The Promise of Growing Up Together

Not bad, but could have been so much better

So, I was looking for something fluffy to watch and the first 19 episodes had a good pace with and great chemistry between the leads. There was suddenly a pot happening in the last 5 episodes which could have felt very cramped pace wise. The MLs character for most part of the show was upbeat and someone who would go after what they truly wanted. So, the shift in the later episodes felt sudden and not enough background to justify it. It does have a happy ending, which also felt very rushed. ML was a great fit for the school, but couldn't pull off looking older after the time jump. Just something they could have done better.

Major spoilers ahead!!!!

It surely has become one of the best cdrama after hidden love and when I fly towards you.
This drama is so cute. The way Ruo Xi looks at Xia Mi is so cute. He fell harder for her. He is such a sweetheart. OH MY GOD his smile is so good. Main leads chemistry was on point.
I felt bad for the Monitor throughout the series. He didn’t deserve that.
I don’t know why he ended up with Ruo Li. I thought she would feel guilty about her actions in later episodes but no she proved me wrong.
I just don’t like their end. Not every person deserves your forgiveness. The monitor shouldn’t have accepted her.
Every character in the series has their plus points. I really liked yu han’s character.
Some people will say that the male lead should have contacted her but the point of the later episodes was his struggle. Even if his mom’s surgery was successful, he still struggled financially. He wanted to be the best version of himself for Xia Mi. He wanted to fulfil that promise. He was frustrated with his life. He lost the phone charm as well which the female lead gifted him. Then after 2-3 years, he thought that she had moved on. He only realized that she hadn't when he read the script which she wrote.
In my opinion, it was a cute drama.
