Amazing acting

First I want to that the FL is such an amazing actress. I mean truly.This series started out really well and progressed well toward the middle. The events, the acting, the chemistry were all great. It was truly heartfelt. My issue is as you get near the end of the series you experience the senseless push, pull. One runs away while the other chases. Then it switches around. By the end I was like “be together or just make a decision.” I loved the supporting cast their relationship really seemed to have more depth and let’s not forget that there was real growth with them.


What I like most was the acting and the plot was unique.

What I disliked was that they dragged the separation on so long between the leads. In addition to this our supporting cast seemed to get a better ending in terms of closure than the main leads.

Overall good series, I just really wish the ending was better. It was just too weak for such an emotional series.

WEIRD

Drama had a great starting and I was hooked but then a lot happened and in the very first few episodes Zhen Rong died and ever since it's just depressing and wholly business. Zhen Rong and Xiao Su had one of the best chemistry I've seen, it's simple yet sweet like a fairytale though had a tragic ending. Other lead was nice but he never seemt all that genuine to me and he wronged fl in more than one circumstances and even though story progressed and they fell in love it just felt weirdly out of place since he questioned her love for his brother over and over and used harsh words when she was barely surviving. Things like that stick by me and it's something I can never forget if happened to me so maybe that's why I don't like other lead. Forgiveness is great but forgetting isn't.
I only watched first 9 episodes without skipping then it was all just skipping. even if i rewatch this it'll only be for first 5 episodes. Rest just make me pissed off or make me bawl my eyes out.

This was my second time watching the shows ...

Watching this show for the first time, I somehow noticed that the actress portraying the supporting rule of
Zou Si Qi (Ai Ru) was annoying.
The second time I watched this show was that I cannot stand Zou Si Qi (Ai Ru) characters being portrayed as brusque, crusty manners and of course the boyfriend was treated like "I only need you because I needed your " ---!!?? : >
Zou Si Qi (Ai Ru) --- really, you can act better than that even though portraying as dominant characters!! omg, WHAT AN ANNOYING portrayal. I can't even fast forward whenever her scenes comes along, or I'll missed something relevant which I missed during my first viewing.
On you next shows Ai Ru please do your best and not act stupidly annoying.
As for the rest of casting, good job everyone, thanks you for this wonderful shows and by the way "Shawn Dou" --- oh myyyyyyyyyyy, hot!!! hot !!! hot!!! YOU ARE the "Carolina Reaper" as the hottest chili pepper in the world -- my hottest KING : )

I don`t really remember why i picked Tears in Heaven to watch, especially since i rarely watch chinese dramas. Must have been because of some intriguing videos on youtube and the alluring storyline that is a great potential of emotional angst i just craved. I have read great stuff about the novel this drama is adapted from, i made a research about the author Fei Wo Si Cun who is literally FAMOUS for her many angsty romances that got adapted into dramas like one of my favourites "Siege in Fog".

Watching the drama with its beautiful OST and memorable characters was a treat and the first 20 episodes were great. I loved the slow burn but intense love-story between Du Xiaosu & Lei Yuzheng. How they actually bonded because of their love for Zhen Rong who died so tragically. I feel like the main plot and focus was lost after Yuzheng got into jail in ep 21. I knew the writers shied away from the heavy angst that was in the novel and how deeply twisted and toxic main-leads relationship actually was, and how sad it actually became (as i have read some spoilers of the novel) but the saving grace was somehow the redemption of a villanious greedy character Lin Xiang Yuan who i actually came to ship with Fan Lu. They literally felt like a old couple still in love. This drama could have been sooooo much better without all the business politics and investigation that dominated for the entire other half od this drama. Felt like i was wasting so much time watching it. But i am glad i finished it. I think i will always remember Tears in Heaven for the melancholic and sad feeling it could give me sometimes.

Had me in the first half

Its been a while since i finished this show but, i just came across it again so i writing this review.
If you have ever seen the taiwanese drama love relativity, then you could possible like this. Thats what i thought. Im a fan of li qin and was excited for this show because the plot was so interesting, but as the show continued after zen rong died the story went down hill progressively. I though at some point it would get better but it didnt.
If you are okay with trash this is the one for you.

