Light, but meaningful drama.

BACKGROUND INFO:
Ye Zhenhan is Ye Weimian's younger twin sister. Ye Zhenhan was in a car accident, so she was in a comma. Ye Zhenhan had really good grades, and teachers gave her many opportunities because of how smart she was. Ye Weimian didn't want her sister's opportunities to go away, so she decided to take her sister's place in class. That is when she met Gu Yanluo, who is also in that class. They eventually fell in love, but Ye Zhenhan finally wakes up and people start discovering that Ye Weimian had a twin sister all this time. Watch the drama to find out how Ye Weimian and her twin find a way to solve problems, how Gu Yanluo reacts to this, and what Ye Weimian's love rival does.

STORY-------------------------------------------------------
The story is really awesome. It's difficult to describe in words. Most 24 episode dramas that take place in collage or high school are normally really light hearted, and only about how a relationship develops. I've seen reviews for those types of dramas (Put Your Head On My Shoulder and Professional Single), and the reason for such low reviews is because viewers complain there is no really plot to the story. This drama is definitely different, and I love it a lot. The backstory is very interesting, and it's always nice to see the chemistry between the leads. The drama is very even, giving that there is no character who is over the top, or emotionless. I do wish they had a few more episodes at the end, to add on even more to the story. But this plot is very good, and I hope they make more dramas like this!

ACTING/CAST---------------------------------------------
I am actually new to the leads in this story, but I know that the male lead (Gu Yanluo) has acted in other dramas as well as a support role. I'm glad that he is the main role in this drama. The female lead (Ye Weimian) really possesses great character, and suits the male lead very well. The second leads are also cute, though they seem very stereotypic. But I also love how they emphasized Ye Weimian deep relationship with her sister (Ye Zhenhan) and best friend (Lu Yao). Gu Yanluo shows more sensitivity as a male than other male leads in short school dramas, which I really like. The rival of Ye Weimian gets on my nerves, but that just means she's acting well. Everyone fits in a nice position, but I would like it more if Yan Jiuyue (Ye Zhenhan's best friend/boyfriend) took a stronger role in the story. That would make the story more interesting, and I think that actor has a lot of potential.

MUSIC-----------------------------------------------------
I heard 3 main songs in the drama, and the songs were good so I'll be looking up the OST later!

REWATCH VALUE---------------------------------------
I'm really not the type of person to rewatch dramas, since I know there are so many dramas out there to watch. I probably would rewatch a few of the clips here, and it really depends what type of person you are, and how much you like the drama.

OVERALL--------------------------------------------------
Overall, this was an amazing drama, and if I could find more of these, then I would watch them! The male and female leads are amazing, and they should be the main role in other dramas more often! There were some parts that were a tiny bit cringy, but they are just doing their job. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a slightly more emotional drama that isn't crazy. I would also recommend this to the people who complain that high school/collage setting dramas have no real plot. Have fun watching!
