Beautiful drama (MUST READ MY REVIEW FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE DRAMA)
If you want a smart leads who go through every obstacle together without break up then this drama is for you.The leads are smart in their own way, one is hardworking and other is genius. I loved their characters so much.
FL is not dumb, she is a very hardworking girl, down to earth and always stand up for herself and for the ones who is wronged. She is a brave girl. Before she met ML her life is prearranged, everything was arranged according to her mother but after she met ML she began to explore herself, she always does things that what she wanted to do, she knew what she wanted after she is close to ML. The actress is beautiful and her acting is on point. ML first shown as arrogant and con man but you will realise that the first impression on him is so wrong because he is very hardworking and responsible person. He is kind of a guy who is meant for leadership. He is kinda flirty, mischievous and has his own charisma, I even loved his hairstyle throughout the drama may be because the actor is so handsome and the acting is superb. At first in school days he was always misunderstood by everyone even though he is kind but after sometime FL is there to help him. ML is the person who doesn't care about future but because of FL he began to realise the importance of the future path. I loved how they influenced each other in the better way.
The storyline from high school days to wedding day is beautiful and realistic. They have their up and downs and faced many obstacles together and supported each other. Before they got together they kinda seperated but they resolved in 2 episodes but once they started dating they never break up , this is one of the reason why I really liked the story because I'm tired of watching dramas where leads are separated because of every single fight or misunderstanding but thankfully in this series there is none of that nonsense. Leads have great chemistry, full of fluff. Actually their love story doesn't felt forced because in some dramas you will be thinking why they suddenly started liking each other but in this drama you will feel why they attracted to each other and their love story does comes naturally. All actors did great job. Every character matured in their own way.
The storyline arc about 'start up' is very realistic because every business has there up and downs but in this story they had problems in business but they handled the pressure and issues very maturely. I loved whenever ML was at lowest point FL always there to support him and whenever ML is dispirited FL always handles him maturely and give correct encourage words to make him feel charged up. Both are very sensible persons. The friendship between the group is precious.
There was one thing which I really liked in this story is whenever FL wanted her private space then ML always gives her space, always respect her and her decisions and silently supports her, he is not a jerk or a possessive guy but a mature and real gentleman. They always communicate their problems.
In this show the leads always indirectly indicate that doraemon is ML and nobita is FL and at their confession scene (at ep 12) they have mentioned about doraemon and nobita, I had repeated that scene to understand what they actually meant and when I finally understood I found it is very heart touching and romantic.
Everyone should watch the series without high expectations then you will love the show, some people might find it boring but for me it is simple and beautiful drama and I loved the flow of the storyline.
Definitely didn't regret watching this series. Definitely re-watching it. It may not be perfect drama or best drama but this show is close to realistic and with better mature lead characters. Wish they had more episodes.

Worth it
Loved the drama. Acting of the leads is really good. The only one whose acting never convinced me is Long zhi ( Meng zi yi). Story is good despite little flaws. It is rewatchable for me.In romance department I can tell why leads fell for each other...they both are great in their own way. Main leads - Chang Dong is really intelligent and with a quick mind and wit. He is calmn, have logical thinking, bit reserved, compassionate , kind and merciful. Ye Liu xi is such a badass character, fearless, smart, bit shameless lol, funny, powerful. When they met I can tell they are compatible. The romance went naturally. They both are brave, decisive, love their bickering and have very comedic wit. Both are the definition of powerful together and felt equal in relationship. For me the relationship is healthy enough and mature. What I liked about them is the communication between them and the way they respect each other, mutual understanding, have good rapport and felt equal.
There are few people in comments said "romance isn't necessary because it doesn't do anything to the story " like seriously !? I respect their opinion but I strongly disagree with this. Romance is significant in main leads. It really helped their development... for chang dong- ye liuxi helped him break his shell and made him better person, as for ye liuxi - Chang dong is the first one to made her soft heartened and because of her love for him made her understand the caring and loving, its only afterwards she began to care about other people in the team because she already understanding love because of chang dong. You can try to say staying with team she would have same result but it is never same, she would have cared but she would never be this soft heartened. The first crack of soft heartened happened only because of her love for chang dong and then she came to realise love and started to become soft heartened and started to care for others in team. All the interactions between the leads is necessary because it shows that how she soft heartened and how she broke his shell. The comfortness and confiding with each other is necessary and it felt natural. There isn't much romance to begin with except for few kisses and in most of the interactions they discuss serious things but through romance and comfortness. It also helped their conflict about the big reveal because they already fell for each other. You can argue it can be platonic ..why it have to be romantic. Every platonic love cannot be romantic love. Maybe because they were already like this even before official relationship except for intimate things, maybe that's why people felt why it need to be romantic, but because of this you can clearly see the difference between how Yu liuxi treats others and how she treats chang dong, this is the difference between platonic and romantic love even before official dating...you can clearly see which one is going to be romantic and how different they treat each other compare to others even before relationship, it really went naturally. For the main lead it really helped and felt natural because it is romantic love, some things cannot be platonic love you know like the love between main leads, there is so much between them and because of the romantic love they became better person. They can be together simply because they love each other. It terms of leads they loved each other, learned so much because of love and they both grew with love and also significant to each other too.
