I genuinely believe that if you're in high school, college, or simply feeling like you don't know where you life is headed, you should watch it. This show is about this group of friends in high school, navigating their life. It depicts the lives of these friends who live close by and how they help each other. The three main characters are so well written. From their family backstory, struggles of a student/athlete, how to fit in, having crushes, academics, family pressure, and what to do after high school. etc.
Once they graduated high school, that's where the real story begins! It's also not just all fun and games, there real scenes that hits you hard. One of Huan Er's roomates goes back to her hometown, they say how some live ordinary lives despite their potential. Xi Chi is having a hard time with work. Qi Qi moving abroad, They tackle life struggles people have, issues that the viewers may relate to.
The last episode were the characters from their high school and talk about life. Some are successful, studying, navigating life.

A female lead that allows the guy to grovel.
Hear me out !! The reviews said that she was messy and honestly--i see why people say it. Yet her character does get better.The first part was kinda cringey, ngl. The pictures of him on the wall? red dress to kiss him? She was doing too much. But let me tell you her character gets development. She's the very much loves the idea of love, and when she couldn't hold it anymore? she burst, rightfully so, call it 'karma' cause she is acting too much.
Onto the character development part. Start of episode 5, she chooses to be like, "I don't deserve this, I can do better" and she does, she pursues her own career and path, granted he helps in some ways, but she truly focused on growing. You gotta understand that she has liked him for years, ever since she was a rookie writer and when she admitted her feelings, then got rejected? She didn't let that stop her.
Most dramas have the male lead reject the girl, realizes he loves her, asks her back, and she goes back to him. Then suddenly there's a third party, and family members that intervene, this show? Does none of that. There are some characters that are interested in the male lead and female lead, but its not part of the main plot itself. Both parents are supportive of the leads and their friends are helpful.
IMPORTANT PART (for me): When he realizes that, "Oh, I never realized that she does mean to me." He learns how to be better. Cooks for her, openly tries to pursue her while respecting her at all times. At first she even kept rejecting him, and then letting him pursue her, and when she feels that she still likes him, she has common sense to ask, "is this a heat of the moment situtation?" its so rare to find a female character that doesn't gets easily swayed and shines in the same way the male lead does (career wise).
Most dramas are meant to be an escape of reality, something to get you immerse in something [I know I'll never have]. Yet shows like this one, gives the representation that women aren't always easily swayed and still can choose to pursue her career The romance is also so good, the maturity and intimacy was good. The show is funny at times too. (srs, the secretary and male lead was a funny duo, lmao)
Overall: You should watch it, give it a shot. I liked it.
