The narrative technique of this drama is quite peculiar. Although it affects the smoothness of the plot, it enhances the impact of the contrast between ideals and reality. I believe there should be something unique to make it truly innovative. Let's cheer for it! Actually, the plot is fine, very delicate and thought-provoking. Yang Zi's performance is acceptable. Fan Chengcheng's looks and acting are passable to watch.

Jin Shi Jia, I'm sorry. I used to think you were oily, but after watching the latest two episodes, I've come to deeply appreciate your acting. I apologize. Fan Chengcheng unexpectedly fits well in the role of a pure love warrior, and Yang Zi's acting has reached new heights in terms of attention to detail. Even her portrayal of a high school girl doesn't feel out of place. It's impressive overall.

Smooth dual narrative, cohesive emotions, the overall impression is very similar to "A Girl's Guide to 21st Century Sexuality" — not being greedy, not trying to cover too much ground. Even if each episode focuses on just one thing, it is always presented with attention to detail and authenticity. Please watch it carefully.

Every episode has its tearjerker moments, reminding me of the carefree happiness I experienced in my childhood. It brings back the regret of drifting apart from close friends as we grew up, never to reunite again. It also resonates with the frustrations I often face at work. I truly empathize with it!

It's a very down-to-earth drama, realistic and heartwarming. It must be so fulfilling to have a group of friends accompanying you on the path of life. I envy such friendship, and I believe the plot will become even more exciting after the reunion of good friends. I really wish to have a friend like Huang Ying Zi! Looking forward to the updates!

I watched a little bit and was shocked by Yang Zi's face. She looks completely different from before. Did she get plastic surgery or something? The part where she's younger could have been played by a younger actor, just like in "You Are My Sunshine." I feel like Yang Zi is really not suitable for this role, and it's similar to her character Qiu Yingying. After all these years, it seems like her acting skills haven't improved much.

I've watched a few episodes. Yang Zi and Huang Ying Zi's performances are really good. Jiang Chengcheng has also made significant progress. This drama skillfully switches between reality and memories, presenting a more complete portrayal of their relationship. It has both funny and tear-jerking moments. You'll find yourself laughing and then suddenly crying. Yang Zi is amazing!
TravelingCompanion11 months ago rating:8.3
It brings back memories of my high school days, and I also love Sun Yanzi's songs. The worries of growing up, the recklessness and courage of youth, moving forward, looking to the right, waiting at every crossroad, yet compelled to move forward. Who will we meet in the future, and who will encounter whom? Listening to music, chasing our dreams, that's how we grew up in the 80s! But the helplessness of adulthood and the harsh reality make us nostalgic for our once dream-chasing selves. Yang Zi's portrayal of Huang Yingzi resonates with me and reminds me of my past self. Nostalgic for youth, nostalgic for that era. I hope friends who haven't seen it yet can go and watch, and rediscover the memories and beauty of the past!

The female lead acts like a child in kindergarten, with her consistent pattern of pouting, crying, stomping her feet, shaking, and stumbling. Is she really just playing house like a kindergarten kid? The hardworking people of Jiangsu contribute so much to the country's GDP, and this is how Bai Zong treats them after a year of hard work. The people of Jiangsu feel wronged.

It's really amazing, believe me. I don't know how to describe it; it's like a warm bowl of homemade porridge from family in the fast food era. It made me laugh and cry. Everyone is so normal, everyone is so good. It's warm and sincere.
Sincerity is truly a killer technique, and I can feel the sincerity from the production team, you know? It's really great. Isn't it supposed to be like this? It's the first time I've watched this kind of drama, and if the upcoming episodes can maintain this level, it could be a drama I revisit every year. Keep up the good work and lots of love!

It's really good. After watching this drama, it reminded me of a long-lost childhood friend whom I haven't contacted for a while. So, I decided to reach out and try to reconnect. The overall experience was enjoyable! I really like Yang Zi's acting. It's delicate and layered, and she exudes a strong youthful vibe. She portrays a high school student without any sense of discordance. Huang Ying Zi's brightness, vivacity, and cheerful performance are portrayed exceptionally well. Impressive!

