An Underrated Gem

this drama has been flying under the radar, with little to no buzz surrounding it. The one reminded me of the well-known "Reply 1988," although there were some differences between the two. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have always been drawn to stories set in universities, especially those that delve into the lives of young individuals. This drama provided a glimpse into the Chinese university culture and the nature of relationships and interactions among students.

One aspect that stood out to me was the portrayal of the characters. They were vibrant, diverse, and well-acted, which was a pleasant surprise. Unlike many other dramas, this one didn't solely focus on clichéd romance plots. Instead, it explored the complexities of the characters' hearts, showcasing their experiences with heartbreak, falling in love, and the challenges they faced. It reminded me of my own time in college, from rushing into lectures when running late to interacting with professors.

Another element that caught my attention was the age gap romance, which happens to be my cup of tea. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the chemistry between an older man and a younger woman in this drama. It added an extra layer of depth to the story and kept me engaged throughout.

One thing that stood out to me, and I'm surprised it hasn't been widely noted, is the natural beauty of the actors and actresses. In many current Chinese dramas, there seems to be a trend of excessively lightening the actors' skin, creating an unnatural look. However, in this drama, the actors' natural beauty was showcased, which was a breath of fresh air.
