To Be With You (2019)

This drama made me think that real love maybe exists. This drama made me cry so bad and i really hate the fact that her best friend could do something like that to her. I learn from this drama don't introduce your boyfriend to your best friend. :))
Anyways, i love how Li Wei Wei grew up. I felt bad for Li Dong beacuse he was such a bless for this show and he ended up kinda sad. I would love to see Wan Si Wei in another series. Anyways, i love him.
The story between Lin Meya and Ou Yang was incredible. I hate that they thought they are related for so many episodes, and in ep 64 made up.

Don't let the 60+ eps put you off

I was very reluctant to start this drama due to the number of episodes, 40 tends to be my maximum attention span. However after seeing clips on YouTube I couldn't resist.
The episodes flew by, lots of characters and drama to keep you interested. There were some shady characters but none of them were nearly as bad as some villians in lots of other dramas I have seen. The rich parents actually loved their children and wanted the best for them. Shows somewhat reality of people blinded by greed and making wrong choices. The SML personality was too perfect, it was a shame it didn't show him with a happy ending, although very subtle hints indicate he probably wouldn't be single for long. I didn't particularly like the actors playing the main leads, their chemistry was lacking a little but they acted well as did all the cast. For a long drama none of the little side plots dragged on for too long which kept it enjoyable to watch and kept the story moving. I would definitely recommend this drama if you have time to spare!

? C-Drama Review: To Be With You ?

🌸 C-Drama Review: To Be With You 🌸
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (6/10 — because the storyline had potential but the characters had me pulling my hair out)

Let me start by saying this—I loved the overall concept. The storyline? Chef’s kiss. Emotional, intense, and full of heartbreak and healing. BUT... one character single-handedly ruined it all for me: the Male Lead.

I mean... sir. You were doing fine at first—sweet moments, good chemistry, emotional bonding with the FL—but the second you found out y’all might be half-siblings, you just vanished?? No explanation, no support, just poof—left her in the dust like she didn’t matter. 🤡

Meanwhile, the poor FL was literally going through it. Her adoptive father? In a coma. Her "best friend"? Traitor. Her so-called love? Gone with the wind. She was completely alone and heartbroken.

AND THEN. The ML—instead of being a decent human—went and spent the night with her snake of a best friend (Siyu or whatever her name was). The betrayal?? Next level. That girl was the worst. Selfish, two-faced, and ready to marry the ML while the FL was out there barely breathing. Like, girl, what happened to sisterhood? 🚩🚩🚩

Let’s talk about the real MVP: Li Dong. This man carried the whole second half of the drama on his back. Always there for the FL, always supportive, never asking for anything in return. And his sister?? ICONIC. At first, she was all “I don’t like you” vibes but then turned into the FL’s ride-or-die, protecting her, comforting her, encouraging her, even taking public humiliation like a queen. That’s a real friend.

Now the part that destroyed me: the ending. Just when you think the FL is finally gonna choose peace, healing, and maybe Li Dong... the ML comes crawling back with “turns out we’re not siblings after all!” and BAM—they get married. Like… EXCUSE ME??? He left you when you were shattered and now you’re just gonna be like “okay sure, let’s get hitched”? 💀

No closure, no growth arc, just vibes and poor decisions.

So yeah—To Be With You had everything: potential, heartbreak, great side characters. But the ML and the FL’s “best friend” absolutely tanked the experience for me. Justice for Li Dong and his sis. 🙌💔

What happens in this drama?

At first I thought it would be a good drama, one of those that hook you or that sequentially makes you keep watching. It turns out that in this drama, things were changing as it unfolded... the story was being released and becoming extremely boring. I started to feel like giving up and making my droppe official.
The protagonists: I felt that they managed to show us that there was a development of both.
Where are the kisses? - I missed the connection, chemistry and romance of the protagonists.
At first there was gas, but as the episodes went by the drama became confusing and discouraging.
its was a horror show. If you think you know something, you don't know anything!

Loved it!

I never tire of watching this, but don't enjoy the best friend's role in the last 1/3 of the series. I have a hard time with her character even at the beginning, knowing how she will be later. I often skip several episodes to keep sanity! Overall, I enjoy it so much I would like to add it to my DVD collection with English subtitles, but haven't been able to locate it. Any ideas? Is there an emotion that is not touched in this series? ! I also have a fascination with the architecture of Lin Meia's home and neighborhood. Start to finish, it is complex and well-done.
