I was so hesitant to watch this at first because I rarely watch C-Dramas especially if I didn't know any of the actors in the drama. But since I was hooked by the storyline, I got interested and decided to give it a try. And after watching the first episode, let me tell you one thing: I NEVER REGRETTED GIVING THIS A TRY.
First of all, all actors are visuals! Zhang Xincheng (Steven Zhang) and Wu Qian (Janice Wu) are both very great actors as well! One of the reasons why I rarely watch a Chinese drama is because of their somewhat cringey acting, however, in this drama, I never felt any cringey feeling even once!! Their acting was so great, they displayed a lot of emotions, happy, in love, sad, angry and they nailed all of those!
Second, great scenes are everywhere! While watching this, you'll laugh, cry, become sad and angry, and most of all, you'll get butterflies in every episode! YES, EVERY EPISODE! The chemistry of both actors are no joke, their pairing in this drama is soooo on point! No wonder this became a hit, even the director himself said in an interview that the moment he first saw the two main leads, he already knew that they are perfect together!
Third, you might notice at first that this drama has stories like any other dramas have. Childhood friends parting, enemies turned into lovers, YES, it sounds cliche right? But the great acting of Steven and Janice pulled this drama off so well that no matter how cliche some scenes are, it'll keep you watching because you don't want to miss anything!
Fourth, although this drama might be a little bit cliche, this drama has everything that you need; Breakups, friendships unrequited love, third parties, reaching dreams, failing, giving up, standing up after falling down. And the most important thing: LESSONS. I learned and realized a lot of things while watching this. I learned that it's okay to fail sometimes, but what's not okay is giving up for your dreams because it feels like you're losing your soul, like living a life without a purpose. And doing something that you love is much more important because loving what you do will lead you to happiness.
Anyways, this drama is a complete package, interesting storyline, perfect chemistry, good cinematography, etc. So if you're wondering whether you should watch it, YOU SHOULD WATCH IT!
