I Felt in Love !!
I rarely write long reviews, in fact, I barely write reviews cuz I'm a lazy type of person!
But as Fall in Love was my first watched Republican Era drama (I tried to watch Arsenal Military Academy, but I dropped. maybe I'll try again cuz I'm a huge fan of Bai Lu) and I enjoyed soooo much, I felt like writing!!
Why I enjoyed so much?! Well...
1- The costumes catch my eyes and I have a soft spot for it (I'm a fashion photographer)
2 - The soundtrack is really cool. The intro and outro songs got stuck in my ears and I found myself watching the end credits in almost every episode just to sing along (this never happened!)
3 - A strong, intelligent and - often - ahead of her time FL, which is a rarity in chinese dramas and surprised me even more for being a period drama. Okay, sometimes she was saved by ML, but that doesn't take away the merit. I was very impressed with the actress, who is practically a newcomer and managed to deliver all the emotions of the role!!! Hope to see her more often in other roles!!
4- The rhythm of the series caught me from the first episode!! Each episode had a plot and ML always managed to anticipate it, even with several plot holes and also with some predictable ones the story developed very well and caught my attention from beginning to end
5 - The lead's chemistry is impressive...the fun and intelligent dialogues and the way they trust each other and grow together throughout the story.
What I didn't like was that the leads are always deviating from the schemes and they don't have a happy time together...the last two episodes could have been written in a way to let them spend more couple time together (a time skip, maybe , already with children...) I missed it!
Another thing: when the production crew are going to learn how to make fake blood??? Guys, with gelatine and food coloring you make fake blood that looks real!!!! It's the easiest thing in the world!!! I can't stand pink blood in a series that has war and a lot of scenes that involve blood, right?! Also the war and fight scenes were pretty weak...
Overall I really liked it, it surprised me, I recommend it and, for sure, I will review it at some point!
