Left my brain the second the credits rolled
I honestly don't remember much! I know I finished it, but as for when or how... I have no idea. From what I can recall, the chemistry between the leads was great. I enjoyed their interactions and wanted to see how their relationship would wrap up, which is probably the only reason I stayed until the end. I couldn't tell you a single thing about the plot or the side characters now. All I remember are the leads, and even that is pretty vague! NEXT!Was this review helpful to you?

great high school drama
I don't normally go looking for high school dramas, but I have watched a few and this has got to be one of my favorite ones aside from Meeting You. What I loved most about this drama is that the FML is not over the top. Some of the high school dramas I've seen, the FML is usually borderline annoying at first (yes I know character development and all lol). She's a pretty chill character-which I love.Also the main leads have such a cute chemistry, that I definitely felt nostalgic about my high school years just like other people have commented.
What I also liked is that she didn't total disregard the SML-after all they did grow up together. One of my pet peeves-although I do like love triangles, is that some dramas are quick to right off the SML once they do something wrong. Like ok lets just forget how much you helped me in the past and how you were basically one of my best friends.
I am happy as always when I find something that I wasn't expecting to be a great drama lol.
Its definitely a fun and quick watch.

BEST SCHOOL RELATED CDRAMA
i mean school dramas are usually quite cliche with the normal plot but i find this drama to be so refreshing, there’s always smth new each episode. usually i get bored at the first ep BUT PLEASE CONTINUE WATCHING…. it gets better each episode my heart aches so much when the ml cries..i find that the front part like the character development is rly rly good, they did not rush into professing their love, their eyes, words and actions really shows.. it’s also not too slow to the point u get frustrated? it’s like nice and fluffy and warm.. got me screaming a little inside hehe how i wish they elongate the university life … it was cut short to a few eps :(
don’t rly rewatch cdramas bec of predictable plots but i’ll definitely rewatch this
THE CHARACTERS ARE PERFECT FOR THEIR ROLE…. their chemistry and acting is so good 🥺🥺🥺🥺 i can’t believe it’s only 24 eps
IF ITS SITTING ON UR LIST, PLS WATCH IT

♥Near perfect ♥ Touching and funny script. Great cast. Sweet Romance.
Overall, a sweet story of finding your first crush, making friends, and turning those relationships into lifelong connections. Excellent closure.Reality is unlikely to be as dreamy smooth as well as so emotionally controlled for teenagers. Misunderstood situations and inconsistent character decisions gave the conflicts needed for the main couple's story.
The slow progress or missed chances felt real but the easy 2nd chances and unwavering dedication to those 1st loves from almost all the 3 students' friend circle though endearing was but a bit too much for cynical old me. Even the enduring friendships with the 3rd parties/love challengers. Nice, but maybe only in dreamland.
Many small romantic moments, especially in the last 5 eps. This was a pleasant surprise after the long wait as the sparks and embers flickered low and slow for so long. Many relationships on the friends and buddy list that you grow to love and root for.
As for angst and annoying stuff, only the FL's mother was annoying for an extended amt of time. Every other obstacle or challenge was quickly resolved. Their clothing was obviously color matched (ALOT) but not acknowledged by anyone directly - I think this was done possibly indirectly show their fate, but it wasn't necessary, IMO they had more than enough chemistry. The visuals were a little dated and cringy at times. The FL's hair was the same for 99% of the drama with it always tied back with split bangs or straight bangs in a ponytail or bun. Unless she was getting in or out of bed and the 1 exception at the very end it's super boring. I think her style that would have worked for her in high school but definitely not matching his more mature look with the casual suit when they got older.

I swear, the ML actor Chen Zhe Yuan (Si Yue in the drama) talks with his eyes - they're always filled with an emotion and you can tell exactly what he's trying to say. His voice is so calm too. His character Si Yue was utterly charming and intelligent. The dialogue + delivery of his lines were killer. Can't wait to see him in more shows and I hope he gets the popularity he deserves for his acting abilities.
For the FL actress Xu Meng Jie (Ding Xian in the drama), she's so adorable as a high school girl! Her voice is also soothing and she portrays the "shy girl" in such a likable way. She's not only shy, but has so much more depth to her and she also grows as a character. It's really sweet watching her learn positive things from the ML.
The side characters like all the friends, adults, and antagonists also did an amazing job. I'd say the episodes toward the end were a bit more cheesy and could've been more fleshed out with actual romantic scenes but I'll forgive it since I know China's entertainment policy doesn't allow much for high school dramas and I still felt the flutters anyways 😅 I totally recommend this to anyone reading !!

