    After watching 6 episodes

    I've been waiting for this drama since the moment it started filming, so I was looking forward to it a lot, but I didn't expect it to fall in love with it so deeply. It's really a great drama. All the characters have their own stories and struggles. You can't hate any character because each one has its own reason. It's a drama I haven't missed a second of. It's simply worth all the time and effort. No wonder it's receiving so much attention even though it aired yesterday. I'm looking forward to every next episode. Finally, thank you Xiao Zhan for choosing to play this character. I found a drama with amazing people.

    Excellent slice of life drama

    Excellent worldbuilding. In one or two episodes I was transported to 1970s Beijing. The cinematography is excellent. Just excellent.

    Fast but good pacing-quick and they manage to tell a story without too much extra scenes.

    Well written and well acted characters. This is what makes the show amazing. With the power of great screenwriting and well written dialogue, you will immediately grasp the characters. They are fully realized, characters with motivations and different paths.

    In one episode, I was in love. Especially with the main male lead. Well done! If youre here for the male lead, you def wont be disappointed (he is so handsome, his acting is so good such a well fit for the young man he portrays) . All the characters were well acted too. I know they took attention to detail. I can even hear the Beijing accent! The team did well with casting the actors and actresses. I also liked the ending song very melodic and enjoyable.

    Overall, absolutely recommend. If you are a beginner to cdrama GO WATCH THIS NOW.

    A Tribute to an era

    Each character has a distinct and vivid personality. There is a particular romance that belongs to this era. I enjoy the small details in the library, which add to its charm. Additionally, there is a sense of chivalry and temperament among the boys growing up in the 70s. They possess a resolute and passionate character, always pursuing justice and fairness. They are willing to selflessly sacrifice themselves for their friends and family, safeguarding that deep bond of affection. This spirit of chivalry allows them to display fearless courage in the face of adversity, never backing down. Looking forward to the development of the story.
