Lighthearted and realistic story of teens growing up
hanalisss8 October 2022
So I enjoyed this one but the last 10 episodes were draggy and boring so I skipped a lot.

Nothing ever happens except for them continuing living their life so even though is a very realistic story, I thought it wasn't gripping enough.

A little thing call first love or A love so beautiful are way better than this if you want the focus on the romance side and it is also better because you can see them in different stages in life.

If you want something with more depth and better family and romance plots overall Go ahead also surpasses this one on quality.

If you prefer something similar but more adult is the Korean Reply series, those dramas will make you happy, there's even a few scenes on the Reply 1988 that are the same as here but better.

I think its a good try but too bland and childish for me, although I found the voice overs and analysis of each episode to be good enough quality .

Watch it if you want something lighthearted and simple with no complicated plots or too much depth.

Good Enough
PennyReviews2 February 2019
Chinese productions know the secret in making nostalgic, school dramas. This one is actually one of the best I've watched so far. However, there is a trop that they even couldn't escape: the open ending. Why, really why!, can't they give us a satisfying ending?! Anyway, other than slice of life - realistic ending, the story was sweet and full of the innocence of youth. The leads were especially adorable and everyone gave a good performance. The execution, moreover, was good overall. So, seven out of ten.

Definitely recommend watching
zenna762 November 2019
Could the show get any better or the character of Hua Biau get more Perfect? This show is definitely my favorite Chinese Drama and is a must watch. Unlike other dramas where I usually end up being disappointed with the ending, this drama had me hooked throughout and made me feel like the ending couldn't be more perfect and realistic. There was not a dull moment in this drama. I wish they had more episodes.

The lady who played the Grandma had me weeping. Her acting was so so so amazing. And the character of Er Tiao was very different and interesting.

The whole idea about the best friend being secretly in love with the main lead, and the whole love triangle thing is a bit overused, but that can be excused, since the drama is amazing otherwise.

And did I mention how much I love Hua Biau's character. Neo Hao portrayed this character so perfectly. You can't help but fall in love with him. Move aside bad boys, 'the good guy' is what everyone will start craving for in dramas now after watching this show. Okay I'll stop now. XD

The best Chinese drama
lubhanshilp4 May 2020
I couldn't stop myself watching this drama again. The characters, the acting and most importantly the ending is so perfect that I fell in love with each of them. I really want to tell everyone that this is the best Chinese drama and please please do watch it guys. At the end I was really sad but on the other hand I couldn't think of a better ending. If you have ever fallen in love in your high school do watch it, it will take you back. I really wish to see it's 2nd season.

The best show ever

Honestly great. Has a nostalgic feel as it is set in the 90s. You can watch on YouTube with subs.

Although I loved this drama I really don't know what I have found in this drama wrong but this drama is my comfort zone it was so inspiring drama but we just need a second season with the same cast and a happy ending it was not a ending if you are thinking that you will not get that much good review then you are wrong cause now each actors are famous I am sure this will be the hit one.

The drama is cool and really well describes what life was like as a teenager
bestonhutajulu5 May 2021
I really like this drama because it shows how the lives of teenagers, Where adolescence is indeed a very draining emotional drama because of the many changes, In this drama, there are many lessons that must be taken by teenagers, teachers and everyone else, Thank you for making this drama, I like it very much, I hope this drama has a second session, I love Sangbiao.
