Drama Digest

What happens when a somewhat long forgotten crush resurfaces in your life, in the most unexpected way? Famous voiceover actresses, Ruan Zhi definitely knows the answer to that. When going for her best friend, Ye Tao Tao’s birthday party, her university crush was the last person Ruan Zhi anticipated to encounter. Destiny once again brings her face to face with her old love, Qi Zhan. However, he isn’t quite the same person that he was. In an interesting turn of events, they both end up spending an awkward night together. All this was still fine, but when on returning to the office, Ruan  Zhi discovers that Qi Zhan, someone who practically knows nothing about voiceover, is surprisingly her immediate boss, that is when she has had enough. Thus, to fulfill her desire to escape him, they both make a bet under which if Ruan Zhi manages to acquire 100w fans within a month, she can then set up studio of her own. Although, she was fully prepared and was planning a live concert with the help of her friends, Ye Tao Tao, Shan Zhi, Mo Ru Yu and Li Lan Gong Zhi. Yet, her daily interactions with Qi Zhan aren’t helping her at all. The feelings she believed she was over with are emerging yet again and are way stronger this time. They even resolve their previous misunderstandings, as they both start getting closer to each other. But there are many bigger lies, deception and truth which threaten to ruin it all. Will their love be able to withstand the test of it all?

The Feel-Good Part

The drama is cute but surely not stupid. You won’t see the main leads bickering around without any reason, in utter vain. In fact, not even once due you witness any baseless hatred between them. The portrayal of character’s emotions is just perfect. Furthermore, the drama doesn’t even have evil scheming villains. The drama easily passes as a peaceful and happy watch.

The Disappointing Factor

The storyline is definitely cliché, revolving around the typical concept of two college friends being extremely in love with each other, but never confessing, with destiny separating them and then throwing them back together years later. Throw a few clarifications and confessions in the mix and voila you have your happy ending. That’s it. Majority of the audience who, now with the evolving cinema stories, are rather more interested in over the top kind of plots will certainly not be satisfied.

In-Depth Analysis

It is an amusing mini drama, that wouldn’t consume much of your time. The drama is short and the story moves at a pace that is perfectly fine. At many situations people might really relate with the characters and the nostalgia of young love is certain to hit you. Being extremely in love with someone and yet having to let them slip through your finger right in front of your eyes, is something that many of us have faced often in our lives. The drama is definitely a treat for hopeless romantics. Thus, the joy of finally attaining your one true love, regardless of all the tests that destiny puts you through, and even after you thought that you probably lost them forever or how it would never work out, is guaranteed to overwhelm the audience.

Star Power

‘Ming Liang’ plays the role of Qi Zhan and ‘Wang Mo Han’ plays the role of You Ruan Zhi. Both of them are extremely cute and the chemistry between them is heartwarming. Other then them, the cast also includes, ‘Alex Le,’ ‘Fang Xiao Dong,’ ‘Jiang Hao,’ etc.

Overall Opinion 

It is a decent drama that doesn’t asks for much time commitment and is undoubtedly, a good animate storyline, which will take you away from your daily dramatic life.
