Love Song in Winter (2024)

Love song in winter can be considered a great modern cdrama that came out this year. It has a mix of both romance and mystery which tbh is nicely executed. The story in my opinion has good pacing. No character seemed irrevelant in the drama. You know when there are just random side couples. Let's discuss the character's of Love Song in Winter.

Lu Yan is an anesthesiologist and Jiang Chengyi is a detective. They both reunite 8 years after their breakup. I found their relationship mature. They did have communication problems but still in later episodes they talked through it. They really went through too much. Lu Yan felt guilty for so many years for thinking she pushed her best friend to death while JC was hurt from their sudden breakup. Lu Yan is courageous for going through the death of her close friends 2 times, having to stay away from your loved one. You could say even if the circumstances were not peaceful, their relationship was; once they got together again.
Wen Peng was suspicious from the start. Many secrets about him was unexpected though. Him being beaten by his dad and thinking his mom abandoned him turned him to the worst. THE ABUSED BECOMES THE NEXT ABUSER. This quote came to my mind watching him. He could have taken a different path when he turned adult but him killing Deng Man, Ding Jing, trying to hurt close people around Lu Yan is not forgivable. He hated his mother even when she tried to reconcile but could never stand up to his father. Lu Yan showed up when he was about to end his life and he held onto her. He did not love Lu Yan he wanted someone to love him. He was a manipulator who destroyed too many lives.
Deng Man was very naive. Believing Wen Peng and shooting a video which basically solidified her suicide. She mistaked Zou Zhi Cheng's goodwill towards her to be intimate affection. ZC did not intend to do so at first but he did cheat on his paralysed wife with DM. He says he is a human being and he indulged himself just once but that does not justify his cheating. He stood by watching DM being bullied when he could have come forward and stopped it. He was the adult. He should not have such a relationship with a student. Deng Man did not reveal their relationship till the end but that lead to Lu Yan thinking she killed herself because of her. She may not have deserved her death but she was an accomplice in harrassing Lu Yan.
Ding Jing is another character who could not accept rejection. To get Jiang Chengyi she bullied DM into breaking them up. Again, she did not want DM to get killed but her maliciousness towards Lu Yan surfaced later. Her hiring pervert to take pictures of LY and saying that persong could do whatever he want with her. This made me hate her to the core. There was no excuse for this.
What I liked about this drama was that every criminal was punished in the end by law. And they did not push the climax till the last episode. There was proper closure. It may have been boring to many viewers however I liked the drama's setting.

balance between charm and mediocrity

"Love Song in Winter" is a series that strikes a balance between charm and mediocrity. The premise revolves around a winter romance that promises warmth and connection, but it often feels like it’s treading familiar ground without offering anything particularly new.

The characters are likable enough, but they lack the depth that would make them truly memorable. While I appreciated their chemistry, it sometimes felt forced, and their development throughout the series was inconsistent. I found myself wishing for more backstory and emotional depth to really invest in their journey.

The pacing was a bit uneven; some episodes flowed nicely while others felt dragged out, making it hard to stay fully engaged. The winter setting was beautifully captured, adding a cozy vibe to the overall aesthetic, but it wasn’t enough to completely elevate the story.

Overall, "Love Song in Winter" is an average watch that has its moments of sweetness but doesn’t quite reach the heights of a truly great romance. I’d give it a 5/10—enjoyable for a casual viewing but not something I’d rave about.

Even in 2024(25) 1900’s drama

Yet again desperate male soul looking for desperate love.
I don’t know when will these Chinese directors change their template and use some sense, at least for once in a while. No story no character development nothing. Typical Cdrama template
1. From the first episode itself ML start to follow FL till the last episode. If FL goes to moon ML meets by coincidence, if she goes to Jupiter again same.
2. In all the cdramas ML is top professional but very free to roam wherever FL goes without proper background story or reason.
3. While the FL leading life personal and professional in a balanced fashion, ML is desperate to love FL it’s like he has nothing to do but to persue FL.
4. In this drama also, even till 5 episodes never seen ML working(except for starting few minutes that to completely scrap), initially I thought may be he is in vacation for his father’s surgery, instead of comforting his father and his family he is simply roaming with FL to some marriage function, super market, repairing FL neighbouring street lights, dropping off and pick up FL. That to she broke up with him suddenly and ruthlessly without giving any reason.
5. In the first episode ML tells to FL that “you are not that important to me” I thought at least in this drama ML is matured and realistic, but few minutes later again came back to desperate mode.
6. In most of the Cdramas I like FL character, they are social, people person and charismatic but ML characters are like sadistic- cold who keeps on looking(stalking) at FL what she is doing, with whom she is speaking, eating/drinking etc.. for them only FL looks like human other female characters are allergic.

