Vertical dramas are getting better
I enjoyed this vertical drama. I’ve watched 2 versions of this story but preferred this one over the other. The acting was pretty decent here and the strongest point of the drama. I would definitely say that this one was a little more higher quality than some of the other vertical dramas out there but it’s still not without plot holes of course. I just found this one a little more entertaining and enjoyed the concept of the plot. I’d recommend this one for those that enjoy a quick watch.Was this review helpful to you?

Qin Yan Zhou Totally Won My Heart
What made me watch this:Honestly, I jumped into this drama because of Cheng Cheng, of course! Also, the synopsis caught my attention it reminded me of a similar drama I’d seen before and really enjoyed. So, I had high hopes that this version would be just as interesting.
First Impression:
From the very first hospital scene, I could tell that there would be no lack of strong acting or on-screen chemistry. The presence of all four main characters was more than enough to grab my attention.
Highlights:
1. Acting: All the actors did a commendable job! I was truly impressed by the four main leads. At times, I felt the female lead’s performance was a bit less natural, but that’s just a personal observation.
2. Pacing: Some scenes felt unnecessarily dragged out, like they were stretching to get to the main point. Long scenes that could’ve been tighter. Still, the drama managed to hold my attention.
3. Style: I felt that the drama could have used a better stylist for hair, clothing, etc. The visuals were a bit underwhelming in that department in some places.
4. Chemistry: The main couple had great chemistry. ML is really a good kisser .The male lead was obsessed and protective in a way that worked well for the story.
5. Intimacy:The kisses and intimate scenes were well done and added emotional depth to the relationship.
6.I felt that the illusion scene with the second male lead in the hospital was unnecessary.
Favorite Characters & Scenes:
I honestly liked all the characters, they portrayed their roles really well. All four characters had a strong presence on screen, even without the help of the styling department. I especially loved the male lead. He was deeply into the female lead, and it really showed in their chemistry.In the first version I watched, it was the female lead who actively initiated the closeness. But in this one, the male lead was much more proactive, which I really liked. There was no hesitation in him, he took brave, confident steps to own the moment. I truly loved that initiative from the male lead. I also appreciated the screenplay, the locations, and the different setup compared to the original version.
Some standout scenes for me:
⇒When the main couple is in bed and the second male lead suddenly enters the room.
⇒The hospital scene where the second male lead talks about how the female lead cared for him in the past and recalls those moments.
⇒Just before that, when the second female lead says: “It’s not that you both believe in her, it’s that you both don’t want to face the truth.”That line hit hard.
⇒Although I liked all the scenes, I found the male lead’s scenes especially enjoyable. The main couple’s first kiss happened when he grabbed her , bold and intense. The second kiss followed soon after, out of jealousy.
⇒Surprisingly, I really liked the second male lead and second female lead’s first kiss , it was totally in character, capturing their 'jerk and bitch' energy perfectly.
Overall Impression:
It was truly a good drama, definitely watchable. Despite a few minor flaws, it kept me hooked and delivered emotionally. A solid watch, especially if you enjoy romance with The kind of male lead who’s obsessed, deeply protective, and completely head over heels for the female lead.

Despite the hot kisses, antagonist outshined both FL & ML
I came across this drama when it was newly released. A reddit user requested for link and I got intrigued. I watched it within a few days of its release and gosh I have mixed feelings about this drama.What I liked:
1. Antagonist - I must say that antagonist outshined both protagonists in this drama. His arc is more compelling that FL’s arc and FL-ML relationship arc. He is even remorseful about his cheating so I appreciate this character growth.
2. Acting - Great performance by Aorigele, the actor playing the second male lead (SML). I would rewatch this drama just to see Aorigele's scenes.
3. Kisses - 🔥 Plenty of hot & heavy kisses. I even find Aorigele's makeout scene to be hot!
4. Styling - I must say that I love the outfits worn by Cheng Cheng and Aorigele. Love the horse riding outfits for all four characters!
What I disliked:
1. FL characterisation - I find FL a bland character. Her only purpose in this drama is to "teach" her chesting ex a lesson - there is nothing about her career or individual backstory. Yang Luo Qian’s acting is underwhelming.
2. ML characterisation - Cheng Cheng did the best he could for this drama. His character is severely underwritten and to me, ML is a tool for FL to make SML jealous.
3. Romance - I don’t sense any emotional intimacy between FL and ML. I was surprised by the subsequent scenes after FL reveals that she has faked the amnesia. FL and ML never talk about the fake amnesia, fake identity and their relationship.
4. Poster - The poster I saw first is the version with Yang Luo Qian sitting and Cheng Cheng standing next to her. I believe that the English title reflects SML’s perspective. Therefore Aorigele should have been included in that drama poster and received main character credit.
Favourite scene
When SML was remorseful and begged for forgiveness

Enquanto no "The One His Brother Loves Dearly" o drama parece que se divide em dois depois dos 45 minutos e tudo parece secundário, mas se formos analisar com calma é para tentar criar um vínculo entre o ML e a FL sem a mentira os assombrando, aqui em "Jia Xi Zhen Zuo Hou Ta Yong Shi Suo Ai" a história é apenas voltada para o enredo da falsa amnésia da FL.Cheng Cheng nos ofereceu beijos extremamente quentes, gosto muito desse ator, mas o vínculo entre o ML e a FL parecia frágil demais, a FL faz com o que o 2ML/SML se arrependa de tudo que fez, sem voltar atrás, porém gostaria que houvesse mais conversas e esclarecimentos entre a FL e o ML para que pudessem ficar juntos sem esse peso da mentira, já que até na cena do cemitério ela joga a informação de muitos anos juntos, 7 anos, bla bla bla, então o ML sente isso, mas ai no hospital, tudo é falado em poucas palavras e vida que segue kkkkk
Mas mesmo assim, eu ainda prefiro esta versão do que a citada lá no início, por ser mais curta e focada no que realmente era a história. Quanto o 2ML, ele é terrível, teve o que mereceu, porque se fosse como no outro drama que é o homem que finge a amnésia ("When Love Runs Out" no Dailymotion) e se aventura com outras meninas, até que daria para mentir por mais tempo para a FL, mas não, aqui ele confia fielmente que ela o ama e aceitaria VENDO constantemente ele com a 2FL. Só em drama mesmo, porque se fosse comigo, eu esfolava a cara dele no asfalto kkkkk
