A sweet but rushed love story
Let me start this by saying that the chinese original is probably one of my all-time favourite chinese dramas, and being a mostly kdrama fan, i had high expectations for this remake. I think anyone that watched both versions would agree that the kdrama is a disappointment, and is simply a less-dramatic, more innocent and rushed version, showing only the highlights of the original story.
Expectations and comparisons aside, this is not the type of drama that i would enjoy. It felt pointless, with everything mostly centering around the main leads innocent love story. And sadly, i didn't feel much chemistry between them, especially with the endless time skips that made most advancements magically happen. It didn't feel like there was enough build up.
The acting was definitely not very lacking, but i just didn't understand the characters. Most relationships, especially the second lead's fondness of the FL, felt forced and unnatural.
Nevertheless, watching this lightheartedly made it an overall cute and entertaining watch.
