Organic Relationship after a slightly roughish start

This drama is highly rated and so, I gave it a go. I was worried that it would be a little "too young" for me but I was pleasantly surprised by how relatable and cute the drama was.

What I liked:
- The conflicts were resolved fairly quickly. No one tried being noble idiot (other than Xie Ang and Mian Mian). Their relationships were all pretty normal and relatable. "Slice of life" like. I liked that conflicts were fairly swiftly resolved and not long-drawn out over many episodes.
- The actors and actresses were newbies but they acted earnestly and were adorable enough.
- The ML and FL were truly into each other which was nice to see. The FL was chummy with Qin Kai but she was never coquettish or improper. She appeared to truly treat Qin Kai well as a good friend which was nice to see. Qin Kai did not over-step his boundaries either. He really liked FL but he was not crazy like some other actors can be in some dramas.
- The growth of the characters from teenagers to young adults was nice to see.
- The ending was a cliched but happy one and so, I was a happy camper.

What didn't impress me much:
- The ML and FL did not have much sizzle. Sure, they looked pretty good together but I would not describe their being together as "hot" or "sizzling". They were a very ordinary "hmm, okay" couple.
- Xie Ang and Mian Mian did not have a healthy relationship from the beginning or at all. However, they realised that they had to work on their relationship and make things better if they truly wanted to be together. They did not communicate clearly with each other. I think the lesson that viewers can take away from here is that for relationships to work, both parties need to communicate pleasantly and considerately to each other.

Overall, this is a pretty decent drama with newbies in it. I'd say: Watch. But, there's nothing much to re-watch. No withdrawal symptoms after the show is done and dusted.
