Love Designer

IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW

I WATCHED THIS SHOW LIKE 4 TIMES.
I RECCOMMEND YOU WATCH FOR URSELF.
I CAN WATCH ANYTHING BOTH LEADS ACT IN FOR ME BECAUSE IT COULD NEVER BE TERRIBLE.
I LOVED THE STORY OF THE LEAD FEMALE BECOMING STRONG AND DESIGNING AND NOT ALWAYS ACCEPT HELP FROM THE MALE LEAD.
THE SCHOOL LEADS WERE GREAT AS WELL.
THE SECOND FEMALE WAS TERRIBLE AND MANIPULATIVE AND ONT GET ME STARTED ON THE SCUM THAT WAS THE SECOND MALE.
THE LEAD FEMALES PARENTS WERE COMICAL ESPECIALLY THE MOTHER WHEN SHE KEPT INTERRUPTING HER RELATIONSHIP.
I LOVED THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE LEAD FEMALE AND HER BEST FRIEND.

Overall, this show was a good one. You think it's your basic business/work life relationship but in the end it's truly not. You had one big corporate big shot and one small business both trying to make it in the world and the FL and ML met in a unique way that you would say is fate and the rest is history really. They go through trials and tribulations because that's what to be expected but the the thing about this drama is the theme is extremely mature and so it makes it really satisfying, but you'll get annoyed by side stories, the secondary characters and how fast things move in some aspects and how some people kind of just disappear so you're like meh.. but overall, it's a good show. I really liked the aspect of no huge complications, they go through some really adult things, such as misunderstandings but nothing major, they go through work overcoming their personal lives apart from work lives and that's just all really real when it comes to a relationship, how to balance work and play and etc.

I loved Dilraba and Johnny together; their chemistry was outrageous, this show was fantastic and overall you really commit to it because of them. They're great together and the skinship was spot on in this so it makes it worth it all. I also liked the sismace going on, it was sweet, but it fell short because I didn't care much for..anyone else except for the sister and nephew really. lol.

Music was nice and creative, definitely a decent ost.

Overall, I wouldn't rewatch it because it was a little long for me, but in the end, I'm glad I watched it, it was a good watch, took over some days, the kisses and skinship and romance was everything and more to me and you really just crave more and the story wasn't bad at all, nothing crazy, it was just really mature, I liked how they would talk things through and nothing was too overdramatic, it was a nice change of pace for me. But the downfall was of course, for some reason, in Chinese dramas specifically that I've seen, the secondary characters get so much screen time, you would think the show was about them and Dilraba nd Johnny were the side characters. lmao

Products, crazy teacher, know it all best friend and more products.

This is my 3rd watch. And Johnny Huang is still sexy - he exudes masculinity in whatever role he plays, and this drama is no exception.

This drama was good but infuriationgly annoying. 1. The mothers - “its for your own good” excuse for manipulation, control and emotional entrapment to force their children into doing what they want them to do. Such as breaking into the FL’s apartment in order to spy on her and going through cabinets and drawers. The kids do almost anything to make the parent happy regardless of the consequences for their lives and tolerate their bad behavior. I realize it may be a cultural practice, but it’s still annoying. And still going into their childs home and rifling through their papers and belongings when the child is living outside of the home? Ridiculously manipulative.
2. That stupid ringtone.
3. The advertising of products. Every.Single.Scene.
4. The FL’s overbearing best friend who acts as if one must “do things my way or we arent friends any more’. Her incredible sense of assuming she is right about everyone and everything when all she does is speculate. And the way she treats 53 is like shes talking to a slave rather than someone she cares about.
5. The second half of the drama focusing on the 2ML and 2FL, and adding in bits and pieces of the FL and ML.

Good things:
Development of the ML and FL individually and as a couple. Their chemistry was on fire, and they looked and behaved like a real couple.

The story line between them could have been developed further to the point where they eventually worked together and combined efforts to make their mark on the world.

This show is far from perfect, but the chemistry between the main leads were great. I literally watched like first quarter of the drama two times, because I watched by myself and then rewatched with friends.

