I JUST FALL IN LOVE
Fall in love taught to fall in love in this type of genre—the Republican era starring Oliver Chen, Zhang Jia Yi and Lin Yan Jun. Apparently, this is my first republican drama that I enjoyed the most. I just came across of this drama because of Lin Yan Jun since I am hooked by him in his other drama Crush. However, I ended up falling in love with Commander Tan Xuan Lin (Oliver Chen). I am not familiar with him but because of this I might ended up familiarizing about him. The elements of this drama match up perfectly. So I listed those things of what I like and what I dislike.
What I like:
1. The Cinematography— I ended up loving the 1926 Shanghai. The quality of the drama, the places, their dresses, the lives of people in that era and many more are definitely established and showcased in the drama as if it was shoot during that time.
2. The characters — For me there is no single annoying characters. I like how they portray their own role. My favourite character is Tan Xuan Lin, from being witty to charismatic commander Tan. I like the way he give emotions to every scenario he has in. Also Mu WanQing , being the smartest female lead. I am not gonna say that I hate cute, dummy and clumsY female lead in cdrama land because thats the idea of fl I always seen in Cdramas but Mu WanQing is far from the opposite. She is strong, smart and independent FL in the drama that I totally admire. Lin Yan Jun's character, he is so handsome that cold Lin YanJun I know is back in this drama 😂😂 but one thing that I am bothered about is that he is overdubbed. I don't know the other characters but I am familiar with his nice voice so I am quite disappointed. The other side characters and the secondary couple is so cute ( Tan Xuan Lin's sister 😂😂 courting is an epic as she is with Pei Shao Jun ). The villain of the drama are praiseworthy. They made the drama more interesting.
3. The Plot— everything about the drama is beautiful. They put some funny elements to make the drama beautiful and artistic. I picked the drama on time ( about 32 episodes release) so I don't wait in vain.
4. The fight scenes— the fight scenes is very applausable. The camera tricks are doing pretty good job so viewers will make believe the intense scene is true.
5. The Ending — what makes the story beautiful is they make the drama a happy ending which many viewers are doting for. I personally love the ending as they resolve their conflicts smoothly and all the families reunite in one goal.
What I dislike
1. Gu Yue Shuang — I don't know why I am so disappointed how the writers abruptly made the decision of killing her in mid episodes. As I am loving her character romance with Junior Marshall Su.
I guessed that is my only concern lol
My personal rating would be 8.5.