The gang of the leads is good, they all have good rapport and comedy....don't forget the roaster lol. The way they solve the mystery is good. The plot have some flaws but the drama is so enjoyable.
Most pitiful characters are Jiang zhan and Gao shen. I know Jiang zhan character is not gonna end well but I really wished he atleast have reunion with female lead. Despite his painful past and suffering, the character lacked depth. From what I got from the past Jiang zhan is innocent, hardworking, loves female lead, later had brutal strength but that's it. I know even in their past that they were only friends. From what I felt even in friendship female lead overpowered Jiang zhan, they never felt equal. Of course they cared for each other but I can understand why she (female lead ) never fell for Jiang zhan despite years of friendship. Because they are not compatible and not well matched. For me they never had any love potential but have friendship potential.
Second female lead ( Long zhi) loves Jiang zhan and it seems jiang zhan have feelings for her and are in the relationship in the past. But their relationship is really hard, toxic and I never felt connected with them mainly because of Meng yi zhi's (long zhi)acting. Long zhi is interesting and very smart. I really wished they showed Long zhi time in jail and jiang zhan reunion with his friend. I know he is feeling guilty and I always felt he has weak mentality from the beginning, so it felt less surprising for me when he ended his life.
Gao shen life is really pitiful, I wished they showed his life after he became puppet, atleast they have sort of have happy ending.
Fantasy- The mystery and fantasy is good and they balanced very well with pace of the story. The mystery and romance is very balanced to the plot. I'm satisfied. But CGI is not that great.
Story- For me it felt like both leads is starting a new life slowly letting go of their past as the story goes while solving mystery and becoming better person. It is a journey for them. They both made new resolutions as the story goes.
Another thing is - For me it has satisfying ending but if the negotiation happens after the built up fight then it would be great. The Ye liuxi present is changed person , she wanted freedom of her people but not in the cost of so many lives. In the past Ye liu xi is ruthless but in present she really is calm and soft heartened after she met chong dong and their friends. If there is way out of this for a peaceful negotiation then its understandable and I agree with. The fight happened but the fight is not so great. But it have very satisfying ending for me. Another thing is female lead really looked badass and very convincing acting
Totally for me it's a worth of watch. I'm gonna re-watch again

Must watch
Honestly when I first started this series I didn't think it would be SO GOOD. I like every character in this series, there are no villains just relatable obstacles in our daily life. We can learn so much in this story personally I love each episode which is filled with meaning. If you didn't watch it then you are missing something really good story. I can relate myself in some scenes.I really REALLY have huge crush on male lead which is Hua Biao. I love his character soo much and when you watch it, you will definitely fall in love with him. When I first started the episode I really thought it is weird to see him smile all the time(even though it is cute) but after the story continues on you will realise that you have misunderstood him. He always stays optimistic which is really lacking in me. He helps his friends, and never turns his back on those who are in need, even though he is going through so much in his life he never complains . Everyone need a person like him in there life (personally I want him as my husband). His acting is on point. Even though second male lead is lovable , I never felt second lead syndrome because you will always will be rooting for the main leads. All the actors did a great job.
You can definitely feel a character development on everyone, each person learn something from someone. Our OTP is perfect and have great chemistry and their interactions are soo cute even I felt butterfly sometimes.
When you watch this show you must keep in mind that the story is in 96's and thay are 18yrs old. Parents are superficial and always pressure their children but as the story goes on you will realise the parents pressure and it has very realistic issue. DON'T FORGET THE GRANDMOTHER, she seriously nailed the character in this series and her relationship with Hua Biao is very heartwarming to see. Seriously I loved all the characters like teachers, friends, parents all of them.
The friendship between our group is VERY precious and whenever they are together I always felt warm like they always had each other . This story is a GEM , you must watch it or else you will definitely miss something. This is my top cdrama and I will definitely re-watch it. Really hope there is second season.
