Zhan You Qiang Wei (2025)

Combustible chemistry between Cao Sai Ya & Chen Ming Hao kept me vested in this long drama

There are multiple versions of this plot and if I am not mkstaken, this drama is version 1. I watched this drama after watching version 3 by Han Yu Tong, Zeng Hui & Zhao Ting Yi. I enjoyed this drama very much.

What I liked:
1. Romance - Fiery, hot kisses but what stood out for me is their affections toward each other. There were tender moments and playful banter and I loved every single of those moments.
2. Acting - Wow, I couldn't believe than Cao Sai Ya is 5 years younger than Chen Ming Hao but portrayed a jiejie to ML. This is my first time watching Cao Sai Ya drama and I was impressed by how she carried the role. I don't watch many Chen Ming Hao dramas but this role impressed me. I also loved their combustible chemistry. I must say I prefer this couple to real life couple Han Yu Tong and Zeng Hui when it came to FL-ML romantic scenes. I also liked the performance by actor who played the antagonist. Damn he was very tall and had menacing aura while in character.
3. FL characterisation - I liked that she wasn't a tough girl all the time. There were moments of vulnerability and it was wonderful to see her let ML see those moments.
4. Supporting characters - ML's assistant was an astute observer who subtly hinted to SML who never caught them because he was self-absorbers. SML's friend gave sound advice after SML humiliated FL and I liked that chat. ML's bestie was entertaining to watch. I also liked Shen grandpa - his interactions with ML were fun to watch.
5. ML characterisation - He was compassionate, sweet and "puppy" like. I liked that he was respectful of his brother - he didn't pursue FL once he saw and knew FL was going out with his brother.
6. Styling - Cao Sai Ya looked gorgeous in the outfits she wore. I also liked the outfits chosen for Chen Ming Hao & SML - they matched their contrasting personalities.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - SML Zhou Jing Su in this drama was more ruthless & narcissistic. He was willing to destroy FL's career in an attempt to get FL to resume their relationship.
2. Duration - If I am not mistaken, the drama was close to 3 hours. It was too long for me but the romantic scenes between FL and ML kept me vested in this drama.
3. Wedding dress - I didn't like it because the cutouts cheapened the look of a bride. I wish stylist had chosen a classier wedding dress.

Favourite scene
FL & ML having a playful banter then suddenly SML was at the door of FL's apartment

CP fofo com um enredo novo, para mim.

Eu não conhecia esse enredo de drama, então pela primeira vez iniciei na ordem correta por acaso kkkkkk

FL: Apesar de não ter muitos figurinos, ela estava bem bonita, aparentemente este é o meu primeiro drama com a atriz Cao Sai Ya, mas gostei bastante. Apesar de todas as ameaças e ela temer realmente por sua mãe e por sua vida, ela não voltou atrás na sua decisão. Achei apenas um pouco carregada a maquiagem dela no pó.
ML: É até chocante ver a foto do perfil do Chen Ming Hao, porque no drama parecia que tinham feito ele rolar no pó e corretivo, o bicho tava mais branco que a minha parede! Mas gostei de sua atuação, aparentemente também este é meu primeiro drama com ele. Gostei de como seu personagem demonstrava muito as emoções com o olhar, os olhos vermelhos, as lágrimas e sorrisos. Realmente ficou bem natural.

ML & FL: O casal parecia muitoooo natural, era fofo acompanhar os momentos deles juntos em paz, as brincadeiras e até a maneira de atuar era leve, com bastante sorrisos, gestos fofos. Principalmente quando ela está no colo dele e fecha os olhos dele com a mão porque ela está tímida. O primeiro beijo pareceu meio estranho pelo desejo do ML, mas depois eles ficam muito bons e meigos, demonstrava sentimento mesmo.

2ML/antagonista: meu Deus do céu, que verme em forma de ser humano. Me deu nojo e muita repulsa a maneira dele agir, isso não é amor, é posse, é humilhação. Podia ter morrido kkkkkkk E merecia sofrer muito. O ator, por ser muito alto, intimidava, principalmente na cena quando ele volta de viagem e vai de encontro com a FL.

Minha cena favorita foi a FL no colo do ML, foi muito fofo a naturalidade do casal. E gostei dela mostrar sua vulnerabilidade para ele, e ele a acolher. Pareciam realmente um casal real.
O tempo de duração foi meio extenso, quase 3 horas, acelerei algumas partes do antagonista para a velocidade 1.5x porque ele me dava gastura.
