Why Women Love (2022)

Charming noona romance that hits the right spots!

I am sucker for noona romances and this show ticked all my fancy little boxes. What I appreciate best is how different the male character Jiaxin from other male leads in similar shows. His character is very soft spoken and not a single hint of overbearing ceo type. It is refreshing. While he isn’t the prettiest male actor/idol out there, his character made it all up for him. Can’t Jiaxin be any more perfect? Just saying.

I can’t really say any negative about the acting. I actually like the female lead and the cast. Nothing special about the story, but I like how they mixed in digital tech and social media issues. Good balance of romance and comedy. I had lots of laughs and really enjoyed the episodes. Not too much angst, just the right bits. I must warn you though, there are some really corny scenes, so watch out.

This is perfect to binge watch after a really serious angsty drama. Will surely put a smile in your face.

Cute Heir and Girl Boss Romance

I found this drama from Instagram when only the poster was released and the visuals of the main couple had me adding it to my list. Then when it was about to air it was all over Tiktok and I got reminded to watch it. Definitely different from the Tiktok edits as they portray it to be a more spicy drama when in reality it’s mostly fluff which I’m living for!

I typically don’t like age gap dramas, but Wang Zi Yi and Gina Jin were great together and had a lot of chemistry! Also, their age gap wasn’t too noticeable either.

Gu Jia Xin seems to be an immature and mischievous playboy in the beginning, but in reality he’s literally like a puppy! This boy is a walking green flag and is actually very mature, kind, and thoughtful. He realizes his feelings early on which I like. He does a lot for his YueYue and his confession was SO thoughtful and romantic. Also, despite being constantly harassed by Li Yan Ran he was never mean to her or led her on. He was still a gentleman despite probably being so annoyed. Yes he did do childish actions, but we can see that he really matured and tried to improve himself, especially for Zhao Jiang Yue. I really loved his character!!
Side Note: In episode 14 you can really see Gu Jia Xin’s sincerity. Despite being injured and in the hospital, he picked Zhao Jiang Yue up and saved her from those businessmen. He also saw the scorecards between him and Mr.Xu which probably hurt him a lot, but despite that he still continued to take care of Zhao Jiang Yue and even made her porridge in the morning. He even freaking apologized for seeing it!! Seriously love this man.

Zhao Jiang Yue is so beautiful and very much an independent woman. Her character was nice and her personality and reluctance to start a relationship with Gu Jia Xin gave this drama just enough drama to make it interesting. Also her proposal to Gu Jia Xin was EVERYTHING! Just like his confession, her proposal was so thoughtful and sweet. I loved it!

As for Qi Heng and Zheng Duo Xi, they’re story is cliche, but really cute! Lol. Both like each other, but are too innocent and shy to admit at first. They’re such a cute couple full of fluff. I also noticed that their outfits are always coordinated/matching lol!
Side note: I loved Gu Jia Xin and Zheng Duo Xi’s friendship. They helped each other with relationships and they just had such a cute friendship overall.

Didn’t care too much about the second lead couple though. Li Yan Ran was so annoying and childish, but her and Xu Ning Yan, who is so serious, balance each other out. Li Yan Ran was infuriating as the show went on and kept harassing Gu Jia Xin. Good thing his patience was long and she finally accepted he doesn’t like her in the end. I guess all the couples in this series are opposites who balance each other out. But again, didn’t care too much for the other couple besides the main couple.

I liked Qiao Jingjing and Zhang Hao as a couple when it came out that him cheating wasn’t true but before then they were okay.

I did have an issue with the dubbing for Gu Jia Xin (which was still dubbed by Wang Zi Yi) sometimes because it wasn’t always accurate or synced which I noticed a couple times. :(

Overall I liked this drama! It was a fun and light watch :)

Nothing Special About This Drama But Enjoyable to Watch

Me personally, I enjoy this drama from start to finish but that doesn't really make it a perfect (10/10) drama for me. There are a lot of things I like about this drama and other things I felt like this drama missed out on. So let's go over my thoughts.

What's in this drama:
* A boss & assistant relationship. FL is the boss and the ML is the assistant. This is an older female and younger male relationship
* Love triangle sort of exists in this drama but it's a tamed and controlled love triangle. Jiang Yue has a crush on her former boss Xu Ning, Jia Xin tries to help her get with her crush but eventually falls in love with her instead. This leads to Jiang Yue's feelings changed eventually to where she starts to like Jia Xin. All at the same time, Xu Ning ends up having feelings for Jiang Yue and Jia Xin's clingy and obsessed childhood friend Yan Ran has been chasing after Jia Xin since she was a little kid, hoping he would accept her feelings for him.
* Two other couples are featured in this drama: One couple showcase a misunderstanding which leads to hardship in their love while the other couple is just so darn sweet & cute.
* Heavily focuses on the company aspects aka Love Note App. Each ending showcases a love note advice from either the main or side characters.
* Minor villain in this drama. Appears very late in the drama and is only in a few episodes before being kicked out.

