A Romance of the Little Forest

Cute, light and Cringy for a bit???

Watched the drama merely for Esther and got hooked with her chemistry with Vin Zhang. Tbh, the plotline was a typical cheesy rom-com drama and the 2nd CP was way too cringy imo. And the storyline somewhat draggy too. The rating I gave merely because of the chemistry between ML and FL. Their chemistry both on-off screen made me screamed and felt fuzzy inside lol. Hoping for them to work together in the future for historical drama maybe? and also hoping that Esther will potray as strong, empowered female lead in the future since I've seen a lot of feedback online saying that she potrayed same type of female lead character.


p/s: review isnt helpful since I dont know how to write review or comment on the story much. Pls do watch the drama for light and easygoing romance!

stated watching for ESTER YU (FL) because missing her after finishing MJTY ( in which she have totally different role as compare to her other roles ) .
the story is based on YSX (FL) who is a makeup blogger and ZU (ML) who is botany professor . they have already encounter each other in college and high school . there were a misunderstanding between them which had lead them to different path . they are accidentally meet each other and their journey starts to fall for each other.
the leads have very beautiful chemistry which will keep you busy.
there are 2 leads which have their own story to follow. they have little bit more of the screen time as they are 2 leads . i have to skip their parts to watch our main leads scenes.
the overall drama is worth a try because ML and FL will not disappoint in their acting.
this drama is lighthearted and easy to watch .
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CUTE , ENERGITIC FL WHO CHASES MALE FIRST AND A SLOW BURN ROMANCE THEN THIS IS FOR YOU.

I HATE THIS SHOW!

Great cast, nice story but the nuance and execution was diabolical.

The moral of the story is to lie, manipulate, lie, deceive, lie and stalk your love interest until your hearts content and you will succeed in life.

There are 35 episodes at approximately 45 minutes and all we get is the female lead deceiving and manipulating the male lead for most of the show and we don’t know why he allowed it all. Female lead boss was doing the exact same thing to the female lead best friend.

Annoying, annoying, annoying.

We had an irrelevant love rival who was just taking up space and by episode 10 I was done and was fast forwarding as much as possible. The whole thing is not cute or sweet but disturbing that this is regarded as entertainment. Yuck.!

The only good thing was the fl best friend watching go-go squid throughout the first half, which was quite funny. We had this weird villain girl plotting and scheming, but the whole thing was very meh!
We even had this bizarre portion where gangsters were trying to make money from the conservation site by stealing some rare birds. Surely gangsters can find easier ways of making money rather than this very niche and specialised area *I say while laughing out loud* Funny!

The whole thing is so problematic, I’d be here all day listing the issues. Avoid this at all costs.

The script is weak, there are few interesting topics addressed, the romance is lukewarm and the characters took a long time to become interesting.
The direction led the drama slowly and, at the end, a 100m dash. At the beginning of the drama the comic scenes are very forced and therefore it is difficult to laugh. Very few exciting scenes. The editing isn't pristine and the use of flashback scenes is rather tiresome.
The cast is good, but few fit into their characters (too annoying characters), so the scenes are not always convincing.
The soundtrack is good, but it wasn't always used properly to maximize the emotion of the scene.

Professors Fall in Love

I despise lies, manipulation, and playing with people's lives, so it was difficult for me to fully appreciate the drama when BOTH sets of the destined pairs were deep in deception.

The Good: Esther Yu and Vin Zhang had amazing chemistry. The ML was masterful at slowly warming to the FL's tactics. The FL was the right blend of silly and smart to be able to bypass the ML's defenses and win him over. Both actors made the drama watchable. I know many find Esther Yu's baby voice and melodramatics irritating, but she reminds me of my baby sister (only not quite as hyper), and I find her entertaining. I also liked the professions depicted: ornithology and botany. The FL's styling was perfect for a beauty blogger.

The Bad: The secondary couple should have had their story cut in half (at least). Ideally, they wouldn't have had much screen time. The constant captions reminding the viewer that the birds were CGI and no animals were harmed during production were distracting. Flash those notices at the beginning of an episode; viewers are intelligent enough to realize you didn't mass kill a bunch of birds for the story. Also, the bird-stealing gang storyline was cringeworthy.

This had the potential to be one of my favorite drama of all time.

Lets get the complaints out of the way since I’m sure everyone has already said the same thing. THE SECOND LEADS ARE ANNOYING. I love their characters overall of course but not once did i care or look forward to seeing their romance. hell, i was looking forward to seeing Gou Fei on screen than seeing them. That’s how much I hated watching them. The entire thing with him faking needing a wheelchair so he hires her to take care of him so he can be close to her is some messed up power dynamics bs then him revealing that he actually is a leg amputee is just ugh. at that point i DID NOT care. please just get them out of my screen. It’s also the way that they take up HALF of each episodes aside from the last few. WHY ARE THEY TAKING TIME FROM THE MAIN LEADS??? There are literally so many important scenes like the drunk kiss scene that gets cut out to give time to the second leads which. why. why did you do that. the guy is so unremarkable i don’t even remember his character name dhmu.

Other than that this would have been a 10/10, the soundtrack was gorgeous, the main leads chemistry was off the charts, Yu Meiran’s backstory was amazing. The way she pursued Zhuang Yu in the beginning and the way he had to pursue her back after leaving her was so interesting to watch, I also loved the way she bonded with his brother and them being honest with each other about everything at the end, I find myself rewatching many scenes of this drama often. Esther Yu was once again perfect for her role and her chemistry with Binbin was also very cute to watch, I would definitely like a season two or watch them act together again. but really please i want a season two i just want to watch Dr.Yu and Professor Zhuang’s antics and academics rivalry forever they make me so happy.

Overall a pack of family, romantic and funny drama. If you want to watch a romantic drama in which girl chases a boy then you choose the right drama. At last this drama is one time watch you can watch and enjoy.
Hope this review helpful for you....😊

Vin Zhang (Zhuang Yu) This actor, I will be honest, had bad feelings for him because of "Eternal Love". I could not watch any drama he did after that, how silly of me. That meant he played with extreme raw talent and he was believable in playing the character. it took me two years to watch anything he made. I had to grow to love this actor. I decided to watch and am backtracking to watch other dramas that I miss because he is now one of my top Korean Actors. I love this side of VZ in this drama. The botany scientist was very convincing. It shows his intelligence and that he can play different characters.

Yu Shu Xin(Yu Mei Ren), is an actress I just started watching and may have watched her in other dramas but Love between Fairy and The Devil is where I noticed her talented acting. The only thing about this drama is why I dropped a point off the storyline because the producers or screenwriters had her acting like a child continuously and I know from watching Love between Fairy and the Devil, I believe that is not her. I don't know why they made her look like her character was a spoiled child. I still gave it a 10 because I know that both main leads have great talent. Wow both are beautiful looking! Thanking all the other actors/actresses on the set and the team. I felt like Episode 35 was not the end. I wanted to see more. I am going to rewatch this again, one day.
