Relatable for folks who have experience one sided love


Watching this drama I laughed and cried with Lou Zhi and her journey of love. I also love Bai Li's story despite being stupid in love at first.

This is a typical coming of age drama, where the drama focused on growing up, friendship, family and love.

I liked this version better than the 2019 version. Although the ending of the 2019 version is better, that wedding was a culmination of the hardships the couple encountered which was missed on this one, I hope they make a special episode with a wedding for our main leads.

It was painful to watch Sheng Huainan confront Lou Zhi about her feelings, I seriously cried buckets on episode 21 and 22 and realized that Sheng Huainan is a confused boy because everyone around them in college who was with them when they were in high school basically ruined Lou Zhi's reputation, he became so muddled so when he realized he's fallen in love Lou Zhi had to protect herself from the pain of being misunderstood and being ghosted. I hate the part he ghosted her. Seriously, after all that flirting you left the girl hanging...

Overall, I liked the drama and the OST encompassed what they went through, although, the ending was not same as the old version, I liked that it was realistic and open ended, like a do over for what they missed years ago. <3

Someone who has been or is currently experiencing unrequited love would definitely relate to the leads journey.

The acting is on point for all the characters on this version, I loved Bai Li and how she grew more mature. I seriously hated the ex girlfriend and her pathetic attempts to ruin Lou Zhi in the MLs eyes and build herself up which is just to selfish. I think it's karma for her to realize she like someone else but that someone else was in a coma after letting her know he gave her what he wished for. I just wished he found someone else and loved, it would be a nice lesson for her.

I would definitely rewatch this.