The story was a little repetitive, because you get the main leads going through difficult times with their career, then it gets resolved and rinse & repeat kind of deal. But I think they did it for a reason, because it wanted to give us a message to never give up on your dreams and to keep moving forward when there's difficulties in life. Then you got the back and forth between the main couple and second couple, the moms were super annoying & overbearing, and the business stuff was so boringgggg.

But I must admit the acting was good, and I liked how the ending made me feel along with the moments I loved. And I like how they didn't force everyone to be coupled with someone. I don't regret watching this drama at all, but I really wish it wasn't this long, because most of it was focusing on the business aspect and shifting focus to second couple.

Overall, I gave it a slightly higher rating than my normal standard, because I'm able to overlook all the annoying stuff & it's really for how much I enjoyed the chemistry between the main leads. Also, I didn't watch the show in 1.5x speed or skip scenes.

Great acting and amazing chemistry

Acting:
I’ve watched quite a few of Dilraba Dilmurat’s dramas and I thought historical dramas were what she did best, especially after Eternal Love. Boy was I wrong! Her acting in this was beyond my expectations! She’s so polished, confident, and smooth in this drama. After watching so many of her historical dramas it was quite refreshing seeing her in a modern setting. And of course Johnny Huang did an amazing job as usual. The whole cast were not only great actors but there was a lot of eye candy. Such a beautiful cast!

The romance:
Now I see why everyone talks about the main leads chemistry. It’s not just the steamy kisses or sparks flying between them. It’s how smooth and relaxed they were in scenes that would make most actors feel very uncomfortable. There’s were lots of kisses, cuddles, hand holding, foot rubs, back massages, princess carrying, and some serious flirting. And every time they made you feel like they’d been dating for many years in real life. It takes some serious acting skills to do that. And I also like that it took a while for the main leads to get together and you see them as they begin to have feelings for each other. It seemed like a more natural more realistic romance.

The story:
The fashion industry makes for an interesting setting and their clothes are beautiful. I liked that even though the main couple are faced with many obstacles on the path to happiness, nothing is drawn out too long or overdone. The love triangle in the beginning (thankfully) doesn’t stretch out for the whole drama as I expected it to. And each obstacle they face, once it’s handled it doesn’t keep coming back or get repetitive which kept the drama interesting. I also liked that this drama didn’t overdo the angst. It wasn’t overly melodramatic or overly sad. There is some conflict and angst but it’s nothing over the top or too upsetting. This drama felt more light and sweet to me which was refreshing. There are other couples and their stories are interesting. The family and friends were also very easy to like, even the crazy ones.

What I didn’t like was how heavy it got into work related issues for the last half of the drama. I also didn’t like how easily the main leads forgave all of the bad guys for all of the crap they pulled. It’s just not realistic. No one is that perfect. Other than that there wasn’t a lot to dislike about this drama.

Overall this is a really good drama with great acting, a diverse and interesting cast of characters, an interesting storyline and some really amazing chemistry. I’ll definitely watch it again.

Yes, I think this drama portrays a realistic love story between two people who have had the chance to meet coincidentally and fall in love gradually. It is realistic in the sense that the emotions of the 4 main characters have been portrayed raw. They really happen to ordinary people. If we take out the fact that Song Lin and Zhou Fang both own their own companies and brands, the situations and circumstances that happened within their relationship is so factual that even an ordinary person like me can relate. The love stories in the drama are so simple that you'll get hooked with how they are entangled with each other. It is not overly done, nor overly dramatic. It has the right balance of getting you excited for the next episode and putting you at the edge of your seat during the whole thing. I'd give it a 10/10, if not only for the music that I think is lacking a bit. All in all, it is a good drama and the only one that has the best proposal scene this year, so far.

Just finished watch this drama and here is my review about this drama:

First, this is my first time watching Johnny Huang drama, and all I can say that he is such a great actor and he has an amazing voice (ps: the ending theme song: "ru guo shuo, hai ji de" for this drama is his song, and I really love it). and for Dilraba, we all know that she has a very pretty face but I just think that her acting really getting better from her previous drama.

