A Cute Youth Romance with a Sweet Start
I enjoyed this web drama for the most part. It had charm, heart, and some truly adorable moments.
What I liked:
1. Cinematography: Surprisingly good for a low-budget series! The camera work felt thoughtful, like what I’d imagine if I were directing it myself.
2. Sweet & Funny Moments: There were plenty of lighthearted, cute, and genuinely funny scenes that made it a feel-good watch.
3. FL (Yu Mingxi): A relatable, likable character, an introvert with an extroverted side. Hardworking, sweet, and portrayed well by the actress.
4. Wang Chu Nian: An absolute scene-stealer. Adorable, real, and hilarious with her ever-changing crushes. “I like all the good-looking ones”,girl, exactly. Also, whoever styled her hair deserves a raise!
5. SML (You Jingchu): Very likable. Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded if he ended up with the FL. I enjoyed his friendship with FL so much.
6. Second Couple: Wang Chu Nian and Chen Su Jie had such cute chemistry and the height difference just made it more fun.
7. ML: Not a bad character, but I lost some interest in him during the second half. Still, I didn’t dislike him.
8. Friendships: Yu Mingxi and Wang Chu Nian’s dynamic was a highlight. Their bond was wholesome and adorable.
What I didn’t like:
1. Shaky Cam: At times the camera was too shaky, it distracted from the scenes.
2. SFL: Repetitive and frustrating. Her constant problems and pity plays wore thin quickly. Her backstory made her motivations understandable but overdone.
Her pairing with Zheng Wen felt like a “villain x villain” duo, which I didn’t really care for. (visually they make a good pair, I would watch if they act as the leads in another drama.)
3. ML’s Dubbing: While the voice suited him, it sometimes sounded like he was chewing his lines, especially when he spoke in English. Made me wonder if he memorized them properly.
4. Too Long: 31 episodes was a stretch. Tighter storytelling would’ve improved the pacing.
5. Last 3 Episodes: The ending didn’t live up to the strong beginning.
Overall: Not a bad drama at all, starts strong with lots of charm, but loses some momentum by the end. Worth a watch if you're into sweet youth romances with lovable characters.
