imo, the story will be much better :
1. IF they show more the struggle of Mi Ka to be neurosurgeon and more on her daily life as young residence. I really enjoy when she suddenly moved to ER team and overcame her own insecurity, dealing with failure. But as she's back to neurosurgeon department, everything become to good to be true for her storyline. just as Ke Lei have stepback in his jobs when he has brain tumor, I kind wish Mi Ka also have her own setback story.
2. IF Dr Zhao never have past romance with Ke Yao. And instead, they should have started romance when they just meet in present time. I think it would be nice as Dr Zhao is very talented doctors and it's normal for his character to work hard in his younger years and put aside romance. I'll definitely invest in more adult first love romance.
3. IF there has never been 2ML for 2nd couple. It's really unnecessary heartbreak. Love story between "rich girl and poor boy" already interesting enough.
4.IF the 2nd couple love story is the filler distributed in several episodes instead of become one of main theme in some episodes.
5.IF they have been broken up before Mi Ka go abroad. Then the hostage story have more impact as they "re-fall in love" as they meet again after years.
6.IF Ke Lei don't pretend to be doctor , and should have shown more scenes on police tactic and strategy dealing with hostage situation. He really didn't have plan when he's going inside. if you want to make it Speed situation, you better make it at least interesting.
7.and the most important one, IF THEY HAVE MORE KISSES.

I wanted to give this drama 9 but I will settle for 8.5. It's started strong until middle. I don't want to say boring, but it feels like anti climax. It's started focusing more on romance instead of their professional story (which I truly believe is the gem of this drama).It's no even t the main lead romance since their romance kind of settle in former episodes. Of course viewers are spoiled with some lovey dovey moment between main leads. But when you have a doctor and a policeman love story, you kind of want spice things up a little bit or bring romance to more on "melodramatic" side . Don't get me wrong, they do have one of mature relationship we've all viewers ever wanted for (they are both silly and hilarious and sweet, all at the same time). It's just the story feel mundane and nothing much happened. The first half gave effort on telling their jobs, struggle in career, too bad it was more less and less as story progress. It's still overall good quality drama, but I just feel the story could have done better.

Ouch. LITC is a mess tho 😔

Just starting to notice CZ in our secret. I like how he delivered his character there. proceed with all about a secret,his earlier work.while his acting shows some prominent there,the bad storytelling and how they wrote his character, made me could not appreciate his acting. XL wise,still can't not move on from LLG couples 😭. But Saoshang transition from 15 yo to 20 yo women was done perfectly by her. Her character, her face, even her voice just change like that. So, I am eager to see her works more. She has a lot of drama going on,but most of them just not my cup of tea.

From the leak scene it seems he's already in college, not high school tho.

I actually don't mind with the age gap,like My Mister. Goblin case,the FL is so childish, that I have a hard time seeing grown up man saw her as potential fiancee when she's still 17 (except with period drama, cause the proper age for women to get married is quite young). If she's young and shows some maturity (like Doctors), i guess it's okay,but Kim go eun portrayed her character as normal 17 high school girl. It's just mess up in my mind 😂.but from answer here,it seems more like childhood crush that eventually get into mature relationship once all of main leads in proper age.

Chief surgeon? But he looks so young.

Then you should know better. And what exactly the mom did? she meant well.but your mouth that instantly tell to punch your own mom because she give you tough love, showed how entitled you are as a kid.

Ok.I can live with that.in Goblin, ML was flirting and confess his love even when FL still act like toddler.the gorgeousness of Gong Yoo could not buy me to continue watching 😭

How ML feel at that time?

Hmm, well, that too simple. Literally just old crush story ? Nothing else ?

Hope so. Love like galaxy also she's being 15 and Buyi being 20. I don't feel ick. But, it's different era. I think I will skip the junior high era and start watching when she's in college instead. Lol.

