I don't usually write reviews, but when I do, its cause i feel so strongly about something and this drama falls in this case. To start off, I've always been a fan of Tan Songyun. I first watched her in The Fox's Summer but didn't really fall in love with her until I saw her again in Under the Power. Ever since then, I have followed all her dramas and I have to say her acting is getting better and better by the day. As for Jing Boran, I saw him in Love 020 the movie and I thought he was so charming and good looking. He is someone who usually acts in only movies so didn't get as much exposure for him.
This drama was amazing. The storyline might not be for everyone because it is a slow burning romance that doesn't necessarily have a strong plot line. Just the leads getting back together and their journey back to happiness. What made this drama as good as it is definitely had huge contributions to Jing Boran and Tan Songyun amazing chemistry and acting skills. The characters, Lu Yanchen and Gui Xiao, they played seemed as if it was really their personality in really life. They played it so naturally that it made me feel like it was a real life couple and I was in the drama observing their lives. Jing Boran's microexpression was amazing. His character was a person who didn't like to talk much but showed his love through actions. The way he always cared for her and showed his love through the way he looks at her and his eyes. Amazing. Completely nailed it. Their kiss scenes were so cute! You could really see all the love just overfilling through each scene. They even nailed that longing and missing feeling they had for each other when they first met again after 8 and ten 10 years. Amazing. All the side characters did an amazing good too. Their contribution to the story was great. Pacing of the drama was good. Every episode was not wasted. Every episode had something cute to add to the mix of cuteness overload. Safe to say, after this drama, everyone will want their own Lu Yanchen. The OST really helped with the emotional and cute scenes, bringing them to life. Its been a while since i have been dying while waiting for each episode to come out. This drama has officially been added to my Top 5 Drama List.
