Too Much sacrifice for love!
I watched it recently in Netflix and got me frustrated most of the time. I actually forwarded almost all episodes.. lol. Si Feng's sacrifice was just too much! I was also waiting for him to get that BIG redemption arc where he is this SUPER strong character that wipes out all the enemies, but until the end, he was still all about the FL, then poof! went into coma. The effects were great though & glad it was still a happy ending, coz I'd be really frustrated if Si Feng went through all that difficulties, then just dies at the end.. I just think the story should have been better, if they weren't torturing the ML most of the time. =D. It was an okay drama overall.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Took me back to my ISWAK days!
I've been seeing this drama in my Netflix recommended list for a while now, but I never really had the interest to watch it, thinking it would be exactly like all other youth dramas out there, until I found a story edit from you tube which made me check it out. Oh boy, I'm glad I did! Our FL looks soooo much ike Ariel Lin! The nostalgia while watching it since I remember the times I was too in love with ISWAK. Admittedly, this is a better drama though.1. The FRIENDSHIP! I think this is what stood out from all other youth CDramas out there. Usually, for friends in a group of 5, the 3 is involved in a love triangle,then the other 2 becomes a couple, or simply cast aside as the story goes. I'm soooo glad this is different. There was no love triangle, & the friends stayed together until the end. They were not just fillers as well. Each of them had their own interesting story. I'm not even sad Guan Fang has no love life. His story with his Grandma is the sweetest thing! Although the friendship story got a bit sidelined after they graduated high school & went their own ways, I'm glad they all got back to their hometown after college graduation.
2. The love!
Main love: This is another case of she fell hard, but he fell harder. I like how they started with friendship, then eventually evolved. Although I did get bored a bit when they finally got together. I like how different it is from the other HS crush drama where the FL loves the ML to the point of toxicity. Like their world revolves around the boy they love & disregarding everything else. For this one, Su Zai Zai gaveLu Rang space when he needs it, & she respects him even if she has always admitted how she has liked him from the start. Supporting him silently when needed. It wasn't cringy at all! I love how Lu Rang evolved from a silent, timid person, to someone who smiles & is not afraid to show affection when he can! These two are exact opposites that balance each other. They also look sooo cute together! Great, great chemistry!
Second OTP: Jiang Jia & Gu Ran definitely stood out as well! Although it took time for them to be together due to several miscommunications, & trying to preserve that friendship, I'm sooo glad they found each other in the end. The stolen stares, the petty jealousy, the accidental discovery of feelings. I just wish they got together the same time as our OTP so I got to see them more as a couple, but all good!
Guan Fang & Grandma: I mean, who needs a girlfriend when you've got the best Grandma in the world! having lost both my Grandmas, GF's story also touched me as it reminded me of how loved I was by my Grannies when they were still with us. I was scared with him when Granny got sick. I'm so glad there was no drama & angst to this show & all ended well.
3. Can I also mention how brave this show is to also portray our OTP living together before marriage? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember watching any drama that actually showed this. Other shows are under a fake marriage contract, or co-parenting so they are "forced" to live together. But watching this surprised me when they decided to get an apartment together after college graduation. Although we already know they are end game, but I'm glad they portrayed this since it is a normal thing nowadays whether we agree or not. Bold move indeed!
This is one of the few who lingers on me after watching it. I was smiling all throughout the show! After watching The Worst of Evil, which brought me to a dark place, it is always refreshing to watch something light with no angst & no heavy drama! One of the best youth dramas out there!

The saddest story with a happy ending indeed
Oh, drama.. What have you done. I think I've only watched 2 titles that made me an emotional wreck after credits rolled: grave of fireflies, & miracle at cell #7. I've watched the Korean movie & the Filipino movie of this one, but this drama had a different & amazing interpretation of the story. I think they've focused more on what really happens to those people left behind once a loved one passed away, which is a nice touch.Definitely get ready with your tissues! I was extremely invested in An Yi Qi's story. Being a single mom myself, with a son who is also very much into dinosaurs, I feel like I am with her in her pain when Ken Le left. It's definitely something I can't even imagine happening to me or to anyone else. It's beautiful the way they showed how she coped after, the reality of missing the one you loved the most so much that you don't even know what to do, how Ke Le met with Po Han while in the "afterlife" after his surgery and asking him to take care of his mother.. these are just some of the scenes that made this drama stand out from all the other versions.
Of course the main couple: K & Cream's story. A love so big that you're willing to sacrifice your own happiness for that other person. I'm glad they were together until K's last breath. How Cream & K became family after losing both of theirs. A love so poignant and true, & so painfully beautiful.
I loved every episode & it's definitely something I'd still recommend even if you'll be an emotional wreck after. ??.. the actors all did amazing to their roles. Although I don't think I'll have the courage to watch it again. This show for sure is one of the top dramas I've watched so far. ??.

