UPSET WE NEVER SEE AN AUDIENCE PERFORMANCE WITH LU JING PLAYING THE VIOLIN AND LIANG CHEN SINGING
This was like Love O2O meets Intense Love, and I was so down for this. Like seriously. Except the FL in Intense Love was way too dramatic and immature at times.
Lin Yi fucking brought it in this. PYHOMS has never been very great in my eyes, even though a lot of people like it. I have never liked it that much. So when I found out Lin Yi was starring in this? No reaction. But oh man, he deserved a reaction. This man—seriously fucking brought it. I can't wait to get excited about his next work. I hope it lives up to this.
Lulu Xu's character was actually pretty bad good. Usually, I have a thing or two to say about the FL. Not today! Okay, but she's only like a few years older than Lin Yi. How old is her character? Like the fact that the ML was considered too young all the time? Eh. Twenty-two isn't that young when LuLu Xu is only twenty-six (if her character is also this age).
Ding Jia Yun reminds me of that tool from Midsummer Is Full of Love (2020). That fucking tool that can't feel pain—yeah, that one. Very punchable face type. That's the only reason they remind me of each other... very punchable faces. The make-up team really knew what they were doing.
Yes, this started off pretty slow. But that's the thing about C-dramas, they have really great build-up, so when you actually get to the relationship part, you can clearly see why these people like each other. It doesn't just jump straight into anything.
I can't remember the last time I smiled so much. Thank you. I really needed this after an exhausting and depressing week.
So, that soundtrack.... fucking slaps harder than my Asian mother's slipper after a B on a test.
SOOOOO fucking glad there wasn't a breakup. A little "blip", yeah. But I thought that just added more substance to the story.
Downside: I didn't give a shit about the second couple. Ma Shan Shan and Sun Bin Yu's relationship just didn't hit until like maybe the third to second last episode. And it only hit maybe 50% then too. Rough life. All the really good shows don't have good side romance (just like Love Is Sweet).
Also, the romance. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't go into C-dramas expecting much except from a few lip presses (with zero movement—kill me). Well, let's just say dramas like Love Is Sweet and the majority of this... really upping my expectations. The first two kisses in the drama were kind of... like... please move your lips Lulu Xu? Please. Lin Yi is trying his best! But then the third one and beyond? Fucking great. Lulu Xu—I want to watch more of you in dramas. I hope future C-dramas try to follow this and Love Is Sweet's romance steam. I love innovation!
