I was emotionally invested in the push and pull of this show. The way the pairs have so many gazillion ways of being romantic is creative and unique. Even though in my mind I don’t like school dramas – I’ve always enjoyed the chemistry of them and the way the relationship is built on friendship and shared experiences within a group setting. The friends are so comfortable with each other, it’s great. They are individual friends as well as a group of friends. The little scenes at the end of each episode is also gold.

The second half of the show, is a little more angsty. The last few episodes really pack a punch of emotion and story telling. I loved how convincing it was that the characters were really older.

Xiaoxi – Female lead
Xiaoxi is the standard ditsy but there’s something about her that is likeable and funny compared to a lot of Chinese heroines that are whiny and immature.

I like that she is fearless when it comes to standing up for her friends.

Xiaoxi is obsessed with Jiang Chen and he mainly holds her at arm’s length but does throw her a few bones here and there that make her giddy with happiness.
But the relationship is kind of sarcastic too so it’s fun.

I liked seeing Xiaoxi grow up.

“I’m not a young girl anymore so I don’t want to show my excessive passion to such a cold person.”

JiaoXing

“You’re my buddy indeed. You never drop away at critical moments.”

I liked Jiaoxing for being beautiful, smart and fierce. We need at least one main female lead to be smart!

Jiaoxing: Make a phone call
Lu Yang: What?
Jiaoxing: Call.
Lu Yang: To whom?
Jiaoxing: Jiang Chen or Wu Bosong. Call them to see her.

Jiang Chen
To start with, Jiang Chen is not too stiff – which I appreciate. He can smile and act like a normal student. He also has a hilarious WTF facial expression when something weird happens which is often. He also happily cares for Xiaoxi and thinks she’s adorable. They are part of the same circle of friends which kind of makes her obsession of him a bit strange.
His relationship with his brother is super cute. His brother is tiny and Jiang Chen treats him just like a peer. His honest conversations about Xiaoxi in the form of dog analogies cracked me up. He is quite petty when it comes to sharing Xiaoxi’s affection with anyone else. Despite his indifference he’s possessive of her.

“Watch the car.” - [pulls on Xiaoxi away from Wu Bosong]
“Where is the car?”

I suppose he likes her attention but he doesn’t know how to handle her and he takes it for granted. The first time that Xiaoxi ignores him he’s so surprised he calls out after her.
He definitely does things just to annoy her but then there are also times that he is genuinely concerned about her and wants to make her feel better. Just when you think they are moments of slight consideration, there comes a situation where there is no reason that Jiang Chen should do something and he does it. I loved how the show demonstrated for us Jiang Chen’s instincts to bring about Xiaoxi’s happiness. It’s also fun to see how affected Jiang Chen is when it comes to Xiaoxi the way his eyes widen when he realises how he’s reacting.

“You won’t go? For Xiaoxi?”
“I want to be a doctor, and also be with her.”

Romance

“Will you write in my graduation album?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Only people apart from each other do that.”

I find it a really interesting dynamic the way Xiaoxi idolises Jiang Chen but is also so comfortable with hanging out with him.
I like that while there are plenty of times that Xiaoxi is sneakily spying on Jiang Chen there are plenty of times when he’s doing it too.
Xiaoxi isn’t afraid to show her ugly side to Jiang Chen as well.

As the story moves along you can see Jiang Chen gets a few surprises when Xiaoxi has moments of not really caring about him. Those moments are GREAT fun.

“Then does the smell of anti-mosquito water and essential balm turn you on?”

Jiang Chen very rarely smiles with his teeth but when he does he’s smiling at Xiaoxi. He also never raises his voice unless it’s shouting her name.

“Everyone thinks that Chen Xiaoxi loves me more.”

One of my favourite lines.

Swimmer Guy

“Xiaoxi, can you see me? I’m always here.”

Sorry, this actor was not handsome enough for me.

“But, as you know, I will be extremely insecure when I see him.”
