Can't believe that my first review is about Chinese drama because basically I am a fan of Korean drama
I don't watch much Chinese dramas,but this drama got me hooked up from the very first episode.
I waited for days to watch episodes with English subtitles.
In all the drama was very refreshing,I loved all the scenes from the past. The transition from present to past was very nice.
I Liked all the characters. Especially the group of four girls who have different personalities and have very special bond even after college is over.
The love stories of other three girls were also very interesting and has same feel where we get to see each character in past and now in present how they have changed.
Fan Kris did a very good job of portraying the cute,handsome,popular,romantic,fun painter when he was a college student and also made an impact portraying the grown up version of the character which is exactly 180 degree shift from past himself.
The background music is amazing.I actually downloaded original song "unfortunately not you" by Fish Leong. But the duet version of this song in this drama is amazing. Cinematography was excellent. Each scene was amazing look wise.
Drama got draggy at the end. I did not understand the ending properly. For that matter the break up of the main couple was little bit disappointing compared to the build up drama made. After we get to know exactly what happened between main couple the drama becomes slower and has unnecessary plots. It would have been better if drama would have focused more on the main couple's grown up relationship as it did with the young relationship.
The acting of heroine and the second male lead was not very impressive as compared to others. If you are one of them who gets second male lead syndrome like me then don't worry it will not happen for this drama. Heroine did better job portraying young college student than grown up version.
In all I would recommend this drama for those who love a nice romantic story and have very much open mind about how it ends

It turned out that l would have been satisfied with either of the hero getting the girl. Trust me this is a big achievement for such type of storyline because most of the time you have huge second male lead syndrome but still want male lead to get the girl and other times you end up frustrated with the end because that lead does not deserved the girl.
Well enough with the male lead talk which l can go on and on about because Yamazaki Kento is my all time favourite Japanese actor and Sakaguchi Kentaro became my favourite after watching this movie. But the movie is more about our heroine who is funny,joyful and believes that she will have an wonderful love story with the her long time friend. I liked her character where she assumed no one would be perfect for hero than her and he chose someone who does not seem that great at start but someone who heroine found difficult to compete with even with heroine's 10 years of friendship.
So l totally got the failure as heroine concept because the character which heroine is playing is most of the time shown as wicked second female lead who does not like her long time friend and potential boyfriend being stolen by the female lead. And that is why it was very refreshing to see the story from heroine's point of view
In all the story has many known scenarios but it is the execution which catches our heart. Speaking of execution, l found it very similar to the Japanese anime and all funny scenes silmilar to anime were entertaining.
If you are a fan of shoujo movies then l would definitely recommend this movie
Even if you are not a fan of such jounour it is worth one time watch.
