Absolutely worth your time!
To say I loved this drama would be an understatement. As Beautiful As You is a truly beautiful piece of work.
Yes, it starts a little slow, but given the nature of the plot, I understood. It’s a thoughtful, layered story that beautifully blends romance with business realism. And that’s what sets it apart. Unlike the usual pipe dream where a company goes from idea to instant success, this drama peels back the curtain and shows the gritty reality behind business decisions, startup struggles, and the personal sacrifices that come with it.
I have to say this. Seven Tan is fast becoming my favourite C-drama actress. She plays her roles with such authenticity and emotional precision. And of course, I’ve always loved Xu Kai , from Arsenal Military Academy to Yanxi Palace. While I initially struggled to buy into him as a modern-day CEO (he came off stiff at first), I’m glad to say he grew into the role beautifully. His transformation was subtle and satisfying.
Now, let’s talk about the side characters, oh, how I loved them! Every single one felt real, purposeful, and expertly portrayed. They weren’t just filler; they carried emotional weight and added richness to the narrative.
Honestly, I didn’t expect much when I started this show, especially considering the recent hit-or-miss wave of Chinese dramas. But this one? It surprised me. In the best way. It’s a solid drama, and the best I’ve seen this year.
If you’re someone who struggles to find a truly satisfying Cdrama — the kind that hits like Meet Yourself, The Story of Minglan, The Sword and the Brocade, Nothing But Thirty, or The First Half of My Life — then trust me: this is a must-watch.
It’s a 10 from me. And if you're unsure whether to give it a try, just do. It’ll grow on you, and you won’t regret it.
