Late 95s-early 2000s Kids Will Relate To This...
"Sun sets but love remains and your heart will still beats in pleasure when I fly towards you"
*
*
This is the first drama in recent years that made me want to write here again as I was on a vacuum for watching any C-dramas, K-dramas, Thai dramas, movies etc (to focus on my new found hobby-watching anime series and reading mangas, manhwas and manhuas).. Fyi, I watched this from Netflix recommendation after I finished "Hidden Love". I thought that has no rivals, boi I was so wrong. This...this drama hits different..
You won't find any extraordinary plot lines that blew your mind from its plot twist but from the simplicity it brings through each realistic dialogue, it made me smile, laughed like a maniac, and even mad and cried..I relate to all of the scenes here as a late gen z facing through the same struggles and problems..
The first half of this drama throw me back to my middle school & highschool days (from the transition of their phones, TV, PS, cameras, etc), we used to not care that much with internet like now, and that rl relationship is what matters to us.. It kinda made me jealous of how lucky all the main characters here that they got to find real and true friendship and love that lasts years..Having someone special like RangRang & ZaiZai to each other and having best friends to support you is a blessing in a tough world like right now..
Anyway, here are my detailed reviews :
☑️ Plot : 10/10 Tho I think there were quite few moments where the plot jumps randomly and without any further explanation, but it didn't disrupt the overall flow of the plot. I can feel the sincerity the writing & production team from the script. All the loose ends have been tied up, the audience also got to see many fan service scenes of their super duper sweet fluffy moments even until their marriage!
☑️Acting : 100000/10 Thank you casting team for choosing them as the casts. They're perfect for each of the characters here. I was honestly surprised to see Ai Jia here as a highschool student🤣 But I found myself grinning, laughing and sighing from their acting! It's sooo rare for me to laugh like that from watching a drama even recent K-dramas failed to give me the perfect comedy lines that made me laugh hysterically. Special shout out to Zhou Yi Ran for successfully embodied Lurang's character perfectly. I thought I would see another Irie Naoki type of character where you rarely see the tsundere ML showing emotions but heree, Yi Ran cleverly showed such delicate subtle emotions on his face..You can see the transformation of him falling in love with ZaiZai from the first half until the end.
☑️Cinematography : 1000/10 Chef kiss! No comment about that. The director and the production team has successfully portrayed the real beautiful, warm and ticklish vibes of youth time of high school students until their young adult time in real society..
☑️Characterization : 1st Couple (I'm surprised to see ZaiZai is not Kotoko type of character and RangRang is not Irie Naoki type of character. I love how strong their principle is when it comes to love and I love how we got to see ML showing his vulnerable sides (esp insecurity) and FL giving him courage and support healthily. ZaiZai seems like the usual cute, outgoing and cheerful FL who only aims to chase his ML, but boiii I was wrong! She has her own strength and that strength is actually ML's weakness. So both of them are standing equally!
And I also love RangRang's character development (from being aloof, awkward, caring in his own way, showing his love more daringly & bravely, to finally being confident enough to show their love to the world) .I'm also surprised that both of them knew each other's feelings and acted like lovers even before them being official lovers. Like RangRang always made sure ZaiZai would always be safe, feeling comfortable, well fed, always be happy, etc. He stepped outside of his comfort zones countless times just to see her smile. But little did he know that by doing that it also pushed him to be a better person that loves and appreciates his self first.
2nd Couple needs more scenes but I can't complain as the 1st couple's screen time is worth the entire episodes of the drama.. But I love how realistic their dynamic & development are. They successfully portrayed best friends turn into lovers with their bickerings,flirts, and finally the confession..
☑️Conclusion : Watch them as it will surely makes you smile, reminiscent and feeling energized to face what tomorrow brings..Very very recommended!!! 💖💖
