At last a well rounded Chinese drama
It has got to be one one of the best Chinese drama I've ever watched. Maturity, finesse, sensitivity. It got it all. And the casting was perfection. Each and every one of them inhabited their role, never betraying the character and so much balance in portraying these stories about love, ambition, death, loneliness, aging, family etc.This drama is a gem.

I will recommend it to everyone around
It is difficult to describe what I experienced while watching each episode from joy with hatred to butterflies in my stomach. very natural acting, beautiful locations, excellent camera work and the most beautiful musical accompaniment! There were no incomprehensible moments between the lines. The life of ordinary people is shown very realistically. The main characters are very unusual: the heroine with disabilities, the main character works at an unusual work for me personally and brought their fate for the second time. It is important to emphasize the secondary characters. Especially the native main characters, they played very well. If there was an opportunity, I would evaluate them 100/10Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Finally two grown ups interacting like adults and loving like adults
One oerson mentiined that this story is too “preachy” … thats is true…ML works as main person in a funeral home… so he is confronted with desth everyday… and of course, this influences the narrative of the show… sometimes a bit melancholic but overall quite sweet…
So… finally a story where the FL speaks normally, acts like a woman, and lives like a modern, working individual, with goals and dreams… she jokes, talks, like a normal woman,,, no dead fish kiss or fake ones… much appreciated for that…
Story is kind of slow pace, but nice…
FL and ML have history together from the past.. and they reconnect… leading to flirting, friendship and falling in love… in a very realistic manner.
The interactions with their family and friends are very normal… you learn quickly to like them…
She is flawed… he is temperamental…. Discussions, break ups, reconciliations are part of their relationship, which is very real.
Some people found her too selfish and he too accommodating…. There is a bit of truth, but slowly you see her change… not perfect but it is there.
Chemistry is pretty good… in the little details…
Overall, I recommend it… 21 ep x 30 mins goes super fast

Absolutely amazing drama!
This drama is hands down the best Cdrama for 2024 so far. Everything about this drama is top notch. The actors are doing such an amazing job and the chemistry is off the hook. I love how the story develops and how secondary characters are fleshed out. You come to understand each characters flaws and motivations. The cinematography has been so beautiful and the OST one of the best I’ve heard. I look forward to each episode and love the slice of life story. Don’t miss it!!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
IT FEELS ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE
This drama has already won me over with just three episodes I can tell it's going to be amazing...I love how the story isn't told in a fast paced nor slow paced way but rather it's told in a way that's perfectly paced enough to allow you to connect to it and to the characters.
The acting feels subtle yet impactful...and I must say the characters are so far well written..you can tell that each has personality and purpose to add to the plot.
The cinematography makes me feel like am watching a movie and not a series...it's relaxing and warm.....and the direction makes you feel the warmth.
The osts aren't over the top but each creates an everlasting impact on the scene.
I love how the characters backgrounds so far and their stories are kept hidden Ofcourse to be revealed with time....it's intruiging.
Iam looking forward to the romance between the leads because ain't no doubt even with the minimal interactions they have amazing chemistry.
This review is for the first three episodes and I'll be upgrading it with time.
So far this drama brings back the warmth I received from dramas like meet yourself, the forbidden flower, Sunshine by your side, nothing but you( 2023) and my marvellous fable.

A wonderful character driven drama
If you're someone who likes plot driven dramas, this one probably isn't for you. It relies entirely on the main protagonists; their opposite personalities, highlighting the emotional turmoil they face, relationships with each other and their families, etc. There are some minor "quasi storylines", but even those seem to be there to push characters' growth. They basically have the autonomy to decide how their story progresses, and I'm a big fan of the approach 'Will Love in Spring' takes in this regard. It's basically humans being humans and humans doing what humans do when they're sad, happy, angry or in love.The sensitive themes being tackled here are death, physical disability and mental health which more often than not turn into a life lesson in the end, both for the protagonists and viewers at home. Unfortunately, it's why the argument from reviews that say it can get a bit preachy at times rings true and why it makes a slight dent into the story/writing aspect of this particular drama.
But the beautiful setting, soundtrack and especially our main leads' chemistry more than make up for it. Acting of the whole cast feels really natural and honest. Li Xian is consistently great in all his roles and Chen Mai Dong was no exception. Zhou Yu Tong was a true revelation, such a brillian actresss!