Are you still not convinced to watch this Gem? Maybe this will change your mind??
I'm usually that person who forwards most of the drama, especially if it goes up to 50-60 episodes! When I found this on IQIYI, the fact that is only has 29 episodes already got me. Boy was this drama a breath of fresh air!Reasons to watch:
1. The parents! Oh how many times have we watched a drama where the parents are the main antagonist of their children's happiness? This one was definitely different! The ML's parents were one of the best characters in the series. They were understanding, they listen, and they value family. They accepted our FL regardless of her background. FL's adoptive mother too was another great addition. They were all a big factor in our main couple's development as characters.
2. The other side characters - aside from the parents, everyone else has been interesting in the drama. The brother, although he fell in love with our FL, he was happy as long as our main couple are happy. There was no angst, or rivalry between him & FL. I'm glad he had a bit of a happy ending in the end where it was hinted that he might finally found the woman for him. FL's sisters, her doctor friend, her personal maid, the uncles & most especially ML's bodyguard (my favorite character, no doubt!). They all played a part in the story. They were funny, caring, & ready to protect our main couple at all times!
3. Great closure for the antagonists - amazing how the writers didn't just kill off the antagonists just to close out the story. Instead, they showed how karma works & that whatever bad thing you do, will definitely get back to you. The crazy maternal cousin & the 2nd son of the song family both got what they deserve.
4. Amazing chemistry - kisses, kisses, & more kisses! I'm always amazed in dramas with leads who have an amazing chemistry, where you don't even feel that you're just watching fiction. Their love & support for each other has been on point! It took a while before our FL finally realized her feelings for our ML, but boy was it worth the wait! The way he defends her, & explained how he loves her regardless of her background would make you swoon! When our FL encountered a problem at the near end of the series, our ML didn't force her to tell him just because they are husband & wife. Instead, he just waited until she is ready to confide in him, & silently helped his wife through that ordeal.. gaaah!!
Yes, there are small plot holes here & there, but honestly who's counting? Lol. The pregnancy thing though was more funny than annoying since the parents do question why her tummy isn't getting any bigger, but I guess they trust & cherish her so that it isn't even an issue. Although, yes, the fake pregnancy thing was the main reason ML's mother got mad at our FL, for a moment.
Now, if you're still hesitant to watch it, I say go ahead & press play! It's just 29 episodes too so no draggy plots in here. ??

Should have been a perfect 24 -episode series!
Mental health has honestly been a taboo topic, so I'm glad it's getting more recognition now & even being incorporated in movies & dramas. The chemistry of both leads is amazing! Hu yi tian has definitely gotten better in his acting & our Tang xin - what a blessed girl to have been paired with 2 tall, great looking lads! (Re: PYHOMS). There were some draggy parts unfortunately. Although it was good to show what really happened in the past, I don't think it's necessary to take a whole 38 episodes for our ML to figure it out & remember what really happened. I think this would have been perfect if it was 24 episodes, with no unnecessary story fillers.. I was honestly bored & fast forwarded some parts. Great job to the cast though, & the ost was good too!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Beautiful story, & amazing chemistry of not just the lead stars, but all characters in general!
Writing this review while watching the drama again for the 1000th time! Not gonna lie, I was hesitant to watch it at first, then as the show progressed, it made me more interested & invested in the story. What a beautiful love these 2 leads have! They fell in love not because one was forced to, but because they actually spent time with each other, until the love naturally bloomed! Aside from the fact that they are "connected", which made a big impact on their relationship as well.I like that this drama has no obsessed third party characters & not 60++++ episode long. The God of war who was FL's other supposed love interest, even became Moon Supreme's friend! I admire FL's love for our ML. **spoiler - That EPIC scene at the desert where she was about to sacrifice herself & reminiscing her master's words about love definitely got to me! Their scenes together would always give you heart a flutter.
Dylan Wang's acting here is a plus. His acting range definitely improved since his meteor garden days. His crying scenes are superb. You can feel his pain & cry with him. Even the swapping bodies scene was amazingly made! Give this drama a chance, & I assure you, you won't regret watching it. Yes, of course every review is an opinion of its own, & I understand some might not like it. But for those looking for something new & different to watch, this is it for you. =)
