Synopsis: A child prodigy’s childhood changes completely when she finally makes a friend. Will this friendship survive despite the distance and the passage of time? Could it turn into love?
Where to watch: iQIYI
Would I watch it again? Yes, without a doubt.
Opinion: The story is super cute; it has the classic moments of heartache, but nothing that’s too painful to watch. It takes a while to unfold because it covers the entire timeline—it’s a very detailed story that leaves no room for doubt.
Final thoughts that may contain spoilers: I love that the main couple’s love is pure and true; they know each other very well and care deeply for one another. I think we can see a true balance—both sides love each other equally. A romance between someone with a high IQ and someone with high EQ is usually frustrating, but as soon as she—the one with the high IQ—realizes what she feels, that’s it—no beating around the bush.
