i hate to say this, but the show was disappointing for me

After a few months, I feel ready to write a decent review about this drama.

I confess that I waited a long, long time for "As Beautiful As You". Not only because I love Seven and I missed her on screen, but also because the teasers showed a excellent chemistry between her and Xu Kai — which really came true, since the chemistry between the two is very palpable.

I want to be succinct here. So I'll summarize as much as I can.

The drama has an interesting story. It's standard cdramas storyline, of course. That college/high school love, the reunion, the ML who is platonically in love with the FL and doesn't see anyone else. The SF who is obsessed with ML for some reason. Blah, blah. These aspects, for those who have watched several cdramas like me, are a bit outdated, but that didn't really bother me at all.

What, honestly, got on my nerves was the way all the women were portrayed here. There were only two options for the women here: to be “saved” by male characters or to base their entire personalities on chasing after a guy. This left me extremely frustrated, since all the women in this drama are amazing and strong.

While FL was criticized — whether through the nuances of the drama or through comments from viewers — her business partner made a million mistakes and no one never even considered he was not good enough. Xu Kai’s character was portrayed as perfect the whole time, even when he made stupid mistakes based on his own arrogance.

In my opinion, the drama did a good job of approaching the characters’ feelings and reactions in a more realistic way — the grief, the anger, the breakup. But it did a bad job of adding nuance to the characters and simply condemning the women as “weak, stupid, and emotional” and praising the men for “being rational.”

"As Beautiful As You" had great potential and a good cast, but it disappointed — for me — with a weak script and poor development of the secondary characters (I only liked one of the best friends and the owner of the bar).

Portraying Seven's character as a nice girl and a "people pleaser" was annoying. I just wanted her to explode in anger once. She had that right.

Anyway. Not even the good chemistry and the kisses saved it.

interesting, despite the cliches

I wasn't expecting much from this drama, but it pleasantly surprised me in some ways.

In my opinion, cdrama releases so far - specifically talking about the 1st half of 2024 - are very weak compared to 2023's releases, so a different romantic comedy with a FL who is a liar and smart was everything I needed to be more optimistic about.

Although there are some cliche aspects like, the annoying girl who runs after ML and does a baby voice, and the annoying senior, the drama unfolds in an interesting way with several layers.

The main actors' chemistry is really great, they really worked together on screen, however, the kisses were bad - I wasn't optimistic about the kisses, as the actress has shown in previous works that she isn't a good kisser on screen . But it's okay.

Finally, despite the slightly confusing ending, I think this is a good drama to watch on a weekend; to laugh, to have fun with FL's setups, and to enjoy the moments of intimacy between the couple - they're really sweet!

I think it's worth giving it a try. It's not the best thing you'll watch, but it won't be the worst by far.

It's cute, but there's nothing special about it

I discovered this drama through Instagram, and as I really like office romances, I went to watch it.

At first, it was very interesting; I really liked the way the FL adapted quickly and didn't hesitate to work hard to achieve her goals

The office part was pretty cool, but what piss me a little was the couple's delay in getting together — because, obviously, the female protagonist always needs to "wait for the man to confess his feelings and take the initiative" *insert an emoji here scrolling the eyes*.

Anyway. Despite those annoying stuff, the drama is cute. The character development of the protagonists was really cool to watch, and although it had the meaningless clichés — the annoying second lead — and, obviously, the random drama at the end, it was a good experience

It's a light drama, with good chemistry between the actors and decent acting, but nothing unforgettable

a long review for a for a rollercoaster of emotions

I have a lot to say about this drama, so if you haven't watched it yet and want an opinion (beware of spoilers!) feel free to read my LONG review.

I'll say one thing: Gen Z is a good drama, but it suffered from repetitive and dumb script choices.

If there's Lusi and the topic interests me, I'm in. That's how I got to Gen Z. I thought about watching it while was airing, but I decided to watch it when I was ready to really dive into the narrative.

This cdrama was a rollercoaster for me. I felt anger, hate, sadness, pride, happiness, anger again, warm in my heart, and many other sensations.

I had never seen anything about Chinese medicine, and I found it very interesting. Despite a lot of information that I couldn't understand - about 75%, if I'm being honest - at various times I managed to apply the things that Dr. Ren taught, in my life. Although, of course, I think that not everything is beautiful and not all things in life you will achieve just by wanting and having faith.

