OVERRATED

Okay so i watched this show very late and completed it in just 2 days bec i mostly skipped through everything.
This show is way overrated. It wasn't fun to watch at all.
Definitely the actors did an amazing job but the plot was lacking in every way.

Nothing unique nothing extraordinary just the typical childish cdrama plot of gradually falling in love and fulfilling your dreams alongside your friends.
The 2nd male lead character seemed better than the lead character which made things worse.
AND the 2 side character couple was so toxic so annoying to watch. They could've been such a cute couple but the writers made them a toxic one.

It’s great drama!

I really liked this drama! The plot twist, the acting… They were perfect! Although I didn’t hear much music, it still doesn’t change the fact that this is great! FL and ML executed their roles really well, support roles too! They broke up TWICE! Made me really sad but they got back together! The amount of times MianMian and XieAng broke up idk how many times… Made it really fun somehow… Ji JunXing replacing XieAng to meet MianMian and LinXi replacing MianMian to meet XieAng, Ji JunXing and LinXi almost got into a fight and destroyed their relationship. Highly recommended!

Dang...it was a pretty good run until...

I picked this drama up randomly since I saw it on Youtube and just wanted something nice, sweet, and easygoing. After just a brief look at the reviews, I decided to take a chance on it. From what I saw, everyone said this was such a good, underrated drama and the only reason why it wasn't popular was because of a lesser known cast. So I was all for it and I was really enjoying the episodes honestly. Some of it didn't really make sense but I didn't mind, as long as our little group was having their enjoyable, happy high school days. This drama reminded me a lot of When I Fly Towards You, which I loved so much and so I was very much enjoying this drama as well. That is, until now when I decided to write this review. We'll see how the rest of this drama goes but I reached the point of the drama where Lin Xi is being held back a year because randomly, her father got injured from the people from the car accident. I have a huge issue with this and it just feels so unnecessary for this to happen. I'm not sure why they decided to go this route but I hope it makes sense when I continue watching. If they were going to go this route, I feel like they should have fleshed out the accident story a lot of more and hinted to these troubles prior to doing this. So as of now, I have a bad taste in my mouth from this drama and hence the 7/10 score since I was thoroughly enjoying it before. We'll see if it gets better but I don't have high hopes. Also it's episode 17/25 and our main couple is STILL not together? It's giving draggy at this point. Anyways, I'll be back after I finish this drama, if I finish this drama. Bye for now!

UPDATE (beware of spoilers):
I finally finished watching and man, those last 9 episodes were honestly a struggle to get through, even if I was 2x speeding most of the way through. I feel like after they graduated high school, it went downhill. The misunderstandings were dumb, I really hated seeing the second couple and felt like it dragged on way too long, and even though I loved Qin Kai, I can't believe they kept the useless love triangle go on for so long. Honestly, I almost would've preferred to see our FL together with Qin Kai, I feel like their love story had more connection than our main couple. Yeah so overall, I'm quite disappointed and I'm glad I'm done so I can move on to another drama.

UPDATE 2:
OMG. BUT. I did forget to add that I love that this drama decided to sneak some subtle LGBTQ themes in there. Our couple is so cute and even though, it wasn't fully confirmed, I think we all know what really happened. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see it develop completely but the insinuation is there. Hopefully this has a snowball effect for future dramas.

One of the best youth drama!

This one easily became one of my favorites. I like all the characters, especially the main leads. The build-up to the romance of the main leads is so good because it was slow-burn and more realistic compared to other youth dramas. This is your typical friends-to-lovers trope but I found myself getting diabetes from their interactions because their chemistry is just SO GOOD. Plusss they are all so good-looking.

If I were to pick a favorite character, it would definitely be Ji Jun Xing (male lead). Because not only is he a very good friend, he also is very loyal to the female lead. She fell first, but he fell harder haha. He definitely set the bar so high when it comes to being the ideal boyfriend because he has the personality of a golden retriever. The female lead is also not your typical dumb girl like most youth dramas portray. Finally, a very strong-willed, kind, and smart female lead. She loves her family so much. I cried for her when she wasn't able to get into college the same day with her friends and has to stay behind to repeat a year. She is so strong because if it were me, I would be so devastated. No wonder the male lead fell for her.

I like how the plot progresses where the setting started in highschool, and then proceeded to college and then workplace setting. It gives you this sense of anticipation to every episode. I gave a 9.5 for the story because there were some inconsistencies in the plot like how the male lead's passion for computer programming wasn't highlighted more. Part of the plot was when he rejected the offer to be in business school to be a computer programmer. But in the end, he ended up starting a business. There were also some misunderstandings on the way, and although I'm a bit annoyed with it, I just brush it off because I would probably react worse if I were in the same position haha. Good thing it didn't drag for too long and we got a very happy and satisfying ending.

