Zhao Zhao and Mumu Never to Part
I've been hooked with other dramas before and I always love the feeling of finishing it and find a happy ending. This is one of those moments. I've read the novel and fell in love because I couldn't wait for the rest of the episodes. The drama followed the novel closely with elements added and a few details taken. I can say its almost a 1:1 adaptation except for the last parts.This story took me through the whole life of Zhao and Mu and told through Mu's perspective that's why we can't see much in Zhao's lens but in the moments we are shown, it truly wrecks my heart and Mumu is the one responsible in piecing them back together. I guess that's also how it is for Jin Zhao.
I thank the crew for adapting the drama so wonderfully.
I'm a bit sad they took out the line from the novel "Don't run. My legs aren't good. If you run I'm afraid I can't keep up." from Jin Zhao. That line broke my heart so bad because he had lost his leg with no hope for recovery. But at the same time I'm glad drama Jin Zhao didn't lose a lot and he get to keep his leg and even recover slowly his health which probably took superhuman effort for drama Jin Zhao and even more so for novel Jin Zhao. If its in exchange for having Jin Zhao regain his mobility, I'll gladly give up that line.
Regarding the proposal, maybe it's me but I also like the simpleness of it. Still, I also loved that Jin Zhao in the novel proposed in a grandscale for Mumu while in the drama, his proposal is tied to the keychain, a significant object in the drama and novel. Though we didn't get to see the full wedding, I'm happy the way it ended. I'm actually quite satisfied with everything.
I'm also happy Jin Zhao got a bit more closure and happiness with his mom this time. It's extended in the drama and I'm happy to say it play out visually.
I thought that its regretful that Zhao didn't chase Mumu as much as Mumu did but now that I look back, Mumu had always had the upperhand in the relationship. Whatever she says will affect Jin Zhao and you could say Jin Zhao is helpless when it comes to her. As they said, she's the navigator and he's the driver, without her telling him which way to go, he probably would be lost. And we can see that throughout. Yearning for Mumu when they separated, his goal has been to aspire to where she would be. She's the biggest reason he's the Jin Zhao we know now.
I'm happy to get the drama version of Jin Zhao, another version that wasn't pushed to the point of no return and suffered a lot. And my heart aches for the novel Jin Zhao yet both of them became happy because Mumu always returns to them and lead them the way to happiness.
Thank you Speed and Love. I can't say enough how much my heart is moved by the reflecting light and togetherness of the sun and moon.

BIG SPOILERS!! EPISODE BY EPISODE THOUGHTS!
Dare I say one of the best modern dramas of all time? The tension, mutual understanding, and protective behavior between Jin Zhao and Jiang Mu are unmatched. Jin Zhao’s caring and playful side only emerges around Jiang Mu—his smiles, crinkling eyes, and quiet devotion rarely show for anyone else. They are opposites who fit perfectly. He knows what she needs before she even says a word.He Yu and Yu Shuxin embodied these roles flawlessly. Their chemistry is undeniable, on-screen and off. Interviews and variety shows show their banter and shared energy. When I imagine Jin Zhao, I see He Yu; when I imagine Jiang Mu, I see Yu Shuxin. PLEASE 2ND COLLABORATION!
Jiang Mu is strong, independent, loyal, and loving. She never gives up, ultimately ensuring their happily ever after. A TikTok perfectly sums up Jin Zhao: “Having a boyfriend like Jin Zhao is not for the weak. He’s literally the standard. Husband material. He knows how to cook, has emotional intelligence, can protect you, spoil you, drive, manage time, box, race, fix things, is loyal, brave, strong, handsome, smart, and only yearns for you.” Perfectly said.

