Oh my Dear LORD !!!!! GEM

Its been 2 hours since I have finished watching this drama completely and still struggling to find appropriate words in my vocabulary to best describe this drama, if I say it was splendid then i am under praising it.
This show is more than Splendid.
I saw the trailer of this show maybe a year ago, but nothing much stood out when the trailer first came out. Just that the ML is blind and nothing special stood out in the trailer, but there was something about this drama which made me keep checking its on-air schedule date every month. I cannot describe in words that pull this drama had from the beginning.
This drama touched on very sensitive topics like one of disabilities which is visual disability, autism, delusion. Writer has very smartly incorporated these things in the show.
Whenever a normal person sees a blind guy, he usually tend to show pity because they cannot see the world and it sort a makes them handicap. But in this show they have showed even Blind people can live normally in this society but its just that they see stuff through their ears and nose (sense of smell). " They don't need our pity, all they ask is to treat them as equals". what a beautiful message.
About acting: A BIG BIG BIG BIG SUPER BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE ML of the drama Evan Lin. Man oh Man this guy can act, sing, and also looks super dashing on the screen. His visual stand is just out of this world. I kept thinking why such a talented man, who is so good looking made his television debut so late. I guess he was waiting for the right script or this script chose him i dont know, but i want to assume its fated that he had to portray Su Nian Qin. I cannot imagine any other actor as Su Nian Qin. He is so so convincing as the blind person in the 1st half of the drama. I mean even blind person can be short tempered, can show tantrums because why not even they are normal human being. This guy has shown all the emotions so effortlessly that i couldn't believe that this is his 1st drama. This guy is going to sore high and definitely has a very bright future and I am going to watch every single drama of his in the future.
I am not a fan of Wan Peng because all her other drama characters have certain pattern and I was afraid even this character of hers will behave the same and I was right, it happened. But, i guess later they have justified why she behaved in a certain way. So there are no loose ends in this drama. She has done a decent job.
Music: Oh god!!! OSTs are just mesmerizing. Every song has a meaning, reason and the timing it is played in the drama. Cherry on top is most of the songs are sung by our ML himself.
He is good on eyes and ears. Also, he gets dimples on both the cheeks what more can a fan ask for. This guy is just perfect. I cannot stop myself from going on and on about Evan.
Whoever sees this comment and whenever that maybe just drop your other dramas and watch this, you will not be disappointed.

No shortage of CP moments

Just finished watching these and dang, I renewed my IQIYI subscription just so I could fast track all 24 episodes, and I don't regret it one bit!

Overall, it's a light-hearted drama full of cute CP moments between the two leads. I love that the storyline was a little different and that they were all about inclusivity, e.g. addressing being blind, autistic, depression etc. I'm glad they were addressing some real situations. Not forgetting, the issues that most youngster's face these days about chasing your dream vs finding a stable job, the hardships in relationships and families.

I did think for a second that his possessiveness over her became a little creepy at some points (I mean, who expects to always pick up their phone calls) and that her temper was starting to be a little annoying for me (I don't know how Nian Qin did it), but I think it suited the show quite well given their chemistry and characters. Though I must say I was a little annoyed they didn't make her pregnancy more realistic, I mean when she says "he just rolled around inside" and they show a side view of her and there's barely any bump, it just didn't help with the imagination and visualisation of the situation.

But apart that, the music scores were great and I think the show lived up to it's hype!

Definitely recommend it if you're looking for something relatively quick and easy to watch!

I loveeee the OST's. I love Evan Lin's voice!!❤️

Everything felt so natural unlike other cdramas.
The emotions portrayed in this drama really made me realize about how life goes on and the obstacles we have to face. And the acting was really really good. ML was really good acting as a blind person it was so realistic and our FL was a warm and outgoing person who melted the cold personality of ML. They are perfect for each other❤.❤


❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

2/3 of total episode is worth to see, the rest are...

