Balanced, Beautiful, and Real.
This drama is such a refreshing, lighthearted watch. It actually reminded me of Forever Love, since both start with the couple’s wedding and follow their journey from high school to college, work, and eventually marriage. The difference is that this one focuses more on the high school phase, with only a few episodes dedicated to their college and working life. But unlike Forever Love, it avoids the usual frustrating tropes—no love triangles or constant misunderstandings. It’s simply a feel-good, well-paced story.
I now understand why this has a 9.0 rating—it truly deserves it.
Su Zai Zai is such a charming character—bubbly and bright, yet not naive. I love that she stands her ground and knows when to set boundaries, even with her cheerful personality. Zhang Lu Rang took a little while for me to warm up to, but once I understood his background—especially the pressure from being constantly compared to his younger brother—his character really hit home. His growth from being cold and distant to warm and emotionally open was so satisfying to watch.
What really stands out is how healthy their relationship is. They communicate well, support each other, and there’s a real sense of balance between them. Rang Rang may be in Class 1 and seen as the top student, but he struggles in English—meanwhile, Su Zai Zai from Class 9 excels at it. I loved how they helped each other out, tutoring one another and growing together.
The music also adds to the overall charm—fitting perfectly with the warm, easygoing vibe. I’d definitely recommend this as a first C-drama for anyone new to the genre. It’s wholesome, heartwarming, and well worth the watch.
