Muito gostosinho de assistir.
Pense num dorama gostosinho de assistir. Ele acompanha o colegial, até a fase adulta de um grupo de amigos. É agradável de assistir o desenvolvimento deles até a fase adulta. E tanto o casal principal, como o secundário, são encantadores.Tem uma pitada pequena de drama, mas não é aquela coisa massante, para mim pareceu aquele tipo de dorama que você tem que assistir quando quer relaxar. E só vai, kkk.
Gostei que a prota é decidida, foi ela que praticamente correu atrás dele. Pois como ele é um personagem tímido e até retraído, por conta dos pais, por sinal que pais em? Teve horas que me dava vontade de pegar eles e gritar. Pior que esses tipos de pais são muito comum pelo mundo. Sabe aquilo de priorizar um filho sobre o outro? Por culpa deles o Prota nem acreditava que era capaz. É muito linda, uma declaração que ele faz, que diz que foi a Prota que fez com que ele confiasse mais nele, ela que aumentava a autoestima dele. O que tornou tudo ainda mais fofo, pois mesmo eles sendo o completo oposto, se completavam de um jeito único.
Demora pra eles engrenarem no romance, acho que pela questão cultural deles de priorizar os estudos, mas é gostoso de ver o desenrolar do amor deles. Não é aquela coisa corrida, como ocorre muito hoje. Eles não pularam etapas. E quando finalmente se declararam, os capítulos do desenvolvimento do namoro deles eram tão leves, que passavam que eu nem percebia, quando vi só tinha acabado. E o que eu mais gostei é que eles confiavam muito um no outro.
E o pedido de casamento dele foi muito fofo, acho que o mais fofo que eu já vi no mundo dos doramas.
Queria mais capítulos, kkk.

Youth Drama at its finest !!
Usually I take MDL ratings with a pinch of salt but this is one of the rare times where the rating actually reflects the quality of the series..in fact I would say this rating is less for how good this drama is...no angst, no unnecessary conflicts..pure love and friendship as it should be..the FL was so charismatic that you couldn't help but fall in love with her..the ML was d definition of boyfriend material...loved d secondary couple and thought they were really amazing which is quite rare for me..overall a beautiful, lively, heartwarming drama that will make you smile and cry happy tears throughout !! bravo !! 10/10 without any reservations!! also special mention to d cinematography !!Was this review helpful to you?
A very sweet story between an introverted guy and cheerful girl: not revolutionary but heartfelt !
I truly enjoyed this very healing drama about the blossoming romance of Zhang Lu Rang and Su Zai Zai who met in high school. There were a lot of sincerity in the love and friendship displayed on screen and I really appreciated following the journey of the main couple (as well as their friends). The latest arc of the drama was not my favorite, it was good for rounding up the story but I'm not sure why it grabbed less my attention.The acting was satisfying. The female lead (played by Zhang Miao Yi) was such a cutie and bubbly girl that you immediately understood why the male lead (played by Zhou Yi Ran) was drawn to her. Zhou Yi Ran's character was such a green flag, he had a lot of kind attention for the heroine that really gave me butterflies in the stomach. He is really charming with his dimples and I'm looking forward to see him in other shows.
The production value was pretty nice. I loved the fact that the heroine was filming the hero and doing her own commentary on her life. It was such a nice and realistic touch which came into play several times in an interesting way. The soundtrack was good, nothing really outstanding but fitting the romantic and healing vibe of the series.
I would recommend this to people looking for a really beautiful high school romance and featuring wholesome friendships. The last arc was a bit less exciting to me but concluded properly the story. If you are looking for a romance without angst, full of green flags and little butterflies inducing moments, this is a really good drama for you !

