just a heads up, this is my personal take!
started watching: june 2this drama is so painfully realistic, i was literally bawling the moment they said goodbye, like why didn’t they just try to make it work? why didn’t they fight harder? why didn’t they say, “let’s at least try”? and yet… i know EXACTLY WHY. i hate that i understand. i hate that their reasons make sense, cause sometimes love alone isn’t enough. sometimes letting go is the only way to protect what you had. there were these moments when one of them would glance at the other when they weren’t looking, just to memorize them one last time or when they tried to smile even when everything inside them was crumbling.
today is june 7 and i just finished watching it last night (june 6) but i couldn’t bring myself to review it right away. i still feel so empty. it’s like i left a piece of myself in that drama.
as much as i loved WIFTY (my top 1), Be Passionately in Love hit me on an entirely different level. yes, WIFTY was perfect, comforting, beautifully written but Be Passionately in Love was imperfect in the most human way. and maybe that’s exactly why i loved it even more. it wasn’t trying to be flawless. it was messy, it was complicated, it was emotional. it showed love in its rawest, most vulnerable form.
a lot of people online were saying the female lead ruined the drama by not allowing kissing scenes but honestly? that didn’t bother me at all. not one bit. because the chemistry was still so alive. the tension. the yearning. the way they looked at each other like the world had stopped moving. the flirting. the way their eyes said everything their lips never had to. THAT did it for me. especially Wang Anyu’s eyes, the way he stares, like he’s holding back lifetimes of pain and love all at once… tore me up fr.
what i appreciated most was how the story didn’t drag their pain forever, it resolved their traumas. it was so intentionally paced, healing happened at the right moments, not too early, not too late. everything fell into place like it was meant to.
i didn’t even realize i was crying at first. deep down, i recognized that kind of ache. that fear of letting love in, only to possibly lose it again... hits a little too close.

A bit disappointment the way there's no actual kissing scene
I love the story and how they act the drama to the end , it's just that it's feel a bit off as there's no actual intimate contact the leads at all. There is but not to the point of passionate love at all, I love the FL act but I think she doesn't show enough emotion for her role and wang anyu acting is really good it may not be the best but alteast on top. He was really good expressing his emotions that the one who is watching him got really affected, the way he smiles, and cry. But overall it was good I enjoyed the way wang anyu leads the drama ☺️Was this review helpful to you?
Romance drama? That's a ques mark
Ok so let me get the fact straight here with no lemgthy reviews just a quick peek a poo.The storyline is good with great potential like amy other chinese romance drama. So, you are gusessing why the rating is low. Then probable coz of cast. The FL is robot given his character the expression is null. Though they have good face cards that's the only bonus they got viewers but coz of FL mute expressions.
Romance scenes: yes they have romance scenelike holding hands, hugs, quality time the most teenagers desire. 0 kissing scene coz teh actress didn't want to have 1.
Waste of the potential of a good writing

The good things is this is one of drama that I like almost all of the OST. Wang Anyu eyes is speaking to me. Liu Haochun potray Xu Zhi character so good. To people that said FL is rude than I can guess what drama you usually watch. Xu Zhi is not your usually FL in romance Cdrama. Xu zhi is not love brainsick FL. She is focus to her goal. Her career, but she is not denying her feeling too. To her, relationship is progressing development together. I do feel sad too though in the basketball scene when CLZ get angry because TX come to see FL. But its ok, its not because she is cheating or purposely hurting CLZ. She doesn't realize how insecure actually CLZ despite how relaxed he is look. It's the flaw of the character and it's make her human. Character need flaw to make it feel real

Passionately in Love Limited... :(
Cute introduction to our cast.Interesting plot so far...into episode 4.
All finished. Overall, I watched it. Probbably will not rewatch.
I enjoyed Wang AnYu charater developments. It really brought out the challenges he faced and a lost child trying to understand what to do between parental respect and self respect.
As for Lui HoaCun i still feel her charater was strategacally portrayed to be a withdrawn reserved female to reflect the challenges of her charater, However, the character arc remained hit and miss. Just when i felt her charater was maturing she would revert to the early charaterization. *Not so great for story arc and CP chemsitry credibility.
Others mentioned the lack of credible chemistry or lack of kisses for the CP. Apparently there was new C-drama reguations for "underage charaters" but even the intimate emotional connections seemed to be carried by the ML. Less portrayal of mutual love or trust between the CP's.
Yes, there is a happy ending in the very last episode. but ends up rushing to explain how they fullfill staying together and move into next stage of their life.

A Wonderful Blend of Old and New Generation Concept.
I believe this makes the story more interesting: the CP explicitly reduces the romance aspect to help young viewers understand that, even when dating and filled with passion, the best way to approach a relationship is to keep it simple and a bit grounded. While the novel may contain steamy scenes, the focus of the series is on personal growth. The steamy elements are toned down to make the story more suitable for today's youth, allowing teenagers to learn valuable lessons in a time when many topics are more open and less taboo. Personally, I would prefer to share stories like this with my younger siblings.Was this review helpful to you?

