💕 MY THOUGHTS:
I could have rated this even higher, but honestly… the math jargon and all those genius-level terms didn’t let me! 😂😂😂 There were moments when I was just sitting there like, “What are they talking about?” 🤣 I was literally in a daze, dizzy and completely blank! 😂
And come on… they only officially got together in the last few episodes! 😭 They could have done it much earlier and given us MORE romantic scenes! 😍❤️
Another thing that matters a lot to me in dramas is the OST. Music can really stimulate your feelings and emotions and make certain scenes more memorable. Unfortunately, I didn't really like the main OST, “Dusk Stealer.” 😅 But aside from that, everything was pretty much perfect for me! 😍
🩷 LIN ZHI XIA
As a genius, Lin Zhi Xia is incredibly advanced academically, but she is a little slower when it comes to understanding emotions and social situations. Sometimes, she simply couldn't understand what was happening, why it was happening, or what was wrong.
She isn't emotionally invested or sensitive in the same way other people are. She understands things from a logical point of view, but emotionally, she sometimes struggles to understand them.
Even as a child, she was already living in a different world compared to kids her age. That's why, when she met Jiang Yu Bai, she immediately liked him and asked him to be her best friend. ❤️
They were on the same wavelength, and Jiang Yu Bai could understand her and actually keep up with her intellectually.
Little by little, with Jiang Yu Bai's help, Lin Zhi Xia learned how to understand the feelings of the people around her. 🥹❤️
🩵 JIANG YU BAI
Thankfully, Jiang Yu Bai was always there for her. 🥰
Although he liked Lin Zhi Xia, he initially couldn't let go of the thought that if she hadn't appeared in his life, he would always be No. 1. 😂
He was always at the top, but once he started studying with Lin Zhi Xia, he often found himself in second place. So, naturally, he wanted to compete with her and eventually become No. 1 alongside her.
But eventually, he let go of that obsession. Instead of constantly trying to beat her, he simply went with the flow because, in the end, his biggest principle was making Lin Zhi Xia happy. 💕😍
📚 THE PRESSURE OF BEING A STUDENT
One thing I really liked about this drama was how it showed the struggles and pressure students experience—even those who are high-ranking and academically gifted.
I especially felt bad for Jin Bai Hui. 🥺 I just wish parents could learn to accept their children for who they are, as long as they're not doing anything wrong. Every child has different strengths, dreams and limits.
👨👩👧 THE LIN FAMILY
The Lin siblings were so much fun to watch! 😂 They were chaotic and constantly argued, but you could really see how much Lin Ze Qiu cared about his sister. ❤️
He supported Lin Zhi Xia all the way, and the same goes for their parents. They may not be wealthy, but they supported her studies and allowed her to focus on school instead of forcing her to work because they knew studying was what made her happy. 🥹❤️
👫 THE CLASS BREAK GROUP
And let's talk about the Class Break group! 👏👏👏
They literally showed what true friendship can look like. They were always together while studying, and eventually, they chose different paths and careers. But even after going their separate ways, they still made an effort to communicate, meet up and stay connected despite their busy schedules.
Well done, guys! 👏❤️
💕 OVERALL
Genius Girlfriend earns a 9/10 from me! ⭐️
It's a light, romantic, fluffy and sweet comedy drama—exactly my cup of tea! 🥰 I don't have to stress over anything except the math! 😂😂😂
And of course, Tian XiWei and Hu YiTian's chemistry was great! 😍 Although, for some reason, their chemistry didn't reach my ZLH-level for me. 😂❤️ Still, they were a lovely pairing!
Tian XiWei always delivers her characters so well, and Hu YiTian is just… freaking handsome! 😍😂
✨ Genre: School • Youth • Romantic Comedy
🎵 Favorite OST: Be My Light ❤️
