cutest chemistry, beautiful love but editing/direction could've been better
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 of her agency)
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.
what i mean to say is, yes she seemed distant and stiff in the start of the show, but it gradually goes away as they get closer and closer together, duh you don't make lovely eyes and smiles at someone you jst met and dont like. LHC is a wonderful actress, with better directing during super romantic scenes and a bit more experience, she can nail it!
CLZ is an amazing male lead, cute, adorable and whipped. The ring idea was the most creative proposal scene i have seen in a cdrama yet! 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 beginning tbh, but glad i stuck around.
some things i didn't like were well,
1)the fake kisses could've been handled 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, hand holding 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!!
