Le Coup de Foudre (2019)

I have just finished watching this drama. It was simple yet heartwarming. I cried a lot about their past stories either Yanmo or twins. At first I thought this was going to be a typical drama with stupid girl and smart boy and girl that can never stand up for herself and needs the guy to protect her but it was totally different. It was beyond my expectation towards this drama. It was more sensible and touching. Facts in reality, some of them will feel the same.

Father's role is real. He would provide the foundation for his daughter future romantic relationships so she would understand what it meant to be loved by the first man in her life. Gladly Zhao Guanchao replaced Qiaoyi's father role. It was hurt to watch Guanchao pretended to be happy for his twin sister. The plot follows your basic, because I wasn't frustrated and think a lot with the characters and story. To be honest, I was boring in the middle until last episodes (around 20- 32 ).

This drama was good enough in the sense that the melancholy draws you in and story of the characters are really relatable in real life. Each line of each moments were deep, I didnt expect a cdrama has many great lines I thought it would be cringe. I liked how they used a slow pace with sepia tone plus the music was blend very well with the stories.

What I dont like about this drama is there were so many loopholes and unnecessary scenes which made the audiences wanted to skip it.

I like Zhao Guanchao. He may bad lover but he is type of best big brother you may wish to have. From outside he seems to be someone who bit ‘unreliable’ but as big brother he really protects and loves Zhao Qiaoyi very well which made me super jealous. Hands down to Fei Dachuan, I thought he would be a sloppy and meh character but ends up with the wised, kindest and loyal one.

What I learned from this drama is.... The one of the hardest things to deal with is being secretly in love with your best friend.

A LOVELY DRAMA!

When I first watched this drama I just fell in love with the last song that is "Never let you go", it was full of emotions.

Though many people didn't like the time jumps I just think that's what made the drama more special for me. I was happy that at least I know they are going to end up getting married or else I would have simply dropped this.

What I loved about this drama was it was not a love triangle but it depicted that they had complications in their own relationship instead of having a third wheel. I loved how they sorted out the problems, how Qiao Yi didn't want to hurt him but she had to because he was just literally just going to give up his whole career for her!!

I loved the second couple where Guanchao just played with Wu Yi's heart but later realized that he loved her♥
There were so many emotional scenes: Wu Yi with her mother(in her last stages), Qiao Yi's parents and even Yan Mo's mom.

First I gave this drama a 9/10 but now whenever I listen to the OST, I have withdrawal symptoms. I just can't stop thinking about it.

Kdramas are funny and great but according to me some of these Chinese gems show more of the reality side like having complications in a relationship that happen with most of the people in real world!

Typical modern romance with a few good points

I had heard from several people that this was outstanding and one of the best shows, so maybe the problem is that I was expecting more. Instead it was a typical romance. Starts in high school, they had "current" interviews with the couple and then major flashbacks to high school, then a separation and misunderstanding, and finally they get together. So nothing new or really interesting. It was fine but that is all.

What I did like... the chemistry between the FL and ML was great, I guess that is why they were married for a time in real life. I loved the relationship between FL, Zhao Qiao Yi, and her brother, Zhao Guan Chao. In fact I loved the FL's family. Her mother and step-father may have been the best part pf the show and they were what I enjoyed the most. I also liked I guess what would be the third couple - Fei Da Chuan and Cheng You Mei. I thought they were adorable.

What didn't;t work for me so much.... none of them looked like high school students and about 1/3 rd of the show was set in high school especially the brother. The FL was the typical not so bright, ditsy but happy girl that chases after the aloof smart ML. I really do not like silly FL and she would seem ok and then morph back into the silly girl almost talking like a 5 year old to the ML.

What I absolutely found annoying was the way they portrayed Zhao Guan Chao as a doctor. Maybe having doctors in my family, they were not that immature in grade school as he was as a doctor. It seemed really inappropriate to me. That was more of an annoyance since I liked him bit they should have given him another profession. What I disliked most of all was the second FL Hao Wu Yi. I absolutely could not stand her. She was a spoiled brat most of the show, when she finally grows up I couldn't;t have cared less and did feel any sympathy for her since she was a horrible daughter and the mom was non existent the whole show so why care. Plus I didn't feel any chemistry between her and Zhao Guan Chao. They should have just let him be an awesome brother and son, which he was.

Just goes to show how everyone has their own opinions to shows.