A crazy rollercoaster to emotions

This has spoilers as I needed to vent?
Just finished and it didn't disappoint completely. You do need tissues by you and I watched alone as I screamed at the TV alot lol. I feel if you lucky to get 2 true loves in one lifetime is just an amazing thing to see.
I found Leon Zhang character Dr. Shao zen rong in this drama to be cute, playful, living and romantic. Just wished he could of had more screen time rather than flashbacks. I enjoyed his romance with li Qin and all the fun they had together especially jumping off the roof, amusement park and hospital when she worked for the magazine. He couldn't wait to introduce her to his brother and when they finally meet Lei yu Zhen has a flashback of her drunk in the rain and feels she a gold digger. I was really disappointed when zen rong mother made them break up and didn't do or say anything to stop him from going abroad. He truly loved li Qin with all of his heart and how he secretly got the ring to propose and was buying a house. I'm glad she made it in time and that he was able to see her and the ring saying yes as he closed his eyes goodbye. Then comes in the brother Lei yu zheng who in a furry of hate pushes her away and tells her to get lost. As time goes by yu zheng is still furious with her and finds out she wants to buy there dream home. When it's time to buy the house he buys it so she can't have it and then they argue and he makes her work off ¥2million. So she finds a few higher paid part time jobs and he keeps running into her especially at the bars and has rescue her a few times and starts to soften up. A few day's later he finds her at the cemetery and he listen to her crying while apologizing to zen rong that she shouldnt have listen to his mother and broke up with him that way she should have fort for love. Now that yu zheng know what happened he desire to watch out and help her so he gets her an interm job with pay. Now we have to deal with the jeousley and spiteful Jiang fan lu long time family friend who think she gonna marry yu Zhen as her supervisor at work. Getting stressed and needs to getaway she see a picture of the kids at orphanage and calls to find out that zen rong was supposed to visit them. So not to disappoint them li qin asks yu zheng to take zen rong place since they never met him and gives him a boat ticket for the island. Once they arrive on the island the kids are there to welcome them with hugs and smiles them someone was having heart attack and turned to yu Zhen to help. Thank God he had some skill and was able to help and send him to hosp for proper help all tells director sun that zen rong died. While being with the kids gave them both different feelings of the other and there relationship starts to develop and thruout the drama they keep helping the orphanage and school. There relationship go thru so many levels of on/off non communication, misunderstanding, jeousley, getting sick physically and making. He wants to help and give her what ever she needs and she does not want his help or support, but she doesn't understand he feels helpless when she struggles. Then we have Lin xiang yuan who betrayed everyone , jeousley of yuzhen, Rich vs poor, undermining the power of business, sends yu Zhen to prison for something he didn't do and then later turns himself in as quily. Now that the company is back on track he offers her a big job again they argue she tell him to get lost and them she wins the young architect award for 1yr in paris. Now she is confused about if she can leave him or not as she truly loves him and doesn't want to lose him and then he appears in front of her. They talk and are both on the same level that he'll follow her or wait for her return. Then we have Si Qi who I thought at first was cute then realized she was so materialistic in so many levels of needing a house in order to get married. I felt so sorry for He qun Fei he was so cute and nieve, but would go to the end of the earth for si qi. She always wined about the house and money, but when out always made him buy expensive clothes, pocketbook, shoes even if he didn't have the money she always belittled him. Then he got the engagement ring that she wanted and he proposed and she rejected him again for the house again.
Shaungshaung is wealthy and a womenizer to all and gets siqi attention and buys all type of thing then sees him with other women and he tell her he'll never marry. Now during this qun Fei has started a different look on life and got a backbone so when siqi came running back he made her work for it. ?
That's it. So watch for all the other fill ins that are good

3 anos pra isso???

Texto extremamente longo!!!

Em primeiro lugar, eu ainda não terminei de assitir mas já sei que realmente esse é o pior dorama que vi no ano. Decide ver ele por estava esperando por ele 3 ANOS e não lançava nunca, estava também com vontade de ver um dorama grande.

