I’ve Fallen For This Show!
I’ve Fallen For You is one of the funniest shows that I’ve seen. In many historical dramas, the comedy can be a hit or miss, often suffering from lame, predictable tropes. The humor in this show far surpasses others. The jokes are actually hilarious and brilliantly executed. In fact, the show is arguably a satire on the historical drama genre itself!
From the beginning, the main characters are some of the oddest people. San Qi seems like a cute girl yet has a strange obsession with corpses. Zhao Cuo is some modern-day playboy who bullies others (and also gets bullied). We can already see distortions of the “cute” female lead and “heroic” male lead stereotypes. The secondary leads continue to defy CDrama norms: “Justice Face” Bai Yifei is actually empty-headed and “Princess” Ruo Yao is the least graceful lady. The show mainly shines because of these four lovable characters.
As the story progresses, the roles become even more interesting. Zhao Cuo has the best character development in the show. While he initially mistreats San Qi, he ends up liking her after receiving her help. Their friendship changes his personality and actions. Later on, we see even greater changes after his new discoveries. The actor Liu Yichang perfectly portrays Zhao Cuo. His comic timing for each joke is perfect, his facial expressions for emotional scenes are excellent, and his love for San Qi is convincing. I can’t wait to see Liu Yichang in other rom-coms.
The drama is fast-paced and doesn’t dwell on an event for too long. Exciting plot twists keep coming until the last episode. One downside of the drama is the lack of interactions between the main leads toward the end. The show could have been better with a few more episodes depicting the hilarious relationship between San Qi and Zhao Cuo. Plus, I wish for more development in San Qi’s character. While Zhao Cuo shows tremendous personal growth, San Qi doesn’t change nearly as much as him.
Overall, the show provides a unique twist to the classic “childhood crush” storyline. I applaud the director and cast for taking risks to mock elements of historical dramas. The best part of the show is that it doesn’t take itself seriously. The actors constantly break the fourth wall. They make fun of each other whenever possible. I highly recommend this drama to anyone looking for a good laugh.
