I stopped watching this drama a couple of times, but tried my best to finish watching it because I personally can't stand not finishing any dramas. But the plot of this drama... it is quite cliche and just, too much? The main character An Sheng, that is portrayed by Shen Yue, gives up easily for her best friend, Qi Yue, portrayed by Chen Du Ling. I understand that she really treasures the friendship and would do anything for her, but sometimes some of the scenarios are just too much? And their friendship goes under the rocks as many problems occur, but in like an episode or two, they're back to being best friends. An Sheng has also done selfish things to Qi Yue, but tries to justify it as doing it for Qi Yue's good. But close to the end of the drama, I feel extremely bad for An Sheng, because I realised that her entire life story is just very sad, but Qi Yue has such a good life story. I don't really understand why the script must be written in a way that An Sheng's life is just going to be this plain sad, and everything she does, would not benefit her and benefits Qi Yue instead. In the first 40 episodes, the plot moved very slowly, but in the last ten episodes, it just feels like a F1 race, where the plots just speeds up. Just in short, it's not a drama that you would finish watching or want to even re-watch. However, I would say that Shen Yue is good at portraying her character, because I truly feel bad for her when I watch the drama. However, Chen Du Ling's acting. . . I feel that she isn't able to portray much emotions? Like I don't feel touched by her acting at all.

This movie, really reminds me of my school days, although I've only graduated from school for a year. It makes me miss my school days - wearing uniform, hanging out with my friends, sleeping in class, admiring my deskmate. Just like in the movie, I really like my deskmate too. He was also the top student in the class, being great at everything he does. I started studying harder for him - I wanted to be good enough for him. Sadly, I never expressed my feelings for him, since I knew he probably did not like me back.
Tears did not stop running down my face while watching this movie. It really has sweet parts, and bitter ones. (It's really hard to describe my feelings from watching this movie in English, rip.)
What makes the movie even better, is Silence Wang's OSTs. Gosh, I did not expect to see him appear halfway through the movie to be honest. His songs are always great and it's a plus point, on why you should watch this movie!
P.S: I did not watch the drama version before watching this. Personally, I feel that it's best to watch the movie versions, before watching the drama because they are able to add in more details and develop the plots in dramas as there are so many episodes, unlike in movies. So, if you were to watch the drama first, I feel that you'll find the movie lacking, and not that appealing to watch.
Hope you enjoy watching!~

Personally, I'm a very lazy person and I hardly write reviews but I just had to write one for this drama because it is AMAZING.
At first, I didn't really feel interested to watch this drama, when I read a summary of it on Netflix, but I was pretty bored and oh god, I got hooked so badly.
The plot is pretty amazing - other than the fact that there was more screentime and plot for the second main lead - Runyu. But I guess it was for some kind of character development.
This drama has a focus on unrequited love and love triangle, and oh boy... I got my heart broken so many times and cried so much throughout the entire drama. It was an emotional rollercoaster.
The drama was pretty light-hearted, especially with Jinmi's oblivious and innocent character (played by Yang Zi), at the start -- it felt like the three main characters were just best friends etc., until the male leads started to develop more feelings for her and the main plot line starts to develop from there.
ANYWAYS in short, watch the drama. With this drama, I think I'll start watching more Yang Zi and Deng Lun's dramas.
