WHY IS THE RATING SO HIGH? let me tell you the SECRET

As you may have already seen my ratings, I loved this drama. I suddenly came across the manhua while surfing through webtoon sites and just like that I really like the art, the translation and the characters. My teen age is over and I had a crush so it was kind of relatable and maybe that is why i loved the manhua and i couldn't keep my patience when i heard that it was going to have an adaptation so i read the novel.

You may question the ratings at times when you get to this page but there really are reasons why they are so high. THE ADAPTATION DONE RIGHT !! it gave justice to the novel and the manhua with amazing leads playing the characters, the emotions, the clothing, the whole vibe of the plot and everything. So first of all, novel/manhua fans are content with how this drama turned out so beautiful and so true to the real line.

Then comes the acting, you may doubt the acting of leads in regards to their age but its the same as we expected. It should have been that way and it is that way, meaning the childish voice, the early adolescence, the growing up, you'll notice the character growth as you watch it so do watch it well before judging it.

Black fans created few accusations when this drama aired and many who initially hadn't felt that this drama showed anything bad that also started to doubt if it did, but you will notice it, the way ml looks at fl changing (when they meet after years), and guys we all had that secret crush on some senior, someone years older than us, we did that too, our crush didn't turn real but Sang Zhi's did and it was so pure and heartwarming that the age gap didn't matter, these days 10 years gap is normalizing, 8 years gap is considered IDEAL, so it shouldn't have been a problem right? Did you hear what Yu Xin (roommate) said ? Doesn't it make sense? it does right. Sang Zhi grew up well, i was rooting for her, i was feeling for her, the falling for someone, wishing for others, feeling sad, moving on, can't help the beating heart even after years, doubting if he can love me back and everything.. i was rooting for her even when i knew the whole what was going to happen stuff. and it was because the acting was so good.
the innocent Zhizhi, the am i falling for him Zhizhi, the i should help him Zhizhi, the you are my dram Zhizhi, the heartbroken Zhizhi, the growing up Zhizhi, the is he flirting with me Zhizhi, the playing hard to get Zhizhi, the working Zhizhi, the loved Zhizhi, LUSI did so well. the fighting back problems Jiaxu, the must work hard Jiaxu, the am i falling for her Jiaxu, the CAN I WOO YOU? Jiaxu, shameless Jiaxu, CHEN ZHEYUAN did well too. and ohhhhhh myyyy godddd VICTOR MA ! I loved the Sang Yan character so so much, the expressions, the brother sister relationship, him being the protective brother, him knowing his sister and bestfriend dating, him getting annoyed, i loved him so much. So i said at first, the actors here are irreplaceable. Can't think of anyone else playing these characters in such smooth way. Side characters are so good too.

The music in this drama, not a single song is bad. The love can be clear with Spotify streams. It is doing so well globally as a Chinese drama playlist. You may have heard the singers name before too and you can stream them too if you like.

There were so many problems while this drama was shot but the final results turned out so well. It was like an escape and a fresh light drama with no unnecessary twists and trauma an (dark past of leads kinda story which is very much in every drama these days), you can just watch this drama without having to stress out on whats happening now, who, what all that, this is a romance drama, crushing and all, and it SERVED WELL!!

So if you are a romance genre lover, or you are looking for sweet, heartwarming drama, good actors, music, pleasing cinematography and binge worthy drama, WATCH ITT!! Don't read any comments or doubt everything said or anything, just watch it and without any bias, you'll like this

BETTER DAYS.. THEY GOT IT

No explanation.. No words
THIS IS IT.. THIS IS THE MOVIE

Always had wanted to watch this movie.. always felt hesitant because i was not ready for this. Not ready in a sense that i didn't want to have nothing i wanted to watch. The leads were amazing, the reality, there was no glorification, the story. I am just elongating this review because MDL has a min 500 word review criteria. As i said, no explanation needed. What do i write now? ok the guy.. he was just wow/ ok what else because i don't have no words.. no words for real

Beautiful

Hold my hand at twilight
I haven't watched many jdramas lately.. don't get me wrong but my experience with them haven't been pleasing at most. And this one blew away my heart and broke that with a sledge hammer. No over reacting, No unnecessary characters, No cringe, No always so perfect type .. This drama had visuals, production, and OST.. don't even get me started on that. I already added it to my playlist on spotify. The actors were amazing. I cried twice .. no thrice .. okay i lost count but it was necessary. The leads bickering was too cute, the landlord is a chef's kiss.. i mean in short, i loved everything !!

WATCH IT

UNEXPECTED LY LOVED IT SM

FORBIDDEN LOVE DONE RIGHT

I hesitated after reading the synopsis, i thought i won't be able to complete it because I haven't really liked any age gap sota dramas, shows.. but damn the actors did it so well. They did such an amazing job, at 15 and at 25, at 18 and at 28, at 23 and at 33.. i cried at the last episodes. The chemistry was strong, the love was stronger, the surrounding realistic and the forbidden taboo was crushed. Damnnnnn it was such unexpected love which I have towards this drama. LOVEDD IT

THIS IS PERRRRRFECT

Who Rules The World
The interesting story line with alter ego and hidden identity of both leads intrigued me to watch and obviously the casting of Zhao Lusi and Yang Yang.. These two as always acted up the expectations and i couldn't have asked for more.. literally when i first saw the trailer months ago, i got chills and goosebumps all over me and when it finally aired i couldn't keep calm.. Everything is so good, the ost bam Liu Yuning's and upcoming osts from Wang Sulong and many more, the ending music is cool too and NOT TO FORGET ! The outfit, the weapon choice, The makeup, The hair, The set, Everything is really well set and i can't wait to watch more episodes of it. Its really worth the wait ✨

People be complaining about overdubbing but watching all these mainland dramas, its what we should accept as not everyone knows every dialect and This drama has acceptable dubbing .. Its not over the top, Yang Yang's voice is of Wang yibo's voice artist from The Untamed .. Zhao Lusi's voice is the same from her in The Long Ballad (their voices match pretty well) and talking about the role and acting.. its spot on

The flirting isn't cringy and there isn't the typical romantic scenes like mouth to mouth medicine feeding, accidental kiss and all that .. This one has light cute moments and the humor, sarcasm of these characters cracked me up.. its really fun watching it and i am LOVINGGGGGGG IT

Lets die during Spring

No words.. No words
I don't know where should I start
The acting PHENOMENAL
Revenge dramas were never my type but lately some caught my heart and this didn't disappoint
Pleasurable revenge
Woahh
I cried at the last episode, I smiled at the last episode.. i mean this couldn't have been more better
Some scenes were cut i guess but FINE
I don't mind those teeny weeny stuffs, i was busy complaining i wanted more
The leads ??
Just so good WATCH IT

Netflix did its thing with this part . . Iykyk
But damnn
Anyways everyone got their end .. i was just hoping a little more for the leads ending up together, well they did but I thought i saw a marriage shorts of The Glory on youtube so i was anticipating it also thinking the episode is ending and where would it fit

But but I LOVE YOU
I LOYE YOU

ayeeeeeee ❤️❤️
