I did not expect to like this as much as I did....

A wonderful person on reddit mentioned this on a recommendation post that I read and I felt like I was running low on dramas I wanted to see. This was actually a great drama if you can move past some wardrobe/makeup and sometimes acting in scenes. The FL lead I swear wore a wig half of the time and then it was her real hair. So I don't actually know. The ML however, had so much makeup packed onto his face that I don't understand. He looks very cute! I like the story line a lot because it's not super common to have the FL be the superstar jock and the ML be super supportive and like INTO it.

I really liked that the ML just said his feelings. He did come around delayed but he never really denied his feelings which I appreciate because sometimes ML just spend half of the drama denying rather than doing anything. I think Puff Go did a really good job with her character because she was definitely the tsundre type like other ML characters! I also liked how the ML just did what he could to help and was very sweet after they got together.

I liked that the office workers were fun characters and they even (imo) had small character developments.

I think that this is a charming find. I liked watching it and it was sometime surface level but I still really liked it.


However. I can't get past the shoes they made the FL wear when she is office casual. I just can't. I refused to look at them.

Charms with a solid plot, character growth, and heartwarming moments. Engaging from start to finish.

Hey there! So, I just wrapped up "Falling Into You," and wow, what a ride! I gotta tell you, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Now, Taiwanese romantic comedies aren't always my go-to, but this one? It exceeded my pretty low expectations, and I had a blast watching it.

First off, Puff Kuo and Jiro Wang? They're like the dream team of this drama. The chemistry between them is off the charts. Puff nailed her role as Chen Zi Tong, this badass Taekwondo athlete who got dealt a rough hand. And Jiro as Fang Zhi Sheng? CEO with a fear of blood? Count me in! Their love story started with some unexpected mishaps and evolved into this heartwarming journey of overcoming obstacles.

What I really appreciated was the storyline. It's not your typical run-of-the-mill plot. Chen Zi Tong, once this promising athlete, faces betrayal and a gnarly knee injury that forces her to ditch her Olympic dreams. But she's not the damsel in distress; she's strong, determined, and Puff Kuo brings her to life in the best way.

And Fang Zhi Sheng? He's not your usual flawless CEO. He's quirky, a bit narcissistic, and maybe a tad childish, but underneath, he's sweet and caring.

The second couple, Chen Zi Tong's brother, and Fang Zhi Sheng's aunt? Cute as buttons! Their love story adds this extra layer of sweetness and interest. And can we talk about the Taekwondo scenes? Puff and Xi Wei Lun did a commendable job, making those moves look legit.

Now, I had some mixed feelings about Fang Qing, the second female lead. She didn't quite sound or act like a 40-year-old, and her behavior sometimes felt a bit off. But hey, no drama's perfect, right?

The romance, though enjoyable, could've used a bit more oomph. After Chen Zi Tong and Fang Zhi Sheng get together, it's all mature and nice, but I wouldn't have minded some more of those sweet, fluffy moments.

Towards the end, things got a bit unrealistic, especially with Chen Zi Tong's comeback story. I mean, I get it's a drama, but a little more realism wouldn't have hurt. And the Olympic qualifying tournament? Let's just say, it made me raise an eyebrow or two.

Despite these quirks, "Falling Into You" kept me hooked. The pacing was just right, and each episode left me eager for the next. It's not your typical revenge-seeking drama, and the characters, even the ones you might dislike initially, grow on you.

In a nutshell, "Falling Into You" is a refreshing, engaging drama with a strong female lead, a quirky male lead, and a plot that keeps you on your toes. So, if you're on the lookout for something different and not at all boring, I'd totally recommend giving this one a shot!

First TD I really liked
The plot was logical and arranged
The side stories were parallel to the main one
Although I was interested about the 2nd leads more
The music wasn't bad

My thoughts about the story

Some characters were illogical for me
Like the mom and the best friend and the ex-boyfriend

And till the end I couldn't give a tiny excuse for the mom or her best friend or even feel sympathy for both
They were real mean B****s

Why didn't the bestfriend tell her honestly about all she was angry about??
Why she chose to be full of grudge and envy like that ??
And to steal all what belonged to the FL
And I couldn't get how come the FL forgave her and why and also apologized O.o
Which made me want to scream

Till the end I couldn't get why was the mom's attitude like that
Aggressive, stiff and cruel
Very very bad character I couldn't love her at all

The male lead was somehow cute
The 2nd male lead was adorable I fell in love with him really

Except these points it was really cute
Try to give it a try it's nice one
