Totally in love
At first you may feel that the FL is kind of idealistic and too rigid , but as time passes by you will feel the change in her. The best part is the ML, without any doubt.....It may be his acting, showing emotions or his sincerity towards the fl it definitely isn't lacking.The overall development of the characters are very enjoyable.Trust me you will miss this after watching itVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Pecou por excesso, não precisava de 33 episódios!
Eu adoro histórias em que os protagonistas voltam no tempo ou vão parar em universos paralelos e têm a oportunidade de tomar decisões melhores ou apenas aproveitar momentos que passaram despercebidos na vida original e fizeram falta depois – independente se essa experiência é real ou apenas um sonho, como é neste caso.No entanto, ao chegar no episódio 15 deste c-drama, me surpreendi ao descobrir que ele tem 33 episódios e não 24, ou seja, apesar do sentimento ser de "reta final", na verdade eu ainda não cheguei nem na metade da história!
Minha energia vital foi sugada entre os episódios 13 - 17 porque há muitas cenas desnecessárias e até algumas que poderiam ser taxadas de filler de tão gratuitas que são. A partir do 18, a história voltou a tomar uma forma mais fluida e tornou-se menos cansativo acompanhar o desenrolar da trama – aqui já é possível teorizar sobre o que está acontecendo de fato e o que está por vir.
O auge foi quando a personagem retornou para 2022 e tivemos uma boa sequência inicial de episódios, reforçando o quão boa é a química do casal principal, além de teorizarmos sobre o que foi real e o que não foi durante o coma dela. No entanto, não demora muito para que o drama volte a se perder nos excessos e rodeios. Do 29 em diante, eu acelerei ou pulei muitas cenas.
No fim, apesar de satisfeito que tudo acabou bem, a vontade de tirar uns 3 episódios da série e condensar outros, reduzindo a obra toda a 28 ou 26 episódios, permaneceu. Acho que já deu para perceber a minha frustração com o tamanho deste c-drama, mas gostaria de realçar que isso advém muito do potencial da história e da vontade de vê-lo ser executado com um pouco mais de "mão na consciência".
Por exemplo: é como ver um milagre sendo transmitindo ao vivo, só que o responsável pela filmagem não tem a capacidade de focar 100% no que precisa ser mostrado e acaba virando a câmera vez ou outra pra uma cena menos relevante, como a toalha da mesa. Embora você fique feliz por ter visto o milagre, ainda sim gostaria de ter visto através de uma transmissão melhor.
De toda forma, eu recomendo esse drama para quem gosta e já teve contato com plots semelhantes (Lovely Runner, Love for Love's Sake, The Romance of Tiger and Rose, Don't Disturb My Study, Erased e Lost Romance). Eu amo esse tipo de história e por isso dei uma chance, gostei, só não assistiria novamente porque algumas partes são cansativas para ver de novo.

Such a good drama!
I enjoyed every single episode of this drama! It’s very hard to find a drama that you enjoy so much that you’re looking forward to each new episode anticipating and enjoying each one very slowly because they’re so good. It’s like reading a really really good book where you can hardly wait to turn the page. The chemistry between the ML & FL was so amazing. Every interaction between the two of them was just flowing naturally the body language the facial expressions you could just tell the ease in their actions. A lot of times in dramas like this people act kind of wooden or stiff but with this drama the arm around the shoulder or the interlocking arms hand holding always very natural appearing and seem to be something that a couple of which is normally do in every day life.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A do-over done right
The first few episodes hint at nothing other than a typical office romance with the usual difficult boss (ML) and a suffering female assistant (FL). There is more hate than love and they are very combative. The FL was in a bad place both in her career as well as relationship fronts. Nothing cute nor sweet. Fairly standard stuff so far.I’m glad that I hang in there until she has the accident and ended up in a coma. When she woke up, she is 18 again and back in law school with all the old classmates including the ML. Henceforth, the tone and feel of the show changed completely. It is now a fun, sweet rom-com and really uplifting. That change surprised me in a good way. Do-overs can get good but often it is just a one trick pony aka the ML wins the FL, again.
