Could have been shorter
This was a great high school drama, like the ones that made you feel like you wanted to be in high school again. I love the friendships in this story, it made the show enjoyable and easy to watch. There was a second male lead, but he wasn't annoying. The leads had a healthy relationship, and the friendships in this story were just the icing on the cake. And in the end, I really did for the characters, but that being said I did not like the structure of the show.I personally like stories that have a plot throughout the show and the conflict is presented midpoint and so on. But in this show, they resolved the main conflict of the show at the midpoint of the series. And after that, it just felt like a bunch of filler episodes. I think this series would have been better if was about 12 to 18 episodes long. I thought it was too long, not to say that it dragged, but you could tell the writer was just adding things in to fit the episode requirement. It was still a good show, but it had a bunch of subplots, which I can't say I enjoyed too much. About every 6 episodes or so was a different subplot, if you enjoy shows like these you'll probably like this one. But I prefer a show with continuity rather than a series that is broken up. It felt like a compilation of high school stories, which is not a bad thing it is just not for me.
I will say after a while I lost interest in the main couple and started liking the second couple and the boy best friends better. The only regret I have with this show is that they did not expand on the storyline of the boy best friends. I know this is due to censorship laws in China, but their story could have been great.
Overall if you want to watch a few stories of high school figuring it out while laughing along the way, this would be the series for you.

It was SO CUTE
I will say this, it did have some unnecessary things that barely got an explanation.First, why did Lin Xis dad suddenly get stabbed making her stay back a year in HS? They showed NO issues of her brothers murderer being ANYWHERE near them. This was so confusing and he just ended up getting arrested... but like why did it happen?
Two, when they met the senior at the university (the drama girlie) HOW did she not recognize Lin Xi? It made it seem like they were strangers and she was just this girl that Ji Jun Xing was supposedly in a relationship with... Like, I wouldve assumed they wouldve became friends since they met the year prior and Ji Jun Xing was friends with her.
Also, why did they have so many side characters liking the mains? Song Lin Xue, who had a crush on Ji Jun Xing since they were kids, the classmate that had a vendetta against Lin Xi because she was better than her academically and Ji Jun Xing was friends with her, and Qin Kai liking Lin Xi. Like, thats so many and for what? I feel like one or MAX two wouldve been fine.
Fourth, Chen Mo and Gao Yun Lang were dating right? Or at least they had a crush on each other? Or Chen Mo did? It gave those vibes but it was never confirmed...
But, despite those weird situations, the show is actually really good and so cute. I thought their relationship was so cute. No matter what situation got in between them theyd always find a way back to each other. Its definitely a slow burn, but I think it made sense that it was a slow burn. Lin Xi had the fact that her brothers heart got donated to Ji Jun Xing on her mind all the time, so she wasnt focused on dating him because she saw him as a brother/friend. Of course feelings developed as Ji Jun Xing stopped being a closed off loner freak. But it was also cute in terms that all 6 of them became close friends. In the beginning it jusg seemed like Ji Jun Xing and Xie Ang were best friends, Chen Mo and Gao Yun Lang were best friends, and Lin Xi and Jiang Yi Mian became best friends, but to each other they were just classmates. Then they became close and stayed close for years to come. It was just a very heartwarming drama. I loved it!
