When I first added this drama to my "to watch" list, I thought this was going to be about a rich girl, Lin Xing Chen, being obsessed with this boy, Zheng Chu Ya, where she follows him and enrolls in university to be closer to him, but during their first meeting, she mistakes someone else, Jiang Nian Yu, for the guy she has been following. Once she finds out that she has made a mistake, she befriends this man who agrees to help her win over main guy’s heart, but in the process they fall in love. Instead, we got a drama that reminded me so much of Meteor Garden/Boys Over Flowers, which is funny because they reference this drama multiple times throughout when they would step out a situation and be like...yo...this is straight out of MG. And I completely agree. It almost seemed like everyone was a mix of characters. Such as I thought that Yu Yang Yang, who had a very similar story of how Dong Shan Cai (MG) got into university (and I love how Lin Xing Chen called her out on that too), reminded me of Dong Shan Cai from MG how people loved her for no really good reason and how she didn't stick up for herself/had no sense of self-worth. It almost seemed like this drama was a fan fiction version of MG except Dong Shan Cai isn't the lead and actually turns out to be kind of a bully who once again has no concept of the real world even though I feel like she would be the person out of everyone else who would. Not a huge fan of her character especially when the two mains, Jiang Nian Yu and Zheng Chu Ya, treated her like a brand new puppy whereas the same with Dong Shan Cai, I was confused why everyone loved her as a person. Home girl said and did some shady stuff to Lin Xing Chen and everyone kind of just ignored it like this was a normal thing. As for Jiang and Zheng, I saw a lot of Dao Ming Si and Hua Ze Lei in them. As like Dao Ming Si, Zheng comes from a wealthy family and had a loud personality who is used to getting what he wants, which in the beginning is our Shan Cai, Yang Yang. But also like MG, Yang Yang isn’t in love with Zheng, but is in love with Jiang who I thought seemed like Hua Ze Lei. Like Lei, Jiang is very soft and loving and is a musical genius. Except for in this drama, the whole atmosphere and setting really brought out the best of Jiang where he was this humble music genius who wanted to use his powers to help others rather than himself. Don’t get me wrong, I was surprised that I actually enjoyed both Zheng and Jiang’s characters. I knew who was going to end up with Lin Xing Chen at the end, but I felt sad for the other guy because he genuinely cared about Lin Xing Chen, but had a very Dao Ming Si way of showing it. A beginning of MG, I want her so she is mine and no one else can have her. Except, I felt like these two characters were a lot more likable than any MG or BoF love interests even though they both got me mad a few times because they keep misunderstanding situations. I have also thought about this while writing this. Originally, I thought Lin Xing Chen was a new character in this universe, but now thinking about it, here are my thoughts. Zheng (Dao Ming Si) likes Yang Yang (Shan Cai), but Yang Yang likes Jiang (Lei). But Jiang doesn’t like Yang Yang, he likes Lin Xing Chen (Teng Tang Jing). Lin Xing Chen reminds me of Teng Tang Jing because he is smart capable woman who knows she is capable and not afraid to prove her worth, but because of this, she doesn’t think much of how other people will be affected by her actions. Maybe MG follows a very generic drama outline and I am just overthinking this, but I literally thought that this show was fan fiction of MG, BUT following Lei and Teng Tang Jing’s complicated love as well as if Dao Ming Si realized Shan Cai had nothing to offer and went after Teng Tang Jing as well as had an arranged marriage.
