Completed, But I Need More.

Another school-setting drama for youth drama fans. I rated it this way because most of it felt pretty neutral to me. I was excited at first—the early episodes had me hooked—but once the couple became official, my excitement slowly packed its bags and left. 😅 I don’t know why, but in many romance dramas, the second the couple gets together, the fun fades. I guess I enjoy more of their chaotic chemistry than all the soft, lovey-dovey moments.

Also… I kind of expected Yue Tang Tang to join the main group in exchange for Gu En Tong. No offense, but Yue Tang Tang had something more going on for me. She reminded me a bit of Gu En Tong, but with more spark—and honestly, I felt bad seeing her always alone. Like, does she have a single friend on campus? She deserved better!

One thing that kept bugging me: are they supposed to be in college or high school? Because some of the girls (excluding my girl Zi Shan, of course—icon behavior) act way too childish for college students. It broke my immersion a little, and yeah, I hit the fast-forward button a few times.

And of course, the classic drama move—misunderstandings caused by not talking. Please, I'm begging. So many issues could’ve been avoided if someone just said, “Hey, can we talk?” But nooo, let’s all suffer quietly and pretend that’s romantic.

That said, it’s still a pretty recommendable drama if you're into lighter school romances. It didn’t fully hit for me, but who knows? You might vibe with it more than I did!
