The use of Pikachu was really cute

I loved how this started it was funny and cute and definitely not a show to be taken seriously but the story really did start going down hill toward the ending of it. Started to be a little draggy but wanted to finish it. I wanted to start watching Zhang Ling He's earlier dramas and I really did like him in this.

This started out really good I got through the first few episodes easily and they went quick cause I liked the cute interactions between the two leads. I actually really loved that they had him calling her Pikachu I know not a big thing in the show I just really found it so cute. I also didn't mind the side stories of the friends cause a lot of them were really good. The girl that plays Mei Wei Wei I found so cute I just wish they wouldn't of styled her hair the way they did but even doing that you can still tell that girl is pretty. I didn't care for the way they had her character do Mai Si Chong in the last episode even if they wanted to cause some problems between them but it was the last episode it didn't last long and it was unnecessary. The Proposal at the very end was so cute and probably one of the best scenes in this.

The sml Peng Pai I really didn't like his character at all through this he just always seemed like he was up to no good. He didn't have chemistry with the fl and it seemed like he felt like he owned her. The way he came off was like he knew her first so he had every right to her and he was the only frustrating character. I really wanted to see more for Xia Rui and Jun Jun cause I really liked them together, but you don't get to see much of anything cause they decide to make Xia Rui stupid and jealous of his friend.

I have a hard time getting into modern dramas and don't really have to many top ones. This one isn't going to make it on my top modern dramas but it definitely isn't the worst type of modern drama. It has its cute and funny moments if you can hold on through the draggy moments toward the end.

enjoyable, but not for everyone

I hate to say this but it was borderline agonizing for me to finish this. I had a pretty positive expectation that I'd enjoy this after the first few episodes, but then on the latter part of the drama my attention went haywire like WeiWei's electricity lol. For some reason, the story and acting can't capture my full attention anymore. I was powering through it for the sake of finishing the drama.

Pros: It started off pretty light and not-so cliched. The side CPs are quite interesting, except for the class head/rich barista girl CP (their chemistry is pretty forced imo). The plot itself is illogical but everybody's actions/reactions are pretty logical and relatable in most scenes. ZLH's acting here is already pretty decent, just a few moments where he seemingly couldn't hold the emotions or the scene. LMS is also cute and very easy to the eyes. She's good at the emotional scenes but in others she looks reserved. The senior/ex crush of FL started off promising until he did /that/.

Cons: Where do I start? lol. As a medical professional myself I wish they didn't include the medical intervention for WeiWei's condition because this is no sci-fi and they did it sloppily anyway, plus the raincoat with exposed arms and feet... lol that part just felt too insulting to anyone who would dare think twice about the scenario ? I also felt sour that they made Xia Rui do that, but never apologized to WeiWei when she took most of the brunt for what he did. She should demand medical and psychological damages for that ahh but he only apologized to MSC wth?? I thought the romance would be the saving grace for this but unfortunately the friendship dynamics felt more real. I always felt like ZLH was one step ahead of LMS when it came to the romance scenes. That's where he excelled the most here, plus the comedic timing. Sometimes I felt like he was dating a high schooler especially when they dress her like one most of the time. Then for the crying scenes it's LMS who does it naturally. It seems there's always an imbalance that I can't get on board with their romance especially when they got together. In the last episode I just felt relieved that I reached the ending.

In any case, this is one of both leads' early works so it's already pretty decent performance from everyone. It didn't feel too draggy and the OSTs are nice. It's pretty enjoyable for people looking for something light and cutesy to watch.

It's a little meh

The premise of the story is based off the cliche saying "my heart only beats for you." It a really subpar story line since it's not much comedy nor much chemistry going on between the two lead characters. The problem isn't the acting, it's the script, it uses the most cliche cliche but it couldn't execute in the best possible way. I can see why it would be an interesting story but it's concerning on how it escalates very quickly then becomes slightly boring after that escalation.

The male lead plays a cool and handsome character in the first episode then an episode later he becomes the complete opposite fitting that little puppy stereotype in romance comedies. I hope to see a better character development and would prefer it if the comedic parts aren't so forced.

Fried my brain

This drama progresses at the speed of light, all the characters are portrayed very superficially. The way the story unfolds is almost an insult to whatever semblance of intelligence you may have, with completely illogical logic jumps that make zero sense. Understandably, this is meant to be a lighthearted, fluffy drama but personally, it came across as cringy to me.

Overall, although the plotline is based off an interesting concept, it could definitely have been executed better. There are many better fluff dramas out there that are more worthy of your time!

Youth-Romantic Drama

With FL ability no one will be single in this world. Interesting story plot. Seems like most of the cast still new & young. Hope acting improvement and high achievements in the future.

As for ML, I just finish watch him in Maiden Holmes. The character so different, still can not move on from his character in Maiden Holmes. Really nice ❤️❤️❤️ acting in many different character.

Love the ost, also the romantic scene between ML and FL. The chemistry really NICE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

i dont find it a good drama

The plot is really bad , ever since he changed a fell in love with the FL, the entire drama went downfall, i thought he was quite swag at first, but later he just became an idiot and such a simp, the acting is so far very good tho. The music is very suitable as they are very pleasant and kinda matches all the scenes, but the plot is just really bad. If you are a fan of a drama with a handsome ML and more of a male chase female drama, this might suite you but just keep in mind that sometimes it is really cringy and sometimes annoying but this is purely my personal opinion.

Mini drama très cute, avec une sweet sweet romance

Mini drama (24 X 30 min. sans les génériques) très cute, avec une sweet sweet romance entre 1nageur blessé et une étudiante en thérapie traumatique.

Les acteurs sont jeunes, mais tout à fait crédibles et ils incarnent les personnages avec un vrai talent. leur alchimie est palpable. Le ML est athlétique, handsome., tout à fait prometteur. J'espère le voir souvent dans des rôles principaux.

Le seul aspect inattendu dans ce drama universitaire/sportif, c'est le pouvoir électrique de la FL.
Les OST sont adaptées sans être mémorables.

Mais l'ensemble est bien ficelé, rythmé, donc pour les amateurs, vous passerez un très agréable moment.
