I tend to favour korean dramas as they're typically done in 16 - 20 episodes and even if I don't like it, I can finish watching it quickly and not feel too hard done by. I was actually interested to watch this drama because of 2 of the main cast - namely Janice Wu and Zhang Yu Jian and if you like these actors, this drama is probably the best thing you'll see with the 2 of them in.

I'm a real sucker for dramas which follow a 'gang' of friends from high school to adulthood that doesn't necessarily rely on flashbacks to tell a story, but actually spends significant time during those informative times. In this case, 60% of the episodes focussed on their high school years and not just on what they as kids was going through, but their school interactions and more importantly, their family interactions. Whether they're dealing with parental divorce, separation, step-parents, sibling relationships, illness or even death of immediate family - it was all covered and although there was a lot of comedy, there was also lots of heartache, sentimentality and just plain loveliness to observe as well.

I'm not typically a fan of any drama that is more than about 20 episodes in length, but this is an exception and it's mainly because the plot and story doesn't drag and nothing fantastical or unrealistic happens. Just people living their lives, growing up, growing apart or coming together but just generally doing normal things.

Nothing that happens is irrelevant so you're engrossed in every episode because it's likely that something said or done will have an impact in a future event and it truly keeps you hooked.

Acting and casting is awesome. You know it's good when after watching something, you genuinely can't imagine anyone else playing those roles.

I loved this and in my 'lockdown' state at the moment, I've re-watched this at least twice in the last 3 weeks as well as several times in the past because it's just so good and there's very little else out there that hits the spot in the same way!
