I do want to put a disclaimer that you should probably watch the drama if you're that interested to form your own opinion. This is simply mine.
*I was upset with the lack of quality as I noticed many errors throughout the drama itself. However, I do think its reasonable since it wasn't an extremely funded project (at least to my knowledge).*
To begin with, the story revolves around a lonely girl named Luo Zhi. LZ isn't really the most popular, but she begins to form a mysterious bond with a boy from her grade. Insert our other main lead, Sheng Huainan. He's highly liked by his classmates and is intrigued when he unknowingly meets LZ. Through this encounter, their entangled story begins and continues onto their college days. The drama follows their story more as they're in college, but it does reference their interactions during high school a lot and it supports the somewhat okay plot. I can't completely say that this plot was the best, but I've surely seen worse. It was more of the story that kept me going on this drama. LZ, as a girl who has liked a guy for so long, continues to face the highs and lows of it. More than that, she grows as a person who becomes independent yet still attached to her roots. Her story was the more satisfying parts of this drama as it shows a development in her for sure, but I still felt that the ending could've been more realistic in some sense. I'll discuss that later on. SH, a boy who goes from having it all to finally realizing the one thing he never knew he had is a character that is certainly complex but also flat in a way for me. His development is more of a plateau but it does have its spikes throughout the drama. I'm using plot as the direction of whoever directed / wrote the drama and story as the actual character's experience as the two seem different in comparison. Plot wise, it was lacking and stretched at most points but it wasn't entirely boring either. I think if you get invested into the characters, the plot can be forgiven slightly.
I think the chemistry was cute once it got going. Overall, I think LZ was SH were portrayed nicely but I do think the acting itself could've been better at some points. These are mostly the scenes were the tension is being built but it falls through due to dialogue / other reasons. I do like the cast overall since they fit the college look much more than if this story was in high school. The kissing was awkward but I do commend them for having a decent one at least once throughout the drama.
Music was nice, nothing too boring. It was replayed a lot though I guess due to the lack of a big soundtrack since I started to memorize the progression of certain background music. I did like the opening song as it was definitely my style for Chinese dramas to have as an OST. As for re watching, I would only focus on the main episodes where main story points are included. I wouldn't watch the whole thing over.
The best point of this drama is the story of Luo Zhi to me. It showed vulnerability and strength in her story and I liked it the most out of the drama's key points.
This has been Unrequited Love.
