The Best Day of My Life (2024)

50-50

"The Best Day of My Life", consisting of 14 episodes, each 30 minutes long, is a sweet, small, light, and cute romantic drama. Although a few middle episodes were boring, the ending was perfect. Some viewers might find the story cliché because there is nothing new in it. High school love stories like this have been made many times before. The plot revolves around a boy who has had a miserable life since childhood and a girl who becomes a bright light in his dark world. Because he is unable to express his feelings, she never realizes that he likes her, and they end up being separated for many years. When he returns, he still struggles to express his feelings, making it difficult for him to propose to her .This journey of how he proposes and how their story begins is shown in the drama.
I like the male lead . I liked second leads' love story .

Circle of Life

You are my origin and also my destination.

Scored 10/10 to bring up the ratings. it's a good quick drama to binge and anything lower than 8.0 is unjustifiable.

Real rating: 8.5/10

it was a good watch. I really love Jiang Zhi Nan's Visuals (Xu Mu) big fan of her in all of the dramas I've seen her.

She's really lovely and sweet looking, I wish the best for her.

This was the first drama I've seen her in a main role, and she nailed it imo.

Even though drama was short, but I think the episode number was perfect.

I just wish we have more intimate scenes between the main leads and scenes of their lives with manman!

Luckily, we didn't have a lot of annoying scenes and that's what makes this 8.5+ out of me.

I enjoy dramas with little to zero annoying conflicts.

Cute fluffy typical

Aug. 5, 2024

WHOA, finally a Cdrama that I finished without dropping after a long mf time.

The Best Day of My Life is a cute fluffy and typical Cdrama. A cliche that is enjoyable to watch especially in this summer and hot days. Can't believe I finished it within 2 days.

First of all, there are misunderstandings in this drama but it is not as bad as other Cdramas. I mean its annoying but it is not frustrating that you would want to rip your hair off its follicles. The plot prognosis is very predictable but again with rom-com Cdramas, it is up to how you feel with it. I feel like turning off your brain and not thinking too much about the plot will give you a more understanding and appreciation of this drama. It does feel a bit abrupt at times since it has a longer time slot and only is 14 episodes.

The chemistry of the main couple and the second couple are amazing to say the least. I definitely watched it for the both of them. I would say, that there were certain points were the second couple were stealing the show and shining more than the main couple.

As for the second lead male and female, they honestly did not bring anything to the table. They were skip sesh for all their appearance.

Needless to say, I had so much fun watching this show.

It's giving nostalgic love story with great chemistry from the leads and touching ost

I'm really glad to have found this gem, the story was good even though it's just a short drama with 30 mins per episode. If you are a love and first sight trope this is for you. The drama tells the story of two individuals who are fated to each other. You might find some scenes as cringe and unnecessary
that make me irks sometimes but honestly the plot and story line is good. The best part for me is the ML's pov his such a walking green flag here one the two leads has a great chemistry as well, also the ending is satisfying for me. I will definitely rewatch this.

A rollercoaster!

I had hopes with this drama, mostly because I loved JZN in WIFTY and was rooting for her to be the main lead. Now that she is a main lead, I was hoping that the story should have potential. It started off great, the two leads bickering, their back story and of course the office setup. However, it all went downhill quickly. Things were happening so rapidly that I didn't even get time to accept them.

For example, the FL moved out of her shared apartment and went on to live with the ML, which is a BIG DEAL. However, in the drama it just happened in a span of seconds and boom, both of them are flat mates now. Atleast it's not normal for me to live with a man without having any second thought.
Then at a point they suddenly got married. Like? No second thoughts, no proposal, no confessions. They just got married. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that why they had to rush the series so much when there was not even a proper explanation of the things that were happening.

The chemistry between the leads was great, but it was not something I would die to see. The second leads were okayish. Usually I beg the directors to give more screentime to second leads, but here it did not happen.

And there were also some unnecessary characters, for example the painter and SML's cousin. Why were they even there? It looked like they were just brought in the story to create a misunderstanding between the two leads. Both the characters didn't even last for an episode, the painter even fell in love with FL but the makers were in so hurry to rush him out that he had to leave the city in just one episode.

The ML did a great job, his eyes are the most captivating thing. As for the FL, I must say she didn't meet my expectations. She was great in WIFTY, but here it felt like she's not being herself. The second leads' acting were okayish.

Overall, the story had potential but they wasted it. No proper character development, unnecessary characters, unnecessary twists and a rushed story. I just wish that both of them receive better script next time. Rooting for them both!

Strong start but falter starting episode 11

I saw clips of this cdrama on Youtube and after reading synopsis, I thought why not watch it.

What I liked:
1) Plot at the start - For the first 11 episodes, the story was refreshing and fast-paced. No over the top drama. I like that 4 characters (male lead Xie Shi, female lead Xu Mu, second male lead Shen Yi & second female lead Song Nian Nian) have different personalities.
2) Romance - It's fascinating to watch 2 different relationships progress throughout the series. Secret crush/fake relationship vs bad first impression turned friends turned lovers. I personally enjoyed the latter, which was demonstrated by the second leads. We see Song Nian Nian and Shen Yi going through hardship together therefore they were more believable and dynamic compared to Xu Mu-Xie Shi's relationship.
3) Shen Yi characterisation - It's great to see his character grow throughout the series. He started off as goofy rich kid trying to regain daddy's approval and money but he wasn't a slacker. He worked hard and what surprised me most is his kind heart. He helped and supported Xie Shi and Song Nian Nian.
4) Song Nian Nian characterisation - I like that she's sensible despite being a writer i.e. she's not caught up in her own bubble or fiction. She is aware and attuned to her feelings and surroundings. She is a good friend to both Xu Mu and Shen Yi.
5) Zhang Yao - Wow, I was blown away by Sheng Yi Chen's face. What an arresting beauty! His eyes were magnetic and I like his subtlety in both facial expressions and actions.
6) Xu Mu's colleagues - It was fun to watch Zhao Yu Si, Qin Xiao Ke, Mr Liao and even the annoying rival Fang Jing Jing in and out of the office.
7) Zhang Jiong Min - I like his facial expression especially the smirk. He reminds me of Korean idol Lee Jeonghyeon of EVNNE. His character is quiet but there is intrigue.

What I disliked:
1) Plot at the end - I was infuriated with Xu Mu in episode 10. The lack of communication led to misunderstanding and seriously I don't understand the reason for accepting Xie Shi's marriage proposal. I also found that the main couple lost their spark after that debacle.
2) Xu Mu characterisation - She didn't grow as much as other characters. She liked to assume things without proper communication with Xie Shi. Perhaps her character hated confrontation but her assumptions led to misunderstandings. Once is fine but she repeated it again in episode 14.

Favourite scene:
When Song Nian Nian realised how much Shen Yi has done for her and was overwhelmed by his love.

It is like every other average fluffy romantic C-drama with nothing new to offer

The drama doesn't bring you anything new or out of the box but is like every other cute fluffy generic dramas that you have seen before many times. The same ML and FL meeting one another after along time, same unidimensional SML being added only to create misunderstandings, a secondary couple created to utilize the rest of episode's time, same lack of communication and unnecessary dragging of the story.

The actors have done good with their roles. The roles and characters weren't something with much emotional arcs to offer but are unidimensional so were pulled of good.

I dropped it after E11 as it is just lame and boring to watch.

The only reason to watch this drama is if you are a fan of the actors or you love these average cute fluffy tropes otherwise this drama can be skipped.
