with the age gap, does it have some RR themes or is it the usual kinda dynamic b/w the leads?
haha thank you!! from the cover it looks like a steamy romance, so i was wondering if the fl takes the lead or is more dominant. turns out its more of a mystery thriller? lmaoo
FINALLY FINISHED!detail review incoming:this is easily one of the cutest cdramas of the year but some people aren't…
yes ik this section isnt the place for reviews, but i wanted people to at least read this before being influenced by the bad reviews and not giving this a try! ^^
FINALLY FINISHED! detail review incoming: this is easily one of the cutest cdramas of the year but some people aren't ready for that conversation. If fake kisses and or lack of them bothers you, may be skip this one. i might agree with some stuff about it but one thing i won't is that the chemistry is ''bad'' nah i call bs, the chemistry here is the STRONGEST and most ADORABLE, and you can really feel it when you get past your hate for FL actress. (even though nothing is fs that no kissing was her choice or her agencys)
you can especially understand it when you realize LHC is playing XZ's role perfectly, XZ is meant to be cold,awkward and stoic. Why she is that way is explained clearly in the last few episodes, she becomes apathetic to the point she couldn't even cry. There is this entire episodes where she battles through it and finally lets her emotions out. she builds a wall around herself when she's with new people and doesn't emotionally involve herself with them, but with people she is close with, she jokes around, smiles and laugh, including after she got together with the ML.
moreover, for me personally? i see the love on her face and in her eyes. The birthday gift she set up for him, the heartfelt comments she wrote to him about the grabbing the last rose on earth for him, the letter after their break up where she said she would always love him, and before dating, when she challenged that guy to race her so he would apologize to the ML for bad mouthing him, i can go on but yeah. Her love is there, not outright loud or anything sure i agree but everyone's way of loving is different and i think how XZ does it is cute.
CLZ is an amazing male lead, cute, adorable and whipped. wang anyu did a great job in this!! i will be checking more of his work haha
i do have to say, as much as i love it, it got particularly good in the last few episodes, or well, after they started dating in university reason being the hateful comments kinda killed the fun for me in the begining tbh, but glad i stuck around.
some things i didn't like were well, 1)the fake kisses could've been handleled better 2)their romantic scenes were cute, but there was this lack of skinship, LHC only does not do kiss scenes from her previous role is ''derailment'' she has done forehead kisses, handholding's and cheek kisses, i mean some were def here but i would've loved more! 3)some things didn't make sense to me, his past, what hes doing rn yknow his terms of study and career, and why they broke up before uni.
but all in all i love this series solid, 8/10. dont listen to the comments, go for it!!
bad actress in romantic scenes they said! I read many comments specifically say she's cold and have no different…
mann i wish i could have a legit answer to these questions as well! bcz i was jst as confused as you! like dont get me wrong i am loving the chemistryy, but some things dont make sense to me, but heres what i understood. -for one, i guess they broke up bcz he was going abroad, and they both wanted to focus on their own studies then commit to a long distance rls. -secondly, she was playing hard to get mostly bcz she was angry, he didn't tell her or let her know that he came to china, so she thought she got played and the break up was for nothing, -i think they get back together at arounddd, episode 16 or 17!!
Nah, he was completely crazy in the novel too. Like a lost puppy, stuck in his own jealous world without any sympathy…
oh man i totally get you! but i def think you gotta give''lighter and princess'' a try, the FL cares for the ML so much! no stupid jealousy or the ML having no personality other then liking the FL, its a very cute drama!
bad actress in romantic scenes they said! I read many comments specifically say she's cold and have no different…
later on in the story her coldness and stoic personality is explained as a result of her mother's death, after her passing she became apathetic to the point she couldn't even cry. And as someone who is watching the drama, almost about to finish it, she builds a wall around herself when she's with new people and doesn't emotionally involve herself with them, but with people she is close with, she jokes around, smiles and laugh, including after she got together with the ML.
moreover, for me personally? i see the love on her face and in her eyes.

