This drama is so cliche, a "ugly" girl falls in love with a handsome boy. However, what captivated me was the process in which they fall in love. The drama is relatable because people do crush on others and some people just have a crush on others for longer. Li Li's companion due to their friendship and her feelings for her really captivated me. Next to Shang Xuan is always Li Li, accompanying him through all of his ups and downs. Li Li doesn't ask for anything in return, but just being around him, she is happy. These are all things we can relate to, unlike being liked by multiple guys and then end up marrying a rich dude. I love that it spans from high school to them working. There is a sense of reality. You can also see the characters maturing. All of these character grow on me because I get to see them grow. The actors and actresses aren't famous and are fairly new, but I think that their acting is actually fairly good. I like how they are able to tie the birds into the plot but some of the lines said by Shang Xuan about the migratory birds is too cheesy.
I like the music very much. One of the actors, Zhu Yuan Bing, who plays Sun Yu, sings the theme song, which I love so much. His voice sounds so good and I like the lyrics, so perfect for this drama. I also like ????? by Qui Zi An. Her voice sounds so good and I think it is also perfect for the drama.
As for rewatch value, I rewatched it like 2 or 3 times already. This drama isn't the best drama, it's really about what you think about the characters. It really makes you think about your crush right now or change how you think about relationships and crushes. I think the rewatch value is high because it makes you think and relate.
