Not perfect but the Best Version for me.

To begin with. I've watched all Versions except to the Korea's because for me it was too violent.
Disclaimer : I am not a professional when it comes to acting but i wrote what i notice and felt.

Plot- Knowing the classical story where a poor girl transfers to a prestigious school and it was ruled by 4 handsome and wealthy men , It has a different flavor and story line. They didn't make Shan Cai suffered too much unlike the other versions which they will make you out to the campus and transfer. ( it was probably because of the China's censorship for the viewers.)

The F4 here is different. Though they were still bullies but unlike to the others , they still studies and and attend classes. They were gentle men and quite soft with women.

Episodes- At first i was like , 50 episodes? are you kidding me? it has a long duration and many many episodes.
The beginning was quite rushed and the middle part was quite gradually. You see , they met at the first episode , she was bullied at the first episode and she revenged at the first episode.
I think the Love triangle between Mei Zuo and Cai Na was unnecessary. I understand that they want to give the characters and artists a exposure but to be honest it drags the viewers.

Casts- The casting was perfect. What makes these unique is that Dylan and Shen Yue has undeniable and overflowing chemistry. On and off cam they were like a real couple.
Though the whole casting was perfect too. They used fresh and young visuals. Even Dee Hsu was perfect as Dao ming Zhuang. In this version , though you will get hooked by Lei but since the beginning you know that Ah si is perfect for shan cai.

Acting:
Shen Yue- I have already an idea about Shen Yue's acting skill ( because of A love so beautiful. ) She is totally a great actress. Her eyes tells stories and full emotion. Overall , effortless. Amazing!

Dylan's - It was didi's first project. He had no background nor experience in acting in front of the camera. Sometimes it was hard for him to release his emotions and tears. But what i love about this is he himself is a Dao ming Si. He gives a playful, arrogant yet faithful boyfriend. It is obvious that there are still room for improvement but overall it is impressive.

Other Casts: For Caesar and Connor , sometimes it was like awkward and felt like they will laugh. It is a bit stiff and not confusing. Yet there is still needs to be improved.

For Darren: Like the other versions , he has this innocent and gentle looking which helps him to portray an introvert and quite character. It was acceptable.

Music/Ost- It has a perfect and suitable music. Every seen has a music that really fits into the scenario. Like if its an intense scene , the 'River" Ost will be played. Also they gave chance to F4 to showcase their talents. I love their voices especially Caesar's voice. It is soothing and relaxing. I also love the fact that they used the iconic "Qing fei de yi" and "Ni yao de ai".
But The song For You is iconic too.

Overall: This was one of the first cdramas i have watched and the reason why i enter the cdrama wolrd. It is the most faithful version. We witnessed the ups and downs of the couple yet they remain faithful and fight for their love. One factor that i love is the DyShen couple. It was absolutely perfect. They also takcled the friendship.

Highly recommended! you will definitely love the leads.