I had seen some clips of this drama in YouTube and decided to watch it.
The way drama start ,it is little boring ,when two lead and their near ones narrates their stories,that part looks little boring .it is continue till 6-7 episodes,then no narration. There are two love stories of different personalities ,after facing so many ups and down they eventually becomes one.but still some parts of the drama brought in my minds so many why ? Why his brother not help her in her studies ? If she not asked him for help ,he should voluntary help her .He many times said to everyone that he admire her sister a lot then why he let her suffered a lot.
2nd why , why she not tell him about her father condition ,why there is need of misunderstanding.if she feared that he (lead actor) will not go to UK ,if he came to know about her suffering then she can make him understand the situation and tell him that she will wait for him and she will keep in touch so there will be no problem.
If I avoid these why?.then I like watching this drama .so lovely and cute love story.

This drama is so amazing. Everything right from the story line to the cast, all the nuances are completely fulfilled. Le Coup De Foudre shows us the love that is planted within all of us. This drama beautifully portrays all the struggles, ups and down that love faces each moment in our life. Love sticks us all together through tough times and it always feels assuring to have loved one's by our side.
Yan Mo's kind heart hid behind his rough nature, Qiao Yi's bubbly, shy yet optimistic complexion, Guan Chao's flirty yet responsible side and Wu Yi's playful loyal nature all put together creates a magic in this drama. And dad in this drama, he was so supportive, cool and charming. Scenarios in this drama was much relatable. I loved this drama so much and this will be one of my favorite Cdramas of all time. I waited for so long for every episode and now is the time that i binge watch this drama, yet again.
Usually, I skip parts in most of the dramas but in this drama i just did not. I always felt sad that it ended way too quickly. The ost of this drama especially "Never Let You Go" is melodious and soothing.The Chemi between all the cast member was so beautiful. Le Coup De Foudre is worth the shot again and again.

I've watched several dramas and Tv shows in the last few weeks of the Quarantine. I've finished a few and dropped a lot within the first five episodes. I was getting very tired of certain drama clichés that no longer attracted me the way they used to. I happened to stumble upon this drama after looking through the recommendations of some other dramas I had watched, and needless to say, this drama truly hit the spot. Every character in this drama is so well written that they're relatable. As the drama progressed I was able to understand and the perspective of every character and why they acted the way they did in certain situations. I think what spoke to me was the story of the female lead. She grew up poor and wasn't a standout student, so she had to make a means for herself. I relate with her on a personal level because as an audience member you see how her environment impacted the growth of her self esteem and how her trauma affects her relationship with Yan Mo. Sorry, Bai Qian and Ye Hua, Sorry Feng Jiu and Dong Hua, you have been replaced by the likes of Zhao Qiao Yi and Yan mo, and Zhao Guanchao and Hao Wu Yi.


Story: The plot was immaculate. The writers did a great job of balancing the focus between the female lead and every other character. As an audience member, you see her relationships with Yan Mo (love interest), Guan Chao (Twin Brother), and Hao Wu Yi (best friend) + Fei Dachuan develop into healthy supportive ones. The story also offers insight into each character so we get a full understanding of action and consequence. My heart broke so many times for these characters because every single one of them is so lovable but broken. They way they all support each other is so beautiful, it makes me feel better knowing that the book which this drama is based on is an autobiography. Another thing I appreciated that it opened up with them being a couple so I didn't have to worry too much about getting myself into another tragedy. Acting: HOLY COW100/10. Every single actor did an impeccable job portraying their characters. The chemistry between the siblings was so heartfelt and endearing that I found myself tearing up whenever they would have a heart to hearts. This was my first Janice Wu drama but I've only heard good things about her so I'll have to check out more of her work. Eden Zhao is such the ideal brother, boyfriend, best friend, son image in this drama, I often found myself wanting a man like him to appear in my life. Zhang Yu Jian was so in control of his features as Yan Mo, I have to hand it to him. Every single expression had a purpose and he was always able to keep that stone-cold image. A lot of times it was his eyes that gave away his emotions and that makes him so much the better. Ma Li was a pleasant surprise because she was so cute and endearing I loved her character chubby puppy face.

Music: It fits well with the drama

I would rewatch… as I'm writing this, I'm rewatching it! Enjoy!!~

got best opening sentence of drama I ever seen

Le Coup de Foudre -8/10 cdrama

ok its very very good drama nice romance and all surely worthy at least 8,5-9/10, BUT I personaly just couldnt cope with time skip and time-rewind style this drama had in first half of drama.
If I didnt had :rule: to always complete watching whole drama I would drop it in first few eps.

