A Love So Beautiful, Put Your Head on My Shoulder and The Love Equations were all written by Zhao Qian Qian. But out of all these three spin-offs, The Love Equations is by far the best among these three. ALSB was almost the same as ISWAK but we saw growth and maturity for both leads which made it different from ISWAK. PYHOMS was cute, fluffy, no heavy scenes, just a real feel-good drama. However, Love Equations gave me a whirlwind of emotions. I really laughed, smiled, felt love, cried, and mad; it really captivated my heart and emotions.
ACTING: Female lead is obvious that she is new in acting. She is really cute. Although there were few dead emotions on the way she acted, they were all bearable. I love her smile though, she was really loveable. The male lead is different, the way he delivered his lines and his facial expressions, it was really impressive. All the supporting cast were good too. It was really fascinating to watch the parents and teachers in this drama cause I've seen them from the other dramas.
STORY: Let's say it is a typical story. But what I love here is that our FL is independent, strong, she doesn't let the other girl get her; a very headstrong character. ML here is very cute. He was the first one to fall in love and to confess, and he was the one who leads our FL into their relationship. It was really cute! Also, what I like about this drama is how they tackle mental health. Not elaboratively but at least they touched something about it. It showed how family support can help someone that has mental issues. I also like how each character showed growth as the episodes passed. There were some boring scenes, almost skipped it, but it's alright. I really didn't find each episode dragging or boring. I enjoyed all of it. My only complaint is that when Jia Yi Chun doctored the genetic results, isn't that a medical malpractice? Shouldn't she suppose to be sanctioned for that? It really bothers me a lot, and she didn't even say sorry for what she did, which makes me mad. That is my only complaint.
MUSIC/OST: They were all cute. I really like the intro OST of this drama. It's also a plus that both leads sang a duet in this drama. Also, the female lead sang most of the OST since I guess she came from Produced 101(?)
KISSIN SCENES: This is why I consider this one fo the best among all the spin-offs. It's a big plus for me if the kissing scenes were really good and this one did not disappoint. I heard Simon Gong is a really good kisser in dramas but when I found out that Liu Ren Yu is just 18 years old, I already had a gut feeling there will be no kissing scenes. But, boy oh boy, I AM WRONG. They were really good together. Two thumbs up.
REWATCH VALUE: 100%. YES. I WILL BINGE THIS AGAIN.
