Exceeded my expectations,really a great drama
I was really excited when this drama was announced and had high expectations for this drama. And I have to say,it really exceeded my expectations. I could say,this is one of the best chinese youth dramas I ever watched. Even though the plot description in mdl sounds confusing,I recommend you to give it a try!Story - Overall,it doesn't have boring moments and the story seem well written. Its about Gu Xiao Man,a 28 HR manager who went back to her high school days, there she met Lin Xiao Ran,a sports student and they became friends. Unlike most youth dramas,this drama focused more on friendships and studies. The side characters all have their own stories and problems. Although,I really wish that there will be more scenes in the present and for the story to focus a bit more on the side characters .Aside from that,the story is just full of fluff and I like that there's no break up or evil/annoying sml or sfl. Misunderstanding are definitely something that you can't avoid but I love that they solved it immediately and it doesn't drag for really long
Cast - Lai Guanlin acting definitely improve since A little thing called first love and as a fan of Lai Guanlin,I'm definitely proud of him. As for Li Landi,I never watched any of her dramas but her chemistry with Lai Guanlin is really good. Even though there's little skinship scenes and no kiss scenes,every moment of theirs was just heart fluttering and sweet. And for the side characters,aside from Wang Run Ze,I never really seen any of the other side character dramas before but their acting is pretty good.
Music - I don't have much to say about the music but I really love it. Especially the opening theme sang by Lai Guanlin,it just instantly get stuck inside your head. Also props to the editing team,they always make the music fit perfectly match with the scene.
Rewatch Value - I don't usually rewatch dramas so 7.5 is already a pretty high scores. I would definitely go see some scenes on mango tv from time to time and maybe rewatch the series again when I have time.
