Here to Heart (2018)

I am not a fan of romance dramas but this drama certainly exceeded my expectations.

Story - 7/10

Many comments I read said that the story was too draggy and frustrating. While it is certainly true that there were unnecessary parts in the drama, overall, I feel that the story is rather satisfying. There were proper explanations as to why things happened and the ending was a little rushed, but still wraps everything nicely.

The last C-drama I watched was The Negotiator starring Z.Tao and Yang Mi and I loved the first half of the drama but it started going downhill and never picked itself up. I expected Here to Heart to be similar, but it wasnt, which is probably why my story score could be higher than other reviews.

Many Chinese dramas, unlike Korean dramas & Japanese dramas are really long. They give backstories and a loveline to many other supporting characters which many might find unnecessary. However, I feel that these parts are important for character development and it made me love each and every character in this drama.

Acting - 10/10

Zhang Han as NX and Janine Chang as WN is really the perfect casting for sure! I was really surprised and amazed by their acting skills and they are able to perfectly potray and show the audience their inner struggles and how they still care for each other. Their crying scenes made me emotional every single time.


Music - 10/10

I couldnt expect less from Hebe (who sang Our Little Happiness) who sang the main theme song for this drama. The OST sang by leading man Zhang Han was also a good surprise. The OSTs didnt feel awkward whenever it was playing which gives it a plus

Rewatch Value - 6.5/10

I would definitely rewatch this drama sometime soon although I will fast forward many parts.
