Love Unexpected (2022)

This is one hot mess! So confusing!

Umm… this drama is a hot mess! Literally! It jumped around and did not run smooth or make sense. The story was lacking so much! If my review sounds confusing… it is all because of this drama!!!! It messed with my brain. I think it made me confused… haha!!

But No, seriously… if you read my review and are confused well… that is exactly how you will feel watching this drama!

Storyline - I could tear this entire drama apart bit by bit and explain how it is confusing. I will only list the worst of them… from the description listed… it did not match up with the story that was told here. In the first episode I was like… um where does she “fall in love and confess to him and get rejected?” How is she his personal nutritionist, for years mind you, when all she did is cook one meal and then is let go because it was not the same as he remembered? And what is with the anorexia bit? Why did he have it and how to solve it? I was confused from the first episode. And her 12 yr old self and the age difference when they get older makes no sense… she aged yet he did not? How about… she disappeared for years yet he spent time with her parents and knew them even through her first time travel yet he could not find her? Her amnesia in 2024… she cannot remember him and her parents are even confused as to her loss of memory and they don’t recognize him??? She wakes up a year later at the end and… what? What FREAKING HAPPENED?!?!?? Confusion to the max! And the villain was no better. I am so lost, lost, lost…..

I could sort of understand what they wanted to accomplish here but it just was not executed properly or written well. I just don’t understand why they even released this drama for us to watch. Why?

Acting/Cast - I really think they could have done better with a MUCH better script/story. I have a hard time knocking them down because in all honesty I think they did their best with what they were given.

Music - was great! Loved it. Just wish the drama was better.

Rewatch - umm it is a definite NO!!! Don’t waste your time.

Overall was Okish

So the story overall was going okish. starting went a bit confusing as they swap time zone within one episode. Which was then again a good experience to see what is happening in 2012 and how things changed all of a sudden in 2024.
For all those who will watch and want to know spoiler things got better after episode 5 and the story stuck to one time zone from episode 10 onwards.. which was 2012.

Story went a bit drag but in the end went like ZOOM !! like the director or writer just had to finish things off asap. It was a happy ending but still feels incomplete from villain side. Like what happened Gao Ru Wen when he was strangling Lu Fan Fan. Just a guess that as police siren was going on in back he might have got arrested. But what happened to younger Gao Ru Wen who ran away with his father. There should have been a positive impact in future Gao Ru Wen too... maybe ... just own point of view.

So about the ending when Fan Fan getting strangled by Gao Ru Wen. Next scene was getting up in hospital in 2025. Figuring she travelled back to her time 1 year later which is 2025 finding out she was in coma for a year. And then the ending lit went like happy ending byebye take care y'all.

Overall, is it worth watching?! Would recommend if you don't have anything else to watch, go for it. The story was cute having twists, acting was pretty good too. Wouldn't say its a waste of time. But they could have made it better.
