A Love So Beautiful will always have a special place in my heart because this drama is the reason why I've started to get curious with the mainland Chinese entertainment industry. Sure, I've sees some of CDramas over the years but this drama opened the door for me. Not just for the main leads but you can see the chemistry among the actors playing this close knit group of friends.

This is a coming of age drama that spans seasons of one's life. From youth to being in the real world, this drama recalls the scenes of one's youthful days. I'm glad that this didn't have that toxic love triangle story or else I would've dropped this. I liked how the story was simple and relatable and how the leads captured the story of being childhood friends. Chen Xiao Xi is head over heels with her childhood friend Jiang Chen and I'm glad that they didn't play it out like it was some secret crush. I'm glad that she gets to express her feelings openly with their other friends, Lu Yang and Jing Xiao cheering her on. Wu Bong adds character to the mix and his mere presence finally gives Jiang Chen the push he needs and that realization that he indeed is also in love with Xiao Xi. This is one of the stories that you can enjoy over and over again and even play in the background while doing something else. Sure, Jiang Chen is a jerk most of the time but you can see how fond he is of Xiao Xi despite battling with himself on how he feels about her.

A love so beautiful reminds me of It Started with a Kiss for some reason having similar stories with the female lead openly crushing with the male lead but this drama proved that it is its own entity. I enjoyed it, I really did. It was simple, easy, and funny at the same time.