The chemistry and the emotions had me omg and the green flag characters
First of all, i don't write reviews often. I only write those for dramas that I geniunely love or dramas that i just don't like. So for me to write a review on this drama is a big deal even for me. ALL of my favorites that i have rewatched so many times i haven't even written a review for them but this drama was insane. Jin Zhao---he is the kind of guy every girl dreams of---he knows how to treat his woman right, become the kind of man she needs and even letting her go to prevent her from suffering. That man omg i can't even tell you, he was so gentle and kind and loving and caring just for her. I can't explain the amount of times i wanted to climb into my screen and hug that guy. I love everything about him. Jiang Mu----she is also such a green flag. After their breakup she waited 6 years for him---i mean c'mon she loves him way too much just the way he does. Both of them were the kind of couple that have understanding between them. I loved every second of this drama. Its like both of them fell at the same time and harder for each other the same way. I don't know how to move on from this masterpiece. I am definitely rewatching this as soon as possible.Was this review helpful to you?
Truly a MASTERPIECE✨ and the BEST way to finish the year
I don't even know where to start.I started this just to pass some time, but man, was I in for a RIDE.
Let me just start off with my new reason for living, simultaneously the bane of my existence-- HE YU. He is not just fine. I've seen some of his other works before, but in this one, he is just utterly... STUNNING. Magnetic. Irresistibly captivating😮💨. The producers and cameramen deserve a raise because the way the camera caught all his best angles and slow motion/close-ups? A cinematic masterpiece 👏🏻 Even qualities I highly dislike in men, he can somehow make appealing-- a mullet, the scar under his eye, his slight cleft chin, even his freaking SWEAT. Like, no way was I ovulating the whole time the drama aired LOL but he was just otherworldly attractive. 🥵🤤 And seeing all the behind the scenes of him actually driving his car? Unbelievable.
Okay, I digress.
The storyline itself sounded interesting enough to get me to start, though I'm not a fan of the Culpa Mia parallel where step siblings get together. In this one, they aren't even legally step siblings though, so that clarification really helped clear the air on their potential future relationship. I quite liked the drama starting off with them reuniting after a long break, with flashbacks aded here and there. I think if it started off with them as kids, it would NOT have had the same impact at all. It's the vagueness of how close they were as children, and whether or not they kept in touch til they became adults, that adds to the tension and curiosity as the episodes progress.
Side characters are always so crucial to a good storytelling, because you learn to form different opinions of different characters who help build the plot in their own ways, good or bad. Speed and Love had such an amazing set of side characters. Mike Angelo was such a nice addition to the cast, not just because of the nostalgic vibes he gives from his previous drama with Esther as the two leads, but he gives an almost mysterious vibe where you're unsure whether or not he'd be the villain. Watch to find out hehe. Otherwise, the friend group and even some others like Wan Qing may not have had a lot of screen time, but they gave such strong impact that you can't help but wish the drama were longer just so they could appear more.
Another small factor that I found really interesting and not something I see in many Chinese dramas, is how they filmed a LOT of episodes overseas. This one was in Thailand, and I just thought it brought such an interesting setting and ambience that filming in a set can't bring. The authenticity was nice, though they did noticeably dub a lot of the Thai dialogue. I have yet to watch their variety show spinoff Thai is Sweet, but that's because I feel like finishing that will really mean I'm saying goodbye, which I don't think I'm ready to do yet🥲
And finally, our leads and their chemistry🧪hahah
Esther Yu is such an adorable actress, with her bubbly🥰 character really giving a strong impression in all the dramas she stars in. Because of how strong her character is, she is both positively and negatively criticized in all her works, but I quite liked her in this one. She does have the naive girl persona, but it fits her character as the younger sister, and there is a considerable change after the time skip in her maturity. If I had to choose one thing that did bother me, it would maybe be how she pouts😗 a lot when kissing her male partners, so it may seem like she's not immersing herself into a romantic scene. But regardless, her crying scenes were quite emotional and I think her performance was great. Back to our male lead😅 He Yu, like I said, was truly the scene stealer. Sorry to everyone else, but his character was the PERFECT "bad boy is not really bad and actually cares for those he loves" with the almost-rugged look as a car mechanic, and then the complete flip when he races oh my goodness. Even later on in the drama when they're a bit older, his style completely changes, and he's still SO ATTRACTIVE in a cleaner smart-boy look... though preference-wise I surprisingly found the former more charismatic and appealing. BOTH WORK THOUGH hahaha 👏🏻bravo. UGH this character will be SO SO HARD to beat in the future.
Their chemistry grows at the most PERFECT pace. They obviously aren't that close in the beginning, but as they spend more time together you can literally see how important one sees the other, and the small acts of affection even before they get together are sweeter than honey🍯 And when they do get together? Just more perfectness.
The soundtrack was also perfect. A different song for a different vibe, and matching the tension. Especially paired with the camera zooming in on details like clenched hands, or capturing angles in such mesmerizing ways.
THIS DRAMA JUST GAVE ME THE FEELS IN EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. Trust me and give this a go. I'll probably rewatch this 30 times before I die. Can't believe it's already over😭

A Perfect C-Drama to End the Year
This C-drama truly stands out as one of the best ways to end the year, offering a captivating blend of strong storytelling, emotional depth, and remarkable performances from its cast. From the very first episode, it manages to pull you into its world with a sense of warmth, sincerity, and charm that only a few dramas genuinely achieve. What makes this series so memorable is not just its plot, but the way each character feels alive, layered, and relatable. The writers have clearly put effort into crafting a story that balances romance, friendship, growth, and conflict without ever feeling overwhelming or forced.One of the most impressive aspects of this drama is its ability to maintain a consistent pace throughout. The storyline never drags, yet it doesn’t rush important emotional moments. Each episode builds upon the last, slowly deepening the bonds between characters while revealing new layers of their personalities. The character development is beautifully handled—no one feels flat, and every action has purpose. Whether it’s the main couple’s evolving relationship or the supporting characters’ individual journeys, every thread contributes meaningfully to the larger narrative.

