I Will Never Let You Go (2019)

So you have been looking for a good drama to watch? Well this is a drama that you must watch and I will tell you my opinion why I decided to give it a try.

*First of all, for me in order to decide to watch a certain drama first I have to like the leads, or at least like one of them.. So for this drama, I liked both leads =) Ariel Lin and Zhang Bin Bin... You can find their chemistry is perfect, I have always thought only he can have chemistry with Dilraba, but no, he also has chemistry with Ariel, and is soo good =) ( i´m smiling lol )

*Second, this is the kind of story that you keep thinking for the rest of the day, you know what I mean.? Like the acting is so real, their feelings are so real, that you as a watcher, you get inside the drama. you feel like you feel what the Main Lead Girl ( BU QI) is feeling, or you feel how the Main Lead ( CHEN YU/ LIAN YI KE) is feeling and you can understand the situation he is going through or why he had to take that decision... it´s so good =D

*Third, the story is great, at the beggining is a little bit of violent, but thats just for like 8 minutes, after that... the story begins with an optimistic and happy little girl, and her uncle, they are both beggars.. I don´t know, but I haven´t watch any other story where the main girl is a beggar, so that´s why this fact was really interesting for me.. So then you keep watching, and you wonder where is the guy..? well then comes the guy, by minute 17 of the first episode! And then a few minutes later we have a fight and appears a mysterious hero saving the beggar girl.. =) All this on the first episode.. really, this is soo soo good.. =D I don´t think I will find any other good drama this year except ths one... anyway

Overall, all the supporting actors are really good, I mean you like them, even you also hate the evildoers, so that means that their acting is good! =P Because the story is soo good, you follow the story, because is so easy to do it.. you are not frustrated like with other dramas, and you are wondering, why this character is doing this? But no, this doesn´t happen here, trust me..

***The clothing and costumes they use are nice and fashionable, not like other historical dramas, that the costumes are really ugly... I like their hairstyle, even their make up. .especially i liked zhang bin bin´s make up =)
***For my taste, I think the martial arts and violence is alright, is not so much.
**** I´m currently on ep 24... This show is still airing, I´m really enjoying it, and I honestly want to try to watch other show while waiting for the subs, but I just can´t, I kept going back to episodes, or looking for spoilers =P
So if you really want to watch a good show, give this one a try, you can find a strong female lead( Ariel Lin/ Hua Bu Qi) who is just adorable and charming but also determined you can see her cry but you won´t see her broken, and the main guy lead ( our Zhang Bin Bin) also is a strong character, that is not so easily manipulated.. He is also determined, funny, serious, smart, a Heir Prince ? =)
Anyway, I will continueto watch it, and I will leave this here if you want to give it a try... this is only my opinion, I haven`t liked a show so much this much in a long time, so i want to write a bit.

Regards!

I really love the whole mysterious masked guy meets heroine thing. But what I really love the most is that in this drama almost all the females know how to stand up for themselves, which is a nice change-up from the 'I am weak, fragile and cute with a high pitchy voice'. Our main actress is smart, but not in a way it's irritating.

The male lead is eyecandy and also knows how to work the subtle facial expressions in 'poker face' situations. He is very quick in analysing situations and jumps to the right conclusions. His deductive skills are amazing.

I'll have to admit: something about Ariel Lin's face just really irritates me. I think it's her upper lip or something. HOWEVER, the story was so good I stayed and after 15 episodes or so- they let down her hair. AH, that was so much better.

*EDIT*
I'm now at episode 27 and have lost interest. It's become really boring and I'm planning on dropping it if something interesting doesn't happen soon.

From the beginning, the series seemed to me very similar to many others I've watched. However, it had no effect on the person's well-being. I had a great time with him. At times tedious, but I wouldn't want to give it up. From the very beginning each of us could have guessed who the Lotus Knight is, but it didn't stop me from observing the well recorded battle scenes, skirmishes between enemies and acting Zhang Bin Bin. He is one of my favorite actors and this time I wasn't disappointed in him either. I love watching historical series with him in the lead or supporting role. What I liked most about the end of the show was the end of the show. A big thank you to the whole team for such a great ending.

It's a must watch drama!

This drama really made me liked the characters and acting of the casts. Everything was great, except for the ending. I didn't think that it was necessary for that kind of ending, it lacks transparency.

I really loved the music choice for the opening, ending, and every scene. It adds to the emotions conveyed by the actors/actresses everytime. I think the opening music is upbeat which makes me happy everytime I hear it. But I didn't like it whenever the scene after it is sad.

I extremely love the second male lead in this drama, I think he really made the drama stand out by their playful and interesting interaction with the female lead. He made me loved him more than the main male lead. Although I think both leads did a great job with their acting, I think it just made me have sympathy with the second lead more. I just love how the writers wrote his character, the drama was more fun with him in it.

Regarding the ending, I think it lacks transparency. It wasn't explained how such ending happened. I can't spoil anyone here, but I think that the plot was well-written. I didn't even think that it would end like that. The sudden changes with the characters' feelings and desire was splendid. It showcased how people can be when they desire power and embraced their hatred to other people.

