In my honest opinion, I think I'm definitely going to have to say I think this show is a 10/10. It's not PERFECT but like it is in a way of fueling you with pure nostalgia. I read a ton of reviews on the show and I was really going back and fourth with if I should watch it because I hate misunderstandings, I hate slow romance, I hate just anything that causes misunderstanding for no reason tbh. Lol. So you would think I don't watch a ton of shows but I've watched 100's of shows and I still come back to this kind of youth/coming of age type of drama. Though this one was different than others in my opinion. I honestly just could not stop watching it. So good. Sooo good. Youth dramas and just Chinese dramas in general just do a great job of taking this nostalgic story buried deep in your memories and bringing it to life but putting a twist on it because you're watching your "what if" but I don't know, maybe that's just me. Lol. That's how I feel. So even though it feel short in some parts, like the end and it kind of dragged, I just liked the experience tbh. Lol. That's what I REALLY was in it for.
The story was about a girl that has been secretly in love with a boy that's like boy wonder to her. He's smart, handsome, the whole package and she's smart, quiet and pretty and they are just a good combo. She's really strong, not ditzy in anyway, she holds her own and I love that about her, WE LOVE A STRONG FEMALE LEAD. Lol. But this is the nostalgic part for me that I can relate to so much that I instantly could not help myself from tearing up a little bit is that feeling of having your first crush/first love that has no idea who you are. Like I think everyone has had that ONCE in their life where this person has no idea you even exist but you admire them from so far because they're the next best thing to sliced bread, I kid you not dudeee. That feeling just hit me, made me laugh, cry and reminiscence on that time where I was just young, dumb and carefree. Like "what is love?" ya know what I mean, but that's what I love about this show because it takes the chances of being a nobody, to a somebody, going through ups and downs like your average relationship and just...living. Man, what a feeling. Lol.
I loved the acting. I definitely get what everyone is saying though because the ML played, I wouldn't say a jerk but he was naive and young. Lol. He was a clueless boy that really was just a boy in my opinion and what I mean from that is he doesn't think of this love and just doesn't think too deep. He's smart and living his life and just living brightly. I LOVE THE FEMALE LEAD. SHE PLAYED SO WELL AT THIS CHARACTER. NOT A PANSY BUT NOT TOO BAD, SHE WAS SO FITTINGGGGG. I also liked the friends, I hated the secondary characters, the acting was just fitting for this kind of storyline.
The music is cool, I didn't mind it.
When I'm feeling blue and down or I just need a stretch, I think this is definitely a rewatch. I think this is honestly just an extremely good show. I dig it. 10/10. For sure.
