Si Jin (2025)

Leggero e intrigante, divertente ed appassionante!

Gran bel drama che mai ha annoiato, soprattutto dalla ventesima puntata in poi, è un crescendo di situazioni che presto si risolvono fino ad arrivare al clou delle ultime puntate, che già potevamo intuire.
Gli attori sono stati davvero bravi, ci sono state scene di grande recitazione come quella della disperazione della zia di Jian Si quando viene smascherata e della Principessa Reale quando poi morirà, bravissime attrici.
La coppia non l'ho trovata particolarmente affiata, non ho percepito il feeling che a volte c'è fra due attori che si intendono in scena, peccato perché è una gran bella storia d'amore.
Zhang Wan Yi l'avevo già conosciuto in Lost you forever 1 e 2, dove ho apprezzato moltissimo il suo modo di recitare, la sua voce vellutata, il suo modo di muoversi e guardare le persone a seconda del momento, molto personale. si è rivelato un attore di ottimo livello.
Jing Tian l'ho percepita ad un livello inferiore rispetto a Zhang Wan Yi sebbene sia stata molto brava, ma qualcosa non mi ha convinto.
La storia nel suo complesso è convincente, presenta qualche buco, ma si può perdonare perché alla fine ogni puntata fa venire la voglia di vedere la successiva.
I costumi sono bellissimi, cosi come le locations, le musiche carine ma non indimenticabili.
Cosa importante, il finale è assolutamente soddisfacente! Ed è una rarità per i drama cinesi che, se anche finiscono bene, risolvono il finale in pochi secondi a meno che non lo lascino aperto, cosa che non mi piace.
E' un drama da vedere perché non è pesante e appassiona.
Come sempre un grande grazie alla traduzione del team italiano!

Great chemistry and fast paced

Everyone has different opinions, and that's why cdramas are so great because there's something for everyone.
This drama really suits what I like. The best point for me of this drama is the chemistry between the ML, FL and the FL's brother.
They make a great trio. You can immediately sense the chemistry between the ML and the FL. They look very natural and comfortable with each other. You can sense that the ML liked the FL at first sight, and that the FL only has eyes for the ML regardless of how many men chase her.
For me the flashbacks of the FL and ML's previous romance make me look forward to them getting back together even more. They both are very good at acting with their eyes, when they look at each other you can see their love and care for each other.
The FL's brother adds a nice comedic element to the main duo, and his character development is something you don't see much in similar dramas.

I've seen people say the ML's character is the same as in the rise of Ning (another drama which I liked a lot). Yes they do have similarities.
They are both scheming, have some sort of hidden agenda and control an influential group. However, in rise of Ning, his character is serious like 90% of the time, where as, while he is serious here, there are also a lot more moments where he plays a more comedic or relaxed role. I think his role in this drama is more similar to his role in 'are you the one.' There a more moments where he acts romantic, comedic or even foolish, that brings a lighter feel in my opinion.

One thing I think that sets this drama apart a little is the fast paced nature of the plot. Especially at the beginning, there are almost mini arcs regarding the FL's sisters that in another drama might take 5 or more episodes to see the problem or drama resolved. However in this drama, problems with the FL's sisters and problems the FL faces early on are resolved within 2 episodes normally. I like this fast paced nature as it keeps the plot engaging, but it can feel a little rushed and confusing at time due to the different characters being introduced in a short amount of time.

I also really like how for the most part any misunderstandings or secrets are cleared up explained quite fast, their communication and honesty is so refreshing (besides the FL's big secret, but that's understandable).

As for the main antagonist, I do think their overall 'reason' for hating the FL and her family is not really convincing, but they do sell it well and make it believable. I think this is due to the acting of the main antagonist. She does a great job of portraying her craziness but also calmness. As the main plot and main villains are revealed, I think the story continues to become more engaging.

I think overall, this drama blends romance, comedy and a bit of seriousness well. I really enjoyed the ML and FL's relationship and their trio with the FL's brother. To me, they really made this show. The villains are engaging and it's interesting to find out the reason they hate the FL, even though in the end some may consider her reason silly. The main villa does a good job of selling it. If you are a fan of the FL or the ML, you will definitely enjoy their romance and their chemistry, and will thus enjoy this drama, just like I did.
