Cute Romance
The perfect romance that makes you want to giggle and kick your feet as you watch a pair of 亲梅竹马 (childhood sweethearts) and their romance as they grow up. There's nothing difficult to grasp in this cdrama, and it's perfect if you want some brainless binging. There's amazing chemistry and zero misunderstandings (which is so rare for a cdrama), but I personally found it a little lacking in terms of the plotline. However, it's definitely cute enough to make you want to rewatch it. One unique thing I really loved was the BTS at the end of each episode!I found it relatively similar to Sweet First Love, with its non-blood-sibling bond trope. It both contains cute banter as childhood sweethearts grow up, so if you enjoyed Sweet First Love, this is something that may interest you. One more point I'd like to mention is how they FINALLY made an older female main lead as the love interest, which might be a small point, but this, along with other points like the lack of misunderstandings, does combat a lot of stereotypes that I hate seeing in cdramas.

cute and steamy
This is one of those series that leave you completely satisfied with the ending, there is no "i need the epic conclusion!" because they give you everything wrapped up with a beautiful bow. I recommend this show for anyone who really wants a fluffy sweet romance that had some really steamy scenes.I loved the buildup of the main characters relationship, it wasn't a instant "kapow" but a sweet shift that really showed them growing up and understanding what they truly had with one another. The key ,I felt, was how good the chemistry was between the actors since it was in the subtle changes that you really felt them shift from childhood best friends to something more.
The love interests that was placed in this show, especially for the female lead, were well placed and really showed cute milestones that most teenagers go through. The adorable puppy love, with sweet little gifts and clumsy acts shows of affection that sometimes went completely over her head. Then figuring out how to know if you really like someone or admire them for being an amazing person. They were great characters, even if they were more so fluffy than complications that needed to be fixed.
I also feel they did an amazing job with portraying the "computer science prince charming" guy and how she did nothing wrong to encourage the behavior he showed. Though I do wish the female lead was able to knock him on his butt and give him a wakeup call.

truly the hype!
i was looking for a series which won't stress me out as a break and this is the type of drama I'd watch while i eat, it's not too heavy and a lot of funny scenes.aside from the comical side characters, the acting from FL and ML are really good!! i really love their chemistry as their characters, the only thing i don't like is the FL could be acting as a red flag sometimes and it made me feel bad for the ML. it's nothing much though, still a very enjoyable drama, worth the hype! 10/10 overall rating

Short Lighthearted Full of Fluff
Destined from the start, that is how I would describe LC and XT's story. They are fated to be together from the moment they were born, thanks to their parents. The two moms and LC dad are like members of the CP fan club lols. I love the fact that XTs dad attempted to be a spoilsport and disagree with the inevitable marriage of his godson and daughter it was funny and heartwarming to know that she will be alays daddy's girl.Couple of stuff that I like:
Female bestie and Deskmate CP is cute. Although I understand the break up, LDR and lack of communinacation is a like a bomb ready to explode anytime. Love and trust can't make LDR work. In this relarionship I just want to point out that she is level headed in her fangirling attitude, she does not own her idol and knows her idol has a private life. Kudos to the show for pointing out not all are obsessive fans. I like also her BFs supportive stance in her fangirl life, not all could accept this lifestyle.
FLs male bestie is admirable. Throughout the show there were instances that showed he also likes XT but maybe because he was busy living his life and he knows XT and LC are a couple he supressed his feelings and decided to be just friends. He placed a boundary acceptable to stay in the life of the main couple. I want to think he would rather stay friends than lose them in his life.
The parents - Awesome parents not too controlling which is rare in cdramaland.
Didn't like:
No need for that junior guy to attempt to meddle in the couple juat because he fell for her when he saved her
The girl classmate of LC who also liked him, she was annoying but she at least changed.
The osts fit the drama but not that memorable for me.
A good watch and can be rewatched when we need fluff in our lives ..❤️

Strongly recommend for anyone needing a light-hearted drama binge
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of acting, production, and humour. It was not perfect but I finished each episode with warm, fuzzy feelings - especially given the great epilogues!Rewatching it (focussing on the main leads) and now have a deeper appreciation of ML’s change when he realised he liked FL. I now see the nuances of the brother-sister dynamic transforming to a romantic one (and can sympathise with FL on how jarring it was!). Credits to the leads for making it believable and endearing with great acting and incredible chemistry.
My only wish was that they devoted more time when they were in uni and adulthood. The last half felt fast paced, with not enough time to unpack the very serious things they were going through - sexual harassment, online/workplace bullying, and even generally, the joy and pain of growing up and becoming an adult.
Nonetheless, I found it heartwarming and overall, a great watch. Will probably rewatch again and again to see what else I’ve missed.

