Loving Strangers (2025)

The aura looks right but chemistry is not there.

I was reluctant to watch this drama but my Tiktok friends suggest me to watch this and i am not regretting my choice.

Wang Chanpeng and Lin Zixuan had perfect aura for Wen Xi and Shang Chen but for chemistry they are still weak compare to other version. But supporting cast especially FL real mother and SFL acting are decent to watch.

Apart from the premise, it doesn't feel like a short drama at all, giving it a refreshing feel. ML, in particular, is fantastic. He doesn't overstep his bounds when it comes to the FL's affairs, giving her complete trust and letting her handle things herself while quietly supporting and protecting her from behind.

FL's real mother, in particular, vividly portrays her inner turmoil between her two daughters, her guilt towards her daughter, and her shift from doting and indulgent towards the SFL r to resignation and eventual abandonment. This makes the audience very engaged. The overall story structure is complete, the plot is coherent, the content is rich, and the details are well-done. The only possible weakness is the romance between the ML and FL. They seem detached and each other their appearance makes it seem more like an older man/younger woman relationship, so it lacks sweetness.

I fast forwarded 1.5x through only ML and FL scenes, while I thoroughly enjoyed the other storylines, especially those of the SFL. The costumes, props, and sets are excellent, the visual quality is high, the music is just right, the filters are natural, and the original voice acting contributes to a very good viewing experience. Still waiting for older brother appearance in season 2.

Recommended to watch.
