• Fan Shi Ran as Xu Jie
• Zhang Chen Xiao as Xu Yi

This is a really good remake of the Japanese original.  However, the original, of course, is the better one after all it stars the charismatic Kento Yamazaki

I felt that Lin Yi and Shen Yue had more chemistry than Lin Yi and Jin Mai.  So I think Shen Yue and Lin Yi should definitely do a drama as leads together.

Anyway, Song Xiao Nan and Xu You Shu are childhood friends and always fought like cats and dogs.

Some think that it was some sexual tension but Xu You Shu denies it because he knew better.  His best friend, Song Xiao Nan, was crushing on his other friend, Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu, however, was not aware of it and if he does he ignores it as he was studious and wanted to concentrate on his studies.

One day, a new student arrived at school.  She was Ling Xiang Zhi, a transferee.

You Shu liked her at first sight and Xiang Zhi seemed curious about him too as she kept looking at him.
