I read the translated book many months ago without knowing it was going to be adapted into a drama, and with Dylan Wang!! Oh I'm excited! The actual story is kind of cliché, but it was relatively light-hearted and I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see some of my favorite moments from the book!
I couldn't have said it better myself! The first 5 episodes were just okay, so I had a time where I kinda left…
The first few episodes were nice, but not interesting enough for me to want to continue the next day. But I powered through and I totally agree! This is hands down one of the best school dramas I've seen. It was so good that I'm even contemplating watching Hidden Love and reading the books for myself...after I finish watching You Are Desire to get my Zhou Yiran fix 🤭
I was getting severe 2nd hand embarrassment during first couple of episodes but i am glad i didn't drop it. It…
Agreed. It seemed after Luli confronted his parents, and Zaizai talked with both brothers, it's implied that their relationship got better. And there was only one line in the drama about Rang Rang saying his parents are slowly getting better. But that was it. I wish they'd delved into that more. I wouldn't even mind an extra episode if needed to properly show the changes.
I love love love this drama, probably one of the best school dramas I've seen, and I'm not usually a fan of those because of all the misunderstandings and unnecessarily intense actions. The ML wasn't a stereotypical cold ML, he was just shy. And even though the FL was bold and determined to get close to ML, she wasn't ridiculous, and even encouraged ML to improve his own view of life and go for his dreams regardless of what his family thought of him. (Also I loved how she interacted with Luli). My favorite part though was the friendship between the 5 of them, which surprised me since I'm a sucker for romance. I just loved the nostalgia of high school and how strong the friendship was between all 5 of them, regardless of romantic feeling.
Our secrets in lattice was my biggest disappointment....everything wrong in that drama was done right here.. Cdramas…
I couldn't have said it better myself! The first 5 episodes were just okay, so I had a time where I kinda left it for later, but because I was curious about the rating, I watched it and LOVED it! The friendship, the independence between them yet also unconditional support between the friends and lovers, just so nice. I also liked how even though I was worried about Guan Fang becoming like the odd one out, they didn't make him seem like a 5th wheel. They also gave him lots of screen time and gave us cute moments with his granny and friends.
For me personally it was because i have rarely seen such a healthy and realistic relationship based on clear communication…
Agreed, lavender! I love how realistic yet so cute it was. Usually school dramas have a lot of childish and over the top petty drama, so I rarely watch them. But this is just so good (then again I just finished it half an hour ago so I'm probably just talking out of excitement). But this is exactly what I love in a drama: no dumb misunderstandings, clear communication, and lots of nostalgia!
I'm about to watch Hidden Love so idk, but I can tell you this drama is so fluffy and amazing, it's the only drama I think I've ever given a 10 to. Highly recommend if you want a feel-good nostalgic drama with no stupidly dragged out misunderstandings and a strong couple that grow together instead of sacrificing their dreams in the name of love.
Enemies to lovers? definitely my cup of tea. He perfectly delivered all the emotional phases of the character…
That's exactly what I was thinking! His acting totally reminded me of Vincenzo. It's been months and I still can't get ML out of my head, he's THAT good.
I think a show like this is perfect for a second season. More episodic shows tend to have great potential for…
Agreed, one of the main reasons I want an S2 is to see the brother in a more prominent role. the moment he called her "big sis", I wanted to see more interactions between them besides just being in a courtroom for something Sang Hyeon did. I want to see them becoming a family, with or without their mother's involvement.
Oh I'm so excited! I read the translated novel earlier this year and now I've just found out that it's being adapted with 2 of my favorite actors!!! I can't wait to watch it!
You guessed half right. The game has a sponsor, but no government sponsorship. The drama was filmed by Tencent…
You could be right, although I agree with the other person as I had also read the novel before watching. I'm a long time fan of the author, and one thing I know is that Gu Man doesn't allow her works to be adapted unless she is allowed to be part of the production herself. I also wondered if Gu Man would have changed the game if it was picked up by another company, because we've seen it with the drama "Falling Into Your Smile" where League of Legends was changed to NetEase's «Onmyoji Arena». However, knowing the personality of the author and her usual requirements, as well as the overwhelming significance of the title throughout the story, I don't think it would have changed the game. Why... simply because I'm sure it would have been a deal breaker for the author. She simply could decide to not proceed with an adaptation with that company of they didn't keep the same game name. Gu Man loves to wax poetic, and the way she constantly incorporated the title in the actual novel makes me believe that.
i wont mind if Leo plays the ml because he's an amazing actor but his fanbase is very huge and this is a female-centric…
Agreed. This is one of my favorite Chinese novels because of how strong Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing are both together and on their own. This is essentially Shen Miao's story so I'm really hoping the entire cast can do this justice.
The actual story is kind of cliché, but it was relatively light-hearted and I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see some of my favorite moments from the book!

Oh wait but I hope they don't mess it up and change the webtoon too much like they did with Sixth Sense Kiss.