Quero contestar o nome do dorama, " lágrimas no paraíso" oq eu menos vi são pessoas chorando e aquilo tá mais pra inferno. As únicas cenas boas são até o 6 episódio de restou só decai, pq colocaram o cara na capa se ele morre no começo e no fim ninguém lembra dele?

Terceiro, quero deixar aqui minha revolta com o protagonista, o Lei, que cara mais imaturo emocionalmente é esse? Não sabe valorizar as pessoas e até quando a pessoa está mal ele n tem coragem de soltar um " eu te amo", só ficava escorado na XiaoSu quando n tinha autoestima e n tinha forças pra continuar, depois ignora a garota e diz que é bom pra ela?? Em que mundo?

Quarto, a XiaoSu mesmo eu entendo ela ficar com raiva do Lei com bastante razão, ela sofre por ele e não fiz que o ama para ela mesma, ela tem ciúmes e não enxerga ele como " amor", fora que quando seu ex morreu ela ficou em uma depressão chata que me incomodava que ele não procurou UM PSICÓLOGO ou desabafou com alguém, ela não estava bem e ignorava isso, não é possível!!

Quinto, quero dar o palco para a Fanlyu que consegue ser uma personagem mais atrativa e madura que a principal, achei que ela era vilã mas ela é a maior vítima da história talvez. Ela foi babaca no dia da festa? Sim, mas acho tamanha maturidade dela se declarar para o Lei e entender que foi recusada, ela fez tamanha loucura em se casar, abortou, mas eu entendi super a depressão dela e fiquei super tocada com a sua situação, ela foi a que mais me passou sinceridade.

Acho estranho que eu gostei do Lin mesmo ele sendo vilão e mostrou se importar de verdade com a Fanlyu, eles são um pouco melhores que o casal.

Mas quem eu odeie de verdade nesse dorama foi a amiga da principal, menina chata do cão, grosseira, oportunista, dissimulada. Pior que ela só o He Qnfei, outro que eu daria um pau na cabeça.

N acho q esse dorama vale a pena.

Melodrama halfway, then heavy business plot till the end...

IMO, u could only enjoy this if u r a big fan of Shawn Dou or Li Qin, otherwise I’m sure u wouldn’t last till the end... the plot is just crazy, what an emotional rollercoaster!

What interested me at first:
- I like Shawn Dou, so I watched lots of his dramas, he always delivers in his acting, including in this no matter how rude n annoying his character is... he looks good n manly in almost everything, n that cute smile helped getting thru this mess... Li Qin is ok too... Leon Zhang had a presence, so eventhough he actually only played in the 1st 6eps, he was one of the factors that this drama was interesting at first...

- The chems between FL&ML is good... FL also had good chems with SML, so it was a lil bit of dilemma for me, but since he isn’t the ML anyway, i knew he wouldn’t last...

- Plotwise was enjoyable till halfway...

- How cute ML in the last few eps when he wanted to win FL back... i wish they had stayed on this path longer instead of the heavy business plot with the usual angsty misunderstandings...

What made me lost interest:
- Plotwise after ML was suddenly framed n sent to prison... he became such an annoying character, esp to FL... even after he was out of prison (honestly i’m not even sure how long he stayed there, this part I skipped a lot!)... anyway when he was out, he became an ass, even after everything she’s done for him&his dad...

- The push n pull between the leads was just an emotional rollercoaster after that halfway point... it’s like FL has a tendency towards emotional torture... like when he is at the bottom, she is there for him, taking care of his dad n stays with him no matter how harsh he acts towards her... but when he is finally better, being his oldself n nice to her, suddenly she has insecurity n thinks that they r from different worlds, so she avoids him... like what? why has she stayed then? only for the torture? They r adults n smart people, but somehow they don’t get the concept of communication... ??‍♀️

- The heavy business plot... there was almost no screentime together between the leads, again after that midway till almost the end... somehow to takeover the company, ML has to disappear n leave FL without explanation... why? Just tell her something... the miscommunication part is just so unnecessary, the typical “I want to protect u so i have to stay away from u“, but actually hurting her all the way... n this plot lasted more than 5eps near the end... n yes, they got back together only in the last eps, last scene to be exact! I hate when that happens... their friends got the happy ending (even the evil one), including the double wedding... while their ending is just a promise of staying together 4ever, a hug & a kiss in the beach... usually that’s enough, it’s just after all the tortures, it feels like they deserve a bit more than that... n IMO we as watchers deserve it too after that trainwreck!

