Short easy to watch c-drama !

I recommend if you want a light, fun and easy c-drama romance in (only) 24 episodes !

I loved the chemistry between the two characters the most, how they completed each other.
The soundtrack was not fantastic but it stays in your head and it feels right for each scene.
The actors were good even if the story has nothing fantastic about it... I even had to skip a few episodes because I was bored... but you have to watch until the end, it gets better !

Light, amusing and strong willed women

The series is very short and light with alot of amusing sides to it. My 2nd series of watching Jin Chen as the female lead. I have to say, her playing the strong minded / willed woman is indeed fitting. She really knows how to play that role extremely well. Storywise is very nice, not so long winded and sweet. Like always, there are a few moments / parts where you just face palm and there are moments where you just melt. The 2nd female lead is also rather annoying and childish. But then again, if you are someone who never really need to work much to get what you want, I guess you are also ending up spoilt and annoying - especially when things don't go your way. The songs are paired quite nicely for this series, love them.

Personally, it is a very nice first watch, however... I can't really speak for the rewatch. I guess it will depend on individual, if you actually love the show from beginning to the end and if you think it is worth to binge again.

So annoying ML

Only in Cdramas we can see this kind of shameless, mentally retard, over obsessed and cheap ML characters. In early episodes I thought this drama is completely different than regular cdrama template, the ML was socially mature with good IQ and EQ but after fifth episode it came to its regular template like over obsessed shameless mentally retard kind.
I think In first or second episode he promised to FL that he will help her to get Mr. Xu since she had no love or dating experience( even he didn’t had) but at the time when FL and SML about to be in relationship he only becomes big stumble block to them, he keep on avoiding their meetings, when they went to someone’s wedding he also went uninvited and tricking the FL and SML to take photos with FL while doing that he tore the FL dress in a bad way but here it is portrayed like a funny event( I don’t know what is there inside the Chinese director’s head), when they are in lift or standing anywhere ML keep on standing and covering FL from SML and most third class attitude of the ML character I observed is eavesdropping, all the times he acts some drama to listen what FL and SML were talking and whenever SML tried to confess he keep on interrupting him. The most annoying thing for me is his over obsession shown here, in the office they always together in home they always together even in outside also they always together if by chance FL went outside with someone without noticing him he will become mentally unstable and runs to her in next second.
When he saw his and Mr. Xu’s compatibility evaluation sheet with FL he noticed his grade points are very less, instead of feeling ashamed he got angry and scold her that these are just cold numbers it doesn’t represents anything, I clearly didn’t understand why it is unaccountable because for marriage everyone checks how much matured, reliable, dependable, profession, attitude, manners etc etc. he asks her that he loves her wholeheartedly is that not enough? OMG such effortless script, even a psycho, sadists or rapists loves someone in their own way, because they love can someone accepts their love without thinking and suffers in the future?
Initially I thought it is a good and different type of drama compared to other Chinese dramas but after fifth episodes it came to its typical cdrama template dramas but unfortunately after coming to its typical format this dramas rating got improved, Which means Chinese only like this kind of shameless ML characters.
After watching this drama I got only one wish, I want to take X-ray of this dramas director’s head to see what’s there inside instead of brain. That’s why maybe the producer has made minimum investment to this drama.

Excellent But..

This is really a cute drama but…they had to go and add the worlds most annoying female side character. She is clingy, stupid, childish, immature, and down right annoying. Literally have to fast forward through her scenes because she has no self respect. ML had told her and shown her on numerous occasions he didn’t like her but she literally latches on to him physically a lot and even gets up into his face. If they would have left her character out, it would have been a much more adult and mature drama but…
I actually really like this drama aside from the annoying and I mean really annoying FL side character. I like every other character and even the MLS mom. So not sure why they had to go and ruin it with her. I will continue to watch it because it is really cute when that witch isn’t in it. The chemistry between the leads is fire and of course the ML is hot! There is a lot of sweet scenes between the leads and ML is also really sweet and caring to the FL. FL is not annoying and actually has power and she doesn’t abuse it. She’s very nice and kind for the most part!
I would definitely recommend you watch this and just be aware of the annoying Female.

