Ok, when i first watch this series, i didn't expect to be this good. I've watched several things with Luhan as ML and thought that his acting is so-so. And about Wu Lei, i just know him from Nirvana in Fire, and i see this kid is really adorable. Who's gonna refuse that pouty face? But for the rest of the cast, i really don't know them so this is my first time to watch their acting.

First of all, there's time when the plot is quite messy, and the editing also gets choopy. Especially in the middle of the series, there is a moment when the dialouge seems not related with the previous episode and the acting is kinda awkward. They also take time too long to make a sequence of the story, and that makes me already forget about what has been happening before.

But for a 36 episodes of drama, and the duration for every episode is longer than cdrama in general, i found this series is quite addictive. Yes, episode 1 is not that compelling to me, but from there onward, i just can't stop binge watching. The story is good, it makes the series to another level. The premise maybe seems general, but its storytelling is so detailed and quite complex. The editing in initial episodes also that good, and the dialogue is really clever. The ending, although seems too far fetch but match with the story overall and satisfying. I have to applause the director and screenwriter for this part.

And for the acting, i must say the casting director is a genius, man! She/ he can cast someone that really fit with the character. I can't say that all actors have superb acting, but they can bring their own character into flesh because they really fit in with it. If i have to pick, i must say Wu Lei is the good one in acting department. I think he can manage his character really good and brings his raw emotion to the viewers. I cry several times when seeing his scenes. The actor who play his father also good, but he has smaller part than other main casts.

And that's all my thought. So, if you wanted to see a drama without too much romantic scene and more focused in friendship, family and achieving a dream, then this drama is for you. It is a heart warming drama and left deep impression to me as a viewer :)
