KOKO KRUNCH
I really don't like Yumings character, his tactics make my blood boil. If you really want her then be fair. Adding Canyang and Minmin was a good choice to clearly show the double standards about age gap in relationships. FanXing's mother was a hypocrite. The reasonI stayed was the main couple and the sub couple's romantic scenes. They were compatible and mature looking?. It was nice but I won't rewatch the whole series. Maybe only the romantic scenes in YT I would replay.

My expectation- gore, bloody, scary, disturbing and chilling (if this is the right term). IT. WAS. NOT. I watched this around 1am-3am or 4 but I did not feel scared at all. The only time I felt disturbed is when they ate raw meat.
The drama was very slow. I was expecting something right off at ep 1 since everybody's reaction about it was great, but nah. (Also since the drama is short, around 10 eps only).
Kudos to the man acting as twins, he was too annoying to be honest that I want to punch the screen every time I see his character. The perv one too but the twins were more annoying.
Siwan's GF looked like Ryujin lol.
My reaction watching this was saying "boring, boring, boring" over and over. The only time I was hyped was the ending. Extracurricular was better.

This is literally my cup of tea when it comes to watching since my reason watching it in the first place is to de-stress and escape reality.
They said that Yangyang wasn't much here but I think he played the role perfectly. He clearly showed his confidence but not to the point of narcisism. Even Jing Boran wasn't able to portray Xiao Nai's confidence that well. Clear difference is when Boran lost his cool while presenting while Yangyang was calm even after what happened. The best point for me is how he trusted Weiwei (because how can you trust strangers more than your partner).
Zheng Shuang as Weiwei was also the best choice. (Except for the kiss lol how can you not respond to Yangyang). She clearly portayed that girly girl who can be easily misunderstood because of her brain, beauty and sweetness -how much more who would expect her to be a top gamer. In Angelababy's case, she was kinda tomboyish in the movie so you can imagine her being a gamer.
The only thing I was disappointed was how they never let Weiwei have her own time to showcase her smart brain except for multitasking studying, relationships, work and gaming. I would not consider her support to Xiaonai as work tho. She was clearly there because she knew Xiaonai can be cold to others so she took part in being the mom of the group. They could have let her have her own produced game or app or whatever she can do.
The drama can be clichè, cringe and it can also be not your type so don't expect them to do what you have in mind. This is not a slice-of-life genre. Don't need to be realistic.
This is for those who just want to think about nothing and let them enjoy their free time watching. Every character in the drama is too perfect to exist in real life anyways. So happy watching.

Characters were great. No weird antagonist. Only possible real life hardships and problems. Sibling relationship could be relatable to some.
Chemistry were great, very realistic on that part too. Kissing scenes are high quality for both main couple and sub couple. True love on point, I mean who can wait that long and still be inlove.
Rewatch value is high because you will find yourself watching clips for every scene as soon as you finish the drama. Reason is CHEMISTRY. Both actors really did a great job. I won't be surprised if they really date in real life. (Though they were rumored to be).

If you want to feel good for yourself, this is the drama best for you. It can make you laugh, cry, angry, annoyed and also flutter your heart. It relays very positive messages unlike most of drama today that only focus on romance and skinship.
Casts' acting was also great that you would sometimes forget that they are just acting while you are watching.
They also put a lot of effort during band session. They had to learn instruments, Mido had to sing badly even when she's a great singer.
OST and covers were so iconic that I play every day and night their cover of Aloha by cool.
Overall, I think this drama added 5 years to my life expectancy. Lol. That's how much I love this drama.

I liked the OST's, it was heartwarming specially the lyrics since it was about snow and such (I don't even know Chinese). I also liked the part where athletes had their own slump and how they overcame it.
With regards to the love story, it also felt like Yubing was definitely more in-love with Tang Xue. He gave more effort and understanding than her. They had chemistry and compatability that I can't imagine Steven Zhang having another lady as her partner in other dramas soon. But I observed that in kiss scenes, Janice was more subtle here than in Le Coup De Foudre.
With characters, I felt like Tang Xue's nerd roommate was quite unnecessary. It was so weird that she would suddenly recite sayings/philosophies like that. Kind off unrealistic in real life.

I was actually hesistant to watch this because of the previous summary provided (which they changed already). But the moment I clicked on the video and heard the intro OST I was immediately hooked?? And excited what the drama would be about. So the story is pretty plain but the reason I stayed would probably be because of the Main Couples' chemistry. They are very comfortable to watch so kudos to that. I rated rewatch value that high because I found myself searching videos about the drama every single day and night.. If you want to feel single then you should def watch this

Acting and cast was great no doubt, I won't even talk about it. My question is, how did the case get cold. Why did the detectives not doubt the victims' husband/father if he bought a large amount of insurance. Typically in other dramas/movies they would suspect the spouse if it has a large amount of insurance.
Also, is it because of the timeline? How did the police not have a piece of evidence like fingerprint when he did the job so poorly like leaving the scene looking like that.
Did his real brother die? Too many unanswered questions for the sake of my curiosity.
For the music, I don't remember anything so I guess it did not stood out.
This is a mystery movie so rewatching would kind of be pointless because you won't be thrilled anymore (IMO). But it is a great twist and turn movie. Highly recommended

About the main couple's romance, it would have been better if they showed how they built their feelings for each other. I was so surprised that Tae-eul suddenly liked Lee Gon the next episode (maybe that's the reason I can't find their chemistry).
I was so excited about the drama tbh. The production was great, plot was great but very very slow paced (except Tae-eul's feelings). I think I will continue to watch this only when I can't think of any drama to watch.
5 star rating for music cause of Wendy my loveeeee
3.5 star for acting because of leads chemistry. Could have been higher because of Do-hwan and star studded casts.
