Misleading reviews...

I just don't understand the whole hype over this drama or the very high ratings.

It took 10ish episodes to start getting interesting. It started because Jiang Chen started to show he liked Xiaoxi and would do little things to show that he was interested. I also liked the second lead Bu Wongsu and how he tried his best, but I especially loved how Jiang Chen would feel jealous and threatened by him.

But Xiaoxi is such a nothing, whiny, submissive, pathetic character!

A lot of the series is spent on school life, but because it was hard to connect to anyone, it wasn't particularly moving or interesting, so I began fastforwarding. Only the bits with Jiang Chen showing how he liked Xiaoxi got me squealing and excited.

Then it moved to being in university and they did a LOT of time jumps. There was a lot of in the sky, of the sun or of leaves montages which was just unnecessary.

Very strange writing, odd beats and pacing. It didn't really seem to have much left to go with.

When it came to the last episode, I barely noticed because it was so anti climatic and seemed to not really give any real message at the end. It was nice to see the monologue of Jiang Chen and why he liked Xiaoxi.

Weird writing and almost mediocre in some parts. It could have been done a whole lot better. Very fluffy, and I would rewatch for those cute moments, but the rest is a bit of rubbish to be honest...
