Not for everyone
Let me start with saying that this drama is obviously not for everyone. Why?First of all, it has no plot. All they showcase here is the love relationship, by the way only of the main couple; unfortunately we haven't seen so much of the second one, and only a bit of the third. This is something that I too disliked.
So I understand lots of users who said that it's a useless drama. However, from someone who loves this romance no-plot thing, let me tell you why we like watching it: it's easy. It's an easy getaway from real life, from a boring real life, and all we want to do is watch some people fall in love. No love triangles, no enemies, no adversities... Just pure love. And also a mature relationship!
Have you ever had one of those days when you get home from school/university/work and you just want to relax? Well, some of us prefer action, horror or fantasy movies or whatsoever – others prefer a no-plot romance. We just need to sit down with our snacks, and that is all. No braincells, no anxiety, no hatred for some characters that can't keep their toxic love for themselves... It's easy.
This is why I gave it an 8 for the story. Certainly not because of the plot ('cause there is none). I honestly think there should be more dramas like this one.
As for everything else, I don't think I need to explain. I gave an 8.5 for the acting, because it genuinely could've been better but also worse. I enjoyed it, sure, but it wasn't much. By the way, Hou Wen Yuan (Zhou Zheng/Juemei Shayi) deserves more recognition: bro is such a great actor! And he's handsome too! I hope to see him more in the future.
Well, regarding music I have nothing to say. As a musician myself, these soundtracks are perfect for the drama and the feelings portrayed. I loved «Return With You», and whatever song they performed altogether during the pageantry event – when Qiang Qingci finally says goodbye to the stage.
At the end, I gave an overrall of 8.5 with a rewatch value of 8 because I would rewatch it. That's it. Everyone has different opinions, as I could see from the comments, so don't come at me lol. I just think this is a good light romance drama, and since I appreciated it so much I'm sure I'll rewatch it.
It reminds me a lot of other dramas like «Put Your Head On My Shoulder», «My Little Happiness», «Once We Get Married», «Time Is Just Right With Him» or «When I Fly Towards You». Yes, some of them have more plot than others, but at the end of the day these are all light romance fictions. Peaceful and romantic.
P.S. The only kiss we got from Juemei and Xiaoxing was the only one that made me feel some type of way... The way he grabs the back of her head and turns her around while walking... yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Also, I liked the end with the voice actor that repeats the same words Qiang Qingci said upon meeting Shengshengman. It's cute.
Didn't like the fact that we still miss the encounter with the parents of both and a more detailed relationship between Fengyasong and Sister Doudou, though. Like, how did those two come together? I know that Fengyasong somehow proposed himself, but that is not enough. And let's not talk about that poor second couple, we don't even see the big revelation of love (rip).
I'm lowering the votes here. Still cute.

A really sweet and dramaless drama
It's been a while since I last watched a show so thoroughly, without feeling tempted to skip through some scenes to avoid the common misunderstandings and drama.This story It's truly dramaless and simple. The main couple is really sweet and cute, and their relationship starts really early on in the show, around ep 9, although we do take some time till there's actual progress between these two.
I would say this is a really slow burn romance, becausr even tho they start dating quite early into the story, they do take their time to get to know each other and fall truly in love while on a relationship already.
I'm glad to say this drama has no second bitchy female lead to stir up so drama... honestly, there's nothing at all and I guess that's why I did give it a 10/10 review.
Although the story is really enjoyed and pleasing to watch, it does feel a little bland at times.
The fact that this was a slow burn did frustrate me a little, I mean, they take around 17 episodes to hold hands, 19 to share their first kiss and then 30 episodes to share a kiss that lasts more the 3 seconds. The first forehead/goodbye kiss was on episode 31.... I thought their progress was a little too slow at time, although it was exciting nonetheless and they did get more affectionate by the end of the show (between episodes 29 and 33).
All in all, it's a really nice show to watch, get excited, feel bad about being single and just freak out at the little things lol I wouldn't rewatch it tho, but then again, I'm not really one to usually rewatch things.

