pretentious adolescence.

There was a column written about Xu Jinglei this year, and I just happened to post a paragraph answering the question:
*************************************** **Enter the pasted dividing line **************************************************
In 2000 I was in high school, and one of my girlfriends was admitted to the same key high school from a different key middle school. So we met and wore white cotton dresses and plaid scarves together, and on the first day of school, we were very flashy on campus. The class teacher of both sides was going to criticize us, but after looking at the report card of the city's top 50 grades, he had to politely remind in the ear: "From tomorrow onwards, can we take off the small square scarf? In addition, the hair should be tied in a ponytail, or cut short."
Don't blame us for being 13 - who hasn't been a teenager like that? The cotton dress may have been influenced by Annie Babe, who was a big hit at the time, and the scarf, well, it was all because of Xu Jinglei.
With my age about the same people probably not difficult to understand more than 10 years ago we love Xu Jinglei, the love of Xu Jinglei is the love of Wen Hui it - pure, thin, introverted, smile a little bitter, teeth do not look good so do not love open mouth, but really is unlimited youthful beauty bloom ah. 16-year-old me on Wen Hui is simply I loved Wen Hui to the extent of obsession, I would seriously collect all her looks in "Love to the End" - shawl hair wearing a square scarf, crystal hair rope, double braid, double ponytail, princess head, large flower handkerchief single ponytail ...... even an Adidas dress she wore in the scene of Yusen's car accident. Even the one she wore in the scene of Yusen's car accident, an Adi jacket, I followed the example of the gourd to buy to wear (to know that usually I am a person who hates sports brands ah)! In those days, the media always used the words "pure jade girl" (please don't give these words pornographic associations like today's times) for her, and we didn't question or disdain it - there was a lot more than this skinny, shy girl who wanted to enter the makeup department of Peking University, but mistakenly got into a school in the middle of it all. What could be more deserving of these words than this skinny, shy girl who wanted to enter the makeup department of Nortel, but got into the acting department by mistake? Her acting skills are not good at all, but still steadily sat on the throne of the "four little flower girl". Because there are so many people love her - love her, is to love our own youth, love we can still for love shocking cone of blood teenage years.

Watching this drama in high school made me determined to go to Shanghai to study at the university, and in the end, as I wished, the entire trajectory of my life was changed.
Sort of the biggest touch for me.

Estimate Now come to answer the question of this batch of people, I should be considered older, but watch that drama when also just not yet in college, (serious exposure age), still in love that is the period of early love. The emotion of this drama is more about the longing for love in the drama - it is actually possible to fall in love openly and honestly, gosh I just can't believe it. In the late 90's, love on campus was still strictly prohibited, and the very few people who did it were sneaky and underground, and once they were found out, it was bad luck. (Seems like it's pretty normal to fall in love in high school nowadays, or maybe it's just me.) That's why I've always been envious of this drama, which depicts open and honest campus romance. They love clearly, they cry unabashedly, they fight bravely and pursue boldly, and they love each other, but they torture each other. I was learning about college-age love within this drama, so much so that I unconsciously brought out the shadow of this drama in many of my behaviors later on after I went to college.
But I was only impressed by the first part of the drama (the part where Wen Hui and Yang Zheng "tortured each other"). The later part about getting out of the society is probably too far from life, so I always felt little ****ing emotion.
Memory of a few scenes in particular: 1, Yang Zheng sent them a few large bundles of red roses (this really shocked me) 2, Wen Hui and Yang Zheng bus stop encounter. 3, Wen Hui and Yang Zheng in a square (is not it?) embraced. The two of them were in a square (wasn't it?) and they embraced each other.
The other biggest impact is that I always thought Wen Hui looked beautiful in her red t-shirt and jean skirt and ponytail. For years afterward, I always wore that, too, with a small square scarf tied around my ponytail ......

The first time I watched this movie was in elementary school, and to this day, I still clearly remember Li Yapeng The first time I saw this movie, I was still in elementary school, and I still remember clearly Li Yapeng riding his bicycle and bringing his brothers to send roses to Xu Jinglei; I also remember Li Yapeng standing on the seashore and giving Xu Jinglei a phone call.
Later, I was admitted into the university inside this TV series, in the playground where Li Yapeng and Xu Jinglei ran, in the road they rode through, in the teaching building where they had classes, in the Sanhao Dockyard where they often passed by, and began the story of my first love。。。。

This is the only Chinese drama VCD I have ever bought (pirated, sorry), at the age of 17, 8 years old that just graduated from high school at the age of ignorance, I really have a lot of feelings
Picked up the piano that had been put down for years, and sang "Distant Hope" on the piano in the Campus Song Contest in my first year of college. The first time I saw this, I was able to play the piano and sing the song "Remote View", which made me famous in the school (but I didn't play it for my girlfriend, lol). From then on, I found my love for music, and I couldn't get out of hand. After graduating from college, I decided to change my career to music.

