Lemme tell y’all. I deadass created an acc to write this review. I feel like I’ve been watching dramas since I was fresh out the womb and none of the c-dramas that I have watched ever made me THIS ADDICTED. What really made me first watch this drama was obv our bbg Janice Wu and the fact that this drama is based on the authors personal experience, therefore being a true story. At first I thought this was going to be a typical “smart guy and dumb girl” or a “girl that can never stand up for herself and needs the guy to protect her” type of drama but y’all i was wrong. Every character is so unique in their way and charm it’s indescribable. Usually when we watch dramas there’s always like one or two characters that you do not like but in this drama you literally cannot not like anyone because of how well they all compliment eachother.

I recommend this drama if you are trying to watch a high quality drama. Please thoroughly watch this and do not skim some parts cause ik y’all can be impatient sometimes. This drama will definitely make you laugh, cry, and learn *make sure you watch till the end of some episodes to know why you’ll “learn”* Also GIRL THE KISS SCENES YALLLL IF U WANTING SOME HIGH QUALITY CHINESE KISSING THEN WATCH THIS DRAMA THERE AINT NO “GUY KISSING A WALL” SCENES. Ok this my first review ever. Bye

I wasn’t about to watch this drama mainly because the plot itself didn’t look too promising (& I’m highkey a picky historical cdrama watcher) but I ended up watching it for my bb Esther Yu. I’m not even kidding the first few eps got me rolling LMAO and I’m glad this was more of a light hearted drama (compared to other cdramas w messy harems). However towards the end the entire plot got too messy, things were too rushed and the main leads’ acting just weren’t the same¿ It had me questioning whether I should continue to watch which in the end I did. The ML’s acting definitely looked forced and awkward at times especially when he tries to speak in a low voice. However other than him everyone’s acting was really good and that was mostly why I stayed towards the end. The relationships of the support roles w the main leads were so wholesome, main leads chemistry was good especially during the kISS SCENES SDHDHS, OST was good, and overall just a lighthearted and funny drama.

I would probably recommend watching this drama if u just want a good laugh tbh or if u just wanna kill time don’t quote me on that tho :0

It’s literally 5am and I have a 8am class sOON BUT I FINISHED ALL 24 EPS :0 tbh I was confused at first because the drama made it seem like Ye Lin was the ML but LMAO JOKES ON ME ITS YE MIAO not complaining tho;)
For an honest review, I really enjoyed the plot it wasn’t cliché but tbh it was like the typical Chinese youth drama. Everything goes well and is light and fluffy up until the last few eps so don’t get shocked when you start crying and cursing at a fEW MFS for making you this emotional *trust me I did it* What makes this drama really special are the scenes of the main leads exploring the art of ancient painting and how because of this, formed unexpected friendships (& love interests HEHEHE) In the end I really wished that this drama was a few eps longer because the ending felt very rushed and all over the place idk I’m not a Calculus ho but shit didn’t add up and kinda left me hanging:// If this drama gets a season 2 then I hope they focus solely on Ye Miao And Ruining’s relationship! LOLL anyways I really enjoyed this drama and since I sacrificed my college studying time for this yOU SHOULD TOO jk but it was good guys!

Omg I deadass have finals tmr but I ended up watching all the episodes of this drama in 2-3days rip me and my grades;”) anyways this drama is so light and fluffy and I love how it shows us the importance of friendship and teamwork and how it contributes to success. Ji Xiang Kong and Qui Ying compliment eachother so well as they become eachothers biggest supporters and admirers in this drama. They went through hell and back and my heart aCHED for them omg.
The second lead couple ARE SO CUTE OML their fights and bickering always make me laugh. Ok let’s talk about the ANTAGONISTS YES I SAID THAT QIAO XIN AND MI YA GIRL STAY IN UR LANE OMG YALL AINT SHIT SORRY. If y’all have high blood pressure please don’t watch this drama because I think my veins exploded already;”)

But overall the acting was great, especially Qui Ying’s given the fact that she’s fairly new in the acting industry but tbh the crying scenes were trash. The competition scenes were INTENSE OMG I don’t even game but that shit got me sitting on the edge of my seat. The songs/osts were amazing and overall I would recommend this drama!

