the title doesn’t do it justice
In the wise words of pep guardiola “we cannot replace him”. This was the most perfectly casted cast to ever been cast. The director took a somewhat ordinary story and setup and gave us an extraordinary, cinematic, emotional and hilarious 26 episode run. Amazing job from the cast and film crew, I’m so glad I gave this a chance, I have no critiques whatsoever.Was this review helpful to you?
Stumbled on it and happy I did
I thought that the storyline was intricate and interesting. First C drama in a while that had both a great ML and FL and didn't seem over the top. The friendships and family dynamics were great. Their affection for each other did not in the least bit seem forced or unbelievable. I looked forward to each episode and that doesn't happen very often. It just seemed like genuine love and care from main roles and even supporting roles.Was this review helpful to you?
How a toxic parent destroys their child
PLOT: The FL quits a great job in the city and returns to her (small) hometown. She finds her family, who are eager to marry her off, and escapes by moving into the old house. The ML, a depressed / introverted musician with a lot of trauma, is her neighbor (taciturn, mysterious). She wants to help him and tries everything to get closer to him.+++ Super CL, very natural, with Bi Wen Jun & Zhang Yu Xi ✩₊˚.⋆🕸️⋆⁺₊✧ These two actors superbly bring their complex, vulnerable, painful, and moving characters to life.
The tone is quite dark because the series talks a lot about trauma, suicide, depression, etc.
+++ Beautiful direction: pacing, sets, lighting, OSTs
+++ Excellent cast with talented actors who bring endearing characters to life: particularly Ya En and Kai Ran (CL2), but more, the ML's grandmother who lights up this series ✩₊˚.⋆🕸️⋆⁺₊✧
### The ML's mother's motivations are ridiculous, insane, and unreasonable. This part is poorly written; whether it's her hatred for the FL's mother or for her son, it doesn't make sens !!
### No communication, no trust: "To protect each other," FL & ML keep quiet, hide, and dissemble. It's okay to watch this happens at the beginning of their relationship, but it's human. At that point, everyone wants to show only the best of themselves. But when they live together, get married, and fall in love, this behavior becomes toxic (and boring for the viewer).
=> A very beautiful series (if you overlook a few inconsistencies) with exceptional actors 🥰🥰🥰
*************************************************
PLOT: La FL démissionne d'1 super boulot en ville, et rentre dans sa (petite) ville natale. Elle retrouve sa famille qui a hâte de la marier, et la fuit en s'installant ds la vieille maison. Le ML, musicien dépressif avec traumas +++, est son voisin (taciturne, mystérieux). Elle veut l'aider et tente par tous les moyens de se rapprocher de lui.
+++ Super CL, très naturel, avec Bi Wen Jun & Zhang Yu Xi ✩₊˚.⋆🕸️⋆⁺₊✧ Ces 2 acteurs font superbement vivre leurs personnages complexes, vulnérables, douloureux, émouvants.
Ton assez sombre car la série parle bcp de traumas, de suicide, de dépression, etc.
+++ Belle réalis° : rythme, décors, lumières, OSTs
+++ Excellent cast avec des acteurs talentueux qui donnent vie à des personnages attachants : particulièrement Ya En et Kai Ran (CL2), mais surtt la ML's grand-mère qui illumine cette série ✩₊˚.⋆🕸️⋆⁺₊✧
### Les motivations de la ML's mother sont ridicules, insensées, déraisonnables. Cette partie est mal écrite, qu'il s'agisse de sa haine pr la FL's mother, pour son fils, ça ne tient pas la route !
### No communication, no trust : "pour protéger l'autre", FL & ML se taisent, cachent , dissimulent. Que cela se produise au début de leur relation, OK, c'est humain. A ce moment-là, chacun ne veut montrer que le meilleur de soi. Mais qd ils vivent ensemble, se marient, s'aiment, ce comportement devient toxique (et ennuyeux pr le spectateur).
=> Très belle série (si on passe sur qq incohérences) avec des acteurs exceptionnels 🥰🥰🥰

LOVED IT SM
I love Zhang Yuxi since My little princess and Bi Wenjun since Sweet Teeth and seeing them together was such a surprise at first! But the chemistry is soooo good! The drama is nothing crazy, just simple. It's natural and sweet! I'm used to seeing Bi Wenjun as the quiet, sweet and kind character so seeing him be quiet, nonchalant and with the idgaf attitude was quite interesting! WE LOVE A VERSATILE MAN! Zhang Yuxi looks so beautiful throughout! I also like that she knew what she wanted. She didn't want the chaotic corporate life in the big cities but the quiet and peaceful life in the village! I think that is inspiring since in this time and day, everyone cares about making it big in the cities! This one just shows a more realistic approach to life! Overall a good watch! Would recommend! It is a little difficult to watch the first ep but I promise it gets better! 9.5/10!Was this review helpful to you?
Sexy drama
Bi Wen Jun can kiss!!! His chemistry with Zhang Yunxi is so hot!! Love this show and this couple. Good buildup of storyline, no draggy scenes, enough intrigue to keep you watching. A highly recommended watch if you want to watch a mature drama. The child actor is also extremely talented. His range of emotions displayed was quite interesting.Was this review helpful to you?
Not for me
Background plot - 5%Romance - 75%
Misc comedy - 20%
Background plot - Not sure there was one
Romantic chemistry - Tepid at best
Misc comedy - Fine
Production value - Pretty good
I stopped at episode 6. I asked in the comments if the chemistry improves and folks said it stayed the same throughout, and thus I dropped the drama. I like these actors just fine, but-- personally-- didn't feel any heat or chemistry between them.
Also, I'm not sure there was a story. . . at least, there was no real story by the end of episode 6. It was repetitive scenes for 6 episodes with no progression; I stopped both episodes 5 and 6 to make sure I wasn't accidentally watching an episode I'd already finished.
I think perhaps I'm the problem...? People in the comments seemed to really enjoy this one and see / feel lots of chemistry between the leads. I did try, though, and gave it a 6 because it isn't terrible, it just didn't keep my interest.
Anyway, this one ended up not being for me.

