Jin Ye Liao Dong Ta Xin

I loved this drama for the chemistry, career-focused and communication between the leads

I am a massive fangirl of Wen Mo Yan. I was delighted to find out that she has collaborated with Wang Dao Tie again as I enjoyed the drama in which she played a hotel employee. I watched this drama almost immediately upon its release. I was not disappointed - I love it a lot!

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - I loved that she severed ties with her families. She was smart and thought ahead of everyone else.
2. ML characterisation - He was calm & collected but when things were not right, he called them out. I liked that he told off his son at internal meeting for the rude behaviour and told off Wen family for their daughter's rude remarks about FL.
3. Romance - At first, the relationship seemed like a game to FL. Slow with a lot of flirting and teasing. I liked the build up because I felt their relationship was truly built on love and not just lust. I liked that they communicated a lot - they didn't keep their different views to themselves. I also liked that they had each other's back.
4. Career - This drama leaned heavily towards FL and ML's professional lives. I liked it because it reduced the power distance between ML (the boss) and FL (the employee). FL proved her worth at the company.
5. Supporting characters - FL's housemate, ML's sister and Assistant Jing were wonderful characters.
6. Acting - Wen Mo Yan and Wang Dao Tie continued to demonstrate palpable chemistry in this drama. Wen Mo Yan is always great at playing smart, mature woman and it's evident here. Wang Dao Tie gave a more restrained performance here because of the ML character but it was suitable and complementary to Wen Mo Yan's FL character.
7. Styling - I loved the wardrobe worn by the leads.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - ML's grandfather was evil. I also disliked Su family for favouring foster daughter over FL the biological daughter. Both Su & Wen families were nasty. FL's ex boyfriend was pathetic for two-timing FL and for being a spoilt brat at work.
2. Dubbing - I think Wen Mo Yan's voice was dubbed because her original voice is distinctive. I wish they had used her original voice.

Favourite scene
When ML gave in and kissed FL for the first time.

Has Potential but Tinghuadao ruin it themselves.

I am Wen Moyan big fans and she is collaborating with my potential CP Wang Daotie after a year.

Personally this kind of uncle-nephew ex plot suits them but i always have a doubt since its from Tinghuadao (the company that make this drama). They make the story depth are not too complex and the relationship progress just pass quick without any progression but they only got the result for couple growth. The Good Point the character between Male Lead and Female Lead are quite consistent and no misunderstanding. The ending is very diabolical but still enjoyable.

The biggest lost on this drama is they dubbed Wen Moyan real voice. Her voice is distinctive to hear.

At least i still like this version more than Wang Jin- Hu Jiaohao version.

Recommended to the fans of the both actor.

Segunda adaptação, porém a quarta e última assistida.

Desisti de procurar essa adaptação com legendas em português, já que eu maratonei as outras três ontem, então fui com apenas Inglês mesmo através do link da emberzmars. E confesso que meu chinês está melhor do que meu inglês já kkkkkk

Cast: Eu gosto MUITO do Wang Dao Tie, então estava ansiosa para assistir essa versão e eu gostei MUITO da atuação da Wen Mo Yan em "Your Trap" e "Lost and Found" com o nosso maravilhoso Shen Hao Nan. os figurinos aqui seguem lindos, é nítido que é a adaptação com a melhor produção, seja pelos cenários, mas pela qualidade.
Enquanto em "Shi Kong Zhi Chong" eram intensos, em "Bu Bu Wei Er" os beijos eram meio estranhos e atrapalhados por acessórios e em "The Best of Youth" eram intensos com aquela pitada mais realista já que a atriz ficava vermelha com muita facilidade (mostrando assim a intensidade da cena), aqui os beijos foram um banho de água fria, eram contidos, com as bocas meio que pressionadas e apenas uma movimentação de cabeças, então realmente a química entre os atores Wang Dao Tie e Wen Mo Yan não funcionou para mim.
Apesar disso, a Wen Mo Yan faz personagens sedutores muito bem, com aquele ar de 2FL ardilosa e provocadora, então acho que ela foi uma escolha bem correta para esta personagem. Assim como o Wang Dao Tie, por aparentar ser muito mais maduro do que os demais atores escalados, sua postura combina muito com o seu papel budista.

O drama segue a premissa da primeira adaptação, mas graças a Deus sem a trama da noiva arranjada, que para mim, não faz o menor sentido dado a natureza distante do ML.
Acho que o meu ranking final ficou em:
1. The Best of Youth - porque simplesmente eliminou plots que considero desnecessários.
2. Jin Ye Liao Dong Ta Xin - esta, pois gostei muito da escolha dos atores, apesar da intimidade falha.
3. Shi Kong Zhi Chong - pela atuação conjunta, apesar de falhas na personalidade do ML.
4. Bu Bu Wei Er - pela atuação falha de todos os atores, já que é a adaptação que parece ter o menor orçamento.
