A Tián Tiān Tián 甜田天 drama.
I liked the Hú Yītiān Tián Xīwēi 胡一天 田曦薇 pair as "Jiāng Yúbái" 江逾白 "Lín Zhīxià"林知夏 playfully stuttering their names and the other two couples :
"Tāng Tíngtíng 汤婷婷" (Lì Jiāqí 厉嘉琪) + "Duàn Qǐyán" (Xià Hàorán) and "Jīn Bǎihuì金百慧" (Vivienne Tien/Ān Tián 安沺 ) + "Lín Zéqiū" (Wū Jiākǎi 邬家楷 ) of "ordinary people".
Some quibbles : the lead pair was at times not totally engaging : Lín Zhīxià too clueless about emotions, and Jiāng Yúbái having too much to repress his feelings (but Hú Yītiān has experience with playing that sort of oddballs, and there were some really cute moments such as the sly hand grasping on the amusement park drop). Also, since this was fairy tale, I would have preferred Shěn Fùxuān 沈负暄 (Lài Wěimíng 赖伟明 ) not to lose his patient and the noodle shop lady "Gāo Yǐyuàn" 高以媛 (Chén Shūjūn 陈姝君) not to suddenly vanish without proper closure. The unreasonable parents of Jīn Bǎihui felt a bit too much like vertical drama trope torturous ones. Some repeated flashbacks could be skipped.
The music was not bad but the way it was used in the drama was often distracting.
Some nice views of Qingdao were included : waterfront, red tiled houses, the now famous skeleton church (which also features prominently in another drama "As Beautiful As You")
All considered, it was a relaxing and sweet (Tián 甜 !) watch - despite nothing much was unexpected and the small imperfections.
Generally satisfying and watchable by all ages 13 up.
