My Cheeks Hurt From Smiling BECAUSE THIS DRAMA IS ADORABLE!

Okay so I didn’t know this drama existed. I got a Viki notification recommending this drama and at first I was going to pass on it because the premise didn’t jump out at me. But, I’m so glad I gave it a chance. It’s SOOOO FREAKING ADORABLE. It’s very classic in a comforting way. I’m not quite sure how to explain what I mean but I will give it a go. You have this popular, rich, and handsome high schooler who is surrounded by so many people but despite that he is lonely. All he wants is to be loved SOB! He reaches a low point and his carefully crafted composure breaks. As expected in dramas, it is in this moment he falls into the arms of this cute and dorky classmate he locks eyes with who trades his glasses for eyeliner when he becomes this charismatic, caring, and super baddie singer at night. Ah….yes….very ridiculous and dramatic but I freaking love it. So yes bring on all the tropes!!!! This is what I needed right now. Super fluffy! The music in this is excellent. I’ve been listening to it on repeat. I love that we have another character who is seemingly gender fluid in this drama. It is implied that his boyfriend buys and expects him to wear feminine clothes and I assume that he agrees to it because he enjoys it. We’ll see as more episodes come out. I know it’s only 2 episodes so far but I love it so far! It’s just cute and it makes me happy.

Update: I just finished watching episodes 3 and 4 and I cannot stop smiling!!!!! My gosh this drama is soooooo sweet and cute. The two leads play these characters soo perfectly. They are so pure and I love that they find a bit of happiness in each other even when the world around them is so set on pushing them down. Even the supporting characters are great. You briefly get introduced to Xu Qi Zhang’s friends and in the mere seconds they are on camera you know their personalities instantly and you can feel how much love and support they have for each other. I’m obsessed!!!! This is quickly becoming a favorite of mine and I eagerly await each week for new episodes. I’m sad that it’ll be soo short as we are already halfway through the series.

Final Update: So I absolutely adored the final episodes. But, the series was way too short. If I didn’t already know that there were only 8 episodes, I would’ve assumed I had to wait for more to come out next week with how it ended. At the same time it stopped at a point where I’m not mad at it. It was a sweet and optimistic close to the series with ample amount of room for more if that ever happens. I hope this series gets more attention so that the actors come back to do a second season, because it really needs more time and deservedly so. It was nice to watch a drama that portrayed healthy relationships and not just romantic but this includes friendships and especially the relationship between Xu Qi Zhang and his mom. The most memorable scene to me in the entire series is that scene in the rain with Xu Qi Zhang and Ye Guang. Words were tossed around. They are both hurting. But Xu Qi Zhang responds with a hug despite how hurt he is. Its memorable to me because in any other BL, I could easily see an argument in a moment like this with characters refusing to talk to each other. But nope that doesn’t happen here. The instantaneous regret and hurt is apparent and they first respond by comforting each other because that’s what they really need at that moment. They wait till they are calm and settled and then oh my gosh they talk lol. The level of maturity and the amount of patience argh!!!! Sooo good!!! These two characters have my heart!!!! Did I mention how many times I could not stop smiling watching this drama?
