I want to start off by complimenting the editing/directing style of this show in general. It stands out from all the other chinese dramas I’ve seen in a creative and stylish way (visually).

Now. So sorry to Ling Chao but he is my biggest negative to speak about here. He was dreadfully boring. Anytime we were focused on him I lost complete interest in what was going on.
The other characters however were wonderfully interesting. Xiao Tu(FL), Yin Zi Han(SML), Jiang Juan Juan, and Jia Si Wen all had such unique (and differing from one another’s) characteristics and personalities. They certainly carry the story as it’s pretty drawn out and flat (to be honest). The four of them make it enjoyable- to a point.

I definitely don’t think it should have been 24 episodes. Not enough happens to warrant that much time to tell the story they have laid out. Makes it a mostly boring watch. I rarely drop dramas, but by episode 18 I decided I had had enough.

And I can’t not say it: once the leads start dating (episodes 16&17) they are soooooo awkward- but rightfully so! They’ve viewed eachother as siblings for 20 years!

Overall it was decent enough but I wouldn’t recommend. There’s far better youth-romance cdramas out there [ watch Wait My Youth(2019) or A River Runs Through It(2021) instead of this please ].
