The best "highschool" drama in recent years from C-land
This drama is so amazing that I think I am not exaggerating when I say viewers won't be able stop watching this drama even when it ended. We would go back and re-watch the episodes (many) many times until we can find peace with our emotions.
If you have watched the K-drama "Extraordinary You" or the Taiwanese drama "Someday Oneday" and liked these very much, then "Shining on One Thing" is the drama for you.
The story depicted the adventures of the FL (Lin Bei Xing) whom somehow traveled back in time (or perhaps traveled to parallel world) when she deleted sms messages on her old highschool mobile phone. These time traveling experiences made her realised that there was someone who was madly in love with her since she was a little girl, yet she has never set an eye on this boy (our ML) named Zhang Wan Sen.
Very often, I find myself not able to follow highschool dramas because I find them a bit childish but this drama absolutely stands out. It is filled with bitter sweet moments that capture those youthful years in highschool (the anxiety that everyone goes thru taking the pre-u exams , the uncertainty they feel when they have to leave highschool, the excitement of the summer before leaving for university and those moments when we all fall in love for the first time as young adults)
The script writing is really good, despite a few melodramatic moments which can be too coincidental or dramatic, I find the story acceptable to logical sense. The pacing of every episode is good, it doesn't drag too long on one issue.
The casting of both the ML and FL were very well done. They played their characters so well. It was such an amazing experience watching the FL and ML playing highschool kids who looked absolutely convincing despite in reality, the FL is already 30 yo and the ML 25 yo respectively. Most of the supporting roles were really good too. Convincing for most parts.
The OST was good. I especially liked the song "Goodbye" sang by Ding Dang. There were a lot of bitter sweet moments in this drama that teared me up because of OST.
I really don't have much complaints about this drama except the ending. I really wished it could have been more conclusive. I am guessing that's why they are doing a movie to give all of us a closure. I look forward to this movie.
