Watch this one for the main-leads!

Chen Fang Tong & Dai Gao Zheng totally fired up the screen in "Maid`s Revenge" so i have been unable to forget these two for a long while. I was so excited when i got to know they would star in a new drama together. "Forever Love" is a contemporary romance with business intrigues and politics. We have investigations going on, combat scenes and betrayals. But the fiery chemistry between the main-leads totally made this worth the watch, i binge watched it in one day. Dai Gao Zheng is absolutely gorgeous as the bodyguard Qin Mo Yao and i loved how absolutely besotted he is with Tong. Their love-scenes made me absolutely warm all over. Ahhhh how i hope for more dramas with both of them steaming up the screen again!!

Their Acting

This one should be watch! I tried watching this just yesterday when I saw it in WeTV. I was really hooked since the beginning. It’s really worth watching. Not only did I like the ML but I’m liking the FL too. She’s really good at acting! You’ll be really touched. No doubt about that. I also like the way they dressed up and the production. You guys should try watching this. From the beginning till the end. Thumbs up to the TV Series and Actors/Actresses and the Director of course! ❤️❤️❤️????

Best quick watch, bravo!!!

I can’t resist the pairing of Dai Gao Zheng and Chen Fang Tong after their “Maid’s Revenge” and so it excites me to see them here again. This time it was a better story with a polished plot development unlike with other mini-series that seemed to leave me with a hanging thought about the story. I was in awe of their strong screen chemistry. The intimate scenes were shot beautifully. I absolutely loved how they kissed and hugged and when they had their personal talks facing closely to each other. Superb dialogue lines indeed made their performances stand out. Chen Fang Tong looked a little plump here but as for me, it did not affect the overall visual of their pairing. This drama was compulsively watchable and looking forward to their future project together.

Real life dealings.

the FL is super strong and intelligent... wasn't one to bully and the ML's sworn brother..a smart investigator.
The ML too was very reasonable in as much as he allowed his love emotions to cloud his sense and taste of a complete revenge for his family.
the SML was too stupid, always thinking he was in control.
SFL too acting was good, I like how she brought her character life... making it more life like in that all the hatred she didn't hide once she was exposed.
In all too, the plot was well executed for me, reasons been that, the male lead didn't take too much vagence to heart.
The kiss scenes were all mature acting, the lovey dovey and their confidence while displaying so was great.
I didn't get to watch the full episodes from WETV because their subscription fee is too high for me. I watched the four hours duration from YouTube and I'm been able to deduce all these from there.
I'll recommend this ??

GIVE THESE TWO A PROPER SHOW

Once again I'm back and watching this show for these two after Maid's Revenge and nothing else and once again they carried this show with the help of a better, not amazing just better, plot.

I'm not even going to sugarcoat this these two are AMAZING actors who deserves a throught out plot, amazing set design and everything that is needed for their amazing talent to shine throught.

I'm hoping to see them in more things together because chemistry like the two of them had needs to be put on multiple shows.

Only if you want to see a very hot Dai Gao Zheng ( 。◕‿◕。 )

I don't understand the good comments about this series!

OK, I'm not a fan of mini dramas because the story is often poorly developed. But I watched it for Dai Gao Zheng (ෆ`꒳´ෆ) which I really like. On the other hand, I don't like at all Chen Fang Tong (expressionless Barbie doll) who plays the FL.

PLOT: a bodyguard (the ML) helps the blind heiress (the FL) he protects, to fight against the plots / betrayals of her fiancé and her best friend. The FL is investigating the death of her father and the ML wants to avenge his family (bankruptcy, suicide, illness, etc.).

PROS:
+ Dai Gao Zheng very sexy
+ lots of kisses and skinship

CONS:
- Story poorly built up, clumsy, where events happen abruptly, and full of every possible cliché.
- I know it's a low-budget production but the costumes are too cheap, tacky and poorly cut, even the engagement ring is adjustable!!! There are limits that must not be crossed in the cheap business!!
- Another series where we wonder if there is a police force in China... Murders, corruption, attacks, etc. but we don't see a single uniform in the whole drama Щ(◣д◢)Щ
- OST poorly suited to the climate of the scenes.

=> Fortunately it was short, otherwise I would have dropped it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Je ne comprends pas les bons commentaires sur cette série !
OK, je ne suis pas fan des mini dramas car l'histoire est souvent mal développée. Mais je l'ai regardé pour Dai Gao Zheng (ෆ`꒳´ෆ) que j'aime beaucoup. Par contre, je n'aime pas du tout Chen Fang Tong (poupée Barby inexpressive) qui joue la FL.

PLOT: un bodyguard (le ML) aide l'héritière aveugle (la FL) qu'il protège à lutter contre les complots de son fiancé et de sa bestie. La FL enquête sur la mort de son père et le ML veut venger sa famille (banqueroute, suicide, maladie, etc.).

PROS:
+ Dai Gao Zheng très sexy
+ beaucoup de kisses et de skinship

CONS:
- Story mal construite, maladroite, où les événements arrivent de façon abrupte, et bourrée de tous les clichés possibles.
- Je sais que c'est une production low-budget mais les costumes sont trop bon marché, bling-bling et mal coupés, même la bague de fiançailles est ajustable !!! Il y a des limites à ne pas franchir dans le cheap !!
- Encore une série où on se demande s'il y a une police en Chine ... Meurtres, corruptions, agressions, etc. mais on ne voit pas un seul uniforme dans tout le drama Щ(◣д◢)Щ
- OST peu adaptés au climat des scènes.

=> Heureusement que c'était court, sinon j'aurai zappé !

