Well written friendships and realistic portrayals, worth a watch!!

This was a pretty good youth drama to watch. the actors are relatively young but overall the acting was acceptable and I guess it added to realness of the youth drama.

The part that I loved most about this drama was how the friendships portrayed exceeded my expectations. When Miao Miao's two friends first met I immediately thought to myself that they would both be jealous of each other but I was pleasantly surprised. also when He Xin was able to look past Kai Tuo liking MM and remain friends with her, I was really surprised by how mature the characters were. I really appreciated how the different friend groups would stand up for each other and had each other's backs.

Something else that I really liked was the slow makeover, there was no makeover scene when she immediately became pretty, but a more realistic long term change. This is something quite rare (imo) in cdramas, and her changes also went beyond physical ones to also how MM became more courageous and sure of herself.

I wasn't entirely a fan of the slow burn and how You Nian did so much for MM but didn't even know that he liked her. also I thought the part about him not telling her about not going overseas was so out of character and unnecessarily complicated things.

there are also a lot of slow motion, staring into each other's eyes moments which I skipped but other than that if you're looking for a funny, lighthearted youth drama I would recommend this!
