The best youth drama!!

This is extremely good! It has become the best youth drama for me. Very light, wholesome, relaxing, such a beautiful and peaceful love story. They have the healthiest relationship, their love is so pure. ML and FL are so cute together. They have an amazing chemistry, it felt real and the cast is adorable. I love it when she says Rang Rang, so sweet! I’m excited to rewatch it on Viki, just waiting for all the episodes to be released.
I highly recommend it. It’s beautifully made, well directed, good script, no unnecessary, dragged plots and the whole cast is lovable. I will be revisiting this series over and over again. I love it so much. Watching it gives me so much joy.

Beautiful Romance Drama. Perfection.

The Male Lead of the show was good with great character development with his brother and the people around him, he was enjoyable to watch, a silent character done well that has a great personality. The Female Lead was also a great character and very enjoyable to watch with her bubbly character and outgoing personality. The supporting cast was also incredibly good the main group consisting of 5 splendid characters each with their own issues and upbringings. The Grandma of this show added emotion to this show and added a lot of real-life situations. The parents of Gu Ran also added a feel of what it feels like to not have parents at home all the time due to them being busy but also having an understanding of that and still loving them. The show's pacing was incredibly good and while most dramas have terrible pacing these days these show episodes always leave you wonderfully joyful as each episode is incredibly great and moves the drama forward. The show also isn't as long as other C Dramas as it's only 24 episodes and each one is 30 minutes long. Although it isn't very long it perfectly fulfills what the show needs to be in terms of length.

Some additional but extremely great highlights of the show were the production. The OST was very memorable and noticeable, typically when I watch dramas the OSTs aren't something I really remember after the show except for a few exceptions but this one was very memorable. The Camera features one of my favorites as it added a lot of depth to this show it has the pictures saying Cam and the sound getting worse to signify that it's a camera recording making it genuinely feel like it was a camera recording of the characters and was one of my favorite features of the show. Sadly they removed it towards the end of the show but it was most likely because they were now out of college which is understandable. Nonetheless, it's these small features that add a new layer to the show and I think this is a great watch.

Overall this is one of the best dramas I've ever watched due to the depth, production, story, characters, character development, pacing, and minor details that add a lot to the story. Definitely a 10/10. I 100% would recommend it. This year has been really great for Chinese Dramas it seems.

Fluffiest couple ever

Beautiful portrayal of Youth, great story telling, beautiful aesthetics and soundtrack…what’s not to like? Plus the final was really sweet, cried so hard watching his proposal…they love each other so much!!

Sunflower and sunshine trope, ML is not a jerk and the second couple has a decent storyline 👍🏻 and the squad has the best chemistry!!! Can’t get over their friendship, these five people will make you want to go back to your adolescent and experience it all again…very nostalgic

Highly recommended

BEST ROMANCE CDRAMA TO DATE ><

I’ve been a serial drama watcher since 2016 from dramas to Jdramas, I’ve watched them all and I haven’t watched a drama that’s had me glued to my seat due to being in love with every aspect of this show!!!! The leads and and sub leads did their parts perfectly and there wasn’t anything TOO cringey that would have made me skip through some parts. 10/10 would rewatch and would recommend to anyone who likes a cute romance. And I love that is was a slow burn but it was just the right amount of slow and not too many misunderstandings and what misunderstandings there was, were resolved mostly in that same episode. One last thing that I lived for was the time skips. I love a good time skip and they did multiple just right and it didn’t leave me confused on where we was at😂😂

BEST CDRAMA OF 2023❤️❤️❤️❤️

About the acting

This drama became my one of the most favourite drama all the time. I don't know why i had missed this masterpiece and i absolutely loved it. If any one wants to change their style on watching i will recommend this one as it was a very cute, friendship and romantic drama. This drama made a great impact on my way of thinking and i loved it. Now, well may be i also need that type of boyfriend. Go and watch this drama and the cast was superb. loved this, especially music.
WOW....... And mainly I can't overcome from it well, my parents had suggested me to leave this country and move to china that we can't bear you.

te amo wifty

habia terminado de ver hidden love y me dio curiosidad ver wifty ya que muchos lo recomendaban, al inicio note que habia algo diferente a comparación de otros cdramas, es verdad que se me hizo un poco lenta y por eso lo deje en el cap 14 y lo retome unas semanas despues, pero yo no sabia que se iba a convertir en mi drama comfort, absolutamente hermoso en todo el drama. es un 10/10 por que me hizo muy feliz verla, ame que cada personaje haya tenido su propia historia, nunca me voy a cansar de recomendarlo. te amo rang rang te amo su zai zai ls amo a todos me salvaron la vida

This is for the people who like wholesome dramas without any tedious conflicts

So you might think from the headline that I'd give this a solid 8-10 rating, right? No, that's not the case, but I don't by any means think this is a bad drama. For me it's just an ordinary drama and I know people are gonna disagree with me given that the average rating on MDL is a 9.1.