The first real idol drama in my life, I saw those red roses given to Wen Hui by Yang Zheng, and thought that was probably love...I watched the movie "Will Love" with my ex who had just reconciled with me a few years later, and in fact, I knew in my heart that I could never go back. In fact, both of them understand that they can never go back... The movie's ending seems to be waving goodbye to the two people's former days...

After watching the movie, I made up my mind to come to Shanghai to study at the university, and of course my dream came true. dream come true. Just to see the red walls and green grass of the school, that red plastic 129 playground
Wait until the university's centennial celebration, Chen Ming went on stage and sang "Waiting for you to love me", a group of people off the stage quietly shed tears. Perhaps this drama is exactly the youth and love of our age

In 1998, I was only in my second year of junior high school, but I was already clueless, envious, eager, and unattainable is what I felt at that time. I think people my age and I should be about the same.
Children want to grow up quickly. So the movies that have been made since then don't seem to have that kind of feeling anymore, and it's possible that when you grow up, you start to be afraid of growing up, afraid that the people around you will go away.
So although still surrounded by men and women are split up, but not that envy.

But the audience population should be mainly after 80, and should be mainly after 85, there was no reaction is also very normal, the mainstream of the society which will be such a group of people, and the underdevelopment of the network media also led to these people do not have a channel to voice. But undoubtedly this drama had a great impact on our generation, almost the whole school watched it back then, and the theme and interludes in the movie were very popular, as junior high school students we spent a lot of money to buy the original cassette tapes, and every day in the classroom the topic of conversation was, how are Yang Zheng and Wen Hui? What happened to Le Yan and Xiao Ai, and why is Yu Sen gone? What? There's a Beibei? What about Ruotong? What will happen to her and Yang Zheng? Jiawei met a girl he likes? Blah, blah, blah; and to say how much of an impact it had on us, look at the good box office of the movie 12 years later can also tell us something, all in all, in a nutshell, the impact this drama has had on the 85 age group is not to be ignored.
----------------------(split line)---------------------
The part where Yang Zheng takes Bei Bei's cell phone and gives Wen Hui a chance to listen to the sea I still think is a classic romance, and I've been thinking about going for that trick.

Sophomore or junior year of high school back then? Don't remember. This piece is very red, classmates go home every day at noon to rush to watch, to know in our school, students study how hard ah, how time-consuming ah, but they still want to watch this, its degree of attention probably in those two years after the return of the Pearl Grid (the return of the Pearl Grid about one-half). So, I watched it too, but I wouldn't say it touched me much, except that I was particularly impressed with the part about listening to the sea on my cell phone on the beach. I was mostly annoyed by the back-and-forth, confused plot of the male and female protagonists, plus I didn't like Li Yapeng's looks at that point, and actually didn't like Xu Jinglei's looks either ...... seemed to feel a little better about the male and female characters.

When the TV version aired I was still in elementary school, third grade, when I thought Xu Jinglei was too good-looking! I also think Wang Xuebing is more handsome than Li Yapeng.
Watch the movie version of the time has been in France to study, on the Bordeaux good feeling burst, thinking of the future if there is a boyfriend to go with him to the big dunes, crazy run down.
After more than two years, really have a boyfriend, really and he went to Bordeaux, really and he stood on the big dune shouting we want to be together forever, really and he held hands from the top of the crazy run down.
It actually all really ended the same way! Except he got it on with a girl he met on the plane back home and I'm still in the same place

The touch wasn't much, but there was a lot of talk about it.
The beginning of the sophomore year, there were some manuscripts scattered in the classroom, blue ballpoint pen transcription, the big title is Love Follows, read a few lines, it seems to be a script, the lines are not very nutritious, so I threw it away.
After a few months, suddenly a popular youth drama was released, called Love to the end, some students watched a few times, said why this is so much like our classroom, the architecture students' homework is not our homework? And so the drama was watched by everyone throughout the year
The plot didn't have much of a memory, and the conclusion was that the movie was a lie, and that our shabby school looked a little too good for the camera, and every time we walked past a scene that appeared in the movie, we sometimes stopped and shook our heads and said, "It's still so shabby
Well, it's revealing the age of the people
