Love after Love (2024)

Turns out i was mad at the two collaboration.

Okay I watched this few years ago. And I remember why i was mad at He Cong Rui-Bai Yan combo beside Ye Chong. They are not compatible since i feel they are acting in different drama. The character felt disjointed. He Congrui doesn't have the older man/older woman vibe, and Bai Yan doesn't have the younger woman/older woman vibe. The way He Congrui and Bai Yan acted together made the viewing experience somewhat uncomfortable. He Congrui seemed more like the younger one, while Bai Yan seemed more like the older one, making the whole drama feel a bit awkward.

FL is innocent, cute, naive, and romantic, while the ML has been plotting for a long time. Because he likes her, because she studies art, and because he was traumatized by her brother's death, he donated an art building and a psychology building to her school. Because she likes flowers, he bought her a refrigerator full of flowers. There's practically no drugging or a vicious female supporting character; it's just a sweet and heartwarming little story. But when the plot were good and the character are mismatch, you cannot help but imagine what if the lead characters played by someone else.

Love After Love is a romantic miniseries that, although it has a nice premise and no major issues affect the leading couple’s relationship, the leadings couple’s romantic interactions were good but the leading lady's facial expressions were somber for most of the drama.

There are too many things going on at once and the romance, once the lead couple gives in into their feelings for each other,although it is not lively, it is beautifully gentle and steadfast.
