I didn't expect it could give me that much feels. This drama is not just a typical high school romance drama. Of course, it focuses on the relationships between the main leads but it's not all. It also touches upon various aspects of life - friendship, school life, teacher and student relationships, family and peer pressures, dreams and so on.

And what makes it really stood out is that the characters are so relatable. The characters in this drama are not one-dimensional; they are very realistic .

Yu Huai, in particular, is not a typical tsundere perfect male lead who is good at everything. He is smart but he focuses his studies only in Physics and neglects other subjects - so he is not top in the class. He is mischievous, playful and likes basketball. He is a caring and good friend towards his friends. His relationship with his mother may not be too good but he cares for his mother. He is not just a genius but someone who studies so hard to achieve his dream. He is not perfect and he is as vulnerable to distractions and setbacks as anyone else. Liu Hao Ran made this character very convincing and very real. I particularly fell in love with his performance in the last few episodes, I could feel his inner struggles and disappointments.

And Geng Geng is not a typical annoying naive girl. She may not be as intelligent as others, but she also has her strong suits and she also tries really hard. She is also strong and very understanding, I would say (not easily disappointed by small things). I loved that she was persistent and did not give up their love until the end.

These two leads compliments each other very well. Their relationship is based on friendship as desk buddies and so they know each other very well - strengths and weaknesses, good and bad. I think that's what makes their romance lovely.
