Life-Changing, Life-Learning

Dear viewer, I've never seen anything like this show. I'd particularly not even like to describe it as simply a "show" or "drama". To me, It is much more personal, like a documentary of these people and how they've lived their lives. There is nothing unrealistic about it, everything is intentional and has a purpose for these people. I don't even know where to begin in talking about it, but I did make an account simply to discuss my absolute desire for this show to be known as what it is: a pure work of art about real life people. Usually, when I'm watching something there's always a fence of good or bad, and choosing sides but in this documentary there's none of that. It's just telling you a story of how things happen because people grow. People grow from hurt, from pain, from everything. It hurts me because I relate to this show a little too much but that's because I'm human. I went into this a bit discouraged from romance, and life in general but it has brought more life into me. It's made me realize, life is deep and serious but it's also very lighthearted at times and especially beautiful despite the pain it can give. It not only touches on dating but family, friends, death, work-life balance, personal aspirations, marriage, and simple human behavior regarding relationships. We know we've not perfect as people, yet we expect others to be for us. It's taught me a lot, and I've never dated anyone before. But it's taught me so much about the expectations of a relationship, how to balance, communication, and the costs of it. Life isn't perfect on this current earth but we, as humans, can learn to live it together. Everything about this show is beautiful, from the characters you can't help but be frustrated at at times, to the dialogue, scenery, and simply real raw emotions. I don't know what the directors or actors were thinking when they created this absolute masterpiece of a show but it's caused wonder in my life. I would like to thank them for that. At first, I wasn't so sure about the couple but it made me think, who am I to approve or disapprove when it's not my relationship? If they're good together and if it's what God wants then what am I to say anything? I realized as a viewer I shouldn't have these opinions about these such things when I don't know these peoples' feelings or what they're going through. Each character has they're own sins, problems, but also love they harbor for one another. I loved everything about this show, even as I wanted to critique it, I couldn't because this was their life and as a person watching, I shouldn't meddle. I'd like to say thank-you for creating and making this show. It was absolutely a star, and I cherish it. I pray and hope their lives will continue on despite the harships, and so will mine. Thank you. Don't forget to watch the 3 specials. I really disliked how I saw the ending in the TV show without watching the 3 specials first and got really really frustrated & sad, so make sure to do that, that's honestly why I didn't vote it 10 stars because it needed that to be know first. But, seriously, watch this. Xue Tong, Bailin, QiQi, Xiaotang, I grew alongside with them and can only wish them the best. They were people to me and not everyone has this so called "happy ending" with feelings, but it's not even about that, it's about pursuing what's right and meant for you. I learned about love through this show. I'll miss how kind MuChenghe was to Xue Tong despite their internal turmoils, I'll miss Bailin and QiQi's friendship, and Xiaotang's guarded personality. Please give this a watch + the three specials if you believe in what I say. Every single person in this made it worth watching. It was a journey and I ended up in the right place. The star went back home after all, voyager 1 has finally left, and we've all matured! <3

Esperava muito mais

Esse foi um Drama muito difícil pra eu assistir. A sinopse é bem interessante, mas o roteiro é arrastadíssimo e eu nunca vi tantas pontas soltas e um final que não explica absolutamente nada. Aí quando você termina de assistir descobre que tem 3 capítulos extras que você não encontra pra assistir em lugar nenhum! Se eu pudesse voltar no tempo eu nunca assistiria esse drama só por isso. Procurei resumos na internet pra saber o que acontecia e só assim consegui descobrir qual era o problema do protagonista e o por quê dele agir e ser daquela forma.

Indico o drama apenas se você não liga pra pontas soltas e se não for uma pessoa extremamente curiosa (como eu). Esteja preparada pra um final que foi simplesmente jogado na sua cara sem explicação e sem nenhum desenvolvimento.

Uma história progressiva de amadurecimento

Na real eu não esperava muito do final.

Comecei o drama sem muita pretensão mas já super empolgada com tantos acontecimentos logo de início. Me apeguei ao Mu Chenghe e a Xue Tong, principalmente.

A progressão da história foi tão boa que, na minha opinião, não deixou a desejar. Foi possível perceber gradativamente o amadurecimento das personagens.

Eu ri, fiquei impaciente e também me emocionei com as diversas situações das personagens.

Não imaginava que ficaria até o final porque já pelo episódio 20 tava tudo muito estranho, e acho que foi essa a ideia mesmo. A Xue Tong se redescobrindo, crescendo. Mas continuei porque, como disse, me apeguei a ela. E ainda bem que continuei! Eu me surpreendi com o final.

In general, the history is pretty good and the lead couple are really cute but, the ending was rushed and this is a bit annoying, i had to search on fansubs sites to find the 3 specials episode. I had passed some parts because i was frustraded, i did not know if the main couple would really be together and the secondary chracter, Liu Qi really annoy me, i mean, he was stalking Xue Tong and watching her going to the shower room, chasing her until in class even though she made it very clear that she was irritated by that, why did he continued chasing her when he broke her heart trying to make her get her own friend to him? He was really selfish, but im happy he matured.

Now Bai Lin was the most selfish at all, treating her boyfriend as an slave, her only personality trace was skip class and make her friends cover her while she only want to have fun without carrying about the studies, and her friends never said or tryed to make her change this kind of life, and the same happened to QiQi, dating with an married man? She knows what she did, and her friends only comforted her. And because of him, she lost the chance to be next to someone who really liked her not only this, but messed with her studies, and the married guy? He really stressed me, seriously, i hated him, i hope he spend his entire life alone, to not do this with someone, specially with an wife.

I have nothing to say about Xiao Tong, she is really strong and have an good personality, one of my favorites!!!!

Now... Mu Cheng He and Xue Tong, I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE I WAS ANXIOUS TO KNOW IF THEY REALLY WERE TOGETHER IN THE END, they are cute together, when ChengHe became so obssessed with his work i knew that something would happen, Xue Tong worried about him but he though have an girlfriend is just happiness, but the time he spend on germany helped him to mature a lot and think about. While this, Xue Tong was only pretending she really moved on, focusing on her studies and postgraduation, she grew a lot, but the memorys of ChengHe never left her, and she know and Liu Qi knew about it.

The soundtrack is good too, you may not noticy but OST were cute

The main thing that really frustraded me was the fast and rushed ending, not explaining well what happened before, how Mu Cheng and Xue Tong end together, you have to watch the specials episodes to know better about the relacionship of all the 3 girls.

En general me cuesta más ver dramas chinos que de otros países pero tengo que decir que este vale la pena. Hay una historia central muy creïble que se cuece a fuego lento y que hace que te enamores también tú. El protagonista para mi sobresale en toda la trama. Me encanta su personaje y su sonrisa. Actual y eso sí un poco puritana. No esperéis besos en cada capítulo ni escenas de cama. Va más sobre sentimientos y en eso sí que fluye muy bien la historia. Además también hay varias historias paralelas muy interesantes y las 4 historias de amor tienen dificultades grandes y tienen en común que la amistad será su salvaguarda.