I love
I really liked this drama, I watched it three times, the first time it aired, then when it ended, and again today! I really love this drama a lot from the beautiful friendship that the protagonists have (five) the relationship with the grandmother of one of them, the appreciation I feel for this drama is a one! I love it highly recommended! EPISODE more dramas of the actress that I found her action super cute and I hope nothing serves the review for everyone and enjoy the drama! enjoy the coupleWas this review helpful to you?
It's so cute, innocent and I love that we follow the journey. You have Su ZaiZai that is just SWEET. Not a single thing bothers this girl and when she falls for boy wonder, the rest is history. I love how respectful, sweet, reserved but still caring Zhang Lu Rang is; they truly were just the most iconic duo and I love that they skirted around love so easily. They truly were friends first then lovers and everything about that was just so sweet and amazing and I was down for the cause forreal. But the friendships were also amazing and I loved the families minus THE MOM IFYKYK; but other than that fantastic watch.
I loved the acting, new faces for me but they did the damn thing.
Music was REMARKABLE; every song was wonderful and I loved the variety.
Overall, definitely watch this :)

Wholesome easy watching
It took me a while to get into this drama because it’s so different to the dramas I usually watch. It’s not super dramatic, with constant plot twists and and dilemmas, it’s cute and wholesome watching that makes you feel warm inside. It was a refreshing watch with no annoying misunderstanding trope to be found and the small problems that did occur were quickly solved. Usually with dramas I’m sobbing from heartbreak but in WIFTY I was shedding tears from happiness by the last episode. This is the perfect coming of age drama and I’m so glad I stuck it through the first few episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute love story
Drama is very cute! One would feel like smiling all the time while watching the drama. The leads look good together. Their pairing looks natural. It doesn’t look like they are acting. Some good messages are conveyed through drama related to stress due to comparison between students and how love always comes first and can resolve all conflicts. Brotherly love is shown beautifully.The female lead character is shown as strong person who can take care of herself and handle all the problems thrown at her. Her perspective is fresh and pure and she stands up for her beliefs. Her character remains cheerful in all episodes except for 1 where there was 1 misunderstanding that put her down. Otherwise in all other episodes, her character remains uplifted and full of joy.
The male lead character is silent but takes proper action when needed. His character is reliable and cute. So they both look really cute together.

MY FINEST COMFORT C DRAMA!
As a high schooler myself, this hit so hard, especially since I was also on my way to my future with my friends. The actor's acting is not forced; it's so natural, and the cinematography is a breath of fresh air! There's no trope; it just makes you feel, in some way, comforted that some scenes make you tear up a little, especially the scenes of friendship between the five of them, which is so precious! I love how the drama balances the side stories of the characters, from how they started as high school students who joke around and have fun to achieving their dreams at the end and still being in contact with each other. This is such a healthy drama of family-orientedness and friendship. Over all, I really recommend this; you won't regret watching it.Was this review helpful to you?
Must Watch
If you like coming of age, YA type of romance - you will like this.A lot cdramas have a lot of fillers or just situations that keep going out of control and creating misunderstandings for no reason. This drama was such a breath of fresh air where there are characters who were more sorted than most adults are and they show a lot of maturity and understanding throughout the series.
It was cute and adorable without being annoying and most importantly, it doesn't make you want to fast forward. The are so many green flags in this show!!

