To be honest the only negative about this show is that it ended so early. The characters are well developed and each get proper story arcs which allows the audience connect with them and build a favourite character. If I could change anything than I would have changed the last episode as the sudden switch to animation was a little unsettling in terms of the show's tone however it was still such a great drama and I was sad when it finished. It had such funny side characters but the main couple also had their moments. My favourite couple being DaYu and Zhi Shui because they were so funny and Zhi Shui was constantly playing hard to get. I wish they had a spin-off show. The way they presented the struggle that Xia Yao went through due to his lack of sexual attraction to women was well done and the way they presented the trauma he went through was perfect even though to keep the light hearted tone it was made humourous it still showed his instability. The portrayal of Yuan Zhong feeling of responsibility for his sister due to the fact that he practically raised her like a father and yet had to leave her alone when he became a soilder was used as a more complex internal conflict that led to Zhong and Yao meeting for the first time. The way the properly explained Zhi Shui's dark past and yet didn't destroy the tone of the show was extremely well done and I think Xue Feng did a great job acting as Zhi Shui. I watched this is 2018 when and I still rewatch certain episodes and enjoy the drama especially episodes that focus on DaYu and Zhi Shui however overall I enjoy re-watching all episodes of the show and I really do wish each secondary couple could have had their own spin-offs. Overall the cast was brilliant and so was the story line, production and direction, Yang Long (the director) should be really proud of this work.

In all honesty I was originally really excited to watch this drama and at first it was okay however the chemistry between the two main couples felt rushed and the constant dream moments that happened randomly were confusing. However I continued watching mostly for Tiger, Thor, Kao, Jaet and Max. The supporting roles seemed to have more character and kept the show interesting. The ending felt incomplete and the couple's didn't develop enough there was no real plot line that connected all the characters just these two go to school with tee and these are friends of Pond. It didn't feel like a finished product. This might have been because it only had 8 episodes and yet had a short concise plot that could be furthered into something that had a major concept that worked for all the characters. Instead we just got multiple kiss scenes that turned out to be dreams almost as though they just wanted lots of kiss scenes regardless of the plot development and side characters that could have had important and entertaining stories such as what was happening between Thor and Max and more about what sort of person Tiger is or even whether or not Kao and Jaet would be together. Or more about Pond , Per and Pad family relationship. I feel like it would have been better to make a longer 2 season series that focused on all of the many funny characters as well as the mains or a short 8 episode series that didn't bother getting into the side characters' lives at all over the actual show which is a short 8 episode series that focused too much on the side characters (of which there were too many for such a short show) and nowhere near enough on the main characters. I think a well planned side-show on Max and Thor would be so much fun as they already seemingly have a more justified chemistry and deeper possible character arc than Tee and Pond.
