Such a good story

I loved this drama the first time I watched it, it held my attention the entire time. Sure there weren't many if any angsty moments. Things go relatively smoothly for the couple once together. They have great chemistry together and a ton of sweet moments. If you like shows with lots of angst and drama you probably wont like this one.

Pros:
The leads both actually like each other. In the beginning they have misunderstandings but throughout the drama they actually communicate with each other and demonstrate a healthy relationship.
The second couple isn't forced or given an inordinate amount of screen time. The story focuses mainly on our main couple and their life.
Lack of love triangles. Not that there aren't any, it is just that our leads shut them down and don't entertain them.
The series sticks pretty closely with the novel it is based on which is nice.
The young boy wanting to stand up for the FL and 2FL all the time. I think the young actor did a great job in his role.
I feel like this drama fits well within the found family type of drama. The couple both have family issues, and depend on each other as well as their core group of friends more than actual family.

Cons:
While the drama held my interest on the first watch through I do find myself fast forwarding certain portions on subsequent viewings.
I wish they explained more about boy staying in Beijing, They gloss over some details that explain his situation.
Some moments from their past were shown to much, we got glimpses of past events from each of the leads pov which was nice but sometimes felt repetative.
I wasn't a huge fan of the final episode. I hoped for more even if it was a conclusion for out 2nd couple, or more of the main couple together as family.

Cute sweet drama free

This was a very cute and sweet drama. Following four characters from high school through college.

The Pros
-The first several episodes I found to be the most interesting when FL didn’t know her connection to ML
-once FL found out her connection with ML they were very sweet with each other no break ups or major misunderstandings
-ML does a lot to help FL from the beginning, even doing this that put him far out of his comfort zone. This applies to helping her with college entrance exams, staying in China for college, then into going abroad to pursue her dream he steadily supports her
-no horrible parents drama. Sure FL’s mom is a bit pushy but it’s clear she’s just trying to make sure FL has successful life
-no serous love triangle as once they are known they are kind of shut down for main couple anyway

The Cons
-second couple relationship issues drag on too long. I feel like he genuinely liked SFL in high school but like why was he so dense to the point it was annoying
-SML was loud and obnoxious a lot which made me want to skip his scenes. I get that’s how the character is written but it was a bit much for me.
- Lacked a clear transition from friends to lovers for main couple. For as long as it took for them to go from friends to a couple nothing really changed between them.
-lack of romance. Yes the drama is sweet and has a lot of sweet moments but I feel like it lacked a lot in the romantic sense especially once they moved in together
-FL babies ML a lot I think this is why sweet moments between them are sweet but not necessarily romantic


Overall it’s a very cute drama without much actual drama the actors played their parts well and it was an easy watch.
