a heartwarming bittersweet youth growing up story

i just finished watching this amazing drama, i have so many emotions going through me rn. this drama literally hit all the right points in a youth drama, it made me laugh and cry in the best way possible. here's a breakdown of the pros and cons:
pros:
- the romance is so so cute, there's mainly 3 couples and their interactions r the funniest
- personally i loved li qingtong and wu zhixun's romance the best, i felt like they had more dynamic compared to li jingbu and duan xiaos maybe it's cause i knew li jingbu wasn't there to stay
- if you love youth school dramas following a group of friends then this is your drama
- the acting was perfect, i felt as if i was in their little friend group
- i appreciated just the idea of li jingbu going back to realize how her mom grew up and her hardships
- loved how the girls were strong and stood up for themselves and each other
- focus on li qingtong's family was the best, i loved their interactions with each other
- cinematography was outstanding, the northwest region in china they filmed at was so beautiful but looked so cold

cons:
- the ending, how could they . . . im so dissapointed
- i know cdramas are known for their open endings but i really hoped we could have gotten some more conclusion from the couples
- when i rooted for 3 couples and none of them ended together
- i know a lot of people liked chen junhe but i honestly found him kinda annoying until just the last 2 ep
- i needed more wu zhixun in general, idek if he is a ML cause he's li qingtongs love interest but he never really got much screentime
- i liked their high school scenes a lot better than the college story but ig that's the only way we got up to li jingbu being born
overall a highly recommended watch !!
