this is such an inspiring and touching drama that touches several aspect of life, relationship, loyalty, perseverance . frustrations of most teenagers growing up in China trying to pass and get selected to the fine universities of their dreams, the over whelming stress they have, lasting friendships etc. it also reminded us that no matter how tough life is , as long as you have people around you to encourage you when you failed, to have people to be there to support you when you are down, someone to fight for you when you feel helpless, loving parents to be there for you, sacrifice of parents to enable their kids to be successful in education to prepare them for their future, etc. It really takes a whole village to raise a kid to be successful in life. I watched this drama many times because it is that good. Seven Tan as usual delivers and make this so believable. She had shown how good she is portraying as young teenager in high school all the way to a professional photographer. There are so many crying scenes in these drama and you really feel for her frustration, love, sadness, desperation, etc. I never get tired of watching her as she is so natural. All the three main leads did such a great job including all the supporting casts. I love all the side stories about her friends, the problems of youth studying hard to get good grades for high school and colleges examinations, the desperation of some teenagers who cannot cope with the stress of examinations , etc.
