Yang Yang emotion and the well-structured story, a good portrayal of nowadays romance
The development of their feelings and relationships makes perfect sense and is relatable to everyone. From rejected high school love, reunion, slow-burn affection as a friend, everything they do in this phase makes butterflies in our hearts. The clichéd excuse of rejecting others because "you're too good for me", haha... this makes sense again. Which man whose self-esteem doesn't hurt when the woman he loves has everything (beautiful, rich, famous), as if she doesn't need a man anymore. But then regret comes late, the effort to get a second chance, how then they appreciate every little effort their partner makes and the time they have.I watched several Yang Yang dramas, he reminded me of Korean actor Lee Min Ho, who I think always plays it safe by taking on almost the same character in all of his projects, rich, arrogant, and charming male. At first, I thought Yang Yang would again want to play the role of a handsome and intelligent boy with overbearing charisma like in his previous dramas, but I was wrong. He showed a very slick emotional roller coaster in this drama as Yu Tu. How dilemma, doubtful, and heartbroken he was when he realizes that his idealism is not as beautiful as reality. How it hurt his heart when he realized he had the same feelings for Jing Jing but had to refuse because of his insecurities. How he portrayed the regret, and then how happy he was in the end. Agh... I really like the details of his micro-expression here. For Dilraba, there is no question. The characters she played in previous projects were quite sporadic, showing her ability to act in various settings. People will probably believe that she isn't acting in this drama and is just being herself because she's so natural. Can't wait for their next project, both Yang Yang and Dilraba. Their custome drama, hopefully, it will be even more epic.

The most accurate Chinese drama potraying professional profession
I am a psychologist. Of course, there's still many things to improved, but overal, it is super good. I don't know why the rating here only 7 (?)This is the first Chinese drama that do a good job accurately potraying the professional profession.They use the right term, they explain so...many psychological issues with a really good way. It's almost as good as Korean and American in term of this type of drama.
But, sadly, they kind of push it too much to make the storyline to worked. There's no way, someone without psychology background have right to conduct a hypnosis! It can be better if Xiao Xiao is undergraduate or postgraduate psychology student who write blogger then choosing to take Ph.D or certified course because her interest in hypnosis. But here, she is only a blogger who write about love and relationship because 'accidentally' developing interest when giving advice in radio.
I hope it will be more Chinese drama which can depicturing more profession with accuracy like this in the future.

Can't wait for the modern Zhousheng Chen, from Great General Xiao Nanchen Prince to Mr. Scientist
Upgrade Standard VIP to Premium VIP on iQiyi for unlocked episodes in advance. But now I feel like my Wednesday to Friday is empty. Still can't move on from this drama. At first, I didn't think they could bring up Shi Yi's memory in her previous life which was only a handful of stories from novels to be this good. But it's cool, they prepared an introductory story about how strong their love and debt were in their previous life, thus making Shi Yi's unconditional love in modern life make sense. Somehow, I regretted that the male lead was Allen Ren, because he had a commitment to not do the kiss scenes (I respect his principles though). This principle of valuing his marriage is one of the things he has in common with Zhousheng Chen's character who also respects, and greatly values his relationship with Shi Yi. Allen and Zhousheng Chen are living proofs of the definition of a gentleman. Maybe the intimate scenes that are seductive but also heartwarming in the novel won't be portrayed bluntly, but I can't imagine other actors playing Zhousheng Chen. The 'ordinary' look and the overbearing charisma really fit exactly as described in the novel (I am not saying Allen is an ordinary look, I hope you get what I mean). From One and Only, I'm sure that Allen and Bai Lu can interpret the chemistry as great as the one in the novel. Can't wait for the real deal of Zhousheng Chen in Forever and Ever. With a white laboratory coat, the gun scene, scheduled phone call, and overprotective hubby. Argh....Was this review helpful to you?

Why give a title and a synopsis about an athlete when the whole drama is about silly love story?
I gave up watching in episode 16, and even then with a lot of fast-forwarding. Still hoping in the middle of the drama there will be something interesting. Turns out? Nothing at all, it becomes even more absurd. I'm a psychologist and the psychological symptoms that the female lead shows are ridiculous in my opinion. It's getting worse when she suddenly recovers, ugh... Chinese drama, please... if you want to bring up the topic or issues of psychology, do some research! I can't watch it. I prefer Tennis Prince and Hikaru no Go, both dramas about sports, but they really highlight the sports element, the romance and friendship elements are felt by themselves without being forced. Although the acting is a bit exaggerated due to the adaptation of the Japanese manga, but the plot is clear, the sportsmanship is strong, and the characters are interesting. Isn't this drama airing around the same time as the Olympics because of its theme and to attract the market, but please, there's no real Olympic spirit in it.Was this review helpful to you?
A sweet yet frustrating story
After watching this drama, I am interested in the actor, his emotion here is so good in expressing the feeling the character carried.The story itself is so fascinating. There are several Chinese dramas with the same concept, but, this story really makes you frustrated. It looks like there is no way to change fate even you came back to the past and change the past again and again. What makes me upset about this drama is the ending. How come is the lead comes back like that without an explanation about what really happened in the past? After all that frustrating sacrifices? I really hope there is an extra episode or what to that.

This drama set the bar high for Chinese drama this year
Time loop theme in Chinese drama? It's refreshing. And it is so damn good. Really...really...good.The story, the acting, the emotion, the effect, oh my God! Completely in another level. Bai Jing Ting not a super power guy with manly demeanor. Jin Mai still that pure and kind girl with strong will, but with more intense and deep emotion. They both show us a really fantastic develop of acting.
I am not expect to opening this year with this super amazing drama. Definitely 'MUST WATCH LIST'. I can't express my satisfied and pleasant feeling about this drama with word. I think it kinda explain how great it is.
