Rush to the Dead Summer (2017)

Personally, I am a fan of dramas that are reminiscent of high school days. As a highschool student in my final year I personally reminisce 7th grade and junior high quite a bit, especially as graduation is coming up and my final round of exams. I would not recommend binge watching this. I did not binge watch the whole 46, because that would've been a hard task.

The director/producer sure love their flashbacks. They're uselessly long and worth skipping. This drama could've been shortened to 20 episodes if it weren't for the overly long flashbacks. The final 6 episodes gave this drama a soap-opera tone and I felt like they could've incorporated the support characters a lot better in relation to the 2 main characters. Li Xia and Xiaosi get boring after 30 episodes. While the actors did have chemistry, the plot was just... I watched this drama with its plot in mind but I did not think it would be this terrible. Yan Mo and Lu Zhi Ang had more development than Li Xia and Fu Xiao Si. The ending was terrible. I wanted to get to the ending of this drama because I was so tired of the drama and soap-opera elements. I watched the last 10 episodes on 2x speed and skimmed through. I got the gist of the plot, but it could've been done wayy better. I watched love 020 but I did not like the plot.

Save your time and don't watch this drama. It is bland, a better Chinese romance and coming of age sorta drama is A love so beautiful or Age of Youth.

I am not really that fond of long dramas..but somehow I endured the Love 020 and the Eternal love…actually I was hooked to Chinese dramas after it was recommended by a Chinese friend. So when I saw this drama with Zheng Shuang as the lead actress, why not give it a try… but it's not worth the hours of watching. There was something missing in this drama… the romance between FXS and LX was not progressing. Chemistry does not exist with the two of them. I just hope that the writers justified the story itself. It looks promising but towards the end of the drama… I was getting more frustrated.
