Lazy writing. Don't waste your time!
Had big expectations from this one, who wouldn't after the Princess Royal.
I believe even youku and others expected big from this.
I was sad that cctv dropped this show, but also read that they were confused that this didn't fit into what they wanted at all. Now I understand why.
This is neither a youth show nor a romance one.
Except building up of Yingtao' character, it's like if they didn't even care about the rest characters at all.
Qiaoxi is a tortured boy who likes Yingtao. Few minutes and viewers should be OK with it.
The squad: one like Yingtao, one is infatuated with the other, the rest two have no ambitions or real meaningful sentences if not related to Yingtao.
I got that this story revolves around Yingtao, but this isn't just revolving because all other characters are so uni-dimensional, zero character growth, zero character depth. Mere objects just fit in to support Yingtao.
In fact I would say that everyone are doing only guest appearances in this show because they don't have anything else to make them endearing to a viewer.
For me it's a failed adaptation completely.
If you want to really enjoy a good youth show, with all friends having an arc, meaningful arc, then this is the wrong show totally 😂.
Don't waste your time.
Only gave a rating of 6.5 because of actors and the kids in first episode.
Adding to my review above:
any so-called chemistry between Yingtao and Qiaoxi are only because viewers like both actors and they have a off-air natural chemistry, because storywise it makes zero sense how and why these two should even be in love?! infatuation maybe, purely physical attraction- but love? sorry you lost me here! They hardly have any worthwhile scene to prove this ardent so-called love.
