I really enjoy these youth dramas, especially when they show the progression of their youth from high school to university to adult life. This probably isn't my most favorite youth drama but it was still a very cute and sweet drama. The drama perfectly captured the innocence of high school, where their most stressful problems ranged from their exams, friendships, and family issues. Then we moved onto university and we can see that things become more serious and problems are harder to resolve. I would've loved to see more of their life after university, but unfortunately, the drama ended too soon.
Initially, I really enjoyed watching high school days and when they got to university. I started to get really frustrated with all the problems that arose. I was especially frustrated with Ding Xian. I wanted her to choose her own path instead of continually following Zhou Si Yue. However, later I realized, this is consistent with her character. All she has done was follow Si Yue and didn't know how to do anything else. So when she finally decided to chase after her passion, I enjoyed watching her character develop into an independent woman capable of making her own choices. Zhou Si Yue was definitely my favorite, Chen Zhe Yuan did an amazing job portraying Si Yue and my heart hurt for him when he was in university, nearly on the verge of tears when it came to Ding Xian.
Su Bo Cong was also a little treat to see too whenever he came on screen. I absolutely loved seeing Zhou Si Yue and Su Bo Cong fighting over Ding Xian. The scene where they both got the exact drink for Ding Xian was hilarious! However, I did think the writers did him dirty. I feel like he merely served his purpose as a stepping stone for our main couple. a person to make Si Yue jealous. But all in all, I'm glad Bo Cong and Ding Xian were able to patch things up in the end and that the two men were able to come to an understanding. I liked that the show gave Bo Cong a dignified ending.
As for the side couples, I always love when they tie things up nicely but it would've nice to see more of Jiang Chen and Keke's relationship develop.
All in all, I pleasantly enjoyed this drama, and I might come back to re-watch this drama if I'm in the mood for a short and sweet youth drama.