To all the people who are hesitant to watch this for the following reasons: 1. You have watched the Eternal Love series and think their acting is cringe/below average 2. You had previously watched the other “You are my Destiny” ogs and believe that this one won’t be up to your standard 3. You think this plot is cliche etc. HOLD TF UP YALL LEMME TELL U. I was definitely skeptical of Liang Jie’s acting skills after watching the trailer because imo her acting has not really improved ever since the Eternal Love series. But after watching a few eps of this drama I will wholeheartedly admit that I was wrong. Idk wtf she did but she really made Jia Xin’s naive, innocent and sticky note character believable, bringing realism to her character in this modern setting. I watched SO MANY like literally hundreds of c dramas bruh and I can say the chemistry between the leads is unmatched. It's too good hmm maybe too believable LOL. I can vouch that if one or both of these actors were replaced this drama would have probably done a lot worse. If y’all go to the deep side of the c drama lists ur gonna find some pretty bad acting, acting worse than a 5 year old lying to their mom. Let's talk about the plot next. Yes, this plot is definitely cliche and gives me a mix of a lot of diff versions of other dramas that I have watched but that is exactly what makes this drama enjoyable. It’s like you and the drama are connected thru telepathy or sum shi cause u know damn well what's gonna happen next but even after having this massive juicy brain and knowing what’s gonna happen, you just can’t help but to continue watching. You start to crave the dramas’ happy moments, heartwarming moments, and even the most painful and heart wrenching moments. This drama might not really spark your interest because of the plot's clicheness and I totally 100% get that. But what separates a shitty cliche drama to a successful cliche drama is how its able to evoke the audiences’ emotions. I can’t even believe I'm saying this but yea even during their happy moments I cried. During their painful moments I even uGLY CRIED. I’m already ugly enough and I mf ugly cried. That’s when you know it's good. Now speaking of the og “You are my Destiny” dramas. I only watched the Taiwanese version and not the other 3 adaptations so idk if my opinion is valid here. Compared to the Taiwanese version the Chinese adaptation was less painful to watch. Now that I look back at it Taiwanese ML was such a scum, he literally belonged to the streets but my 10 year old self couldn’t even comprehend that. But because ML was such an a$$ (more than Chinese ML could ever be) that was what made the Taiwanese version even more heart wrenching and emotional and that is why those who have watched the Taiwanese version are so emotionally attached to it (yea im calling u out) and thats why SO many people are complaining about the Chinese version not standing out/boring. In addition bruh, when you repeatedly watch 4 adaptations of the SAME plot with the same characters you are bound to feel uninterested with a 5th adaptation. It is literally like same essay different font.

The Chinese version definitely exceeded my expectations. From the high quality production to the ost (吾爱无爱 - Ann 白安 OST fav omg), to the chemistry between the actors, everything was so well done even when given this type of plot. This drama really showed us how girls tend to fall faster while boys fall harder. It did a really good job in showing genuine warmth, love and pain and how these feelings could exist, not in a 3 year relationship but in just a 4 month relationship. How even a ‘sticky note’ can grow into someone full of confidence, someone who recognizes their self worth all while trying to obtain their fair share of happiness. Hmm this Snail is surprisingly fast. Catch up lizard :)

I STG YALL HAVE TO WATCH THIS. I WOULD REWATCH THIS SHIT 10X IF I HAD THE TIME. I’m a drama typa bitch and I normally don’t watch movies especially kmovies and I was putting this movie off for so long until now. LMAO I REGRET CAUSE I WAS LAUGHING THE WHOLE TIME AND TRUST ME IF U LIKE SATISFYING FIGHTING SCENES THEN DIS THE MOVIE FOR U. THE SLAPS DEADASS SOUND LIKE ASMR TO MY EARS I CANT- and I honestly love how light hearted and funny this movie was it’s perfect for anyone who wants a good laugh and also lowkey a life lesson.
Ik a lot of ppl would be hesitant to watch this since there’s this whole stereotype that “idols can’t act” but sHIT YALL GON BE PROVED WRONG CAUSE JINYOUNG’S ACTING WAS MF AMAZING. He portrayed his role as a highschool student and as a gangster boss perfectly.
Jinyoung and Park Sun Woong made the soul swapping so realistic and believable I was deadass shook. So noah fence if they were replaced this movie would’ve been a flop no tea no shade.
So yea watch The Dude In Me guys! :)