The story :
as the headline i wrote, the 2/3 part of the story is worth to watch. I really love how they falling in love with each other, i love the nuance. i like the FL was brave enough and how she face the world till i almost believe she able to face her struggle even without the ML.
I keep believing that the ML will have a really good reason to keep his relationship and get back to FL and become a couple again
Instead, the drama giving me another classic story plot to make the FL getting dragged again and again and the one who stated clearly about "begin" again is the FL .
i insist till the end for the saken of how they dealing with the mental health issue's of the FL. but i've got dissapointed again.

Music :
i love the ost. tho'

Acting :
the acting both actor and actress are really good i have to admit it since this is the first project of the ML

One of the best cdramas of that time

i started it without seeing anything about it i just found it on youtube while scrolling and decided to give it a try since evan is the male lead and i really liked him in Fall In Love, i also really wanted to try a wan peng cdrama but her as the female lead since i loved her in support roles , and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT i have binge watched it in 2 days i couldnt stop wathcing it the first 17 episodes really felt like a blurr, from the first 3 episodes i knew it was gonna be one of my favourites. Though the story got messy in the middle i felt like it was necessary for them to go through that phase, since at first the relationship felt very very rushed they needed a step back it was good for both of them, only thing i have about this cdrama is that the ending WAS SO RUSHED it was extremely rushed none of the story wrap ups actually wrapped up well, the scene of her stomache ache really made no sense it didnt add anything to the plot . OSTS are one of the best osts ive heard in my life evan has such a great voice it matches very well with the vibes of this drama and 'meeting you' is by far in my TOP 5 Osts its very very sweet it will always remind me of them.

Nope... definitely not a 10

I don’t know why so many reviewers are giving it a 10??! Maybe because it’s quite artsy? Yes the production and quality is quite good. I liked how the drama showed the audience how visually impaired people live their lives and get an education.

But unfortunately the pace of the story’s development was too slow and boring. I understand that the ML was cold and cut off because of his past etc, but his acting was kinda dull and mellow for me. I wasn’t too keen on FL WanPeng either, the way she carried herself and I felt like she mumbles a lot.

Honestly wanted to finish this because the other reviews were so good, but nah. I just skipped WAAAYYY too much. Gonna move on to the next :)

Firstly the actors had amazing chemistry.. the male lead gave me life with is excellent acting skills.. Female lead has always been a fav of mines in any drama.Male debut was in 100 and positively amazing.. The music choice was excellent and adding to scene and gave me life.. the combination of everything left me wanting to watch more and more.. Let me say i didnt expect much from this drama but it caught me off guard wit its excitement. The whole cast was great and storylines was exciting. I definitely recommend watching and i will be rewatching soon.. I LOVED IT AND CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN IN A DRAMA....

I really don't accept a bad review for this drama. I'm sorry.

Let's see, let's start from the beginning. It is normal that there was no relationship between them from the first chapter. That would be illogical and I will explain why.

The protagonist is an orphan, and lived for a long time in the orphanage. He really didn't have a good time at the orphanage, he hates his father and his family. For him, his only family was his mother. He only gets along with his aunt, she is the only one who to a certain extent, always sets a limit, because he is afraid of getting hurt. And he also can't see.

The protagonist obviously falls in love with him at first sight, she herself admits that she is very in love, and he reminds her later when she regains her sight. It's fun to see how she tries to be closer to him but he always stops her. He is not hard on her nor is he hurtful to her, but there are things that he does not like her to do, such as her attitude towards orphaned children. Obviously she doesn't do it with bad intentions, he understands that but he also wants to make her see that these attitudes can only harm them.

Slowly he gets used to her and eventually they fall in love.

She does things to him that he was not used to doing and she is the only one with whom he breaks that barrier and lets himself see what he is like and all his childhood wounds.

