Gwangju, Korea
The main characters interact great with each other and show good acting skills. They fight for there dreams from the beginning 'till the end and try to help each other and their friends as much as possible.
The other characters also have a great chemistry with everyone else. There are many different kind of persons so i think every viewer can find some character to compare themselves to. Even the more 'unlikeable' characters will grow to your heart for sure ;)
The storyline is sweet and shows how to chase after dreams and find friends and lovers. They also talk about relationships with familys eventhough they have a busy schedule training and helping their friends out. From narcisstic to shy characters, this drama has them all!
If i would have to choose some keywords for this show it would be: friendship, dream, past, trust and fun.
It also seems that they really worked hard to portrait the life of actual swimmers trying to become professional - they did a great job!
The music is one of the points i reaally loved in this drama too. Nice music and the main characters are singing some of the songs!^^
Totally recommend this drama, you won't waste your time for those 36 episodes:)

The storyline isn't deep, but cute and easy to follow. Sometimes it's weird, but it's because it's a commercial and they needed to show the beauty products. This is really good for korean beauty lovers who want to know some things about good products and also for fans who like the kshow "Lipstick Prince", because there are handsome guys doing make up for pretty girls~
I also really enjoyed watching the different supporting characters like the family of the main girl and her classmates. They have there own personality and history (sometimes a bit weird again because it's a beauty commercial...).
There are many moments where you think "This is too much... it's weird and REALLY cringy." BUT if you just want to spend some time watching some funny cute show, this is perfect for you!
Romance, Comedy, sometimes a bit*ch fight, good looking people (like in every kdrama) and last but not least second male-lead-syndrom T.T~
But attention, you will have the urge to buy all the beauty products -_- *ihavenomoney*

So first of all the cast. I don't know many chinese actors, but I will surely watch more of the ones who portrait this drama. The main characters aren't just really good looking, but also good at acting.
The character of Bo Hai sometimes seems a bit confusing, but he just has many unsolved childhood problems and is insecure. Ling Lingqi is a really good choice of charavter, as she has a sweet personality. She is naive but stubborn, so she really tries the help the ones she loves unconditionally.
The friendship of three of the main characters is also really great. They stay with each other even in hard times. But there are even in this friendship some interesting secrets to make the story exciting!
The story at first seems a bit flat. Ling Lingqi likes her idol so much that she tries to work for him. And a miracle happens, she is allowed to. Not only that, but she discovers a way to meet him even in his actual dreams. Interesting, a bit weird, but really fits in the theme of this drama, of a dream like romances... But there are not only the good ones, there can be nightmares.. everyone has them! Eventhough the ending is really dragging the story through the last ten episodes and the clishe`s at the end are getting worse and worse... (some would consider it cute, actually me sometimes too)..
I would really recommend to watch this and see how the story starts changing it's directions and more secrets get revealed. And the connection between seemingly unconnected characters...

The story is really cute. Friends living in an orphanage, some even using the same last name, so just a big friendly family with big dreams - living in Taipei. It seems like the whole drama will be about them getting through college successfully, but only the first few episodes surround that theme. Most of all the drama talks about the difficulties of living in a big city without any help and the ups and downs of strong longtime friendship. Obviously mostly about the two main characters Wuxian and Yuanman that`ve liked each other for a long time.
So this story has everything you need for drama, heartbreak and shocking happenings that will make you go on watching eventhough you might get bored on some point or the other.
The music in my opinion is great and fits the atmosphere. Also the actors were a great choice.. Ben Wu is really good looking (sorry.. not sorry) and Ivy Shao is great at showing the complicated emotions of Yuanman. Hou Zicheng.. the third main character is also portrait greatly by Daniel Chen, as he shows the childlike choices but warm intentions right at the start,
All in all I think I wouldn`t rewatch the whole drama, but maybe a few scenes and also wouldn`t drop this drama as it is a cute drama to watch for your weekly dosis of clishee. A solid 8/8,5 out of 10...

The story, the cast, the chemistry between the characters, just everything!
The story all in all was good to follow. It was not too much.
The chemistry between the main characters was the best in the movie. It was just great to watch them together. I especially liked the kind of Tsundere type acting of Haruyama towards Kazuki and how she acted towards him.
The "fights" between different motorcycle gangs weren't shown much, even if i thought it would be an important point for the story.
Some things suddenly happen to keep the story interesting and eventhough i didn't expect it would end like that, you can look forward on seeing it!
Like i already said, the actors did a great job in enterpreting their characters to the fullest, eventhough it was sadly just a movie, so short :(
I can't add more, it was just nice!
The music just did it part to help building an atmosphere. It wasn't too much music, so on some points you can just focus on the dialogs or monologs of the characters.
I really recommend this movie to everyone! I watched it about three times now and i still enjoy it!
