A one time watch

Forever love looks like its gonna be alot of fluff and meaningless, but isn't.
It has a particular charm to it. The acting of the actors actually surprised me, to think that they are around 20 years of age in real life, mindblown. They have huge potential and will probably become big in the future, I'm already calling it.
The story isnt all too mindblowing but the small things about the show make it better, I love how they showed *spoiler* zhang fei cleverly as someone who is extremely low on self confidence therefore takes it out on others. It's such a realistic view of a person who is hurt and therefore finds the need to hurt others. You cant really hate her even though she has negative undertones. Very interesting take that makes the audience understand her.
The chemistry was extremely pure, maybe a little too pure, but still cute. They had alot of fluff moments.
The show is actually kinda interesting, the relationships of the different leads make it better. Xiao xi and zhang han both have very cute friend groups,they were goals.I loved the other characters like Duan ning, qiu yan and huai wu. Humor was also on point.The first few episodes were actually really really good.

Now for the things I dont like. The show is unrealistic, starting from the title lmao. The male lead takes the name of marriage and start ups like it's some game. The show is I think is filtered for like age 8 or something because there are no realistic scenes in love, almost all kiss scenes are toned down or cut (didn't quite understand why). I heard people talking about how the couple were "mature". I never thought once that they were mature, they were actually the opposite. They hid things from each other apparently not to worry the other, took things that they cant handle in thier own hands and suffered meaningless pain that would have reduced if they just shared it.
The writing is mediocre, they repeat problems in the show itself and also old drama troupes keep popping up everywhere. The dialogues are unrealistic and not that well written. Its basically recycled storylines. The love triangles, squares and hexagons were not that enjoyable either it was kinda frustrating. The second half of the show made me loose interest and frustrated.
The second lead couple kept me interested in the show for like 5 episodes and then I hated both of them, though they were kinda cute. Nothing too fresh about thier storyline either.

Overall a time pass drama, nothing too deep, a little frustrating but bearable.