Here I want to emphasize two important points:
1. His mother did not accept their relationship because he was blind.
2. I don't know if they skipped parts or are stupid. She NEVER wanted to study psychology, she only followed the desire of her mother, who wanted to manage her life even though she was an adult. Her mother even thought about finding her a job because she "should" be a teacher like her father. Her vocation and what she liked most was music (that's why she was obsessed with knowing who was the composer of the music she was listening to, who turned out to be the protagonist, who always wanted to remain anonymous with a fake man, so that the media will not get involved in your life private) and the locution. That's why, secretly from his mother, she did internships at a radio station. Who is really not interested in psychology, no matter how much they study it, will quickly forget what they are learning, because she did not even pay attention in class because she was not interested in psychology at all and she always made it clear.

The thing about her being childish, maybe she is a little bit, but I really understand her reaction to finding out by surprise that her two best friends were having something. First, because him best friend had ambiguous attitudes towards her and that made her think that he might like her. The second thing, what really hurt her was the betrayal. She told everything to her two best friends and they knew everything about her, it's really ugly to give all your trust to your best friends and they know everything about you but no one dared to tell her what was happening, but she found out by surprise. . The two friends were wrong there, and she had reasons to be angry with them. She then took it all in and forgave that.

Their breaking point is understandable. The protagonist was not being capricious, her father was sick (another bad thing her mother did was hide from her that her father was hospitalized) and the protagonist here did act selfishly. He didn't want to let her go because he believed it was a trap by FL's mother to separate them. Even though she promised to return, he continued to insist. Which caused her to waste time and when she arrived her father was already dead, and she loved her father because he was the only one who let her do whatever she wanted with her life.

He obviously had compelling reasons not to forgive him. And she remained in that position for a long time, it was not easy for her to forgive ML even though she loved him.

Then... well she loved him a lot so she ended up forgiving him. Her relationship from then on was very beautiful and healthy.

But the friends were not there for decoration. Thanks to his friends he was able to find out about the trauma his girlfriend was suffering. Clearly he had never seen that friend that she always mentioned. Which had seemed strange to him at first, but after finding out he knew that her trauma was so great, that his psyche, to protect her, created like an imaginary friend representing his friend from the childhood.

At that moment, he did not pressure her or bring up the subject because first she went to consult with a psychiatrist and the psychiatrist explained to her that making her relive that moment could be very counterproductive for her. So he only dedicated himself to being there for her and that she gradually let go of that imaginary friend.

The ending was beautiful. It allows us to see the traumas that all people have, the importance of having someone by your side to face it, what it is like to suffer blindness, the prejudice that exists behind these people and that love is love, it does not matter if that person has a special condition.

They have a healthy relationship, where both help each other improve themselves and fulfill their dreams.

I really don't understand why people didn't understand anything at all. You just had to sit down and read, it was all written there and it wasn't difficult to understand.

The performances exceeded my expectations and the soundtrack was very beautiful.
And the chemistry between the actors was palpable.

If you want to watch a modern Chinese drama, which explores all this and with healthy love. This is the drama for you. I would even go so far as to say that it is mandatory watch this drama..

What happened and why so many 10 stars???

So first of all: I couldn't bring myself to watch it past episode 9, there were so many plot holes and so many things unexplained from the beginning I kept asking myself "what is happening?" (and not because I am stupid lol).

I had enough of it when the FL starts living in the home of the ML out of the blue and when I saw that, once again out of the blue, the FL finds a love rival in her boss/superior at work, which totally didn't make sense to me.

From the beginning the FL lines were so embarrassing until her and the ML get together, which is when they did not need to be embarrassing anymore, because the plot became more embarrassing instead.

There were so many plot holes, it was like if the writer wanted to reach a destination but did not know how and just reached it by teleporting all the characters there without explaining anything on how they reached that point. And still, at the beginning it was still not so terrible, it really got worse when they got together somehow (and they got together relatively soon in the series).

All I want to know is how this drama reached this many positive reviews...

So, about the plot mess I only have two hypothesis:
1. the screenwriter did not know how to do their job properly (I really hope it is not so),
2. the screenwriter did write a screen for a longer drama, meaning more episodes, without plot holes, but then the production decided to cut it shorter and they cut plenty parts, leaving us with unbearable (imo) plot holes (I prefer to believe this second hypothesis).

