I usually don't have the patience for longer dramas but boy was I pulled in by Forget You Remember Love. It definitely takes awhile to be fully immersed but each episode is super addicting and it does the amnesia story in a way that's not too annoying. I remember not really liking the Guanmei people but they really grow on you. Tonghao and Qian Yu's goodbye was probably one of the saddest things I've ever seen which goes to show how amazing the chemistry between the leads are. I feel like this drama has something for everyone - be it romance, family dynamics, funny side characters, and mystery. Jun Hao's family and Yun Yi were really really getting on my nerves but they went through great character development. All the characters are a lot deeper than they seem on the surface and got their perfect endings (except for my baby Taichu *cries*). Idk, it was just such an enjoyable ride and the one thing I looked forward to every week after a lot of online classes and dealing with my family members lol. I grew attached to all the characters. This drama had such a comforting and homey feel to it. There were various side stories that kept me entertained and the beautiful cinematography was another plus. The only downside is that I would've liked for Jun Hao to regain his memories of Tong Hao (but I also know that's insignificant because the important thing is HE as Jun Hao loves Qian Yu).
Yun Yi, in particular, had such an amazing wrap up. I love that they explored her depression and feelings of abandonment. They also did a great job with foreshadowing the conflict of Marv at the end!
The love story, while adorable, is also really tragic. The main leads had to go through so much to be together and their love was so touching and impactful as a viewer. Their love is all the more precious because of how much pain and suffering the main leads had to go through to end up happily together.
There were so many cute scenes that always pop up on my Instagram and I think I'll always click it, even if I've already watched it a dozen times. I know that a lot of people said that storyline is a bit outdated, but I feel like they produced the story in this day and age really well. It was comforting and nostalgic to watch something that gave me 2010s vibes.
A lot of the actors are newbies or people I haven't really heard of before, but I really hope to see them in more projects in the future!
I'm really going to miss all the characters and Guanmei and just tuning in every week. Even though it may have not been the most spectacular thing I've watched, it really has my heart and I'm so happy that it wrapped up so nicely. It is so underrated and definitely deserves more love!
