This review may contain spoilers
pros:
- extremely funny, especially if you understand chinese
- touching and heartwarming storylines
- great actors and actressess
- plenty of relatable moments
- great main and recurring characters
- realistic
- school, friendship and family based storyline (there is slight romance but it's not the main focus of the show)
cons:
- (somewhat) ambiguous ending
- pretty slow pace
- some events are repetitive
- side (very minor) characters are pretty lacking
SPOILER AHEAD
i personally didn't like the ending. it was too lacking and it doesn't make sense (to me). honestly, she would be better off with liyu. because liyu always put her first, so i feel like she'd benefit more. but if she ended up with liyu, the "plot twist" or ending would be similar to Reply 1988 where duksun chooses taek over junghwan. i knew huabiao would never choose love over family, he was consistent with how much he cares about his granny. which is why the part where he part ways with yangxi to stay with his granny didn't seem so out of place. also there are soooooo many questions i have about the ending. like does yang xiao he mei ever confess to yanxi's brother?what happened to liyu's father after he got sick in guangzhou? did he quit his job? what happened to si tu er tiao's mother? did she cut contact with si tu er tiao and his father forever? it doesn't make sense because from the beginning, si tu er tiao was always closer to his mother rather than his father. furthermore, his mother is much more capable than his father. i just don't get why si tu er tiao is left with his father after the divorce.
anyways, i like how the main characters had development (even if it's the slightest bit). my personal favourites are huang dengdeng , si tu er tiao and yanxi's mother. huang dengdeng is the sweetest, most adorable character in the show. she learnt to let go of her unrequited love and put herself first instead. the part where everyone goes their seperate ways is sadly very realistic . the ending is bitter-sweet. overall, i liked the drama.
i'd suggest this drama to people who have time to kill and are looking for something light-hearted to watch.
