Perfect pacing and full of light
I often get frustrated with dramas, especially BL storylines, that depend on toxic behaviours or situations to create tension or move the plot forward, and this has none of that. Even a plot line that is tense and has high stakes has a resolution that reflects kindness and cleverness as valuable. The leads have very natural chemistry, and in particular Yang is the very definition of heart eyes. They lean on lots of classic rom coms tropes but they feel cute and fresh rather than forced.

this was so cute!!
Okay, I watched this because of Daohoffroad, saw quite a few tiktoks on my fyp and I just had to check their series out....and it was such a cute show! I really enjoyed the story and the fact that they added some "plot twists" and suspense! I saw some people say it was unnecessary but I honestly don't think so.It was a bit cringy at times, but I actually didn't really mind it that much and overall I think it was really well done!
I cannot wait to see more of Daouoffroad! I already love them! <3

Destiny... or something.
Love in Translation has a lot of adorable traits to it. The two mains are very cute together and their chemistry isn't terrible, though also not the best I've seen. There was a lot of silliness, which I enjoyed, and for a large part there was a light-hearted nature. The two start off on the wrong foot, find common ground, and then one is star-obsessed while the other develops a crush. It's sweet and endearing.Where the drama lost me was in the last couple episodes. I have a huge pet peeve for drama being thrown in just for the sake of having some kind of stressor in the storyline. I wish that they had just let this be a cute, fluff piece instead of adding in that extra layer -- which I say add in, but it didn't actually add anything. It felt silly, but not in the sweet way.
I would watch the actors again, but the drama is one I feel like I'll forget within a matter of days or weeks, unfortunately. Sweet, but forgettable.
