What a drama

Great story line, best actors, best acting, a different drama from the regular..
Giving alternative, letting life go with or without mixing in, beautiful drama. Here I would say that watching again might discover details we list on the way… watching again will probably let us understand better..
Enjoy!❤️

Story about life choices of being content vs career driven in a fast-paced big city.

What If is a melodrama about life choices that Xia Guo needs to face and accept between being content with her current life in a small town or being a career-oriented woman in a fast-paced society in Shanghai. Does the grass seem greener on the other side?

My Reviews:
1. The plot is okay. It is about life choices, and it does test one's ability to be content or to chase the dream of living a fast-paced life in a big city.
2. The acting is good from the entire cast, especially Elaine Zhong. She is a good actress who can play both emotional and strong-minded girls.
3. It is predictable because, in the end, I know that her character is content to be married to her childhood sweetheart and build a family with her.
4. The bottom line is her character is more family-focused rather than career-oriented focus.

It is a decent drama with good acting. I am giving it a 7.5 rating.

Good concept, slowly slips.

It’s a very interesting idea! To show two separate lives our FL could have lived based on one initial choice. It was exciting at first, but as the episodes went on her hometown life became quickly boring and repetitive (meanwhile her life in Shanghai maintained interest). I do like Li Xue Yi as an actor and his character here was nice enough at first, but he became very dull. It might be because we start off with him and the FL already together- it’s a little more interesting to watch a relationship develop (like the FL’s relationship with Xue Yu Ming does). But, I lost interest in that as well eventually- unfortunately.

By halfway through I wasn’t really sure what else could come from this. Both realities seemed to reach their peak (proposal & dating), so I didn’t have the desire to continue really. It was enjoyable enough and I am not dropping due to it being bad, I think it just lost it’s charm.

W-H-Y THIS SHITTIEST MELODRAMA MESSY REMAKE FROM TAIWANESE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY?!!

MIDLIFE CRISIS, THAT'S WHY!!=>Just a horrible remake from Taiwanese melodrama, WHAT IF, same title of ANOTHER ME living elsewhere in a 'sliding door' different timeline, borrowed blatantly from US movie, starring Gwyneth Paltrow.

WASTE OF TIME: waste of LXY's talent as his filler drama, like it's FL-centric's weird timelines w/ multiple men & empty melodrama plot being too silly to fathom or sorted out properly, like a half-thought gone nowhere fast, like a revolving door of should she go or should she stay, UGH.

NEXT LXY'S C-DRAMA: skipping over to his next drama, hopefully it's gonna be much better than this lackluster 2 timelines-in-1, gone as "another me" of a double life recycled up in smoke.

RECYCLED, RINSE & REPEAT: way too many better things to watch out there, like this doesn't even deserve any rating at all, totally unwatchable, and NO, THE GRASS AIN'T GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!

FL IS TOO HORRIBLE/UNRELATABLE: FL is just too wishy-washy w/ that other ML, seriously misled without any decency, chemistry or humanity.

NEXT LXY'S DRAMA, like too bad there's NO minus rating/vote on this review site, I'd give it a non-watchable minus~!
RATHER RE-WATCHING IN BLOSSOM AD NAUSEAM INSTEAD~!
DON'T BOTHER, NEXT ALREADY~!

and, another with the following that says it ALL:

Don't fucking waste your data, time, energy.

w/ so many fanatically overzealous just-tacky-wacky war of words w/ LXY's boring simpleton character, on this site, like what a wasted filler drama this is for him overall....

Y-A-W-N!!
