This drama hit just the right spot at the right time for me. Sweet, funny, tender, touching, sad… It had everything. And I loved all the characters, both Lu Miao’s friends and Jiang Haoyue’s friend - yes, singular - and all the family stuff that was simply heart-wrenching…
I really liked how the drama handled Jiang Haoyue’s disability. It did not make him any less and it didn’t really hinder him in his everyday life but that did not mean that it wasn’t an issue, affecting both his health and the financial situation of his family. And it wasn’t a thing that would ever go away. And I loved that Lu Miao never saw Jiang Haoyue’s disability as a problem because she’s only ever known him with it, there was no Haoyue without it in her memory and so she simply accepted that this was his reality and there was no need to debate it or pick it apart. Haoyue was Haoyue as he was for her.
I read that Zhang Linghe said that out of all the characters he has played so far, Jiang Haoyue was the one that affected him the most. No wonder. ZLH was just amazing here. He gave his all, especially in emotional scenes that were truly felt but never overdone. Fantastic. And when you realize that ZLH studied electrical engineering not acting, that he’s basically self-taught and has only been in the business for two-three years? Wow.
