Packed with cuteness and yearning!
When I started watching this, I already had heard about it and was aware of the insane amount of hype it got. Curious, I binge watched the drama and honestly, it was one of my best decisions.
Plot is about Sang Zhi (played by Zhao Lusi), who has a secret attraction towards her brother, Sang Yan's (played by Victor Ma) best friend, Duan Jiaxu (played by Chen Zheyuan). She tries to pursue him but he looks at her as a sister only. But eventually when Zhi grows up, Jiaxu realises his feelings towards her and goes on to pursue her.
Now, coming to the story. It was literally a breath of fresh air. I have seen a lot of C dramas where the FL falls first and its kinda repetitive, but here Sang Zhi's attraction doesn't have that madness. It's soft, it's youthful and it will surely make you root for her. Sang Zhi is a reserved girl, doesn't go around throwing tantrums (except with her brother) and doesn't do cute things forcefully just to appear attractive, and that's what I like about her. The flow of the story is also good, there are little to no plot holes and keeps you hooked till the very end.
Duan Jiaxu's character is complex yet extremely likable. He had a lot on his plate; but didn't end up making it his whole personality. He's not the typical cold hearted ML who had a dark past. He's cheerful, funny, loves to pull people's legs and also, a very hard working guy. I could never imagine someone else other than Zheyuan as Duan Jiaxu. He acted the character like his whole life depended on it, and nailed it as well.
As for Sang Zhi, she's one of the best FL I've seen. A total green flag. Doesn't talk much, is helpful and also, very passionate about what she wants. She doesn't go around the ML the whole day and doesn't end up making it her whole personality. Zhao Lusi breathed life into Sang Zhi. She has to be the perfect person for this role.
Sang Yan is there for you to cheer you up and make you laugh when things get too heavy. His and ZhiZhi's banters are funny and the sibling dynamic is so well portrayed. Victor Ma will always be the funny Sang Yan.
I would say, this show perfectly deserved the hype it got and is one of the best modern C Dramas in recent times. The OST is cute too, one is sung by Lusi herself and it's very wholesome. The other songs will make you nostalgic too.
It's worth watching. Like worth watching a 100 times!
