Campus drama with friends-to-lovers trope
I wasn't a fan of Ma Le Jie because of the roles she often played (damsels in distress). However I decided to watch this drama because I was preparing a reddit post on Cheng Cheng. Overall, I liked this drama even though campus drama isn't my favourite trope.What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - It's cool that she was a ghost singer. She got fed up of the ill treatment & decided to stand up for herself after being given a second chance.
2. ML characterisation - I liked that he was rational and supportive friend.
3. Romance - Friends to lovers trope. A lot of sweet moments. Unrequited love trope was also explored in this drama.
4. Styling - The stylist chose the right sets of clothes to distinguish campus life from adult life.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - The SML & SFL were self-absorbed.
2. Slander - Same old, same old.
Favourite scene
SML went to FL & promised that he'd pay her back

The fast paced and decent reborn drama
I watched this because of Tik Tok advertisement and it was decent drama even there is less romance in this drama.I never expected Cheng Cheng can be so youthful. Cheng Cheng and Ma Le Jie have great chemistry FL's appearance as a basketball cheerleader was stunning! Their interactions are quite sweet, but there aren't many scenes featuring them. The humiliation scenes are smooth, without any major mishaps.
The script is clichéd. FL mistakes the person who comforted her, leading her to chase after a scumbag. After her rebirth, she turns back, only to discover in the last few episodes that it was her childhood sweetheart who comforted her. There's also a lot of verbal sparring from the SFL, FL hiding her wealthy identity, the female supporting character getting humiliated at a wealthy family's house, etc. In this version rather than focusing on reborn, it more focusing on ML secret crush to FL.
I watched the same version but personally it was the most decent chemistry. Recommended to Watch.