Following the trajectory of the main character, Tou Tou, was my motivation to finish this drama, to be quite honest. Yes, the core of the family is interesting, but the lawyer and that envious poor boy got on the nerve. Until now, I don't know what Shen Pen saw in her, for God's sake. Well, he was the one who married her, not me, lol.

Anyway, I didn't find anyone outside of the family nucleus, apart from the best friend, interesting to follow. I thought there were so many people that it ended up being poorly developed. Interesting characters, like the doctor of Western medicine, or, as I said before, the best friend, could have been explored more than the annoying lawyer who, despite having evolved, was just annoying and a snob.

Now talking about unnecessary characters: Meng Meng.

I don't think her story wasn't important, but her existence within the plot had no use other than developing the ML's romance with the FL, and make he grows up as a person (and it's good that he became better at some point because, for the love of God, he was such a spoiled brat).

In my opinion, I would have had no problem placing her as a student or as a second female; I would prefer that to simply watching a huge disservice to psychological disorders by placing a character who clearly had a compromised mental condition to be stuck with a 25-year-old guy who basically played the role of her pseudo-boyfriend (and, no matter what you guys say, it did look like a boyfriend. sorry, guys).

There are a lot of things in this drama that I can tolerate if I try really hard, but not this one. There is no plausible and justifiable reason other than that they needed a way out for the two main characters to get even closer and decided to make the worst possible choice: creating a poorly developed female character that will only serve as a development tool for the male character. End. As always.

Like, why does she live in ML's parents' house without any psychological support? is there any logic to this? It's OBVIOUS that whoever watches it will be annoyed by the character, because there's no explanation for 27 episodes about what the hell could have happened with her!

Now, let's be honest: this drama was a representation of the patriarchal system in practice.

Basically, we had all men (the father, the ML, and the poor envious man) making mistakes after mistakes and having the women (whether the wife or the FL) wipe out and take the hit for them. This irritated me SO MUCH throughout the drama, but so much so that it got to a point where I just wanted to curse the writers.

In my opinion, the drama wanted to show that not all the wisdom and altruism in the world is a solution to pettiness. And that's exactly what pp's mother said: we give our best to strangers.

The father, basically, has all the ideas and dumps them in everyone's lap to solve them. my wife to clean it, the other one to lend it to me, this one to solve it for me, my disciple to solve the shit I caused by lying to two patients, and so it goes. Everyone smoothed things over for him, and I thought the words his son gave him was well deserved; He is extremely selfish, indeed.

The son is not left behind, obviously. He almost killed FL with his irresponsibility, he let her take the blame for him TWICE and it took the girl almost dying for him for him to become "a man". At least, he evolved, right? There are people, like the poor envious man, who spent the entire drama lamenting how difficult his life was, humiliated the FL, set her up, and other awful things but, of course, carried on as if nothing had happened, like ?????

Well, I've been through a lot of emotions with GEN Z at many, many points. I don't think it's a bad series, I just think that maybe it tested the intelligence of those who watch it a little, putting things that don't make any sense to the plots, actions without consequences (especially if coming from men), and endings without... Outcomes (?). To this day, I wonder whether or not FL is the successor.

The writers were like: Could it be? find it out!

Other than that, I loved it. I complained, but I liked it. I just thought it was kind of silly that the actor didn't kiss because he was an idol; There are so many idols out there who do this and it's fine, you know? He looks like that boy from Miss Crown and Mr. Lizard, who can't kiss because of his wife. If you want to become an actor and have these silly impediments, honestly...

Anyway. Watch it, give it a chance. Lusi puts on a great performance, we have good performances from other actors too, interesting reflections, beautiful people, hints of romance and a wonderful protagonist.

Interesting and different, despite the drawn-out ending

I want to start by saying that this is Miles Wei's best drama, without any doubt (my personal opinion)

I May Love You reminded me a little of The Love You Give Me in some ways, especially in the way FL makes ML have to fight for her. In my opinion, nothing more fair for two male protagonists who didn't try hard enough when it was necessary.

Following with my review, I want to highlight that, just like in Rising With The Wind, we have obstacles that make sense. There are no annoying second females or second leads - although the director, Mr. Lu, fell in love in 3 seconds of the scene with 3 different people, and one of them was FL -, or controlling and irritating families interfering in their son's relationships as if they could not have autonomy.
Yes, we had misunderstandings... and there were several (lol) but, at least, they were being resolved one by one.

