Sang Chi And Yan Yun Zhi’s Inseparable Romance 

It’s a dangerous and long journey before Sang Chi and Yun Zhi’s fated love happened. Their love and faith toward each other were tested with different challenges in life. 

Sang Chi and Yun Zhi’s love for each other was hindered by their families, society, enemies, and even their friends. As they fight for their love, Sang Chi and Yun Zhi finally see who’s friend betrayed them and who among them can sacrifice their lives to help them. 

Aside from fighting their love, Sang Chi’s childhood friend, Zhuo Wen Yuan (Ren Hao), fought alone to win Sang Chi’s heart. The series also focused on his revenge and how it can be damaging to himself and others.  

Furthermore, Sang Chi, Yun Zhi, and Wen Yuan showed that love is about taking risks. They gave a sensation of power and motivation to the audience in fighting for who we love. 

Love and friendship are truly tested in times of difficulty. With that, it reminds us that life is unpredictable, and the one we trust can turn out to be the one who will disappoint us. 

A Drama With Rollercoaster Of Emotions 

A Female Student Arrives At The Imperial College balanced light and heavy stories in their narrative. The rom-com and mystery genres perfectly synchronized with each other.

And even though there are many plot twists and fighting scenes, Lusi Zhao and Xu Kai Cheng’s chemistry changed the atmosphere in every episode. Aside from their heart racing synergy, the two also did not disappoint the audience in making us laugh and cry. 

I also love the side stories of the supporting characters that connect with the main story. In addition, the antagonists achieved in making the viewers furious and annoyed with their performances. 

From comical to the action genre, the series perfectly transitions these emotions to the story. With that, A Female Student Arrives At The Imperial College is one of the C-Drama I enjoyed and recommend watching this year. 

Notable Lineup Of Actors

The heartstring will not be successfully strung without the outstanding performance of the actors. It is my second time watching Zhao Lusi, and I must say that I slowly fell in love with her portrayal of her roles.

She is also perfectly synchronized with Xu Kai Cheng which is seen and felt with their performances together. I also commend the lineup of supporting actors in this drama. 

In other drama series, I notice that their supporting characters are weak and establish their stories unclearly. But with A Female Student Arrives At The Imperial College‘s lineup, I can feel their chemistry and comfortability working with each other.
