Lucky's First Love (2019)

" The world owes me a first love " was pretty cute.

The couple was adorable and I especially loved the leading lady. She wasn't the typical naive, young and cute girl who is overhyped and childish. On the contrary, she was strong willed and she wasn't intimidated by her boss. I also liked how she took care of him, as he was hopeless sometimes, or let him take care of her. That said, their dynamics were great and they had tons of chemistry. However, a small note about the leading lady's hair : why did she had to wear a wig??? It was okay at first, but it was noticable later on, as they were trying to pull off some other hairstyles. I mean, it wasn't a deal breaker, but it was kind of silly and messed with the aesthetics, as the actress was really pretty. The love triangle was also a bit annoying, as the second lead was, lets say, not a nice guy. And the girl didn't really want him. The second couple though was cute. Finally, the performances were great.

So, overall, seven out of ten. The drama was cute and had a fluff, light story, however, towards the end, it was a bit tiring, but only at the final episodes.

Draggy at the start, but super sweet near the end.

I feel like this drama could have been so much more if they cut some scenes at the beginning, I'd say the romance and drama really, really starts at episode 15. Prior to that, it's little sneak peeks but I didn't like that the focus was not on the main 2 leads. Thus, the rewatch value rating is quite low because of the front portions of the drama. I get that they want to develop a universe of interrelated characters, but making the viewer wait till episode 15 feels a little much.

Overall, the tone is light and fluffy, some parts humorous, as with most office romance dramas. I liked Xia Ke's character but I did think they did Bai Lu dirty with the hairdo they gave her throughout the show. I would have given this ONE watch but I definitely won't watch again. Overall, if you're looking for a filler drama without much intensity, this could be it.

I love the happy ending, but this is another of the same as many dramas with this boyfriend, that girlfriend in numbers to break up the original couple. The last ex-girlfriend was not necessary. I still rated it a 9 because the cast did a great job. I love Bai Lu in everything she does. She is lovable! This is also known as "The World Owes Me A First Love" on Viki-Rakuten. I noticed that in most dramas, the screenwriters always do a rival scene with a female vs another female or vice versa. I guess that's how screenwriters see love. Thank you to all the actors and actresses and the team. That includes hair dressers, costume design, set design, etc.

This was a very cute, sweet and uncomplicated drama. The story was extremely easy to follow with no major issue lasting more than three episodes. I actually believe that this story had so many parts that I don’t really think was necessary for the development of the story, but it is what it is. The idea of Xing Yin needing to experience romance in order to do these game instances was comical to me. My favorite moments were when Xing Yun would scold Xia Ke about how as a couple they shouldn’t keep secrets and communicate with each. I feel like the last four episodes were a bit unnecessary and the issue of the investment was very drawn out. Matter of fact, I know I don’t know much about business, but like he’s filthy fucking rich as we are told in the later episodes, could he not invest his own money?

Story aside, we had a range of typical characters, but we had a cast that did wonderful in making you enjoy each of them. I admit that this is my second time seeing Zhao Lin, but I don’t have much comparison because in the drama I first saw him in, his character was very similar. However, Xia Ke, as stubborn and egotistical and patriarchal as he was, still had his cute moments; namely whenever he was around Xing Yun. Xing Yun, was a sweet, headstrong woman and I didn’t find her irritating at all. Well actually that one time she tried that self-sacrificing and fake dating bullshit. I thought his sister was sweet and the actress reminds me of Bai Bai He and I think they should be sisters in a drama. He Yu was kinda annoying if I’m being honest, but still cute. I LOVED Yao Qing!! I loved that she was this bad ass bitch and she knew her worth and what she stood for and that even though she love Xia Ke, she never tried any dirty underhand means to get him. I also liked Xing Yun’s female coworkers because I adore female friendships. I liked that they played a sort of devil and angel roles in offering advice to her.

