张晚意不是男小三的， 他只有晚， 晚的爱， 张晚意
If you’re looking for a “green flag” character/normal & healthy relationship then this drama is not for you, but if you are like me who is intrigued by the idea of “unconventional love” then watch this drama. I initially gave it a seven point five score right after finishing ep24 but upon further introspection I think it deserves a solid 8 for how well-acted and realistic the storyline is despite having some moment of cliché.
The first episode was definitely controversial in a sense that what kind of urban romance drama shows a love about a divorced man and a woman who is falling out of love with his 10-year-old boyfriend? And while a certain scene makes it seem scandalous I am on the team who would say that there is no indefinitely in this drama—they write it off quite well in my opinion.
The female lead, Xu Nuo (played by Sun Yi) mentioned sth abt how they got off to a rocky start but they did not start anything until she cut off her scumbag ex (who refuses to let her go and did all sorts of means to cling onto her) but whatever happens she will be the one who will be deemed as the “cheater” (even though his ex had a thing with baifumei).
I don’t think the ex loved her anyway, he was just obsessed and refused to “lose” to the male lead — Zhao Jin (portrayed by Zhang Wanyi) while belittling him despite them being “friends” initially.
It’s def refreshing to see a story that breaks the usual norm. Both leads are flawed but it was not to the point that it drives me crazy because I think some of the things they did were still pretty logical given the traumatic things they have gone through in the past.
Sure, Zhao Jin seems perfect on the paper. He’s a vet, he’s handsome (ofc) but he is just an ordinary guy who is pretty direct, keeps everything to himself because he bears such heavy responsibilities and at some point is insecure about himself. The first encounter with Xu Nuo was quite the meet cute and I could feel their chemistry from the beginning, it was even more amplified by their subtle expressions and great acting — the sparks are there but they set themselves to certain boundaries.
The fact that I stayed engaged through all 24 episodes is enough of a testament that I enjoyed this drama despite there being several characters that annoyed me to no end, but then again that’s life — and I am very pleased by the way it wraps up. Also 10/10 for the OST
