I enjoyed this episode; a perfect weekend chill episode after the busy week

This sounds like a good choice to watch after I just finished The On1y One.  :-(

The On1y One  Finale

DO NOT read if you don't want to know ending details.

Anyone in the mood for ice cold mint tea? Seriously, that's the ending scene. I feel robbed. And thirsty.

I was even hoping for a time skip to adulthood at the last moment, with a romantic closure. NOT even a closure for the teachers.  Dang it!!

Ngl, not sure how I feel about this series, as the last half wasn't all that. Ep 11 had a few scenes I didn't get at all, like the whole getting locked in the gym and the little party with the teachers and inane convos. The word lame comes to mind.

Because I noticed the real age of both main actors, (29 & 30) I struggled a little with accepting them playing high schoolers. 

Never saw their parents again after they moved into the dorm or soon after, unless I missed smth. Well, except for the practically x-rated flashback scene Tian had of his dad, which was just about the only excitement in that department for the whole series. Sadly, not for the couple I was hoping for.

Come to think of it, whatever happened with the dorm theft story? Did I miss that too?

The good parts - I felt like Tian & Sheng had great chemistry so I felt bad when Sheng made the choice he did. Tian was so attentive to him and he never caught on. The actor playing Tian did a great job. I enjoyed the teacher and classmate characters.

The music throughout was super fantastic. Especially the last few eps. 

Lastly, I have trouble keeping this series separate from Addicted Heroin, another currently airing drama. The downside to watching similar stories at the same time maybe.

I rated it a generous 8/10 and crossing my fingers for a S2, but not holding my breath.

At this point I am wondering if I should just put it on hold and wait until the official announcement of season 2 because based on all the posts on X (Twitter) I would not even know how to rate this series. I feel like this is the type of series needed to be watched with a continuation of a season 2 so it all ties together well like We Best Love.

Not a bad idea. I can't say anything more without spoilers.
