CONS:

- Drama too long, with a lot of lengths. The story is diluted, with worn-out twists (the ex's return with a child, for example).

=> Lots of zapping despite the cast...

Inconsistency in character's personality.

I've been enjoying this drama with a captivating storyline. Each episode begins with a brief, engaging flashback that showcases the characters' friendship, values, and past antics. The series excels at portraying an interesting friendship among four distinct individuals who support each other, despite their differences.

As an audience, I was initially drawn to the female lead's determination in pursuing her love interest, Jiancheng. Despite his indifference, she put in considerable effort to win his affection, which helped shape our perception of her character. Which was firm willed, determined and person who is ready to fight for her love.

However, the later development of her relationship with Ye Han revealed a different side of her personality. She became overly sensitive and indecisive, ultimately ending the relationship due to a misunderstanding. This portrayal contrasted sharply with her earlier characterization, as she seemed to give up on love easily or failed to appreciate its value.

It's disappointing to see such a drastic change in the female lead's character, We as a audience make a guess of character's personality based on what we watch, and all of sudden the female lead starts to things which is inconsistent with her personality. I hope the writers address this inconsistency in future work. A more nuanced and coherent character arc would significantly enhance the viewing experience for the audience.

This drama is GOLD.....definitely worth a watch!

This drama has unfolded into a pleasant surprise...... and I have found it funny and refreshing, with its interesting story-telling style. Every alternate episode begins with a prelude of an interview with Ye Han's character (played by Hu Yi Tian), as he reminisces about his longtime friendship and days of youth with his buddies. It's heartwarming to watch the friendship of the 4 guys with their vulnerability and honesty in relationships. Many funny moments as well, when they realised that no matter how old they get, they can still act like boys and be in denial about their age! I like all the actors, except for the actress playing Xu Jialin......she looks too immature for the role and incompatible with her screen boyfriend. Good character development and storyline overall.

Great Mature Series

Great mature drama, with Hu Yitian & Liang Jie's excellent chemistry, capturing friendships through to adulthood. Never giving up and maintaining their own personalities.
Can't believe it took 20 episodes for the leads to get toegther. The FL shouldn't of been so undesicive about everything, all the time. After everything endured by lead couple the marriage proposal was awful. The SFL & SMLs relationship made me want to smack her, he couldn't have been more giving and she was just awful. Don't even get me started on the TFL, why did she need to act like a elementary school girl through the whole series? It was awful, all I wanted to do was cringe at every scene she was in. Her baby voice and tantrums made me want to fast foward. Can't believe she was the one to get married and to the TML who she called brother, eww, her stalking him was just creepy and immature. The TML I Iiked, but his story should've been better. I've lost a spouse I get it, but to end up with the baby talking child I didn't get. Just an awful scenario. The 4th couple was just a hot mess. Dominant, overbearing wife, her attitude towards her husband was just terrible and after divorcing only wanted to be married again because she got pregnant and basically didn't want to be a single mom and she knew he'd take care of the kid. Just a awful storyline for them.
Not the ending I was expecting, it was to rushed and the ML & FL should've married, especially after 40 episodes. The best part were the 4 men's friendships to each other and their will to sustain it.

This drama is amazing and well made.

This is my first review after making an account in this website.
The reason I created this account was because I felt bad that i saw many people not liking this new drama so I decided to give a review myself. Everyone has its own likes and dislikes so every opinion is respected.

Many people find this drama boring, bad and out of chemistry but I think otherwise. I encountered this drama a few months ago but didn't watch because the poster got me uninterested. Later, few days ago I was very bored lately and this drama popped up again so I started watching it.

I read the reviews given and mostly say that the plot is not good which saddens me because this is one of the many dramas I've watched that made me feel so wholesome.

Many people don't like this drama because it's slow paced and mainly because many audience prefers the quick romance dramas in which sometimes its exciting but at some point boring. I like this drama because it is very realistic. There are many dramas that its romance seems to be unrealistic and something that will not happen in real life. This drama shows the reality of a harsh true love. When it comes to love, sometimes it does not comes and goes the way we want. Being in a relationship brings a lot of misunderstandings and lack of communication and that's something that needs to be overcomed in order to continue a relationship. I find this drama very moving. This drama not only portrays funny moments, it also portrays a past that everyone has which is something not easy to let go or forget, the journey of moving on, the insecurities and obstacles in a relationship, the relationship of a huge age gap that happens nowadays but so what, love is not measured by numbers, the freewill to do what you really want and so many concepts that are shown in this drama.

I really enjoyed a lot this drama and I would really recommend this drama to be watched. I like these types of dramas, there was not only romance but also a true friendship.
