In a way, first love never dies and for me any drama that talks about it will always be love no matter how many times it’s been used in a plot. I’ve saved this drama on my list after i saw the trailer the other day.

Why oh dear GOD why must they always style the female lead like this LoL!?

 

I can't get past how she looks like a cross between a mouse & a chipmunk ha-ha! I do like how the male lead is kind to her - thank goodness, although it's mistaken identity again like how it is in Go2 Squid & Gank Your Heart.

[Jafstar 937]

Hi everyone! I’ve come to join the fun!  I’m hooked after watching all episodes currently out, and I’m wanting more!! Is it Tuesday yet??
 

@Latte_Anyday That’s funny how you compared her to a mouse and a chipmunk. lol! 
Though, in my opinion, I like these kinds of dramas since they are heart-felt, endearing, always making me want to laugh and cry at the same time because of the awkwardness! Hahaha I’m so smitten with our quirky Xia Miao Miao! She’s the swan hidden in an ugly duckling disguise. I love her determined personality; it shines brilliantly though the odds seem against her. Even when she’s in a confounding situation, she’s a gem in the rhinestone.

 

Anyone else seen the Thai movie that this is a remake of? That girl was even rougher around the edges, but her personality was so amazing. I love these kinds of stories that show acceptance of beautiful personalities, despite outward appearances being conventionally unfit. Looking forward to her growth to maturity, and seeing the love story play out.

 

Thanks to all who contribute to this forum!!!

Hi @Jafstar

Like in "She Was Pretty", Reba was styled with curly hair (what's wrong with curly hair LoL?!) freckles & she look fine to me LoL.

 

I just think it's offensive is all (shrug) Then again I'm a sucker for these kinds of dramas but honestly it gets repetitive after awhile.. The female lead is always naive, plain looking etc while the male lead is aloof & most times mean. So it's nice to see that he's kind to Miao2.. eventhough she mistook him for the other bad boy, though thankfully she figured it out at the end. I'm glad they didn't drag it out. I just hope she doesn't get too co-dependent on the guy like "Playful Kiss" y'know? 'Cause that's unhealthy..

Anyways, I enjoyed the first ep. so far looking forward to more.

I like Baifern in the movie along with Mario. I am a sucker for such a storyline as well. Even if it has been played out many times over, I still find myself enjoying most of them.

[Jafstar 937]

Just dropping this: I adore how Liang You Nian calls our FL’s name. It would be funny if someone compiles all the scenes with him calling her name “Xiao Miao Miao”.

Yeah I agree with you there! I love seeing a FL have her own interests and growth not based solely because of the man’s influence. And that’s what I see here with XMM; sure she’s got hearts in her eyes for her Senior, but she has her own thoughts, ideas, and plans for her future. She’s not basing her life around his life, yet she aspires to become greater and he motivates and encourages her to become so. In return, he is motivated and inspired to work harder through her antics and inquiries.***One can tell that he really respects her thoughts and opinions. 
 

Spoiler

I love how LYN asks XMM how to handle her younger sister’s tantrums, and then he uses her tips in pushing Lin Kai Tuo to work harder to pass school. lol.

 

***Just watched episode 9. I love how LYN was inspired to use the cooling patch (that XMM gave him) to keep him alert when sleepy at school!!! Ahhh! My heart! He was thinking about her while they were apart!!! So cute!! 

Hi @ash1999 I’ve seen several Mario series, but that movie was the first time I saw Baifern. She did a great job with her character. Loved how the movie portrayed first love, with all of its teen heart angst. 
 

Spoiler

This drama somewhat reminds me of an old book I read in middle school “Winter Dreams, Christmas Love” by Mary Francis Shura. It played out the heart-wrenching teen angst of Ellen Marlowe while in high school. She longed for her upperclassman Michael to look her way, only to find out he was looking at her since before they actually met. 

So it makes me wonder if this drama will show that LYN has been watching XMM all along as well. 

I’m a total sucker for this kind of sugar as well.

hahahaha....well i can tell you 'About is Love' is a lil different feeling....

 

this one is more like your little girl crush brought forward into the screen from the chest......at least the girl is more independent in a sense and she is one determine girl to proof that she can also excel and be good in what she aim and set out to do in....  

 

i love to see the girl growth in this drama on how she start taking care and note on her appearance and the changes are gradual....and slowly....it is almost like seeing a group of kids growing up
