ok guys this is literally the first drama i am ever writing a review for like no joke i literally created this account FOR THIS PURPOSE. because i had to. that's how good this drama was. no toxic relationship, no massive misunderstandings, filled with emotions and meaning (not just romance in terms of how they stood by each other till the end, but also friendships and other very important life stories which you don't usually see in other dramas). the cast was SPECTACULAR, not just in terms of visuals but also the acting was amazing... which totally wasn't what i was expecting - i have never seen either of them act before. I LOOOOOOOVE how their relationship takes off after they got together, unlike other dramas whereby it gets suuuuper boring after the leads get together smh. the side plots... 10/10 as well. music was very fitting. plot was not spectacular, but execution was ON POINT. people compare it to love o2o and i agree because it's 90% fluff, and even the sad parts have important takeaways. the leads never let anyone else determine their relationship, not the sickening qinyue or shiying, or even xia linxi's obsessive roommate. my favourite character would have to be zhang huaiwu, i kept replaying his parts so many times HAHA he's such a goofball. overall, if you're hesitating, i say you should definitely check this drama out... so underrated, wow. my favourite cdrama ever since love o2o. big props to the cast, directors and writers - thank you so much for this masterpiece!

(oh if i had to nitpick, the ending could be a littleeeeee less abrupt... you know, the event at the last few minutes of the show i feel wasn't SUPER necessary)
