If you want a fluffy, heartwarming and relaxing watch!
I´m not over exaggerating when I say that I was never this happy and bubbly while watching a drama as I was when watching this one.I literally CONSUMED every episode and I never got bored while watching. All of the actors did an amazing job at portraying their characters and the chemistry was just amazing!
I´ve never watched such an excellent youth drama. I was in awe with how good and wholesome the friendship was portrayed between the main characters. The relationship between the main and second couple where also very cute and heartwarming where you just have to pause to scream and giggle into your pillow because you can´t handle the cuteness.
Even though this was a typical high school youth drama like many others, never did WIFTY feel boring or too cliche.
This was a very refreshing watch and it will forever have a warm place in my heart.

Friends to Lovers: where you grow together
One of the best modern cdramas that I have watched so far with friends to lovers trope. Our ML is the smartest person in the room, and our FL is head over heels for him. But he is not your typical dorky boy who ignores everyone and thinks that he is the smartest person in the room, even though he is. He is kind, caring, notices things, follows through his promises, and a very reliable friend to all of his friends. He shows his feelings, speaks when required to let her know that she is special and you can always count on him. Meanwhile, she supports him fully, sometimes even at the cost of being wrong. She is not someone who needs saving, she just needs a stage to shine. She is full of life, and again a very reliable friend. This drama is their journey of loving themselves first and then loving each other, to growing old together. Its a must watch for anyone who is craving for a good story and just needs some happiness in their dull lives. Its a 100/10 and I have rewatched it 5 times already!!Was this review helpful to you?

MY COMFORT DRAMA
Wifty is literly my all time favorite drama, whenever you need to feel loved just watch this and you are literly gonna be wraped around with cuteness and love . To be honest its so cute where the main leads are so cute together, to also add they really did not forget about the second main actress and actors as they also have their own romance and story line. High school dramas has never felt this good to watch and to wish that you had their friend group is so unreal. About their friend group it is like a dreamy group as they spent their youth together until all of them has found a good university and graduated, they always sticked together and help each other up. REALLY RECOMENDWas this review helpful to you?
The perfect cdrama
I don't know why I have been holding off on watching this cdrama cuz it is literal perfection. It's not dramatic, it doesn't rely on tropes or plot twists to grab the audiences attention, but it delivers the romance of youth in a way that warms your heart and lingers there long after you've finished the drama. I can see this becoming my comfort cdrama and a constant rewatch because its short, sweet, and so wholesome. No literally nothing is more wholesome than su zaizai and shang lurang.Their relationship had me kicking my feet, giggling, all the butterflies in my stomach like it hurts my head how cute these two were. Everybody in this show is good looking but there's something bout Zhou Yiran's dimples that makes me lose my mind every time he smiles. I love how zaizai was able to bring that out of him. She loved him so unconditionally and unwavering like everyone deserves a zaizai in their life. But more than anything, I love her she wasn't fragile. When people tried to come for her she stood her ground and I rarely see that out of cute, bubbly female leads. She was nice but she sure as heck wasn't a pushover and I adore her for that. I love the way she warded of girls who were tryna get her man like she is not ashamed to be like "my man my man my man" cuz rly that is HER man.
Rang rang was also down BAD for my girl. He can play nonchalant all he wants but my guy was a simp. One thing I rly loved about lurang was while he was indifferent at times, he was never rude. A lot of times , in kdramas and cdramas, the popular guy treats the female lead like dirt and that to me was never attractive so I rly appreciated that lurang respected zaizai and didn't bully her becuz he couldn't process his emotions properly. I also loved the depth to his character, we get to see his relationship with his parents and how that rly strained his relationship with his brother. I absolutely abhor parents who pit their children against each other. To have such blatant favoritism for one kind and absolutely disregard the other is disgusting. I really wanted to see someone confront his mother(particularly the uncle lin) cuz she was doing way too much and needed a wake up call cuz the way she was acting wasn't benefitting anyone and was only hurting the children she claims to care about. Still glad lurang and his brother were able to rebuild their relationship despite their parents, and zaizai was there to heal those parts of lurang that his parents and society broke.
While lurang's parents pmo, his friends however were such good side characters. I love when side characters have their own distinct characters and aren't just there to prop up the main couple then given generic and shallow storylines. Guan Fang was my favorite side character, his whole storyline was so impactful, his growth is admirable, and in many ways he is the glue of the friend group. Gu ran too like even though they were both jokesters, the writers took their time to ground their characters and give them a solid background. I related to jiang jia loving someone and learning to let them go. Everyone of them was so integral to the enjoyment of the show.
The entire cast was amazing, definitely gonna be checking out Yiran's other shows cuz his dimples r my new favorite thing. Zhang Miaoyi has made a stan out of me. Her and esther yu r so effortlessly and naturally cute, but I can see it in this show that just like esther, miaoyi can really eat up a more serious role. I saw people say she was just cute and a mid actor, but I strongly disagree, because while at face value su zaizai might be a simple character, I felt like miaoyi brought so much life to her in a way no one else rly could. Her acting ability was very apparent in this show and I will be watching all of her stuff and praying she gets bigger roles and gains more popularity domestically.
All that said, love this show, love the romance, nothing like a wholesome youth drama to make me feel like life is worth the living. Highly recommend.

