Sparkle Love (2020)

the romantic love story of Pikachu and a great swimming athlete.

I really enjoy the story of this drama, the story of this drama is not heavy but interesting to follow, a beautiful and loyal love story between the two main players is an important ingredient in this drama besides the appearance of the male lead who is very handsome and charming as a swimmer athlete really becomes my reasons and points for finishing this drama, even though he is a newcomer but his performance can be compared to actors who have developed in the acting world for several years. I was quite surprised by his good performance.

of course for those who like sports dramas, don't miss this one.

Pikachu's Sweet but Complicated Story

I watched this drama two dramas ago, lol.. (I write this review after I watched two other dramas (Perfect & Casual and Intense Love).. Just a warning, I love Pikachu.. So, I squealed every time there was Pikachu on the screen..

The idea of the FL character is unique or weird (depend on your interpretation and taste, I guess). Because of the electricity thing, she was often compared to Pikachu. And somehow because of her small frame, it was kinda suitable and seemed cute (just like cute Pikachu). The ML character kinda reminded me of Nam Joo Hyuk in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, because both of them were swimmers in Sport University and both of them kinda had illness.. and both of them needed the FLs to help them curing the said illness.. Acting wise, the casts did a good enough job for their roles..

Plot wise, the drama itself didn't have complicated problems. However, some circumstances made it complicated, I guess. I was a little bit annoyed at the FL in the beginning.. because she was kinda inconsistent of how she felt about ML and SML. Since I'm not a fan of love-triangle, it annoyed me.. The story line was kinda intricated. So basically in my mind, here's what happened: A problem risen, and they solved it half-way, it died down. However, a few episodes later, it was risen again.. So yeah for me that's complicated.. The ending was kinda rush for me.. and there was not enough epilogue, I guess..

I forgot how many days it took for me to finish this drama.. But, for me it wasn't interested enough to be re-watched right away. If a drama was interesting for me, I usually re-watched some interesting episodes while searching for another drama.. and since this drama wasn't interesting enough for me, I ended up re-watching another old drama before I found new drama..

In conclusion, it was an okay drama for me (so I didn't drop it or put it on-hold), but it wasn't interesting enough to be re-watched.

Novel story plot

Pikachu (electric generating female lead) and swimmer romance is at least a novel concept.
Its also a short series of 24 episodes thats like 25 mins each. The FL lead can generate electric currents that will make those affected fall in love with the 1st person they see eye to eye with.

However the FL lead Ling Mei Shi looks plain and ordinary, not sure if its intended. But for most of the series she always looks conflicted. Definitely looks very different from her role in Love by Hypnotic.

The ML lead Zhang Ling He does carry this series as he did well too in maiden holmes. He looks like he will be the next new breed of good looking actors for the next generation as with Wang An yu. Looking forward to his other projects.

The fresh face support casts also helped move this series.

Quick and cute

This drama caught me by surprise. It's has the same clichés other youth/campus/romance drama has, but with a few worthwhile twists.

Both leads are good actors, despite not have a lot experience (I've seen their previous works and they can pull off a lot of emotions, but this type of range is not needed in this drama) so you are entertained by them.

The secondary stories are just complements to the main one, so you get a lot of screen time with the leads and very few with the rest of the cast (and it was great that way).

This one is a very lighthearted drama, you don't get a lot of angst, and the problems that arise are dealt swiftly, so the plot does not drag, but do not expect a lot of logic from the plot. If you think really hard you'll have a lot of unanswered questions, but that's not important, the cuteness is. (LOL)

This is the perfect "filler" drama for you that are in between dramas or watching some heavy ones and are look for a way to chill.

I Definitely recommend and will be looking forward for the lead's next projects.

THE ROMANCE OF UNPOPULAR GIRL AND POPULAR BOY.

I was thinking and watching this drama as a new content.
I didn't thinks as if it is seen.
I complete the whole drama and then some scenes makes me laugh about it.
I watched 1;4;10;;15;18;20;21;22;24 etc.
I watched all the Episodes but the above onces are that which i like in the whole drama.
I gave the ratings as per my own opinion.
This drama is the first drama I have seen which has electric in the whole body.
This drama has some heartful moments.



FL is popular because of electric in her body which is the main plot which has most attention.



THIS DRAMA IS ONE OF BEST DRAMA FOR ELECTRIC LOVE WHICH BRINGS THEM TOGETHER.




ML is popular because of his skills and talent and he is shy person who minds his own business.

It honestly was your average youth drama; but the twist is that the girl has an electric ability but other than that; boy falls in love with girl and vice versa. Not a lot of miscommunication that isn't fixed fast but still has your pointless, stupid and useless side characters that irritate you; for no absolute reason. They really barely do much but when they do; it's like man, why are you even here? Literally same college scenario with athlete and average, not so average girl. Luckily it's also a quick and easy watch tbh. But wasn't mind blowing in any aspect, just your sweet, innocent youth drama; good family, good friends, "bad" guys.