- The side characters got too much screentime... like FL’s BFF & her BF, the ML’s assistant story, IMO their story isn’t that interesting... also the evil guy got too much screentime, n somehow after everything he’s done he kinda redeemed himself without punishment? n there r many unimportant characters in the mix, mostly for the business plot, so yeah, i don’t know most of them thx to my FFWD button... ?

Anyway, like I said before, only watch if u like one of the leads like a lot, or big chance u’d drop this fast... for me I stayed for Shawn Dou, n even then i skipped like a lot! Esp the prison part n the heavy business plot... so yeah, first halfway was really enjoyable, then it took a deep dive into a chaotic mess, almost like a point of no return... at least it’s a happy ending with a few cute moments towards the end, so there’s that...

Starting 10 episodes were good afterthat it was too melodramatic

I saw one scene in YouTube that increased interest to watch this drama. I watched this drama because of Shao Zen Rong and Li Qin 's cute love story . I really felt bad to see the death scene of Shao Zen Rong . That scene made me cry . The reason for which I decided to watch this drama it was gone after sixth episode but still I decided to watch this dram to know the story of one night stand because of which Shawn Dou always had bad impression of her and want to know wheather he came to know that why she left Shao Zen Rong but in whole drama these things were not mentioned . To endure this drama till end was time of waste . Both the main lead's character came
together at the very last scene of the last episode of the drama. Starting 6 episodes were good till the Shao Zen Rong character alive after that totally bore . Their paring looked too cute all the time when he slightly smile to see her . this character die without knowing the reason of breakup felt very bad to see this ,sometime we were involved ourself so much in the story of the drama that can't able to see the injustice with the character Lots of unnecessary scenes were there in th drama.
NOT LIKE MUCH

Tooooo irritating

Tooo irritating, too annoying. Even after seeing so much of negative reviews I decided to watch this drama because all are famous actors and it has 41 episodes thinking that who will invest this much for worst drama but I didn’t had any idea that this drama could be this much worst.
I think the director had no idea what he is directing. The characters are like they have multiple personality problem. In one scene they say something and in other scene they act exactly opposite to that. After watching complete drama I really don’t understand why the FL is keep on rejecting the ML and in final episode why she suddenly accepted him without any new reasons or changes in that situation.
Initially she decided to stay away from him because they are from different worlds, ok understandable but when ML is with his female friend she blamed him and wants to brake up him for bulshit reasons.
Again I am expressing the same thing, why only in Chinese dramas the ML characters have no self respect and are tooo shameless. According to me love requires respect, commitment, involvement and cherish from both partners. I don’t know why in Chinese dramas only ML acts like he can’t survive without her but the FL can easily get over and can happily lead her life without him. If you take this drama as example, at starting chasing her or giving more time for her is understandable because she lost her loved one needs more time to love someone again, but after she accepting him I don’t know why the ML should sacrifice his self respect and act shamelessly to Pursue her number of times for her bullshit meaningless misunderstandings.

Fastforward 70% of the time

First of all, I started watching this drama with pretty low expectations. Unpopular opinion: Shawn Dou is not exactly the greatest actor. He is handsome for sure but his acting has always been the similar character - capable, cool and popular among the ladies. I like Li Qin, though - the reason why I decided to give this drama a shot.

One word to describe the drama? Boring.

In fact, I quite enjoyed watching the chemistry between Shao Zen Rong and Du Xiao Su. Unfortunately, they killed him off too early. Then come Lei Yu Zheng and Du Xiao Su's love story development which is honestly very painful to watch. Du Xiao Su slowly became my least favourite character - unrealistically kind, constantly misunderstood, strong principles but weak execution. Surprise, surprise. Whenever she's in her weakest moments, Yu Zheng will be coincidentally there to witness.