These were just minor things to point out if I were to go on the technical side. However, overall this drama is definitely a 10/10!!! I still watch the clips from my favorite scenes because it's hard to find another gem like this, and I'm so sad I've finished watching it.

almost missed a gem

I'm not gonna lie I initially couldn't watch past the first episode BUT... two days ago I decided to try again and oh my goodness did I almost miss out on a GEM. Binged the entire show in two days one of the best modern youth dramas to exist, it is at level with when I fly towards you. I rarely give modern cdramas a 10/10 so this being one of the 10s means it's truly worth a watch. The show through and through had basically no dull moments. The entire show is so sweet, youthful, and joy-inducing. Both the ML and FL (this is kinda random) have really satisfying voices they are legit a match made in heaven. I loveeee this show so much. HIGHLY recommend you definitely won't regret it. And I have extremely high standards for my cdramas so this is a must-watch.

Bom início, final decepcionante

Estou escrevendo essa resenha pros meus amigos brasileiros, já que a maioria das reviews aqui estão em inglês.
Eu estava bem empolgada no início porque achei que ia ter a mesma vibe de When I Fly Towards You (Quando Voo em sua direção) que é um dos meus doramas preferidos e tem muito sucesso em executar bem esse estilo de plot. Contudo, nesse drama aqui o final foi decepcionante por conta do roteiro que tentou a todo custo emburrecer os personagens.
Sobre o plot: A protagonista vai atrás do nosso protagonista por pensar que ele tinha recebido o transplante do coração do seu irmão. Por conta disso, desde o início ela insistiu em fazer amizade com ele, que se apresentou relutante por conta da estranheza da situação, mas pouco a pouco foi se encantando por ela.
Primeiramente: O casal principal é muito fofo, isso não posso negar. A química deles é muito boa e é bem perceptível que eles são "almas gêmeas".
Segundamente: Ambos os protagonistas são muito gostáveis. O Ji Jun Xing é simplesmente maravilhoso do início ao fim. Quanto à Lin Xi, se apresentou como uma personagem muito doce e madura, porém os roteiristas, em determinado momento mais pro fim do drama, começaram a fazer ela tomar decisões estúpidas e totalmente fora do estilo da personagem.
No geral: O casal demora muitoooo pra ficar junto. Sendo 25 episódios, se prepare pra eles só assumirem um relacionamento lá pelo episódio 20. Isso se torna muito frustrante já lá no meio da série porque é extremamente óbvio que eles se gostam e o arco do relacionamento à distância não fez sentido nenhum com todos aqueles mal entendidos.
Os personagens também tem um grupo de amigos que no início era okay, mas que ao longo da série foi ficando mais e mais insuportável ao ponto de eu não aguentar mais. A série tenta retratar a amizade deles como sendo inseparável e "wholesome" mas falha miseravelmente, principalmente ao se tratar do casal secundário que é extremamente irritante e exala relacionamento tóxico.
Apesar de não ter sido um drama dos mais longos, é cheio de enredos desnecessários. A única coisa que me fez assistir até o fim foi o tempo de tela dos protagonistas que eram um casal simplesmente adorável (e mesmo assim faltou tempo pra eles).
Minha conclusão é: não é muito ruim nem muito bom - é mediano.

Could have been shorter

This was a great high school drama, like the ones that made you feel like you wanted to be in high school again. I love the friendships in this story, it made the show enjoyable and easy to watch. There was a second male lead, but he wasn't annoying. The leads had a healthy relationship, and the friendships in this story were just the icing on the cake. And in the end, I really did for the characters, but that being said I did not like the structure of the show.
I personally like stories that have a plot throughout the show and the conflict is presented midpoint and so on. But in this show, they resolved the main conflict of the show at the midpoint of the series. And after that, it just felt like a bunch of filler episodes. I think this series would have been better if was about 12 to 18 episodes long. I thought it was too long, not to say that it dragged, but you could tell the writer was just adding things in to fit the episode requirement. It was still a good show, but it had a bunch of subplots, which I can't say I enjoyed too much. About every 6 episodes or so was a different subplot, if you enjoy shows like these you'll probably like this one. But I prefer a show with continuity rather than a series that is broken up. It felt like a compilation of high school stories, which is not a bad thing it is just not for me.
I will say after a while I lost interest in the main couple and started liking the second couple and the boy best friends better. The only regret I have with this show is that they did not expand on the storyline of the boy best friends. I know this is due to censorship laws in China, but their story could have been great.
Overall if you want to watch a few stories of high school figuring it out while laughing along the way, this would be the series for you.
