Let's take a second to appreciate the only drama where fake relationship is done right. I hate it when they're faking and they don't even try to look like a couple in front of others. Qin Shi and Yang Hua are doing it right! They touch, they talk, they act like a couple. Love it!
Yall are so weird, crying based only on the number of episodes. It's more likely it will be a slow burn than an angst. Also, must every romance drama be all flowers and no conflicts? I'm all in for character development and mutual growth. Yall calm down and just watch it with an easy heart
ep 1 subbed here, under a different name thohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbO2oy6LUIY&list=RDCMUCA4t8Xogn8tR_0TunUjdm3w&index=10&ab_channel=%E5%8D%8E%E8%AF%AD%E5%BD%B1%E8%A7%86%E5%89%A7%E5%9C%BA-BestChineseDrama
Finally ended!!!! AROTLF was boring. So so boring. From beginning to end, saving some scenes, it gave me boredom. The only reason I was able to get until the end was the daily episodes, it held me back from dying out of boredom. It's such a weird drama. I see the episodes going on, I see things happening, but it doesn't feel like it's happening. It's a bland, souless drama. Which is really a disappointment because Cai Rong made an amazing job in Intense Love, which is a drama very similar in many points.
In the similarities with Intense Love: The plot of FL chasing ML - much, much more fun in IL. You laugh, you cheer, you even get shy from the way they look at each other. Not in AROTLF. I was bored through all the first part of the drama. and no, it wasn't about the 2nd couple cuz I skipped most of their scenes. It was almost 20 episodes of nothing really happening.
Leads personalities - Jinbei also was a celebrity with cutesy personality and strong character, going back to back from strong, to cute, to coquettish, to kind. Zhang Yunxi isn't the best actress, but she sold me Jinbei's every features. YSX's Yu Meiren didn't make me sympathize, her cutesy persona was cringe and annoying at times. No coquettish at all. Her kindness was ok, but I just didn't buy her badass moments. MLs too, both are smart, handsome and cold, but you could tell when IL's lead was falling for her. Ding Yuxi's micro expressions were so good, the changes in his eyes were the cutest. Binbin's Zhuang Yu? Bleh. He only makes it clear when he comes back. Even so it seemed so sudden. Although I think it was also the fault of the script, the actor didn't help
FL got a celebrity rival - In IL, the FL's rival really acts. She moves the story and makes her known. The drama still a light romance, but you remember the rival exists and is an a$$. Not in AROTLF. She's useless. She has no presence. When she shows up, it always seems random and gives you no real feeling. She's just there.
Other couples - AROTLF got one second couple and it was freaking annoying and tiring and boring. IL got two second couple and although I didn't like them, they were interesting and they didn't take up the leads' screen time.
Anyways, if you want a cute and funny drama where celebrity FL chases the non-celebrity ML, I highly recommend Intense Love. And if secondary couples annoys you, you can just skip their scenes, the drama will be as good.
