A pleasant surprise!
This drama was a surprise and I love it. I started this right after watching Yu Shuxin from LBDAF which I truly enjoyed, and I was not sure what to expect from this drama. I saw the promotional materials of the drama before airing and I have read the summary but did not expect much. Also, I know Zhang Binbin and tried to watch his other recent dramas, but it failed to interest me, so again I was not expecting much.When I watched the first episode, I was really taken aback by the chemistry of the main leads. I mean I just finished LBDAF and was totally enjoying the main CPs story there, but I personally, I found myself enjoying more the CP here.
This drama is sweet, relaxing and very heartwarming. I also became a fan of Yu Shuxin, who is very, very adorable and Zhang Binbin! I really don’t care much about ZBB before and have watched him from my other fave dramas like Eternal Love and Love O2O but now, I just love him! s
I heard that they are planning to film a Season 2 which says to compensate for the lack of time given to the main CP so hopefully, it will push through and I’m so looking forward to it!

Almost missed this gem of a drama
I'm late at the game since I just finished it today. This came out right after TLP which I love so it took me a while to cleanse my withdrawal syndrome from that drama. I'm so glad that I tried watching this now since no current drama caught my attention recently.As for the story, I love epic and bittersweet dramas such as this. The story is so gripping that I'm glad I've watched it now where all episodes are available.
For the characters, let me break my review:
1. Xiaoyao - strong-willed and very jaded which is understandable due to the circumstances that the character went through.
2. Cang Xuan - XY's brother. I love CX character. From the start, you can see that is meant to be the king.
3. Tunshan Jing - XY' true love. The most pitiful character. His kindness and gentleness are both his strength and weakness. I read reviews and people are disappointed with his character since they see him as very weak and helpless, however, that weakness made me love him more. Not your typical Alpha male and bad boy ML character.
4. Xiang Liu - XY's BFF (friendzone). His abusive behavior towards XY during the start of the drama made him my least favorite character. Love him or hate him, he is what is his because of what he has gone through in his life.
Now, I'm in the minority here since most of the viewers are Team XL but the most character that touched my heart is Tunshan Jing. XY and TJ's love story is so sad and poignant that their parting made me cry a lot. I love dramas with sad endings like Goodbye My Princess and The Longest Promise.
For the actors, Yang Zi brought her A-game for this drama. Also, first time watching Zhang Wan Yi, Deng Wei, and Tan Jian Ci. Now I understand the hype about these 3 actors after the drama. All of them are good but my bias has to be Deng Wei.
Cannot wait for Season 2!

Story: It’s very light and entertaining. The combination of the comedy, romance and drama is just right. I love the pacing and everything on it.
Acting: Usually for this type of drama, the female lead tends to be annoying or overbearing but ju jing yu acting is so refreshing and her expressions are so on point. I love her character and how to interpreted it. For the main lead, i also love zhang zhehan’s character that made me fall in love him. I love their chemistry!
Over all, it’s such a great watch and i feel lucky that i came across this gem!
