BEST YOUTH SERIES FOR ME THIS YEAR!!!
I usually tend to be quite picky with highschool or youth themed dramas because I tend to find them a bit repetitive but this was everything I wished and hoped for...having watched two favourite youth series from the same director I definitely had my hopes high and guess what!Each and every one of them was met🤗
The plot was light yet had such depth to it, the story was nostalgic and emotional but at the same time funny and the Dialogue was literally everything...the youth and friendship moments were highlighted perfectly and most of the times relatable, I cried, laughed and giggled with them..it was a consistent plot which didn't include any unnecessary plots but just centred around the main characters, growth character development,relationships, friendship, emotions and life.
The characters were so good each one of them fit their role, I loved the female lead and how gutsy and brave she could be most of the times, I admired how her character was written..Male lead was shy and an introvert for a change most are but he won me over without even saying much,the other characters were amazing too..my fav support role was Guan Feng I loved how he stood out despite only appearing a few times on screen...the cast did an amazing job in potraying their characters.
The chemistry between the leads and our second couple..the leads had that cite type of chemistry that had me giggling and kicking my feet most of the times and most of the times I would complain about extra couples but our second couple in this was everything..they had chemistry, I didn't cringe one bit and their story line had an actual impact to the story...loved both our couples.
The osts and cinematography was everything, her recording their moments with a cam corder was nostalgic and the cinematography was dreamy like..the osts were amazing..each one of them tbh...❤️
I can't find actual complaints about this series, except say that I loved each and every episode and how it just kept getting better and better...loved the story flow to the characters to the osts and cinematography I loved everything.
If you looking for a nice light hearted fun youth series then this is it...🤍

Cute and sweet
This is one really sweet drama that would probably give you a tooth ache.Su zai a teenager persuaing her crush whomis extremely reserved and quiet, i love the friendship growth and how they helped each other and grew with each other.
The love between zhu and zai was sweet and he did become unreserved and the best part there was no unnecessary drama or cat fight just sweet love moments and joy all around.
They were times she was a bit annoying it very sweet way.
Overal a good watch but too babish me

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.

HOPELESS ROMANTIC
This drama makes me want to fall in love! I feel fuzzy and warm but also motivated! It’s just so pure and beautiful. I really wish I could rewatch this again for the first time. It’s a definite MUST WATCH at least once in your life, even if you’re not the biggest fan or romance or slow burn.Not only is this show fun to watch, it also has drama, an amazing plot, and very teenage/coming of age moments that are also very dreamy and filmed very well. I love the film and recorded aspect of it, it makes me want to record my life often too. It makes me feel hopeful, even now when things feel hopeless.
Sometimes I don’t mind being a Hopeless Romantic.

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.
