<p>[真的发展成] [男女朋友][玩的来][聊的开][那还是要过个一年半载][才能确定的]</p>

<p>the correct phrasing should be as follow:</p>

<p>"真的发展成玩的来、 聊的开的男女朋友, 那还是要过个一年半载才能确定的。"</p>

<p>The first sentence "真的发展成玩的来、 聊的开的男女朋友" (<em>to really develop into boyfriend-girlfriend relationship that you can play and talk freely with each other</em>) is the topic</p>

<p>The second sentence  "那还是要过个一年半载才能确定的。" (<em>that still need a year or so before you can be sure</em>) is the comment/opinion</p>

Good answer; however, instead of calling your rewriting a "correct phrasing", I would just say that the quoted passage in the question is a literal transcription from speech to text, while your rewriting is the proper way to express the idea in writing. @user2137196, spoken Chinese put character-for-character in writing misses out essential information such as body language or mood cues, and you'll have to extrapolate what these are when you read such passages.

[真的发展成] [男女朋友][玩的来][聊的开][那还是要过个一年半载][才能确定的]

the correct phrasing should be as follow:

"真的发展成玩的来、 聊的开的男女朋友, 那还是要过个一年半载才能确定的。"

The first sentence "真的发展成玩的来、 聊的开的男女朋友" (*to really develop into boyfriend-girlfriend relationship that you can play and talk freely with each other*) is the topic

The second sentence "那还是要过个一年半载才能确定的。" (*that still need a year or so before you can be sure*) is the comment/opinion