Worst Drama in terms of story, acting and choosing correct cast specially ML

One of the worst acting dramas I ever watched. Specially ML is totally a newbie with no talent in acting just playing childish acts in the whole drama. This whole drama doesn't make any sense in terms of story and acting.

At first it feels like something interesting but after MLs childish acting starts, the whole drama fallen into abyss. The makers thinks by adding some intimate scenes in the end makes the drama popular but that exactly makes the viewers to hate this type of content more and more.

In my opinion, if correct ML was chosen in the drama, this must be something else and there must be some appropriate and mature acts in terms of gaining love and building story.
At last, I'm very disappointed in myself for choosing such a bad drama to watch which also waste my time.

Easy and fluffy rom com!!!

The chemistry b/w the ML and FL is absolutely spot on. I love the simple story and lessons in this series which sums up to: Sincerity is the way to the heart and to be loved.

If you want a drama which is short and have high rewatched value, this underrated show is the one to watch. I rarely leave reviews but I love this one so far and I hoped a lot more peoplw would discover this easy series.

It would seem cliché but this is different from other cdramas

❤️
10/10 from me
Although it would look like other dramas but this one is different from others it has some uniqueness from other dramas.
Leads had a age gap but their chemistry was so good that we can't feel the age gap. Their personalities are perfect for each other.

ML acting was so good and he improved throughout the drama.
Relationships in this drama are on the next level ~

I love how women in this drama are independent and don't need men for everything.

ML is my favorite character his acting is so good. I really love his style, he was so fashionable throughout the drama.

FL is so cool I want to be like her and find success in life.

When they got in the relationship I was like on the clouds and their chemistryyyyyyy!!!
So overall it's an HAPPY ENDING❤😭

A MUST WATCH, HILARIOUS, FEEL GOOD ROMANCE

OMG!!!!! Why Women Love was EVERYTHING!!!!! It's been so long since I thoroughly enjoyed a drama this much! It was the perfect fix, just what I was needing. It's to die for. laugh out loud funny! I had so much second hand embarrassment, my face was permanently red! The situations the characters get into are hilarious. This show was such low angst, there are still some love rivals but you soon find out these encounters are more funny than threatening to our main leads. This was my first time with these leads and I'm hooked! Our Female lead was beautiful, smart, and very independent, she was a total boss! Loved her energy and how bad at love she was, it was refreshing. Our Male Lead was EVERYTHING!!! I'm seriously simping over him! I'm in Love, I have a new crush!!!! He was the Perfect Man! SO Swoon-worthy! It was so nice to see a young guy head over heels for a woman in such a healthy way. He really showed just how much he respected our FL and how he supported her, He had all the means of someone who could have easily been a "player or a villain" but his nature and his character was really something to brag about. Gahh. Him. this male lead is really setting the standards high! I highly recommend this drama. It was a very much a FEEL GOOD ROMANCE! You will be rooting for Jaxian with every episode!

MUY RECOMENDABLE, GRAN QUÍMICA, ENTRETENIDA HISTORIA!

MUY RECOMENDABLE PARA LOS AMANTES DE LOS ROMANCES DE OFICINA y Noona romances o bien coreanos tipo: What's wrong Secretary kim, She was pretty, A witch romance, o bien chinos como Find yourself o the rational life, pero en el caso de los chinos este me ha gustado y me ha divertido más. Pasa a mi top de cdramas románticos de este tema! La historia es sencilla y con clichés. Pero no es la originalidad la que nos atrae en este noona romance, es la química de la pareja principal y también la química de las tres parejas secundarias o terciarias o como queramos llamarles. Por una vez en un drama chino de romance no he pasado las escenas de los personajes secundarios a mayor velocidad, todas las historias son interesantes y bonitas. Otro tema muy interesante es el Girl Power de esta historia. Las mujeres de este drama son mujeres inteligentes , independientes y seguras de si mismas. No son las sombras de sus parejas, y ellos no son unos tóxicos manipuladores y machistas. El protagonista masculino es la pareja ideal amigos!!! No es el típico niño rico y malcriado que te cae gordo, és amable y simpático, guapo a morir, fiel hasta la médula, respetuoso, inteligente, soñador, infantil a veces pero es que tiene 23 años! El actor que le ha dado vida donde estaba que no lo había visto aún?? Le deseo todos los éxitos que creo que va a tener, es joven, tiene un físico muy atractivo y tiene una voz muy especial y agradable. A ella tampoco la conocía, una actriz muy bonita, acting perfecto y con una voz grave muy curiosa. Su química juntos es espectacular!!! Es algo especial, no es para nada azucarada, es cuqui muy cuqui pero a la vez muy hot, muy natural como si fueran una pareja real, muy intensas todas sus interacciones. Cada mirada que se dan, cada beso te revolotean mariposas en el estómago. Añadiría como puntos a favor sus solamente 24 capítulos (de 45 min) , cinematografía muy bonita y atractiva y su OST perfecto para esta historia de romance. Y como no un final como Dios manda, con todas las conclusiones perfectas a todas las historias.

