Best for mind relaxing

First of all, I have to say that I really liked this drama. I actually loved it because it’s very relaxing to watch. One special thing about this drama is the actors—almost all of them are pleasant to look at. Many are beautiful, cute, hot, or charming, so there are a lot of visually appealing characters. 😻

The drama also gives an old-school school drama feeling. Nowadays, many dramas don’t capture that emotional school-life atmosphere like older ones did. This drama reminded me of those kinds of stories. When the characters left school, I actually felt a little sad because it reminded me of my own school life.🥺

This drama focuses on love, friendship, and life, and I especially loved the relationships, particularly both couples. The way their love develops step by step is beautiful. Their romance feels natural, and they are really cute together. ❤️ But as for friendships, I didn’t feel a strong or meaningful connection between the characters. Yes, they are friends and spend time together, but the emotional depth of their friendship didn’t come across strongly. Maybe it’s because I’ve watched other dramas where friendships felt very real and touching. Compared to those, the friendships here felt a little weak. Still, this isn’t a big problem for the drama overall.

Another thing I didn’t like was one of the conflicts involving the second couple. The boy couldn’t contact Juan, and suddenly the story jumps forward two years. That felt strange and unnecessary. It would have been better if it was only one month or a shorter period, because two years is too long for that situation. Also, Ling Chao bought the apartment two years earlier, and even after those two years passed, their relationship didn’t seem to develop much. When she comes to stay, she doesn’t even stay one night with him, even though two years have passed. It feels like the drama wanted to show that a lot of time had passed, but many things still stayed the same. For example, when the second couple breaks up, the story suddenly jumps two years ahead, but in other parts, it still feels like no real time has passed. Because of that, the time skip feels inconsistent.

Talking about the characters, all the actors and actresses did their best. The main leads are really cute—when Ling Chao smiles, it feels adorable 🥹.

As for Zi Han, he has a very cool vibe. He’s a chill guy, and his scenes are funny, so I really enjoyed watching him. He should have become a more famous celebrity—why didn’t they give him more focus? I feel disappointed about that.

The character I liked the most after the main lead is Ling Long’s cousin Ye Jun… actually, not the character—I think I just like the actor! 😁 When he smiles, it really melts my heart. He has a very cool and relaxed vibe, and I really liked him.

Overall, this drama is enjoyable, relaxing, and has a nostalgic school-life feeling. If you like light romance, school memories, and cool characters, this drama is worth watching.