CFT and DGZ never fail with their chemistry

I started this drama to get my Maid’s Revenge fix… Basically I wanted to see gorgeous Chen Fang Tong and hot Hot HOT Dai Gao Zheng make out a lot. I got what I was looking for and more.

Forever Love has a bit of a role reversal happening—the FL is more like the “chaebol” rich, spoiled, beautiful heiress while the ML is her poor, hardworking employee. It’s just enough role reversal to mix it up while still keeping the cliches that make dramas like this comforting. There’s got to be at least a few scenes of the ML rescuing the FL, pushing her up against the wall to kiss her, you know, the (slightly problematic) works.

Dao Gao Zheng does a great job. He’s got this role of the damaged but over-protective hero down pat. He does a ton of mini-dramas and it seems like he’s getting type-cast at this point. Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?

Chen Fang Tong seriously delivers in this drama. She plays the blind heiress who recently lost her father under mysterious circumstances and is trying to find his killer. She’s smart and careful, competent but not to Mary-Sue degrees, a damsel at times but not to irritating degrees. I loved the way she would order people (especially the ML) around haughtily, lifting her hand expectantly like “aren’t you going to help your mistress??” XD iconic

The plot mostly focuses on the FL solving her family mystery with the help of the ML, who’s also scheming behind the scenes to avenge his own family’s downfall and get justice. The romance progresses slowly (for a mini-series) but with lots of good kisses and intimacy. Once the leads get together, they mostly trust each other and act like reasonable, mature people. What a pleasant surprise.

Production value was another pleasant surprise —- you never know what you’re going to get with these mini-series. For instance, I just watched Dusk Love with Dai Gao Zheng, which felt like it had half the budget and a MUCH worse script compared to Forever Love.

TROPES (light spoilers)
- ML falls first & hard, ML chases first
- boss/employee relationship (FL is employer)
- murder mystery & business/shareholder politics
- fateful past encounter
- hidden/mistaken identity

A love story

sometime i thought why is it 12 minutes of drama ? Because i was enjoy watching it . Short story and perfectly execute . only ending part , it can end in a perfect way. Nice hatred story to love story . Actors were good and even story . I liked the chemistry between the leads . i had seen their short time interval based drama befoe that was good but that had sad ending . when i was watching the last part of the last episode i hoped that it should not end in the same way but thank god it had happy ending . but i wanted to see their marriage then for me it would be the perfect t drama with no flaws.

Unnecessarily long and boring;/

This had no reason to be this long and unnecessary.

So, let's say something good about this drama
.
.
steamy kisses
Gege's abs.

The plot was lowkey trash—unnecessary, boring, dumb, and utterly uninteresting .

Our supposed "villain" is more of a clown. Everyone keeps saying, "Oh, he'll do this, he'll do that," but his plans? Absolute garbage, with a success rate of 0.001%. Scary, right? Yeah, no.

And then there's the FL who sexually harasses the ML without getting called out even once. Flip the genders, and ML would be in jail ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

FL isn't just naive; she's pure dumb. She lives in a black-and-white world. Even a kindergartener could make better choices. She invites unnecessary drama to herself ⁠°⁠_⁠o

Our ML? Just a simp for FL and nothing more. But oh, when he removes his shirt... hehe. They should've explored his character and backstory more instead of wasting time on nonsense.

I watched this whole mess at 2x speed and still fast-forwarded through most of it. Dumb decisions, poor story development, and unnecessary drama!

4.4/10

Thank you for reading my review ^^

Same old storyline

Their kisses are passionate? but the storyline is not ???

Let me try and summarise:
Rich heiress father dies, she becomes temporarily blind. Her fiancée is cheating with her best friend. In comes the new bodyguard who falls in love with her. Discovers the plot that the fiancée and best friend had something to do with the father’s death and is planning to steal her company and money!! Yep, nothing new?

It’s only 12 mins each episode, so an easy watch. Nothing fantastic, only if you need a drama filler in between.

Not an exciting plot with mediocre acting from the leads, and bad acting from supporting cast.

Forever Love is a short web Cdrama about a rich young heiress, Lin Xin Tong, who is betrayed by her boyfriend, Chi Shan, and her best friend, Xia Yu Wei.

Her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend, and they are scheming together to get her inheritance to transfer to her boyfriend, Chi San, after her father's death, where she was temporarily blind by the incident.

Qin Mo Yao is a brilliant medical student who succeeds in everything he does. He is handsome, appears sharp, cold, and mysterious, and is willing to do everything to protect Lin Xin Tong and help her in the shadows.

The onscreen chemistry between Chen Fang Tong and Dai Gao Zheng is not bad. Apparently, this is their second collaboration together. They were in Maid's Revenge before, and it was also a short web drama. I didn't watch that one.

The story is nothing special for this drama, but I have watched 22 episodes since it was short. I intend to finish it. I give it a 5.0 rating.

Can't help but be disappointed

I'm a Maid's Revenge baby so I was over the moon when this happened, I jumped on right away which was a mistake since the episodes are really short and some of them are really boring.
The plot is nothing new nor original, but I think nobody will mind the predictably and the clichés. I expected the explosive chemistry between the leads, however the acting, in my opinion, was nowhere close to their previous work and the ultimate proof are the kiss scenes: if you thought they were good (I know you did, I've read the comments) wait till you see the ones in TBR, when I tell you they got me feeling shy, like I was intruding.
It wasn't definitely bad, especially considering it's a web drama, however couldn't help but feel a little disappointed because I expected more from the cast.
Absolutely valid if you want something light and short to binge watch.
