I started watching this drama because I saw clips on DouYin and really needed something to watch. It's amazing.

The storyline is fantastic. It doesn't lag around and delay the plot for the sake of episodes; there's a constant stream of events that keeps the storyline going. The characters display growth-- even the "evil" characters. It's realistic in that manner; no character is continuously evil, nor are any continuously good. The character set is phenomenal (though you must admit, our leads are rather lucky to have the friends they do). The mother is realistic; I've seen people be upset at the mom, but she's an amazingly well written Chinese mother. She's like my own mother and I adored her character. Also, some people complain about a lot of time devoted to Gu Xiaoman/Chen Yichuan/Duan Ning's relationship, but I personally enjoyed it. I thought their storyline was very adorable and added to the overall story. Also, Duan Ning! I loved his character.

I hate to admit it, but I'm a skipper. When I get bored, I'll watch on 2 speed or skip. Not this drama. There's enough happening at all times for me to be continuously intrigued and willing to watch.

The leads are perfect together (so much so people are questioning if they're actually a couple). Their chemistry is phenomenal. The acting all around is absolutely fantastic and realistic. I adored every second of it.

The music is great! Haven't found it on Spotify yet, but when I do, it's definitely going in my playlist.

I'm not a romance lover; if you go to my watchlist, majority of my unfinished/unstarted/dropped dramas are romances because I got bored or get bored thinking about it. But this drama was so sweet (much better than Love O2O in my opinion) and adorable. It's absolutely worth it!
