A heartwarming tear-jerker that makes for a good watch when you have some extra time on your hands.

Storyline: Let's face it, it is a story about siblings based on a manhua, the setting revolves around high school teenagers, it will not be Shakespeare. Having said that, it did not bore me as much as many others do. Everyone who has ever had a sibling or have siblings will find this series very relatable. It has its comedic moments (although I would say a lot of that is overused), but the sad moments in this drama is what makes it memorable.

Cast: I have seen Zheng ShunXi in other roles (Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre) where he really sucked. He had zero chemistry with the leading ladies of other dramas he has been in. In this drama, I was extremely surprised to see how well he performed. He is an amazing fit for this role. Although I agree with previous reviewers that the two leads portrayed a very classic sibling relationship, I found Sun Qian's character to be extremely irritating and immature. This obviously may not be the fault of the actress, but I could not help wondering if it would come across as less annoying if the part was played by someone else. The real highlight is that the supporting roles were played very well and the majority of the cast were likeable, which made it a very feel-good sort of drama.

Music: Not a big fan of the songs but they were not extremely awful either.

Conclusion: It is not a 'must' watch, I would only recommend watching it if you have some extra time on your hands. There are better shows out there.
