Cute Yet Meaningful

The drama hit home for me all the way until the end, in a way where I was super hooked.

First off, I definitely thought Yoo Seung Ho and Jo Bo Ah had really good chemistry, like no joke. I felt like having really good chemistry for the main leads is sort of rare to me. They were super cute together :') They were one of those on-screen couples where I wished that they had actually dated. I wished I had a relationship like theirs.

I learned that a big misunderstanding could lead to a missed chance.

I liked the morals as well, especially Kang Bok Soo's own good morals. He stuck by his morals and that created in him a really good, heroic character after he came back to the high school. He's willing to help out no matter what and is not afraid to stand up for others. Him breaking the standards really changed my perspective in life. Being stagnant and silent could harm others. He was able to change the situation around because he stood up for others.

The story gets really interesting throughout and this drama definitely left me satisfied! Wished that the main leads had a wedding and everyone, including Se Ho, would attend the wedding. That would be a great wedding :)

This drama will lead you to root for the second guy lead and the main girl (TRUST). I personally like Lin Xing Chen and Zhang Hao Tian together rather than with Lu Yi Bai. I think Hao Tian is cuter (ahahah).

However, I rarely skipped the episodes. Even though the storyline is slow, I was able to watch the whole drama because Lin Xing Chen personally gave me cute vibes; I really like her personality a lot, as she is bubbly and optimistic, but a little bit foolish.

The storyline doesn't really develop that much until the very end, which I wished the relationships developed more to be honest. I like the music :')

WOW.

First off, the plot is good. To me, it is a similar story line like "All About My Mom" (Korean Drama). Throughout the storyline, you'll experience feelings of betrayal, annoyance, love, forgiveness, anger, and many more.

The actors and actresses did an amazing job with how they show their emotions, such as anger, fear, annoyance, sadness, compassion, and many more. One feeling that stuck out to me the most was forgiveness. Throughout the storyline, Kim Do Ran and Kang Soo Il always forgive people no matter how badly people treated them.

The reason why I rated the music a 7/10 was because I only liked one song, "No One Else", that the drama plays to be honest; if you watch the 2018 KBS Drama Awards, one of the songs from this drama is used in the Drama Awards. The song is filled with sadness, in a way.

You will fall in love with one of the couples in this drama. Even though they played a major part in the drama, I wished the drama showed a little bit more. I was more interested in this couple than the main couple to be honest.

There's so many life lessons in this drama that you can learn. Highly recommend watching it!

This is one of the cutest dramas that I have watched. I seldom write reviews; I will most likely write reviews where I believe that it would be WORTH watching.

Throughout the drama, you'll experience different emotions: happiness, heart skipped a beat, butterflies, sadness. It is definitely worthed watching and I managed to finish this drama in a short amount of time. I managed to watch 20 episodes straight without stopping, which showed that this drama was just CRAZY good.

The leads are SO CUTE together and I wished that they are together in real life. I highly recommend this drama!

I love this drama. Even though there are only 12 episodes, a lot does happen throughout the whole drama. In the beginning, it becomes a shocker from one of the characters for those who are watching this drama. As time develops, love, betrayal, forgiveness, and true friendships do happen. One of the main actresses, Jung Eun Ji, takes action whenever something is wrong and unfair. She becomes an example to other students surrounding her; many start to want to take action instead of keeping quiet. Many start to think grades and ranking are no longer the most important anymore. This drama really depicts the hardships that the main characters are going through, whether it's the pressure from parents, friends, expectations, or society.

Overall, this drama led me with different emotions, such as happiness, sadness, anger, and so much more. I am touched by some of the scenes in the drama as well. Either way, this drama really helps me with forgiveness,. No matter what one person does to someone else, revenge is not always the best solution (I am not saying that I take revenge every time somebody else does something bad to me). Being able to forgive someone who has done so much wrong to others is a huge act.

Kudos to the writer who wrote this drama. :)

So Relatable When It Comes to Having Immigrant Parents

I CRIED...just because this entire drama was so real, raw, and relatable.

I have never watched a drama that hits home and touched the soul. Themes included family, struggles of being the oldest child, expectations, the work environment, regrets, forgiveness, and much more. Just everything about this drama definitely touched the heart strings, as there were many scenes that made me cry.

I definitely learned a lot through this drama - the realization of my parents' expectations vs reality for me, what they believe is the best for me, etc. There was a scene where I felt not a lot of dramas have: a conversation between the lead daughter and mother where they became vulnerable towards each other and decided to listen and understand each other.

With different generations, it's always difficult to understand where people come from and why our parents act the way they act. This drama provides a reminder to spend time with your family as much as you can before it's too late, to forgive, and to listen to each other.

Overall, the entire drama was amazing and definitely something I feel has hit home so much!

Frustrating Yet Excitement

The characters' acting were pretty good, in terms of how they portray the martial arts and the moves. I felt so many different emotions, crying at a lot of the scenes.

First off, I ship more Qi Bai Cao with Ruo Bai (Yang Yang) than Chang An (Ji Chang Wook). However, it's a good thing that the actors and actresses are different, making the shipping bearable than if the actors and actresses were the same. The action is SO GOOD, especially when Qi Bai Cao is the one fighting during the tournament.

Towards the last two episodes, I felt the continuous flashbacks was really unnecessary; basically, it's like a summary between Qi Bai Cao and Chang An. I wished there was a real ending; there were some parts where I felt should have had an ending.

