A comfort watch I could keep on repeat
This was an absolute comfort to watch. The romance between You Nian and Miao Miao was so cute and sweet. You Nian was always so nice to Miao Miao and was boyfriend goals! I can’t remember watching a show where the male lead is so nice all of the time.
I really enjoyed the very beginning when we were just getting to know the characters and Miao Miao was first crushing on You Nian - it was pure innocence! Their time spent at the lighthouse was cute, so it was nice how the show wrapped up with them looking back at the lighthouse because it’s kind of like 'that’s where it all started.'
I loved how we got to see how You Nian’s started to realise his feelings for Miao Miao, and his confession to her was tear worthy. It was no surprise that he wanted to be the one to confess to her first.
Seeing Miao Miao grow into a smart young woman was so nice, and I’m glad she stood her ground and switched to the major she actually wanted to do.
The only thing that really bothered me about the story, apart from the timeline towards the end, was Miao Miao’s reason for breaking up with You Nian - it just seemed very lacklustre. There needs to be a better reason for the breakup. I know all of these stories need to have a complication (or do they?), so the writers should at least make it a good one.
He Xin, my girl, God bless her, but why did they make her want Kaituo so desperately? It was beginning to get quite unbearable to watch. Towards the end when the story was wrapping up it seemed so weird to me that they took yet another year to be together.
Kaituo was a troubled character but you do come around to him in the end, although I do think He Xin should have found someone better.
Another thing that did actually bother me is how they never aged up Miao Miao’s little sister. This show must have spanned what, at least 5 years and that child did not age! I was expecting there to be an actor switch, but nope.
I liked the soundtrack and in particular I liked the song played at the end of each episode.
Although this one had many episodes, they are short so it felt more manageable to watch and it is a great little one if you’re feeling down and just want something comforting.
