I first saw this show on Netflix. Netflix kept suggesting it to me, so I gave it a try. I tried watching the kdrama one as well, but I liked this Chinese version better. This was my first Asian drama. I thought the acting was natural and the chemistry between Dylan and Shen Yue was very natural and real chemistry! I would love to see them in another drama together some day. The chracters were not super deep, however, there were deep topics in the story. I think the characters and story were fleshed out well. It flowed smoothly in my opionion and did not just focus on the main leads, but gave some story time to the other characters as well.
I also loved the frienship of F4 and seeing how Dylan's character, Doming Si, grew up and learned to love and what being in love meant. I loved seeing the growth of the other characters as well. I loved seeing Shen Yue's character learn to trust and love as well. It was a bit Pride and Prejudice, but there are a lot of stories that are. I am a huge fan of Prode and Prejudice and a huge fan of the Chinese version MG 2018. This is definitely one of my favorite Asian dramas. I would recommend this drama to anyone, which I have. It is still on Netflix in my country of the USA and is almost always trending. I am glad that I get to rewatch it. Dylan and Shen Yue did a fabulous job portraying their characters as well as the other actors and actresses.
