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 vidaWas this review helpful to you?
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.Was this review helpful to you?
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!!!Was this review helpful to you?

THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER I WANNA CRY.
THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER I WANNA CRY. Everyone in this show had great acting skills (which is kinda uncommon in C-drama if you ask me), and the chemistry between all the characters was MWAHHHH their friendship is to die for😭😭 .This might seem like I'm being overdramatic or something but like really I've never been this invested in a C-drama before it quite literally hurt to finish, there's like a big gap in my heart in the form of this series, this was the missing puzzle from my life I love it so much.
NEVER SKIPPED A SCENE ( I lied I did skip once 😔)
I WAS SMILING THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAMN TIME.
10/10 would a 1000% reccomend.
It's gonna take me a while to move on from this and watch other series with the same actors in it cause I just cannot accept the fact that they're not besties and in love in real life I wanna throw up.
Okay bye. (PS: I rated music an 8 cause I don't pay attention to OSTs... oops, so take that one with a grain of salt)

the cutest drama!
if youre looking for something fluffy, cute, and happy, youve found the right show. the storyline is perfect for lifting your spirits, and the cast is perfect for their roles. the romance is adorable, and the coming of age high school story makes your heart content. even the romance between support characters is heartwarming and adorable.the problems never last for longer than two episodes, and each episode is on the shorter side, so its an easy watch.
id recommend this drama to anyone looking for a cute coming of age romance drama <3

One of Best Youth High-School Chinese Dramas to Watch
I REALLY LOVE THIS SHOW!At first, I did not expect this drama would be my interest because I felt like the plot was the same with all aired dramas in the past. But I was wrong! The story is interesting enough to keep going to next episode. The characters of FL and ML, even the friendship are also really great. The FL is a smart, cheerful, thoughtful person who I love the most, not the clingy, dumb, childish (thanks to the writer for a more mature FL character).
Beside their friendship, what I love the most is also the communication between our main couple. Since they are in high school, they have good understanding for each other so in their adult phase, they are compatible enough even though they are busy with their college and work.
Thanks for a healthy show, with healthy relationships that resulted in beautiful growth for each of them. Rewatching this later is definitely on the agenda! :)
PS: Based on this show, is it true that men and women can never be friends? Since there are two couple formed in this show HAHAHA XD

That one special mark will be always for you..?
If you want lots of drama, love triangles or misunderstandings that drag too long... look elsewhere.
If I had to use three words to describe this drama they would be soft, fluffy and heartwarming.
The best youth drama I have watched this year.
I have loved this show so much that I just couldn't help myself but write a review on how good this show is! And also, I am not a native English speaker, so please ignore grammar mistakes if I've made any.
Often times when I watch any show, I just care about the main couple and don't give a damn about whatever happens to the side couple/character(s), but here, it's a completely different story. I had the same amount of interest in every character's storyline.
The friend group — I adore the strong bond that they have among their group. They are the type of friends who are so silly yet so pure, who will pull your leg at any given chance but will not hesitate to stand by your side the in times of crisis.
Their relationship development was neither rushed nor too slow-paced.
So, if you love a good romantic youth/idol drama with a good storyline and great acting or you're feeling down and want to lighten up the mood or you're just looking for a good light hearted rom-com drama that you can binge on, then this drama is definitely for you!

I finished the story not because the romance but the friendship. Their friendship between them feels real. For the romance, it's not for me. I believe in relationship, relationship should have effort of 2 person not one person alone. But in this drama, FL is the one give her effort on that relationship. People keep saying ML so green forest because he is soft spoken but it doesn't feel that way. You know men typical where FL ignoring ML that's when ML feel lost, and that's what Rangrang does. The acting is quite good Was this review helpful to you?
