An overrated drama
Till 19-20 episodes it was okay but after that I felt like the director is forcing me to feel something, and I felt like he has amnesia because I think in last episode the FL says to her friends that she still has feelings for her ex-boyfriend but she is confused whom to accept when her old crush proposed her. Unnecessary random and reckless break ups and again reconciling each other felt so immature or poor execution, this made this drama weaker in the end episodes. From starting to end the director failed to portray the love triangle effectively, he tried to confuse us about the love triangle but in the end he only got confused how to execute it.After watching so many Chinese dramas I really couldn’t understand one thing that, after break up the FL leads her life in a normal way like nothing has happened and she can accept another person in her life but why the ML couldn’t do the same, he keeps on thinking about her and he couldn’t accept anyone else and becomes totally mental patient.

Another great Chinese drama
I really liked the story, Chinese dramas executes love story well and this is one of the examples of it. I watched it a long time ago that's why I can't remember some of the details but I really loved the show because I followed the artists after I completed the drama. Acting was so-so, but the story was great, but recently, I find the male lead always going outside the country in every Chinese drama but that's just a small nitpick. The story portrays relationship well and how can relationship last, some scenes were sad especially when the female lead lost the necklace that the male lead gave her.My highlight of the drama is that one song that really sticks out for me which is Find Your Way Home, it's a really great song, that's the most memorable thing in the drama for me.

This drama is a must watch if you like to watch light hearted drama
I hope you guys give this drama a try, you won't regrets.I've heard about this drama after watching my girl in 2020, but I didn't give it a try at that time because I'm not into youth / school drama. 2 years later, I saw it on Netflix and give it a try. Damn, I nearly missed a gem. This drama is worth watching. The actor and actress are all handsome and pretty. I like every role in this series and I love how their friendship is not toxic. They showed how each one of them pursued their own dream and hold on to their friendship even after finishing highschool and moving to another city. And importantly the love story of every couple ❤️❤️❤️
It's fun to watch such a great storyline and amazing skilled actor.
Sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language.

Beautiful well written Coming Age Drama
I watched this long back ago, Thought of giving review now
This is a good, beautiful coming age drama. Story of group of teenagers from high school to their work life. I felt like I was growing with them while watching this. Loved the equations between them. Then chemistry between the main leads was awesome. I still remember their names and how they call each other even though its been a howl since I watched this. Lin tian ye and su can can <3 . This drama is so touching , funny , cute and romantic. For someone who is currently working in a cooperate field , when I watched this I felt so nostalgic , I could feel their tensions, chasing dreams , the friendship, the worries . This drama made me feel so nostalgic.
China has been always good with such dramas, they have the best school dramas which we can relate and feel their innocence
- Awesome chemistry
- Good story
- Good Music
This is a must watch !

It was a slow start in the first episode and I was hesitant because I wasn't too much of a fan of Li Jiaqi in Meteor Garden, but she definitely delivered as Su CanCan in Wait My Youth. I loved Zhao Yiqin in Accidentally in Love even though I didn't like the show as a whole, but this solidifies it and it was great to see him as a main lead playing a character similar to YiYang. I didn't like that they had TYT and LGZ together at the end. It would have made sense for them to end up together earlier on since they had so much in common.
In school dramas, I have yet to see much passion put into the kisses but the chemistry between Yiqin and Jiaqi is just so sweet and real. It really made me squirm and squeal to see their interactions. It was also a sweet love story to see their progression into a friendship and into a romance, especially seeing Tianye's love and care grow and CanCan letting go of her crush of seven years for something more.
This show does a great job at doing a throwback with the music that was up and coming at the time, and then moving onto the popular phones at the time. It was very nostalgic to see the stereos and audio cassette players/Walkmans that they used. It was especially heartbreaking to see that Su CanCan's dad who runs an audio cassette shop go out of business because he couldn't compete with how music was becoming more accessible, but it also warmed my heart to see that Tianye and CanCan both pursued their love for music in the industry itself.
I highly recommend it and will be doing a rewatch of this, because I cannot seem to let the main leads go.

