A true high school drama about friendship, secret crushes, so much held feelings, jealousy and making up. It was beautiful. Pretty realistic too! I thought our FL might get a make over when she grows up or something like most dramas but I'm proud they let her be the same 🥺 she looks so cute still and it feels more realistic as well like that after all one doesn't change that drastically in mere years in most cases. I'm just a little sad they ended it like that they never got to confess to each other they both just knew. Yan ze at the end when asked abt he Xin Liang she was like "we broke up" which meant they did date but ended it? The reason is prolly him going to USA but I don't get why it's always that put as a reason when at the time long distant was a thing at least we needed an explanation I don't like to be kept guessing it feels like there's a gap in the story 😩 coming of age genre writers in every story be like "let's have one of the leads leave to a faraway place and both of them seperated then meet after some years" as if Internet and long distant relationships are a joke to them 🙄. Another complaint of mine is that both ji xiao and Xi yi were too rigid at times it felt a bit unnatural tho I understand it's how model student is seen but uh it's a bit too much tho I'm glad they made them later be more human. The story had sooo much jealousy and envy between girls while the guys were just "let's compete" pushing each other then "hey I gave up" hands over the FL peacefully. While the girls were more uh vicious? I mean it is a truth but stilllll too much 😂altho friendship prevailed at last yet they could've made at least one good friend or smthg I felt it was too dramatic at some point but it's okay as well it's tolerable. In conclusion it's a good story does make sense and is a good light watch. Actors did a great job especially our xiao ding and FL (I know her from a river runs through it) she was great here 🥺 they really represented their characters very well! I loved the supporting chars as welll they were all so cute and as a teacher myself I felt like they were my own students 😂 it also made me nostalgic abt my high school days 🥹. Well done!