To the contrary, it is the FL who took charge of her “new” life and set about righting wrongs and starts to see things from a different perspective. In so doing, she archived a lot of growth, closures and changed the lives of those around her for the better.
Her (do-over) romance with the true ML was so sweet! The ML was the nicest guy and supported her 100% from the start but she misunderstood him in the real past and picked the wrong guy.
Of course, there are angsts and setbacks, but the writer handled them with a deft hand and gave each dark cloud a silver lining. Events are cross-referenced between the two realities. She could influence some key events but not all. Overall, her time in the dream-world is the most engaging and coherent do-over plot I have seen for a long time so kudos to our writer.
After she woke up from the coma, the show is still good, but the shady business subplot started to turn nasty. In fact, how that plotline is concluded is a bit contrived and overly dramatic. The scenes with the luxury cruiser and cars felt tagged on. It is a misstep in an otherwise coherent and well written script.
In terms of acting, there are the odd misfires amongst the big cast but the actors in key roles are all solid. I’m particularly impressed by the FL. She usually plays a bubbly/feisty girl, but it can get samey. She is still in a familiar role, but her acting seems better, more nuanced. There is no doubt that she is the main lead here. I also like the FL’s father. He really embodied a father’s love for his family. The ML did well but played second fiddle for a change. The 2OTP is a cute couple but interestingly, their love line in the dream-world was more organic and relatable than their real-world counterpart.
I started watching this show expecting very little, but I am pleasantly surprised. I’d have score it higher except for a few odd plot issues towards the end. I’ll have no problem re-watching most of it. BTW, don’t miss the epilogue after the final credit. It is sooo sweet! :) Enjoy!

Wholesome, Adorable, serious at times
Everything was as close to perfect as it gets. From the MAGNIFICENT acting of the cast (especially the main couple's) to the amazing story and cinematography and of course the OST!!!! Don't let me start abou it, it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the vibes it gave to the scenes were so suitable, plus Z Tao's voice is heavenly. The cast's chemistry seemed really good. To me this drama screams "wholesome" and I Honesty didn't want it to end as it wasSUPER enjoyable. Needless to say I became a huge fan of the fl after seeing how exceptional she is in portraying her role. I already was a Z Tao fan but even if I wasn't I 100% would have become one now, after seeing his acting. I hope the main couple can work together again. Although I didn't expect it in the beginning, this drama was truly amazing!

just ranting about this drama - this review based on drama not the novel
StorylineFor the story itself, it was wrapped in a good package. Like how the story tells us about turning back the time yet has an acceptable explanation about how the female lead was going through that sort of time-travelling incident. But the thing is how can the fl still prophet the future and the only explanation from the drama is because of her brain cognitive function. Even though some events might go differently from her vision but the main idea still happened. But this series can be considered to have a little loophole in it. Cause usually, a drama about time travel will more or less contain a loop whole that just didn't add the odds up.
Character
Qian Wei - a normal female lead that's Lu Xun's assistant in the present time. Just because she knows what will happen in ten years made her annoying in the past (while she travels back). To be honest, I had a headache towards her for a couple of episodes, even thought about dropping this drama because she just too freakin annoying. Just can you imagine having an Asia mom that keeps nagging you all day long with that typical tone, No offence but it sounds like my mom nagging me all day long, Even the smallest thing can be wrong in front of her eyes, Anyways at least we will see the growth of her character when she realizes that she is already in love with Lu Xun, For god sake, while she was still trying to help Lu Xun to be together with Zixin it's just so fckin annoying. BUT FEAR NOT, she eventually became much more mature in the present time and those nagging day shall be over and u can enjoy with no headache at all. But also that means her acting skill is good.
Lu Xun - one word "PERFECTION" the male lead is very gentle toward Qian Wei but he always hiding behind the shadow and does not let Qian Wei know that he has feelings for ten years long. AND Lu Xun is clearly man written by a woman. His sincerity has always been shown throughout the episodes. The only thing stopping him is the thought of love that has been blocking his mind :) I mean he has his own belief about love. Which is great, but dude glad u live in a drama or else you might be single for the rest of your life LMAO.
