Un départ prometteur… et puis ça s’étire, dommage il y avait du potentiel...

Alors clairement, je me suis lancée dans "Speed and Love" un peu par curiosité. Je regarde rarement des dramas chinois, mais l’univers et l’affiche m’ont intriguée, donc j’ai tenté 😅.

Ici, on suit Jiang Mu, une jeune femme plutôt droite, qui a grandi loin de son “frère” Jin Zhao après le divorce de leurs parents. Lui a pris un chemin complètement différent, avec la rue, la débrouille, les rodéos urbains… bref, un environnement brutal, dangereux, loin de tout ce qu’elle connaît 🚗🔥... Et quand elle décide de le rejoindre, ce n’est pas juste une histoire de retrouvailles. C’est surtout un énorme choc... celui de voir ce qu’il était enfant, et ce qu’il est devenu adulte.

Le drama prend clairement son temps, surtout sur la relation. On n’est pas sur une romance explosive dès le départ, mais plutôt sur des regards, une tension silencieuse, ce petit quelque chose qui s’installe doucement et qui m'a donné envie de continuer 👀. La romance se construit à feu doux, sans précipitation, et ça ne m’a pas dérangée. Au contraire, j’ai trouvé ça plutôt bien amené.

Là où ça a commencé à coincer pour moi, c’est du côté du personnage féminin… Son jeu est très enfantin, parfois même trop 😬. Sa manière de parler, son attitude un peu “petite fille”, m’ont mise mal à l’aise à plusieurs reprises, surtout face à un univers aussi rude que celui de la course. J’attendais vraiment une évolution, quelque chose de plus affirmé, plus "badass", surtout quand elle commence à s’imposer dans ce milieu, en commençant à conduire... Mais c’est reste trop timide... J'ai trouvé ça frustrant de ne pas voir son personnage évoluer au fil du temps...

Le ML, en revanche, m’a beaucoup plus convaincue. Jin Zhao dégage ce côté fermé, cabossé, comme quelqu’un qui a appris très tôt à ne compter que sur lui-même. Il parle peu, ne fait pas de grandes déclarations… mais chacune de ses micro-réactions trahit ce qu’il essaie de cacher 🫠. Ce que j’ai aimé chez lui, c’est qu’il n’est pas idéalisé... il fait des choix discutables, parfois mauvais, mais il reste cohérent du début à la fin. Et malgré mon manque d’adhésion au jeu de la FL, je reconnais que le contraste entre son monde brutal et la naïveté de Jiang Mu a créé une tension silencieuse intéressante 🫶🏻.

Par contre, gros bémol sur la dernière partie du drama. Le moment où elle part au Canada rejoindre sa mère, vers l’épisode 20, m’a clairement fait décrocher 🥱. J’ai trouvé que ça cassait complètement le rythme installé jusque-là... Et même si elle revient après des années, cette nouvelle dynamique ne m’a pas embarquée. Les neuf derniers épisodes m’ont paru longs, répétitifs, comme si le drama tournait en rond sans vraiment savoir quoi raconter 😮‍💨. Ça rabâche, ça étire, et je trouve que ça perd clairement en impact 😴.

Au final, je trouve ça dommage, parce que le départ était plutôt bon. Il y avait une ambiance, une tension, un potentiel… mais tout ne va pas au bout. "Speed and Love", c’est pas un désastre, mais c’est un drama qui commence mieux qu’il ne se termine, et qui m’a laissée avec un petit goût d’inachevé 😕✌🏻

SO MUCH CHEMESTRY AND AN EXCITING STORY

I’ve read the novel, so I was already familiar with the underlying story. I started following this drama the moment the cast and filming were announced. I’m a huge fan of Esther, and while I already knew He Yu, this drama made me fall in love with him instantly.
​The story is mind-blowing. Don't let the 'family' dynamic hold you back—the fact that he was adopted. They didn't see each other for 10 years; they were separated as children and reunited as young adults, when she was around 19/20 and he was 23/24. They both changed so much that the 'family' feeling vanished. In reality, the Male Lead was never truly treated as a member of the Jiang family; he was like a stranger. The only one who treated him like her 'everything' was MuMu. Since they built this bond as children, I see them more as childhood friends. When they reunited, they finally understood how to express that longing and that need for one another, and they accepted their feelings.
​I’ll say it again: the story is incredible, the chemistry is insane, and there’s tension in every single episode. There are plenty of kisses, lots of action scenes, and the side characters are actually interesting. He Yu and Esther did an outstanding job bringing their characters to life; you can really see their hard work in every emotion and detail. I also want to mention that He Yu performed his own driving scenes—he’s a huge motorcycle lover in real life too!
​They both have amazing visuals and are super hot. The costumes are fantastic; she never wore the same outfit twice, and she was always perfectly coordinated. Just looking at her outfits put me in a good mood. MuMu’s character might seem a bit childish at first, but she’s actually very cool and matures a lot by the end of the series. I also loved that they included a reconciliation scene between MuMu’s mother and ChaoChao; this wasn't in the novel, and I really wanted to see it. ChaoChao is a great character in my opinion; he suffered so much and struggled to find a place where he truly belonged. MuMu is the only one who, like the moon, always orbits around him.
​This series is just too beautiful—everyone, go watch it! I only wish some scenes hadn't been cut. MuMu and ChaoChao forever together! ❤️❤️❤️ The attention to detail was great, and the OST is also very beautiful."

