I Hear You

Felt like a one sided romance with plot device rehashing

As with alot of K-Dramas, J-Dramas & C-Dramas, the male lead is a reincarnation of Pride & Prejudice's Fitzwilliam Darcy; the epitome of Tsundere - cold, aloof & emotionally unexpressive. This was an O.K. series but I wouldn't watch it again. Zhao Lu Si's character never seemed to really be that into the romance & again & again you see the male lead being the invested on and doing the "work" in the relationship. Even in the end it felt like he was more committed & more serious & more romantic , so it kinda felt alot like it was a one sided romance .I felt like they dragged this series on a bit too long & repeated things that they had already done.

I watched this drama only because of Zhao Lu Si. I really like her acting. But for this drama, I feel this drama is not suitable for me. I'm confused what makes this drama weird and less interesting. The acting of the cast is quite good even though their chemistry is not that great, in my opinion. After watching a few episodes I watched, I felt the cut scenes were not good and didn't connect well. Many scenes are unnecessary and forced. The story is light and doesn't have much conflict, which makes the drama even more boring.

As for acting, I've always liked FL's acting. ML's acting is good enough but I feel ML and FL's chemistry is not there. The acting supporting cast is good but average.

Besides that, I really didn't like the ending of this drama. Like, well, just like that. In the final episode there is an added conflict but the resolution is very fast and meaningless. It should have ended smoothly but because of a conflict that shouldn't be meaningful it made the ending weird.

Even though I didn't like it, I watched it until the end because I hoped the story would get better, but it actually disappointed me. But that's okay, as a spare time filler.

Give it a try!!

I was hesitant to watch this drama at first because it is not usually included in the list of must-watch C-dramas. But I am glad I gave it a try.

The trailers and the synopsis didn’t do justice to how good this one is. The story is mature enough, which was unexpected given that the lead actors looked young and I have watched them in other dramas before.

I started this drama with not much of an expectation; maybe that's one of the reasons why I enjoyed it a lot. Well, I wrote this review to encourage those who are hesitating to at least give this drama a chance because I really believe it is worth your time.

Definitely need a season 2.
If not, I so want to see the main leads together again.
All hearts for Riley Wang and Rosy Zhao

The ending was too abrupt if you ask me. And also the progress in the relationship should have been shown as it is not like its a teen drama. The story line was good but the ending was not satisfying at all. It was disappointing actually. They should have given two more episodes at least. Personally, I would love a season 2 and I guess many fans agree to the same. Also, would love to see the couple again together in a a very romantic drama.

Ambivalence is the word that comes to mind after watching this show .Lets start with the good the music,fml,ml and second leads,were awesome..The show,was,captivating in the beginning to where it makes you want to watch.Now,to the boring.the,cliches were too light and fluffy .there was no one,moment I cried that,should say alot considering I feel deeply especially when relate to the characters .I immerse myself into the show but this didn't do it for me.Now,don't get me,wrong i get the college struggle but watt was the main lead guy issue.
Now the second lead I totally get reminds me of those days when I dreant up a relationship only to find out I was the only dreaming.It goes,without saying there is no better time like,the now.
In short if you want to pass time .thus,would be a great one.
Ps: that ending had me in in my feelings'you are my dream'.

If I were writing this review after watching the first 2 episodes this would be a completely different review. Thanks to tenacity (or obsession haha) I never drop shows and in this instance I'm so glad. This turned out to be such a cute show and honestly made me laugh out loud at parts. The plot is so very very cliche, fake romance turns into real romance. I have a love/hate relationship with tsundere type leads and was honestly put off by Ye Shuwei in the beginning. It was actually the mom in ep 3 that shifted the mood of the drama for me. I really liked Bei Erduo and enjoyed the blossoming chemistry between her and Shuwei. I thought Erduo and Liza's friendship was so sincere and genuinely presented to the audience. I actually enjoyed the side story between Liza and Yu Sheng especially because they didn't get the stereotypical ending, although I did not like how Liza's individual story ended. I'm kind of tired of the entitled rich socialite being obsessed with the ML and doing everything in her power to sabotage the FL. Although cliche, this drama has everything that makes a great drama: chemistry between the leads, quality music, quality acting, and quality production. The first 2 episodes are meh to be quite honest but hang i there! It's worth it.

Nothing out of ordinary

This show gets boring real fast. The story has nothing new to offer as it was netflix I chose to watch.
The story is pretty standard, ML who is icy cold character meets an aspiring voice over artist and due to circumstances they had to cohabit and rest is like everyone guessed they fall in love.
This is my first show of rosy to my surprise her acting is really good. As she is young and looks cute I thought she will pretty annoying but acting all cute cute (just like the actress in Intense love *puke*) no her acting is pretty mature. Surprisingly ML riley 's acting is the negative point to the show. As his character is as someone who is hard on the outside but soft inside , he failed to portray the emotions properly. He rather looked tired, bored throughout the show. Rosy completely overshadowed him.
Just watch it if you have nothing to watch and have a netflix account.

Saved by female lead acting

If you are looking for a show that you want to relax without having to go through the roller coaster of all the unnecessary dramas or plots ,this is it the show for you. You just sit back and watch without having to use an inch of your brain questioning what,why,how, .

This show has a potential but falls short and hard due to the main lead. This guy...has to be the worst actor I've ever watched. No offense to his fans, but other than his 'cold looks' ,there's absolutely nothing he contributes in the show. His character is like a robot. He is very stiffed. If the female lead acting is the same as him, there's no way this show will be watchable. The whole time he is just standing there looking into the abyss.

In short, The female lead carries this show. They should all thank her because without her acting (other than few moments here and there),she saved the show big time in a way it makes it more watchable. It's like watching a bad show but you simply can't stop watching because there's a little glimpse of hope .

The dullest of Zhao LuSi drama

I don't know about this drama. I think this was the most dullest drama Zhao LuSi ever been in, seriously though, she's not very herself like we knew her. Riley Wang was also...OMG...the dullest character ever. I mean if you're a quite reserve man, you don't have to extend it to become a painfully grumpy - like there wasn't any 'fire' in his eyes...couldn't see his passion to violin either. Even his parent (in the drama) stated to the same effect....for the money Bei Er Duo would do anything to fullfill her dreams to go to Japan for her further training for voice-over actress. Then, it became dismantling her character by rival Tang Li (whose in love with Ye ShuWei), very belittle Er'Duo personality because her side jobs. If they said about lively and funny cohabitant, well there's none funny or lively about it, it's all fallen flat! As we can see Riley Wang wasn't a violist for real because he didn't know how to hold it right even for an act. They both were looking good to each other...both cute...young...on the rise...perfect. Too bad they're both also making the most dullest drama...

Not convincing

This drama most of the time, it was without big emotions and when it had, I was stressing with Shuwei, he was sly most of the time, and his words of love for Bei Erduo did not match his attitudes, he said he liked it her but at the first opportunity to invite a woman to his house without consulting her he did it, without even thinking about how she would feel about it. Bei Erduo was a good character, hardworking, funny at times, cute and charismatic, Zhao Lusi always rocks, but I can't say the same about Riley Wang, he kept practically the same impression the whole drama of boredom, just changed to smiles that showed off his beautiful dimple, the highest score for acting is all thanks to Zhao Lusi for him it would be lower, his acting I found weak. The couple itself lacked chemistry, the few kisses were so-so, there was nothing wow happening between them, the best scenes are of them pretending for the show, because their relationship even off-camera is tedious, the ending was a little off . Finally an immemorial drama, I would not watch it again.