Lui è giovane, la sceneggiatura ancora di più!

sceneggiatura: 5,5. regia : 6
Why Women Love vorrebbe essere un romcom leggero e spensierato tutto dedicato ai sentimenti ma nella prima metà, causa inesperienza assodata della sceneggiatrice risulta essere un mix confuso di fan service, incoerenze narrative e dinamiche romantiche buttate lì tanto per far battere qualche cuoricino… magari distratto. Il personaggio maschile in particolare sembra scritto da qualcuno che ha letto solo la sinossi di un romance su Wattpad e ha deciso che bastava così.
Partiamo da quello che personalmente non ha funzionato:
- Sceneggiatura, scrittura leggera, piena di incoerenze narrative e cliché, le trame appaiono riciclate, con personaggi monodimensionali e dialoghi datati ma soprattutto sin dai primi episodi loro due che si pongono subito come due amiconi, lui che le vuole organizzare appuntamenti, le scene in cui la chiama megera ma non fa altro che aiutarla con l'amore spiegandole non solo come si fa ma proprio giocando a fare il fidanzatino con lei, le prime fasi in cui lui la chiama “megera” ma poi le organizza appuntamenti rientrano senza dubbio nel fan service: non hanno senso nel racconto, ma sono progettate per far scattare la chimica facile.
Altre persone come me online, ho letto, descrivere l'opera come sequenze “flirty and sugary” (civettuole e zuccherose), senza un vero contesto logico . E non posso che concordare.
In Why Women Love, la sceneggiatura appare costruita per sfruttare dinamiche visive e momenti leggeri, ma non per raccontare: il plot è di supporto alle scene “flirty”, piuttosto che il contrario. La regia si limita ad esaltare il lato estetico senza riuscire a tessere un discorso visivo più maturo o coerente con i temi affrontati. Di conseguenza, argomenti più seri, risultano trattati in modo estraniato, dispersivo, spesso senza il tono adatto.

Regia: appena sufficiente, è funzionale ma priva di originalità o capacità di dare ritmo, abusa prospettive laterali, primi piani e slow motion per camuffare le doti carenti del protagonista, ogni volta che si avvicina a lei fateci caso la scena rallenta, le inquadrature focalizzano sui primi piani e lo sguardo, la varietà espressiva del ML è limitata. É inesperto e si vede troppo. Migliora un po' nella seconda metà del drama. Le scene tra loro sono carine ma prive di emozione, la trama è cretina e sviluppata male.

