Shan Hun Hou, Gu Zong Ma Jia Cang Bu Zhu Le (2023)

Shan Hun Hou, Gu Zong Ma Jia Cang Bu Zhu Le (2023) is a romance miniseries with Lu Shan Dong (as Gu Huai Yan) and Zhang Chu Xuan (as Duan Qing Yu) on the leading couple’s role. The storyline is nice and the conflicts are quickly resolved; antagonists are not up to par with the leading couple’s resilience and desire to be together. Lu Shan Dong and Zhang Chu Xuan have a nice playful chemistry but the romance was bland and even if they looked nice and acted cutely together, their romantic scenes were uneventful.
The drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: The CEO was allergic to all women except her, so he gradually became addicted to her.

Light, fluffy vertical drama with good looking leads

I love Zhang Chu Xuan's performance in 'Captive love from the mob boss' so I went to look for her work. The synopsis was interesting so I searched and found a full movie version of this series on Youtube. I clicked 'Play', what else?

What I liked:
1) The romance - I like Gu Huai Yan and Duan Qing Yu from the start of this series. That one night stand reminded me of 'Fated to Love You / You are My Destiny'. Sweet and playful romance between them - a lof of physical touch. It's cute to see Gu Huai Yan acknowledges his feelings for her and acted on them.
2) Visuals - Both Zhang Chu Xuan and Lu Shan Dong are very good looking although Zhang Chu Xuan's styling for this series made her look like university student rather than a working adult.
3) Pacing - Easy to digest series because of its fast pacing.
4) Similarity with other dramas - This series reminds me of 'Follow My Dear General' due to the rashes and 'Love Me in Three Days' due to the treatment.

What I disliked:
1) The ending - Quite flat for me. Wish they would talk more about his medical condition, their feelings and future together.
2) Subtitles - Some episodes were missing subtitles, if I am not mistaken. However due to the fast pace nature of this series, I could roughly guess what is happening during those episodes.

Favourite scene