Highlight of the drama was the romance. We had Shen Qing/Chu Nan, Yao Qing/He Yu, and Xing Yun/Xia Ke. I didn’t really care much about Shen Qing and Chu Nan’s because like Chu Nan treated Xing Yun as shit and I don’t play that so..NEXT. Which brings us to Yao Qing and He Yu! Like I said, I found Yao Qing, extremely likable and to be honest, I saw her and He Yu becoming a thing, happening from a mile away. Seriously what is is with cdramas and having the second leads suddenly fall in love with each other? Anyways, I didn’t think they were necessarily believable as a couple and probably would’ve been more charming had they gone the “let’s just hook up continuously and see what happens” route vs He Yu suddenly loving her. Yea Yea, apparently he just never noticed until they hooked up. Whatever. Moving on to XIA KE AND XING YUN. I’m going to be honest, I enjoyed them a lot and they’re literally the sole reason I will likely rewatch this drama. I like that we saw how much Xing Yun had changed Xia Ke. I appreciated their cute moments. And even when they got together, I wasn’t bored and thank God we didn’t have them break up from a stupid misunderstanding because lord knows there were a lot of them. My heart almost dropped when I saw her about to walk away with the cat incident, but when she turned around and took the keys!!! SLAY QUEEN!!! It’s a good thing that Xing Yun is so loyal and also a petty queen. We HAD TO STAN. The only thing I really disliked about the romance other than Bai Lu’s crappy wig, was them having a joint wedding with Yao Qing and He Yu. I WOULD LITERALLY NEVER. I DON’T CARE THAT SHE MADE AN OATH IN THE TEMPLE. FUCK THAT NOISE. OVER MY DEAD BODY.

So anyways, if you’re in the mood for something sweet, nonsensical, light. fluffy and binge-worthy then give this a go. I genuinely would recommend this as a pick me up after watching anything very angsty or if you’re in the mood for romance. If nothing else, you will definitely stick around for the kisses and skinship! Hehehhe.

One of the best dramas i've ever seen. As usual, Zhao Lin fits perfect. The story is quite basic, love between CEO and employee. Not so much to talk about it. I loved the fact that the story at the beginning wasn't so concentrated on Xing Yun and Xia Ke , because i really feel that there was no line between them if wouldn't happened all the things with Xia Ke's sister.
Also, i didn't get angry with this mini love triangle between Xia Ke, Xing Yun and He Yu. I actually felt really bad when she "broke-up" with He Yu. So far, this is the only drama that i did't get angry with love triangle. Also, i didn't feel very well with He Yu and Yao Qing. Don't get me wrong, i really love them together, but they jumped and realised their feelings for each other after all the things with Xing Yun too quickly and too late, because they knew each other for a long time. I didn't feel their chimistry, but He Yu deserved such a good ending, even though there were no chimistry.

I watched it originally for Bai Lu after seeing her in legends and arsenal military academy but aso fell in love with Xing Zhaolin in the process, this CP has grewat chemistry throughout and moments that will make the butterflies go. I do think the story starts off slow with the main leads though, its more of a focus of the relationships of the supporting cast with the leads rather than it being completly their story. After episode 13 however its a lot better since the other actors story is done.

Bai Lu's character may seem aloof and a bit ditsy at first but when it came to love, she's brave and not afraid to be herself or say things that in most other dramas they wouldn't say because it might hurt the other persons feelings so i really like her character.

Xing Zhaolins character is a typical rich CEO as you would see in most dramas, he is stoic, considerate and cute, and totally unapologetic when it comes to getting his girl even if its his mates 'gf' - but i don't mind that in this instance because I wanted the main leads to come together.

Bai Lu so pretty even though she is wearing a wig.
She looks better here compare to My Dear King she looks so thin there.
If you are looking for light and cute drama look no further this is it!
Chemistry overload
Lots of Kisses hmm I think Bai Lu is a better kisser than him lol

Disliked: It went a bit draggy with the business thing but you can fast forward it.
Wish they had more getting to know/cringy moments while dating. Same goes to the second leads
Was a happy ending but I want to see more...
Is it just me? Hmm
all in all I LOVED IT!!!

So many twists and turns but so adorable

I absolutely adored this series. I was super worried that they threw so many speed bumps at the leads. Still I loved how strong and confident the female lead was from the start. She knew her own feelings, was not going to change herself for anyone. While she did stumble and doubt herself from time to time, she did not let the love rival win when she tried to embarrass the female lead or to make her doubt in their relationship. The ending was fitting too since she did not just melt for a proposal, she wanted to make sure the male lead truly trusted and valued her as a partner before she said yes, which is all she ever wanted.
Amazing series and I really recommend it to everyone who want to watch something super cute and fun.

I usually have problems with Chinese dramas. For one, there are a lot of episodes so the plot can drag and the ending can be a piece of crap which is why is better to see the ending of the drama before deciding to waste your 24+ hours on it. I can say there's only been 2 Chinese dramas that I've enjoyed and that is Put Your Head On My Shoulder and Love O2O, however I can add this one to the list.

