Drop everything and watch
It’s been so rare for me to find a modern romance that’s been as delectable as Fake It Till You Make It has been for me. Our leads meet on a flight and the attraction is immediate. Tang Ying is immediately drawn to Zi Quan because he simply got her a blanket when he noticed she was cold. The bar is literally on the floor people. I'm being flippant but that doesn’t negate the fact that a kind gesture goes a long way in life and any form of companionship really. What begins as a kind of cat and mouse game between a shielded independent woman and a reformed playboy, a story of genuine connection and friendship ensues that’s as rewarding to watch as it is sexy. These are two gorgeous people who experience desire in a globalized world where relationships especially among men and women aren’t what they used to be. There's always a game to be played but what the series understands is that the values two people share who are willing to make something beautiful work out is worth it to find yourself in a vulnerable position to pursure the kind of love that matters. An addictive whirlwind stir of emotions that truly has my whole heart.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A slow burn for the ages
I was so struck by how much this drama moved me and I'm still shocked still by the hold this OTP has on me. Narratively, there was a lot I was bored by but I won't let that discredit where credit is due. I found myself not really caring for the plots and machinations surrounding the leads and that may be me but I was not a fan of the execution of the storyline. I wasn't a fan of the direction either and overall the production values were leaning towards more of artistry than substance. I might be in the minority but I will stand by these opinions. At the end of the day, all I care about and will continue to do is cherish A Li and Xiao Heng's relationship above all else. There are only a handful of pairings out there that really work their way into my heart and they are It for me. It's so vital to me that Xiao Heng emphasizes the importance of Ah Li being herself and the inherent trust they have in one another that gets them through the next obstacle and the next. To me they epitomize what is lovely between a bond that will respect one another's boundary and be there as the shoulder of support is needed, during the good times and bad. Couples can easily forget the promises they made to one another but not this pairing. If this OTP has no die-hard shippers then that means I'm deadVond je deze recentie nuttig?
