Naturally sweet romance; two people finding their way back to each other after many years.

A vertically filmed micro drama (I rate these on their own sliding scale). General spoilers only below. Really sweet while staying natural (not going over-the-top), and fully satisfying! The focus remains on the developing relationship between the leads. A calm yet captivating story, especially for those who enjoy slow-burn, long-standing crushes, and rekindling love. There's pursuing, wooing, and flirting as well as supporting and comforting. A bit different than most vertical dramas I've seen, and well written. Mostly from the FL's POV, but there are times with the ML's POV interspersed throughout.

Both leads are good people, genuine, and faithful to eachother. I was easily and fully invested in both of them.

The acting is great (especially Wang GeGe as the FL; her eyes express so many nuances), and the chemistry is palpable and consistent throughout. There is some skinship, hugs, face caresses, and face/neck kisses. No direct lip kisses in this one but I didn't mind in this instance because the romantic and physical tension was satisfying even without them. There are a few suggestive lines of dialogue too later in the story. The FL is enraptured with the ML's hands, he knows, and it's fun to watch him use them to flirt with her.

Characters act and speak like people in real life might, even the jealous ones. There are no crazy plot shenanigans (there is a little drama here and there but it stays within the realm of plausibility), no violence (apart from a couple of punches), no abuse, no family hate, no long pointless arguments, and no mistaken identities. While there is a 3rd wheel wannabe for the ML, she is not given a lot of screen time or power, and the guys who get crushes on the FL are respectful and get minimal screen time as well. There is one big misunderstanding from back in highschool that takes a while for both leads to open up about, but that is also approached believably.

An easy recommendation for fans of relationship-focused romances. I expect I will also re-watch at some point.

I watched on a licensed channel (浪漫短劇社Romantic Drama) with good English subtitles in Nov 2024: https://youtu.be/OVjp4QDx128?si=fE1zgYw2emTuw-gC
