It starts off with high school classmates Chen Xiao Xi and Jiang Chen who are also neighbors. Xiao Xi, a cheerful girl who doesn't study much, is expressive about her admiration towards Jiang Chen, the popular guy known for his looks and high grades. Together with their fellow classmates the funny Lu Yang, athletic but loyal Jingjing, and cool swimming team member Wu Bo Song, they embark on high school life to university until their adult life. a love so beautiful With that being said, I loved the storyline of this cutesy, heart-warming drama. The cliche style of a not-so-smart girl liking the perfect guy definitely took a positive turn in this show. The transition between high school to college to adult life was pretty smooth, in my opinion, with majority of it focused during their high school years, which made it an innocent and light drama. As the story moves on to the adult life, the relationship between the main leads became more intimate, which made me squeal so many times at 2 o'clock in the morning. Both of the main leads are decently new faces to the entertainment world, and they definitely made a good impression, on me at least haha. For her first main-lead role in a drama, Shen Yue did a spectacular job of performing the different sides and attitudes of the character, Chen Xiao Xi, from the happy, always positive high school youth to the independent grown women that Chen Xiao Xi becomes later on in the drama. A love so beautiful cute, and for his first main-lead role, he played it really well. The way Hu Yi Tian smirks and acts to care for Chen Xiao Xi in the drama can make any girl's heart flutter. I think I found my next man crush tbh The supporting roles might have not done a whole lot, but their contribution played a huge impact throughout the whole show, and it made the drama 100X better. For the parts that I love though, I have rewatched it so many times, and I will never get bored of rewatching them. Overall: -10- This drama truly created a great end to my 2017. The sweet, yet simple story is my cup of tea. The characters played their parts so well, the mixture of the songs and the cute relationships between the characters are too much to be given up so easily. So sad that I watched it in only 2 days. I wish I would have spent more time to savor every second. If you are looking for a romantic, and heart-warming drama that takes place mainly during the high school life and transitions to more serious matters later on, A Love so Beautiful is definitely the drama for you. Hope this helps and thanks for reading. Rewatch Value 10 This has become my absolute favorite drama of all time. I was about to not click on it, but I'm glad I did. The trailer was soo cute and I really thought that the show was airing already. I immediately shared the trailer with my friend and she was hooked in. We began obsessing over when the show was going to air, and even counting down how many days until the first episode would release lol. I think I've watched the trailer more than ten times now just to fill the time as I wait for new episodes to be released. This drama is generally about a girl who is the childhood friend of the boy she likes. They go to school together, and eventually mutual feelings develop. While this happens, a new male student is introduced, and happens to become the male lead's rival there is a female rival too, but she isn't a major part of the story. Although there is a love triangle, nothing overly dramatic or harsh happens between the male characters, except for a little jealousy here and there. This is mainly because they share the same friend circle, and the boys are pretty mature. Also, the story secretly highlights some real issues people face in life, and that not everything in life goes as smoothly as planned work, college, relationships. On a side note, the high school portion of the story does take up a majority of the drama meaning there are more episodes focused on itbut nevertheless it is still a wonderful drama. I also want to point out some key characteristics of the different people in this drama. Chen Xiaoxi: She is a very easy-going, cute, innocent, and funny character. Although she isn't the brightest when it comes to her studies, sports, and other things, she shows determination regardless. I personally think she is the friend people wish they had during their childhood. Jiang Chen: He is very smart, good-looking, and mature for his age. Unlike many other dramas, he does secretly like Xiaoxi back--though we constantly see him trying to pretend to not be interested in Xiaoxi--and isn't afraid to let her know later in the story. I love that his love for Xiaoxi never strays, and in his heart there is no room for anyone else but her. Wu Bosong: He is a very thoughtful, sweet, and funny person. We often see him running back and forth to get things for Xiaoxi and make sure that she is okay. A lot of the things he does for Xiaoxi he hides it from her, and I especially loved the time where he told the store owner to say that everything was less expensive than it really was, for Xiaoxi. He is the guy that all girls wish they meet. He is honestly just soo caring. Jing Jing: I absolutely love her, she is such a great friend to Xiaoxi, and stands up for her friends no matter one. She is smart, pretty, and strong as an individual. Lu Yang: He is so cute and funny. Although he is very childish, he can be a very serious person. He is a person who does not a love so beautiful friendships lightly, and will always help out no matter what. I personally found this drama very cute, funny, and light-hearted. It has just the right feel and even a love so beautiful it's supposed to be a romance drama, it didn't feel overwhelming. What I mean by that is the drama didn't have one scene after another that was solely focused on the main characters, at least in the beginning when they were still in high school. A love so beautiful me, I prefer when dramas develop an exciting plot and not just an exciting romance story. As the story goes on, I noticed that towards the last few episodes where it is focusing on their adulthood, that the pace of the story picked up. Although it did not affect my experience in watching the drama, I wish the drama could have slowed down a little bit and been a little longer. Overall, I would definitely recommend this drama. This is literally the drama I have been waiting for for my entire life. No other drama can compare. A Love So Beautiful has a simplistic storyline but such a powerful one too, conveying all sorts of emotions. If you were wondering how tall Hu Yitian is he's 188cm, and Shen Yue is 160cm.
