A very pleasant surprise.

If you are a fan of Itazura Na Kiss/It Started with a Kiss/A Life So Beautiful, this is the drama for you. The story is very , very similar, high schoolers that go to college with the FL chasing ML. Even some of the conflicts are similar, you cannot tell me that this isn't an Itazura Na Kiss adaptation. Lol. ML of course is wonderful- smart, good looking, but cold. He is not mean though and this is why I love this version so much. You can feel how much he likes her even though he does not say anything, which is my favorite. He is so dedicated to her it makes me happy inside. Honestly, there has been so many remakes/adaptation of the original Itazura Na Kiss story in various languages and some of them are great, while some of them are just okay and what makes this distinction are the ML and FL and how they work together. ML and FL chemistry here is undeniable!! Probably one of my top if not top 3 adaptation of the story. The characters, even supporting roles are all very endearing. Neither one of them are high schoolers and they are so believable. The OST is also very pleasant and enhances and does not distract from the scenes. Also, I love FL. SHE IS NOT WEAK. She is sure about her feelings and assertive in not annoying way. Also, some of her speeches in episodes 16-17...has my heart. One of my favorite lines/scenes are from episode 17 in the lab when she tells him his feelings again. I love her so much. All in all, highly recommended! I found this randomly searching on youtube for a new Chinese drama and obviously the plot spoke to me. Hope these two actors get to work together again in more mature/adult roles because their chemistry is everything!!
