I've Fallen for You (2020)

Sweet, Fun, Rom-Com

This is a low budget web drama that hardly has any promotion and goes under many viewers' radar. It is a non-serious romantic comedy, and initially, I thought I wouldn't like it. Somehow, though an easy-to-follow story, there are some twists and turns, mysteries and crimes, and a big overall conspiracy that really got me hooked on.

The acting is more like a high school drama - playful and silly. The names of the characters are hilarious to say the least. The Chinese characters used in Zhao Cuo's name have the homophone with the meaning "wrong anyway", whereas his father's name Zhao Juan Dui literally means, "All correct". The play of words in the dialogues with the names is simply hilarious.

Despite being a very light-hearted cute drama, there are some really wonderful moments, especially between the main leads and the dynamics between Zhao Cuo and his parents. With all the bickering and playfulness, Tian San Qi and Zhao Cuo have good chemistry together. I also love the side couple Bai Yi Fei and He Ruo Yao. Though very good looking, Bai Yi Fei is like a piece of wood and is very cute and funny, and He Ruo Yao has a wonderful female personality that I love.

I love the songs sung during the moments when one thinks or longs for the other. The melodies are contemporary love ballads which are very beautiful. Of all the songs, I fall in love with a nursery rhyme that is repeatedly sung by Tian San Qi and Zhao Cuo for each other; it is one of the most adorable nursery rhymes I've ever loved.

My verdict: If you don't have any other dramas to watch, or waiting in between dramas, "I've Fallen For You" is a pleasant one to watch given its light-heartedness and a short series.

I wasn’t about to watch this drama mainly because the plot itself didn’t look too promising (& I’m highkey a picky historical cdrama watcher) but I ended up watching it for my bb Esther Yu. I’m not even kidding the first few eps got me rolling LMAO and I’m glad this was more of a light hearted drama (compared to other cdramas w messy harems). However towards the end the entire plot got too messy, things were too rushed and the main leads’ acting just weren’t the same¿ It had me questioning whether I should continue to watch which in the end I did. The ML’s acting definitely looked forced and awkward at times especially when he tries to speak in a low voice. However other than him everyone’s acting was really good and that was mostly why I stayed towards the end. The relationships of the support roles w the main leads were so wholesome, main leads chemistry was good especially during the kISS SCENES SDHDHS, OST was good, and overall just a lighthearted and funny drama.

I would probably recommend watching this drama if u just want a good laugh tbh or if u just wanna kill time don’t quote me on that tho :0
