Brilliant performance from Zhang Ling He and Zhao Jing Mai
I started this drama without much expectation, but ZLH blew me away with the vulnerable Jiang Qiao Xi. ZLH can just pull off so many roles from the sweet TMC doctor in Best Thing, to war general in Pursuit of Jade and now the innocent hurting JQX. Such a versatile actor.Zhao Jing Mai was really convincing across the age spectrum...such a breath of fresh air. Enjoyed the pairing. All the other cast were good too, including the children actors. While it is not an easy lovey dovey romance, the friendship and loyalty just tugs the heart.

Top notch performances from the leads
8 episodes and I am totally reeled in. It was hard watching the youngsters surviving on their own amidst scraps and recycling, but the acting was top notched. The vulnerability, giving all to protect despite having so little, was heart tugging. My fav drama from SWL so far and ZJY nailed the young Miao Jing. She is fast cementing her place as one of my fav female actresses, one that speaks so much with her eyes.Not your sweet, lovey romance drama (although the chemistry is palpable). I fear there's more angst from external factors to come but I imagine life is hard for many out there.