Overall, this drama is a must to be recommended to everyone. The casts, writers, director, and everyone that made contribution to the drama must be rewarded.

A very good plot and story with an exaggerated a little bit bad ending

I don't know why so many people rated it so low. It is very interesting, absorbing and exciting drama. Even it had 50 episode and I didn't like its ending but throughout the whole series, the story was so good that I watched it twice already. From the begining to the end I can't see any problem except for the last episode. Amasing plot, good costum, very well acting, a lot of good actors, so much chemistry, and very good music.
The only cons of this drama was its last episode. Even though some how it was counted as a happy ending (between ML and FL) but there were so many death at the end which some were really unnecessay among the important characters of the drama. Not mentioning the unnecessary scene for the fall of ML to then bring him back out of nowhere. So the only and only reason I won't give this drama 10 score is those death that were not really necessary and even were cause a break to the logic of this drama. Otherwise it is worth watching it and even the last episode don't make me regret it even a bit. Also, because it wasn't a bad ending for the Leads I've watched it twice.

Great start, but dwindles fast.

First of all I would like to note I love Zhang in this drama. His acting and his presence is absolutely great. This story has a great start w Buqi and uncle and then as it progressed it became very tedious and almost unbelievable. You are hoping the ML is not really falling in love with his sister. ......???? Not good. 🙄. Then finally it's clarified , but then many many EPS without Zhang n Buqi even together. I found myself not interested at all in the Dr. coming in and didn't even like his character. Not honorable and a Dr. ?? Boo. Not so believable and Buqi is not that gorgeous. Lol although I liked this actress immensely for her spirit and positive energy. If this has a bad ending as I'm not done I ll be quite disappointed because I think the writer or the series people took a bad turn in not doing justice to a story line that could have been super great. But I'm not into tragedy and overly romantic downers in my dramas. Give me a great ending especially if I m watching through more than 30 episodes... its like killing the dog in the end. 🤨 ANYWAY I will look to watch more of Zhang in his dramas and movies, etc. as I really like his acting. I m beginning to note a tedious drama line playing out regarding romance in some of these dramas and I just have to say don't wear me out or kill me over a simple romance. Lol. I love romance but if drug out to point of misery Im over it and looking for a new series before the present one ends if so tedious. Im not even sure I can get through this one now because if Buqi ends up w this Dr. I will be like well there ya go beggar child gets loser husband and didn't learn anything in life ... not even how to protect herself. Tragedy.
Will have to move on. I do like all the actors in this series. They are really good and Mo mom was very believable... bad mom .. lol .. 😅. Mo son was a big let down tho. Anyway over all I seeing a big benefit of shorter dramas like 30 EPS as storylines seem to be much tighter and genuine.

Don't know how people finished this

I believe that the story is good from what I've seen. It has an interesting plot and nice looking action scenes. The intercharacter relationships are interesting as well, and I really wanted to find out what happens to each of them, but somehow the show feels like a crawl. It's so slow that I find myself doing other things on my phone as I'm watching it, and I'm just waiting for it to move on all the time. Maybe I got spoiled after watching Mr. Queen, where there was NEVER a dull moment. Even Boys Over Flowers didn't get boring until it started doing constant stupid flashbacks. Anyway, I didn't feel like wasting 40 more hours on this, it just drags on and on.

Secara keseluruhan, ceritanya bagus. Tapi entah kena aku lebih suka Dong Fang Shi di banding Chen Yu ? Dong Fang Shi yang diperankan oleh Austin Lin Bo Hong lumayan cocok, sebenarnya dia lumayan ganteng juga. Akting nya bagus. Sepertinya aku mulai ngefans sama Austin ? Di drama ini, ada 2 pemeran tokoh yang aku perhatiin. Yang pertama adalah Austin Lin. Yang kedua adalah Xing En. Pas scene awal Xing En muncul, aku agak ambigu. Dia cewek apa cowok ya? Soalnya dia agak mirip cewek. Tapi dia cocok juga ambil peran cowok. Apalagi pas scene bertarung. Keren banget, ada aura gagah nya gitu ? Alhasil, diriku penasaran dan langsung searching. Ternyata dia cewek yang mendapat julukan "Handsome Women" Kocak ? Secara keseluruhan, akting semua aktor/aktris bagus. Mungkin lain kali, aku bakal nonton ulang lagi drama ini.

ERA MELHOR TER IDO VER O FILME DO PELÉ

Finalmente reservei um tempo para falar do drama que até agora, continua invicto no #1 de pior cdrama que vi. Gente eu ja vi drama ruim, mas esse aqui me decepcionou muito mais porque eu estava cheia de expectativas.

