Stage of Youth (2009)

I decided to post my brief review since nobody else had (also my very first?!).

Story/Acting: A pretty typical and sweet story about pursuing one's dreams.
Honestly, I watched this drama for Han Geng. The best part - what really saved it for me - was the relationship between the characters. Although most of them were a little bland for me, three really stood out: adorable Bo Ah, Xia Lei's stubborn daddy, and cocky but semi-decent guy Ding Xiao. Not to mention the scenes between Xia Lei and Momo. But if you're looking for romance, this is not the drama for you. The story occasionally bored me, and the ending was a bit flat. But it was a cute story about how dreams can be acheived through perseverance.

Music: Didn't stand out too much to me personally, but wasn't distracting either!

Rewatch Value: I don't usually rewatch dramas - especially average ones - so my score reflects that.

Would I recommend this? For Han Geng fans and people who have a strong dreams they are working toward, this might be an inspirational drama to watch. Otherwise, I wouldn't prioritize it.
