Really lovely and fluffy, don't miss this out!
This was such a lovely romantic drama it's been awhile since I've found something I very thoroughly enjoyed. The chemistry is so on point. I love the songs, the color play in this. There were a lot of elements that made this up to standard. Let me start.
First, the chemistry. This is not the first drama I watched with Wei Zheming. There's #UnforgettableLove, but as much as it was hyped, it didnt sit well with me because I think it was just a bit flawed. Chemistry-wise. This one though... Yun Shu and Zhang Si Nian are so perfectly portrayed and you'll really feel like they're in love. From the first episodes, you'll feel the warmth of a simple "Good night" and then later on you'll see it in their actions that was so natural. Like how Si Nian tends to put a hand on Yun Shu's back, or how his hand slides up and down her arms when they embrace, or how Yun Shu tends to lean towards Si Nian when they talk. The body language is seriously amazing. I dont know if I should credit it to the director or the actors, but overall, the cinematic effect was good. And also, did anyone notice how the way Si Nian talked to Yun Shu progressed over the episodes? His voice becomes softer, almost a whisper when they speak.
Second point. The aesthetic mood of the whole drama. There's a recurring color theme in this drama that made this very pleasing to watch. I took some film classes, that's why I can notice this, but to the untrained eye, the colors creates an illusion of visual continuation in the series. The scenes may change, but because of the connecting color, your eyes wouldn't take as much time to adjust as it would on a different color scheme. That's why I think this drama is very binge-worthy. Your eyes would not tire at all. The color I'm talking about are the shades of green. It creates a harmony all throughout the scenes. Yun Shu's mint green blouse, the color of their house's walls, Si Nian's car, Si Nian's complimenting outfits, even the scheme adapted for the beach scenes leaned more on calming tones... It's really good strategy. And made this drama cinematographically superior.
Third, the music. There's pop music that was the main theme for the drama, but I think what would stay in one's mind after watching the drama is the three-note humming melody. It's very pleasing, perfectly timed on moments of intimacy between the leads. It's simple, memorable, repeating and very pleasing to the ears.
Fourth. The plot itself. If this was a novel, you'd say it's cliched. But this is a drama, which is very nicely done despite the typical trope. Our male lead is not the shallow "oh-so-glorious-male-god" dramas go for. Zhang Si Nian has his vulnerabilities. He would do anything for his grandpa, and his mood is affected by him. Our female lead is not the typical cutesy type romcoms go for. She's a bit naive, but not really an airhead. You'll love her. She's very warm, smiling and just... Kind. She's a really lovely girl that believes the best of all people, admits her mistakes and is very altruistic. She's also not the type to deny her feelings, or make a martyr out of herself. You'll really admire her as the story progresses. Both characters had a lot of development and it shows. It's just lovely how they both worked on themselves for being better individually while being together. #RelationshipGoals
And lastly... I hope anyone who reads this a happy viewing. This is truly an enjoyable drama. Will watch it again in the future, definitely.
