School romance may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I have been hearing very good things about With You and the subsequent My Huckleberry Friends, which were produced by the same company. After its initial release as an iQiYi web drama in 2016, With You is getting a television broadcast as it takes over the time slot of Legend of Zu 2 (I did not even notice that show ended!).
Although the synopsis reads like an ordinary coming-of-age story to me, I’m inclined to check this out because of the word of mouth and generally warm reception towards this unassuming drama. It stars Liu Hao Ran who is quite aptly playing a school kid since he was seventeen at the time of filming. Leading lady Tan Song Yun is seven years older than him. Age gap or not, I think the whole gang looks cute together.
With You will air two episodes every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 10pm on Zhejiang TV. It premieres tonight, April 10, 2018. For once, there’s no need to wait. Since it’s an older drama, it should already be available online (with subs).

Yes you gotta check it out. I love this drama simply because it’s so realistic and relatable. I feel like this drama perfectly captures the beauty and bittersweet of youth and school memories.
And the best thing about this drama is the havoc environment of Class 5 which reminds me of my old class. Full of fun and troublemaker kids. This drama and all the characters there, even the fierce teachers really makes me miss my old school, my old classmates and also the teachers.
Though there is flawed in few parts..this drama will forever hold a special place in my heart. :’)

Aw, it sounds like such a sweet watch. I usually don't go for school dramas anymore, but I can definitely see myself relating to this too. Must really make time for this.

I really liked this drama, and it does bring that nostalgia feel for the high School days. The other thing that I really liked is that the main OTP become friends very soon after meeting each other- a refreshing change from all the school dramas where hero/heroine are cold or clashing/bickering. Dramafever liscensed this drama so subs are available.

I also like this drama, although I dont really like some parts / the 2nd half. Some people complain about the ending, but I think it feels more realistic and I like it. Then again, the whole drama feels more 'realistic' and'ordinary', like daily lives, unlike other school dramas who really feel like 'drama' *I couldnt find the right words to explain -lol-* . Anyway, this is actually not my genre, but this reminds me of my school days *lol*

I've heard so many good things about this drama apart from the ending. I've somehow ended up backwards and I'm watching My Huckleberry Friends right now and then will watch "With You". I'm really enjoying My Huckleberry Friends. It's a more realistic C-drama high school story and refreshing compared to the cliche juvenile type like A Love So Beautiful.
