Countryside Vibes, Formula 1 Finale.
I loved this show. It had everything I usually enjoy in a Chinese drama, every character got their moment to shine, the countryside visuals were absolutely gorgeous, and the leads delivered some really solid performances. At its heart, it's a simple coming-of-age story about kids growing up, stepping into adulthood, and chasing their dreams, and it does that beautifully.
Now, my only issue the last five episodes looked like they suddenly remembered they had a deadline. The pacing went from a peaceful countryside stroll to a Formula 1.
The reunion was a bit underwhelming too the expressions were so flat that I wasn't sure if they were reuniting after years apart or just bumping into each other at a grocery store.
Would that have bothered me normally? Probably not. But then they proceeded to speedrun the entire ending in the last three episodes, and unfortunately, I took that personally.
Still, it's a genuinely great show and absolutely worth watching. I'm just forever mourning the pacing.
