One of the best - a classic

Where do I start - I am a fan of Yang Yang and Dilraba's acting - so its no brainer that when I heard about this series I was naturally excited...it did not let me down.. The story was written by Gu Man (same author who wrote Love O2O) - this was a mature healthy love story, although it took Yu Tu (Yang Yang) around 20 episodes to accept his feelings.

YuTu (YangYang) and JingJing (Dilraba) meet after 10 years ( at the initiation of JingJing) - ever since High School JJ had a crush/love towards the genius star student YuTu, who she felt was destined to do great things...during High School she was turned down by YuTu as he was not interested to have a girlfriend who doesn't have similar intelligence as him (harsh I know - he turns her down quite politely); again also in ep 15/16, Yu Tu was unsure of his feelings and felt the gap between them was too wide (she was rich/he was poor etc etc)

Fast forward 10 years JJ's a mega successful actress & Yu Tu an aerospace engineer currently struggling to determine whether to follow his passion (aerospace engineer) or go for high paying finance job. When YuTu didn't have faith in himself, JingJing always had unwavering faith in him...during the last episode at the rocket launch - Jing Jing reminisces the high school conversation she overheard from YuTu about sending probe/satellite - the look of happiness and immense pride in Jing Jing's face as Yu Tu realized his dream shows that indeed " Yu Tu was her glory", Yu Tu was quite proud of JingJing's acheivements too . One cannot help but feel inspired by JingJing's blind confidence and trust in YuTu, - this trust makes Jing Jing more determined/inspired to work hard to succeed in her field.

Its a beautiful love story - once they get together there are no breakup's, no MIL issues/or other melodrama - a mature love story with loads of chemistry (in fact oozing out) between the leads. It also gives an idea of the tough (& dedicated) life of people who work in the aerospace field.

There were so many sweet and touching moments after the 20th/21st episode...you cannot help but fall in love with both Yu Tu/ Jing Jing's character...they are so right for each other but it took the highly intelligent YuTu more than 10 years to figure it out whilst Jing Jing (High EQ/intelligent) always knew how compatible they are.

Yu Tu- Jing Jing is one of my most favourite C- Drama fictional couples - simply because of the deep love, respect they have for each other & how they inspire each other to excel in their respective field.

Yang Yang and Dilraba did a magnificent job in portraying the characters....I read the book after I watched the series - but I had wished I read the book first it would give a better insight.

If you love sweet, romantic mature drama's watch this - highly recommend.