What I loved about this drama is the great chemistry between the leads. Although the confession took way too long, there was already a connection, a spark between the leads in the first episode. These two made the drama so enjoyable. I also like the friendship in this drama. I mean literally even the characters with non-speaking roles were so supportive of every character. The female lead's character seems kinda foolish at first but her character develops toward the end being a strong female lead character which is great. She's not a pushover towards the 2nd half of the drama.

What I hated about this drama was the fact they had the nerve to throw 2 girls to win's the male lead's heart apart from the female lead. This was stupid especially showing the 2nd girl at the last 4 episodes of this drama. What was the point in that? Very stupid. The first girl wasn't as annoying or frustrating as she didn't seem to have any bad intention to the female lead but the 2nd one seems like pure evil, doing anything she can to win back the male lead's heart. Good thing there weren't more episodes because this could've turned bad but didn't.

Also the drama was supposed to focus on 3 couples as stated in the description plot but it wasn't evenly distributed. Almost the first half of this drama focus on 1 couple (not even the main leads). Once that was resolved, then they focused on the main leads relationship, with the last 4 to 7 episodes focusing on couple #3 (second leads getting together).

I've seen bad Chinese dramas but this one was pretty decent. Not the best but certainly not the worst. Definitely would recommend this one if you haven't seen it yet.

Warning: I am writing this review at 2am after just finishing the drama so my thoughts are all over the place. Read at your own discretion.

This drama, despite not being very plot-driven, was very addicting. At first, I wasn't the biggest fan of Xing Yun (especially the horrible wig and hairstyle they gave her character....), but over time, I fell in love with all the characters, especially Xing Yun, who was strong and trusted Xia Ke, unlike other female leads I have seen. I love the aspect of having three different couples, all with different circumstances, but all very adorable. I would've liked for them to keep us updated with Chu Nan and Shen Qing's relationship, which I found super super adorable, but felt that they got shoved aside after the first ten episodes. Yao Qing and He Yu were also a tad rushed. Xia Ke and Xing Yun were so flipping adorable, and while there was an abundance of cute scenes, I did feel that they did not have as much chemistry as other couples I've seen. So many eye-candies!!!!

The plot is nothing too new. Typical CEO and office worker relationship and storyline. I liked how both leads eventually came to realize their love for one another, and even though it took them 3247239847 years to get together, it felt like a very natural progression. The plot picked up quite quickly, but unfortunately, there were also typical annoying drama tropes thrown in within the last episode (annoying ex-girlfriend, poor communication skills b/w the main couple, family business conflicts, etc.).

I'm overall satisfied with the ending and left the drama smiling. Actually, I was probably smiling through 95% of this drama, it was just so lighthearted and adorable.

I would definitely give this a go if you like cute and lighthearted dramas. I was looking for something to mend the hole left in my heart from Put Your Head on my Shoulders, and I think this did the trick!! <3 <3 <3

The story flows like water!!! MUST WATCH

This series was pretty refreshing. Not new in the storyline but yet felt good while watching. I finished it in 2 days and didn't even notice how time flew.

Well, Bai Lu is a very beautiful, talented actress. But the major eyesore was her hair do in the entire series. I don't know whether it was a wig or her real hair but it made her look super ugly. The hairstylist kept the same hair do for their wedding as well.....arrggghhhh..... I mean even Amy, secretary of the ML was so well dressed and groomed but the actress... i felt bad for the her...Throughout the show it was like a giant OCTOPUS sitting on her head...ML was brilliant, he carried the CEO aura throughout.
The kissing scenes were steaming hwattt....

All other cast did justice to their rolls. Overall its a good show, people can definitely spent some 24 odd hours to watch it.

Cute female lead; Adorable Couple

I did not expect to enjoy this drama this much! It’s an easy watch. The plot moves along fast enough. As always, there are annoying moments because it is a *drama* after all. What’s a drama without drama? However, the irksome moments aren’t that many. Thank goodness.

Watch because:
- female lead grows on you - she’s cute and likable.
- male lead is tall, manly and handsome enough.
- the male and female lead have good chemistry and look good on the screen together.
- steamy kisses.
- true love - male and female lead truly love each other (in the show but of course).
- not that many scheming people.

Overall, an easy watch that moves along fast enough and has a happy ending! I love happy endings! Go for it!
