A River Runs Through It (2021)

Currently my favorite C-Drama

The story when they were still school student until they became an adults is amazing. The story is very natural and the scenes are all what we experience in life.

Personally, I do not feel like the ending is rushed or dissapointed with how the story ends. I think this kind of story does happened in real life. It just shows how strong the love that the characters had.

In the novel, it is from FL pov and I think its nice. We don't need to know the ML's pov to enjoy the show.

The first time I feel attached to this drama is from the OSTs. At first I was only enjoying the story and feel relate to them but the OST makes me feel very attached and have strong sympathy with the characters. The OST start playing in the college part and I feel like I am their own best friend. Everytime the OTS played, I almost always cried because the of nostalgic feeling. Although I don't understand the lyrics, but I love it all.

I have read the novel and the story is quite different. This drama contains more events than the novel. In the novel, the ending is not really shown. Its an open ending but we know that finally the FL likes the ML.

A STORY THAT MAKES YOU WAIT BUT IS WORTH THE WAIT

NOTE: I can only recommend this drama to those who like genres' like romance and youth. Plus, if you can also keep up with a slow drama (What I mean about what is slow is the formation of the love between the leads)

Some chinese dramas with the same genre (Romance & Youth) that I have watched was overpassed by this drama, A River Runs Through It. Why?

FIRST THE PLOT/STORY:
As what other romance dramas deliver, it has the same aspects such as falling in love, getting hurt, and forming friendships of a lifetime. Though this drama placed a long journey until both leads gets together— it was still worth the wait and the enjoyment and emotion it brought all throughout made me continue until the end. Also it is quite realistic compared to other dramas— it somehow shows what falling in love is like and the feeling of not knowing how to let go of something and move on like liking someone.

SECOND THE ACTING/CAST:
Everyone suited their roles, and played them very well, very well that you'll end up feeling their emotions and hating some of them. The actors of this drama was very good.

THIRD THE MUSIC:
I didn't really care about the OST when I was watching it since I just skip pass through the intro and outro as well. But I guess it isn't something that I would add in my playlist. But everyone has different tastes, right?

FOURTH THE REWATCH VALUE:
I wouldn't probably rewatch this since I have plenty of other dramas to watch. But if I can, I would probably watch it again. It would somehow be something fresh to rewatch.

LASTLY THE OVERALL:
I rated it a 9.5 since I think it deserves it. I love the story and actors of this drama. It made me somehow cry out of nowhere, but I wouldn't probably miss it much. Thank you to this drama that gave me something fresh to spend my time with. A worthy drama— I can say.

Nice school drama

Very nice drama to watch.. My second cdrama to watch.. I watched this after watching professional single.. This drama similar to that but slight difference between them.. I like the way of acting of hero and heroine in this drama.. they are acting in a natural way... Carrying the drama through a real one..



A good suggestion to see... Nice drama


I saw this one after already watching a school drama... This tells us about good friendship, relationship and kindness.. The school dramas I suggest you to watch are A river runs through it and Professional single... They both are good in their story cast and acting... The heroine and hero of the both dramas are so cute and lovely... The heroes are handsome... They both has a perfect one and cute couples... Qin Shen ❤️ Yuan Qian
Lu shi yi ❤️ Xia Xiao Ju

I originally watch this one for Wang Ruichang, but in the end, even Ruichang cannot save this drama.
Honestly, this drama is not bad. The story is solid, the characters are lively and the relationships between each character is pretty good, but I think I really am too old to be able to resonate with the FL.

The FL, Xia Xiaoju is your embodiment of teenage girl in CDramas. New girl, timid, not a bright student but tries hard to study well, strong determination, clumsy, low self esteem, etc. For some dramas, this is not an issue, like LCDF, there it was fine, but I don't know what's different with ARRTI, I just could not find myself to care for her character, for me she fits for a side character instead of a FL. Even more I could not stand Cheng Lang and Lu Shiyi, two of the strongest characters in this drama, only being painted as 'love interests'. Maybe it's because it's only the beginning, I don't know either, but I don't think I can watch any longer to find out.

Actually, I do find similarities between this drama and Reply 1988, but the feeling is somehow different. Maybe it will be better if Xiaoju is the one getting on that train instead of Baobao, and we get to see her struggle for a bit by herself. By then maybe we will see why this FL is the lead and not a side. Maybe someday I will find this drama again by accident and decide to re-watch it again and eventually came to like it. I don't know.