FL's development was very interesting, I really loved the way she matured and instead of making a man the center of her life, she started to focus on herself and her work. That was admirable. And best of all: she didn't go back on her decision, even after admitting her feelings.

ML is also the typical role that Miles usually plays, however, I think this role of his is a more mature, sexier and more interesting role than the others. It still has that "science teacher" and "mommy's boy at 30" vibe, but anyway, I think it's my favorite character out of all the characters he's played.

Regarding the secondary characters, I really liked Secretary Hao, I also liked ML's cute sister, and FL's best friend. Although I thought ML's best friend was an empty character, he surprised me with a levelheadedness that I didn't expect.

However, despite all the positive aspects I mentioned, I think that the excessive conveniences, such as ML's sister suddenly becoming an actress - just for the couple's plot with the director - and the delay for the couple to get together, made the last 4 episodes became dragging for me.

At some point, I just wanted to finish the series.
Anyway, I May Love You is surprisingly better than I expected, it has GREAT performances - especially Huang Ri Ying, who was really great on her role - and delivered excellent chemistry between the main actors.

It deserves more attention and recognition, in fact.

It had great potential but it didn't work for me

Let's start with a fact: I only became interested in watching this drama because of Xing Fei.
I love her and her dramas, so, even though I don't really like historical dramas and i don't often have this genre on my "tbw" list, I decided to watch the drama while it was airing. Just because i was curious about these two actors together.

Okay. I want to say that I enjoyed a lot their pre-couple dynamic, and I think that although there were several plot holes, like ML quickly learning to use technology and FL's parents being so "understanding" about the presence of an unknown man Inside the house, I decided to just not think too much, not take it too seriously and just have fun watching. Until it started to not be that fun, and it became repetitive.

The "CON" side:

1. ML being extremely jealous to the point of being exaggerated: I really didn't like the restaurant scene. I understand the clichés, and I know they flirted, etc., but it still bothered me. I thought he was a bit controlling to a certain point.

2. Annoying SF: I always complain about this, but I can't take SF or SL anymore. I just think it's almost 2024 and that doesn't happen in real life. Sorry, it's so outdated.

3. Annoying young brother: There is already "the time" complication, in my opinion, it wasn't necessary to place ML's younger brother as his "rival", you know? He seems like just a boy who didn't have much love and recognition in his life, FL was just someone who gave him what he needed and he mistook that for love.

4. Repetitive plot: that's it. We just watched the same things again and again

5. Bad kissing scenes: Despite the good chemistry with the ML actor and good acting, Xing Fei's kiss scenes are usually bad, and in "Love Is An Accident" we have the same situacion. In my opinion, the actress seems very mechanical in this type of scene.

6. Too much episodes

The "PRO" side:

1. Carismatic FL: I love Xing Fei's acting, and in this drama, she did a really good job.

2. Really likeable SC's

3. Amazing chemistry between the leads

4. Romantic story

5. Really beautiful scenery

6. Light and funny, overall

So, that was my review.
I don't think it was a bad drama, I just think it could have been better.

The perfect drama to watch and forget about the world a little

I really enjoyed this cdrama, more than I expected. I thought it was going to be a low budget and a cheap drama, but it was really decent and touching.

First, I enjoyed how the timeline of their relationship and life stages developed.

I thought it was cool that everything was natural. The FL started being a naive and childish little girl to become an incredible woman, but without losing her essence. I really liked that the character has matured, but who she is has just evolved.

The ML is ok. He is quiet and reserved, respectful, the typical clingy and super passionate boyfriend of these youth Cdramas, so, after all, nothing much different or special about him. Jun's performance was average, but he did well and surprise me in the marriage proposal scene. it was really emotional for me.

I thought the FL actress stole the show for her, this girl is super charismatic, lol.

The chemistry was great, I LOVED them together, not to mention the kisses and their evolution starting to have an interest in each other, the sexuality and desires topics were approached as something natural and not seen as taboo here.

Overall, "Exclusive Fairy Tale" was a great drama, but I really think that topics like harassment could be better addressed and seriously treated, and, of course, I would like to see a little more of their development at work.