I wished there was more relationship development between Hu Yi Feng (Leo Wu) and Fan Xiao Ying (Seven Tan). Throughout the drama, I was super excited about these two developing their relationship in the second season, as the first one showed a little bit. Wished they would be the leading characters again in a drama sometime in the future.

I really like Qi Bai Cao's character, as throughout the whole 2 seasons, she has her own morals and her forgiving personality really touched me.

Overall, this drama was still worth watching because of the action but not really for the romance.

I say an AMAZING drama!

The cast is GOOD, especially with Wang Yi Bo! After this drama, he became one of my favorite actors! I love his character, how he never gives up even if hardships come his way. Lowkey makes me want to find a boyfriend like him hehe. Even though I am not a fan of e-sports, there is good Chinese representation! There are so many cute scenes as well, as it gives off romantic vibes, bits of betrayal, sadness, and much more!

Highly recommend watching it, as it has so many different emotions you'll experience! A plus if you play e-sports!

Overall, this drama is adorable and can be cringy at times. However, I sort of wished that I had a relationship like theirs as well.

The relationship does get a little bit slow and progresses at a slower rate, too. For me, I liked how the main lead guy, Liang You Nian, takes the relationship slow and really respects his girlfriend, Xia Miao Miao.

You'll see a slow transition to how Xia Miao Miao changes her appearance and changes her habits as well.

I recommend watching this drama because it does give you the warm fuzzys.

This Chinese drama is one of the few dramas that I watched where I thought that it's a must watch. I thought that this was super motivational; every time people would accuse or didn't believe Tang Yi Bai, Yun Duo would be one of the only ones who believed him. I find this drama to be super cute; even though it was a long drama, each episode hooked me in due to its music, plot line, and romance.

Seven Tan, who plays the role of Yun Duo, displays really cute actions. The look in her eyes helped make the chemistry between Tang Yi Bai and her extremely well. Yun Duo is someone who follows her morals through no matter what the situation is and no matter who was against her. She never gives up!

Dylan Xiong, who plays the role of Tang Yi Bai, became my bias (next to Zhang Han) after watching this drama. I really wished that I would find a boyfriend similar to Tang Yi Bai. He has a forgiving heart and is super understanding. Also, I liked his interactions that he had with Yun Duo when they became a couple. Also, every time he would enter the competition and he was slowly losing, the song and his never giving up spirit really moved me.

This drama taught me so many things. Always never to give up!

I wished that they would have a season 2!

Overall, this drama is similar to “Put Your Head On My Shoulder.” I definitely recommend watching this drama because of its cuteness. Also, at the end of most episodes for this drama, there’s a little scene that the each episode mentions that doesn’t show in the whole drama.

I loved the persistence that the main girl lead has when it comes to chasing the main guy lead. I really like the soundtrack as well, especially the song "Small Precious" by Feng Jia Qi. This drama made me sad when it ended :(
After watching this drama, I also want to find a boyfriends like Hu Yi Tian as he is one of my favorite actors! I rewatched this so many times...UGH.

I recommend watching both dramas due to its cuteness and how the main guy lead seems to be protecting the main girl lead.

Super cute :)!

This is one of the few dramas that I suggest to watch. It is also worthed it to rewatch the drama. It depicts family life, romance, and a mother who really loves her three children. The mother is also already loved by the son and daughters-in-law. A side note: she can't express her emotions, especially her love for her children as much. The whole cast played their roles extremely well. This is the first review that I wrote for dramas, and I thought it was worth writing one. Hopefully you guys will enjoy as much as I do. PS: You will cry a lot because of the relationships and tears that they express.

This is one of the cutest dramas in my opinion, simply because of the actions between the two main leads. I really loved how Feng Teng (guy main lead) displays his emotions and how he helps Xue Shan Shan (girl main lead) behind the scenes. To me, Zhang Han is my bias and he has never let me down whenever he is doing a drama. His actions can make you swoon, and that is one factor that helps make the drama so successful.

Xue Shan Shan displays her actions fervently and openly. However, she tends to overthink about things, which can lead to complications. The ending is satisfying overall. I wished that there was a season 2 but either way, without another season, it should satisfy you. Overall, love the acting and the interactions between the main and second leads as well.

Definitely a rewatch in my opinion! :)

A GOOD ESPORTS DRAMA TO WATCH

This drama is so good to watch! The graphics and the acting made it so good. Throughout the drama, Ye Qiu recruits people to be part of his team. His character and the way he looks at things is very inspirational, as he always never gives up, despite the circumstances looking bleak. It is super motivational to watch.

There isn't a lot of romance but the whole drama does keep me hooked, even without the romance side of things. I really love to watch romance dramas; even though this doesn't have much romance, hopefully the second one does. This drama is something that I recommend people to watch. It goes back and forth in terms of the game and the real world. The characters' faces in the game really looks like the people.

Again, I don't write that many reviews unless it is worth to write. This is the second review that I have written since the drama that I had watched in the past, "All About My Mom."

To me, I would totally recommend watching this drama because of the cast and how cute the couple is. I especially like watching the romantic and cute scenes that they have throughout the drama. Usually for dramas, I would skip some parts of the drama due to not being interested in the drama. However, for this drama, I rarely skipped any parts and watched the whole drama.

There are sound effects, the cat and dog sounds, that made the drama more interesting to watch and the reactions were super cute. Overall, I am really satisfied with this drama, and I not only support the couple in the drama but I am fan girling and wishing I would have a boyfriend like Lin Yi. Ughhh, he's so cute :)!
