Mais Bela que as Estrelas (2024)

i hate to say this, but the show was disappointing for me

After a few months, I feel ready to write a decent review about this drama.

I confess that I waited a long, long time for "As Beautiful As You". Not only because I love Seven and I missed her on screen, but also because the teasers showed a excellent chemistry between her and Xu Kai — which really came true, since the chemistry between the two is very palpable.

I want to be succinct here. So I'll summarize as much as I can.

The drama has an interesting story. It's standard cdramas storyline, of course. That college/high school love, the reunion, the ML who is platonically in love with the FL and doesn't see anyone else. The SF who is obsessed with ML for some reason. Blah, blah. These aspects, for those who have watched several cdramas like me, are a bit outdated, but that didn't really bother me at all.

What, honestly, got on my nerves was the way all the women were portrayed here. There were only two options for the women here: to be “saved” by male characters or to base their entire personalities on chasing after a guy. This left me extremely frustrated, since all the women in this drama are amazing and strong.

While FL was criticized — whether through the nuances of the drama or through comments from viewers — her business partner made a million mistakes and no one never even considered he was not good enough. Xu Kai’s character was portrayed as perfect the whole time, even when he made stupid mistakes based on his own arrogance.

In my opinion, the drama did a good job of approaching the characters’ feelings and reactions in a more realistic way — the grief, the anger, the breakup. But it did a bad job of adding nuance to the characters and simply condemning the women as “weak, stupid, and emotional” and praising the men for “being rational.”

"As Beautiful As You" had great potential and a good cast, but it disappointed — for me — with a weak script and poor development of the secondary characters (I only liked one of the best friends and the owner of the bar).

Portraying Seven's character as a nice girl and a "people pleaser" was annoying. I just wanted her to explode in anger once. She had that right.

Anyway. Not even the good chemistry and the kisses saved it.

As Beautiful As You

As Beautiful As You não se trata só de uma história de romance, mas também de cultura empresarial e de coragem para recomeçar. A história é interessante, mas em diversos pontos senti incômodo ou não gostei do desenvolvimento, seja este o do casal, das atitudes de Han Ting, o protagonista masculino, ou dos próprios dilemas individuais da protagonista. Além disso, achei as histórias/relacionamentos dos coadjuvantes chatas e que o final poderia ter sido menos apressado.

Mesmo assim, tenho muitos elogios para a trama: Ji Xing é uma mulher inspiradora. Mesmo tendo várias fraquezas, ela era determinada, sonhadora, apaixonada e bondosa, e dá para ver como ela amadurece na história. Han Ting demorou muito para me conquistar, mas acabei finalizando a série gostando dele. Ele tinha uma personalidade difícil, mas era solitário desde criança. Um profissional admirável, mas tinha muito o que trabalhar no lado pessoal e na forma de se relacionar. Acho que ele acabou, por fim, aprendendo aos poucos a olhar mais para o mundo e menos para si. a construção da relação deles é muito boa.

A história prende e desenvolve de uma forma ótima, mas as pequenas frustrações que fui tendo com os desenrolares impediu que ela fosse algo maior pra mim. Futuramente quero reassistir! Vai ver eu vejo com outros olhos…
