Yue ding qi jian ai shang ni

My all-time favorite modern drama i love it.

I've seen a lot of dramas that I like, but that's the best for me so far, I could watch it over and over again.

But it was too unnecessarily emotionally extreme by the end of the series. I really enjoyed the story from the start with their background history and the growth of their love after marrying. About 3/4 through the series, I had lost all interest though. The writers made Su Jian'an's character too obnoxious and selfish to tolerate for me. While I understand the desire to be independent and work towards your dream, alienating your supporters to that extreme was too much. Even the unrelenting behaviour of the antagonist Han Ruo Xi was way over the top and had me saying, "Enough already!" 🙄 Ming Ren and Bernard He were great in their roles though. They stood out more than the rest of the cast.

All-in-all, the series had potential, but definitely ran out of steam for me by the end unfortunately.

This show is basically a stereotypical C-Drama, featuring all the usual characters, cliches and plot devices that genre entails, BUT with with significantly less baggage and a lot more PDA. So if you go for classic Asian RomComs, but often wish they'd hurry up and get to the "good stuff" or that the kisses would last more than 2 seconds, you're in luck with this film!

As may be expected of a recent production, this show is technically sound and the acting is better than decent, delivered by a beautiful cast of young/fresh faces. And although there wasn't much that stood out about it, it was still entertaining enough (though it certainly helped that it was limited to a comparatively short 24 episodes). Also of note is that when the conflict and angst inevitably made an appearance, it seemed totally understandable, rather than contrived/unnecessary.

In short, if you want something "fresh" or "unique," this probably won't be your cup of tea. But if you are in the mood for some classic C-Drama fluff with an old school fairytale ending, which doesn't skimp on romantic payoff, this one is worth your consideration. Highly Recommended!

ROMANCE RATING: * * * 9.5/10. The romance in this film starts slow, but once it gets rolling (at about the halfway mark), the physical contact steadily increases in both frequency and substance. With 10+ kiss scenes as well as 3+ bedroom scenes, even the most demanding romance addicts won't go thirsty.

I did deduct half a star because while there was plenty of hands-on romance in terms of quantity, I still felt it lacked something in terms of quality (most of the kisses seemed rather tentative to me). However, that is a minor complaint and basically boils down to personal preference.

It's sad to say but both this leading role characters have played well in other movies but in this series together, there was no chemistry at all it felt like the the main girl was being forced to be close to the main guy. Although the main guy tired to bring out his role, the girl failed him totally, she was so stiff even for the C-drama series.

But characters who played as their friends actually acted so much better and you would feel the togetherness.
