ML really need to learn how to talk with girl. I know, he was probably a jerk to protect her (don't know why but I'm pretty sure it's his reasoning).

Well, that was different. The synopsis is really misleading but I loved the twist.

-First Story: Cute & Fluffy with just tiny bit of fantasy added. It was a great start I think.
-Second Story: A office-romcom. Solid. A classic.
-Third Story: They starting to take risk here. And it was a winning gamble. Really beautiful.
-Fourth Story: Spicy. But to be honest, it's the one I found very lacking with his plot. But hey, like I said, Spicy. :P
-Final Story: Like I said, I loved the final twist. But weirdly, it's the one I liked the less ? I'm very confused as why I feel that way because the script, acting and the idea behind it was good. Not that I didn't like it at all but it's the one I have the most misfeeling.

I just want to add that they did a excellent job at make every characters unique, especially the ones played by Top.

Overall, a solid 9/10 for me.

Enjoyable. I'm just very confused about people saying this version is different from the Thai one. Of course, it's shorter so not everything is here but from what I recall, it's the exact same plot for the first couple. I could even say they didn't even change their line and sub plot.

And too bad for me, as like this one, I found the Thai version enjoyable but that's it. I hoped for something different like the Thailand did with Cherry Magic. I know some really dislike when they change too much but for me, it's one of the interest. Just my opinion.

I'm disappointed at how they made the ending not really the content itself. 90% of the episode was about a sad ending for them. But they did a complete 180 in the last minute. I highly suspect that it wasn't what they were aiming for but someone said "Hey! We can't have that! Make it happy!". And it was really clumsy.

So yeah, if they wanted a happy ending -and again like I said, I also prefer such ending- this wasn't it.

20min where everything they build go incredibly wrong. The Dad plot was so painful to watch because they didn't add any closure to it. I was sure that Qi Lu took the last beating to report his father with evidence. But no... The dad "win" in the end. And of course, Qin Xiao get injured and couldn't take his exam.

So, Qi Lu went with his father and Qin Xiao leave everyone to somewhere. Fine, a Sad Ending. It isn't what I hoped for but I can process that. BUT then in the last 2min... a time skip.

Some text that explain that Qi Lu did follow his dream somehow and break free from his father. And Qin Xiao did go to university, again somehow by the help of his teacher. Then they reunite by "fate" and all of the 4 seem to be happy ? Come on... If you really wanted a happy ending, that wasn't it. And they butchered a "decent" sad ending.

Like I said, it was a really good show. But the ending... I don't know what they were thinking.

The ending is clumsy. I think they just wanted to break our heart and then put a aid-band on it, like it would help somehow. Don't get me wrong, it was a really good show. But god, the ending wasn't it.

More in spoiler.

After reading the synopsis, I was really confused by Yotha/Faifa being "Irish Twin". Never heard of that. Quick Google search and it just seems to mean that they are brother with less than a year between their birth. :o

When I saw the trailer, I really didn't like what I saw. Another university story. 4 Couples, so it will be messy and underdeveloped. I didn't like "We are" and the trailer give me that vibe. But, don't know why I decided to give it a try.

And I loved it... First of all: Only 2 couples. Some seems disappointed by that but for me it make this better. The production is nice. The story while kind of basic, work for me as it's well made so far. So yeah, I'm very surprised but I guess it's a happy one. :o

This adaptation is based on a Manhwa (Korean version of Manga). :)

Happy Ending. They even talk about getting married when it will be legal in Korea.

It was good. But I had a real problem with childish characters so the FL was a bit of a miss for me. Especially with the romance. It wasn't credible one bit. The second romance was really flat.

In another hand, the story itself was what that kept me watching it. And I loved the final plot twist. :)

It's a Thai BL thing. Taiwan, Japan and Korea don't make pair. While I enjoy some of them, I also do wish it wasn't the norm as like you said, it's really limiting for them and VERY toxic for some people as -again- you said.

The other version it's a director cut. Meaning, it's an extended version that fit more the vision of the director. Not an uncensored one (as it wasn't censored in the first place :P)

Yeah. I was really surprised when I saw it was from China (I believed it was from Taiwan). And we really can expect much as Chinese Drama are mostly Hug & Kisses to begins with.

Well I really couldn't finish it. It was slow at first but it became even more slow. I love slow burn but here it's the same problem they bring over and over again! Their relationship went nowhere. ML keep chasing FL but she kept pushing him back. I understand her reason BUT when the same scenes happen X times it become really boring.

Not a huge fan of Xianxia especially when fights have subpar CGI.

They are really flirty all along the drama but nothing that made me really into their couple. They could be best friend and it wouldn't change that much their dynamic. We do get the final kiss in the final episode (I think they did have another one previously but they didn't show us as the camera fade away before it happen) & their mariage scene was really small.

All I'm saying is you should try this drama even if you only want the romance as the plot is that good BUT if you are bored by it, you can just drop it as I don't think the romance will be enough.

Just one thing that bothered me (don't read it if you don't want a minor spoiler of the end);

What was the big deal with the fish talisman & the "Whongu" (probably misspelled) army ? Yeah, I get it it's a symbole for the one who control that army but come on guys... It was REALLY pushy for us to believe that they would listen to the rebel army just because a obvious bad guy hold the talisman. And after all that, FL shoot two freaking arrow (so they could react), bad guy drop the talisman, ML take it and now they follow his order like nothing happen two second ago ?

It would have been way better that they turn their brains on when FL listed their dead camarades that died from the previous plot. Anyway, it's really a minor plot hole for me but it was so... weird.

It was really good. I really liked the FL, a little less the ML but he was fine. The revenge plot was really well written. For the romance plot, they had some touching scene but for the one who only want a romance I don't think I can recommend this one because overall, it's kind of lacklustre. More in spoiler.

Well it really wasn't for me, I dropped at episode 36 because I couldn't take it anymore:

-Misunderstanding after misunderstanding. It isn't my favorite plot line to begin with but this one is FILLED with them. And most are badly written just because they want the plot to take this direction.

-One character will spit blood in almost every episode. They always have internal bleeding whatever injuries they get. Trauma, blade wound, poison, sickness, exhausted -> The same exact spitting of blood.

-They also overused CGI. Sometime it was good but sometime it was really bad, especially in fighting scenes that made them akin to a kid show.

It isn't that bad but it's just follow the typical ending from every romcom ever made before. They break up for a really weak reason (ML made a promise to always hold her hand but it was too "heavy" for her as all of his life ML made promise that kind of "ruined his life"). And after a time skip, they reunited in the last minute, made up & she finally said she loved him for the first time and... The end.

Oh... It's really a romance drama. I hope it will not be too sugar-coated because he will not match the vibe at all. And I hope they will not butcher Kang Bitna character for the romance. If anything, Han Daon becoming more merciless and joining the demon gang would be a nice change (even if my hope are really low for that to happen).
