Synopsis
"One and a Half Summer" tells the story of a young man named Zhang Hao (Nichkhun) searching for the love of his life that he met in Santorini during a vacation to Greece. Believing that he was destined to be with this mysterious woman, he went all the way to China from New York City just to find this mystery girl named Luo Man. However when Zhang Hao goes to Nanyang University, he found out that the "Luo Man" (Xu Lu) he was searching for was perhaps another woman whom he never knew before.
At Nanyang University, Zhang Hao meets and befriends Luo Man's band-mate Li Xiuqi (Jiang Jinfu), Ma Juncai, Wen Tingting, and Wang Minqiang. He also finds out that the mystery woman he has searching for is Shu Qing (Yu Wenwen), who was already engaged at the time. Zhang Hao was deeply saddened after being rejected by Shu Qing, but nevertheless learned to move on as time passed by.
Through their encounters, Zhang Hao and Luo Man fell in love. This causes tension between Zhang Hao and Li Xiuqi, Luo Man's childhood friend and secret admirer occurs. Zhang Hao decides to give way for Li Xiuqi, but soon realizes that he could not hide his feelings. Just as Zhang Hao was about to confess his love for Luo Man, his mom called him to go back to New York.
After their final band performance, Zhang Hao revealed that he was leaving. Luo Man, upon hearing this, was especially hurt. One year later, a gathering was held at Santorini where everyone except Luo Man attended. It was told that Luo Man traveled across various countries, leaving her school friends behind. While Zhang Hao was talking to Li Xiuqi, he coincidentally sees Luo Man walking at the beach front.
The final question is: who will Luo Man choose in the end?