Cute Highschool/College drama
At first I was put off by FL because I didn’t like her hairstyle and I was unsure of her being a lead because my impression of her was from Metero garden 2018. But she did prove me wrong with her acting skills!I remembered ML from Accidentally in Love and I remembered him because he was even more handsome than the ML in that.
ML’s bestfriend I remember from The love equation. He is definitely more attractive here.
The story overall is pretty good. I must say that the first half is pretty slow (like literally barely any progression in terms of romance). But things progress at a better phase in the 2nd 1/2.
ML and FL ‘s chemistry is really good especially during their high school scenes! They were really funny!
A light hearted drama to watch!

Brilliant
This drama literally made me cry. I cried so much watching this drama that my eyes were literally swollen. Anybody who likes high school/college drama or cute love story, I would definitely recommend watching it. If anybody had watched “Just an encore”. This drama is a little similar to that. But I prefer this over Just an Encore. Looking at the main lead of “my girl” again pairing up in this drama makes it even better. Though I feel a little bad for Li Geyang who was the second lead. He was the second lead in “The Love Equation” as well. That fact pained even more. The poor guy is getting hurt in both the dramasWas this review helpful to you?
Drama
Oh my gosh this drama is amazing. At first I didn’t want to watch it but my friend forced me and I’m so glad she did. It’s a love triangle basically and an awesome one at that. It has you on the edge of your seat and you can’t stop watching it. It’s romantic and easy going at the same times. I thought I wouldn’t find such a good drama after Meteor Garden but I did. I couldn’t stop watching it because it was too intriguing. I have watched tones of youth dramas and all of them have basically the same plot but this one had a little twist to it. The acting was really good and the music as well.Was this review helpful to you?

I'm so glad I was able to stumble on one of the best written youth drama. I must say, this is one of the best chinese drama I watched. It's about the youth, innocence, dreams, aspirations happiness, struggles and a matter of love. It's not the same cliche dramas I watched before. It was different in my opinion. The acting is so good. the chemistry between the actors and actress are so good, The plot story is superb. I so love the heart warming plot of this drama.. it was so heart warming that it makes me miss my childhood life, my school life and all the struggles, friendship and happiness I've been through. It's been 10 years since I graduated from school and been with the real battle of life and love that it makes me reminisce everything after watching this.. This drama is very light and well written. No too much drama, no annoying antagonist, no frustrating protagonist, no dreadful twist, no draggy and boring episodes, no episode that you could say has a fillers, so very romantic sweet scenes that makes me go gaga and squeal silently like crazy and crazily stomping my foot on the bed, scenes that makes me rewind it for a countless times I couldn't even count. I didn't even fast forward any episode unlike those other dramas I watched that I honestly skipped some scenes. But with this one, I didn't even skip anything. I so love the actors and actresses that portrayed the characters. Their chemistry is so awesome. Can can is so cute like an innocent child, Tian Ye is so hot and handsome and so sweet, Jia Ze is so cute and adorable, Mei Li is very bubbly, Ya Ting is beautiful and soft. it has a happy ending for everyone (though I'm a bit not contented with the ending coz I wasn't able to see Tian Ye and Can can got married, though they were nengaged, and not so much happy ending for Yating and Jia Ze because they're not able to find their love yet. I hoped it was shown in the ending so that everybody happy), it was so light and good I couldn't even stop watching this. I binged watched this honestly. the songs though I couldn't understand but I like it so much that sometimes it makes me have LSS. I totally recommend this drama to be watched. one of the best coming of age drama. I will never forget this awesome drama ever. I probably will re-watch this in the future. Kudos to the actors and actress, kudos to the writer who made this well written drama that it makes it one of the best. Was this review helpful to you?

Cute School Drama
So I love a good school drama, I just recently started a binge of Chinese school dramas and this was the 2nd one I watched. I really liked the progress of the storyline until the end of their college years and then there were a lot of time jumps that were hard to understand. Some parts seem like they were mentioned possibly once or else the viewer thinks it was mentioned and they missed it. The last 3 episodes were a little bit everywhere, but I really like the drama.Another note, if you liked “A Love So Beautiful” then this drama might be something to look into. Similar school themes and FL crushes on ML(?) with a different ending.