Overall though I have mixed feelings about this drama, cause I really enjoyed the story underneath it, at the beginning, the "what could have been", the acting of the ML, the ML per se was perfect, I also really emjoyed the school setting in the beginning, where the ML was teaching and stopped all of a sudden. But the plot holes and the overlooked mistakes/nonsense were just too much... So in the end I have no choice but to drop this drama because of the "what actually is", having to forget about the "what could have been" and reading some other reviews I am relieved I am dropping it at ep 9 and not later on.

I would not recommend anybody to watch this, unless you really don't mind major plot holes and a few nonsense production decisions here and there.

La primera mitad de este drama me encantó, y después no hizo mas que decaer

Decidí escribir esta reseña porque tengo que desahogarme en algún lado sobre este drama.

Primero hablaré de lo bueno, que es como ya dije antes la primera mitad.

Nos presentan a estos protagonistas completamente diferentes que se conocen y se enamoran, muy sencillo. Nian Qin es un chico que padece una deficiencia visual. No es ciego, pero eso cree la protagonista en un principio. Nian Qin no tiene amigos, es un chico demasiado solitario, seco y serio. Es por eso que llega Wuyan, su completo opuesto, a iluminarle la vida.

Todos esos capítulos en los que ellos se van conociendo y entendiendo el uno al otro me encantaron. Amaba cuando se redimían por sus acciones incorrectas (ambos) y al llegar al momento en el que por fin su amor floreció, uff chef kiss.
Al volverse una pareja, Nian Qin se abre con Wuyan y le muestra un lado de lo más romántico y lindo. Este par tiene una química hermosa y sus interacciones inocentes son de lo más adorable. Los momentos que más me gustaron y quisiera destacar son: cuando se separan en el metro y Wuyan se apresura a regresar a él, Nian Qin le dice "Eso fue rápido. No te preocupes, la próxima vez que nos separemos, me quedaré justo donde me dejaste". También, cuando Wuyan le dice a Nian Qin que tal vez no sea la chica más inteligente, o más bonita, pero sí será la que lo ame más en el mundo. Por último, cuando están en la rueda de la fortuna y Wuyan se entera que Nian Qin no es ciego, solo tiene deficiencia visual.

Ya con esta primera mitad de la historia yo estaba fascinada. La trama y los personajes secundarios tenían sus fallos, pero me encantaba tanto la pareja principal que ya estaba dispuesta a ponerle 9 al drama. Pero, tuvo que llegar la segunda mitad a decepcionarme.

Ahora hablaré de lo que no me gustó de este drama y las razones por las que bajó tanto mi puntaje final.

Decidí dividir el drama en dos al reseñarlo, porque esta separación es notable. Debido a la pésima comunicación y un sinfín de malentendidos entre los protagonistas, terminan separándose en malos términos. Tres años han pasado cuando se reencuentran y muchas cosas han cambiado. La más importante, Nian Qin recuperó la vista.

A ver, este era un momento que yo esperaba con ansias porque desde la sinopsis nos dicen lo que va a pasar. Tenía muchísimas expectativas sobre cómo sería su primer encuentro después de estar tanto tiempo separados, ya que Nian Qin vería a Wuyan con claridad por primera vez. Pero fue a partir de esto que el drama no dejó de decepcionarme.

Me explico, después de que Nian Qin recuperó la vista, ya no podía seguir viviendo como lo había hecho todos esos años, escribiendo canciones bajo un seudónimo y enseñando Braille a niños. Ahora, debía volverse CEO de la empresa de su padre ya que él se encontraba enfermo y Nian Qin era su único hijo. Entonces tenemos a este chico, que acaba de separarse de la única persona que ama y en la que confía, ahora ha recuperado la vista y se siente abrumado con todo lo que tiene que aprender y saber para poder dirigir el negocio familiar. Esto, sin duda, lo cambió. Pero no para bien.