2025 is ending with 1 of the best lovestory of the year and 1 of the best Modern Cdramas EVER!
I have been in a Cdrama/Kdrama slump lately and this drama took me out of this.I have watched a lot of dramas and this is in my personal opinion one of the best electric, natural onscreen chemistry that I have ever seen in a drama between 2 leads. It is mostly my favorite part of the drama.
I remember watching this and thought that it felt unlike a lot of Modern cdramas I have watched lately and it is mostly because of the location since it was filmed mostly in Thailand. It is so beautiful and it gives nostalgic vibes.
I love this drama so much and I have so much to say about it but I just recently finished it but the words are not quite coming out clearly yet to express my love for this drama. I said a lot in the comments section though
I love the cinematography, the shooting location, I mourned the loss of their garage, I love the camaraderie between the other supporting actors in the drama....
Also I want the people who keep complaining about Esther every time she has a drama airing to please go watch something else. She portrayed a very young mumu and later an independent/confident moment years later like she was supposed to. I was really crying in her emotional scenes....Esther did an excellent job with her character for this drama and I dont see anyone playing this character better than her.
He yu He yu man....what a revelation. I remember seeing him from a short web drama from a few years ago so I am so glad that he got his big break with this drama. The way he portrayed Jin chao who was hopelessly crazy in love with mumu was a sight to behold....seriously what an actor....I was fully convinced while watching the drama.
I feel like I am all over the place with this review and this may not convince you to watch the drama but if you want to see one of the best love story ever created , an insane chemistry , lots of skinships and beautiful moments between the leads , a growth arc for the leads, a great supporting cast, beautiful shooting locations, top notched cinematography....please give this drama a chance.

The plot around racing cars is epic, and the fact that this was filmed in Thailand makes the aesthetic of the show more vibrant, which was really nice to see.
I wished Wang Qin (Sun Mei Lin) had more screen time since she is my favorite character of the show, and Lin Sui (Mike Angelo) as well. I feel like this is Mike Angelo's best show so far because he looks so handsome with his hair and aesthetic in this show, and his chemistry with Jin Zhao is just perfect.

casts are perfect! chemistry is chemistrying !!!
First and foremost, the actors are top notch! I really love how each actors complement their own characters. I especially like Sanlai's actor as he expresses his emotions through his face and it is very readable. I am glad that He Yu is now getting more recognized through this drama. His eyes and lips really show his feelings and emotions. I like it when his eyes starts to smile before his lips.As the other reviews have said, this drama is up to the viewer's preference. It's whether you like it, or you don't.
I do not have a problem with the siblings trope as it was very clear from the start that they didn't have feelings for each other when they met again. I understand why it's weird for some though.
For the plot, it was unique for me. It is cliche, yes. But, you don't often see dramas like this now. The plot is very predictable, so you've just got to enjoy every scene with the characters, don't always focus on the plot.
I feel like the drama was a bit rushed in the middle. All of that happened in the early episodes, then it was solved quickly? Also, as I have mentioned, the things happening in the drama was a bit rushed, but it still extended to 29 episodes. I think it was because they really focus on showing every details and emotions. There would always be a slow-mo scene every episode. BUT WHO COULD COMPLAIN??? The close-up shots would always be Zhao and his shimmering arms. I'm fascinated every time he's shown on the screen! His face would always be dripping with sweat, and also his armsss. This drama really showcased He Yu's appearance and acting.
Speaking of acting, I know that some people don't really like how Esther Yu acts. Honestly, there are some scenes where you would cringe. But, it doesn't change the fact that Shuxin was picked to play this role. Her baby-voice had always been her signature since before. And, I have been watching her since she appeared on Youth With You, that's why I can proudly say that she has improved. I think she did great in playing Mu Mu' character, that innocent and playful vibe. I feel like she's a bit lacking in kissing scenes though. She kisses cutely, while He Yu' kisses are hot. But, it creates more spark with their chemistry.
Overall, I love the casts, the scenery, and ESPECIALLY THE OST!!! The camera angles and lightings are perfect! Director did such an amazing job. The drama is not for everyone, but it is for me! Not a lot of people like cliche stories, but I'm a sucker for these. I especially love Zhao and Sanlai! Very entertaining to watch.
I still can't move on from this drama. 💔 This is the first cdrama I watched after a long long time. So, I'm grateful that I watched it because it has given me motivation to watch cdramas again. I always do not finish watching dramas, so I can say that this drama is good as I have finished it!
Love lots to the casts, especially Shuxin and Yi Qian! 💓