I also missed finally having an inclusion of an LGBTQIA+ character in cdramas, as, in my opinion, Yin Zi Han is. It's pretty obvious that he spent his entire high school - and probably life, lol - being obsessed over a guy for no reason, and that fixation wasn't just a desire to prove himself better. Tbh, even the cdrama made a joke out of it, with the fact that he and Ling Chao they are "a match made by heaven".

Despite those things, i really enjoyed the experience and have nothing to complain about it. It's a good drama, I liked it a lot.

Disappointing, but had good potential

To be honest, I was really excited to watch it the moment I saw the poster, and even more so after seeing the trailer. Sadly, it turned out to be disappointing.

The first 11 episodes are great, lively, manage to mix romance and office business very well, however, after the following episodes, everything became boring. In my opinion, unlike "Here We Meet Again" - using a fresh drama as an example - "Sweet And Cold" failed to convince me of the balance between romance and office. Which is a pity, cause I think the chemistry between the actors was sorely wasted. To be honest, the secondary characters' relationships were more interesting to follow than the main characters', especially the best friend's relationship.

I really found it positive to bring more conversations about feminism, domestic violence and female independence into a Chinese drama, and I'm really enjoying the trend of talking about it, such as "The Love You Give Me". That part was what I liked the most.

But I missed them as a couple, I missed the male lead having more initiative towards his father, you know? It was a very dumb and disrespectful idea to his girlfriend to fake a marriage while he was in a relationship, even though he discussed it and was sincere, it's still so silly! After all, the male lead must be around 27, 28 years old, right? How can he let his father tell him who he should marry? So what if his father's company goes bankrupt, will he sacrifice his happiness for it? This is something I just can't understand in some Asian dramas no matter how hard I try.

The whole part about the female figure and misogyny was well put, maybe if the drama wasn't sold as an office romance, but a drama focused on women and their relationships, I would have liked it more, as I wouldn't have expected to watch it an adult romance with flirting, relationship building and work balance.

Overall, despite having several interesting topics and a good female lead, "Sweet And Cold" wasn't that "sweet", to be honest, it was even a little bitter from so disappointing. It's really a pity, cause I enjoyed the FL so much, but I find this cdrama habit of thinking that because a woman is very strong and more introspective she needs to be "cold" and has no right to be delicate, it's as if women don't could have dualities, you know?

Despite everything, at least we finally get to see 3 healthy relationships at the same time. No arm pulling or childish exaggerations.

Much better than many hyped cdramas out there

In my opinion, 2023 is the year of mini cdramas, because, with "Miss Mystery", we had another mini cdrama that was much better than several hyped and large budget cdramas out there.

An interesting script, great chemistry between the lead actors and a story that makes sense, at least to me.

The mood of the drama is dark, mysterious and sexy at the same time, so I think that anyone looking for a cdrama in this style, "Miss Mystery" is perfect.

The FL is an anti-heroine, and I love it when FL's are like that, because generally cdramas like to infantilize women and make them exist just for male validation. At the same time that she is strong and powerful, she also had the chance to experience love.

I like it when female characters are simply normal, able to move between vulnerability and strength, and not just be "cute" or just "independent". Women can be several things at the same time.

Furthermore, the story, despite being short, delivers a good conclusion. I really liked it, and I will definitely rewatch it at some point.

a great romance, but i was expecting more

I confess that I waited a long time - really a long time - for a Portuguese subtitle for this cdrama, especially because I love the two main actors. When it finally came out complete and fully subtitled, I was full of expectations.

What I have to say is that "Exploration Method Of love" was everything I expected, and at the same time, it wasn't.

I expected a fun mess, and obviously, I got that, but I also got a more mature, adult relationship.

I was expecting a more adult romance, and yes, there was that, but at the same time I felt like they cut A LOT of things. This thing about China removing kiss scenes - which, btw, is fcking annoying - already happened with the drama that the same ML actor, Gao Han Yu, acted in, "Dine With Love", which had GREAT Kiss Scenes cut out. This ends up discouraging me a little, I confess. It becomes frustrating, especially when it comes to romance dramas with characters in their almost 30s. Makes no sense to me.

Anyway

Well, the drama has this more realistic aspect of a romantic relationship; without annoying SL or FL and without annoying and controlling families trying to control everything, but, from another perspective, the series starts to get a little stuck and gets a little lost in the sameness: we have this cycle of the female protagonist being a little too stubborn in owning your feelings, and this happens over and over again.

