This is one of the dramas where you can watch with ease and not feeling entirely angry or frustrated. I'm already going to give kudos to this drama for not having typical C-dramas cliches. There's no breakups, no misunderstandings, maybe a few snobby prideful characters but not really evil, no evil parents or in-laws, secondary characters are not jealous evil psychos but instead are best friends with the main leads. There is a mini conflict towards the end so it does kind of follow the typical last minute issues in a C-drama but thankfully this conflict doesn't effect the relationship with our main couple.

What was great about this drama: I just love the support that Nan Xi & Xia Rui have for each other and how they just want to be together and there for each other forever. We first see Nan Xi as a shy student with social anxiety. I was really sad for him since he just looks so sad and depressed in the beginning but thankfully it didn't take long for Xia Rui to remember that Nan Xi was her childhood friend and she began to support him emotionally which is great because he really needed that close friend. At the same time, Nan Xi supports Xia Rui with her grades and helps her improve her poor study habits. I also love their two friends Cheng Er, the loudmouth & Yi Shu, the smart but quiet supportive friend. Just seeing these 4 bonding and their silly moments were enough to make me enjoy this drama.

Romance wise, though we do see a lot of chemistry between our leads in the high school episodes, you'll have to wait until the high school days are over to see any progression and kiss scenes. There are 3 couples. Our leads get the most spotlight, the secondary couple comes in closer towards the end of the drama but you do see some hints throughout the drama and the third couple kind of just popped out of nowhere with very little screen time, which in a way makes me wonder how our main characters ended up being close with them anyways since they hardly interacted with them in high school.

What was missing from this drama:
- The root cause of Nan Xi's social anxiety disorder: It wasn't really clear what the main cause for his disorder other than being bullied/teased as a kid (even though Xia Rui as a child protected and spent time with him)
- The lack of screen time for our third couple Liu Bin & Yu Fei: Development of this couple and the friendship of them with our main characters seemed lacking.
- The developing friendship with Gao Ting: The writers messed up on this part. Gao Ting could've played a bigger role in the college episodes. Gao Ting felt alone and unimportant. Liked the guy walked away by himself after saying that and no one has concern for him. Geez... show some compassion writers. This could've been a great opportunity for Nan Xi who hasn't really made friends on his own, to make his first friend by himself with Gao Ting. That could've show another step for Nan Xi to grow out of his social anxiety. Instead, the writers make him a bad guy because of jealously towards the end.

Overall, if you need a drama to pass time while you are waiting for another drama or one that doesn't give you heartaches and headaches, I would recommend giving this one a try.
