Nicest youth/slice of drama!

This is actually, if not the best, one of the nicest youth Chinese dramas i've seen. It was more of a slice of life than youth actually 'cause they had to deal with issues such as disabilities, broken families and such. I thought at the beginning I wouldn't like it 'cause I'm not really a fan of dramas without romance in it. Altho this drama has very little romance... I loved how they held back on romance and focused on their studies, rather than some puppy love (the contract) and waited for themselves to mature, know what they really want before they get into the relationship. Really, i'm a sucker for mature relationships (not in the sensual aspect).

I really loved the family stories. Whenever there's such a scene, it really leaves a big impact, a heavy heart, and teary eyes. It's very similar to Go Ahead but I would say I like this better (in terms of the family story), but in terms of romance, definitely Go Ahead. I didnt like the mom, just like how I disliked her in Go Ahead, she's really fits that bad mother-in-law, but I was touched in the end because her daughter understood her intentions even if she had a nasty personality, and that was really touching.

The acting was definitely great. I liked the male lead from Sparkle Love and I think he looks very much like Got7's Jinyoung, a tall version. Plus, i find the female lead really pretty, her eyes are so nice. Their roles are actually perfect. I found out also that the girl is only 16 irl, probably why there's very little romance. I liked all characters tbh, even that Guoguo and that Su DaiFei. But I particularly loved Qu Wei!! I actually thought they were'nt going to be friends but I loved how he was like the love guru, so funny.

Bottomline, I could really say it's the best youth drama i've seen, and it's rare for me to love dramas without romance or slice of life dramas. So this one's really great. I'd give it a 9, -1 for not having more romance.
