Finally the best cdrama

Warning: Spoilers
Finally a Chinese romantic drama without the 2 things I hate the most: crazy unrealistic plot lines that lead to very dangerous scenarios so the hero can save the girl (random kidnappings and what not) and my 2nd most hated thing is when, spoiler warning...

one of them, if not both at different times, decides to leave the other with zero communication all because their parents don't approve and threaten them if they don't listen so they flee and don't say a word. These 2 common themes in Chinese dramas are so irritating yet so common that I was basically waiting for them to happen. For once, the couple stays committed and stays strong towards one another and it was such a sweet, romantic series. The airport scene in ep 24 with the paper stars had me tearing up like a baby right along with them. Ahhhhhhh my goodness I was trying to think of what I would actually change and there's literally nothing so I gave it a solid 10. Comparing this to other series' in its similar genre, yes...it's definitely a 10. I thought the acting was great, writing, chemistry, bingeworthy, (whatever you do, do NOT start this a night before u gotta get up early for work the next day lol!) just really an all around great drama about young love and the choices/sacrifices ppl make as a result of it. I gotta mention one last thing: the brother is a hilarious character and the actor played him perfectly! He wasn't in it as much as I was hoping but still with a smaller sized supporting role, he really stole the scenes. These young actors should be proud of themselves and the work they can produce...perfection!