REGIA E SCENEGGIATURA non hanno saputo approfondire i temi importanti proposti: Nonostante l’apparente leggerezza “Why Women Love” introduce nella narrazione alcuni temi potenzialmente profondi e carichi di significato , come il divorzio, i traumi familiari, e persino disturbi legati all’alimentazione, come la bulimia o altre forme di DCA (disturbi del comportamento alimentare). Tuttavia, questi spunti narrativi, che potrebbero offrire spessore psicologico e realistico ai personaggi, vengono trattati in modo frettoloso e superficiale, come semplici elementi di contorno piuttosto che motori autentici dello sviluppo emotivo e relazionale.
Il problema principale risiede nella mancanza di coerenza tonale e strutturale e nell'interpretazione non convincente di molti lì dentro, inclusa la "veterana" Simona Wang (sospetto doppiata male) : scene drammatiche e cariche di implicazioni vengono spesso seguite da momenti volutamente spensierati o addirittura comici, annullando di fatto ogni impatto emotivo che quegli eventi potrebbero avere sullo spettatore. L’effetto complessivo è una sensazione di estraneità: i temi seri sembrano fuori luogo, appiccicati forzatamente in una trama che non sembra avere gli strumenti narrativi o la volontà di affrontarli con il giusto grado di profondità e rispetto.
In particolare, la questione della bulimia – rappresentata con dei cliché – viene liquidata con una scena di lei che mangia con gli occhi lucidi e scene flashback, o attraverso comportamenti mai elaborati, privando il pubblico di una comprensione empatica del disagio. Allo stesso modo, il trauma e il divorzio vengono evocati senza che ne emergano le conseguenze interiori sui personaggi, trasformandoli in cliché piuttosto che in esperienze umane autentiche.
In definitiva, questi temi seri inseriti senza vero approfondimento finiscono per sminuire i personaggi, privando la narrazione della possibilità di crescere e maturare, e risultando spesso decorativi, se non addirittura strumentalizzati per generare un’emotività facile e non meritata. Personalmente a me non arriva.
Alla luce di ciò, pur riconoscendo che il drama è leggero e spensierato, non mi sento di arrivare al 7.
SE VOLETE VEDERE UN'OPERA MEGLIO FATTA CON UN RAPPORTO D'AMORE TRA UN RAGAZZO GIOVANE E UNA DONNA PIU' GRANDE (DI 4 ANNI ANNI) VEDETE MY DEAREST NEMESIS (trovate la mia recensione cliccando sul mio nickname), DOVE LUI SUPERA DI GRAN LUNGA QUALSIASI ATTORE QUI DENTRO PER LA RECITAZIONE!

Coppie secondarie carine ma lei sembra avere 12 anni, era molto più matura nella parte scolastica, assurdamente. Lui è uno Sugar candy Prince con deficit di testosterone.

Aspetti apprezzabili :
- Assenza di tragedie, tono spensierato.
- La FL: finalmente si vede una donna con polso, risoluta, aggressiva e molto volitiva che non si affida agli uomini per uscire dai guai come in ogni drama che si rispetti.
Tuttavia é emotivamente analfabeta, al punto da non capire davvero cosa vuole o tirare fuori la sicurezza grintosa che mostra nel lavoro anche nel versante sentimentale. Se la trascinerà per 20 episodi. Un po’ too much ! Sembrerà più infantile di lui con i sentimenti.
Ho avuto l'impressione che lei fosse una 40 enne come stile e voce, e che la differenza tra i due in verità fosse più marcata.
Tuttavia essendo una donna di 30 anni non possono inserire scene da teen couple e aspettare che una donna matura si emozioni perché le sfiorano le mano o la fissino. Occorrevano delle interazioni un po' più adulte e mature.
- La Chimica tra i due: è vero che lui sembra sul finale davvero invaghito di lei ma ancora non capisco se questo sia il risultato della regia che rallenta e riprende ogni loro interazione con prospettive mirate e abuso dello slow motion, l’attenzione è posta sugli sguardi e momenti carini tra protagonisti, ma manca l’uso di inquadrature capaci di esaltare i temi narrativi .
- La brevità: 24 episodi con una sceneggiatura cedevole vanno molto bene, di più avrei sinceramente droppato al quarto episodio per l'assurdità e la precocità delle scene di avvicinamento viste dal primo minuto senza un frame contestuale dove inserirle. Tuttavia io penso che era il caso di non dilungarsi troppo sul conflitto interiore della protagonista che arriva a scegliere tra i due spasimanti al 19°, 5 episodi prima della fine. Normalmente i sentimenti si palesano a metà drama, qui l'illuminazione sentimentale andava mostrata prima, e magari giocare con una storia segreta da ufficio che mostrasse un accordo tra la parte sentimentale e quella razionale. No, dal 12 fino al 19 è un continuo alto e basso, con lui che poverino le tenta tutte e decide persino di accelerare una evoluzione per potersi assicurare una possibilità con lei. Tenero ma un po' zerbino. Questo aspetto per par condicio ( considerato che sono le donne spesso mostrate come arrendevoli e disposte a compromessi) non mi è dispiaciuto.
-il finale, non affrettato, molto sentito e di cuore, dedica il giusto tempo alla chiusura dell'opera, è uno dei finali migliori che abbia visto a conclusione di un lavoro per il tempo dedicato e le dinamiche sviluppate e chiuse.
-Gli episodi finali, sono quelli che si avvicinano al 7, la sceneggiatura non sembra più forzata, le recitazioni sono più naturali e sciolte, si vedono delle azioni logicamente legate e delle dinamiche plausibili, senza abuso di fan service e slow motion.