highschool ain't like this
I desperately want a love like this that it is not funny anymore. I love these actors so much. The casting was so perfect. The music was also so bubbly and adorable to my ears. I have watched this twice already because of how happy they make me feel. It is also very realistic. I started crying because I could relate to how Rang Rang's younger brother felt. I will def rewatch with my friends next time because I am still enjoying my youth. I loved how camera clips were utilized because it added to the youth theme and aesthetic, which is perfect for this drama. The whole friend group filled me with so much joy at how much they cared for one another. I love when the main couple and side couple are top tier in their own ways. <3Was this review helpful to you?

pleasant & slow paced turned into tedious & bland
Slow paced, easy going , low drama series that would have been better as a 16 episode drama . Issues get resolved quickly & I found myself smiling foolishly without realizing it. However, every time the female lead bared her teeth in her rabbity grimace of a smile, I wanted to look away. It was not endearing. I had hoped that it was affected and simply good acting, so the smile would evolve into a more mature lovely smile as the character aged; but, no it remained .There were some tedious episodes that I had no patience for. A hole episode about a sick grandmother. Touching, but boring. Episodes of college life with everyone fawning over leads, hoping to lure them away from each other were uninteresting for the most part.Life after college was not interesting either and they inserted a time skip of a year or more. I was wondering what the rating warning about sexual violence was about and it shows up around episode 22 , but it is a boss hitting on a female employee, which was creepy but not graphic. The second leads were very cute. The feel of the second half of the series was a bit bland, that it felt like they were rehashing things, replicating similar moments, just stretching the series out with mundane things that it was over without any wahoo. the proposal was bland & sedate, the wedding was a short montage , then there was there life after marriage. yawn. Cute is only cute for so long when it's in a fish bowl & the fish just go round & round !OST is something I don't usually rave about, but this soundtrack was spot on, it really matched well & I was impressed, especially with the Funky 60's beach boys-ish steel guitar song by Attic performance Paige Summer's 2021 . the first 1/2 of the drama has you feeling like you're dreamily floating down a lazy river on a sunny day, the second half looses the sweet buzz and is like standing in line at the fair, waiting for something to happenWas this review helpful to you?
Best Drama Ever
Love Love Love it. Not even kidding i have been watching dramas since 10 years way before dramas were famous but this is my no.1 favourite. I was not a fan of rewatch but this drama ufff i rewatched it for 7 times still not bored. This drama is my comfort drama , Main characters are so cute and not cringe. Female lead is funny , she makes me laugh not cringe. My rangrang is so handsome and cute in this drama i am unable to watch him with others. I want a boyfriend like rangrang. Ofcourse i relate to suzaizai. Both of them are my favourites no misunderstanding no love triangle no unnecessary drama everything is so perfect. Second leads are too good , their story has separate fanbase , I love how the makers handled side characters as well. Well everything is so good , please give it a try.Was this review helpful to you?
Softest fluffiest
It is such a cute, soft, fluffy drama.🥰 If you just want an easy watch with the cutest interactions, this is it! Their love stories is so cute and their bonds and friendships are shown so preciously. It has humor, puppy love, and heartbreaking moments. oh the butterflies in my stomach!!! I watched the entire thing in one day. Zhou Yi Ran’s dimples are the CUTEST THING EVER!! Zhang Miao Yi is amazing and precious. If you liked her in exclusive fairytale, you need to watch her in this!!! ITS A MUST WATCH!!Was this review helpful to you?
Ultimate Comfort Drama
This entire show was beginning to end so sugary sweet it's amazing that the viewing audience isn't given immediate diabetes. This story follows the main leads as well as their friend group from their first year of high school through university, entering the work force and ultimately marriage and having a child by the last episode. It made for an experience where each and every episode my lips were unconsciously smiling or even giggling.As for the relationships, you could not go wrong with either RangRang OR Gu Ran as your life partner. Both showed complete devotion and I just wish we'd also been shown Gu Ran proposing but we just have to be content knowing it was literally only a simple matter of finding a "proper" time.

Great drama!!!
I really enjoyed this drama! I saw clips of it on TikTok and had to check it out, plus i was watching another drama at the same time with the same FL. My favorite part about this drama was not even the romance, it was the friend group (ESPECIALLY GU RAN). I really enjoy simple dramas with a good storyline and characters! Also i'm so happy they didn't kill off the grandma because I really enjoyed her character! The only thing that made me mad in this drama was RangRang's mother, smh - I dont know what is up with Chinese dramas and giving the male leads terrible moms. I wanted to come through the screen a couple of times , and I didn't like how we didn't really get a resolve with it , it got swept under the rug :(10/10 would recommend!

My first drama, and the MOST comforting
The only reason why I started watching c-dramas was because I came across a clip from this drama in YouTube Shorts 😭. It's a good thing that I did, because if not, I wouldn't start watching c-dramas AT ALL.The drama is relatively fluff. For me honestly, it's kid-friendly level. The only thing that's a bit inappropriate is the ONE drinking scene and the kissing scenes.
That's honestly IT. I did find Su Zai Zai a bit annoying though, not only because of her high pitch voice, but her actions.
