Bijou

I watched with blind review and never see Liu Qiunai works so this is my first review. Li Ruoxun is quite fine to see his acting. Kissing scenes are also beautifully filmed even with average skill, with the atmosphere perfectly captured.

This is a story of unrequited love. FL is assertive, and her marriage to the ML becomes a de facto union on the day of their wedding. The costumes, props, and overall atmosphere of this drama are exceptionally beautiful, and the emotional development is delicate and sincere, making it a rare work enhanced by artistic beauty.

Supporting characters are very well-developed and three-dimensional, making them feel real and relatable, avoiding being mere props or stereotypes.

From initial fear to gradually becoming the most familiar stranger, then opening her heart to each other for warmth, and finally becoming inseparable from him, all these changes are conveyed through the FL's dialogue, small gestures, and subtle expressions. Because of this process of change, the interactions between the ML and FL feel extra sweet.

I am annoyed with cinematographic technique when they did flashback scene looks so rough and misplaced filter.

Recommended to watch.
