Praise worthy!!! Double the joy of loving when you are each other's first love.

I love everything about this drama. What a way to start it by having episode 1 early stirring up your excitement. The screenwriter knew how to play it well and made a difference in stimulating the viewers’ interest in a common story of a school youth romance. All scenes are perfectly placed into sequence and it was not hard to follow moving from the back story during their high school days and then connecting it to their college lives in the present time. All the actors portrayed their respective roles in a seasoned way, unexpected for their age and while watching, it was as if you were seeing them in real because their acting out flaunted naturally. Of course, you will love the sweet, gentle, innocent, and provoking intimacy of the lead couple. It was a clever idea also to let the female lead get involved with a couple of men and supplement the conflicts of romance in the story. The second lead couple appeared especially charming unexpectedly and was given almost the same amount of exposure as the lead couple. Their friendship here was very ideal. Moreover, I so loved those parts in the story where the male lead's father was showing his approval and support for his son's dating.

Again, Chen Fang Tong has etched her name here for a short rom-com genre. She has become one of my favorite Chinese actresses ever since I saw her in “The Maid’s Revenge” and started checking out her drama projects like this one. She has such an adorable and lovely face. She’s like the Park Bo Young of Korea in terms of looks and can equally play serious dramatic and light comic roles. I gladly enjoyed this drama and have never been this satisfied compared to watching a few of the same kind. It was something plain and general but came out tasteful.
