Just completed this. I saw a clip or bonus scene of the 2 ML’s in college but it wasn’t in the final episode. This drama started out a solid 8.5 but towards the middle-ending it kind of went downhill. I’m sorry to say that the FL was probably the most mousy childish FL in awhile. She had this aura of talking softly and almost babyish and even wore her hair in childish rubberbands and clips. Even if her best friend wore childish clips it wasn’t as bad. I found myself skipping most of her scenes that didn’t include the 2 ML’s. I even skipped parts with the annoying popular girl that Ma Yiming liked. She was so snobby and I hate that the writers forced them together after the way she treated him throughout the show. I liked monitor’s and Qingtian’s relationship. Started from a one sided crush to being friends to him telling her he likes her in the final episode. They held hands briefly and she even drank his cup of bubble tea so there was that inadvertent kiss, but other than that, don’t expect any more romance. And finally on to the 2 ML. If you told me this was a BL disguised as a bromance, I would have believed you. All their interactions were so cute. They really made it impossible to believe they didn’t have secret crushes on each other. They even had these not so innocent moments that made me almost blush. From the hand holding to them laying down next to each other with their heads nearby, everything about them was chef’s kiss 👩🏽‍🍳💋

Would I watch it again? Probably not. But if they had a drama with just the 2 ML’s then I would definitely watch it. Even without the subtle romance, they had a friendship that started from childhood and into high school and beyond. Although they were enemies at first, they became best friends at the end. Please someone make a new drama with these 2 again.
