Zhang Xin Kui Ai (2025)

Old recipe, great dish

Modest but talented and workaholic heroïne whose good will is taken for granted is neglected by her spoiled brat fiance who is romancing his green tea adoptive sis, slowly falls for his suave and commanding elder brother who's been longing for her for years. She thinks her fiance saved her life and gave three years of her life to him, but her memories of the event are blurry and the truth might be different from what she believed. Despite the very classic, unimaginative plot we've seen a thousand times (seriously is there still people out there who give themselves to their savior, in this day and age), it's one of the best verticals of the year in my opinion. It's very subdued, very classy, Lan Lan and Liu Xiaoxu are seriously impressive in their roles (I can't get enough of their combined mature, smooth energy), they make the usual tropes feel natural and believable by what I can only call movie magic. The drama is well shot, taking full advantage of the vertical frame to create scenes that are visually striking. It also has a budget, showing in classy outfits and sets (love the whole traditional artisan workshop they give her). The plot might seem boring and tired but don't overlook it, it's a gem.

Eu fiquei com a sensação o drama todo de que eu já tinha o assistido, pausei vi que havia outra versão, dei play, percebi que tinha visto patrocinado dos dois, mas a sensação se seguiu até uma cena específica que eu percebi que já tinha assistido kkkkkkkkkkkk masssss continuei né, já tava ali mesmo hahahah
As cenas de beijo no restaurante e na casa deram borboletas no estômago
O drama em si é bom, a atuação é boa, apesar de achar o 2ML chato demais, o avô também é um falso moralista de merda kkk
A história tem mais de 3 horas de duração e em 2h37, teve a risada mais genuína de um drama, parecia que os atores estavam lutando muito pra continuar a cena kkkkk
Mas houve outras cenas que parecia falta de ensaio/coreografia bem feita do que uma atitude genuína dos personagens.