In my opinion, it's a reasonable cdrama that I expected - a little - more kissing scenes and a better development at the end. The ending was REALLY pretty weak.

A couple more episodes to close with a flourish would be more interesting.

Other than that, I would recommend it, despite the negative points; especially due to the super healthy relationship and the wonderful female lead.

PS; very good chemistry between the actors

one of the best of the year

I'm not surprised I loved this drama cuz I don't think Gong Jun and Elaine would deliver anything less than amazing

I don't know where to start and I don't want to this review be too long, but firstly, I think China should release more cdramas like this, where the couples' problems and the scripts are based on life decisions and setbacks, and not on outdates clichés, like, the silly "love rivals fights" or second leads/females annoying tropes, you know?

I loved every second of this drama. The entire evolution of the Fl's character and the history of her family linked to the factory, this duality between ethics and empathy related to the male protagonist, the construction of friendships in unexpected moments and the two sides of each character, which can be selfish or generous, depending on the situation

I also really liked how the chemistry between the couple was built. A true relationship between adults, with flirtation and interest, but without leaving aside goals and career. In my opinion, despite the more "open" ending between their relationship, I believe it was the fairest. In the protagonist's place, I don't know if i would be able to forgive ML.

PS: I love the fact that we didn't have annoying and controlling parents trying to ruin the main's couple relationship, thank god!

PS: 2: And I loved that chinese writers are discovering that man and woman CAN BE friends without having any romantic feelings at all. I'm a fool for the FL and the cute guy friendship

Furthermore, the negative part, at least for me, was the side couple. They just had no chemistry, and the FL's best friend had more chemistry with her than the girl he liked, which doesn't even make sense, lol. The sister's character is also boring, selfish and dull. I have nothing against the actress, I like her in "Sweet Teeth", but I didn't find her interesting.

I will definitely rewatch it at some point. I found it touching, with a good script, a good female lead and extremely catchy. It's a hidden gem in the sea of cdramas released in 2023.

a mature romance slice of life typo

i'll be quick in this review, cuz i don't think i have to much to say or complain about, lol

ok. this is a really good series, but only for slight-and-slow-romance office-trope lovers. if you like to see action and things happening fast, "fake it till you make it" it's not your choice right now.

we have a excellent chemistry between the main couple and a interessing sexual tension happening during the drama. not to metion the realistic way things develop between them; It's actually more believable the way it happened, normally, I can't believe people fall in love so quickly like they do in most dramas I watch.

in this series we have two grown adults discovering together what means to really love and accept someone, so you'll be frustrated, angry, sad, excited and happy at the same time, cuz i think this is what really means to be in love with someone. people are not just one thing.

i loved to watch them flirting, i miss this in dramas sooo much; i miss the tension, touches and the moments "before" they got finally together, you know? and "fake it till you make it" delivered that to me.

the office part was a little bit boring sometimes, but this is normal. despite not being able to understand most of what it means, I still managed to have fun

The others characters were interesting, I liked that there was no such thing as "good people and bad people", everyone has a negative and positive side. although, tbh, I was irritated with the FL's cousin the entire series, she is very snobbish and spoiled.

ok, that's it. my verdict is that it is a good cdrama, with an interesting romance and great production, but it may bore those who enjoy quick development and big plots.

A great drama

I found this cdrama by accident, but ended up liking it a lot.

Despite the subtitles being pretty regular, and the fact that I had to fit the words together like jigsaw puzzles to be able to translate them, I managed to understand most of it, or at least, I would say, about 80%.

The drama is good, quite different for a office romance. Indeed, it has the office cliché with the boss and the secretary trope, but it is much more than just that.

There are no SL or SF complications, in fact, the real complications are the two characters' complexities and insecurities, that's why I enjoyed following the couple so much.

It was really interesting to see the layers of ML develop and be able to get to know the true side of his character, as well as knowing his motivations and the anger he has built up in his heart.

FL is an incredible character. She is mature, professional, talented and there is no infantilization of her in the series. While she is very young and has her privileged side, she is also a very simple person.

Overall, even though the drama is excessively long - could at least be 5 episodes less - I still enjoyed it. But, yeah...It got a little tiring, I have to admit.

