Realistic story line, Cute and interesting interaction between main leads

Hu Yi Xuan is a good actress and i have watched most of her show. However i must say she excelled in this drama and this is her best performance so far in my opinion. Her portrayal of Xiao Ju is super solid armed with on the point expression that is displayed by her facial and body language. She acts exactly the age of the character xiao ju at different phase of her life. I really enjoyed her acting in this drama. Richard wang also acted really well for his character and this is actually the first drama i watched him in and i am impressed by how well he played his playful and naughty character. All other supporting roles also did their part well and i am loving all the cast especially Tao Tao.

This is a drama that feels real and not that many cliches you find in most ROMCOM which i really like about. Not all couples ended up together, they fall in love, make mistakes, make up and break up But the friendship is solid among them which keeps me going and wanting to watch more. They also have heart warming family members that can bring tears to your eyes. Xiao Ju and her little brother relationship is so relatable as i also have an older sister and we were exactly that way when we were young LOL(and we love each other too despite all the fights).

There isn't much romantic scene between the main couple but they made it up with tons of sweet lovely moments. Their interaction and relationship is so adorable that you will ship them and fall in love with them unconditionally. Most of the time they are squabbling with each other but they are so cute fighting each other it makes u laugh and smile unknowingly :) You will definitely ship the main couple and understand how they eventually fall in love.

*SPOILER*
There is only 1 thing i dislike about this drama and its that the main couple only got together officially in the final minute of the final episode. LMAO you are going to have angst over it. This drama could have been shorten by another 3-4 episode and it would be perfect. How they keep missing each other over misunderstanding is annoying. (this extended the whole drama by another 3 episode -.-) Lu Shi Yi initial attitude towards Xiao Ju after his returns from oversea is also annoying and does not make sense.(DUDE U CAME BACK FOR HER SO STOP TREATING HER LIKE U DID WHEN U WERE 18). <- this extended the drama by almost an entire episode.

CONCLUSION: i don't regret watching this and i will definitely rewatch it when i am free later on. WORTH the watch and i recommend all of you to give it a try, (Also Hu Yi Xuan is super cute and adorable here(just like she did in all her previous drama), her cute expression itself is enough to make you smile hahaha) SOLID 10/10 rating. LOVE IT
