I started watching this because I had just finished watching Love in the Clouds, and I loved Neo Hou's acting and smile. I went in blindly, saw it took place in 1996 and I went for it. I love these dramas that show strong friendship and their everyday struggles. I was NOT expecting Hua Biao's character to be so cheery and encouraging, his smile in the first episode had me in a chokehold!!! His character would have been the lad I would be madly crushing in school. He was the ond that outshone the rest, and I just loved his onscreen presence, and his story arch. The amount of times I caught myself replaying some of his scenes would've made me finish the drama much sooner than before. Absolutely magnificent. The rest of the characters were charming as well but I didnt quite like the subtle misunderstandings especially between Hua Biao, Yang Xi and Li Yu. But I'm glad it didn’t drag too much. Huang Deng Deng was really charming here as well, I loved her determination in getting to be acknowledged by Li Yu. Ugh I dont think I'll be getting over this drama any time soon.