Should've been shorter and sweeter
I have nothing against the actors, I've completed and loved them in their own dramas.Zhou Ye in Word of honor and Scent of time, Tan Jianci in Under The Skin and Lost you forever 1.
Zhou Ye's character in this, Gu Sheng, is a composor who covers and arranges classic Chinese style music, she also sings and does podcast type shows.
The main ship first meet when Gu Sheng is in her chatroom and Tan Jianci's character, Mo Qing Cheng suddenly comes in and his voice tells her a recipe.
They both have online secret identities they use to voice and sing stuff, so there's alot of secrecy and it's basically a cheesy secret identity trope.
I enjoyed it at first, it was light, quite low/nonexistent bad drama, plus they were sweet together.
One of the main things I started to dislike about this drama was I feel it could've been much shorter. With how the story was feeling to me they could've had less faff and forgettable scenes and gotten the important story done in less then half of the 33 episodes this drama has.
The length and what the drama actually has going doesn't draw me in enough to commit to watching it all in it's entirety.
Another thing was Mo Qing Cheng was such a busy character, it felt almost unrealistic how much he was managing to do. His almost constant smiling and just in general people pleasing vibe made him feel almost flat. Compared to Tan Jianci's others roles this was my least favourite.
By the time I'd finished episode 13 I was starting to lose interest, the relationship had gone into secret meetings and almost kissing but being interrupted, a trope I didn't think I hated but in this it all feels so plain and so slow yet not slowburn.
In conclusion this isn't the worst drama ever but in my opinion it's a bit of a nothing drama. Could also be called too much of not alot or enough.
Was funny and sweet for abit but I don't want to watch all 33 episodes of it being this flat.

Utterly Childish.
I only watched this because I really liked Tan Jianci in Lost You Forever. I wish I hadn't bothered. Absolutely ridiculous story. A doctor with so much time on his hands that he can do voice dubbing and seemingly take time off whenever he likes! Also, the main leads are supposed to be 29 and 22 years old, but after officially dating for weeks she's still afraid to apply anti-mosquito bite cream to his arm. Please!Now let's talk about the eating. The female lead is supposed to be a foodie. The male lead is also a first-class chef (as well as being a cardio doctor and a "god" of voice dubbing, so they eat, and eat, and eat. But she's still as skinnier than most cdrama stars are (and that's saying something) and never gains a kilo. The whole story is absolutely unbelievable. After LYF, I can't believe TJC would do something as awful as this.
Do not watch this series if you are older than 13.

OMG - Why the hell this drama was made. STUPID PLOT and Unrealistic. Grr........
"Love Me, Love My Voice" is a rom-com drama, but there was no drama. After I had invested my valuable time in watching 16 episodes, I decided to drop it and not waste any more of my time. I should have dropped it sooner, but I hoped it would improve because it is a slow burn. It turned out to be a big disappointment.Tan Jian Ci played a doctor, Mo Qing Cheng, but in real life, he is a voice teacher named Qiang Qing Ci. None of his students knows what he looks like in real life except for Gu Sheng/Sheng Sheng Man, a voice student played by Zhou Ye.
This drama is so stupid and unrealistic in so many ways:
1. Mo Qing Cheng is a surgeon busy with his medical career, but the drama does not show his job as a doctor.
2. Instead, it showed his hobbies as a voice teacher and a cook.
3. The whole annoying drama is about his voice career and eating.
4. I was not impressed with Zhou Ye's character and the actress who portrayed her.
5. The on-screen chemistry between the main CP was not great. I like the 2nd CP better.
6. There was no drama or conflict between the main CP, which is annoying.
7. Tian Jian Ci is too short as a male lead. I like him better in Lost You Forever.
Why does China even bother to make this kind of trashy drama? I give it a 4.5 rating because of the stupid and unrealistic plot.

If you love soft spoken people, this one’s for you!
Yesterday, I finish watching this drama. Let me tell you, it’s a masterpiece! I’m not really a fan of a modern drama because I usually watched historical Wuxia/ Xianxia/ Xianhua. For me, it’s very rare to binge watch a modern drama (I finished it within 2 days) and this one is epic! I would like to start with their voice.Their voice is so soothing in the ear! I might fall asleep when they’re talking to each other or singing. I love how soft he talks to her, they’re very passionate when it comes to their careers too. This drama is such a vibe!
Yes, a domineering boss is such a vibe, but this one? He’s such a lowkey person. But when it comes to her (fl) he is loving her loudly, even though he doesn’t want fans to know them (their relationship) because it may affect the girl as he is a renowned dubber.
A man who cooks will always have a special place for my heart. Also, I want to mention the second leads, Duo Bing jie and Fengyangsong (not sure if the names are correct) I love the so much! Thank you for ruining your friendship 😭🙏🏻 When I say I love them, I meant it. When they first appeared on the screen together, I knew something was going on!
Before I stop yapping about this drama, I just want to appreciate how this drama talks about historical instruments! Also, there’s no miscommunication in this couple! I LOVE THEM! no conflict between them and no antagonist, just friendship and good vibes. I love how their circle of friends doesn’t get jealous of someone else’s fame!

