Why does Esther Yu act and sound like a child in her projects? It's so off-putting. Even her hair styles look…
That 'child-like' style is definitely a signature of some of her most popular characters, like Orchid in Love Between Fairy and Devil or Cai Minmin in Find Yourself. It's a deliberate choice by the directors and the actress for those specific cute or innocent roles. However, she's also taken on much more mature and serious roles with very different looks and voices, such as Yun Weishan in My Journey to You and the multi-layered character in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy. If that particular style isn't for you, it might be worth checking out her non-cutesy projects to see her range!
To be fair, she sends him a photo with the guy first… then he walks in and finds her unconscious in a room with…
I see your point about the photo setting off his anger! But even with the context, it felt like a cheap writing move to skip the basic question. A simple line of dialogue - "GET AWAY FROM HER! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" before the first punch would have allowed the helper guy to instantly explain himself, and it would have shown Jin Zhao's protective instinct without making him look completely unhinged to an outsider.
So, while I agree his rage was earned, I still think a slightly better-written exchange could have achieved the same drama without the plot hole of the misunderstanding being immediately resolved by violence.
I am absolutely loving Speed and Love 2025 so far! The chemistry, the pacing, everything is just perfect and has me hooked.
However, I have to point out that one particular moment in Episode 6 i.e The fight scene between the ML, Jin Zhao, and the guy who was helping the drunk FL (I think his name was Lin Sui something?) felt incredibly unnecessary and a bit jarring. Instead of immediately throwing punches after seeing the FL passed out, I really think Jin Zhao's first reaction should have been to ask, "What happened to her?" His action felt so rushed and irrational in that specific context, leading to a completely avoidable misunderstanding and fight. It was a classic 'misunderstanding' trope, but it felt overly dramatic when a simple question could have diffused the situation instantly.
This is a minor point, though! Other than this small moment of plot frustration, the drama has been 10/10 for me up until now.
Thank you. I absolutely agree. It’s a shame when good discussion is derailed by that kind of immaturity, but it’s encouraging to know others see it too.
Your review is thoughtful and informative but you may be getting downvoted because of the review date. Your review…
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to read and upvote my review! I truly appreciate the support and the validation.
It’s disheartening to deal with targeted downvotes, but feedback like yours is exactly what makes the effort worthwhile :)) I'm glad my review resonated with you. I will certainly keep posting honest reviews in the future!

Thank you for pointing out the review date—that’s a fair observation and I can see why it might have raised questions.
To clarify, I initially posted a preliminary impression on November 22nd, based on the first four episodes, and I specifically stated in that initial review that I would update it with a full review after the drama concluded. My current review is the completed, comprehensive review, updated once all episodes had aired.
As for the accusation of bias: I completely stand by the sincerity of my review and my rating of 8.5. If I were truly a 'crazy fan or biased towards the drama' trying to inflate the score for my favorite actors, I would have easily given it a perfect 10 or 9.5. My rating of 8.5 reflects a genuine, honest assessment of what i felt while watching the drama and its strengths and flaws.
My goal is always to provide a fair and honest perspective, not to hype a show unfairly. I hope this clarifies the timeline and the integrity of my rating.
I posted a sincere review for Love on the Turquoise Land (2025), arguing that its current rating on kisskh (7.7) is ridiculously low and unbelievable in the comment section, given the incredible production value, cast chemistry, and overall execution.
In response to simply expressing this opinion, my review started being targeted with a wave of downvotes since yesterday. It’s truly disappointing to see that instead of engaging in a respectful discussion about the drama's merits, certain individuals have resorted to this kind of despicable, targeted behavior to boost their ego and silence dissenting voices.
Frankly, I don't know why my honest opinion has offended you so deeply, but let me be absolutely clear: I stand by what I said. This drama deserves a much higher rating, and the attempt to silence reviewers who believe this only proves how insecure the opposition is regarding the drama's actual quality.
Downvote my review all you want. I will continue to speak my truth about the quality of this drama. You can get more angry.
I think iqiyi is trying a new strategy for marketing on us
yes! it seem so cuz look at the no. of watchers above..they were 9562 something i'm not sure and today they are 10,005 even tho the drama hasn't been released yet and also look at the spam people have done in the comment section ( this is only making the drama famous lol, ain't complaining tho ) . I just want them to release it asap so that i can binge it hehe
