THE best coming of age drama ever, my favorite cdrama of 2025 so far! 1000000/10!!!

Starts with a group of kids living by a canal, follows their stories into adulthood, overcoming challenges, deal with love and life. This left a deep impression on my heart, something i can never forget.
i dont like the slice of life or coming of age genre a whole lot, but this? changed my mind , surprised me and blew me AWAYY

What I Loved:

* Chemistry between leads
-bro?!? anyone saying wange and fenghua had no chemistry is either lying or blind. I used to think childhood friends to lovers was a boring trope, this? PERFECTIONNNN. the scene in episode 36 still makes me sob, oh how i wish that was me.

* Emotional moments
-this drama made me laugh and smile more then it made me cry, the emotional moments are so well done the cinematography just added to it and every moment was raw, realistic and so real.

* Character growth
-portrayed the change of youthful energy to adulthood so well, i felt like i was growing up and finding myself with them.

* Dialogue and writing
-extraordinaryyyy!, no awkward moment or dialogue everything felt natural and beautiful.

* Unique premise and worldbuilding
-i got attached to the leads so quick!!! cried with em, laughed with em, felt for them, amazing world building not ONE boring episode
.
Characters & Acting:
i loved how this story wasn't just surrounding one character, every. single. character, even their parents!, had a chance to shine and display their good and bad sides.
the acting from everyone was phenomenal,
i've only seen bailu here and chen ruis mom before, both blew me away again, i didnt know i could see bai lu like this she proved she is so deserving of her fame shes talented af.
and ohu hao? man ate and left zero crumbs, HIS EYES SPARKLEE, he speaks with them!! how is that possible?!?
and everyone else? again, jaw-dropping performance.

weak(?) points: (not really)
i have NOTHING bad to say about this drama in terms of anything but if i HAD to well,
-the episodes got very depressing at a certain point, but still with it they kept the warm atmosphere and feel in every episode like its insane to me.


Final Thoughts:
Best if you are in the mood to really invest your time into some GOOD QUALITY drama.
really made me rethink and ponder on a lot of things, i could relate to the MCS, too want to help my family when they are having a hard time, but im just a kid. It gave me some hope for my future but also taught me nothing in life is going to be easy but as long as i know my worth ill make it out.
i would recommend this to everyone, dont overthink anything WATCH THIS RIGHT TF NOWWWWW
i am so going to rewatch this a million times now, its just the best ever!
10000000000/10

the most adorable chemistry ever!

truth be told its not my most greatest watched cdrama atm,
it was nothing special to me but also nothing awful

i dont do well with xianxias but this started off AMAZINGGG i loved mu qingges and yishui's dynamic, and i liked that the RR undertones were still there in parts of the drama.
though it was very boring and repetitive for me in the middle, which is why i skipped some episodes as well
but one thing that stayed consistent and amazing was the leads chemistry
deng wei proved to be such an amazing actor i had no idea!! the yearning in his eyes? oh yeah thats the stuff
not just them even the side characters were great!

overall, this kind of plot isn't for me
but if you like action, great fight scenes and a complicated plot this is for you!

7.5/10 give it a try yourself

Beautifiul and healing

not the best but definitely not the worst,
one of the most beautiful and heartwarming cdramas i've seen in 2025 so far tho!

what i liked:
The story:
its so realistic man. often with dramas they try to come up with the most bizzare out of the world way for the leads to meet and end up but this one? felt so natural and real.
i at first thought it was a ''love at first sight'' thing which i don't really dig, but it started as a little crush from the ML's side and blossoming into such a healthy relationship, felt so real no pushy situations that felt off just to push the leads together.
-The OSTs:
every song is so catchy and absolutely beautiful, definitely going into my playlist.
-The cinematography:
idk how to explain it but its filmed like a kdrama, every scene is so beautifully shot and holds great meaning, gave me a sense of calm.
-The leads:
goddammit both the leads are such green flags! usually you see the ML giving his all in a rls but in this the FL is setting the standards hella high as well!!
-The side characters:
so positive and funny, loved MLs fellow doctor in the hospital his grandpa, FLs friends and her parents!!

however:
-The chemistry:
it was GREAT don't get me wrong, but at times felt a bit dry and awkward, both the actors are great and talented,at times i was even giggling and kicking my feet y'know. but nothing extremely memorable, still very beautiful and inspiring .
-2nd couple:
loved them SOOOO much even with so little screen time they were adorable, just wished they gave their rls more development, still liked how nothing else interfered in the leads relationship.
-The ex-bf:
the infamous jackass:
his character felt out of place even though hes the reason FL has insomnia in the first place, wish they explored his character, his reasons for his actions and stuff, would've made us feel for the FL even more but meh.

