The best Chinese drama i have ever watched , Don't believe the rumours it's totally worth it
This will always be my favourite , i really enjoyed it. I had also read the novel so i had very high expectations and I won't say that this drama didn't had any plot holes but still which drama is totally perfect. It's true that the length of the episodes was small but other than that there were no other problems and this was all because of li ming de , it was all because of him that that the episodes were cut short and ai face swaping was used. I watched this drama for zhou ye and he yan but fell in love with ryan Cheng and xiao jue . zhou ye potraited the best female general and she was the perfect actress for the role of he yan so this drama deserves the title legend of the female general. I was waiting for this drama since 2023 so for me it was the most anticipated and best Chinese drama of this year . If i had to rate this drama i would give this drama 9.5/10 because each and every role in this drama be it supporting or main deserves this much! Thank you soo much zhou ye and cheng lei for this amazing chinese drama this will always be my favourite and most loved chinese drama. This drama and the story personally taught me a lot and I will be grateful for this amazing story.he yan and xiao jue are the best couple ever ❤️☺️🥰🫶🏻

One of the Best Modern Dramas I Have Ever Watched ?
Believe me when I say this, The Early Spring is one of the best dramas I have watched this year.I read the novel about a year ago. I don't usually read novels, and this was only the second one I had ever read. The first was Legend of the Female General. I had already watched three dramas starring Sun Qian: Dr. Cutie, Love Song in Winter, and Love Story in the 1970s, with Love Story in the 1970s being my favourite. As for Jing Boran, this was my first drama of his. However, from the moment I saw the cast and read the synopsis, I somehow felt that Jing Boran was perfect for the role of Luan Nian.
When I first started reading the novel, I actually wanted to quit because Luan Nian was such a jerk. 😭 But I continued because I wanted to see Shang Zitao's journey and how her character developed.
After finishing the novel, I came across some BTS clips from the drama. When I saw Jing Boran crying, I felt strangely relieved. I remember thinking that at least he probably wouldn't be exactly the same arrogant and difficult man from the novel. 😂
Then came the long wait for the drama.
The moment The Early Spring was released, I immediately started watching it. And the very first thing I fell in love with was the opening song sung by Liu Yuning. It was so addictive that I couldn't bring myself to skip the opening even once. That's honestly how much I loved it.
As someone who has read the novel, I am genuinely very happy with this adaptation. There were so many misunderstandings, unspoken feelings, and moments of pain between the two leads, but I am really happy that eventually both of them came to understand what the actual problems in their relationship were, even if it took them a long time to realise them.
And Luan Nian... what happened to that proud, stubborn and arrogant man from the novel? 😂 He became a total green flag and an absolute simp. I loved seeing that transformation. At the same time, Shang Zitao gradually became the person she wanted to be, and seeing her journey was one of my favourite parts of the story.
I don't know why, but today I feel genuinely happy after finishing this drama. It has been a while since I felt this happy after watching a C-drama. There is something about this story that just stayed with me.
Of course, the drama did have one noticeable problem: the time jumps. But considering that the drama was reduced from 32 episodes to 24, I think they still managed the adaptation surprisingly well.
What I especially loved about The Early Spring is that the story feels very close to real life. People can genuinely love each other and still have problems in their relationship. Lack of communication, misunderstandings, trust issues, jealousy and unresolved feelings can create distance even when two people deeply care about each other.
But the drama also shows what is necessary for a relationship to survive and grow. Nobody is perfect. Making mistakes doesn't mean that someone is incapable of loving or being loved.
One line from Luan Nian that stayed with me was:
«“You don't have to be perfect to be worthy of love.”»
I really, really love this line. ❤️
I hope everyone who watches The Early Spring can experience the same happiness, along with a little bit of sadness, that I felt while watching it and can understand what the drama is trying to say.
Thank you so much to Sun Qian and Jing Boran for giving us such an amazing drama. ❤️
The Early Spring has officially become my favourite modern romance drama, and I sincerely hope it becomes just as special to everyone else who watches it.
Thank you for this beautiful journey. 🌸
