Let me start off by saying I loved this drama , it's nothing you haven't seen before your typical school to life drama but what makes this so interesting is that its the authors real life story. I loved this drama so much , that even though I have just watched I want to watch it again. None of the characters had a bad point and there wasn't your typical love triangle ( There might be for a little time but its not the main focus point of the story) Each character had redeemed himself or herself and none of the characters were frustrating at period of times( Except the actual father that guy is shit). I was more focused on the secondary couple, Qiaoyi's brother and her friend, Guanchao and Wuyi. They were so cute and they focused on all of the couples a lot not just the main and as a second lead or second couple enthusiast I really loved their story. The acting was very good and none of the character's were stiff in their acting, except maybe the main lead but it's understandable because the main lead's character Yan mo started off very one dimensional I feel like he would not have changed if Qiao yi didn't make such a huge impact on his life. This story can be compared to A love so beautiful but the secondary couple is so different. The difference between aslb and Le Coup de Foudre is the female lead didn't really show off that she liked the main lead it was both like both of them were crushing on each other but were in a point where they didn't know it was true feelings and the female lead kind of tried to avoid male lead at start. I loved the secondary couple so much though , The secondary female lead Hao Wuyi I have to compliment her acting this was her first time as a main lead role ( though she was secondary female lead role) but her acting was really good and the secondary couple had more chemistry and romance than the main leads though the Main lead's had very good chemistry. I feel like the second leads stole the show . I loved their story and how they had developed. It's hard to believe that they aren't dating in real life ( Second leads, Eden Zhao and Ma li maybe you are? I hope so lol). Along with the romance this drama has great character development and meaning of family and youth. I really loved this drama I hope you watch this drama! Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this drama. (Btw, I don't really write reviews but this drama was that). The kiss scenes are also are one of the best kiss scenes in Chinese dramas. Even the surprise kisses are responded to well. The second leads kisses were amazing too. It's not the male lead kissing a stick it's male lead actually kissing female lead. So yes , This drama is amazing and makes you laugh out loud Watch it!!!( Btw , The main lead who are Zhao Zhiwei and Zhang Yujian are so hot I crush on them even now).

THE MUSIC: I still listen to the OST until now I watched this drama about 4 months ago. I was like almost done with dramas during this period and only cared about second leads and could not When I mean could not stand Love triangles during this time this drama ignited my passion again for dramas and second lead couples fully along with main this drama saved me, just like the music. From the song, Ma li sang Dearest friend (最相爱的朋友) which on YouTube includes a MV on Zhao Guanchao and Hao Wuyi! My favorite couple and song from dramaland OST'S Goblins Stay with me Beats it though, but its understandable. When I say there hasn't been a day without listening to the song, and even though I barely cry almost cry its not an understatement. Nevertheless, I loved all of the songs and they are always on my playlist the music definitely suits the drama, which is unique just as unique as the drama and relentlessly never fails to disappoint. When I say I got a MDL account just to write a review on Le Coup De Foudre It's not an understatement. Yes dearest friend is my favorite song, but you definitely have more the OST is that good.

I promise when I say that I would give up all the dramas in the world ( Which is amazingly hard You know dramalovers) Just to save the main couple and secondary couple if they couldn't be together. Which means what you should do now:
STOP READING THIS WHOLE LONG ESSAY ABOUT LE COUP DE FOUDRE AND GO WATCH IT1 WHAT YOU DOING? DEFINITELY OPENING UP VIKI OR WHERE EVER YOU FIND THIS DRAMA AND WATCHING WITH WHAT EVER SUBS YOU NEED! Heck if you can't find subs just watch it raw it's good for you to miss out on.

Also I am rewatching it now! After watching it two times in 4 months!! No matter how many times you watch this you would just wanna watch it again! The only downplus is the blurred lighting but sometimes it looked cool so don't drop this drama for silly reasons you will never find a drama where is there is basically no dislikeable character, no drag outs, not a lot of misunderstandings, and not a lot of cliches, with amazing elements of just life, not just romance but Family the dependence, the love, Friendship, never letting go, and Qiyi's and Guanchao's brother and sister Twin relationship!!!!

Also if you love happy and satisfying endings! Drama for you! This drama has a lot of elements, and they just pieced it so well together, it's an understatement! Even though, it might turn out to be slow paced every moment that leads up to the best part, are not to be missed since they are also the best parts of the drama. I usually find myself skipping main leads conflict after they get together but I loved the main couple and even though I loved the secondary couple more it just might be because I found Zhang Yujian's character just not really my type, though he had portrayed Yan mo in amazing sense and Yan mo isn't just another domineering CEO with PTSD with a poor female lead changing him, or just another cold male lead who treats the female lead unexplainably horrible. Yan mo I like him as much of Jiang Chen of ALSB or Sheng Huainan of Unrequited love though the latter might be my male lead type : ) But nevertheless you will also love the male lead even though Zhang Yujian was a bit not my type I still loved him which proves you will love this drama's characters and what it has to offer you.

If you read to the end, please just go watch two episodes this review took me a Good hour I promise you just watch two episodes and you won't stop! Also at the end of the drama or now just answer the question:

How is the one you admired during high school doing now?