I really liked it! The first two episodes were filled with nostalgic memories of youth, with laughter and tears. Sun Yanzi's "Still Good Youth" played, and tears welled up in my eyes. The reunion of Huang Yingzi and Jiang Yi, Yang Zi's acting was superb. The teary-eyed expression she portrayed deeply moved me! I will continue watching the drama. I really enjoy this kind of genre in TV shows!

Youth is not only beautiful but also full of regrets. The scene on the rooftop, drinking and singing, was beautifully executed. Zhuang Yuan's cryptic statement, "I have someone I can't forget," and Fang Ming Yu's relationship issues spoken under the influence of alcohol, this misplaced affection is filled with regret.

Yang Zi's acting skills are beyond doubt. At first, I thought it was just a youthful campus idol drama. After watching five episodes, I was deeply moved. The innocent and beautiful moments of the school days, the longing for life after growing up. When I reached the age of 30, I realized the helplessness of being an adult. Life must go on, but in my spare time, I miss my youthful self. The youth that can't be returned, the classmates' reunion that can't be fully realized, the pressures of life with responsibilities towards both older and younger generations. It's a relatively realistic TV drama, revolving around the lives of six people. Each person's acting skills are commendable. It's worth watching and will keep you hooked for a long time.

I used to dislike watching narratives, but both storylines in this drama are very captivating, so I'm enjoying it. The main cast and supporting actors are all pretty good, and so far, I haven't noticed any moments that took me out of the story. Yang Zi is consistent in her performance, cute and lovable, but at 30 years old, she adds a touch of maturity that's quite relaxed. This is the first time I've seen Fan Chengcheng act, and I haven't read the novel either. He's definitely handsome, but it feels like he doesn't have many lines, haha. I can't be bothered with those who maliciously give low ratings. The eyes of the audience are sharp, and I hope more viewers who watch this drama seriously can give a fair evaluation.

I originally planned to watch a few more episodes before giving my rating, but seeing how the lively and cheerful Huang Yingzi transformed into a calm and introspective individual, and witnessing the transition from a fearless youth to a helpless adulthood, it resonated deeply with me. The scene where Zhuang Yuan hesitantly presents a gift to the mentor also touched me greatly.

It's great! Came at the right time. Being around the same age as the 6-person group, it's true that reality doesn't live up to the childhood dreams. The best friends are the ones we met in middle school, and later on, we may meet some nice people, but it's all temporary, and it's hard to truly open up. Watching this drama, I can really see myself in it.

The plot is too cliché, and the comedic scenes are a bit awkward. I don't know what's wrong, but Yang Zi's eyes always seem unfocused, and her face looks swollen. Actually, it would be more convincing to cast younger actors for the younger parts. At her age, Yang Zi could try exploring realistic themes.

Thought the plot would be a cliché with the typical childhood friends and their friendship reunion, but the filming style and narrative perspective are quite captivating. It makes you want to explore further. Initially, I thought Jiang Yi's portrayal would be similar to Yang Cheng's, but Fan Cheng Cheng brings a new twist, and Yang Zi also ventures into new script choices. I support them and will continue to follow their journey.

Yang Zi really looks exactly like Du Hua in this drama, and it's hilarious how she's still playing a high school student. Ever since she had some work done, she has fully embraced the "big hair" look. Her acting has become more superficial, and while she used to have some credibility in the '90s drama, now she's just like any other generic character.
Fan Cheng Cheng, apart from his age, doesn't really have much to offer. His lively roles are just a bunch of nonsensical chatter. I won't bother evaluating him further.
Jin Shi Jia is trying way too hard to be sophisticated, and it's puzzling how a dignified artist like him ended up in an idol drama. He's just like Wang Chuanjun, who can't taste grapes and claims they're sour.