Did I Just Fall in Love with C-Dramas?
Speed and Love was my first-ever C-drama, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction.At first, the Chinese language felt a bit unfamiliar since I’m used to Korean dramas (my only previous exposure to Chinese was through anime). But that feeling disappeared very quickly. These 29 episodes flew by, I completely binge-watched it, and at no point did the drama feel tiring.
The pacing is very well balanced. There’s a lot of romance for romance lovers, plenty of intense and emotional moments, and something I had never seen in a drama before: car racing. I had never come across a K-drama with this theme either, so this was a fresh experience for me. The racing scenes are surprisingly well done and add excitement and tension to the story.
The ML is a solid 10/10: acting, presence, chemistry, everything works perfectly. He completely pulled me into the story from start to finish. Coming from the K-drama and K-pop world, I sometimes associate certain vibes with people I’m already familiar with. Because of that, the ML occasionally reminded me of Yeonjun (TXT) in terms of personality and styling, and visually there were moments that reminded me of Seungmin (Stray Kids). This isn’t a comparison or a judgment, just a personal impression shaped by what I’m used to watching, which helped me connect more easily with his character.
The FL, on the other hand, had moments where her slightly childish behavior annoyed me a bit. That said, it’s clearly part of her character (she’s even described as spoiled by her own mother), so this feels more like a personal taste issue than a flaw in writing or acting.
The couple’s dynamic is one of the strongest points of the drama. They’ve always been very close, even before fully acknowledging that they are not blood-related siblings. Neither of them wanted to break that bond at first, which I found genuinely beautiful. But of course, when chemistry speaks louder, feelings become inevitable, and it feels natural rather than forced.
There were frustrating moments, especially when the ML chose to distance himself “for her happiness,” ending up making both of them miserable instead. Was it a stupid decision? Yes. But it’s also part of the drama genre, and the six years they spent apart carried real emotional weight for both of them. Thankfully, their reunion and mutual understanding at the end made the journey worth it.
Another thing I really appreciated: no forced love triangle. Even though there are potential love interests on both sides, the drama never turns that into unnecessary conflict. This made it much easier to believe in the couple and stay emotionally invested in them until the very end, and I never stopped rooting for them, despite everything that happened.
I genuinely liked all the characters, including the ML’s friends, who were interesting and well-used in the story. Nothing felt dragged out or pointless.
I started this drama thinking it would be an 8/10, halfway through I was already at around 8.5, and by the end I was debating between a 9 and a 10. In the end, I decided to be honest with myself. This drama has everything I personally enjoy: romance, action, intensity, emotional moments, light comedy, and great pacing. The only reason it’s not a perfect 10 for me is the FL’s childish side, which simply isn’t my personal preference, not a problem with her performance.
Final score: 9.5/10
A drama that completely hooked me from start to finish and made my first experience with C-dramas incredibly positive.

wattpad as a drama but not exactly done well..
Unfortunately once again Esther Yu's character is the same cutesy childish like vibes...honestly every drama i hope she takes on something new but....I feel like in historical dramas its still okay like Love Game was really good but somehow in modern dramas its hard to watch...Ok that aside I thought of watching for Heyu and also cause i saw many spoilers for their chemistry online. The plot is really average but the drama is made for a visual feast. The biker/racer guy with a cute girl kind of vibes. But yea even with the visuals I soon got bored of the characters.
They get together in ep 15 but it feels like the director just decided to put all the sweet moments in 2eps, like cliche scenes after cliche scenes. I guess if you are a fan of the actors it is cute to watch!
I dont have much comments on any of the side characters no one was interesting...
Her fits are nice but seemed very unrealistic. Her motive to give up a life in canada and suddenly stay with her bro was also a bit...? cause at that time its not like she was dying in love with him...
anyway not my style so dropping...

Esther is so beautiful in every single scene. I really can't stop looking at her because she looks so stunning in this show. But she is not just a pretty face; her acting is also very amazing and feels so real. She brings so much charm to her character, making the story feel alive. You can really feel her emotions in every part of the drama. She is truly a great actress who makes this show very special to watch.
And can we talk about how handsome Heyu is? He has such a strong screen presence and his acting is top-notch. He perfectly captures his character's emotions, making it impossible not to fall for him. The chemistry between Esther and Heyu is just perfect. Both of them are not only good-looking but also very talented actors.
If you are looking for a great drama with amazing visuals and great acting, you must watch this. My long wait was not wasted at all!