Lovey-Dovey Foodies with Chinoserie Songs in the Background
This is a slow paced, feel good drama with a high budget that paid for beautiful scenery, good camerawork and spectacular music numbers. Our main couple is a pair of quiet and talented people: a famous and mysterious voice actor and a promising young composer and singer. I had an amazing time watching the drama and listening to the OST afterwards. It made me want to travel to Guilin and learn how to cook more Chinese meals.For my personal taste, I would have a like more dynamic in the main couple relationship, even without breakups is possible to make the protagonists struggle with outside factors - like disapproving family, unwanted suitors, etc - and grow as people and as a couple because of it, On Love Me, Love My Voice, everything happens kind of easily and our couple do not even sweat for it. Another thing that I would like was to have more screen time for the secondary couples, especially the tanned, strong but shy older voice actor and the bright, youthful protagonist's best friend. I could not imagine more different people but they were strangely appealing.
If you liked the voice acting theme, I suggest: I Hear You
If you liked the slow paced romance without breakups, I suggest: Love 020

Lovely romantic, musical, culinary and tourist trip
Very cute series, with the slow evolution of the relationship between a famous but anonymous voice actor (also a cardiologist), and a young FL, student, composer and singer online. The context essentially revolves around a dubbing studio and its team.The story tells this very slow-burn romance (1st kiss episode 19 :), in a poetic, gentle and sensitive way.
PROS:
+ I love ML. He's the BEST boyfriend, attentive, respectful, handsome, talented. Green flag !!!
+ The voices are important and well highlighted.
+ Particular care is given to the images, the costumes (very beautiful, particularly the FL's dresses), the landscapes, the framing.
+ The OSTs are awesome
+ The storyline is gentle: no twist, no villain or love triangle, no break-up.
CONS:
- I don't think there is such a perfect boyfriend in real life :( :(: respectful, super devoted, ultimate caring,... and with the patience of an angel!
- The FL is a little bland. She's shy, OK. But her character doesn't "shine", doesn't evolve.
- some characters are excessive: the cousins' hyper-protection, the shyness of the undeclared lovers,...
=> Series which allowed me to rediscover Tan Jian Ci, whom I would like to see again in contemporary romantic series.

Joli voyage romantique, musical, culinaire et touristique
Série très mignonne, avec la lente évolution de la relation entre un voice actor star mais anonyme (cardiologue aussi), et une jeune FL, étudiante, compositrice et chanteuse en ligne. Le contexte tourne essentiellement autour d'un studio de doublage et de sa team.
La story retrace cette très slow-burn romance (1st kiss épisode 19 :), de façon poétique, douce et sensible.
PROS:
+ J'adore le ML. C'est le TOP des boyfriends, attentionné, respectueux, handsome, talentueux.
+ Les voix sont importantes et bien mises en valeur.
+ Un soin tout particulier est accordé aux images, aux costumes (très beaux, particulièrement les robes de la FL), aux paysages, aux cadrages.
+ Les OST sont géniales
+ La storyline est douce : pas de twist, pas de villain ni de triangle amoureux, pas de break-up.
CONS:
- je doute qu'il existe un boyfriend aussi parfait dans la réalité :( :( : respectueux, super dévoué, attentionné ultime,... et d'une patience d'ange !
- La FL fait un peu fade. Elle est timide, OK. Mais son personnage ne "brille" pas, n'évolue pas.
- certains personnages sont excessifs : l'hyperprotection des cousins, la timidité des lovers non déclarés,
=> Série qui m'a permis de redécouvrir Tan Jian Ci, que j'aimerai revoir dans des séries romantiques contemporaines.

very boring show .
I really do not like the show because it has no story at all . two strangers who did not even meet each other , they just fall in love because of their voice . there is nothing except for messaging on phone , smiling at each other , eating food and traveling .In this drama , all the casts life are so easy and unrealistic . the female lead character is also annoying because he sees Qiang qing ci as his idol not as his boyfriend whenever he tries to touch her she is so nervous i sometimes feel like he is harassing her .
story somehow feels like a dream story for a girl , as he gets a good looking , rich , simple , famous boyfriend with no fault , who can even cook and never dated before . i mean , is the writer living in her dreams ?
story has same faults as of love 020 and i have to drop both dramas .
because of lost you forever i have high expectations for tan jianci in this drama , but because of boring and unrealistic story i can 't continue anymore .. lets meet him in love has fireworks ..

mismatch feelings
Greetings, everyone! I recently enjoying a delightful and uncomplicated drama. The actors portrayed their roles with grace, and the narrative showcased a seamless transition as the characters got to know each other. The film beautifully visualized mutual respect for personal boundaries, emphasizing the genuine care they showed for one another, particularly during moments of need. The only minor drawback was a repetitive discussion about the same recipes, which, while a tad off-putting, did little to detract from the overall charm of the storyline.Was this review helpful to you?

Worst drama with no story
This is one of the worst drama I have seen till now, I did not even know how it gets this much higher ratings...It feels more like a dream of a teenage girl where he gets a perfect boyfriend who is good looking, Best at cooking, popular, gentle, ...
We all know these types of things are nothing but imagination and I really do not like these types of dramas.. I always prefer dramas who are at least realistic...
In this drama everyone's life is so easy, cool but I prefer drama where we can see how to endure hardships..
Worst drama ever...
