Poor Adaptation and Direction Ruined the Experience
There’s no doubt about the actors’ capabilities , I’ve seen their performances before, and both are truly talented artists. Their acting is not under question here. In fact, their chemistry was good. However, something still felt off.What stood out to me was the visual mismatch in their characters' age gap. Despite the storyline suggesting a notable difference in age, their appearances seemed to belong to the same generation. This affected the believability of their dynamic. If an older-looking male lead had been cast, it might have aligned better with the story's context.
Beyond casting, the entire project felt rushed. It seemed as though the entire team was in a hurry to wrap things up rather than allowing the story to unfold naturally. The scenes lacked the necessary pauses and emotional depth , there was no sense of stillness or buildup where there should have been. Scene transitions were jarring and not smooth, making the overall flow disjointed.
The direction and screenplay were the weakest points. Changes were made to the original content, but unfortunately, these changes did not fit well within the narrative. If you're going to adapt something and make changes, those changes must add impact , otherwise, it's better not to alter the original.
I can't ignore these issues, so I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Good Chemistry + Good Directing/Producing
I've seen many different versions of this plotline. I don't understand how a mother could be so incredibly and blindly biased. Yes, you can love the daughter you raised but there is no reason to keep your bio daughter around just to treat her like a doormat. Her ex-fiance deserved his ending. He was cruel and both physically and mentally abusive. The FL is lucky she got out before they got married and things got worse. Something I have never said before but WOAH that last location was absolutely breathtaking. How do I find out where it is? I kinda wish we saw more of what happened to the fake sister and her retribution for trying to kill the FL. I also wanted to see the MLs mother's reaction. Did she know they were both in love with each other? was she supportive? I know it's a short drama so they need to keep the script concise. That is fine but I feel as if they brought his mom up so many times it was weird having never met her when the drama ended. That being said the last 3 or 4 minutes was just beautiful cinematography. Yes, the leads had good chemistry but the parallel flashbacks and then the stairs. Im swooning.Was this review helpful to you?
Wang Yilei solely good acting cannot save this drama.
I remember when i watched other version the plot was so-so but the acting was so adequate to make me engaging on that drama. This drama ruined my view experience. Even my friends saying this version was the best, i completely never agree with her. The production of this drama feel sloppy.I wont say Wang Yilei acting cannot acting (but Yang Shuyu stills has no improvement and it was making this experience more worse) but the ML looks misfit as someone older, FL didn't look too mentally strong and somehow they are miscast on the adaptation. It feels he works alone in full of group assignment. but the result still got F-.
Dropped.

Finalmente a Yang Shu Yu não beijou igual uma porta!
Confesso que até tenho ranço de assistir dramas com a Yang Shu Yu e não escondo isso em minhas resenhas e/ou conversas com usuários aqui no MDL. Porque a atriz parece que está morrendo ao ter que ter uma cena intima com os atores que contracena. Sempre aquela cara de sofrimento sem fim ao beijar. E o primeiro drama que ela fez com o Wang Yi Lei, que eu simplesmente A M O, ela me causou muita raiva porque, sério, olha esse homem, se ele ta vindo te beijar, aproveita filha, não sofre... kkkkkk E aqui, neste drama, FINALMENTE, ela não faz cara de nojinho e beija, poderia beijar melhor? Poderia, mas até dei risada quando percebi que ela finalmente aproveitou a chance, já que ela contracena com tantos homens lindos que nos fazem suspirar...O drama não tem um roteiro original, é o "irmão" que sempre cuidou dela, ai ela é expulsa da família, fica longe, reaparece, ele a encontra, os dois são apaixonados um pelo outro e lááááááá no final que eles vão finalmente ficar juntos.
Mas sinceramente? É Wang Yi Lei! Eu vou assistir independente de ser a milésima vez assistindo o mesmo enredo kkkkkk
Anh, o drama no youtube e outras redes está sendo rotulado como Fall In Love With You, mas como não são links confiáveis, ainda não mandei para adição no MDL.
