rating of the drama production team 4/10. watching this drama felt like being chased by a deadline.
I've been waiting for this drama since I finished watching their previous drama, THE PRINCESS ROYAL.note : we listen, we don't judge.
At that time I even read the translated novel Cherry Amber (Our Generation) first. I was very excited to wait for this drama especially because the story of the novel was very good, even though the novel was a translation, not the original novel. So I hoped that this drama would be better than the novel itself. Seeing the videos taken by some fans made me really look forward to this drama. Until finally I was sad because this drama which was originally 40 episodes became 24 episodes. and that made me not expect more from this drama. yeah, and it turned out to be true. after I watched this drama, this drama had a lot of cut scenes. watching this drama felt like being chased by a deadline. This drama actually has a very good story. It's normal for a woman to chase her crush, in this world there must be people like that. and after watching the Hong Kong scene, I came to understand why Yingtao was chasing Jiangqiaoxi so much. Because besides liking Jiangqiaoxi, she knew that JQX also liked her but couldn't because of his circumstances. It's not that he can't, but he wants Yingtao to wait for him until he becomes a successful man. In fact, Yingtao loves him for who he is even at his lowest point. So, this isn't a story about a girl chasing after a guy like crazy, but they've liked each other since childhood. But it's hard for the guy to like the girl because of her broken family situation. The girl likes him for who he is, but the guy doesn't want the girl to get hurt because she has to enter his world.
Okay, let's talk about the number of episodes that were originally 40 to 24. I really didn't enjoy the drama. Because watching this drama felt like I was being chased by a deadline. I was even willing to watch this drama even up to 40 episodes. Because this drama has a good story. Not only about romance, this drama also tells about friendship, family, stories of problems that relate to real life, etc. Even the director is not good at taking angles during filming. What should be zoomed in was zoomed out, and vice versa. And also many scenes were missing. For example, they should have shown the scene between JQX's mother and JQX's older brother, and they should have also shown the scene where Xiaoman finds out that Yingtao will meet JQX. There are many more missing scenes. I hope this drama shows more of the Mountain Squad's childhood moments. It would make it feel more like they miss their childhood.
And for the acting, I like Lin Yingtao/Lin Qile the most. She's very good at acting. Her acting is very rich, making her acting less boring. And as for Jiang Qiaoxi, I prefer his acting in the Hong Kong scenes. I don't like his acting when he was in school.
I really liked the Hong Kong scenes. It was such an emotionally draining part. I'm sad that it only aired for a few episodes. I wish this drama had more episodes so the audience could get more emotions from watching this drama.
This drama has a good story, and it would be even better if it was directed and produced by the right people. Whatever it is, I remain grateful and appreciative of the hard work of all the actors and actresses and the entire Our Generation team. I hope you all listen to the criticism and suggestions from the audience well.

the best cdrama that i watched so far
the story, visual, cinematography, chemistry, ost, acting, etc. all of them was so perfect 💯💯💯 so far, this is the first cdrama that i watched many times. there aren't many good modern cdramas like this, i mean they often talk like kids but not with AASOL.You must watch this cdrama.
Even though the story is not heavy, i mean .. there is very little conflict, for some reason this drama is very addictive and makes me want to watch it over and over again.
the concept of the drama is modern and classic. that's why the storyline in the drama is slow.
This drama is the definition of the word 'everything is beautiful'. From its romantic story, to its beautiful scenery (even every scene is so beautiful that I can make it my wallpaper haha), even many romantic scenes in the drama are not common, I mean they (aasol team) are very good at making those sweet scenes. the words in the script are also very good OMG!! i love the scene + lines when linyiyang confesses his feelings to yinguo. it was very tense and quiet. and I love the line after they see the stars. This drama truly defines the meaning of the words 'every scene is beautiful'.