Nian Qin es mi mayor problema en esta segunda mitad del drama. Durante muchos capítulos, traté de entender lo que pasó y que no podía ser la misma persona de antes, el mismo chico lindo, romántico, inocente y de cálido corazón del que Wuyan se había enamorado. Pero es que me lo cambiaron por completo! Orillaron a Nian Qin a convertirse en este esteriotipo de protagonista CEO posesivo, dominante y controlador. Sufrió alcoholismo tras la partida de Wuyan, y cuando por fin se reencuentran no hace más que mostrar red flags con su comportamiento. Todas las formas en las que se acercaba a Wuyan y la obligaba a hablar con él, a prestarle atención, eran cuestionables. Miren, Nian Qin ya era arrogante y orgulloso desde que se conocieron, pero en ese entonces todo terminaba en berrinches tiernos que Wuyan podía controlar, nada peligroso. Pero 3 años después, la persigue a todos lados, se porta super posesivo cuando la ve con otros hombres, e incluso la besa por la fuerza! También la llega a jalonear y apretar muy fuerte. ¿Dónde quedó el chico lindo del que Wuyan y yo nos enamoramos, eh?

Wuyan no se queda atrás. Creo que la principal razón por la que aún a pesar de todo esto, ella termina con él, es porque no ha cambiado en lo absoluto. Wuyan es casi igual que Nian Qin, solo que no externa tan explícitamente sus inseguridades y pensamientos cuestionables. Cuando veía todo lo que le hacía Nian Qin y me preguntaba por qué le seguía haciendo caso, solo podía pensar en que son tal para cual. Se merecen completamente!

Mi otro problema con la historia es la pareja secundaria. Yo AMO las parejas secundarias, las prefiero mil veces a un triángulo amoroso. Pero este par tenía CERO química. Su historia jamás me atrapó, ni siquiera al principio. Eran aburridos y sin gracia juntos. Traté de darles una oportunidad e interesarme por ellos, pero no pude y al final me resigné y adelantaba cada escena que tenían. Fue sin duda otra gran decepción.

Por último, quiero hablar de un tema que me causó demasiado conflicto. Además de la pareja secundaria, nos presentan a Cheng Yin, la compañera de cuarto y amiga de la universidad de Wuyan. Nos dicen que padece de claustrofobia, e incluso antes del salto de 3 años en el tiempo, ambas amigas sufren un accidente ya que tomaron el ascensor y quedaron atrapadas por mucho tiempo. Mi problema llega cuando, en los últimos capítulos, por allá del 21-22 creo, nos revelan que Cheng Yi murió en este accidente, y que todo este tiempo después Wuyan se la ha estado imaginando viva todavía. Este es un tema preocupante y delicado, considero que haberlo dejado para hasta el final fue irresponsable y una pésima decisión por parte de la producción. Pudo haber sido muy interesante si hubieran desarrollado esta subtrama en su debido tiempo, mostrando como Wuyan recibía ayuda psicológica adecuadamente y lo que este trauma que vivió significó para ella. Pero eso no fue lo que hicieron, lo trataron de forma muy descuidada, así como lo metieron a la trama repentinamente, así lo sacaron, como si no fuera la gran cosa.

Otros aspectos del drama que me molestaron pero no tanto como para dedicarles todo un párrafo son: la mamá de Wuyan, los malentendidos por los que pasaron los protas al separarse por primera vez, la desaparición del personaje de Xiao Wei en la segunda mitad del drama cuando antes jugaba un papel muy importante, y la forma tan apresurada en la que terminaron todo.

Ahora, 7 de 10 parece una calificación muy generosa si tengo tantas cosas que criticar y por las cuales quejarme del drama, pero como ya mencioné antes, la primera mitad me encantó tanto que es la única razón por la que no le pongo un 5 o 6 a este drama. Si se animan a verlo y deciden quedarse justo antes de que los problemas empiecen, no los culpo(:

Por fin pude desahogarme, esto fue largo pero me alegro haber podido sacar todo lo que pensaba de este drama.
