You and Me 2.0 (2024)

Electric chemistry between the leads led to my enjoyment of angst-filled melodrama

I watched this drama a few weeks ago when I was in vertical drama slump. Saw that Bai Yan and Wang Yi Ran were the leads so I clicked Play on my iQIYI app. Wow, what a rollercoaster ride. I certainly experienced different emotions but overall I like this drama. I have watched Bai Yan & Wang Yi Ran's other collaboration but I like this one more.

What I liked:
1. Acting - I had never seen Wang Yi Ran cried so much until I watched this drama. Brilliant performances by both him and Bai Yan. Amazing chemistry and I think they brought out the best out of each other.
2. Angst - I don't usually enjoy angst-filled melodrama but this one is an exception because of the acting.
3. FL characterisation - I didn't like that she staged a cheating scene to break up with ML in order to protect him. However her character grew on me once we learned about her struggles. I liked that she was adamant about clearing her father's name.
4. ML characterisation - Pitiful lover who later became vengeful but mellowed down once he calibrated the situation.
5. Romance - Tumultuous post divorce. The tension was high once FL reappeared in ML's life and what a love journey. I could sense love and passion between them two.
6. Supporting characters - I liked their child and FL's father.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - ML's family friend / supposedly fiancee was annoying jealous b. Daddy's princess who thought she could get away with bad things. Her father / ML's benefactor was cunning too. I disliked him for being selfish.
2. ML's action - I thought it was silly that he never knew about the downfall of FL's family much earlier.

Love their chemistry although the drama is make me pissed.

First. I enjoy Wang Yiran-Bai Yan combo on drama. They got chemistry as lover. But I should say the plot is too dramatic.

Plot is about ML see FL sleep with SML on their bed. ML bears it since he loves FL too much. FL asks for divorce while ML compromise FL inform she abort their child and left him with bucks of money. FL go from ML and she actually lying about abort part and ask SML to help him go overseas.

Wang Yiran is good at crying scene. He is one of Male Lead i quite like for their natural crying scene. Bai Yan as always still do great job as Damsel in Distress Female Lead. The child got natural acting. The SFL and Her dad is most annoying on this drama.

I don't like FL character on this i know she wants to 'protect' ML but she just too stupid and selfish. The common problem in almost 90% romantic drama in short drama is communication.

Recommended for both of actor fans only.