In conclusione, lo consiglio se volete qualcosa di leggero e se riuscite a emozionarvi vedendo scene di avvicinamento arbitrarie non sostenute da un motivo logico, se vi piacciono le scene fan service e i comuni cliché e riuscite a soprassedere all'assenza di dialoghi.
Se non avete aspettative sull'interpretazione e vi basta che un attore sia gradevole e basta. Se soddisfate i requisiti questa è l'opera che fa per voi!

Une romance avec sa différence d'âge assumée (on sait à quoi s'attendre)

C'est agréable de voir des dramas comme Why Women Love. Ces productions qui assument leur thématique jusqu'au bout et qui n'ont pas besoin de polluer l'intrigue avec un regard archaïque de la société moderne.

Il suffit de s'attarder sur les visuels promotionnels pour avoir une bonne idée de l'endroit où on va mettre les pieds avec WWL. Pas de scénario complexe, aucune grande et lourde intrigue mystérieuse. En revanche, une jolie romance qui peut faire palpiter quelques cœurs.

Les histoires avec une différence d'âge sont attirantes. C'est toujours intéressant de découvrir comment le sujet va être abordé et placé, notamment dans la conception des personnages.
Jia Xin (ML) ne se comporte jamais comme un minet de 22 ans immature. À contrario, Jiang Yue (FL) n'agit pas non plus comme la parfaite trentenaire. Les deux personnages s'associent et trouvent un équilibre agréable qui contrebalance en permanence. On nous évite les erreurs habituelles ou des catastrophes comme ce fut le cas dans le drama japonais « 20 ans les séparent ». L'héroïne était une gamine de 20 ans qui agissait comme une enfant avec, face à elle, un homme d'une quarantaine d'années plus posé et, c'était juste pénible à regarder. Bref !
Quant aux personnages secondaires, on retrouve les portraits habituels : la glue qui ne lâche pas le ML, le spécialiste des non-dits ou encore celui qui met toujours les pieds dans le plat. Peu utiles à l'histoire et oubliables.

Ceci étant dit, j'ai vu passer plusieurs comparaisons sur lesquelles je vais m'attarder, car en désaccord.
You Are My Glory : Non. La seule ressemblance entre les deux dramas est l'alchimie du couple principal. Clairement à l'aise, ils ont offert de magnifiques scènes. Cependant, à aucun moment WWL ne devient un tranche de vie contrairement à YAMG dans sa seconde moitié.
Love is Science? : Oui et non. Dans les grandes lignes de son intrigue sur le plan professionnel, oui. On parle d'application de rencontre, de femmes à la tête d'une société... En revanche, WWL n'utilise jamais le regard de la société pour influencer la relation entre Jiang Yue et Jia Xin.
My Fated Boy : Non. La différence d'âge du couple n'a aucune incidence majeure sur le déroulement de l'histoire.
Si vous aimez WWL vous allez sûrement adorer YAMG, LIS ou encore MFB. Mais pour des raisons différentes.

Bref ! WWL est le genre de drama facile a aborder, car léger et douillet. Il ne connaît pas de personnages meurtris au passif douloureux ni de retournement de situation tout droit sortie de la cuisse de Jupiter. Seulement une histoire d'amour entre une femme et un jeune homme sans avoir une quelconque raison de se soucier du regard de la société.

fait son effet

Ce n'est pas un grand drama avec une histoire captivante, c'est simple sans effets grotesques. J'aime beaucoup l'actrice principale et sa relation avec le héros est bien amenée , on suit leurs mésaventures avec le sourire et j'ai apprécié le sujet sur la différence d'âge. Certains passages sont vraiment drôles.