Absolutely loved
Oh, this gave me all the feels! From the warm fuzzies to bawling. I loved this show. The writing was poignant, the acting was on point! The romantic chemistry was beautiful and so was the family chemistry. The show, of course, talks a lot about death. The way it talks about it, though, is like a complex, deeply layered painting. So heartfelt even when painful and incredibly rich in its depths. This is one of the best cdramas I've ever seen. It was so incredibly well done!On a slightly petty note: I was so HAPPY to watch a show with a FL who is mature and acts, sounds, and DRESSES like a grown woman. And a relationship that was also mature and equal. No patronizing behavior from the ML to FL. It was so refreshing. I hope to see more shows like this going forward.

A MASTERPIECE of humanity and wisdom. To (re)watch without moderation (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Very nice romantic & family series with Li Xian & Zhou Yu Tong as CL, which sincerely addresses tough themes (disability, death, mourning, trauma, old age, etc.)PLOT: FL, a sales manager, returns to her hometown for vacation. There she finds her high school friend (rebel), the ML, who has become Funeral Director. They will reweave their bond, and try to heal each other's wounds. But their way of life is very different...
PROS:
+++ CL brilliant, beautiful, talented, with palpable alchemy & without prudery (mature romance and natural kisses). They bring to life deep, wounded, but intelligent, determined characters... Kudo ! I loved this couple!
+++ excellent supporting actors, who bring to life complex, unique, very endearing characters.
+++ a realistic description of life in "small" Chinese towns (tradition, culture, customs, interpersonal relationships,...)
+++ the context is very unusual: I learned a lot about the funeral profession and this drama changed the way I view this activity
+++ the production is lively, direct, without length or unnecessary scenes, without procrastination. Everything (sets, costumes, locations) is realistic and coherent. WELL DONE !
+ very good OSTs
+ Death is mentioned a lot in this drama, without false modesty and with a lot of wisdom.
=> A MASTERPIECE of humanity and wisdom. To (re)watch without moderation (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

great Drama that keep you wanting moe
Love everything about this Drama, the Actors were made for their part and there is nothing I would think of changing. ?I’ve watched this drama repeatedly and I’m still going to do so at a later date. I’m also happy it ends there because it means that it’s settled.
A rather realistic Drama and everyone can resonate.
I’m not gonna use any spoilers here, because I want those who haven’t experienced this drama to get the feel for it. it’s a must watch and then your able to have your own pov.

Crazy about Asian dramas

Little bit difficult to understand
The drama covers several themes. Firstly, it sheds light on the profession of funeral makeup artists, a profession I wasn't familiar with due to my cultural background. In my religion, the family members are responsible for preparing the deceased for burial, which includes bathing the body, combing their hair, and dressing them, if a married woman die so she will be dress up like a bride . However, I found it interesting to learn about this profession through the drama, although I couldn't fully relate to it.In my religion it is true that those who are a part of funeral procession will take shower first as soon as they reach their home then only they touch the things and people.
So here lead actor told that people never touch us .so I understand this . And it is very hard to marry such a person who always surrounded by dead body .
However, the repetitive depiction of funerals made the drama feel somewhat monotonous.
Secondly, the drama emphasized the inevitability of death and the need to accept it. Despite the support and encouragement from others, those who have experienced loss find it difficult to come to terms with reality.
I found the personality of the female lead character somewhat irksome at times, and the slow pace of the drama tested my patience.

Best Drama I’ve Ever Watched
I’ve watched or attempted to watch a LOT of dramas over the year but never wanted to write a review until now. My first ever.When you take two talented lead actors (Li Xian and Zhou Yutong), add excellent secondary characters that do not take the screen time away from the leads, a really good storyline, sprinkle in some breathtakingly beautiful cinematography, mix in some wonderful music, with electrifying chemistry between the leads that feels too natural and makes you smile from ear to ear, add a dash of warmth and a lot of heart you get this pure gem of a drama call Will Love in Spring!
I can honestly go on and on about how incredible this drama is. I’m now a big fan of Li Xian and Zhou Yutong. They made me cry, laugh and swoon. Their chemistry is so pure and everything I could ask for and more. This is how it’s done my friend. Their hugs and kisses made me melt. After watching episode 21, I just kept staring at my screen and wishing there were 100 more episodes to watch.
Zhuang Jie said the town and Chen Maidong are like a heartwarming soup. This drama was like that to me. Not only was it heartwarming, it made me think and made me feel so much. Thank you to the cast and everyone involved. All I can say is Well Done!! I could shout from a rooftop for everyone to watch this!!
