This drama was beautiful. Light. Funny. Touching. 100% enjoyable.

The characters are all extremely likeable yet all unlikeable at one point or another, which makes you root for them yet at the same time makes them feel believable. The story is a slow burn, and while it does start out cliche, it grows into more than a drama. You're left with a feeling that you're there, going through the high school years with Chen Xiao Xi, Jiang Chen, Lin Jing Xiao, Lu Yang and Wu Bo Song. The main characters are different, interesting, full bodied and well rounded, the events in each episode are enjoyable to watch, not just as something pushing us towards the end, but as enjoyable in themselves. The characters and their world grow on you, they come to life and are bursting full with energy.

While this drama is light and very family friendly, at no point did I feel my intelligence was insulted. It explores many complex feelings, different relationships and issues we may face at school, in relationships and in life. Their pain, embarrassment, shame, pride, loss, joy, free spiritedness can be seen.

I cried in several episodes and laughed out loud in almost every one. I have rewatched several episodes and scenes already.

As someone who went to high school between 2006-2009 (albeit on a completely different continent) this was so nostalgic for me.

Definitely one of the best dramas I have ever watched. This drama is a "keeper." I'll watch it again and again.