Li Chongwen - Bitj why don't you repent sooner, I know u r broke so am I
I don't think my review will help at all lol, but for those ppl who are still confused between watching or not, I suggest u shall watch it already since it won't hurt you. Moroever if you like the enemy become a lover type of story.

The play is full of joy and magic!
The interaction between Huang Zitao and song Zuer is too naughty. Song Zuer is very lovely and flexible in this play. Huang Zitao's acting is also very natural. This role may be more like his own character.This play is very magical. Lu Xun is Qian Wei's boss. Although Qian Wei is dissatisfied with Lu Xun's attitude, she can only hypocritically please her boss. Miraculously, Qian Wei went back to the past. She met Lu Xun again, but the difference was that their identities changed, and Qian Wei also knew Lu Xun again in the process. In general, the play is full of joy and magic~!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
great series, fun ... love both main actor and actress.
I did watch to fly with you, and just discovered that song xuer's new series is on. So I just watched it without expectation. Surprisingly, it's so fun and i love it so much. story is teaching us how to live with the real world because noone can really turn back time. and Song did the role very well. main actor z.tao, it's the first time for me to get to know him. he's talented. He played very well with song xuer. i didn't like his kind of music much. i would prefer some easy listening song, or sad song to match with the series.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Lots of romance/skinship/kissing!
Lots of romance/skinship/kissing and a beautiful ending! The FL in the beginning is so career-focused she doesn't see how much the ML loves her, but it isn't dragged out for too long or done in a way that's really annoying and frustrating. It's all fluffy/sweet/fun to watch. There's a couple episodes towards the end where the ML struggles with his feelings, but they don't drag that out either. One of the best romance Cdramas imo and underrated. 30 episodes, came out in 2022. The romance starts in episode 2 and it just never stops each episode.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
MY LU XUN AND QIAN WEI WE LOVE U
I think I just had the pleasure of watching the best modern Cdrama (dare I say) of all time!This drama tells the story of 28 year old Qian wei who isn't satisfied with the life she is living. Her 18 year old self had many plans for herself to accomplish as a lawyer but unfortunately couldn't because she never passed an important test that is needed to become a lawyer so she works as a paralegal under Lu Xun.(but its not a boss-assistant romance at all!!) Lu Xun was her rival in University and she would always end up second only to him, people never expected that she would work as his assistant one day, especially QW. One day she finds out that her BF has been using her for information on a case (as he is also a lawyer) and she is very upset by that and with the stresses of life she gets into an accident. when she is in the coma she travels back to her 18 year old self determinated to do everything right this time! She assists her friends and gets rid of their regrets along with hers. (avoids her ex-bf, tries to stop her dad from dying and this isn't really a spoiler....so on )Anyways she ends up seeing a side to Lu Xun she hasn't seen before as in the original timeline she was stuck to her BFs and BFFs side and ends up falling in love with him, what emerges is man funny moments between the two.
THE ACTING WAS TEW GOOD. I'd say if you haven't seen Huang Zitao in anything before this, you should take a chance with this drama. On the other hand if you have seen his dramas and didn't enjoy his characters/acting don't watch it for him, because Lu Xun is very Huang zitao, and you will get what I mean as you watch this drama. I personally love his acting and his personality so I enjoyed it. The attitude he adds is funny, but he also adds sincerity when needed. TAO IS ONE OF THE BEST IDOL-TURNED ACTORS. also I personally didn't mind his hair it grew on me so well.
Song Zuer was soo cute. I love the roles she picks. I've seen her in TFWY and loved her in that and so I was excited to see her, and boy did she not disappoint. She was perfect and very funny acting as an 28 year old in a 18 year old body. Also her emotional scenes were perfectly acted.
The chemistry was definitely there and I'd love to see Song Zuer and Huang Zitao reunited in a drama. They were a perfect Tom and Jerry CP.
