Qing Shan Si Yu (2025)

Refreshing plot but not a fan of FL

Warning: This drama has scenes of domestic violence.

I became a fan of Wang Chen Peng after watching Wen Rou Ye Gu. This is my first time watching Chen Lu Xi. This drama had a refreshing plot but I am not a fan of Chu Suang. At the time of this review, I am not sure if I want to watch part 2 of this drama.

What I liked:
1. Acting - Chen Lu Xi and Wang Chen Peng were excellent in their roles as they were able to convey various emotions felt by their characters. I know Wang Chen Peng is very tall but wow, the height difference between him and Chen Lu Xi was staggering.
2. Troubled colleague - I liked this arc very much because I felt that this is a way for FL to learn about life. It was great that she was compassionate and resourceful. The domestic violence was hard to watch.
3. ML characterisation - He was a patient and understanding husband. He respected his wife's wishes and always treated her nicely.
4. Boundaries - It's scary that SML would approach FL even when she clearly brushed him off. I liked that FL told off SML when he wooed her.
5. Romance - I could see that they loved each other. I did feel that FL received more than gave back to the marriage.
6. Supporting character - I liked her bestie whom I found more mature than her. ML's family was nice and the chubby nephew was endearing.

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - I love independent women but I felt FL emphasised too much on her needs to be on her own. She was a married woman so she should learn to compromise. Luckily for her, ML was around to save her from being harmed. I also found FL immature when it came to relationships.
2. Communication - I don't mind slow burn romance but I felt that communication was an issue for them. I disliked her for easily making assumptions without talking to her husband. I also disliked her for being insecure when ML's supposed ex girlfriend came to visit him at work. She should ask about exes from him before getting married but not asked someone else after marrige.
3. SML - I was surprised he jumped into conclusion after hearing office gossip. For someone who was well-off, he should have investigated.

Emocionante

Quando eu pensava no que escrever ao finalizar esse melodrama eu percebi que foi o primeiro drama vertical que me comoveu tanto que me fez chorar em diversas cenas. A história contada sem pressa, mostrando o passado, o trauma, a descoberta da confiança dela por ele e todo o cuidado que ele havia por ela me deixou fascinada. Tão fascinada a ponto de surtar quando eu vi que o drama acabou e não havia muito sobre o avançar dos eventos e de sua doença, foi quando pesquisei aqui no MDL e descobri que a história estava dividida em duas partes no yt, ai pude respirar aliviada.
A segunda parte realmente é bem mais densa e emotiva do que a primeira, mas a primeira parte é extremamente crucial para que nós torcêssemos pelo casal principal e, principalmente pela FL.
Os flashbacks finais me deixaram sem ar. E quando ela diz "cunhada", eu, que estava jantando, me travou a garganta que mal pude respirar, só chorar.
E a parte dois me fez enxergar o porque da primeira hora ser tão lenta em relação a FL para com o ML e todo o meu ranço sobre esse início se desfez. Não quero citar muito, pois como é um drama muito novo, não quero dar tanto spoiler quanto minhas outras resenhas. Mas afirmo, vale cada segundo. Fico feliz de ter encontrado por acaso esse drama. Vou sempre me lembrar dele.
Ps: há pouquíssimos beijos.
