"When We Were Young", modern version

Dai Lu Wa plays in modern variation of "When We Were Young", this time as the female lead and with many parallel plotlines (ML is a newcomer in FL's class, the ML and FL have a teacher/pupil dynamics - just reversed this time, FL's clever classmate whom she knows for a long time has a crush on her, carefree but generally supporting brother of FL, incomplete family, dysfunctional family, etc ...). It works pretty well, you just have to approach the drama with the "When We Were Young" setting in mind - romance is not the central point here, but just a part of the overall picture of high school years and life. Only issue I have so far is that Dai Lu Wa's character has a bit too much Mary Sue's vibes, especially in the romantic subplot - not just two, but three popular boys chasing after her (plus countless others just being mentioned) while she is the ice queen who generally ignores them all. Her Huang Deng Deng had much more "rooting for" dynamics (and so did Yang Xi), but maybe this changes in later episodes.
