A mature take on another coming of age story with subtle and slow romance in a nostalgic way to clench the youth heart in you. I absolutely am in love with this show. I think I used to really enjoy fluff dramas but as I'm a bit older now, and after hundreds of cheesy guilty pleasure dramas, I have a better appreciation for realistic ones that take time to develop their plot. The main female lead is also so unique and different from the typical emotionally motivated (sometimes borderline stupid and illogical) female leads. All the lines were so beautiful UGHHH. I could literally quote so many things in one episode. Watching this show has even changed my viewpoints on love. Other females were given depth and not just there to be a one dimensional jealous homewrecker. If you like A Love So Beautiful, you'll love this. I would consider this a more refined version of it. Much more realistic scenarios and characters. Every line is so beautifully written and deep. The romance is slow and subtle but I think it showcases how real life is. Your life won't just revolve around love, you'll also experience friendship, school, family, and the hardships of youth. The only thing ALSB has over it is that the main actor/actress was more attractive. This is hands down the best Chinese show I have seen thus far.