Drama yang sangat menarik, sangat berbeda dan setiap episode membuatku terpesona.

1. Eksplorasi Hubungan "Pseudo-Sibling" yang Kompleks
Drama ini berani mengeksplorasi dinamika emosional yang tabu namun menarik, yaitu hubungan antara kakak dan adik angkat yang terpisah selama 10 tahun. Perjalanan karakter Jiang Mu (Esther Yu) yang mengejar Jin Zhao (He Yu) hingga ke Thailand memberikan kedalaman narasi tentang bagaimana cinta masa kecil bertransformasi menjadi kerinduan yang mendalam di masa dewasa.
2. Sinergi Karakter Navigator-Pembalap
Salah satu aspek unik yang dipuji adalah sinkronisasi peran keduanya dalam dunia balap. Jiang Mu bukan sekadar kekasih, melainkan navigator (co-pilot) yang menjadi "kompas" bagi Jin Zhao di lintasan balap. Kerja sama ini menciptakan simbolisme kuat bahwa mereka saling melengkapi tidak hanya secara emosional, tetapi juga dalam mencapai tujuan profesional dan mimpi mereka.
3. Atmosfer Urban yang "Gritty" dan Eksotis
Berbeda dengan drama romansa perkotaan biasa, Speed and Love menampilkan sisi lain dari kehidupan jalanan di Thailand yang keras. Transformasi Jin Zhao dari anak laki-laki yang cerdas menjadi petarung bawah tanah dan pembalap jalanan yang tangguh memberikan nuansa aksi yang mendebarkan. Pengambilan gambar di Nanjing, Sanya, dan Thailand menambah kekayaan visual yang eksotis.
4. Narasi Penyembuhan Trauma (Healing Story)
Inti dari drama ini adalah proses penyembuhan bersama. Keduanya datang dari latar belakang keluarga yang hancur akibat perceraian orang tua. Kehadiran Jiang Mu yang penuh antusiasme dan empati digambarkan sebagai "cahaya" yang menarik Jin Zhao keluar dari keterpurukan hidupnya di jalanan.
5. Arahan Sutradara Berpengalaman
Kualitas drama ini juga didukung oleh tangan dingin sutradara Yu Chung Chung, yang sebelumnya sukses menggarap Love is Sweet. Ia berhasil meramu elemen aksi romantis dengan ritme yang terjaga, sehingga setiap episode memberikan ketegangan dan momen manis yang seimbang.

Um drama com uma embalagem bonita, mas vazio de conteúdo.

Vou começar pelos pontos positivos:
É um drama esteticamente bonito, bem executado visualmente e com uma trilha sonora maravilhosa. O casal protagonista tem química e a Esther se destaca pela sua boa atuação e carisma.

Agora os pontos negativos:
Quem acompanha a carreira da Esther sabe que esse drama passou por alguns problemas nos bastidores, com a repentina troca de equipe e mudanças de roteiro já com as gravações em andamento. Isso ficou evidente no resultado final, ainda mais considerando que a história original já não era grande coisa.
A trama se desenrola através da relação de 2 pessoas que por algum tempo foram criados como irmãos, se tratavam como irmãos e no caso o pai da Jiang Mu adotou o Jin Chao ainda pequeno, então esperava que ao menos isso teria sido tratado com profundidade mas nenhuma relação familiar aqui é profunda. A forma como trataram a Mumu é frustrante: uma garota solitária, abandonada pelo pai, pelo “irmão”, com uma relação mal explorada com a mãe e o padrasto, que é abandonada novamente pelo Jin Chao, enganada e deixada sem explicações, sem falar que ele deixou ela acreditar que o cachorro dela havia se perdido (imperdoavél) a verdade é que Jiang Mu foi feita apenas para engrandecer o ml... em nenhum momento vemos a Jiang Mu ter uma conversa séria com o pai, construir qualquer vínculo com a madrasta ou desenvolver uma relação minimamente relevante com a irmã. Toda a vida dela gira em torno do Jin Chao.
A Mumu merecia muito mais do que um relacionamento que parecia existir apenas por conveniência da parte dele. Em nenhum momento o Jin Chao faz um esforço real para esclarecer as coisas ou procurá-la antes que ela mesma fosse atrás.
Além disso tenho uma crítica a direção desse drama que foi claramente fetichista e sexualizou a Esther o tempo todo. No fim, fica o desejo de que nenhuma outra atriz que eu goste volte a trabalhar com esse roteirista e diretor.

PS: O que faz uma personagem ser boa e indetificavél é ela ter vida própria e isso envolve ter sonhos, desejos, falhas, frustações e uma vida além de uma relação amorosa.
PS²: Esse ator deveria fugir de cenas emocionais pois me deu vergonha alheia.

Romantic Fantasy by Algorithm, Not Story

Speed and Love is not really a Chinese drama in the narrative sense, but a piece of industrial romantic fantasy. It is carefully engineered for a young, emotionally inexperienced audience, designed to trigger pleasant feelings rather than tell a meaningful story.

The series does not build characters or emotional tension through writing or performance. Instead, it relies on visual polish, attractive leads, prolonged gazes, and music cues to force a sense of romance. Desire is not developed; it is imposed.

There is money on screen, but very little imagination behind it. What we get is not storytelling, but emotional stimulation: a safe, comfortable fantasy meant to make the viewer feel something “nice” without ever being challenged or unsettled.
