It is worth the watch!

Story - 8.5 : I give the story an 8.5 because the love triangle that bloomed was calm and reasonable throughout the story so I enjoyed how they didn't overdo it. Some people might find that the show is a bit slow and "quiet" so that also took the rating down a notch. However everything comes together well and it is really endearing, including the side characters, especially the feisty girl and "dorky" best friends. We get to see all their growth as the love develops and I really enjoyed that leading me to re-watch it again. Also Xiaoxi's story/character is very well done, she's ditsy but not completely dumb and submissive like we tend to see in these unrequited love stories. She stands up for herself, has common sense, humor and is a good friend and understanding. She isn't book smart, but she has the kind of intelligence that brightens the room and cheers up the people around her, making everyone more involved which definitely amped the story up .

Acting/Cast - the height difference really tops the story off and contributes a lot. The characters look perfect for their roles. However, it was taken down a notch because as the love started to develop and it was no longer unrequited, the male lead, Jiang Chen kind of sucked at showing any emotion. He was really good at being stoic, but he didn't really look in love or happy at times, it wasn't convincing enough.

Music - the happy go lucky, on the calmer side soundtrack is fitting for the story, not enough to make you dance or really get into it though.

Rewatch value - because the story goes a bit slow, unless you feel connected to the characters and story it may be a bit too boring for a rewatch.
