I have a lot of love and hate relationship for this drama. I love the characters and how deep each of their personalities are explored but I also cannot stand the dumb plotlines that the writer likes to throw to us -- it’s a cliché and overused plot that really take the fun away from the drama. But it’s only a couple of episodes from the 28 episodes drama so I guess in the end of the day, the good parts did exceed the bad parts in this drama by a lot.

The good:
- Xing Zhaolin as Xia Di. I can’t get over the fact that he's only like 21 years old when he did this but he acts very convincingly as someone who supposed to be in the late 20's. He is probably the 2nd youngest in the casts yet his character look and act the most mature. And that confident! Guys with confidence are really attractive! Enough said. He is an outstanding young man so many of his sayings are the reasons what drove Lin Feng in her life.
- Li Kaixin as Lin Feng. She may not be pretty like other Chinese actresses and she supposed to play a tomboy here but there's something about her that makes her interesting. She is indeed very different and we can clearly see why Xia Di falls for her. One thing is her attitude to always admit faults and apologize for it and another is her persistence attitude in everything. She knows what she wants and fight for it -- really hard.
- The relationship between the leads. It’s very minimal romance but they are very cute together. Particularly because Lin Feng, despite being a tomboy, acts cute when she’s in love. All her weirdness and quirkiness -- that most people didn’t find special are the very main reasons why Xia Di falls for her. He laughs the most watching her weird antics. And most of all, he always find something special about her everytime he met her. From her martial arts skills to her earning money to support him, she's a special girl without a doubt!
- The trust that the leads have towards each other. This is the part that I liked the best. You can throw many things to them, but one thing for sure, they have undeniably trust with each other so other people's evil ploy to destroy their relationship is only like a child's play.
- The friendship -- Xia Di & his friends and Lin Feng with her friends. It is portrayed beautifully especially Xia Di’s friendship with Fan Yang.
- Very fun earlier episodes and last episodes. They handled everything so well in the last couple of episodes. I really like it a lot. It could go wrong in so many ways but they handled all the mess really well.
- The plot twists! I love the plot twists! I didn’t expect it but I kinda sense it since they left many clues for us earlier on.
- An awesome theme song! I couldn’t get over how good and awesome is the melody and lyrics. I never skip the intro since it is that good. :D

The bad:
- Really evil, manipulative and crazy 2nd lead girl; Fan Ling. She's crazy, really obsessive and ruin a lot of fun stuffs in the drama. I think the only good thing about her evilness is the boundaries that Xia Di puts on her. He legit avoid her advances like he hates the very idea of it. And how Lin Feng said she is like a 'litmus test' for her relationship with Xia Di lol.
- A few dumb plotlines that we could go without. The mother plotline is the worst as she is no doubt abandoning her daughter for her career and didn’t contact her for a freaking 10++ years. The disease part is okay and I'm fine with it but why they didn’t tell her is just dumb. Or anything that happened on the mountain 5 years ago, it all could be solved by watching the GoPro isnt it? From Liming summit to Fan Yang falling. :P
- Too little mountaineering activities. For a 'sports' drama, I expect more action regarding this.

It’s still a fun drama at the end of the day. It makes you smile and fun all around. There are many good sayings in the drama but my favourite is: 'If you do something wrong, go correct it immediately. Moreover, work hard to do better. It’s not terrible when you do wrong, its only terrible if you continue doing it.'
