I downloaded the 1st two episodes and I didn't watched it for weeks bcz I was already watching other 3 drama and I read reviews and didn't find like my type.... Then accidentally I started watching the first episode and within just 5 min I loved it more and more.... I spent 112 rupees to download it in HD and watched every single episode with no skip , I even left Watching other good drama for this.. The storyline, characters, actors ,acting , plot , suspense, twist ...it was all top notch.... I didn't thought it to be fun but it turns out be real fun with natural flows...

THE BEST DRAMA OF 2023 in all Genre.... It will give you positive energy and sounded mind ... And I am glad that this is my last drama I'm watching.... Yes! After watching this I decided not to watch anymore drama .... Focus in dream , life and be positive.... I decided to rewatch only MERLIN and STAY WITH ME , till half a year and live my life with all fun.

I absolutely loved it ! Yes it's censored by the very open minded Chinese communist party which tells a lot about those people.... so no kiss, but this being said, everything is excellent. The 2 leads actors are just lovely. And even the secondary actors are very good.

The cinematography is also very good.

Do I find in it some flaws? The blue screen on the beach near the end... And, the ending is a bit too steep. It is good to have a cliffhanger but this too much for our little heart to take.... The authors of this drama should have considered a little more how much an audience can take when they are very much invested in their caractors.... At the very least they should make official right now that there will be a season 2!

I had been watching snippets of this drama on my Y0*t*be recommendations for a while. It is remake of 'Heroine' 2019, original work by Cha JiDan. I ventured not having expectations from fresh faces. Often easy viewing storylines with slice of life genre are remade into multiple languages. Most of the times, first made is the best. However this series was spared the fate 'Addicted' met with, owing to the ending that was intelligently rounded to appease the government. Comparatively, this is an elaborate version diligently filmed upon circumstances of the characters rather than accentuating bold sodomy as in the earlier case. Xu Weizhou and Huang Jingyu looked quite mature for school uniforms but apparently that aided in filming sensor frames without having to be bothered of legal issues. Their chemistry would easily surpass that of these youngsters. Even on the scale of charm and popularity, former wins, undoubtedly. 'DuoDuo' and her friend are too adorable. Xiao Huan, in my opinion, should be casted as 'Hong Er ye' if ever another series from Dao Mu Biji is made based on the 'Mystic Nine'. Ending was heart warming. Overall a clean drama suitable for all ages.

The script, the actors, the music, the plot twists made this film unforgettable for me. Real life as reflected in this film can be so hurtful and ugly, but if you live long enough to forgive people, you can find so many moments of happiness. The script writers crafted a story of the two boys and their family loves and conflicts that was heartfelt and satisfying in many ways. But there has to be a second season. How do the boys find each other again?

Highly recommended to audiences of any age or nationality. I am American and learned a lot about Chinese culture and background. I believe that the family values displayed in this movie are universal.
