THIS IS ONE OUT OF 3 DRAMAS I DID NOT DARE SKIP A SECOND.

First, let’s talk about the PLOT. I know a lot of cdrama fans who hate watching YOUTH/SCHOOL dramas and I’ll be honest I’m somehow like that. Commonly school dramas start nice but gets super draggy at the middle or end I won’t mention dramas to avoid offending fans since it’s my personal opinion, but this drama? It might not revolve around their love story but the love story was just enough not something that is very less to the point that we won’t feel the chemistry but not exaggerated to the point that it’s cringey. The love that they had was inspiring as they both motivated each other to do well in school (highschool students should learn from them lmao). This drama is very inspirational and would give you a good outlook on how wonderful studying could actually be. As a senior highschool graduate, I actually hate studying but this drama actually made me disappointed for graduating in an online class instead of physical class. Every episode actually tackled things that could possibly happened to a student, dropping grades because of family problems, being discredited by adults just because we are still students, being discouraged because of not achieving your goal, etc.. This drama showed that at the same time they showed us how to resolve them.

Second, the CHARACTERS. I guess I’ll only talk about the main characters. Xiaoran, despite being that boy who’s all about basketball he actually showed us that aside from bball he actually also have a dream that isn’t very related to what he is strong at but it is what he want to become. You could also see that liking someone isn’t always a bad thing for students as it actually motivates you to strive harder but of course it isn’t always the case for everyone but again it is possible and you just gonna need to use that inspiration to become a better person that is proven and tested in my experience. As for Zhangwan, how I love this girl despite being arrogant, stubborn, headstrong, and insensitive this girl is from the beginning you can actually tell where she’s coming from as the drama progress. Yes, she was once selfish but thanks to her classmates she was able to fix that at the same time her obsession with studying actually helped the whole class to achieve greater things. She may not be academically genius but she’s a genius in analyzing people and how to deal with them and irl that is actually very important. Her character is very inspiring and I could seriously relate to her as she’s bad in her math and physics but hey I was able to graduate despite the hardships hahahaha as she said from the drama “your hardwork won’t betray you”. And my fave teacher, Mr. Wang. Idk if teachers like him exist irl since our headteachers are mostly just there to supervise us and let us decide for the class and they are just there to listen. But I actually want a Mr. Wang huhu I envy their class just how supportive was he and he always stand up for his students, he motivates them, he does not pressure them, he molds them to become better version of themselves, he was not only a teacher but he also acted like a parent.

Now for the acting, I’ve watched Guan Lin from CLCFL and he didn’t really gave me a wow factor there since I’ve seen many actors with that role but with this he actually amazed me. Most cdrama actors would go for roles that are similar to dramas where they became popular but he actually nailed this “childing boy” role without annoying the hell out of me he’s not stupid here anyway just childing hahaha for Landy Li this is the first time I’ve watched her and I actually liked her especially her expressions that show “ok-i’m-so-done-here” HAHAHAHAHA

Overall I strongly recommend this drama. The time travel plot? Don’t worry hun it won’t be that complicated just watch the ending it was explained well if that’s why you are having second thoughts about this drama. If you hate the FL for being mean don’t worry as well of course it would be boring if we had a flat character right? This actually refreshed me of our lessons in literature about type of characters flat,round,foil, etc. this show have all of them kudos to the writer they really know what they’re doing that’s why they were able to make this master piece. I’m glad I actually remeber watching this since the eng sub took a while so I had to put it on hold before.

Would I rewatch this? Uhmmm maybe not? Since I actually just rewatch dramas to rewatch the heart fluttering scenes and i dont think i would still cry again after watching some scenes since I already know what’s gonna happen. But it doesn’t mean this is a bad drama or boring I would actually rewatch the special episode since that’s where they actually became an official couple and also the last ep it just sucks that it has only 24 eps I hope there will be a season 2 for their college life and season 3 for their working and family life just like itazurana kiss.

AGAIN WATCH THIS DRAMA AND IT WONT DISAPPOINT!
