Always Home

Better than a lot of recent school dramas

I would say a strong contender for one of the better school dramas that I have watched. The story line was solid with really good acting by the cast.

They dabbled between heartwarming, mellow and slow burn romance which I really appreciated. Overall a great enjoyable watch. It was really fresh how they didn’t make the leads better and mightier than all just because they are leads, they had their own issues and faults which made them a better person. Little details and narrations were really well done and they delved deeper into the parents storylines which made it so much more wholesome. Definitely give it go if you are looking for something to cry and relate hard to.

My New All-Time Favorite Comfort Drama

I stumbled upon this drama randomly after looking for a show that would give me similar vibes to WIFTY. I'm so glad I gave Always Home a chance because it blew my expectations! The story and characters had a perfect balance of wholesomeness and realism with adorable moments mixed in with serious life lessons. The main leads are what made this drama so enjoyable as their dynamic was so fun to watch. I love how this drama rose above the cliches and tropes and gave us a healthy and meaningful relationship. I feel like we never get to see slow-burns like this anymore! If you're considering watching Always Home, I highly recommend.

I genuinely believe that if you're in high school, college, or simply feeling like you don't know where you life is headed, you should watch it.

This show is about this group of friends in high school, navigating their life. It depicts the lives of these friends who live close by and how they help each other. The three main characters are so well written. From their family backstory, struggles of a student/athlete, how to fit in, having crushes, academics, family pressure, and what to do after high school. etc.

Once they graduated high school, that's where the real story begins! It's also not just all fun and games, there real scenes that hits you hard. One of Huan Er's roomates goes back to her hometown, they say how some live ordinary lives despite their potential. Xi Chi is having a hard time with work. Qi Qi moving abroad, They tackle life struggles people have, issues that the viewers may relate to.

The last episode were the characters from their high school and talk about life. Some are successful, studying, navigating life.

I'm still on the restaurant

👍

I watched a lot of school dramas in Chinese, and some of them have similar storylines. But I knew that each one would always be unique in some aspect. When I started watching 'Always Home,' I couldn't help but continue watching. I didn't think it would turn out to be so good, let alone one of the best. I picked this drama because of one of the actors, who played a role in another drama I enjoyed, and I wanted to see more of his work. As it turns out, he's one of the main leads in this drama.

I must say, this drama is really good. It explores how our lives change, and we often forget the good things that happened in our past, especially during our school days. However, something can trigger memories of the past, and even if our surroundings change, the memories remain. Even if our house is torn down or our favorite snacks are no longer available, it's okay as long as we have a way back home. And in life, there's always a way to get back on track.

If you're reading this and want to watch the drama based on my review, I can assure you that it stands out. It teaches us to cherish the moments we have and make decisions that matter. When the drama talks about 'home,' it's not just about the physical structure or furniture, but about something we all seek - love, memories, and happiness. Watching 'Always Home' won't disappoint you; it'll teach you valuable lessons. Although it's a romance, it shows us that life can be better if we choose to be happy, even if it's just for a moment.

A refreshing and wholesome youth drama with the greenest flag characters.

I finally finished watching it, and now I'm sad. I didn't think i'd love this drama so much. The storyline was so refreshing and sweet. The main three characters ' song cong, jing xichi, and chen huan' er' are three of the best characters I've ever seen. They all had distinct personalities but somehow they fit each other so well.
I really enjoyed watching their journey from high schoolers to working life.
The relationship b/w xichi and huan'er is one of the best in C-dramas. Their chemistry was so natural, the way they supported e/o through everything was truly a treat to watch.
I wished song cong would end up with du man. They had great chemistry.
Overall, they delivered everything and ended on a very good note.

A Heartfelt Masterpiece

It's been so long since I've been this glued to a drama! Always Home is such a beautiful and touching story that I genuinely didn’t want it to end. I could have easily watched more because this wasn’t just about school life—it was about the journey of growing up, the struggles and love of family, and those small but meaningful steps in life.

One of the standout performances for me was from Xi Chi (who I remember from Falling Into Your Smile). I completely fell in love with his character here—he's the definition of a green flag! His relationship with Huan Er was one of the most innocent and beautifully developed romances I’ve seen in a long time. Their love felt so pure, built on trust, care, and genuine understanding. And Huan Er herself was such a sweetheart—her warmth and kindness made her character truly shine.

Then there’s Song Cong, an SML that I absolutely adored! I was beyond happy that he and Qi Qi didn’t end up together. Qi Qi was such a baseless character for me—selfish yet selfless in all the wrong ways. She never even tried to understand others, whether in friendships or relationships. But Song Cong and Du Man? Now that’s a pair I’m rooting for! They have real depth, mutual understanding, and a bond that just makes sense.

Gosh, I’m really going to miss this show. It’s a 10/10 from me and an absolute must-watch!

This drama was good light hearted drama ❤️

First i didn't wanted t watch ,then i liked the main lead from sweet teeth and falling in to your smile he is a cute gentleman and I like high school dramas too

This drama has 2 couple leads ,i liked the main one for sure they are like always tom and jerry and she is a cutie and he is always irritate her ina good way and do things for her in silently.she was the first one who fall in love with him and he fell harder then I like this genre so much like hidden love ,wifty etc .the second lead not in my likings and they don't endup together too because the girl go to pursue her career abroad and get a boyfriend there and the boy likes a girl in his medical field too so that's okay to me they didn't had chemistry from first to end so I don't have any problem and I liked jing xichi and chen huan er more they are really good couple and have chemistry.

If you like highschool drama go for it it's really good
