After Hidden Love, this drama was the cutest and purest coming of age drama I have seen in awhile. I was eagerly anticipating this release, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all expectations.
The story follows Su Zai Zai, a cheerful girl who recently transferred to Yucai High School and falls for the cold and distant Zhang Lu Rang at first sight.
Zhang Lu Rang led a seemingly quiet life with his focus solely on maintaining his outstanding academic achievements, but all that changed when he met the straightforward and bubbly personality of Su Zai Zai. With the help of Su Zai Zai and his friends Gu Ran, Guan Fang and Jiang Jia, Zhang Lu Rang was able to step from behind the shadows of others and be able to live his life for himself.
We get to witness Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lu Rang have a strong and open communicative relationship as they transition from high school into university and again into adults entering the workforce.
Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lu Rang are very supportive of each other's dreams and ambitions and always have each other's back when facing any obstacle.
The heart of any drama lies within its characters and this drama shines in this regard. The series masterfully weaves a tale of love, ambition, and personal growth.
