Life-Changing, Life-Learning

Dear viewer, I've never seen anything like this show. I'd particularly not even like to describe it as simply a "show" or "drama". To me, It is much more personal, like a documentary of these people and how they've lived their lives. There is nothing unrealistic about it, everything is intentional and has a purpose for these people. I don't even know where to begin in talking about it, but I did make an account simply to discuss my absolute desire for this show to be known as what it is: a pure work of art about real life people. Usually, when I'm watching something there's always a fence of good or bad, and choosing sides but in this documentary there's none of that. It's just telling you a story of how things happen because people grow. People grow from hurt, from pain, from everything. It hurts me because I relate to this show a little too much but that's because I'm human. I went into this a bit discouraged from romance, and life in general but it has brought more life into me. It's made me realize, life is deep and serious but it's also very lighthearted at times and especially beautiful despite the pain it can give. It not only touches on dating but family, friends, death, work-life balance, personal aspirations, marriage, and simple human behavior regarding relationships. We know we've not perfect as people, yet we expect others to be for us. It's taught me a lot, and I've never dated anyone before. But it's taught me so much about the expectations of a relationship, how to balance, communication, and the costs of it. Life isn't perfect on this current earth but we, as humans, can learn to live it together. Everything about this show is beautiful, from the characters you can't help but be frustrated at at times, to the dialogue, scenery, and simply real raw emotions. I don't know what the directors or actors were thinking when they created this absolute masterpiece of a show but it's caused wonder in my life. I would like to thank them for that. At first, I wasn't so sure about the couple but it made me think, who am I to approve or disapprove when it's not my relationship? If they're good together and if it's what God wants then what am I to say anything? I realized as a viewer I shouldn't have these opinions about these such things when I don't know these peoples' feelings or what they're going through. Each character has they're own sins, problems, but also love they harbor for one another. I loved everything about this show, even as I wanted to critique it, I couldn't because this was their life and as a person watching, I shouldn't meddle. I'd like to say thank-you for creating and making this show. It was absolutely a star, and I cherish it. I pray and hope their lives will continue on despite the harships, and so will mine. Thank you. Don't forget to watch the 3 specials. I really disliked how I saw the ending in the TV show without watching the 3 specials first and got really really frustrated & sad, so make sure to do that, that's honestly why I didn't vote it 10 stars because it needed that to be know first. But, seriously, watch this. Xue Tong, Bailin, QiQi, Xiaotang, I grew alongside with them and can only wish them the best. They were people to me and not everyone has this so called "happy ending" with feelings, but it's not even about that, it's about pursuing what's right and meant for you. I learned about love through this show. I'll miss how kind MuChenghe was to Xue Tong despite their internal turmoils, I'll miss Bailin and QiQi's friendship, and Xiaotang's guarded personality. Please give this a watch + the three specials if you believe in what I say. Every single person in this made it worth watching. It was a journey and I ended up in the right place. The star went back home after all, voyager 1 has finally left, and we've all matured! <3
