A Republican Era minidrama done right!
“Grab Your Love” did what so minidramas could not. it gave us a Republican Era drama that is filled with likable characters, depth, healthy relationships, etc.
Our two leads were excellent. Wang Xuan absolutely kills it as Qin Zhan, and Tan Yanyan delivers a very likable and strong FL in Min Jiangxi (though I could have used a bit more oomph from her when compared to the fantastic ML). Unlike many Republican Era dramas, you won’t find the ML forcing himself on the FL, abusing her, manipulating her, etc. He tries to scare her off in the first episode but you quickly realize it’s an act. Instead, their relationship develops naturally throughout the show, and when they get together, there’s no stupid misunderstanding. They work together to get justice.
Don’t get me started on the chemistry and kiss scenes—wow wow wow!
The plot was also different than the run of the mill minidrama, though I could have done without yet another psycho female after the ML. Overall, I found it very entertaining to go on this story of justice, revenge, and romance. And yes… a happy ending!
Obviously, it has its flaws like any minidrama would, but on my scale for minidramas, this goes up with my very faves. This show reminds me why I keep trying these shows.
“Grab Your Love” is a great watch that you can have done in no time. Definitely recommend.
