An underrated gem, one of the best romance C dramas I have ever watched!

I finally found the drama which put me out of my C-Drama slump. Lately I had been having a hard time watching C Dramas. I would watch the 1st couple of episodes and then find it too boring to continue watching. The plot or the characters would bother me and I would end up dropping it. This drama was a breath of fresh air- it kept my attention from start to finish.
This drama is an extremely sweet love story ( as you might have already guessed from the title). The main leads are adorable and sweet and caring towards each other and their love is so pure and innocent. You'll be rooting for them as they pass hurdles together, supporting and loving each other.
If i talk about the story, it starts in the senior year of high school. Xia Lin Xi is a star student and JZH is the last ranking in class. That is not to say he is stupid, in fact, he is a computer genius who doesn't care about school or grades, until he meets Lin Xi. Lin Xi helps him out when he is struggling with his family's financial issues and a bond forms between them, blossoming into romance as they transition into University. Once they got together, there was literally no force which could keep them apart. No matter the amount of hurdles , they stuck together through thick and thin and it was heart-warming to watch. Their chemistry was so good, it felt so realistic. The acting was superb. my only complaint is that there weren't as much kissing scenes as I would like. However there were literally so many swoonworthy moments of our main leads that I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
The male lead really stole my heart. Even the female lead was intelligent and she wasn't portrayed as a damsel in distress who couldn't stand up for herself( thank god, those plot lines get too cliched).
What I really liked about these two was that there were almost no misunderstandings between them, everything was resolved quite quickly. There was this plotline in which JZH leaves without telling Linxi for a few months in high school. After that, there were a few episodes in which she is unable to forgive him. That was really painful to watch. While her anger at him was justified, I just wished it would get resolved asap.
The secondary leads had a much rocky story, they got together much later. Initially Chen Yi Chuan, Lin Xi's cousin is quite annoying but he matures and becomes nicer in the end. There are number of side characters which keep the story interesting. Some of them are annoying like Lin Xi's mom, but I didn't really mind, because I was so invested in the main leads story.
Overall, this is a a really wholesome love story. I loved the snippets from their wedding in the starting of the 1st couple of episodes, they were really cute.
I would totally recommend this drama to anyone who wants to watch a feel-good romance. It is cute and heart-warming and a must watch for romance fans. I really loved it and would be watching its clips on Youtube to fill the void left by it lol.

This is simply an excellent school drama , very well executed , with realistic characters going through the trials and tribulations of high school life.
What I liked about the drama was the acting by all the actors , it was really good and added a lot of depth to the story. I really loved the chemistry between our main leads , they were so endearing and cute together. It's a heart warming portrayal of first love,and it shows how being with the one you love/like is enough for you to be happy and how you don't even need to says much to them but they'll still understand if something is wrong with you. I loved the small moments between Yu Huai and Geng Geng,and I loved the fact that they were such good friends first who always stood up for each other and always had each others back.
The other characters were also very well developed, which is another thing I like. There was no character which felt like filler or which had no purpose.
The story portrays the high school years and all the things related to it like exam stress , extracurriculars, choosing between science and humanities in a very relatable way. I being a high school student myself could easily connect with the story and it's characters.
The only thing which I didn't like was the ending. It could have been done better in my opinion, but anyways it was still a very enjoyable, touching and binge worthy drama , which made me cry as well as laugh a lot.