LIKES
-There was zero toxicity in their friendships / relationships. And I know that seems the bare minimum, but it happens quite frequently. I do have to say that I don't particularly hate toxicity. I could even love it if they have the chemistry (*cough cough* Doona!)
-Even though Su Zai Zai has a very bubbly demeanor, she isn't naive, nor stupid and stands up for herself.
-WIFTY'S SIGNATURE SONG
-I found it really refreshing to see the girl chasing the guy instead of the other way around. WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF THAT. Also, some women say they don't like the girl chasing the guy. Imo, that screams internalized misogyny
-The beach episode!
-Gu Ran's confession to Jiang Jia. Damnnnn. He has a way with words
-It makes you want to have the same kind of friend group

DISLIKES
-The last few episodes. Yes, it was a happily ever after. That's good. However, it was so... unnecessary. Sometimes we don't need writers to add whole episodes about the characters after high school when their story already ended IN high school. It makes the ending feel rushed. Sometimes we just need a SHORT clip of them as adults. Nothing more, nothing less. And maybe let Guan Fang finally have a girlfriend (Guan Fang was my favorite)
-As much as I loved the main couple, why was she still acting like a child as a grown woman? AND THEN SHE GOT PREGNANT? I genuinely had a jumpscare. Another reason why the ending was rushed
-I prefer character-driven stories. This was not one of them. A few characters were given backstories. but they did close to absolutely NOTHING with those backstories
-Why did we get sad backstories / life stories from ONLY the boys in their friend group?? Why didn't we see one of the girls struggling with a hardship? That gives me the impression that the author of the original novel likes writing about 'broken' boys. And girls can't have any flaws in their lives of course! Su Zai Zai's life was too perfect. Even Guan Fang and Gu Ran had a backstory. I think that says a lot
-Their friendship felt too perfect. There wasn't any messiness
-Jiang Jia liking Gu Ran felt sudden. She never showed it. Not even a subtle sign

Overall, not a bad drama. I just wish it had more depth in it

Partners and Friends for Life.


I watched this and expected lot of tropes and fluff...but boy, was I wrong. This drama skyrocketed on the top of my fave youth dramas. The story and the acting was just perfect.

I liked and loved watching all 5 of them grow up. The friendship of GF LR ZZ JJ and GR made me realize how relationships formed through being the good and the bad and everything in between makes the bond of friendship beautiful, nostalgic, and perfect.

The story was paced well. It never felt rushed despite the fast track from senior high to college to their adult life.

Likes:
-ZZ and LR - After the cp of one and only and forever and ever. These two are the healthiest couple in cdramaland. Since they were friends to til when they were in a relationship, they have no misunderstandings, defined goals as individuals and as a couple, they literally grew up together.
-GR and JJ - the typical enemies to friends to lovers, they bicker like cats and dogs but when one is in need the other is there. Their love story developed late but didn't feel rushed at all.
-GF and Granny - was so happy the writer didn't give him a love story bit his character embodied a filial grandson and good friend. A third wheel to his friends that are a couple.
Granny is a friend to these kids. She imparted very good advice and slice of life words to all of them.

Dislike:
LR parents - their favoritism towards LR younger brother ruined the brothers relationship. If the younger brother didn't stand up to them and runaway would LR still suffer from their mistreatment The brother wanted a relationship with his LR but because of them LR became wary of his own brother. I hated them.
YZX - that classmate who kept on trying to set up and ruin ZZ. She should have been expelled after all that.

If it wasn't for LR parents would have scored this a 10

24 eps is just enough but felt like it was not enough.

I like the last voice over:

LR: "If fate could have told me in advance that I would meet such a person could I have chosen to meet her a little earlier?...It was like a hint that my light was coming."
ZZ: "It was that glance, just that quick glance that brought ius together for life. So precisely.


The ost is so good and it fit the drama and the lyrics are just perfect for the moments they were played for.

Definitely a must rewatch.

It makes me reminisce my youth days.

This series is so refreshing. As a young adult, it helps me reminisce my youth days. I have the same timeline with the story where it all started in 2012. I love the plot, the progress of the story and the cinematography. The actors were great into portraying their characters. The lead couple is flowing with natural chemistry. Not only the couple, but I love each characters. I also love the OST at the beginning and ending. It was so classic. Moreover, I also love that the conflicts were easily solved and the director didn't go with unnecessary dramas. It is not outstretched. It's a simply masterpiece.

Honest review

I don’t really know what to say about it other then it IS worth the watch, it’s supper good, it’s a bit slow at first but the mains characters help me through it. It just ended but rewatched it again . Gu ran and jiang Jia side story was so fun to watch. It is coming out age and it was fun with all the different backgrounds of each character, Guan feng’s story got me. I felt for him. Happy they all got happy ending. The only thing I would like was a bit more of luli’s (rangrangs brother) life. WISH FOR A SEASON 2!!!

coming of age cdramas are saur superior it’s crazy and now i think i have withdrawal
