ONE OF THE BEST YOUTH DRAMAS OF THE YEAR!!
I wasnt really expecting much from this drama when I started watching it but it turned out to be GREAT! I've re-watched it for the 3rd time now. HAHAHHAHA. I knew Siyue's actor from The Handsome Siblings, he was amazing there btw; while this is the first time im seeing Rainbow in a drama. Though I think she could still be better, I believe she did well as Ding Xian. Supporting actors and actresses were amazing too. What I liked most in this drama is their character. He wasnt that cliché genius, cold, perfect dude; and she wasnt that usual sunny, blabbermouthed, friendly, sometimes clumsy classmate. The story-telling was okay. Neither slow burn nor fast-paced. The OSTs, chef's kiss. Especially, during flashbacks and sweet moments. Anyway, this drama is a must-watch and re-watch :)Was this review helpful to you?

A must watch drama
After a long time feeling bad for finishing the drama. At least another 6 episodes was expected. A heart touching drama with too emotional.Both ML and FL are really did their job well and both are too good looking and have very good chemistry. Especially the FL her acting skills are way beyond my expectations and her cute smile is soo refreshing. I must appreciate the whole crew who worked for this drama, all characters did their job well, they contributed their full talent.
Key points:- No negative characters, fair love challenge, no too much controversies, cute and heart touching love story and too sentimental final episodes.

a rare 10 for me.
Very sweet high school to college story about desk mates who ultimately fall in love. Seen many high school dramas. This is slow paced but doesn't drag and not boring. My first time watching FL actress. She does a wonderful job. ML actor is obviously very talented -- I have seen him in several shows and he hits it out of the park every time. Secondary cast did a nice job for what they were given. Not to say it wasn't good, but the primary cast is the reason to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best youth drama!
Started to watch this with zero expectations since I've never heard/known any of the casts before and it turned out to be one of my fav drama ever. The plot kind of reminded me of my high school days. I loved the cast and ost the most. I'm actually quite surprised with the ML, not only he's good looking but also natural in acting. The chemistry between the leads is really good and their matching fits are the cutest. I would love to see them in the same project again. I do totally recommend this for those who like light, sweet and fluffy romance. It will warm you heart no doubt! Worth watching, definitely 10/10.Was this review helpful to you?

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
The drama makes you want to go back and experience first love, what I love from this drama they started as hating each other. The more you hate the more you love. Then the reality that once you experience hardship in life you can't concentrate just what happened to Zhou Siyue. I'm still wishing this drama to have more episodes, been watching this drama everyday.Din Xian portrays the typical girl in love, and she knows too where too stop. The story is so cute and the cast, I wish to Chen Gege and Rainbow another drama, their chemistry is out of this world. I'm a person who easily ship a pair in a drama but once I get hooked with them it means I can sense chemistry. Their acting is so real, even the supporting roles, you will love their story too.

I don't like the main character (boy) role. I like this drama
I don't like that fanzhixin support role.I think that fanzhixin is the main role. Fanzhixin is best for main role and main character.
I like this story and acting. But the main role character (boy) role I don't like. Main role character (girl) is acting is good and fanzhixin acting. Fanzhixin acting is awesome.