At other hand second half of drama was amazing. Chemistry of main pair was good and FL was quite crazy enough. Meanwhile rational, cold faced male lead loved FL enough to play crazy with her too and doted on her.

plot - "Le Coup de Foudre" is a Chinese drama about ML and FL, former high school classmates with contrasting personalities. They plan to study abroad together, but FL's family emergency causes them to lose touch. Four years later, they reunite and their old feelings resurface.

Where to start? I just binged it for 3 days straight and all I can say is:

This DRAMA HITS YOU IN THEM FEELS AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL
-It's very similar to my favorite slice of life dramas "Because this is my First Life" and the Reply Series

- YOU WILL LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS
-The group of characters are SO DIFFERENT with Yan Mo being the smart cold guy, Qiao Yi the relatable kind girl that's always trying her best, Hao Wu Yi an impulsive girl who wears her heart on her sleeve and Guanchao the sweetest brother, and person who appears to be a playboy on the surface
-We get to see their interaction with one another, how they fall in love and their hidden insecurities and issues throughout the drama
- The side characters and side stories are all precious too

- NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE IT IS RELATABLE on some level
- It's all about growth, growing up, finding yourself and struggles you will come to face in life


A lot of people complain about its pacing but I really think that its what makes the drama feel so realistic and fleshed out, it makes you love all the characters and when the touching moments hits you'll be trying to hold back your tears.

- THE RELATIONSHIPS ARE SO REAL AND SO PRECIOUS
- It makes me wish I had a close-knit group of friends in high school that stuck around
- just seeing the characters interact with each other tugs at your heartstrings, the bond the main cast has with their highschool teacher Mr. Gao also never leaves the show too

A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL MONOLOGUES AND LIFE LESSONS
- Qiao Yi often narrates over montages at the end of an episode and it really ties the episode together so props to the drama writers

THE MUSIC IS THE BEST
- I love the cute opening song but my favorite is the slower ending song, by the time the last episode rolls around IT HITS HARD

If you love slice of life, realistic romances, friendship and a nice coming of age story, this drama is for you
9/10 for me (since it wasn't a wow that was so original or mindblowing, but it's just a perfectly written and well acted drama) You really end up caring for every single character in the show! I never rewatch but I will definitely have the OST on my playlist!

THIS IS JUST A GEM. MUST WATCH. TRUST ME YOU WON'T REGRET EVEN FOR A SECOND

SO PRACTICAL. BROTHER SISTER RELATIONSHIP IS JUST SO LOVELY IN THIS DRAMA. EVERY BIT OF THIS DRAMA IS SO SO BEAUTIFUL. THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER. NO DIRTY GAMES OF 2ND FEMALE LEAD OR WHATEVER IT HAPPENS IN ASIAN DRAMAS. THE HIGHLIGHT IS THE BROTHER SISTER RELATIONSHIP. BOTH LOVE EACH OTHER UNCONDITIONALLY, BUT DON'T GET NOSY WITH EACH OTHER's BUSINESS. GUAN CHAO IS SUCH A SWEETHEART CHARACTER. I AGREE HE IS A BIT IMMATURE BUT HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN THIS DRAMA IS AMAZING ALONG WITH WU YI. YAN MO IS A PRACTICAL MAN, WHO NEVER GET OUT OF CHARACTER AND HIS CHARACTER IS VERY CLEAR BECAUSE, IN MOST OF THE DRAMA, THE COLD MALE LEAD BECOMES SOFT FEATHER AFTER BEING IN LOVE WHICH IS VERY TYPICAL AND YOU WON'T SEE HERE WHICH I LOVED. QIAO YI IS A LOVELY CHARACTER, VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTS THAT MOMENT. ALICIA AND AND DA CHUAN ARE LOVELY TOGETHER, I ALMOST CRIED WHILE LAUGHING LOOKING AT THEM. QIAO YI AND GUANCHAO'S STEPFATHER IS JUST AMAZING, JUST BECAUSE THEIR STEPFATHER AND MOTHER'S BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP, THE DRAMA GOT A NEW FLAVOR. I THINK THE ONE MAIN LEAD GIVES U SOME SOFT HEARTACHE [QIAO YI AND YAN MO] AND OTHER GIVES U KINDA HARD HEARTACHE [GUAN CHAO AND WU YI] BUT THEY BOTH ARE BEAUTIFUL AND LOVEABLE IN THEIR OWN WAYS.
OVER ALL, I LOVE THIS DRAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
