Growing up and falling in love
Positives: no toxic relationships. There is a lot of plot giveaways - for example in the opening scenes we see a wedding, so we know from the beginning where the story is headed. Acting was good. The actors captured the awkwardness of being in high school and falling in love/like. It was not all love scenes, though. There is deep friendships and family respect. The story does not drag out as in too many dramas and each episode is 30ish minutes. Sub titles (English) are well done; I only saw one mistake.
Negatives: at least one continuity issue - Jiang Jia is wearing one winter coat and then in the continuation of the scene, she has switched to another coat. Oftentimes, the plot is too coincidental. And as usual in Asian dramas, the female leads have an inordinate amount of winter coats! 🧥 Lastly, the scenery is not always consistent with the time of year. It’s snowing , but the bush in the background has spring flowers. It’s January, but all the trees have their leaves.
Summary: A pleasant, quick series with no excessive drama. Just real life teens growing up, and finding their way in the world. And a realistic ending without silliness. I don’t rewatch shows, so my rewatch value is 1.