It pains me to say that this drama would’ve received a far higher rating...
from me if it wasn’t for the FL...Like genuinely the FL was what stood in the way between the rating I gave vs a rating that was 1-2 stars higher. I simply couldn’t stand her weird dialogue and acting since the very start of this drama. Although the drama itself kind of grew on me toward the end (not enough tbh), I consistently rolled my eyes at her and cringed at least once every episode. There’s a night and day difference between Su Zaizai and Jiang Jia (and I LOVED Jiang Jia) and I genuinely think they could’ve allowed Zaizai to keep her bubbly personality without turning her into a 5 year-old in a 25 year-old woman’s body. The plot here should theoretically be my cup of tea, actually, but for some reason I ran into the same issue I run into with some youth cdramas where for some reason I’m just kind of bored the whole time. I don’t think the drama did anything wrong per se, I might just not be one to enjoy youth cdramas as much as I think. However, I really enjoyed the fact that there was quick and easy conflict resolution and nothing super dramatic that happened. It made the watch very enjoyable and positive and is why I say that it’s technically “my type” of drama. Funny enough, as much as I complain about unresolved misunderstandings, I would’ve been okay with some of them being resolved a little later (the not annoying ones ahah) since they added some entertainment in the sea of “no problems whatsoever the couples are together and happy as can be” eutopia in romcoms that gets boring QUICK if you overdo it. Anywho, I personally don’t really think the drama deserves a 9.0 rating since there were personally quite a few issues I encountered that I’m sure other people have as well, and I felt like there was just little to no emotional impact with the characters for me personally (I’m comparing to how I felt watching dramas like Hidden Love or Someday or One Day who did great in this department). But if you don’t mind an incredibly cringey FL (gahh) and enjoy the youth genre, I would still recommend you watch this one as you’re likely to really enjoy it.Was this review helpful to you?

I'm a mess
I waited 3 weeks to let this drama settle and I can honestly say that this drama left me a wreck. I can not stress the happy emptiness I felt after completing the final episode. What I loved most was how fulfilled I felt at the end. I felt like it was properly resolved, there were no loose ends that needed to be tied, and I felt that everything was as it needed to be.Unlike other slice-of-life dramas, I felt that the five of them truly were friends and could've existed as friends outside of the relationships. I love how we got to see a little bit of their stories and their struggles without it needing to be an elaborate plot. It was still as poignant and relatable. All five of them sincerely hold a soft spot in my heart and honestly, in the last few weeks I've rewatched it multiple times. It's super light and easy to follow, and i watched it following the mess of The legend of Anle

YAY TO FLUFFY DRAMAS MAKING YOUR HEART HAPPY + HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS (!!!)
Title says it all! I'm a bit late to watching this drama, but after a year of a huge drama drought where it was hard to find anything genuinely worth watching from beginning to end, THIS WAS SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! I wish I could've recorded myself watching this drama because I smiled the entire time. It was that wholesome and good. <3This drama is from the POV of Su Zai Zai, our protagonist and FL. As many others have pointed out, the actress, Zhang Miao Yi, did a great job pulling off the cutesy-but-not-annoying-or-cringey character. It was the type of cute where you're like "if I was a guy, I would totally have a crush on her. She's so adorable." And OMG OUR RANG RANG <3333333 Honestly Zhou Yiran's dimples WERE SO CUTE BC EVERYTIME HE SMILED I WAS LIKE AHHHHHHHHHH SO CUTE!!! I absolutely LOVED how Zhang Lurang was not your typical cold, genius, super good at everything ML. He seemed like a real person, who despite seeming "cold" at first, is actually super warm and def a man that loves HARD. The relationship between SZZ and ZLR was so healthy to see, which I really think we need to see more of in C-dramas. The relationship between the second leads, Gu Ran and Jiang Jia was also absolutely endearing to see. As many others have pointed out, I would watch a drama based off of their relationship as well :) And Guan Fang + his relationship with his grandma was soooo sweet. I just lost my grandmother recently, so seeing how much grandma + grandson cared for each other meant a lot to me.
The first 19 or so episodes are about their high school life, from how the group of 5 met in 10th grade (LOL) to graduation in 12th grade. It then follows their life in university and beyond. If you look at some of the other dramas I've watched, I absolutely love dramas that follow the characters over a long period of time. I always love seeing how characters have changed, since we clearly aren't the same people from high school to college, much less from high school to our working life.
I only write reviews for SUPER SUPER GOOD DRAMAS, so please DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!! Do it for the most endearing friendships, romantic relationships, DRAMA FREE PLOT, and heart + head-soothing story. Seriously. Do yourself a favor, stop scrolling on MDL, and go watch this drama. There's a reason it's rated so highly.
And to all my ladies out there, LOLOLOLOL I like how our standards have collectively been risen.