Bland youth drama
Nothing literally nothing happens in the drama. Main leads as well as side characters are two dimensional. FL is as usual clueless of what she wants and ML has to help. Why almost all youth dramas have that!What i liked
Initial relationship between ML & FL was cute. There was no over the top sentiments .
What i disliked
After few episodes you realise there is literally nothing happening. Their daily life becomes boring .Side character stories are also annoying. Female side characters and Male side characters are all utterly one dimensional. Either evil or dumb or plain stupid. ML & FL has nothing much happening. Even with friendship it really doesnt look like you are part of their journey. THe feeling i get in some of the really good youth dramas.
Outright unrealistic reactions from almost all around them is just too much to handle.
After they start dating it becomes more stupid with random guys behind FL with outright stupid reactions. FL is supposed to be good at taekwando but ML has to come to rescue. WTH.
Oh yeah they introduce FL saying she joined the school bcs of Taekwando but there is no mention of that after that. She doesnt even think about it even once although other characters point out to belittle her. Everything is so half hearted in this drama. Ughh
Not to compare but another youth dram with same FL had a depth even with side characters so i would say that is much much better. Go watch that. ML & FL both has some arcs with side characters having a good story development.

Cute.
What I like:*The comedy. I burst out laughing to a lot of funny scenes which is good, it rarely happens to me.
*The story line. It is solid, believable, and cute a lot of times. I am glad they've removed the part of the book where the main ML made a huge step w/o the main FL's permission, it would have been a red flag.
*Yin Zihan. The only character and actor that stood out for me. I hope to see him in more dramas (hopefully lead roles) in the future.
*The parents. I like that they're so supportive of the main CP. Although, does it really happen in real life?
What I don't like:
*The acting. I'm so sorry but the acting in this drama is either bland or over the top, I won't comment on actors/actresses individual performance since I do understand that some of them are newbies and needs a lot of work. I would like to comment on the main FL's acting though since I saw her recently in WIFTY and she is really good there, I guess actor/actress performances also depend on the director of the drama.
*The sweet/sexy scenes. It doesn't feel natural, every move/scene feels scripted and I can see that the main Leads are not that comfortable with each other it just feels forced.
*The kiss scenes. I am not against too many kiss scene but in this drama, it was just to many unnecessary for me. I found myself rolling my eyes a few times. Haha.
*The music. I just finished the drama about 15min ago and I can't remember a single song.
Still I am giving this drama an overall solid 8 because of the comedic part, I really like the storyline, and Jun seems to be a very good kisser, I'll give him that. I just hope it was executed better.

The butterflies love and young love give.
A great salute to ones teenage to adult years. A great story that's embedded in friendship and love.To say that I fell in love with this series is an understatement. It gave me all the feels. I enjoyed the friendships and relationships that took place. I enjoyed the growth and the portrayal of men showing feelings more than just being stoic.
While to story was mainly centered on the two childhoold friends, Ling Chao and Xiao Tu, the development and character growth of Jiang Juan Juan and Jia Sia Wen was the perfect icing on the cake. From total opposites, to uncanny friendship and camaraderie, to long distance relationships, to break up, and back to growth and being back together. The sacrifices and growth in that journey was the main highlight of the show to me. It was only in the last three episodes that they were given proper highlight, but the way their story was written was so beautiful and heartbreaking. The quiet sacrifices they both did for each other, especially the story of Jia Si Wen made me bawl my eyes. The insecurities of Jiang Juan Juan also hit home and made me bawl some more. It was beautiful and it honestly portrayed youth. While they aren't the main leads in this show, their story had more pinch to it. It resonated with me more.
Definitely won't tire rewatching this show!

Such a cute little rom-com.
Honestly, I loved it way more that I was expecting to. I went in thinking that it was just gonna be this cute little show (which it was) but it was also really funny and made my heart flutter. The chemistry between Chao and TuTu is UNMATCHED. They were literally destined to be together and I was rooting for them the whole time. Also, I loved how cute Juanjuan and Siwen were. Yes the drama was a little cheesy sometimes but that’s literally any and every rom-com you watch if we’re being honest. The only thing I wish could’ve been done differently was the dubbing. Now I KNOW and understand why they dub Chinese dramas, don’t get me wrong. I just wished we could actually hear the actor’s real voices, but that’s okay. They all did an amazing job. I was hooked from start to finish.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
SUPER cute C drama, kind of the point of Rom-Coms
Call all Seventeen fans! I'm into K-pop and when I realized Jun from Seventeen would be in a C-drama, I didn't care what drama it would be, I would watch it.Miaoyi is super cute and I totally fell in love with her in When I Fly towards you, so I was pretty excited for this pairing. I want to say Miaoyi totally carried the show. Jun is good I candy, but his dubbing needs a touch more practice (not sure if they used his own voice, I want to say yes?). I appreciate Jun's acting ability, because he's not really a professional actor, so it was pretty good, but with a few more dramas, I believe he can be great in no time.
The rom-com is totally adorable and cute. It's EVERYTHING you want in a C drama. Very cheesy moments, a lot of tension and very low angst. I kind of wished the episodes weren't so short at 30mins, I pretty much finished the drama in no time. The drama is my favorite kind of youth drama, it starts out with the characters in high school, then they eventually go to college and finally become young adults. So, you get plenty of skinship!
This drama is really fan-service to Jun's fans or anyone who loves classic C drama troupes. I really do appreciate these high cheese, high adorable shows because it really puts me in a good mood.
