don't think too much watch it nowwwwww
I usually don't write reviews but I had to for this one because it deserves all the appreciation and recognition.Being an avid cdramas and kdramas watcher I can gurantee you that this drama won't disappoint you. The acting, storyline, friend squad and especially the chemistry of main leads just makes this drama one of the best ones. I just cannot move on from the cuteness of everyone. I wish I could erase my memory and watch it again afresh. If you are still thinking whether to watch it or not then this is your sign to do so.

one of the cdrama that like but can't rewatch
They really pick the best actors/actresses, but something I don't like? It will be that Chen Xiao Xi is carefree and always makes trouble, to be honest every time Chen Xiao Xi got into trouble is that I always get secondhand embarrassment. But what I like the most is Jiang Chen always save her from the troubles she is making. Secondhand embarrassment is the reason why I can't rewatch it, and also I kind of don't like why Jiang Chen hides his feeling for Chen Xiao Xi. Good Drama!!! FR!! RECOMMENDED!!!!!Was this review helpful to you?

finished 7/11 through 7/16
CUTE!my first school/ slice of life cdrama and i really enjoyed it. chen xiao xi BEST GIRL! it was really cute from the beginning i liked all the dynamics between the characters my favorite part was the friend group i wish we got more scenes of all 5 together :( the only problem was i kinda got bored after the last couple episodes it was SLOW! and had to skip some parts bc what i liked originally from this show was how fast paced it was and how it was pretty much straight foward and feel like the writers kinda gave up in the end and dragged it a bit BUT!! and also the “love triangle” (tho idk if it would even be considered that bc the FL never liked the second love interest) and how the writers just HAD to bring up again after so many years have passed like??? nevertheless i found it enjoyable and the cinematography of this show is super underrated! chen xiao xi and jing xiao became one of my fav friendships after this <3

Fantastic chemistry with a slow burn romance
I LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH! I cannot get over this one, it is so well made. The chemistry between actors is so outstanding. I also think another big strength is the role of supporting characters- every single one added so much to the story, and the pure friendships were so heartwarming to watch.Please watch this drama, I cannot recommend it enough! But one thing I will say is that when I watched it on Netflix, I had English subtitles as aid, but listened to dialogue in Chinese. And comparing what the characters are saying to the subs made me realize that the quality of subtitles is not too good, and a lot of the humor and character of this drama is lost. I think this one will be best for viewers with at least intermediate understanding of Chinese and don’t have to rely completely on subtitles to understand.

Overall, this drama is similar to “Put Your Head On My Shoulder.” I definitely recommend watching this drama because of its cuteness. Also, at the end of most episodes for this drama, there’s a little scene that the each episode mentions that doesn’t show in the whole drama. I loved the persistence that the main girl lead has when it comes to chasing the main guy lead. I really like the soundtrack as well, especially the song "Small Precious" by Feng Jia Qi. This drama made me sad when it ended :(
After watching this drama, I also want to find a boyfriends like Hu Yi Tian as he is one of my favorite actors! I rewatched this so many times...UGH.
I recommend watching both dramas due to its cuteness and how the main guy lead seems to be protecting the main girl lead.
Super cute :)!

CUTEST SHOW EVER
If you're looking for a cute fluff romance, this. is. it. Actually though, my heart combusted so many times from the cuteness of this couple. I loved the whole high school arc, it was so adorable, but after they graduated the pacing of the show became a little wack. I still enjoyed the show because I loved the characters, but all of the time skips were all over the place, but we still had a happy ending I guess. The theme song was the cutest thing ever and perfectly described their relationship. I also really liked the side characters, but they did them dirty with their storylines. Overall it was a cute show that I really enjoyed!Was this review helpful to you?
A Love So Beautiful is worth watching It's an addiction & never overcome from this drama.
I'm not a drama or movie lover so for a person like me loving a drama is tuff but A love so beautiful makes that tuff job easy. I don't know how many times I watch this drama but I never get bored. The first Chinese drama I ever watch. The story, making, friendship, romance, simplicity, liveliness everything you will get in this drama. & The main leads Shen Yue & Hu Yi tian's chemistry was outstanding.I mean their level of acting & cuteness is too high. When I heard That A Love So Beautiful is Shen Yue & Hu Yi tian's First role as a lead character I was surprised their acting doesn't feel like 1st time they are playing as a lead character. Not only They are cute & handsome but also their level of acting touches people's souls forever. After watching so many times A Love So Beautiful still, I never get bored watching them whenever I get a clip of them I watch them & every time it put a smile on my face. I love to watch them again & again. They are not only good looking but also highly talented actor Actress. One thing for sure you can't touch the audience's soul with your good look & a good look is eye-catchy but Talent & acting touch & connect the audience's soul. Shen Yue & Hu Yi tian you touch our souls. I will remember you as Chen Xiaoxi & Jiang Chen for a lifetime. You give us a time travel by our youth & love you guys just live the character. Not only Shen Yue & Hu Yi tian but also all the side characters of A Love So Beautiful are awesome. It feels like those side leads made a wine glass & Shen Yue & Hu Yi tian is the wine of that glass. They are the person those make a simple story's depth so awsome & lively. I wish I hope to see them again in another drama. Shen Yue & Hu Yi tian Off & On cam their chemistry set everything on fire they are too good to see & yet so natural in their role they just portrait themselves & yes Shen Yue & Hu Yi tian you guys & your skill reach & touched our soul. I may short of words to describe their awesomeness we literally can feel them. And definitely after watching this drama, you will be going to rewatch it again.
And I believe when you are rewatching a drama again & again & never get bored of that then it means it's a masterpiece.

