I strongly recommend the Chinese drama this for those looking for a thoughtful, intelligent, beautifully acted drama. The main characters are too upper class for the drama to be considered slice of life but their struggles are very real and relatable. The male lead is flawed but at the same time admirable and swoon worthy. I started out heartily disliking the second male lead but grew to like him more and more as the story progressed. The two female leads may be my favorite female characters of all time. There is a lot of heartbreak in the drama but it is an ultimately uplifting story about friendship and love.