Enredo: Até tem uma ideia boa, mas claramente ouve um um momento em que os roteiristas cansaram de escrever e passaram a função pros estagiários. Não há história para 51 eps. Se você enxugar esse drama, você conseguirá 35 episódios na marra. A trama até o ep 18 segue num ritmo bom, com mistérios que segurando a história, mas a partir do 19, o foco muda, e nós simplesmente temos todas as respostas que nos faziam querer ver o drama, e do ep 20 ao 51, é um looping eterno de vilão caçando a protagonista, protagonista fugindo o vilão, vilão capturando a protagonista, moçinho salvando a protagonista. Uma sequência enfadonha de tentativas de alívios cômicos que não dão em nada. Uma forçação de barra em cima de um casal sem carisma, e todo o restante do elenco esquecidos no churrasco.
Um final medíocre, com direito a chacina de personagens apenas para dar um fim na história, inclusive do moçinho e uma volta inexplicada dele. Um final feliz tirado do cú.

Personagens: Ariel Lin teve um fanservice. E teve de forma escrachada porque sua personagem era extremamente chata e insosa. Começou o drama prometendo "uma expert", mas terminou sendo a princesa na torre do castelo. Passou 30 eps comendo, falando de dinheiro, dando chilique e fugindo do vilão. Hua Buqi ficou extremamente burra depois de deu a bu**ta. Burra no nível de dar dó. Eu não tenho paciencia pra personagem que depende de macho pra sobreviver. Dava pro melhor heroi da cidade, e não aprendeu a empunhar uma espada pra se defender.
Não sei se ela é boa atriz ou não, mas sua Hua Buqi foi péssima. Não sinto vontade alguma de ver novos dramas com ela. Sem falar que a tentativa de abrilhantar sua personagem retirou o brilho dos outros. 0 química com o Binbin. Talvez, teria dado mais certo, se ela fosse o par do Austin Lin.

Binbin perdeu o brilho ao longos dos eps. Foi de herói mascarado à guarda costa de sua irritante namorada a qual tinha que salvar de 10 em 10 segundos. Acabou ficando cansativo. Depois do ep 20, as melhores cenas dele foram as que ele contracenava com a Tiara Huang, que alias, tiveram muita química. China, coloca eles de protas num drama e me chama pra ver o fogo no parquinho. No geral, Binbin pela primeira vez teve um personagem masculino honestíssimo, um verdadeiro herói, mas ser par de uma planta, tirou todo o seu mérito.

Elenco de apoio
Os arcos secundários poderiam ter salvo esse drama do fiasco que foi, porém, o fanservice em cima dos protagonistas, não permitiu isso. O risco de centralizar todo o drama em uma unica personagem tranformou esse drama numa sucessão de erros sem fim.
Os vilões de Autin Lin e Tiara Huang seguraram vários episódios. Especialmente a enfadonha sequência entre os eps 33 a 38. Sinceramente, eu torcia pra que eles matassem a protagonista e dessem outro rumo ao drama.
Casais secundários? Não tem. Quer dizer, insinuaram que teriam. O drama teve a pachorra de apresentar 2 casais secundários, e não desenvolver nenhum. No fim, mataram todo mundo.
Yishan: Guardei o pior para o final.
O drama teve a personagem Mo Ruofei que foi simplesmente incônica. Praticamente uma das únicas coisas boas desse drama. Mo Ruofei era o tipo de personagem que intrigava, que gerava duvidas e dividia opiniões. Simplesmente esqueçeram essa personagem por 36 episódios e lembraram dela nos episódios finais, transformaram ela em mulher do nada, deram uma explicação meia boca e a fizeram morrer como uma vaca traidora.
Quando eu olho pro arco da Yishan, eu consigo ESCREVER UMA FANFIC INTEIRA SÓ com o fato de ela ser uma garota disfarçada de homem que é porralhuda, inteligente e sagaz. Mas, os roteiristas desmereçeram tudo isso nela, e deram um final penoso.

No final, mataram todo o elenco de apoio. Todo mundo bateu a caçuleta (sem necessidade), numa tentativa desesperada de dramatizar. Haja sangue de mentira e vala pra enterrar bons personagens jogados no limbo.

Foram 51 horas da minha vida que não voltaram. Horas perdidas. Eu vi coisas que não posso desver.
Cheguei a conclusão de que os únicos que estavam empenhados em fazer desse drama um hino, foram os caras da OST. Mas dá uma pena, músicas tão lindas num drama tão mequetrefe.

Recomendo: Não.

Per chi ama Zhang Binbin

Finalmente un drama dove Zhang Binbin esprime tutta la sua solarità.
Credo di averlo già detto che per me questo ragazzo rappresenta il sorriso più bello di Cina.
L'ho conosciuto con Love O2O, apprezzato con Eternal Love, messo a riposo con The flame's daughter.
E finalmente un drama tutto suo, dove sorride, ama, si diverte. L'ho guardato con leggerezza e spensieratezza. Ho adorato Ariel Lin e per nulla notato la differenza di età.
Il cast non può che considerarsi eccezionale.
La storia è carina, classica per un drama. Con un antagonista simpatico, il classico personaggio dei drama cattivo ma col cuore tenero innamorato della protagonista.
E la musica non può che prendere un bel 10 con la canzone di Joker Xue che ci accompagna ad ogni puntata.
