This is the first time I have decided to write a review because I disagree with some of the comments I saw for this show. I think Attention, Love! definitely falls under the category of "classic Taiwanese drama". It may be a bit dragged out, but not as much as many other dramas I have seen. There are some random characters with less than average acting that don't really move the plot forward in any way. The plot is also neatly wrapped together at the end.

However, what made this drama much more watchable than many other Taiwanese dramas was probably the pretty awesome side characters. Their introductions are less than stellar, but they really do help move the show along and add substance to it. As for the leads, they're not so bad. There were many comments about the angst in this drama. But, I mean, they're in high school and are freshman in college. Of course they act like this. It would be kind of ridiculous if they acted like the perfectly mature and reasonable adults they actually are. They are portraying teenagers, so get ready to really feel that teenage angst. In my opinion, the reasons holding back the main couple were more realistic than the usual dumb misunderstandings concocted by a jealous second lead. If you really think about Yan Li Zheng's back story along with what kind of person Zhong Shao Xi is, then the situations in the show aren't that hard to understand. The show could have done a little better reminding the audience about the backstory, but that did not take away from the story as a whole.

All in all, this is a pretty cute, light drama that is consumed much better in the form of a binge. The story was pretty cute, the acting wasn't bad. Casting was pretty on point. Music is super catchy. Especially the adorable opening sequence. The cuts to commercial man. So freaking adorable. I rarely rewatch dramas and this is no exception. Overall, pretty solid drama to watch if you just wanna see some cute moments of young love.