Acting was alright, still new to the game but can't be mad.

Music was nice and chill.

Not a rewatch but worth a watch.

Sweet, Fluffy, No-stress watch

Completed 12/31/2021

Normally, I would not pick this drama to watch. However, I want to end 2021 on a sweet and stress-free note. Therefore, I intentionally choose "Sparkle Love" because I know it's going to be cute and sweet and fluffy. The premise seems interesting enough.

I would recommend this drama to those who like:
1. Super sweet and cute romance
2. Cliches - slow motion glances, accidental kisses, accidental hugs, accidental falling into someone
3. Pikachu!
4. Hot guys with nice bodies with a decent number of topless scenes
5. Decent amount of decent kisses
6. Male chases Female romances

Most of the characters in this drama are pretty likable. There isn't anyone annoying or frustrating. The acting is not bad either. I've seen Zhang Ling He (ML) previously in "Maiden Holmes" and "Love Crossed" and also Ling Mei Shi (FL) in "Love by Hypnotic". I would say their acting are on par to those previous roles. They are cute together and I root for their little romance. If you like kisses, these two leads do kiss quite a bit in this drama, before and after they get together. However, having seen their previous dramas, I am slightly disappointed in the kisses. I know they can do better than that! LOL.

For a quick 24-episode drama, the pacing is not bad. If you cut away the intro and ending themes, each episode is only about 30 mins long. It's a easy binge-watch to kill time. I would say most plot lines are pretty predictable. There are multiple couples/romances in the drama, and I don't think there's enough time to spend on each to make them great. I also question the fashion choices of our female lead. She's the one that dresses the worst out of everyone.

Overall, if you want something a simple, cute, and sweet, and doesn't mind cliches and a predictable plot...then go for it! Sometimes, we all need to watch one of these dramas to make us feel good and loved.

Unrealistic but a beautiful love story

Very unrealistic story. But a beautiful love story of a very cute couple. The amazing chemistry between the male lead and the female lead led me to finish the drama with one go. Ling Mei Shi the FL was extremely cute and natural acting. Zhang Ling He the ML is so adorable with the girl and again very natural acting. Supporting cast gives a great back up to the main characters. Lovely music. Story line is not that great and having several mistake but we can't expect realistic stories in dramas. Its good as a simple sweet collage story. Would love to see more dramas with this couple Ling Mei Shi and Zhang Ling He. They are a super cute couple together.

Cute and electric...

It started off with a gorgeous umbrella scene....This drama is sweet, easy to watch and takes a fun spin on a bunch of well known tropes with en electric charm,combining the classical and oh so fun college male god icicle meet Pikachu (according to them, I know nothing about Pikachu) but it did remind me a lot me of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo just without Nam Joo Hyuk's charisma and charm, but having in mind that this was a c-drama I was just happy to be reminded of one of my all time favorite K-dramas.

The men's swim team was definitely a pleasure for the eye having the male lead being the least attractive of the bunch this swim team was definitely a pleasure to watch. But they dress up a guy as a girl gorgeously not really as a punch line but laugh at how he looks, so unnecessary! There is no forced kissing by the leads, but we do have the classical wrist grab, the hold up against the wall and maybe a record in ways to accidentally fall on to each other lips, very impressive!

The female lead comes of as human, not overly smart, not stupid, she is independent but not cocky and is actually pretty lovable from start to finish. The Male lead goes thru a very quick character development and is actually a pretty lovable guy too. The side characters are not annoying, they may not be perfect but they do not make you want to skip parts like many other side characters do in other c-dramas and the grown ups do not make you want to smash the screen ether, they are actually pretty decent people...

There are some splashes of suspenseful drama and twists, non come as a shock and most of them are underdeveloped but not horraly handled.

All in all an enjoyable watch!

Pikachu Love Story

So this is my second time rewatching this drama and I think I'm still in love with this! The story is quite familiar and somewhat similar to a thai movie that I have watched but this one makes me feel single for a million times. If you haven't watched this drama, YOU SHOULD! ? I definitely recommend it to you. If you want a sweet romantic comedy drama with sports theme then you should start with this one. It's reminds me of Skate Into Love ( one of my favorite cdrama of 2020 )

I'm gonna be honest with you guys. The main reason why I start to watch this drama first because I found the male lead is good looking ( who else don't do that lmao ?) and also their character is so cute and not annoying! Also their chemistry is overflowing with sweetnesses that might the reason why I am still in love with them until today. ? And I am
still so happy to see how their feelings develop on each episodes. I love how Mai si Chong make an innocent and annoyed face everytime he was teased by his friend, the way he call Weiwei "Pikachu" and the second couple .? I'm gonna miss them so much!!!
