Sad sad sad sad
Great story while execution could still be improved. Cried many times. Sad and bittersweet ending for everybody which made the drama heavy. First time knowing the two main actors, their chemistry is great. Thinking how Li Susu was left with no one (thank the writer for adding a daughter) was so cruel. Even the fact that she had to k!ll Tantai Jin is so cruel. I kind of hoped they could meet again in the future but that’s going to probably be redundant because they have already had several years of lifespan lol.Was this review helpful to you?
I’m surprised!!!! I liked the drama :)
First - Lead actors. It’s the first time watching any work of Zhai Zi Lu and Xiao Yan (had to look for their names). And Watched “Special Lady” without expectation at all (except for the 7.4 mydramalist rating). I don’t usually write reviews but I did for this drama because I want to say that both of them are good actors and the drama deserves a bit higher review.Zhai Zi Lu - impressive. I think with all the cdramas I have watched, he’s the only cdrama actor that I found good in romcom. He has great sense of comedic timing that is crucial in this type of character (though I find his intonation too high sometimes lol). His antics are on point. Not all can pull off this silly character as some may look awkward or trying hard.
Xiao Yan - adorable. I did not have much interest in her in the beginning but she gets adorable as the drama progress. Her acting is good and the character fits her overall look.
Zheng Xiao Ning - Song Zhu’s father. Dean Song. I wanted to put it up here that he did a good job acting as the ever calm and upright character.
Second - chemistry!!!! They were cute bickering (and because the characters are well portrayed, I found them silly in a good way) I loved their energies.) Then when they were starting to realize the tension between them I found myself smiling and giddying that I wanted their relationship to progress faster lol. Finally!!!! When they got together it was warm, fuzzy, calm and secure relationship which fully convinced me watching it is so worth it <3
Story - Now I think one of the reasons for the low review is it’s excessively long, especially the first half of the drama. I know it’s for the plot but I still fee like this should not have 36 episodes. Especially the relationship build-up for the two it took more than half of the series. Nothing special about the plot but still a good watch. So I am giving it a 8.5. Still it gave me butterflies in my stomach so great job, everybody!
Thank you for reading my review. <3

P.S. I’m glad I did not root for the 2nd male lead guy here lol. Judge him when you watch the series

Fun and light drama
I have watched countless romantic drama series but this is probably the first time I rooted for the main leads that much, and for them to be together asap. Such well written story and characters. They are such kind souls that deserve happiness, and deserve each other. <3 And the second leads’ stories and characters are much thought of just as much as the main so I never skipped much of their scenes unlike other c-dramas. I’m glad I gave this drama a try. It was fun and light, good for the soul drama. :)Was this review helpful to you?
