This is my first c-drama, and there's no lie that I'm watching it to support Junhui's comeback as an actor cause I'm a carat, also I haven't read the novel. But as I progress on watching the episodes, I fell more in love with the rest of the characters and got more and more invested in not only our main couple, but also other characters story and development. The casts have great chemistry with each other and their acting flows naturally that I even momentarily forgot how Junhui usually acts😆

It has a great portion ratio of friendship and romance, so it's all balanced. It has several cringy common romcom scenes but I promise they're not out of place, in fact I kinda like that they're there and highlight the cheesy childhood best friends to lovers trope best. It shows friendships that lasts, how they're loyal to each other, how they resolve fight and misunderstanding, how they learn from each other and I like how half of them became couples but it actually didn't interfere negatively with the friendship. There are many great character developments, and regrettably to me, some unresolved plots.

Overall, this is a really good light drama to watch for comfort, as it doesn't really have heavy plot but has great moral value and is enjoyable to accompany your meals. I'm actually hoping for a sequel or spin offs to resolve other subplots that hasn't been resolved or progress more, like Xu Linglong, Yin Zihan, Siwen-Juanjuan, and Wenyu-Xinlan's stories because they actually felt more than just supports to me so I hope there will be more production with these characters and casts💖