Um otimo dorama pra quem gosta de enredo de misterio.

O dorama é interessante, o destaque é o enredo de mistério, nada é o que parece, é ótimo pra criar teorias. Porém, da pra perceber quem é depois de algumas dicas, e como isso acontece faltando uns 10 ou mais episódios pra acabar, o enredo se torna um pouco cansativo. O casal de amigos é bem legal, mereciam mais cenas. O casal tem cenas legais, mas não é um romance que encanta ou se destaque, e a personalidade dos personagens em alguns momentos é estressante. O destaque é o enredo do vilão, ele é todo errado, fez coisas horríveis que não tinha como ter redenção, mas chega um momento em que é possível torcer pra que ele não fosse o culpado, o passado dele não justifica e nem muda as coisas que ele fez, mas mostra o quanto erraram com ele e como a falta de amor influenciou o comportamento dele. O melhor final seria ele não ser o culpado, mostrar ele se afastando dos amigos, indo fazer terapia, e mostrar que ele não queria se aproximar dos protagonistas, mas que perdoa a mãe. É como ele mesmo diz, todos tinham seus motivos, mas ele nisso tudo? A mãe fez certo em fugir, mas errou da forma que fez, e quando ele foi procurar ela, viu ela feliz, com a nova familia, na mente dele, ele foi abandonado, ficou sofrendo enquanto ela era feliz com a nova familia. Os protagonistas tem culpa? Não. Mas, mostra que em alguns momentos, mesmo sem querer, e mesmo não tendo culpa, eles foram vilões na vida de outra pessoa. É um enredo complicado e bem interessante. Não gostei muito da policial e do ator como casal e a personagem também não me encantou muito. É um drama incrível, pra quem se encantar com o casal, o enredo se torna ainda mais interessante.

Casalzão e um vilão surpreendente

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Comecei e terminei pelo johnny, e pelo roteiro policial e médica, que atualmente ambos são minha nova obsessão.
Achei esse drama fofo, clichê e vergonhoso, teve cenas em que meu deus preferia me desviver a ver de novo. Pra mim, o vilão foi feito pra carregar esse drama nas costas, criava situações desde o início e ninguém nunca suspeitava do divo, quem diria que seria ele o vilão no primeiro episódio? Não foi um vilão construído por sitações atuais ou vigança repentina, esse era frio, calculista e tinha visão a longo prazo. Gostei do rumo do personagem dele.
Agora o Johnny acabou sendo um policial sem sal, todo episódio dele de policial eu pensava em como ele ficava melhor de bombeiro mesmo. Achei que ele não passou a vibe policial, na verdade acho que todos os detetives não passaram essa vibe. As situações pareciam ser tranquilas, bem resolvidas e finalizadas, com correria e análise cotidiana, foram 30 episódios de um drama "policial" onde ele só resolveu um único caso.
Tirando isso, Johnny e a diva da atriz principal fizeram um casalsão, companheiros, amigos, sinceros, parceiros, confidentes, apaixonados, brincalhões, foi um casal fofo de acompanhar e também bem fácil na real, triângulo amoroso aqui não teve vez (e não foi por falta de tentativa).
Nota final: gostei do drama, apesar de ter algumas situações massivas, os plots sequencias e a interação entre os casais acabaram salvando esse drama. Gostei muito de como o casal principal parecia tão rotineiro, tão amigos e com tanta saudade sempre.

O roteiro tem alguns furos, mas é interessante. Apesar do roteiro, desde o inicio, conduzir ao mentor que arquitetou os crimes, o desenvolvimento é satisfatório. O elenco convenceu do início ao fim. Jhonny Huang vestiu como uma luva o personagem Jiang Cheng Yi e a atriz Sun Qian entregou tudo que sua personagem exigia. A finalização é apressada, algumas cenas seriam necessárias para um melhor acabamento da obra, como: o que aconteceu com a mãe dela após acordar, como a mãe de Wen Peng encarou a situação de seu filho biológico ser um criminoso e ser preso por seu filho de criação e, algumas outras tantas cenas de recordação poderiam ser suprimidas ou encurtadas, pois não acrescentaram nada ao capítulo final.