Hands down to one of the best drama of 2025
Deep Affection Eye is one of those rare gems that quietly lingers in your heart long after you finish it. What makes it stand out is not just the romance, but the maturity and sincerity in the storytelling.The female lead is exactly the kind of character I love—warm, gentle, and resilient, someone who feels real and easy to admire. She’s not exaggerated or overly dramatic, but instead carries herself with grace and quiet strength. The male lead, calm and reserved, balances her perfectly. He’s not the typical cold stereotype, but a man whose care is shown through patience, consistency, and actions rather than empty words.
Their love story unfolds naturally, like watching two souls slowly find home in each other. It’s tender, heartwarming, and feels grounded in real emotions rather than forced tropes. No unnecessary chaos, no dragged misunderstandings—just a steady, beautiful journey of two people building trust and affection.
If you’re someone who enjoys slow-burn romance, meaningful conversations, and mature dynamics without the usual cliché drama, Deep Affection Eye is a must-watch. It’s not just a drama—it’s a comfort.

Nothing much.
Loved this. The chemistry is overwhelming. I’ve cried many times. This drama gives you a lot of realizations‚ and lessons.Both main leads are matured. They're not likely who will leave one another just because of an argument nor a problem, they tend to look for a solution and reconcile.
His mother is a sucker though. Although, her past is understandable but I do think revenge shouldn't have existed in the first place.
Their wedding was so beautiful. They made a fairytale came out. Zhang Yuxi is indeed beautiful and Bi Wenjun is handsome as well. Their visuals are like match made in heaven.
A good drama with a good plot and a good characters deserves a good review. Here's 10 out of 10 for you.

Olhar profundo, história rasa.
✨ Resenha sincerona da Lari: Olhar Profundo ✨👩🦰🏙️ Ela volta pra cidade natal querendo paz, mas encontra ELE — o homem lindo, misterioso e que dá aquele gelo ❄️. Claro que ela corre atrás 🏃♀️💨… até cansar. Aí, adivinha? Ele resolve correr atrás dela 🏃♂️🔥.
💪👩 Protagonista feminina forte, decidida e nada bobinha. Química do casal principal? De milhões 💥💋. Casal secundário? Maravilhoso também, mas… pouco explorado (um desperdício, viu? 😒).
📜 Só que o resto da história? Meio sonífero 😴. Problemas que se resolviam com UMA conversa no WhatsApp 📱🙄. O plot da morte da mãe dela + ranço gratuito da mãe dele? Zero sentido 🤷♀️.
💡 No saldo: foi bom, nota 8️⃣. Reassistir? Não. Indicar? Só pra quem ama ver um casal com faísca até no silêncio 🔥👀

a química do casal é tudo?
a proposta desse drama é excelente.um drama maduro.
a protagonista super pra frente, independente, forte, ela é maravilhosa!
o protagonista ele é rodeado de mistério.
os dois tem uma química maravilhosa!!!!
mas química não salva a história.
a proposta era um casal maduro, não sei pq mas a china ela insiste em fazer ML que deixa a parceira no escuro em nome da proteção.
esse ponto da história ao meu ver é bem negativo, pq a história fica massante com esse vai e vem , brigas que podem ser resolvidas com uma conversa e a sinceridade do ML.
a mãe dele é um ponto chave na história, podemos dizer até o momento (16 episódios) que ela é a vilã da história. estou muito curiosa para o desenvolvimento dessa personagem.
estou torcendo muito para que se forme um casal secundário, para trazer uma leveza na história.

Cada dia mais apaixonante ??
(parcial - 14 episódios)Olhos Profundos é um cdrama romântico sólido, com um casal cativante, com uma química de milhões e uma premissa emocionalmente carregada. Recomendado para fãs de histórias de amor proibido e reconciliação com o passado.
A história acompanha Ye Meng, uma mulher que, após fracassar profissionalmente, retorna à sua cidade natal em busca de recomeço. Lá, ela conhece Jin Yu, um homem de comportamento reservado, mas com um olhar intenso e misterioso. À medida que se aproximam, Ye Meng ajuda Jin Yu a se abrir emocionalmente, mas seu relacionamento é abalado quando ela descobre um segredo sombrio, a família dele está ligada à doença e morte de sua mãe no passado. O drama explora como o passado pode corroer relações, sem cair em melodrama excessivo (pelo menos até os episódios atuais).
A evolução de Jin Yu, de homem frio a alguém vulnerável, é um dos destaques. Apesar de alguns tropeços narrativos, a série promete um arco de redenção comovente se mantiver o foco na evolução dos protagonistas.
As perguntas que estão no ar:
Será que Jin Yu conseguirá redimir sua família?
Ye Meng conseguirá perdoar sem perder sua autoestima?
