clingy gf x clingier bf, the holy grail of butterflies
it's rare for me to get butterflies from modern c-dramas, but this one!!! they know what the audience is looking for: water in the desert.
as a cinephile, what i love most is the tender directing. the camera will linger on gestures, frowns, twitch of fingers, shuffling shoes, flutters of eyelids, all subtle signs that heightened the intensity of things unsaid. the visual chemistry of the actors are through the roof, their masculine and feminine charm colliding and gives us no choice but to crush on them both. and the music carries their interactions really well.
the women in this story are portrayed so elegantly too. i like them all and they are so fashionable! Sun Yu with her dreams to make it in the big city felt so humane, especially alongside Zhitao with her heroine privileges. Lumi and her big sister energy that's so full of life. Tracy, Zang Yao, Kitty. i want to be surrounded by successful and beautiful women too haha
Luan Nian is perfectly casted. JBR adorable face trying to look stern in beautiful outfits is just recipee for disaster. someone saide he's not a red flag, but a chinese flag because it's a red flag but with five stars and I totally agree! i can see myself rewatching this in the future.