Also the OSTs were soo good (I'm actually listening to the osts right now). Also 余生都是你 and 碎片 are going on my playlists right now!!!
I'll miss Lu Xun and Qian Wei so much and if you're complementing watching this drama you totally should 😁
Bottomline- It's about a boy's love for a girl who's been to stubborn and oblivious to know it but once she's back in 2022 the chase is on

I will never get over this drama, it is AMAZING
This drama was a rollercoaster of emotions and yet it was still hilarious throughout because of the leads and their bickering.PERFECT CAST with AMAZING CHEMISTRY between all the characters, especially the leads. I need Ztao and Zu Er to be the leads on another drama together. Their characters had a wonderful love/hate relationship for each other. Qian Wei genuinely disliked Lu Xun (reasonably so) but Lu Xun had been in love with her for 11 years.
The BEST thing about their relationship is the fact that despite the fact that he was always in love with her, he didn't treat her like a 'lover' like in one scene in episode 1 where she was about to fall into a pond (of sorts) with her bag that carried evidence, instead of helping her, he snatched the bag and watched her fall into the water. That scene is exactly how their relationship is throughout the drama. It's no wonder she never figured out that he liked her.
It had the BEST and consistent WRITING. It started uphill and stayed uphill throughout and it revealed every single detail of the plot, so there were NO potholes or open/unsatifying endings to any of the storylines.
The relationship between the leads never changes, they bickered all the time whether they were a couple, rivals at university or boss/employee. I loved their boss/employee relationship because it never seemed like he was her boss with the way she treats him but the way she talks about him makes it sound like he was a terrible boss to her, which we never actually see because as the audience we know that he is in love with her and is trying to help her by making her read so many cases and do so much work.
I LOVE that we got to see Qian Wei's dream of re-living the past (seeing things in a new light and discovering Lu Xun's crush on her in real life) and falling in love with the young Lu Xun.
We also got to see quite a lot of Qian Wei and Lu Xun's actual past together and why their relationship is the way it is in the present.
Unlike every other time travel/ alternate dimension/ dream world dramas Iv'e seen or heard of (I've seen a LOT), this is the ONLY drama I've seen where the plot focuses on both the dream work and real world. The drama doesn't end after the dream ends, we got at least 10 episodes set in the real work and we got to see the leads fall in love in the dream world and in real life
Lu Xun is like the typical second lead, which he actually was in Qian Wei's actual past whilst Chong Wen the actual second lead, lived the life of a main lead in Qian Wei's actual past and for the 11 years leading to the present. this drama really showed Lu Xun's turn around from second lead to main lead (in a drama world). I tend to get second lead syndrome a lot in dramas, especially because a lot of the time the second lead is better than the main lead in every way and this drama showed the perfect ending of the second lead becoming the main lead.
The meaning behind this drama is that you can't change the past. Qian Wei spends a lot of this drama trying to change her past thinking her dream is real and even then, she couldn't change her fathers death but she was able to accept it and sort of be at peace with it (because his death gave her so much trauma at first that she couldn't be a lawyer by passing the exam). Despite the dream not being real, she was able to turn her life around for the better after waking up. Her dream helped her get over the past and straighten out her reality in the present.
I LOVE Ztao's OST for this drama. I can't stop listening to it. I also recommend looking up the English lyrics to the song because it fits PERFECTLY to the plot of the drama, here is some of it (the only one I could find that made sense):
"You are the rest of my life
My love for you is more than a billion stars
Even if we live in other world
I'm still all about you
I got a crush on you bae
I can't hide all my feeling
Do I still need to prove it?
You Know how much I love you
All the rest of my life is about you"
Seriously, Lu Xun waited 11 years to be with Qian Wei, he had a crush on her for YEARS. Though I didn't feel bad about his wait as much as I thought I would because he was terrible at showing her he liked her. He was "mean" to her face and did so much for her behind her back and never wanted her to know about what he did. He dragged his confession for 11 years and was unwilling to confess to her altogether, it was his fault for not telling her he liked her from the start, a typical second lead (though he is the main lead).