Although this story is kinda basic, the story itself is still acceptable. A romantic modern business drama that everybody will like it. Female lead and male lead met because of lawsuit and then having some conflicts and fall in love. For the first episode until 15-20 episode, I can say that it is exciting and enjoyable, but after that the problems occurs again and again. And it really reminds me to "Our Glamorous time" drama.
I really like the characters for the male lead, he is straightforward, hardworking CEO, smart, too kind and nice to be true. He always there to help for the female lead when she need him, but still I feel a little bit disappointed for the female lead because she's not doing the same way. But, yet their chemistry is very real! Both of them done a great job to make us love this couple.

For the second couple, they were cute, and I just think that they have too many stories for the second couple and it make me got bored sometimes. Rather than the second couple stories, I prefer to watch more stories for Su Yu Shan and his wife, especially in the last episode we saw that actually he is not as bad as we thought.
Not to forget Zhou Fang's nephew and Song Lin sister's , both of them very cute and funny! Those two are my fav supporting character in this drama. I really like the scene that Song Luo always teasing his brother.

To recapitulate, I give 8/10 for this drama because it still an enjoyable drama with a great actors, productions, and good ost. Anyway, I just like their fashion for this drama, unlike other CEO in the chinese drama who wears a black suit and luxurious car, the main lead here wears leather jacket and ducati motorbike - really cools!

To cut the crap, there is only one reason why you should give this drama a try: CHEMISTRY.

Love Advanced Customization is the only on-going drama that I followed this month, and I am so glad I did. It was not all for the positive reason though. But I think this is the kind of drama which you have to take time in order for you to indulge in.

This drama, first, is so great with their leads' acting you almost believe they were really dating. The main leads's love story is realistic, the way they potrayed their dating life is believeable. And for that reason, this drama is bearable.

Now, here's why you have to take time to watch this drama: the plot. It's nothing new, it's predicatable, and borderline boring. And that is the only problem with this drama.
I, myself, am lucky. Because this was an on-going drama, meaning I can only watch up to 2 episodes a day. With this limitation, I didn't find it that boring. I enjoyed the chemistry that I almost forget that the draggy plot is really a problem.

The not-so good plot was being "saved" not only by all the believable acting but also the ost. The OST for this drama is very good. It's been awhile I fell in love with C-drama OST.

So, if you want a realistic dating approach in a drama with the best chemistry ever, then you should give this drama a try. My only tip is do not binge-watching it or else you would find it boring later.

I am dropping this show after 14 episodes. It started out great, Dilraba was stunning in her wedding dress and red lipstick when she met the hero in his all-black biker outfit.

I started getting disappointed because of the lacklustre acting and uncharismatic characters. I like Dilraba but her acting here seems off and I had a hard time believing her. The ML didn't charm me at all and I don't get the capable, confident man vibes from him. Their romance has been pretty boring with no swoon-worthy moments or humour to make up for it. Overall, not a fan of the leads or the interaction between them. The secondary couple is fairly cute but they didn't hold my attention for long.

The plot is pretty boring. It's just the same old annoying obsessed SFL trying to create problems for the couple and trying to keep the man to herself no matter how many times he tells her he isn't interested. It's outdated and annoying. The ML in his so-called "honest approach" keeps discouraging the FL. Yea apparently he is doing it to let her improve but I'm just done with his arrogant behaviour.

Long and not that interesting

Can't really blame the cast, their acting was good. Chemistry between leads was good. The story was just a ton of filler, with not much romance nor anything that interesting happening. The initial storyline is mostly about business. It's not nothing all that exciting to begin with, then throw in annoying parents, a bunch of boring side characters, a side character romance, and the same old crazy chick that thinks she is perfect and can force a guy to fall in love with her when he clearly finds her just shy of repulsive and this is what you get. Tried so hard to like, because I like the two lead actors, but the story is simply bland and way too long. The ost is forgettable, and has zero rewatch value. Even tried to read episode recaps to see if it gets more exciting, and sure enough it continues to plod along at the same boring pace with more drawn out side character stories that are sadly boring as well.