Passionately in love what now? Not at all
I dropped this after multiple kiss scenes that were zero kissing.Please China stop casting girls who refuse to kiss in your romance dramas. Like minimal kissing is ok when the story is written well, but cutting away when a kiss is about to start and giving us the sky or a tree and then expecting us to feel and chemistry or sizzle, um no, it died a sudden death.
The story isn’t even strong. It’s been a struggle to even watch up to this point, I don’t want to even waste my time any more because thats what this feels like. I total waste of time. Even the ML can’t salvage this one. Disaster drama.
Dropped.

Enviable Relationships, Good Chemistry
Summary >>This drama takes some time with its scrupulous, mindful characters. You will have to be patient with these often-times customary and habitual activities. However, the execution definitely stands apart from many other dramas. This drama screams about beauty in simplicity. All kinds of relationships, be it young lovers or familial consideration are very well presented in this work.
CHARACTERS >>
Xu Zhi: She is the charming, single, desirable, but disengaged girl. Our FL surely likes to compete doesn't matter if you're her boyfriend. However, she remains indifferent and is unable to read the emotions of people around her. Sometimes she is so objective and straightforward with her words that you are better off with a bitter medicine. Things start to change when she realizes she has feelings for the talented, responsible and mature Chen Lu Zhou
Chen Lu Zhou: The humble and unbeknownst topper from the No.1 high school in town. He tries to continue his life on the pre-decided path laid by his parents, only to encounter a smart and beautiful Xu Zhi. His relationship with his family may appear tumultous on the surface but is actually caring and well-wishing. His relationship with his mother doesn't appear to be good but both care about each other deeply.
Zhu Yang Qi: He is the friend naturally suited to partner with someone like CLZ. He doesn't hide any emotions... not for long at least. He is trying to heat up what would be the perfect pork and sauce that would refuse to be mixed. He along with his new bestie, makes things lively and excitable.
Cai Ying Ying: If you found her more attractive than Xu Zhi you won't be the only one in the room. Cai Ying Ying is the cute, encouraging best friend everyone would love to have, boys and girls alike.
The two dad-daughter pairs show contrasting but caring and meaningful relationships. The two doctor dads are very proud of their daughters. The healthy yet unrestrictive approach of Dr. Xu's parenting towards Xu Zhi is really satisfying to watch. The scenes where all four of these are present are very cheerful.
The anticipation of the two leads towards one another is quite natural to understand the other without even talking since both of them are very smart people. While, on the other hand, Zhu Yang Qi and Cai Ying Ying don't quite understand when they start liking each other when most of their actions are to bring their best friends together. Both of them are easy-going, fun-loving and good-natured individuals that are ignorant of each other's feelings.

It starts to be bad around episode 15
I like the story for the most part. The acting by the main lead actor was really good. It is really bizarre about the romance scene and the word passionate in this movie. Definitely did not add up together. I felt zero passion in this movie and did not want to root for the characters.. I'm not discussing the fact that there was no kissing scenes which was not really that important to begin with because there was no passion to be felt !! I forced myself to finish the last two episode and actually skip the romantic scenes. You know a movie is not that great when you have to skip romantic scenes to get through with them. The end of the movie seem like fillers. Honestly would skip this movie. Probably should have stopped watching it after episode 15. The female lead had some drama with her deceased mother that I could not follow well. It wasn't a significant portion of the movie. Besides that, she wanted to be an architect like her mother. At the end it seemed kind of sloppy that they kind of tried to resolve that on the last episode. I also felt that the tension between the male lead and his father was not resolved either and was brushed aside. Definitely a 5 out of 10 movie.Was this review helpful to you?
Overall it's quite cute and easy to watch.
I honestly had no intention of watching this drama at first, but the number of people calling it a disappointment made me curious 💀.Surprisingly, it turned out to be quite cute! It’s the kind of show that works perfectly as background noise while you're doing other things, but I actually found myself getting invested in the story. I really enjoyed the OST; even though it was played often, I didn’t mind because it was genuinely nice.
The visuals were decent enough, but the overall experience could’ve been improved with better direction and editing.
I really liked the first couple, they were adorable together. From their first meeting and small misunderstandings to the romance, the breakup letter, and the sweet university moments… their journey felt warm and comforting. And their hugs were so soft.
I get why some people were disappointed by the lack of a kiss, but personally, I didn’t have an issue with it.
The second couple might’ve been my favorite though! I loved their friendship stage, they had such a playful and affectionate dynamic, and he treated her so well. They were seriously cute.
The friendship among the whole group was another highlight for me. It added a nice layer of warmth to the story overall.

"There is no real despair in this world, only prisoners of thoughts". -some writer.
But honestly I actually find this show to be of a fine kind where everything just blends in like being fun goofy around each other joking and then acting like a clingy couple at times it felt too beautiful to be true, yet at times I felt the urge inside a person to hold themselves back willingly as well. Most of all the couple has great chemistry and did felt a little distant feeling between them at some points but the main point of the drama was very well expressed. It was really fun to watch tho not the type to keep me at the edge of my chair but worth the time.Was this review helpful to you?
