"This ever-refreshing morning
made me believe that only when we lose the courage to start over,
does youth truly come to an end."
Hi I absolutely loved this drama
- Loved the development of the character, even the family of the leads. It was refreshing to see the relationships between the characters and their parents. The parents are LOVELY every one of them have their own distinct character. Their friendships with one another were wholesome. (yes i loved the mothers friend group)
- It's relatable and it hits home (just like the title 😝)
- Life lessons, coping with grief and loss, liked to see the growth of the characters
If you enjoy a warm and easy to watch drama (that is somewhat school-related) to unwind after a long day, I'd recommend you to try it out. And if you dont really enjoy watching school dramas, don't worry, its not like cringey type, it still has other parts of their life so it doesnt focus totally on school. It also shows their life growing up, transitioning, hobbies, relationships with family etc.
Didnt regret watching this at all. Chanced upon this after watching WIFTY and this plot kinda reminds me of it.
But also has some differences from WIFTY for eg, more focus on the parents too
SPOILER ALERT

JingXichi:
started off as seemingly slightly irresponsible --> more mature, and rational
ChenHuanEr:
started off as bubbly and slightly lacking in confidence --> more mature, and confident
𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
QiQi: one of ChenHuanEr's first friends in new school. i liked that her relationship with her mother did improve slightly. I didnt fully like her character, though i can kind of see why she is the person she was (partly because her mother is kind of cold, aloof too) i feel like she mostly thinks for herself. but glad to see her move on from her past.
SongCong: He deserved more, i am so glad that QiQi and him didnt get together in the end(even though on surface they might look matching) but this guy hes so precious pls ... he made earrings for her??? and it's handmade??? hes a keeper!!!pls you deserve more.
DuMan: Honestly I am not sure how I feel about SongCong and DuMan's weird romance going on... but i am still happy to see her, her character also has growth and there are struggles that she faces.
XinYan: bubbly, outgoing, extroverted. it was nice to see you class monitor :))) happy for her she has healed from her past crush on JingXiChi
LiTian: an intelligent and clever character who is quite comical in his own unique way, it did spice up the show. He ended up having a partner despite him saying “wise men dont fall in love (智者不如爱河）” LOL
can still see hints of the characters being the same person when they were slightly younger, which is GOOD, shows coherence with storyline.
𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝:
- homely environment, that the parents take turns to care for their friends' children (like cooking them meals) because they do night shifts, features a comfortable vibe
-the main leads truly care for one another i liked that they started off as friends, showing their very real sides, then becoming besties to lovers
-how JingXichi stands up for ChenHuanEr right in the very beginning caught my eye (it showed a soft side to his exterior, that he was actually a kind person and considered her as his friend, even before they knew each other very well)
-how ChenHuanEr encouraged JingXichi during his setbacks
-how the friend group in class goes out on outings together
- back part: how the main leads talk out and resolve their differences during quarrel, was quite realistic showing the struggles of long distance rls
- i liked the filming, directing, the angles and how the story was being told
- script was good, not super lame, i think it was quite natural
𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝:
i think certain characters' acting could be improved. i have no problem with the main leads but 2nd female lead may have limited range of expressions, though i think she did a pretty decent job already.
would have loved to see a little more of their home neighbourhood (家属院）scenes again and the family's scenes also in the back part (tho they did show them reuniting in the neighbourhood)
when they transitioned into university life i felt that i missed the life they had back then... though it was also important to show them transitioning into adulthood
the last episode felt a little bit rushed... thought it was a decent attempt at tying up the knots and all, and closure of the characters, but would have loved to see the parents for one last time too
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬:
when the last episode ended, i was sad to see them go.. that feeling of watching a good drama the last episode is bittersweet. will miss them hence rewatch value is 9.5
if you read until this far, thank you for reading !! its my first review <3
