Pleasant, light romance

I just finished watching all the episodes and I'm glad I reached for this drama. First of all, because of this pair of actors that I recently watched in a drama in which both actors Zeng Shun Xi and Liang Jie played. I've been watching especially for Joseph Zeng, whose acting I really like, I've really enjoyed most of his dramas so far. There's something inherent in him, a magnetic charisma that attracts viewers, and his gaze with those warm, beautiful eyes.
It's a light drama with a simple, romantic plot without any tragic events that did me good after all the previous dramatic plots in other dramas.
I enjoyed watching the romance develop between the two main leads as well as the supporting characters. Healthy relations between these two and between the parents of these two leads, where finally there was no sick ambition to marry a rich heir to a rich girl. ZXQ's main lead's parents were normal, his mother is his son's confidante and talked to him normally and accepted his choice of girlfriend without any problems. Which was a big change in this drama compared to the plots of other dramas. There are also no annoying ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends, no toxic relationships. There is, however, a pair of very engaging best friends who later become our beloved side couple. The best friends here, Yao Jiajia (Li Linfei) and Lin Kaiwen (Zhou Zihan), are intelligent and give our couple tips and sound advice, helping them see and find themselves. Which is a rare occurrence in drama plots.

It's a story with a very simple plot and no twists and turns. The dialogues are subtly funny, humorous. Drama is soothing and lighthearted, perfect for erasing stress and anxiety.
However, I blame the author of the script for treating the last scenes so lightly... they were not as engaging as the earlier ones and I had the impression that they were written hastily "on the knee". Especially the scene where the main leads have a conclusion in the scene of consummating their relationship and it was horribly shown! This scene should be especially well prepared. I don't know if the script was written by a young man who treats the first intercourse between two people in love as something ordinary, as if it was of little importance in their lives, and on top of that there is this stupid discussion about securing a condom (by the way, the placement of this product was in an earlier episode of shopping scene for LZX going on a business trip, which surprised me that the censors let it pass). It was not knowing why the most important thing for these two at that moment, not their beautiful relationship, tenderness, closeness. It could have been done so romantic and it begged that the next scene the next day also retained the emotion of waking up together and looking at each other with tenderness. And here they show Ye Shi Lan, who wakes up alone and Lu Zhao Xi is not by her side, because he ran to get some stupid thermos box that he brought to the room in the morning .... and he did not greet her with a kiss or a word after spending the night together... IT WAS LEG! Apparently, also the Chinese youth is currently treating this important event as the youth in the world, i.e. thoughtlessly and without emotions ... they just slept with each other ... I prefer this couple in a similar scene in the drama Time Flies and You are Here, where both understand the importance of this their "first time". So much for my disappointment with the last scene. That's why I didn't give a full 10 for the plot.
Despite this unfortunate written last scene, I highly recommend this drama, especially to lovers of romance and all viewers with tender hearts.
