I finally found the drama which put me out of my C-Drama slump. Lately I had been having a hard time watching C Dramas. I would watch the 1st couple of episodes and then find it too boring to continue watching. The plot or the characters would bother me and I would end up dropping it. This drama was a breath of fresh air- it kept my attention from start to finish.
This drama is an extremely sweet love story ( as you might have already guessed from the title). The main leads are adorable and sweet and caring towards each other and their love is so pure and innocent. You'll be rooting for them as they pass hurdles together, supporting and loving each other.
If i talk about the story, it starts in the senior year of high school. Xia Lin Xi is a star student and JZH is the last ranking in class. That is not to say he is stupid, in fact, he is a computer genius who doesn't care about school or grades, until he meets Lin Xi. Lin Xi helps him out when he is struggling with his family's financial issues and a bond forms between them, blossoming into romance as they transition into University. Once they got together, there was literally no force which could keep them apart. No matter the amount of hurdles , they stuck together through thick and thin and it was heart-warming to watch. Their chemistry was so good, it felt so realistic. The acting was superb. my only complaint is that there weren't as much kissing scenes as I would like. However there were literally so many swoonworthy moments of our main leads that I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
The male lead really stole my heart. Even the female lead was intelligent and she wasn't portrayed as a damsel in distress who couldn't stand up for herself( thank god, those plot lines get too cliched).
What I really liked about these two was that there were almost no misunderstandings between them, everything was resolved quite quickly. There was this plotline in which JZH leaves without telling Linxi for a few months in high school. After that, there were a few episodes in which she is unable to forgive him. That was really painful to watch. While her anger at him was justified, I just wished it would get resolved asap.
The secondary leads had a much rocky story, they got together much later. Initially Chen Yi Chuan, Lin Xi's cousin is quite annoying but he matures and becomes nicer in the end. There are number of side characters which keep the story interesting. Some of them are annoying like Lin Xi's mom, but I didn't really mind, because I was so invested in the main leads story.
Overall, this is a a really wholesome love story. I loved the snippets from their wedding in the starting of the 1st couple of episodes, they were really cute.
I would totally recommend this drama to anyone who wants to watch a feel-good romance. It is cute and heart-warming and a must watch for romance fans. I really loved it and would be watching its clips on Youtube to fill the void left by it lol.
