Passionate Love (2024)

Passionate Love (2024) is the somewhat disturbing and fascinating love story of the leading couple, Lu Lin Feng (played by Zhen Zi Qi) and Lin Wan (played by Quan Rui). Their contract relationship is base on a misunderstanding but both of them can’t help it and they fell in love with each other. even though neither one expressed it until they were about to break up for good when she is being forced to marry his nephew. This story and, especially the leading couple, deserved a full run drama; the plot is well written and the main cast did a wonderful job bringing their characters to life. What sets this drama apart, regardless of some disturbing issues in their relationship, is the fact that Zhen Zi Qi and Quan Rui performed their roles magnificently and they have a mesmerizing, passionate, and beautiful chemistry. Their most dramatic scene at 1 hour and 33 minutes into the drama is heartbreaking and breathtaking. Although some supporting cast acting was subpar, overall, this drama is great! Enjoy it!

Enthralling tale of forbidden love with gripping performances

I am a massive fan of Zhen Zi Qi after watching his performance in Sheng Se Quan Ma so I binged his dramas.

What I liked:
1. Romance - Wow, this tale is full of angst and sexual tension. I dislike their dynamics at the start because ML was domineering & condescending. However things changed when FL started to express her feelings for ML. The confession was heartfelt & endearing.
2. Bestie - OMG FL's bestie is awesome. She is protective & respectful of FL. That rooftop cafe scene was heartwarming. The exact embodiment of "chicks before dicks".
3. Acting - Brilliant, gripping performance from Zhen Zi Qi & Quan Rui. Her character is mute but she conveyed her feelings & emotions through facial expressions.
4. Ending - I like how cheeky FL was with her surprise.

What I disliked:
1. Lu Xiao - He invaded FL & ML's privacy & I was shocked by his action. Despicable.
2. ML's characterisation - I dislike him at the start. I don't understand why he didn't want their relationship to be public.

Favourite scene
When FL had one-on-one talk about the hidden camera incident & boat accident