Its those thrashy classy romance but good tier ifykwim
Oct. 19, 2021Okay, so this Chinese drama is quite interesting. I have seen the reviews and I expected quite a lot but I feel like it just did not meet the expectations for me. I thought that the plot was decent enough but not outstanding. Given that it is a high school to adult-type Chinese drama, it is expected for it to have lots of cliches. Which I did not mind, to be honest.
However, what frustrates me is the somehow development of the two leads. I am sure that everyone loved the ending as they got together finally. But the middle arc just irked me so much since it's promoting toxicity and dependent on each other. I feel like they shouldn’t have gone this route as they tried to make such good development for the FL. It was a pain to see how the FL forces and attaches herself to the ML like a glue. I didn’t find that cute or lovely at all. It feel dehumanizing at most. I really despise that arc, if the director just removed that arc, this drama would have been a good 9.5/10 or even a 10/10 for me.
So fair warning, but everything else is great. It's just the 3/4 part that just made me almost lose my interest in this drama. But the ending did redeem the show I guess for that painful middle arc.
SO OVERALL 8/10. Do I recommend this show? Ofc but only for those who have good patience.

FLUFFY CUTE DRAMA
If you need a sweet romcom to lighten your mood this drama is perfect .Unlike others I feel the plot is mediocre but it focuses on various aspects like chasing dreams,failures and youth apart from romance . The FL is clumsy but for some reason it's not annoying to watch her character(atleast for me) infact she is like every other naive teenager who usually takes decisions based on emotions.The weirdest part was how they introduced a love triangle in the 18th episode.That was unnecessary.The cast of this drama surprisingly won my heart.The main leads give me butterflies everytime they are together.There are misunderstandings between them and a childhood connection just like every typical highschool drama.The secondary couple has a cute chemistry as well.
Overall I'm enjoying this show and can't wait to complete it.Would recommend to anyone who is in mood of sweet fluffy dramas.Hopefully there won't be any plotholes.
EDIT
I wish they gave more screen time to the side couples....love how in the end there was peace between all the characters. They followed the cute concept but didn't erase the fact that both the leads are chasing their dreams .

A very good light hearted watch
I watched this for the male lead and didn't expect it to be this good. Yes, there were scenes where I disliked how he didn't sahre what he thought to her and also her going behind him for everything. And the relief I felt when she chose herself after chasing him for long time. And also I didn't like the way the senior started pursuing her. He clearly knew she was interested in siyue still went on for her. It's just few episodes of this which annoyed me but every other things were so so good. Can definitely watch it anytime you want. It's worth all the watchWas this review helpful to you?

ok i watched this purely for Chen Zheyuan, I really really wanted to know why he is so loved on MDL. I previously only watched Hidden Love which wasn't bad but lowkey felt like it was a little overrated. However, I feel like I get some of the hype for Chen Zheyuan now, the way he portrays emotions is really alluring. Like he got those puppy eyes and jawline and full lips and the way he looks at Ding Xian (Xu Mengjie/Rainbow) is so in love. (i wish someone would look at me that way *cries in my dream*). The support characters are also paired well, no random annoying bestie that just happens to ruin everything. Anyways, the actors all did really well. I feel like it's a real high school yk, with no overly obnoxious characters. The only lil thing that pissed me off was that bit in the middle where Zhou Siyue was in denial over Ding Xian when he thought it was "for her good" like come on how many times is that used (i mean although it works). There was no draggy-ahh plotline, 24 episodes is a good length for this. Solid 8.5. not bad but not awesome. (Ignore my rating for music, unless it's really good I just put a two for everything) Was this review helpful to you?
MUST WATCH
i read someones review that the episodes are enough for this drama, and as i watched it i feel the same way. the storyline was nice and the actors played well their characters also. the ml & fl was so cute and potrayed emotions very well. want season 2 or more drama with this duo. romance was cute as anyone can relate it to their real life. in last 22-24 episodes they could detailed the villian scene more but they shown very shortly and the extra story episode also have shown as happy ending in ending.Was this review helpful to you?
A Story worth re-watching, again and again.
The plot was soo sweet, and realistic enough. The characters were good and the actors did a great job playing them. At first glance, it'd just seem like an ordinary typical cringe puppy love drama, but, if you take a moment and start watching, you'd be surprised. It shows the importance of those little ordinary things in our daily lives. Just like Zhou Siyue said, "At first all things would seem ordinary and insignificant, but, later everything will fall into place, little by little, and then will you understand the actual significance of those insignificant things." The series portrayed the lives of teenagers and adults too. What they go through, how they overcome it, and what they become after going through those things. How small things that can't even be spoken, and actions that are not even worth taking, turn out to be something that matters more than anything. A Series that portrays the true value of romantic and platonic love, filled with family, friendship, youth, adolescence, and more. A lesson well learned, to such an extent, that I don't think I'll ever be able to move on from. Could relate to everything the characters went through and thought about. It gave me hope, the Idea of these little things, that are not so little. If you're planning to watch it, don't delay it anymore!Was this review helpful to you?
