Fall in Love (2019)

I love how this drama is unlike many others with a damsel in distress in need of saving. The female lead's character is strong and Tang Jianan's (Wang Richard) silly character and the way he pulled it off is what makes this drama enjoyable for me. The side characters story line is actually good and I specially love Ah-Jiu when he gives a very big side-eye toward Tang Jianan whenever he becomes dramatic or narcissistic. I actually want to say more but I'd give a spoiler so I'll end it here.

Recommended? Definitely YES, if you like a stick-to-one male character, a female lead who is smart and do not let others walk over her, supportive side characters and a light-hearted romantic drama.

Re-watch value? I actually just finished it and will start a re-run once it's the weekends to just watch the sweet moments of our main characters.

That's all I hope you can find this review useful <3

Initially, this drama felt like a breath of fresh air. It's very different from any Chinese drama I've watched that's set in modern day. The female lead is so mysterious and composed, and I was compelled to watch due to curiosity rather than any investment in the main couple. Individually they are both nice characters, their relationship is sweet, but I didn't feel like they had any chemistry. I wanted answers about her identity and past, and ultimately found the storyline disappointing and too simple. The last few episodes felt rushed and irrational. However, there were many moments that made me laugh out loud and some fun side characters (A Jiu, Er Yang).