overall:
watch this when you're traumatized or tired of toxic plots, its very healing and inspiring.
solid 8/10

weirdly weird but fun.

lmfao idk what i jst watched.
it was okay but u can tell it was made to be an anime the actors did well tho
i LOVED the main couple, they were very cute
second one were fine, i liked poor hagi being so confused but they were very cute in the last episode
i LOVEEE asagi hes adorablee but i dont get why ppl like fuji, shes weird to me,
her entire personality is being a fujoshi and r-rated bl mangaka, and idk to me using real ppl are references for your NSFW work, AND taking pictures of them asleep tied up? its creepy, she is very hot tho but doesn't excuse her creepiness.
solid 5.5/10 from me
give it a go but its not for everyone

SOOO WHOLESOME AND ADORABLEEEE

oh man this almost gave me diabetes with how cute it was it ALSO made me cry. :D

the storys follows two individuals falling in love, growing up and experiencing life with their adorable friend group,
its everything i ever wanted in a highschool cdrama.

the story progresses very smoothly, the sweet days in their high school to the harsh unforgiving environment of the ''grown up life'' was so beautiful and entertaining to see.
all the characters were extremely likable like no one toxic character here, it felt so raw and real.
the groups friendship was one of the most real i've seen bcz yes friendships have ups and downs and you part ways sooner or later but this was immaculate.
the ending was so fluffy, i love the leads trust and love for eachother, no stupid misunderstandings so breakup so nothing just pure love and commitment.
the other characters dynamic was fun to see the second leads hurt me so bad they're on and off thingy was tiring but man they are just so cute i cry for them.
overall a solid 9/10 WATCH IT

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL JMOVIE IVE SEEN YETTT

MAN this was ADORABLE
the plot or story isn't something out of the ordinary but MANNN the execution? perfection.

Everything from the characters feelings to their romance is so perfectly shown goddamn i shed a tear.
what i liked:
-the FL: I felt for her, a people pleaser who hid her true feelings behind a mask, i felt so bad for her because her emotions felt so real especially thanks to the great actress.
-the ML: Hot dude who is a green forest, helping the fl gaining confidence while also showcasing his vulnerability.
-the cinematography: I have no words because the sunrise, the sunset and the rooftop scene all made me cry they were so beautiful
-non-toxic adorable and supporting side characters
WATCH IT RN

Funny, adorable and entertaining. solid 8/10

lmao i honestly went in with no expectations but i was pleasantly surprised.
anyone willing to invest their time in this, MUST know that this is literally not made to be ''great'',
its inaccurate sometimes, has little plot holes and the story may get dragging during the middle,

but the entire idea of the whole story being written by someone else is really refreshing and cute.
The writer (also the fl) writes a novel about literally EVERYTHING where she is the FL in the novel as well.
This has a contract marriage, supernatural powers, detective mystery, childhood friends to enemies to friends to lovers and two other adorable pairing with their own dynamics lmfao.
The ML in the novel exits irl as well, and him and FL meet at the end of the drama,
you might not want to see it bcz of it but their chemistry is so amazing trust me you'll end up wanting to.

the story is so incredibly hilarious and the FL and MLs acting and chemistry was what made me like the story so much.
so in conclusion,
def worth a try if you want something funny and unserious! <3

The best kind of love is the one that makes you want to change for the better.

omfg this exceeded all of my expectations and is one of the most beautifully done cdramas i have seen in 2025 so far.

-wen yifan? my love,my shayla oh my GODDD MY SHAYLAAAA. I love the way this story voices SA victims wen yifan is not alone and neither are the other innocent souls, seeing her grow stronger and braver and crack out of a dark place was inspiring and honestly beautiful to see.
she is ALSO breathtakingly GORGEOUSSS like sang yan my bro, i get it, i really do.
-the OST, I, much like everyone else is jamming to it as we speak i ADOREEE IT.
-sang yan? a man who yearns is a man who earns and sang yan proved that periodt. His love language is acts of service and it can be seen so clearly all throughout the drama i loved it.

one thing to add tho, i know most people's problems with this is that it seemed ''unrealistic'', such as sang yan being so deeply in love with her and yifan SEEMINGLY not ''reciprocating'' the same amount of feelings back.
but i call CAPP, they love each other in their own unique ways, while sang yans love can be seen through his actions, his yearning and his care. i personally think yifan expresses her love with her words, saying she wants to live 6 years more then him and the reason behind it omg girl i love you.
she loved him enough to leave her happiness for his safety and he loved her enough to look and wait for her for YEARS. Thats true love imo. they're perfect for eachother.

i may have had my own doubts when i was in the middle of the whole drama, but the last few episodes blew me away, the story was extremely enjoyable throughout and actually very heavy in contrast to hidden love.

9/10 would 1000000% recommend.
