Title My Journey to You
Lu Yu Xiao and Cheng Lei alluring performances and super chemistry stole this show when it was first broadcast. Now in my second viewing, I can relax and appreciate other positive aspects. Zhang Ling He and Esther Yu were a good match but Esther's performance was lacklustre though I applaud her for trying a different role. ZLH did well, he had great chemistry with his funny sister and best friend but his character was a bit spineless. Jolin Lin was amazing as the sister and had a great rapport with his CP but her comedy moments were few and far apart. As we know, every hetero drama in China has a bromance (Chinese BL) subplot to attract more audiences but Cheng Lei looks forced as Tian Jia Rui big brother and I could not see the appeal. I think the fact that most of us were obsessed with his romance with Lu Yu Xiao character somehow make his rapport with Tian Jia Rui character annoying. When I watch this series first time I found it super boring at moments but now I just keep going and I enjoy it somehow. It is a dry series, not enough spark, plots points not well explained, and a silly overuse of the blowing machine! but I still gave it a good rate.
