Sweet and fun romance I've been waiting for
This show is just wonderful, it made me smile so much. It's perfect if you're looking for fluff romance and friendship. There's little to no conflict in the story which is what I crave sometimes, but other dramas that attempt this style have bored me. Not this one.
Characters- I found everyone to be very likable. The FL was a little obsessed with ML and fell in love at first sight which usually bugs me a bit, but you could tell Su Zai Zai just knew what she wanted and went after it confidently. ML is the quiet, no smiling type but he didn't push her away and was never mean. The second couple is also very lovable and fun to watch. It made me smile to watch all the moments these friends shared together. Each character has their strengths and weaknesses and are never tied down to a two dimensional trope.
Story- I'm pretty picky about the length and speed of dramas. I've found especially with C-dramas they tend to drag on too much and I end up dropping them. But I very much enjoyed how this one was paced and didn't fast forward once! It was beautiful to watch these characters grow from adolescence to adulthood. Sometimes dramas skip ahead too much in later episodes so you can see how they ended up and it feels rushed and not genuine. They did skip ahead quite a bit but i didn't have the same feeling, I was just happy to see their happily ever after. Also I LOVED the aspect of the camcorder, it kept things interesting and gave things a nostalgic and personal feel. Oh also have to shout out any drama that has basically 0 miscommunication/misunderstanding trope, thank the lord.
TLDR- beautiful fluff romance, great to escape to a happy world.
