The friendships in this show are everything. You can really feel how close the F4 guys are: Bright, Win, Dew, and Nani have such natural chemistry. The romance wasn't even the part that stood out to me with this show. Although, the last episode with the rain scene was so heartwarming to see how much Thyme and Gorya matured to care for one another. What I love most is how the show is about found family. At the end, these 5 characters ended up being each other's strongest support system and pushed each other to become better people and stand up for what’s right. Every emotional moment hits so hard because you feel their bond when everyone has struggles they are dealing with.
I loved this trope of childhood friends to lovers. The ML was constantly looking out for the FL and carried nothing but unconditional support for her. He just understands her in a way that is different from everyone else around them. Also, I didn't expect Wen Junhui to be that good of an actor, but he truly got me captivated into the story. As always, Zhang Miaoyi plays these cute, schoolgirl roles so well.
