Um Banquete em Yong’an (2025)

Eu amei!

Ele entregou tudo o que prometia: foi divertido, cheio de ação, com momentos emocionantes e muita culinária, que era o foco central da história.

A única coisa que, pra mim, deixou um pouquinho a desejar foi o romance. Eu esperava ver mais do casal, mas ao mesmo tempo entendo que a forma como ele foi construído era necessária pra história fazer sentido. No fim das contas, foi um amor puro, verdadeiro e atemporal, ele esperou por ela mesmo depois que ela voltou pra era moderna, e ela pôde assistir a vida dele passando no passado.

Esse amor que ultrapassa o tempo e as barreiras me encantou completamente. Foi um romance silencioso, mas profundo, e isso tornou tudo ainda mais bonito. Confesso que fiquei ansiosa por mais momentos românticos, mas os roteiristas souberam entregar uma conexão emocional que vai além do comum.

Também adorei a parte da vingança do protagonista e a forma como ele cria laços e amizades no meio do caos. A história da família Shen me emocionou muito… chorei quando só ele se lembrava deles.
E aquele final… quando ele diz que teve um sonho e sonhou com ela… Foi simples, mas profundamente tocante. Sou apaixonada por essas pequenas cenas cheias de significado. Valeu a pena! Eu sou muito apaixonada quando o casal tem esse sentimento que é único, me faz querer amar desse jeito!

Started Heartwarming, Ended Heavy

The first 20 episodes were an absolute delight, genuinely funny, comforting, and heartwarming. I was laughing through most of them! The comedy landed well, and the family dynamics were such a joy to watch. The brother and father were a bit dumb and annoying at times, but were still bearable and added to the humor. I especially loved how the male lead slowly opened up to the family - it felt natural, sincere, and very comforting to see him find warmth again. The little girl was such a bright spot too; her presence added so much softness and innocence.

Overall, early episodes had that perfect balance of humor and warmth — the kind of light, cozy vibe that makes you want to keep watching. I really thought the series would maintain that tone till the end.

But just like many other dramas that lose their spark in the second half, this one wasn’t an exception. After episode 20, the tone became flat and one-note. The female lead spent almost ten episodes either crying or feeling sad. I understood why, but it eventually got too heavy. The show that began as fun and heartwarming turned into something overly sad and emotionally draining.

Then came the big revelation that he’s not actually her ancestor, and it honestly felt rushed, as if even the writer was tired of dragging that plot. My reaction was basically, “Wait, what? That’s it? And this late?” They stretched the conflict for almost ten episodes only to reveal it like it was nothing.

And poor Lin Yan. I genuinely think the writer did him dirty. He lived his whole life waiting for her. First, he lost his parents, then his wife and her family. When he finally let go of his revenge and started to really live, he lost everything again and died longing for her. Like, how can they do this to him? Yes, they meet again in the modern world, but it came after years of pain and loneliness. That’s not a happy ending for me - it’s bittersweet at best. It really felt like the writer just wanted to stretch the emotional pain, both in the middle episodes and in the ending, so that when they finally got together, viewers would feel relief and forget how dragged it was.

The whole family’s development also lost its impact when they returned and forgot everything. Sure, they became better people, but what was the point of showing such a meaningful journey if they don’t even remember it? It made the time-travel aspect feel a little pointless.

In the end, the drama leaned too much on sadness and unnecessary dragging. It could have been a truly comforting, emotional story if the pacing and tone had been better balanced. Still, I can’t deny how much I loved the first 20 episodes, the laughter, the warmth, and the feeling of comfort they gave me.... and of course, Lin Yan’s puppy eyes that somehow carried me through the slower parts.
