Nian Nian Ru Qing (2025)

Great acting but the story was a mess

I am a massive fan of Guo Yu Xin and while I don't watch many Liang Si Wei dramas, I really enjoyed his acting in Define Your Style. I wondered how this drama would go because the introductory scene was filled with negativity. This drama was similar to a roller coaster ride.

What I liked:
1. Acting - This CP was a matching pair as both seemed to challenge each other's acting capability. The emotional scenes were emotionally intense for both actors.
2. Romance - This is a second chance romance drama. Once they reconciled, they were a sweet couple. There were also hot kissing scenes. One YouTube user even pointed out that Guo Yu Xin was a better kisser than Meng Na when paired with Liang Si Wei.
3. Supporting characters - I liked FL's bestie, mother & her male friend because they showed genuine concerns for her.

What I disliked:
1. FL's decision - I hated that FL never told ML about her illness early on when they were on good terms. She was a coward.
2. Ending - I didn't know what to deduce from the ending.
3. ML's behaviour - I disliked him for being cruel to FL once they reunited. Some scenes were stressful to watch.
4. Antagonist - ML's admirer & his mother were horrible.

Favourite scene
When FL requested for divorce around 40th minute mark

Terrible Script but Great Acting

A heart breaking drama about a girl with leukemia and a power hungry vicious father. I think something important to learn here is that not everyone copes with being sick in the same way. She could not handle being a burden to him so she chose to run. Twice. I get it they loved each other but idk if my relationship could have survived that. That being said his whole abuse plotline was completely far out and should not have been tolerated regardless of what she had done in the past.
The actors all did a great job (special shout out to the girls brother/best friend of ML for being a stand up guy and not putting up with BS.) They all did great with such a terrible script.
