I Rarely Finish Modern C-Dramas… But This One Hooked Me Till the End
I just finished watching Deep Affection Eyes. Honestly, I started this drama without any expectations—it popped up on my TikTok FYP, showing the scene where Li Jinyu entered the office on his first day to take over his shares in Hanhai Group. Since I’ve been watching a lot of Wuxia and Xianxia dramas, I wanted something modern for a change. I rarely get fully invested in modern C-dramas because I usually stop halfway, or after the main couple finally gets together. But this drama turned out to be one of the best I’ve seen—it’s full of emotions: funny, sweet, romantic, heartbreaking… everything.
I really enjoyed the early episodes when Ye Meng was trying to win over Li Jinyu. Even though they fought after getting married, their marriage scene itself was quite unique—they just casually went to the bureau to register, and that was it! I also appreciate that their arguments didn’t drag on for too long. At first, I was frustrated about why Li Jinyu didn’t tell Ye Meng the truth earlier. But then again, I don’t think Ye Meng would have accepted his explanation right away anyway, so it made sense for him to wait until the right time.
One of my favorite moments was when they reconciled at the race track. I also loved both of their families—so supportive and heartwarming. Li Jinyu’s grandmother was hilarious, and the three musketeers were also really funny. I liked how Li Jinyu and Ye Meng were already married before going to Jiangbai, but had to hide their relationship for safety reasons.
Another hilarious part was when Tai Mingxiao discovered something was going on between Ye Meng and Li Jinyu through a hidden camera Gou Kai set up for his proposal—not realizing Ye Meng was already married! That scene cracked me up so much I laughed for almost two episodes straight. And when Gou Kai mistakenly thought Cheng Kairan was Ye Meng’s husband? Absolutely priceless.
Honestly, I loved all the characters in this drama. Even the villain didn’t leave much of an impression compared to how much I adored the main and supporting cast. Ye Meng’s best friend Fang Ya’en was stunning, and her son was not only adorable but also incredibly smart and understanding of his mom.
The wedding of Ye Meng and Li Jinyu was also memorable. They decided to hold it before Li Jinyu’s grandmother’s surgery, and I loved how they did both traditional and modern versions. It felt meaningful and beautiful.
If I had one complaint, it’s that the ending felt a little rushed. I wish they had shown more of Li Jinyu and Ye Meng’s life after having a baby, or the improvement in Li Jinyu’s relationship with his younger brother. Still, I honestly didn’t mind the villains because everything else—the main couple, their families, the grandmother, the cousin, Cheng Kairan, Fang Ya’en—was more than enough to complete the story for me.
I loved the cinematography, the chemistry between the leads, and the emotional balance throughout. I started this drama without expectations, and ended it with so much satisfaction. Loved it. ❤️
