And the male lead, oof, I've been obsessed with Zhou Yiran since FIYS for absolutely no reason. His acting skills are amazing and his character here is so cool and serious that is heart-melting when he starts falling for Su Zaizai. I'm looking forward to his next work.
The storytelling in this drama is great, the writers were able to capture their growth through time very subtly, it's just like watching them grow and mature in front of our eyes, especially romantically.
The second leads have some amazing stories. Normally, I find it very hard to get involved in SLs stories, but not in this drama. The writers didn't only give them a relationship out of nowhere just to say they did it (something like this happened in Exclusive Fairytale, Miao Yi's new drama), all of the supporting characters have depth and we get to know them well.
Honestly, Friends to Lovers isn't my trope, but this C-drama flew fast to my top 3 favorites of all time.

The fairytale of fairytales...
*minor spoilers*I really wanted to give this drama an 8 but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this drama had noticeable flaws and maybe that's because the Reply (kdrama) series that it resembles, did so well.
The biggest detriment for me was that this presented as the fairytale of all fairytales and for me being older, wiser and more jaded, know that these situations aren't always going to come up smelling roses. There are inevitable struggles in life, unexpected hurdles that everyone has to face and in this, there weren't any big challenges. Everything just happened, quite quickly. Time changes didn't do anything except give secondary characters less screentime. I wished they did more with them because it became apparent that no one else had a story other than the main leads.
And I compare it to the Reply series because they tackled the issues of growing up head on, they didn't sugarcoat anything. Reality set in and in WIFTY, it never happpened, the fairytale just continued. It never came back down.
But if you want a nice, easy to follow, no worries drama to watch. This is perfect. But if you want something more realistic and a bit funnier, the Reply series is the way to go.
7.5/10

So cute ????
I'm in love with these series and I haven't even finished it ðŸ˜. I love it bcs it's cute, and it doesn't have the love triangle, too much drama, insane obsession with the main lead(s);It's not all abt that, just pure snuffy cuteness!! Cdrama's (some of them) never disappoint bcs they are just simple, cute, love, care, ect.So if you are a fan of the crazy plot twist complicated puzzles with love triangles, then this might not be for you :)
But if you love cuteness and just simple plots that'll give you butterflies anyhow, this is perfect!!
