Good acting from Yang Zi. Good story about friendship from childhood to adulthood
Love Endures is a melodrama about a group of childhood friends who were there for each other and extremely close from high school to adulthood.
The Synopsis:
Huang Ying Zi, Jiang Yi, Fang Ming Yu, Zhuang Yuan, Lan Yi Fei, and Guan Chao grew up together in Hangtian City, becoming known as the "Hangtian City F6". The good friends had promised to be together for the rest of their lives. Still, they were forced to abandon their promise because of an accident in the year of their Gaokao college entrance examination.
Twelve years later, at 30, each walked alone on their respective life paths, working hard and growing up in the adult world. Suddenly, one day, they received the news that their good friend Guan Chao was about to get married. With the help of Huang Ying Zi, the old friends reunited during the wedding, and their memories of youth slowly unfolded.
Only then did they realize that the feelings that had sprouted when they were seventeen had never dissipated. Many misunderstandings were behind the accident; in fact, the friendship that stayed in the past had never ended.
My Reviews
1. When it was first broadcast, It was unavailable on my personal YOUKU App, where I am a paid VIP member.
2. I have to watch on YouTube under the Kukan channel, where the audio is silent in every episode, and the auto-translation for English subtitles is inaccurate.
3. There are too many flashbacks. I am watching 18 episodes already. It is frustrating to see Ying Zi and Jiang Yi go back and forth, and no one is forthcoming about liking each other.
4. They are now in their adulthood and still behave childishly instead of being honest about their feelings for one another.
5. Episodes 25-32 got interesting as Jiang Yi and their friends try to help Ying Zi overcome and accept the reality that Yi Fei died via suicide, but how they go about helping her from PTSD through a virtual reality game is not realistic.
6. I think it would be better if they help her go through a psychologist to overcome her PTSD instead.
7. The acting is good, especially Yang Zi's; her onscreen chemistry with Fan Cheng Cheng was okay but could have been better. She has better onscreen chemistry with Xiao Zhan in the Oath of Love.
Overall, it was a decent drama, and I enjoyed it; because of the silent audio from Kukan, I gave it a 7.5 rating instead of 8.0
