i’ve only seen one other zhang miao yi drama which was “when i fly towards you” and that was one of if not my fav romance drama of all time. something about miao yi is so comforting and she just makes you immediately more happy when watching her dramas. her acting is so brilliant and she pulls off the coming of age romance genre like no one else can!!!! i genuinely don’t know how to put into words how talented she is, i think i’m in love! she’s cutie pie #1!!! 

and for this being juns first acting gig in a while he ACTED. he’s an ACTOR. knowing how he acts with svt and how he is with fans compared to how he is in this drama threw me for a loop. i think i was just so used to him being goofy and silly that seeing him be this serious “i hate everyone but you” guy was crazy. but i really do think he pulled it off. it was so worth it waiting for like 500 years for this drama to come out. and as the show went on you could genuinely feel the progression and development of his character. him and miao yi together is genuinely one of the best pairings that could have happened. their chemistry was insane and felt so natural. 
the only thing i would say was that there was a bit of an abrupt change between like complete childhood friends to like dating and in love but i guess it makes sense with the progression of juns feelings, so it like didn’t ruin things for me obviously i just wish we got to see more of the in between on friends to lovers…almost like “flirting” or like tension ig. 
but the build up was absolutely perfect and everything about the romance was so so cute and sweet, and im glad we got a bunch of episodes of them like actually being a couple couple cause sometimes the leads will like get into a relationship, have like one cute scene, and then it’ll end, but we were spoiled with them in this!!! 

and the “i’ll remember your temperature” line from juan juan in ep
18….bitch if that isn’t the most romantic thing i’ve ever heard like i got heat flashes that was the craziest thing ever said. i’ve never heard something so romantic before…and it was such a quick line they just kinda moved on…I CANT MOVE ON. ILL REMEMBER YOUR TEMPERATURE??? BITCH WHO SAYS THAT??!!? let’s make out rn.

i also don’t really cry while watching shows that often but something about cdramas showing graduations and having nostalgic school montage with the voice over saying “hmmm i’m really gonna miss this place” makes me cry so hard that somehow i end up on the floor.