shes not outright or very ''loud'' with her love for him, but its definitely there with her smiles and when she teases him. ^^ <3
oh goshh ep 19!! his birthday scene? they took my HEARTTT they're so adorable all giggly and smiley omfg ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
''i believe love should make you strong'' ''if there was only one rose in the world,i would rush forward and grab it for you, even if i was aged 80 and in a wheelchair'' AHH XU ZHI THE WOMAN THAT YOU AREEEE
lmfao they keep getting cuter as the eps go onn AHHH the way she went in for the kiss in ep 10?!? SCREW THE RAINN. Their little banters filled w/ subtle flirting is EVERYTHING to me
How much do Chinese doramas differ from Korean and Japanese ones? I have only watched Chinese films.
for cdramas, the stories are new, complex and fun in an engaging way. I kdramas, especially the recents ones, all have the same storyline or similar tropes, the acting is also exaggerated many times but thats jst me, u won't find that with cdramas. The humour is also relativity better and easy to get,but thats also jst me. and while cdramas are longers eps, they have a shorter running time. Like a cdrama can have 30 eps where each run for 30/40 mins while kdramas have 16 episodes but each run for an hour or more. i haven't watched many jdramas, but for the romance ones, cdrama and jdramas are kinda the same? in terms of like the quirky characters and interesting dynamics. but i think you should watch one and decide for yourself! for romance some really good ones are -lighter and princess -the first frost -hidden love if you want a really REALLY good one that's centered around life and youth ''northward'' is it and ''when i fly towards you'' too! if you want thriller and mystery ''reset'' is a masterpiece with only 15 eps! i recommend ppl to watch ''derailment'' a lot if they want subtle romance with mystery and thrill but it can be a hit or miss for most.
although I appreciate they make some changes - they cut some annoying part of Xuzhi roommate- 2nd cp have better…
exactly!! whenever i hate a drama i drop it silently, spreading hate is weird, especially directing ALL of it towards the fl? not even the character but the ACTRESS? so immature. and you jst spoke my mind, someone fire the production scenes, so many scenes are very awfully shot, that some of the leads encounters end up looking awkward. and thank you for telling me!! thats sad to hear, and! im not seeing any irl interviews of the cp as well!! like what happened to that! tencent/wetv is handling the entire thing so awfully

the last episode, oh gosh they're soooo precioussss!!! luzhou is so whipped the ring idea was so smart and cute!
-for one, i guess they broke up bcz he was going abroad, and they both wanted to focus on their own studies then commit to a long distance rls.
-secondly, she was playing hard to get mostly bcz she was angry, he didn't tell her or let her know that he came to china, so she thought she got played and the break up was for nothing,

and ppl say LHC is a ''bad'' actress-
they're so adorable all giggly and smiley omfg ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

AHH XU ZHI THE WOMAN THAT YOU AREEEE

i haven't watched many jdramas, but for the romance ones, cdrama and jdramas are kinda the same? in terms of like the quirky characters and interesting dynamics.
but i think you should watch one and decide for yourself!
for romance some really good ones are
-lighter and princess -the first frost
-hidden love
if you want a really REALLY good one that's centered around life and youth ''northward'' is it and ''when i fly towards you'' too!
if you want thriller and mystery ''reset'' is a masterpiece with only 15 eps! i recommend ppl to watch ''derailment'' a lot if they want subtle romance with mystery and thrill but it can be a hit or miss for most.
and you jst spoke my mind, someone fire the production scenes, so many scenes are very awfully shot, that some of the leads encounters end up looking awkward.
and thank you for telling me!! thats sad to hear, and! im not seeing any irl interviews of the cp as well!! like what happened to that! tencent/wetv is handling the entire thing so awfully
esp after all the hate they got, you have great taste sister.
btw what did anyu say? and where?
