Sweet slow burn college romance
Yifan is an athlete (javelin) and former tomboy who goes to college and discovers her high school crush, Yan Ke is there. Will they become a couple?
Opinion:
Sweet slow burn college romance. Yes there are love triangles and artificial misunderstandings that keep the two leads apart (there are 24 episodes to fill after all). But, what elevates this particular romantic drama for me is (1) two leads clearly do like each other from the get go and you get to see the reasons they like each other develop over time and not just insta-love and (2) strong female lead. Yes, she is inexperienced in love and clueless at reading signals BUT she has her own firm opinions and dreams, and is a fully fleshed character independent of her crush on the male lead. I also love that she isn’t “weak” and helpless, eg., there is a scene very early in the drama where there is a school sporting event and she ends up slinging the male lead over her shoulder and running him to the finish line. The male lead is handsome but more than a pretty face - he is pursuing his own dream of becoming a pianist.
There is also a strong supporting cast of characters, including Yifan’s two best friends from high school and the second lead (photography student and playboy), whose stories are also enjoyable to follow. I’m loving the drama so far though the second female lead has yet to make an appearance so we will see how that goes... Recommended so far!
