Different stories about the glory of youth done hilariously cute and heartwarming!
This is my 2nd time watching this and it is such a breath of fresh air! Simple and straightforward story! If you want a break from the usual plots of historical dramas this is a must watch!
Other than the usual comments of saying this is just an idol drama; weak female lead and all that truth is we are so accustomed to seeing the strong female leads being marketed these days but strong is defined not only in being good at martial arts, battle seasoned girl, revenge driven cunning females.
Strength also comes in doing the best that you can in what you love and what you are good at. And you can see that in this drama. Different couples with different struggles and how they overcome all of them together.
WHY 10/10 REWATCH VALUE?
Chemistry of the main couple is top tier! Song Wei Long's very manly appearance-alpha male kind of appearance was accentuated because of the cute and very feminine appearance of Bao Shangen! What a charming couple! Their natural banter made this drama natural-sometimes viewers don't like to admit it but their dynamics as a couple was more attached to reality than the usual dramas where the couple have instant unusual strong bond like huh? In here you can see their relationship was built with misunderstandings, confusion and tests of trust as a couple which they've overcome in their own ways-it's an arranged marriage yes but the thing is they found their way with each other navigating and overcoming the trials along the way
Fight scenes: they spent time orchestrating the fight scenes to really highlight the contrast of the male and female lead-Song Wei Long really stood out in this and all the other fight scenes were also great!
Character Development of female lead: If you are impatient enough- you won't get to enjoy her character development that many of the other comments easily hate on her! First, among all the drama's I've watched this female lead has high self-awareness-she acknowledges her weakness, knows what she likes and doesn't and fights for what she believes in. She may have been raised as a sheltered young lady of noble family; for many this is such a weak female lead and a letdown, but you know, her background and the way she grew does not make her any less of a woman. There are those with the same upbring like hers but with a wicked and vile hearts. She paves her way in the world in her own little ways-as I've said strength and measure of prowess of a woman is not only measured with abilities shaped by society.
You'll love the stories of the other couples too- I think this is why it is titled as such. In our youth it is a constant journey of discovering and rediscovering ourselves different stories reflecting the glory of our youth indeed!
Overall, it is straightforward, with unexpected twists in the plot especially from the villain arc but indulged with the best chemistry of the main lead, heartwarming and light story with hilarious tone!