I see the appeal, but it wasn’t fully for me.
A Love So Beautiful is one of those dramas you hear about very early if you’re entering C-dramas. It’s popular, it’s loved by many, and at this point it’s basically a classic high school romance. You don’t even have to like it to admit its status.For me, though? It was more of an okay-ish watch than a favorite.
Let’s start with the main dynamic. The male lead spends a huge part of the show acting cold, distant, and emotionally unavailable, while the female lead is relentlessly, almost aggressively, in love with him. At first, I didn’t mind it — it felt like the usual setup. But as episodes passed, I started getting serious secondhand embarrassment from how hard she kept chasing someone who shut her down again and again.
And I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of the trope where the guy’s feelings only show up through jealousy after treating the girl poorly for half the drama. I know it’s meant to be romantic, but sometimes it just made me frustrated.
The time skip is another thing I’m conflicted about. Was it necessary? Probably not. But weirdly… I liked the characters more after it happened. They felt more mature, more aware, and the reunion had a sweetness that the high school portion sometimes lacked.
Now, positives — because there are some.
The drama absolutely maintains its vibe. It has that nostalgic, youthful, slice-of-life feeling that makes it comforting even when you’re annoyed. And I really loved the second lead and a part of me genuinely wished she would end up with him — he deserved better. I liked the second couple. Their storyline felt fresher, cuter, and even more engaging than the main romance.
I also have to admit, whenever the main leads were actually good together, they were really nice to watch. Those moments reminded me why people love this drama so much.
In the end, I understand why A Love So Beautiful is considered iconic. It captures young love in a way that sticks with people. It just didn’t always work for me personally. Still, I enjoyed parts of it, and the later versions of the characters — especially after the time skip — made the journey feel worth it.

its so beautiful ;-;
This is my hands down favorite drama EVER. I have watched it like 100 times and i always cry and laugh and smile with it. So this review might be biased BUT LISTEN TO ME. You need to give it a try. It is cheesy, very very very cheesy. Like pizza with quadruple cheese and then cheese lavored cheescake on top!! The acting is okay but thats not really important. What is important is that this drama makes you feel like you are in the story, that you are the main character. Shen Yue makes her character so relateable that I fell in love with her too. Not only that but its so wholesome and sometimes you get angry but you love everyone, even the mean characters. Its peak puppy love, if youre into cute annd funny and just overall really heartwarming and want to have a good cry with my BFF Chen Xiaoxi then I really really recommend this one!Was this review helpful to you?

Story: I watched this show after craving another similar to Playful Kiss, and I can't say it disappointed, in fact, this is the only show I have rewatched, and I continue to watch it to this day. The novel that this is based on is also amazing so the story of this show is definitely my favourite. I would definitely recommend it to people who are looking for a light-hearted show that pays off and makes the 24 episodes worth it. SPOILER: I just also need to add that this is one of the only shows in which I find the breakup period justifiable, and his confession scene is what attracts me to rewatching this show over and over again. The only thing that bothered me was that Wu Bosong likes Chen Xiaoxi more than he does in the novel and aims to sow discourse between the 2 main leads like every other second lead, making second lead syndrome HURT, but that's the only major issueActing: If you have doubts about this show I would warn the characters can become a tad annoying but the acting of these characters is amazing. Comparing the novel characters to the dramas shows very little to no faults in the acting
Music: 10/10 music, the intro is perfect and sets the tone for the show perfectly
Rewatch Value: As mentioned I have seen this show over and over again, and I usually hate rewatching shows but I never tire of this one
