Love Me, Love My Voice (2023)

A big fan of Zhou but not this drama.

Story is too cheesy for my liking and even odd at times. The gap created between the leads was too large and some scenes even felt uncomfortable to watch...

***spoiler***
As someone who has not read the original, I can only rate the storyline based on the drama. The drama begins with a bus scene where the ML drops by the FL's personal chat group and comments about a dish. That scene alone threw me off as it felt almost predatory and raised immediate red flags. There are many scenes within the first few episodes that follow a similar pattern. ML sends direct messages to the FL or just randomly talks to her and shares recipes, asks what she is doing. To a certain extent, I can understand the FL's fascination and reaction to the voice msgs as she has idolized the ML for years but as the audience you can't ignore how odd this is. And once you learn about the age gap (in the drama), the messages almost feel inappropriate as if the ML is grooming her/taking advantage of her naivety as his fan.

As the drama goes on, it continues to shine light on the ML, painting him as the perfect boyfriend while muting the FL, focusing on her visuals only. And perhaps too perfect, the ML's actions and tone felt forced at times, making their interactions awkward and unnatural. The FL felt one dimensional with not much else going on in her life; the drama fails to portray Zhou's character's charms and achievements which is a shame. Another point of contention is that there's little to no explanation why the ML fell in love with the FL as he basically started pursuing her from the start with the random voice notes. The leads' love story lacked substance, with the ML feeling the desire to marry the FL on their first trip together when they barely dated was far from romantic and unconvincing.

All in all, I find the storyline to be too unrealistic and underdeveloped. It was an injustice to the cast as it was lacking in so many departments. The actors couldn't flesh out their characters as their story lacked so many details that were necessary. I am currently on episode 22 and plan to finish the drama but feel most would drop this unless they are a fan of Zhou or Tan like myself.

side note: I feel like Zhou played her character well given the script and restrictions to her character. Hoping Zhou will have better luck next time with her scripts and am looking forward to her future works in 2024/2025.

BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY

This is one of the beautiful love drama i watched after a long time. I strongly suggest you guys to watch this one. this is a story about few friends who are dreamers and they reach their dream through hard work. it showcased family love, friendship, loyalty and many other factors... watching this drama was worth my time....
I really enjoyed female lead's family, she is the only girl child in the family of boys, they own a supermarket. and she is taken care by all of her 5 brothers, grandpa, and parents.
our male lead is so sweet, caring towards everyone like female lead, his friends, her family
this drama has one plus point that is their no evil characters all characters are lovable.
I also like multiple couples in this drama
IT IS SURELY WORTH WATCHING
OST another level
they used Chinese ancient music i liked that genre very much
BE SURE TO WATCH THIS ONCE

Music, Food, Love and powerful voices!!!

It’s one of those dramas you watch after something very high angst, or if you just love something sweet. I haven’t had a drama that gave me a certain feeling since Love O2O. This isn’t an overly explanatory review, I just want to say that this drama made me feel good, and I hope it makes someone else feel good too!!!

I think the acting was great, the visuals were amazing. And the voice acting and singing were honestly the biggest highlight of the drama.

I would say that this drama is not for everyone. If you’re one of those people that doesn’t like slow and easy romances, then you will probably find this boring. But for me it’s a 10/10.

Do watch!!!

I was sceptical about watch this series, it had a good rating so i thought i would give it a go. It turned out to be a very entertaining indeed. It was maybe a few episodes too long but it did not detract from the fact that the story was well written, and well acted by all the cast. I have not seen these actors before but i will be sure to look out for them in the future. The ML and FL were a believable and delightful.
The real treat was the cinematography, stunning scenery, Places i can only now dream about visiting,
Oh yes and the music must not forget the music, it is just brilliant,
I will watch this again when i am looking for something endearing and light.

Beautiful Music. Good Chemistry. No Misunderstandings. Supportive Friends. (But boring story)

Although the couples in the drama had a beautiful relationship, the drama was very linear and boring. Had to fast forward most of the scenes once the lead couple get together. However, they do have good chemistry which comes across clearly in the kissing scenes. They are so damn adorable.

What I liked about the drama:
Beautiful Music: It honestly has some of the best music. I like it especially because it reminds me of "Immortal Samsara" one of my favorite cdramas. Even though I can barely understand the language, there's no denying the beauty to it and the subtitles were pretty great.
Good Chemistry: This is the first drama where I have seen Tan Jian Cik act and wow! He has such a great personality and his stylist did such a good job. The clothes, the hairstyle, everything was on point. The actor himself brought a lot to the table, the way he looked at the FL was heartwarming. Even though I like Zhou Ye as an actress, the character was too timid for my tastes. However, they looked good together.
No Misunderstandings: Although the drama was boring, I don't mind that. Give me a boring sweet drama, over one filled with misunderstandings.
Supportive Friends: Each and every character in the drama was so supportive. Even the fans were happy that the Leads got together.

