A breeze to watch.

Ok, this is by far the most enjoyable if not the best (at least for my taste anyways) drama I've watched during this pandemic. Save for the scenes of the Zhi Yi-Lin Nuo couple, I never skipped any scenes, which says so much for me. Zhi-Yi's just annoying in every scene, except for maybe a couple of scenes where she encouraged/defended Yun Shu. I must commend Zhao Luo Ran for her crying scenes, though. I like it when actors cry like any normal person does. Like, with red swollen eyes and eyes brimming and overflowing with tears. Not "crying" but still trying to look good, I like actors who could cry like how a person normally does, even with snot and all, it that makes sense.

The drama had its share of flaws but I appreciate that there were no overly annoying antagonists for the main couple and exasperating misunderstandings (especially those due to lack of communication) between the main couple. This is the first Miles Wei or Shu Ruo Han drama I've watched and I must say, I liked their acting. MW may have played an aloof and somewhat naive guy but he played it so well, without acting emotionless and going overboard with the poker face. He also as good comedic timing and his little facial expressions are done quite well. I liked SRH's acting, too. Her acting is a breath of fresh air, comparing it to other actresses playing the same student/immature/naive roles. Her role got herself into a lot of trouble and was quite the ditz but her acting was never annoying. I found every characters' lines and interactions quite natural and realistic, too. Like, the Yun Shu-Yun Lan sisters' dialogues/interactions/relationship, for me, is realistic. Overall, this is an uncomplicated, feel good drama. Recommended for those sick and tired of all the negativity in the real world. A must watch (and rewatch)! ?

Edit: I forgot to add, I'm just a viewer and don't know anything about drama productions and all that but I don't understand why dramas who go all out on locations and other things skimp on the costume department. Like in this case, Yun Shu keeps wearing the same clothes. Like, the same skirt (if not the whole outfit) in every latter episode. I just don't get it. I'm an ordinary person and I have a lot of clothes, and I imagine actors have so much more (plus they could get sponsors) so I cannot comprehend how they'd just go with whatever they let them wear (to the point that it does not look realistic anymore). If it were me, I'd rather wear my own personal clothes. Well, that's just me.
