Kisses of Sweet Passion

The plot was actually fine but no sparks between the leads

Okay, i watched this because i liked Du Yafei acting and *cough* to be honest i am not really fond of Liu Xiyu acting style, she actually have wooden expression but her good expertise she could build some romance chemistry and decent kisses with her Male Leads but i think her attempts is failed despite they are have plenty of good kisses. The one things that annoyed me, only Du Yafei voice was not original while another characters seems to use their real voice.

The development of their relationship feels unnatural; they didn't have much of a foundation beforehand, and then they suddenly slept together on their wedding day. It make me baffled.

The good point about this drama is SML. Although unknowingly in love and unable to get the girl, SML doesn't do anything inappropriate, making him more normal than the other male supporting characters in the same script.

FL isn't a naive innocent; she's clear-headed, independent, and rational, seeking revenge on the spot and handling situations calmly. ML is a perfect character: emotionally stable, gentle and considerate, and possesses the demeanor of a leader.

Although FL sometimes doesn't speak up, she doesn't really need to, ML notices anything amiss immediately, eliminating any possibility of misunderstanding. Besides, FL has a great older brother who helps her resolve internal family conflicts and acts as her support. From FL's perspective, the world couldn't be more perfect.

I still recommended this despite lack of spark between the leads

Slow burn but good kisses. Felt the pairing was missing spark

I watched this drama because I like both Du Ya Fei & Liu Xi Yu acting. I watched it within 1 or 2 days of its release. I thought this drama was just ok - I felt like Du Ya Fei and Liu Xi Yu pairing was missing spark.

What I liked:
1. Romance - Slow burn but full of affection. They were not shy about kissing once married.
2. Acting - I liked the performance by DYF and LXY. I liked his expression during the ending. They had good enough chemistry for their role.
3. ML characterisation - I knew she had a crush on her right fro'm the start. He was protective, nurturing & respectful.
4. FL characterisation - Sweet & nice even though she was young.
5. Ending - It was so sweet.

What I disliked:
1. SML - He was a scumbag for cheating on FL then wanting to get back with FL. Thankfully his character grew up.
2. Mixed signal - I liked FL's adopted brother but his arc felt a little like a potential love rival.
3. Antagonist - Supposedly betrothed ML fiancee was annoying. The mistress was annoying too.

Favourite scene
When ML made an excuse to stay over at FL's childhood home

Minha adaptação favorita.

Eu gosto muito dessa adaptação do web novel "Tian Yu Si Wen! Ling Zheng Hou Ye Ye Bei Qin Hong Wen", mas por algum motivo não a anotei em meus arquivos até que sua página estivesse no ar, mas hoje finalmente a reassisti ao reconhecer o pôster no YouTube.

Essa é, sem dúvidas, a melhor adaptação das quatro lançadas ao meu ver.

Família Jiang: Aqui nesta adaptação os pais dos ML e 2ML são mais carinhosos e mais decentes do que, por exemplo, em "Sweet Desire to Kiss Passionately". Lá, além das atuações não serem boas, usavam o casamento apenas como uma transação comercial, chegando a acreditar na chá verde e dando tapa na FL.

ML & FL: Eu simplesmente AMO a atuação do Du Ya Fei e da Liu Xi Yu juntos, parece extremamente natural, os beijos são doces, a química ótima, parece que eles realmente se divertiram gravando algumas cenas, as risadas pareciam bem sinceras, como por exemplo na cena em que o ML está bêbado. Apesar da FL ter atitudes imaturas, vale lembrar que ela tem apenas 20 anos e apesar de se dar muito bem com o ML, o peso da palavra casamento arranjado é bem forte há 10 anos convivendo com a família Jiang.

Atores de apoio: são nomes de peso, já bem conhecidos nos dramas verticais, o que eleva a produção como um todo. Apesar de não terem figurinos o suficiente, o coitado do 2ML passou 3 dias com o mesmo terno kkkk e a 2FL com seu único vestido vermelho em quase todo o drama kkkkkk

Eu acho ótimo a cena em que a FL é drogada e o ML mesmo a distância consegue acalmá-la, protegê-la e é o primeiro drama onde há seguranças cuidando de sua segurança.