While I wont necessarily come back for a rewatch, this is a good drama for one time watch.

Dammit, now every time I'm watching a wuxia or xianxia drama and there's a male voice singing in the background i think it is Mo Qing Cheng.

Awesome drama , Great Singing and Perfectly as the title say Love Me , Love my Voice.

This drama stayed true to all the tags associated with it, the male lead was amazing, his singing was one of the greatest aspects of the show, and his voice and straightforwardness were great to see. The chemistry, the wholesomeness, and the family-like friendship structure were exceptional, I especially loved the fact that got together early, the concerts, and just the 'me' or 'us' time between the leads. The female lead played her part so well. The osts were amazing especially the duet 'Return With You'. It was a drama that you could just enjoy with the break ups, it was just cute, funny, good vibes, and being the unearthed version of themselves with each other. The other characters were just as enjoyable as the main ones. This drama was emotional, beautiful singing and dubbing, the cinematography was picturesque. The cooking elements were great and the bonding that came with it. Awesome drama!!

Very fluffy and light to watch

I started watching this drama after finishing Lost You Forever S1 & S2. It was because of Tan Jianci getting BE in LYF and I've watched Everyone Loves Me where Zhou Ye is the FL. I've watched this drama 2 times and will rewatch it again.

The acting and chemistry of the ML and FL are great, love the OST -- saved in my playlist, and performances in the drama. The other actors acting are also good, especially their relationship as friends even before they become famous in the dubbing industry and how they started this as a business.

The drama is light and fun to watch, there is no drama or problematic second lead. I mean there's not even a single problem presented in this drama. And I know there will be no Mo Qingcheng or Qiang Qingchi in real life but still, it's a great drama.

I'd recommend watching this drama as a break in between other dramas that feels heavy to watch like LYF, TTEOTM, Kunning Palace, etc.

A little spoiler FFB/XL skill will be shown in this drama near the end of the drama.

A once in a lifetime Cdrama

I have watched 100s of cdramas over the years and I have to say that a drama like this is very rare, which is what prompted me to make this review which is also my first time ever reviewing a drama because I felt it would be such a waste if I don't review this masterpiece. I really loved Zhou Ye's acting in Back from the Brink drama where I first saw her. So I just randomly checked her recent dramas 4 days back in mydramalist and thus found this. I came here not expecting much but I was mindblown. This drama definitely has managed to make itself a spot in my heart which many cdramas have simply failed to do, even usually fan favourite ones like Love 020 which i actually dropped midway.(For context out of the 100s of Cdramas I have watched, only around 20-30 have really managed to make itself really memorable)
For starters the acting was really good and the chemistry between the main lead was insane! This drama was in essence cuteness overload. I did see a lot of negative comments about this drama before I started saying it was slow and while watching I did understand that this drama might not actually be some people's cup of tea which I totally respect, but it definitely is my cup of tea. The acting like I already said was spectacular, second leads were also really nice and their acting were also really good. The story had a really good pacing.
As many already pointed out, this drama has no villains, Love triangles etc and everyone is very good. Male lead is just too perfect which some people I see did infact hate but tbh I like it. I love these kinds of dramas with no breakups, misunderstandings, fights etc which are usually rare and even ones that supposedly don't have any misunderstandings or fights, they usually have atleast a single instance of that, this drama has none which again I love about it.
I am not really good at making reviews since like I said this is my first ever time making it especially in mydramalist but in short, I love this drama and highly recommend all Cdrama fans to check it out. First few eps may feel slow for some but keep with it and you will surely not regret it.
I also hope to see another drama in the future starring Tian Jince and Zhao Ye together again.
That's it from me.

A peaceful watch

this romance drama was such a nice change from the usual love triangle, crazy psycho second female lead, male lead playing hard to get for like 40 episodes. best of all there was no second lead syndrome ?️ It was paced decently although I do feel like 33 episodes was kinda excessive but it showed their growth in their relationship.
As well as the storyline and music and atmosphere of the performances were also amazing. overall this drama was definitely a nice watch and the lack of negative vibes and the positive characters was amazing.
I do feel like it was lacking in depth however as they got into a relationship so fast and then it just kinda ehh. maybe It’s because I’m more of a enemies to lovers type person but ?. nevertheless it was a pleasant watch
