A Good Introduction to a Main CDrama Genre
This is one of those shows that everyone tells you to watch if you're new to CDramas, and I totally agree. It's not the best storyline, it's not the best acting, it's not even the best chemistry (though I would watch Shen Yue and Hu Yitian in a show together again). Everything about this is extremely predictable and generic, but I'm not saying that in a bad way. I think it is a show that does justice to tropes like unrequited love, friends to lovers, college romance, childhood friends to lovers, and so on. Every trope, idea, and character trait you can imagine is in this, and you could probably tell the whole story by watching the trailer. However, Shen Yue is a queen who always does her best with roles like this. The height difference is adorable and serves to help the chemistry. Hu Yitian does a good job of playing a character that has ZERO EMOTIONS. I mean, you'd think it would have developed over the episodes, but even in the final few episodes, I felt like I was trying to squeeze any emotion out of him. The story is exactly what you want from this kind of show, which is a good thing. It provides you with all that you need for a classic C-drama, which is why everyone should watch it at least once.
