To all the people who are hesitant to watch this for the following reasons: 1. You have watched the Eternal Love series and think their acting is cringe/below average 2. You had previously watched the other “You are my Destiny” ogs and believe that this one won’t be up to your standard 3. You think this plot is cliche etc. HOLD TF UP YALL LEMME TELL U. I was definitely skeptical of Liang Jie’s acting skills after watching the trailer because imo her acting has not really improved ever since the Eternal Love series. But after watching a few eps of this drama I will wholeheartedly admit that I was wrong. Idk wtf she did but she really made Jia Xin’s naive, innocent and sticky note character believable, bringing realism to her character in this modern setting. I watched SO MANY like literally hundreds of c dramas bruh and I can say the chemistry between the leads is unmatched. It's too good hmm maybe too believable LOL. I can vouch that if one or both of these actors were replaced this drama would have probably done a lot worse. If y’all go to the deep side of the c drama lists ur gonna find some pretty bad acting, acting worse than a 5 year old lying to their mom. Let's talk about the plot next. Yes, this plot is definitely cliche and gives me a mix of a lot of diff versions of other dramas that I have watched but that is exactly what makes this drama enjoyable. It’s like you and the drama are connected thru telepathy or sum shi cause u know damn well what's gonna happen next but even after having this massive juicy brain and knowing what’s gonna happen, you just can’t help but to continue watching. You start to crave the dramas’ happy moments, heartwarming moments, and even the most painful and heart wrenching moments. This drama might not really spark your interest because of the plot's clicheness and I totally 100% get that. But what separates a shitty cliche drama to a successful cliche drama is how its able to evoke the audiences’ emotions. I can’t even believe I'm saying this but yea even during their happy moments I cried. During their painful moments I even uGLY CRIED. I’m already ugly enough and I mf ugly cried. That’s when you know it's good. Now speaking of the og “You are my Destiny” dramas. I only watched the Taiwanese version and not the other 3 adaptations so idk if my opinion is valid here. Compared to the Taiwanese version the Chinese adaptation was less painful to watch. Now that I look back at it Taiwanese ML was such a scum, he literally belonged to the streets but my 10 year old self couldn’t even comprehend that. But because ML was such an a$$ (more than Chinese ML could ever be) that was what made the Taiwanese version even more heart wrenching and emotional and that is why those who have watched the Taiwanese version are so emotionally attached to it (yea im calling u out) and thats why SO many people are complaining about the Chinese version not standing out/boring. In addition bruh, when you repeatedly watch 4 adaptations of the SAME plot with the same characters you are bound to feel uninterested with a 5th adaptation. It is literally like same essay different font.

The Chinese version definitely exceeded my expectations. From the high quality production to the ost (吾爱无爱 - Ann 白安 OST fav omg), to the chemistry between the actors, everything was so well done even when given this type of plot. This drama really showed us how girls tend to fall faster while boys fall harder. It did a really good job in showing genuine warmth, love and pain and how these feelings could exist, not in a 3 year relationship but in just a 4 month relationship. How even a ‘sticky note’ can grow into someone full of confidence, someone who recognizes their self worth all while trying to obtain their fair share of happiness. Hmm this Snail is surprisingly fast. Catch up lizard :)