fav youth cdrama of all time
This drama is absolute perfection. From the first episode I was HOOKED, the storyline and pacing are amazing. Male lead is a total golden retriever energy, zero coldness to the female lead. I love that they went from somewhat enemies, to friends, to lovers. this is slow burn done right, throughout their high school years despite them not dating I still felt all the fluff and butterflies I’d feel watching them as a couple. The buildup to their relationship after they went to college is truly incredible, totally worth waiting 19 episodes for them to become a couple! I could gush about this drama forever bc it’s just so good and I’ve yet to find another drama to compare, I’ve actually dropped a few recently and just rewatched our secret instead.Was this review helpful to you?
So sweet and addictive
Things I adored:1 The ML. I don't know how to express how great an actor I think he is. After Hidden Love I just fell in love with him and he didn't disappoint here either. He speaks with his eyes. No matter what I write I only can say that I just love him.
2 Her father. Such a great character and he reminded me of my dad when he showed how much he respected her choices and how much he cared. It made me miss my dad even more.
3 The second couple. I just adored them. So sweet and funny. I'm happy with the ending.
4 The whole high school years. It was such a great period. I felt everything they felt. The stress, the hope, the disappointment, the friendships, the joy.
5 Their relationship during these years. Just seeing him help with her backpack made my day each time.
Things I loved:
1 Their math prof. I truly though he was a great teacher and an even greater person. I had some great professors and I still miss my school days when I think of them.
2 The university years. I didn't love them as much as the high school years but I still loved them. There were some great moments, funny, sweet, heartbreaking.
3 His parents. I think both were great characters and it's good how they showed that sometimes problems arise without anyone be responsible. Just a few bad decisions and we are at the end of the precipice. I'm happy with how it turned out.
4 The ending. I loved that he went abroad, that she found her own path.
5 The FL character. I loved that she decided to stay back and follow her dream. I loved that she didn't know what she wanted, because that's how reality is for most young people at this age. That she was honest but also brave enough to say stop when it didn't work after he rejected her. I loved that she was an artist.
6 The SML. He made some mistakes that made me dislike him for a few episodes, but he redeemed himself and he was a good person for most of the series. Also he is handsome which, yes counts.
Things I liked:
1 The FL. I can't say I loved the actress. I loved the character, but the actress didn't do it for me. Maybe it was that sometimes she reminded of a ten years girl and that didn't work for me. I also founded her a bit unnatural. At the same time, I did like her enough to continue the series whilst when I dislike one of the main leads I drop the series. I just can't go as far as saying that I loved her.
2 The third couple. I didn't care enough but it was okay. I didn't dislike them, they just didn't have enough time for me to fall in love with them.
3 Her friends at the university. Again, I didn't dislike any and that's rare.
4 Her brother. I wasn't in love with him, but he was okay in small doses and he made me laugh in the last episodes so there you have it.
Things I disliked:
1 Her mother. I don't hate her like others, but I certainly won't say I liked her. Push your dreams to your child is something I loathe. same for favoring one of your children. But at the same time, there's no doubt she loved her children and wanted the best for them. Also, she ended up doing the right thing, so I can forgive her.
2 The whole thing with his father. Unnecessary drama in my opinion, and it could be better. This was too dramatic without really have the right ending. Something lacked. I wanted someone to pay in grandiose way.
To conclude. The best high school drama I've seen. I tried several but this is the only one I kept going back day after day.

Process of growing up
PLEASE DON'T SLEEP ON THIS DRAMA!Cast:
To start off, our ML is not your cold-stoic face ML. He's just like any other guy in your school who's a teacher's pet and is friendly towards everyone, a genius and has looks too. I would say his character development slowly turned dark when he goes off to college bc of some reasons (u gotta watch to know more). But all i can tell you is that, no matter where/what the FL does he will still fall head over heels for her again. Oh, most importantly is he's loyal to one so if u're looking for a playboy type, skip this (but u'll regret it!)
Our FL is just a qt who needs to be protected. Just like any other introverted girl, there she is closing her doors and trying to avoid any attention. But as the story progresses, i would say that she has the most obvious character development. And like us, she's a mediocre who tries her best to pass, but there will be times where she fails yet she got stronger. You'll soon love her bc she's just adorable; the way she confessed her love for ML and how she got stronger.
The side characters are also funny like i've never seen such a good combination of friends who try to understand one another. Even the side characters were given their own happy ending which rarely happens in cdrama.
The casts' chemistry omg... it looked so real even the sad scenes... idk who's cutting onions but whenever I see them get hurt, i'll cry too :<<< though all of them look young, unlike other cdramas where their casts look awkward this story however, won't ever disappoint you i promise.
Storyplot:
Goodness, it's a chef's kiss!! As an audience, when i watched this till the end, this story gave me a nostalgic feeling of when we were in highschool experiencing all the fluttering feelings. The story is very relatable to our lives, even the ML who is a genius gets distracted sometimes and drop in ranks. The FL who tries hard but still fail in some things.
And when they started to go separate ways to college and all turbulence happened, it certainly made me feel sad knowing that's how reality works when we grow older. But all in all, this story talks about the importance of friendship and embracing one another's weaknesses while they take us on their growing up journey.
If you want a ML who will nvr cry, then this isn't for you bc our ML here is a legit human being who experiences all sorts of emotions.
OST:
Even the songs omg are masterpiece. EVERY song fits perfectly with each scene and u'll nvr get tired listening to the songs!!!