What really pissed me off about all this - except, obviously, the fuckedu up situation of the FL's family - was the best friend character. She is a terrible person and extremely selfish. The entire time, throughout the drama, I wanted her to suffer the consequences for the manipulations and scheming she did with her own friend. She got her best friend fired just because of a man, that's shameful as a friend and also as a woman. I really don't understand cuz I would never do that.

Obviously, I can't NEVER compare her with FL's uncle and father, they are both murderers, that's why I would never put her on the same level, cuz, to me, she is just a horrible person, not a murderer. She was also a victim, for sure.

But then, she went running after her best friend's ex-fiance to hit on him after they broke up... man, that was so bizarre and fucked up, I don't have the words to describe how much I wanted the writers to make her suffer some consequences for being such a motherfucker.

Finally, I wanted to say that the FL's brother is SO beautiful. I met him in "Healer Of Children" and I already thought he was cute, but in this cdrama he's even cuter!

PS: ML was a big asshole at certain times and he deserved to spend 10 episodes chasing FL, even though I understood his motives, it will never justify what he did and how he acted.

Light and perfect to see on a rainy day

I was looking for something light and slice of life type, so this drama came at the right time for me

The story is interesting - although I think it lacked more scenes over the topic - and the characters are nice. Overall, the chemistry between the actors worked, they seem to have gotten along well off camera, which was evidenced in their performances together, but I think because the actress is 11 years younger than the actor they probably didn't want to put anything "more adult" or "spicy" (idk which word i can use to describe), so the "romance" part here it's pretty slight. I believe they show how much they love each other by trying to protect each other and doing things for each other. I would say if they had a love language it would be acts of service lol.

The FL is my fav character from this drama, she is very adorable and smart. Beyond charismatic and beautiful! Worked well here, I liked it. I also liked her evolution as a person, she matured a lot.

SL was the worst part of this cdrama. In addition to being extremely clingy and boring, he thinks he can interfere in the FL's life because he grew up with her. Tbh, i'm getting sick of this type of SL, they think they "own" the women who are their friends, as if they were their property. He's a joke. I really liked that ML made fun of him.

ML is ok. Cold-hearted type, but with an detail: he is very introverted, and i liked that. For me, she brought light into his life and that was lovely to watch.

My consideration is that one is a drama to watch with a light rain in the background and pretensions left aside. You won't find super chemistry and an adult romance or super plots, but you will laugh, get to know a very interesting area and find the construction of the novel cute

Um dos melhores de 2023 para mim

Completamente adorável, no melhor sentido possível.

A China nos presenteou novamente com o que ela sabe fazer melhor no mundo dos dramas: dramas juvenis! Não tem jeito, os mais bem feitos dramas juvenis asiáticos SÃO cdramas, e com “When i fly towards you” não foi diferente.

Antes de tudo, algo FINALMENTE aconteceu: temos um casal que NÃO começa se odiando e se desenvolve normalmente como amigos até, finalmente, se tornarem namorados.

Queria começar dizendo que o segredo nesse drama é a simplicidade e o realismo que ele tem. Adolescentes sendo adolescentes, se preocupando com vestibular, saindo, se divertindo, sem triângulos amorosos bobos, sem second female ou second leads sendo chatos e sem noção, com todos descobrindo o amor no seu tempo e trabalhando nisso como deve ser. Teve aquele exagero dos pais falando sobre namorar e blá, blá. Blá? Teve, né? Não esperava menos de um cdrama, já que parece que eles são bem restritivos em alguns casos, então eu entendo essa parte. No final das contas, acho que tudo teve sua época certa.

Não sei dizer o quanto eu gostei dessa turma de amigos, e o quanto eu AMEI que cada um teve seu destaque, seu momento e sua chance de brilhar. O amor dos protagonistas é a coisa mais lindo do mundo, amei como eles superaram as coisas juntos e nunca se separaram, pelo contrário. Química incrível entre os atores principais e mais ainda com os secundários, que brilharam – inclusive China, por favor, nos dê um drama com o casal secundário.

É difícil explicar o porquê eu amei tanto, acho que foi a nostalgia do meu próprio ensino médio junto com uma história que realmente se aproxima da realidade e me fez sentir como se eu pudesse facilmente viver aquilo. Não sei, tudo me conquistou. Vou sentir falta demais deles, de verdade.

PS: Muita gente linda nesse cast, inclusive os secundários
