First off, I really like to commend Zhou Yutong on her acting, she's a really good actress and I hope she gets more good projects like this where she can show off her skills.
Couldn't actually believe that i reached for tissues a lot more than its number of episodes. Thanks for making my 2 weekends full of tears.
I have read the synopsis before watching it, but didn't expect JingJing to pass immediately, so I was heartbroken at once. How the remaining three friends overcame and stood throughout was really wonderful. They had their ups and downs but they worked through it. Made me really wish for friends like that and got me wondering if my friends now are close knit enough to live life like the characters. I regretted my life a lot while I watched the show, I feel that I should have been more sociable as a child/teen, especially now that my parents are quite old, and I don't have any real close people I can depend on.
There were aspects I didn't like but that was part of the story - Yan's shopaholic attitude and the ending of her relationship. But overall, I am happy for their love lives, whether they ended with someone or just happily living alone. To be honest, I got scared at the last episode when QiaoQiao and Jian YiFan were teary eyed, I was scared that they might abruptly end things with their expressions, but thankfully, they didn't
If only the series was a little longer, it seems that 12 episodes are a bit short for a drama as good as this. But when I think about how they could have lengthened the storyline, I really couldn't think of another way to end it. So I have accepted the fact that the series ended perfect as it is. and I love the ending scene at the Great Wall, very nice way to mark their lives in Beijing.
