Definitely my favorite drama and would watch it over and over again<333
I started this drama mainly because of Song Wei Long and before watching the first episode, I’ve already seen some clips on social media and it somehow didn't catch my attention that much. Nevertheless, since I had nothing to watch I decided to try it out, and it's now one of the best decisions I’ve made when it comes to cdramas.
What I loved:
1. Their childhood scenes - to be honest, I'm not a big fan of childhood scenes although in most dramas they’re usually just very short BUT IN THIS DRAMA I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE CUTE CHILD ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. The kids did such a great job in portraying their characters as if they really were the younger versions of the main leads. It didn't seem awkward to me at all and it somehow made me sad as I watched their last scenes as kids because I knew that I would miss them.
2. The main leads- As expected from these versatile actors and actresses, they surely never disappoint. They showed great chemistry and definitely perfect for their roles.
- For Song Wei Long in which I mentioned was the reason why I started this drama, it was very nice to see him portray a somehow different kind of character from his usual ones and HE STILL SLAYED IT. He expressed different kinds of emotions in every episode and it made me feel like I am his friend in real life because I wanted to comfort him so much.
- While for Steven Zhang, it was my first drama with him as the lead and I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM. The way he portrayed his character was just perfect as if the character was made for him. Watching this drama also made me a fan of him which is why I searched his dramas right away after I finished this drama and he truly is a wonderful actor.
- Lastly, Seven Tan also did not disappoint. It amazes me how suitable she is for Li Jianjian’s character ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HER AGE TOO. Despite being in her 30s she portrayed being a high school student in the most outstanding way. I can't imagine other actresses doing her character not because they are not as good as her but because SHE PORTRAYED IT TOO WELL. Also became a fan of her afterward hehe.
3. Storyline - The writer and the whole team are just all geniuses. Family problems, romance, friendships, some might think that this will be just like the other dramas BUT NO, they really added some spice here and TOO MUCH SPICE WHICH IS WHY EVERYONE LOVES IT. The conflicts they gave are very realistic and at the same time, it is very new to the viewers. Each character teaches you a lesson and would inspire you. Although this drama broke my heart and made me cry so much, IT WAS ALL WORTH IT. It was nice to see each character grow and slowly overcome their problems with the help of their families and friends. Truly one of the best storylines.
4. Length - Some may know that cdramas are usually very long but this drama never made me complain because each episode is worthwhile. I am very satisfied with the number of episodes and the pacing so you all don't have to worry about it.
5. Rewatch value - I actually watched this drama last year back when it was still ongoing AND UP UNTIL NOW IM STILL WAITING FOR THE TIME THAT THE SCENES ARENT THAT FRESH IN MY MIND SO I CAN REWATCH IT AGAIN IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. But sadly, this drama is too good and my brain refuses to forget it so all I can do is to convince you all to watch.
What I didnt like:
1. None hehe
Anyway, may all these reviews from other people and me be enough to convince you to watch because you’re missing out on such impressive drama (or I suggest watching the first few eps and see if you’ll like it).