But she's a girl, not even women yet.how come she has romantic feeling over college student ? Admire ? Ok. Love? I remember being 14 and crazy over boybands. But real life older man ,,🙈

Big age gap not issue here. But being 20 fall in love with 30 something man is not the same like 14 fall for 20. 14 is just just just too small. I took a peek on tiktok the manhua, and they portrayed her as this little cutie. I guess if she's 14 but has mature thinking, look mature, it's okay. But she's literally this bubbly 14 years old little girl. ML will be 21, college senior,almost a gentleman. And they have scene where he's sort of "date" with her ?? I want to see Lusi but I am afraid I will get ick feeling. Is there any way the story really interesting ? Sigh. The goblin is so much fun but I couldn't even finish it since the FL acted too childish. And I can't not see how a man fell for child with childish behaviour.

I watched movie version then this drama version. From movie, chi zi character is much much much more understandable than drama. In movie, she just this clueless kid who thinks she knows all,but ends up correcting her mistake in mature way. Drama version ? She's borderline villain.I don't get the writer. How come they make her so difficult ? She literally put tantrum on everything,like every small thing. And she did out of shallow reason, her "jealousy". She's 17, for God sake, not 10. She did come to her sense, but it's almost like in ep 20ish. Viewer patience tested for almost 10 episodes back. I feel bad for her actually. The ML shows nothing. Even in her worst time,the 2ML did all the work to be there for her. The ML was too busy with his own problem and share nothing. sometimes out of the blue he showed some compassion, but mostly just leave the FL misunderstood all the time. Their romance is doom from the start.

The Movie version gave more narrative to FL and ML character. And FL was so lovely there. Don Bowen movie is a mature character that look out for chi zi childish behaviour. While chi zi is his support system in a way that she's a home to him to go back to. CZ tried to be knows-it-all character not out of her jealousy,but genuine concern for DB. I feel like she acted more like "annoying" sibling to DB,but he always forgave her no matter what.

If you still prefer to watch cause the actors, try drama first and heal your soul with the movie version. Chen ze yuen good act already shown here. If you expect him to be like Siyuen character,prepare to be disappointed. let's say DB more like Siyuen in his first college years, and nonchalant about FL feeling.

For those who has read the novel, is it going to be like, I dunno, icky? When junior high student fall in love with senior in college ? I want to watch, but I can not get the fact why she would fall for college student when she's only 14 ? The same I could not pass Goblin. It is just to weird for me.

With tons of youth cdrama that tackles almost the same story line, secret fruit story felt like a new breath to youth drama. I did enjoy every bit of the movie. It's beautiful, the dialogue seems have more depth than others. Nothing grand about the romance plot,and kind of slow burn, but this is movie. So,you kinda watched it and knew that everything would happen in next two hours. I give the movie 9/10.

It's not that she's not smart,it's just she's not passionate enough to go up and beyond in computer science.and this is in China. I guess, science department quite common for "average asian student" to get into, and most people just going through without being high achiever in their major. And yes, siyue did go abroad and graduated there before came back at the same time Xian graduated.

It has the same vibe with Put Your Head In My Shoulder for high school era, but much much much better cause we have FL character that interesting and have its own character development, and FL and ML character that more relatable. It's 8.5/10 for me for high school era. It's down to 7.5/10 for college era. Mostly due to FL character that started to feel annoying. Thanks God writer came to him/her senses (as well as FL senses), made the show slightly up to 8/10. I don't put as much high as school era cause it's started to get a bit cliche toward end. It's still sweet but not as sweet and "awwww" moment as in high school. The acting of ML on point, he has good crying expression, but need to improve on kiss scene 😁. Overall, it's solid 8/10 for me. And compare to other famous high school Chinese drama,this drama actually have higher ranking compare to all. But of course it's still below ISWAK (the original) in term of passage of life-theme drama.

Nah, ML doesn't have instant crush on her. At first he just remembered her from the past. In first episode,she made savaged answer in his front room door scene,then from there, her holding a little grudge resulting her always bickering around him, made him a bit of "aware" of her existence. Beside, the FL kinda cute.imagine some cute neighbors just move in, every boy naturally have "curiosity".he's pretty much portrayed as normal character. Not super cold and anti social. So, yeah,if I remember clearly, they don't just fall like that. And ML crush started much bit later after her "hardwork" personality started to shine. And most of their closeness came naturally. Being neighbors, deskmate, her father asked him for help,etc. I mean, how long does it it take for teen normally have crush on each other ? I guess a month is kind of normal pace for me.
