During it’s release Bai Jingting & Zhang Ruonan were ranked ‘Top C-drama artists in the international Market’. Bai’s role as ‘Sang Yan’ was popular & ranked first in ‘Character Index List”
Indiatimes states that ‘The non-linear storytelling, seamlessly transitioning from their high school desk to their now shared apartment, never confuses you. The visual aesthetic perfectly complements the theme of the drama. Thoughtful slow pacing allows for an exploration of subtle expressions like stolen glances & unsaid words, portraying their untangled yet impactful history’.
After it’s final episode, it maintained 12 % audience share & ‘Top 3’ position among C-dramas for more than a week.
Bai Jingting from ‘New Life begins’ is different from ‘Sang Yan’. Here, he demands your attention. His pursuit from High School to adulthood. He really is stubborn. Gentle, firm.
Zhang Ruonan is a fresh face. She is known for her shows ‘Cry Me a Sad River’, ‘My Love’ which is the remake of South Korean film ‘On Your Wedding Day’.
Both together make the show worth watching.
