I recommend this drama 100 out of 10. I don't want to exagerate because it isn't an Oscar worthy type of drama. It's more of a fluffy youth drama. But it's the type of drama that will tug on your heart strings and bring you on the journey of Jiang Chen and Xiao Xia and all the side characters. I haven't felt bored once during the drama. My heart fluttered a lot and I'm in my mid 30s with children, and a great husband. This youth drama is not only for youth. I think all ages can appreciate this drama reminding us of pure and innocent love. I feel that the team behind the drama did a great job at keeping this drama light-hearted while addressing very important life lessons.
This drama made me feel that Chinese entertainment is catching on to the current trends and this drama has become a favorite modern Chinese drama of mine. The acting is natural and not cringy at all. The actors did a great job as newbies at portraying their characters to be believable. It is hard to get over this drama!
I also feel that this drama will capture the heart of many international fans. The actors portraying Jiang Chen and Xiao Xi have very likable qualities and personalities offscreen that would draw people to them. If China produces more dramas like this, it will definitely open up more interest in Chinese dramas.
P.S. - I wasn't interested in the trailers until I watched this Youtube Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y7LjuIsHdw - If you are hesitating and wondering about the storyline - watch this 7 minute video and trust me - you will want to watch the whole thing!
