Beautiful , fast paced

I liked the story and the chemical between the characters. It is romantic and has many kissing scenes. I like that the girl is also independent and successful by herself. Also the 2 secondary couples are cute. Women are independent and at the same time they can show love. The same for the male lead and the secondary male actors. I would recommend this drama for those who like fast paced and romantic dramas. I enjoyed watching this couple becoming entangled in the beginning and then suffered when they separareted for a while...

Amazing story

I really love this story. I also recommended this story to my best friend. I really enjoyed reading your insights and the way you presented your ideas was clear and engaging. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective with us.
In my opinion this story for new generation.
Usually I never comment on any drama but this is so convincing that I never stop myself to say something about it. You’re doing a great job. Keep it up. This is really amazing. In the enchanting world crafted by the author, "Whispers of Eternity" unfolds as a mesmerizing tapestry of emotions and vivid imagery. The characters breathe life into the narrative, their complexities skillfully explored. The prose is a symphony of eloquence, seamlessly blending poignancy and wit. The pacing, a delicate dance, keeps readers eagerly turning pages. Themes of love, loss, and resilience are interwoven with a touch of magic, adding a mystical allure. While the climax is both heart-wrenching and triumphant, the denouement lingers, leaving a bittersweet aftertaste. "Whispers of Eternity" is a literary gem, a testament to the author's mastery in storytelling. Each page is a brushstroke, painting a canvas of emotions that resonate long after the final chapter.

perfect

I think after watching so many k-dramas, c-dramas, I feel this was pretty good one for 2023, as I think the story line is as simple as our life, we general humans make mistakes and regret. According to me not all people are able to express themselves clearly this is the same case as FL. I loved the quality, ups and down and flow of characters. In real life a company owner never marries an average girl or a rich working women never marries a simple boy. this is just our imagination, lets enjoy it.

Typical

Nothing new here. Same ole C-drama template filled with 'popular' Chinese actors/actresses. When will the Chinese realize that having a popular star doesn't make a drama good? Don't let the fans dictate your agenda! I'd rather have an original and interesting plot than a 'top' cast because an actor/actress, like a NFL quarterback, can't win the game when the playbook stinks and the coach doesn't give good direction. I'm beyond the stage in my life where I just want to see my favorite pretty boy (or girl); I want sustenance, I want creativity, I want originality. If that means reducing the number of episodes, so be it! I've always preferred movies to soap operas anyway. Ok, enough of a rant. I'm really starting to feel sorry (and embarrassed) for the Chinese when all they can produce is the same ole template filled with the latest and hottest stars. Just because an actor/actress has a hit drama doesn't mean they're right for every drama that shows up in their agency inbox. Yep, I'm talking to Dylan. Please, boy, get yourself a more selective agent before you ruin your career again. Or maybe you need a better director who can speak the language that brings out what we saw in LBFD. Pairing him with a popular actress doesn't guarantee success, and frankly, I was disappointed with Bai Lu's character as well so she didn't help him much. Well, anyway, that's all I'm saying. Please, I'm begging you, get rid of the C-drama Rom-Com template and write a new playbook.

Not Even Wang Hedi Could Save This Drama

And I tried to hold on and brave as many episodes as I could, waiting for the story to emerge and something to pique my interest. After 6 episodes, nothing. Time to go! The writing is AWFUL. The story is dull, uninteresting, and a total waste of time and money. The characters are unappealing and have zero charisma and chemistry. This failure is solely on the writers - if they had presented a story with characters worth watching, the actors might have been able to do a better job in portraying them and telling the story.

I'd watch Dylan Wang in anything - and I am usually a Bai Lu fan. However, these characters they were given to play were as dull as dishwater. Bai Lu's character was just about getting on my last nerve. The side characters were uninteresting and had such vapid personalities that they were not even worth investing time or energy in. There was zero romance in the air - not even attraction or initial chemistry (and I've seen Wang Hedi when there is chemistry, and Bai Lu as well). This drama was a dismal disappointment and from the responses I have read, I should have expected it, but I still held on to hopes because of the leads.

Again, even the biggest, brightest actors/actresses can't do much with a crappy script - and this one was probably one of the worst scripts I've seen.

Sorry not sorry

Ridiculous plots !!! Weird script !! Bad directing!!
Too much whitewashing effects !!
No offensive to all main actors !!
But script itself is so Cheap and doesn’t make sense, so A list actors should not take those kind of projects !!!