What I liked:
* Great chemistry between the leads & our cute & adorable side couple (Duo Xi & Qi Heng)
* OSTs in this drama are my favorite, especially the intro & ending songs. Added each one to my music playlist.
* Character development for everybody, from our main leads to our side characters who are our 2nd & 3rd couples.
* Love note advice at the end of each episode
* A satisfying and happy ending

What's I'm not a fan of
* Story was just average overall due to the plot being focus on the love note app and the company. I wanted to see more in-depth scenes about the backstory of our main leads. The drama showed some backstory but lacked the details and scenes for a viewer like me to understand the characters fully and to see the steady progress of overcoming personal struggles. Content was there for Jia Xin (mom and son relationship, & trauma from a close friend's motorcycle accident), & Jiang Yue (hardship with dad and the reason of not finding love).
* The handling of one of the side couple's misunderstandings: I don't wanna give too much away but I felt like it should've been more about the building of their relationship again instead of the instant "oh you still love me, let's be together again". I'm glad they're together again but I wanted to see a progress of this couple rebuilding their relationship, instead of acting like nothing bad ever happened between them.
* A bit too much clinginess and stalkerish actions.
* Filler episodes towards the end: I wasn't a fan how they introduce a so called "ex" and a minor villain, who only appeared for a short time for like 5 episodes. What's worse, the writers tried to make you sympathized with the villain. No thanks!

Liked I said before, I enjoyed it. Even with all of the stuff that I had some issues with, it was still an easy watch for me. Keep in mind, this may or may not be a drama for you but it's up to you now you have an idea on what to expect.

A simple fluffy light hearted watch!

Originally, I wasn't planning to watch this drama because of the age gap aspect because personally I am not a big fan of age gap dramas. However, I came across lots of clips of the drama on instagram and tiktok, and finally I decided to watch this drama. I had watched love is sweet before this and absolutely loved it, and why women love and love is sweet are very similar in many aspects and so if you liked love is sweet you'll love this one.

The plot wasn't really anything extraordinary, it was a simple story about the office workers and a romance between a younger man and older woman. This show according to me actually did the age gap right, the male lead was childish and cute while the female lead was mature and serious but it didn't feel awkward in any way. She became childish when she was around him and he became mature when he was around her and I found that very sweet that they could show other sides of them to each other. There was a love triangle, or square (idk at one point I lost track) and I found that very draggy/boring and in the beginning the second female lead really got on my nerves because of the way she acted. After she evolved near the end, I did start liking her a bit but before that I would actually get annoyed and skip most scenes with her . (okay ngl I was actually happy that she ended up with the second male lead though). I actually really enjoyed that they we got to see a little bit of all the secondary character's lives, I found that refreshing during when the show would slow it's pace.

The acting wasn't the very best, it was okay considering the male lead is an idol and doesn't have much experience I thought he did okay. The chemistry between the leads was actually amazing, there were sparks everywhere whether they were playful around each other or being all romantic with each other or even fighting the sparks were always there. I actually really loved the ost of the drama, I though they were really catchy songs and were used properly in each scene. I probably would rewatch it when I want to watch a light-hearted drama, but I found it slightly slow in it's pace to actually rewatch from beginning to end

Overall, a very cute fluffy watch that I enjoyed watching and would probably rewatch soon. If you like cute office romances, that make you smile throughout this one is for you!

Perfect romcom for gloomy days, and what a chemistry between the lead coup’e

This drama required the rule of 4 episodes for me to get a good feeling of what it is… and what a great surprise. Light fluffy romance … with off-the-charts chemistry between the 2 leads. That’s my second drama with Jin Chen, and I start wondering if she is the one bringing the best out of her partner (other watched … also, how nice that her voice is not dubbed by another actress as is usually the case in C-dramas… this no baby voice. She is so natural in her acting that it is not hard to believe that younger people would fall for her…special mention to the Ml, Wang Zi Yi, quite recent in the movie industry, initially, he was the one making me reluctant to give it a chance … but he’s really good in his role. So, all in all, great time watching this drama, couldn’t help but smile or laugh throughout, and have butterflies too
(I used to be a huge fan of kdramas, but I must say that I find c -dramas more satisfying from a healthy romance perspective, and are not shy with skinship and kisses, as expected from a mature relationship)

I took a break...

INFORMATION:
I watched mainly for the ML's actor has I've seen him in Idol Producer, so I was interested into his acting career.

Overall, the show was okay. I was watching the show while it was airing and by the time the aired episode of 21-24 came out I took like a 6 week break from not watching the show. Like for me to finish the show about now, and having to almost forced myself to watch the last episode should tell you a bit.

STORY:
The story was okay, I didn't mind the whole story like I understand it but it was weird for someone to be making a love app though they don't understand love. The age gap didn't bother me too much, the characters were pretty okay played out. I though think that ML's character didn't have a lot of immatureness in the beginning of the show for the need of him to put into the company to raise his mature level, so that didn't make sense. I felt like if they weren't going to play into the the hospital guy story or have a little more with that then they should just cut it out, it really wouldn't have made a difference whether he wanted to win the race for the friend or if he wanted to prove something for himself.

ACTING:
As this is the ML first acting, it is understandable. I do think as the drama was going he was getting better and better, so I would really like to see him improve even more. The FL's acting was good I enjoyed it. However I think throughout the entire show I really couldn't tell if the leads had chemistry. I think they do and I really wish they played more into it, I feel like the chemistry was good like they had it but it could be possible that they didn't display it well.

It got boring for some reason

The couple took too long to get together, such that when they finally do, it doesn't cause the catarsis it should. And after that, the drama got a little boring since all the possible obstacles they could have are kinda resolved. And they brought an ex to shake things up but I hate this trope.

So basically this was so so good to watch at the beginning but because the writers chose, for some reason, to take long 20 eps to make the couple be together, they simply ruined the series.

But the ML is really good, I like that he is younger than her but also mature. He was silly but not imature or childish, and that's good. While FL was good as well but a little too slow to admit she felt smth for him. But they had chemistry and I liked them together. Liked that they were friends and acted natural with each other. There was no pretending or forcing to be smth they weren't. But, like I said, it felt like they took ages to be a couple, and when they do it all gets boring for some reason.
