The story is cliche. But it is more than that.

After watching so many dramas, this is the first time I ever wrote a review because I may say, I can't move on. There is something about the story, the characters, the music, and even the artists itself that caught me. Yes the drama was cliche, yes we can find dramas with the same story line, yes it can be predicted, but I guarantee you, out of the dramas I've seen there is no such work that can be compared to the warmth it made me feel. I only watched it for 4 days, but I felt like the characters grew within me.

It was so cliche to the point that it was so realistic. It is more than just a love story. It is also about school, about family and about friends. It showed a slice of life; the youth. Everything was so real. From the title itself, it taught me that love can be so beautiful. Whether it be a puppy love, first love, unrequited love, requited love and true love. All of it is beautiful. It was so real that it made me smile, laugh, cry, angry and feel excited. It reminded me of how simple and how fun high school life can be. It also reminded me of college acceptances, university applications and even dreams I strive to reach. It made me wonder, what my life could possibly be.

How nice must it really be to feel in love. Whether it be to your family, to your friends, to your work, and even to your first crush.

Dear Jiang Chen, wo hen ai ni (one of the few words I remember from learning Chinese). AND PLEASE STOP SETTING THE BAR TO HIGH!! I mean, how could you portray the character so perfectly?! I already loved you since episode 1 and I think I will still love you. I just hated the fact that you waited until college to make her your girl. Or maybe I didn't really hate it because I liked seeing you in your jealous state. I love you, that's it.

Dear Chen Xiao Xi, thank you for the fun you brought us. There is no single thing to hate about you. Or maybe I just didn't like you chasing Jiang Chen so much? Or maybe that made the story really fun and exciting. The push and pull. I admire your persuasion, courage and loyalty. It was so innocent. I also liked your height difference with Jiang Chen. I liked your height because... same.

Dear Wo Bo Song, why?! Why do you have to be in pain for how many years? I taught when you left school, the pain is over. But why do you still have to be persuasive until you were all adult. You made me cry! Because out of all the scenes, your unrequited love is the most painfully real.

Dear Lin Jing Xiao, I admire you character for being so strong, for standing so tall, for studying so well, and for not chasing the star when you already got the moon. There's nothing I hate about you because I really love your character.

Dear Lu Yang, well from writing love story to everyone to marrying the prettiest girl in your class, your great. Your character is so funny but the health condition was so sad. It's so good it ended well. Or else this light story will be heavy drama and it's not going to be the same.

All in all, thank you for sharing us your youth. It was a nice story and it will forever be kept within me. This is fiction, but I got real learning. Thank you, A Love So Beautiful.

P.S. Thank you Jiang Chen for inspiring me. I am a pre-med student, graduating next year, carrying so much load from school and just surviving until graduation. Seeing you look good in white coat, it inspired me again to work hard and made me want to continue the dream I gave up because it was hard, to become I doctor. But was it really only 5 years? Because after pre-med there is still med for me.

P.P.S. It is April 22, 2018 today. I'll come back next year and edit this if I continued med school.