Dialogues are not well-connected, not constructive and not solid!!
Scripts writer just want to put only cheesy cliche’ plots.
Actors acting parts is nothing to be impressive.

Totally Ridiculous plots !!! Weird script !! Bad directing!!
Too much whitewashing effects !!
No offensive to all main actors !!

smile oriented show, feel good

This is one of those shows where you will smile at small moments, some leads playing hard to get and some pursuing them. to be honest story is almost non existent with a lot of skippable moments.
Real reason why I rate it so high is Qin Shi yue character which was one of the most lovable things I've watched in cdramas 😍.
overall a good watch for casuals. don't go with too much expectations and get ready to fall in love with ceo based drama. one important thing about this show is also how good they make everyone look.

Extremely boring. Nothing moves forward. Characters are superficial.

>> Plot:
It's the typical problem of Chinese rom-com series set in the contemporary era. The plot lacks substance. I've watched 5 episodes, and there's no significant progression. If you're considering starting this series, you can save yourself time by beginning at ep.6. Maybe you can start at ep.10 with no problem, but I'm not gonna be here to prove it as it wasted too much of my time already.

>> Character Design:
The main characters are superficial, lacking depth in their minds. For example, the FL is cheated by her bf, but after being caught and FL already prepared to break up with him, it's apparently him who suggests breaking up with the reason that he wants a rich gf instead of her. And FL is just whatever.

The issue here is twofold:
1) The boyfriend serves merely as a plot device for the FL. He's there just to portray one point of FL as a popular girl with a cool personality. This bf is a character that lacks meaning and is unnecessary to exist.
2) The FL character itself has no grasp of emotions. She just cooly sits and stands >> this point applies to the ML and 2nd ML characters as well. There's no depth of feeling in any of these characters. They just sit, stand, and act cool.

The lack of emotional depth and character analysis is the perilous point of no return for all of these characters. These characters are uninteresting and fail to evoke any genuine emotion. It's become even more problematic when these characters are not just random extras but the main roles.

>> Dialogue:
The dialogue is also unhelpful. What they talk are not interesting at all. They just say whatever without any meaningful contribution, and what is said does not help moving the plot forward.

----------------------------------------------

Added note: After being disappointed with this series and deciding to drop it, I consecutively started 'Twinkling Watermelon.' Wow... it grabbed my attention within 2 minutes. The dialogue moves the plot, and the opening scene introduces an interesting point in the story. The characters aren't ordinary, and even the way extras play feels like they actually have meaningful roles. Everyone feels real.

Rich CEO mindf**ks with flirty journalist

Headline says it all and it was cringey. The series will remind one of those online novels and old M&B pocket books with typical tropes involving domineering males and flirty females.

The high rating given by others is probably only because of who the main leads are and they just want to simp all over their favourite actors. Otherwise the series has felt draggy to me. Episodes focusing too much on office deals and what not which gave no value to the progression of the plot.

The title is "only for love" but it seems the Romance is kick-started because the FL wanted to seduce the ML for more juicy info related to her work. This should be retitled "work related seduction"

Strange but quite a good watch

This drama can basically be divided into three sections:
First section- episodes 1-9
This was bad.. the ML is your typical CEO, using his power to manipulate and mess with the FL’s career.
Second section- Epi 10-19
The storyline gets better, and now it’s clear the ML likes her, but I don’t understand why she’s hot & cold towards him? She will try to seduce him and when he tries to kiss her, she runs away? This whole vibe between them I found weird and strange, just couldn’t understand what the writers and producers were trying to achieve.
Third section- the rest of the episodes. So yes they get together, but they break up for about 5 episodes. Again, I couldn’t understand why, I mean yes the reason was because she used him for her revenge, but was it even that? I didn’t even get that in the beginning episodes. Maybe I missed it cos I did fast forward a bit here n there lol.

Anyhow, it’s not your typical romance relationship development, but the chemistry is pretty decent. Visuals of Dylan and Bailu are definitely on fire! I actually prefer the 2nd couple, but they didn’t have much screen time. 3rd couple was mediocre, boring development but Miles Wei was hot lol. Quite a few big stars in this drama, but I don’t think the storyline held up to expectations.

Should you watch? Yeah.. give it a go. Just keep an open mind and ff the boring bits ;)
