From childhood to adulthood romance with difficulties along the way
About me:
This is the 3rd romance c-drama I watched after a 10 years hiatus from tv drama because of workload. I previously watched plenty of HK dramas. I am a Gen-X.
Comparison:
For romance drama, I watched Shine on Me, My Genius Girlfriend and this one. I would rank it this way:
1. Shine on Me 8.5
2. Love for You 8.5
3. My Genius Girlfriend 8.0
Pros :
The drama is well-paced with some guessing work as to what happened (heavy plots). I kind of like this kind of drama. I am currently watching Spring of the Blade which, I find very interesting too (9.0) but I won't be comparing it here because the setting isn't the same (isn't modern and isn't really romance). I also think all the actors and actresses did very well. Both ML and FL are introverts. So, they are not as expressive as some others but I find them doing a good job here. Probably the scripts and roles fits them very well. I think the directors are also giving very good pointers to them. I would say they collaborated extremely well.
Cons:
In my country, it is only available on Mango TV and Rakuten Viki. I couldn't find 4k. The 3 main major Chinese platforms for my country is WeTV, iQiyi and Youku. Even Youku International doesn't have 4k. This is the disappointment. Sometimes, I wish they could combine all platform into one because subscription onto all platform would cost us a bomb.
Conclusion:
I think, people like me who have been in hiatus from dramas from a long time would appreciate drama more. For people who watch it often, would probably have different expectations. Still, I like the drama - sadness, joy, happiness, loneliness, suspense and other types of emotions are in this drama.
