Never felt my emotions surge up so much until this Drama
As someone who watched tons of dramas during COVID and reduced them and only watched the popular or eye-catching ones post COVID, this was a MASTERPIECE. I barely say this, but this truly felt like I was part of the drama.
As someone who has experienced something similar, I felt my emotions were being touched and felt by someone else.
Coming back to the drama, what I liked the most is how it showed the priorities people have in real life and showing how different emotions lead on to different outcomes.
This is my first ever drama I have watched of the leads. I have heard how Arthur Chen, lacks in his acting skills but this proved it wrong. Sometimes being quiet and actions show them more. I did read a review or a comment saying how they were annoyed about Zhu Yun, but I think those feelings and emotions last for quite a while when you have very strong feelings for your partner and vice versa. But it haunts you even more in the end, when they act like they never had those feelings and you can never get a closure. Anyone who experiences such events, heal in different ways or sometimes they don't. The only thing I didn't like in the drama but can't blame Zhu Yin is how easily she let herself weak for Li Xun when they met each other again. I think they should have let her not forget how she suffered those years because of several peoples action.
Onto the support roles, as much as GJH pissed me off and he acted so pathetic during the drama. Everyone gets jealous but getting obsessed about it without caring how it affects everyone around you is definitely another level of patheticness. I'm not sure if the he deserved what the ending was but yeh FZJ definitely got a good ending. He could have definitely had some self respect and reduced that ego. Same for Li Xun, I get he is godly and stuff, but high ego never does any good to anyone.
I also didn't like FSM, such a two faced friend but at the same thats also reality. Not all your friends and roommates will support your side, everyone has their own priorities whether your being right or not. Thats what I liked about this drama, It showed the reality of campus in terms of friendship to some extent. Not everything can be captured in one drama but this definitely had those aspects that most dramas do not show.
Though it is a slow burn drama, and I myself hesitated for 3 years before I watched it and YES I DEFINITELY GOT HOOKED.
I would recommend to anyone who is trying to find dramas with good reality check and slow burn romance about struggles. (But yes it is more on the emotional aspect over physical struggles experienced).
