Should've been longer
I've read articles about this drama that it was supposed to have 40 episodes, now that I have finished it I can see why.
The pacing was weird every episode, the cut seems off, there are dialogues that never used only scenes and mute.
I still like the overall story, coming of age, bestfriends, love that started as friends. But it feels unfinished, it feels raw, it really needs more episodes to flush out better storytelling. I would've like to see Yu Qiao and Ye Yun to have something, I would've like to see Qiao Xi mother to come and fix there relationship, I would've like to see the year when Yin Tao comeback to China.
Now with the positive, I really love Zhao Jin Mai acting here, it is her best even surpasses her acting in Amidst a Snowstorm of love. ZLH did a phenomenal acting too even with his character not being the best. They're chemistry when both in the screen really blends well. Now with their friend group, I really like it even when they don't get a lot of screen time. Ye Yun and Yu Qiao sacrifices are cruel to not end up together in the end but it was well written and really shine their friendship to Yin Tao.
Overall, its still a great watch. Just don't get high hopes, watch it for the acting more or less.