To be blatantly honest, I would say the entire drama can be summed up in 4-5 episodes. Most parts are not even worth the screen time.

Very disappointed.

Os choros mais sinceros

O drama e realmente arrebatador.
Os momentos tanto de alegria quanto os de sofrimento foram muito bem colocados e nesses dois momentos quem assiste se emociona com tão profunda exibição e atuação de sentimentos.
Porém a muitos furos de assuntos que não foram tratados e isso faz com que não pontue com 10 estrelas. Faltam muitos diálogos mas como foi uma trama inspirada, paro por aqui com minha crítica e compreendo que o autor quis fazer referencias fortes ao trabalho original.

O drama mostra a jovem colunista cheia de vida e meiguices Du Xiao Su trabalhando em um furo jornalístico, correndo atrás de uma cebridade quando acontece um acidente automobilístico e sendo também fã da atriz se responsabiliza de socorre lá e acaba sendo levada para o hospital onde conhece o lindo doutor Shao Zhen Rong .
Entre sua recuperação e durante uma entrevista o médico e a colunista em meio a tantos eventos começam a namorar, mas a mãe de Shao Zhen Rong é contra o relacionamento deles, por coisas que aconteceram no passado amoroso que envolve o pai de Xiao Su. Nesse momento do drama ficou um vácuo de maior explicação, mostra o motivo em cenas que relembram o passado da mãe de Zhen Rong , mas depois dali não a um encontro de Xiao Su com o pai ou ligação para por o assunto em pratos limpos, ela simplesmente acata o pedido da mãe de Zhen Rong e faz um terrível término.
O medico fica muito abalado com o término sem explicação e a vida de Xiao Su se torna um inferno, porque o amigo de Zheng Rong , o Lei Yu Zheng como já havia deixado claro que se ela magoasse o amigo não deixaria passar impune. Muitas coisas acontecem até que o médico resolver ir em missão médica para dar assistência às pessoas nas montanhas, mas é enterrado em um deslizamento de terra. Esse episódio em particular trás muita comoção para todos ligados a Zheng Rong. A mãe dele fica em estado de profunda tristeza e a personagem fica apagada , não se toca mais no assunto e não a uma explicação maior de porque tanto zelo dos amigos um com o outro(mais uma questão não respondida).

Quase incapaz de lidar com a situação, Du Xiao Su se dedica completamente ao trabalho, a ponto de ser hospitalizada. Ela faz uma conficao sincera na lapede Shao Zhen Rong, muito emocional e arrependida de não ter tentado mais( realmente a atitude dela para alguém tão apaixonada foi questionável) de o amigo de Lei Yu Zheng, leva todas as suas ações a sério enquanto observa Du Xiao Su à distância.
Outro furo na história, foi depois disso tudo ela continuar trabalhando na empresa Lei Yu e ainda assim brigando com ele para ficar com o apartamento de Zheng Rong que daria a escritura para ela no dia do término.

Depois da prematura morte do médico, coisas sobre ele aparecem como o fato de ajudar ativamente crianças carentes em uma ilha remota e Xiao Su abraça a causa e começa a se envolver solidariamente fazendo não morrer o projeto. Ao meu ver faltou entra mais no assunto das crianças e faltou da parte do amigo transformar em algo mais significativo a ilha.
A empresa que Lei dirige ficou ainda mais sem desenvolvimento...não mostrou muito mais que tramas malvadas e fofocas, poderia ter sido melhor trabalhado os roteiros.

Depois daí tudo que se passa na trama me fez perder interesse.
Sinceramente achei um desserviço tudo que aconteceu, até mesmo pelo fato dela se envolver com outro cara em tão pouco tempo.



Se você não assistir tudo bem.
Estou procurando o livro que abra foi baseada para entender melhor sobre, caso mude de opinião após a pesquisa mais profunda vou atualizar a resenha.
