Out of curiosity, why do you keep watching this drama when you clearly don't like the actress, for reasons like saying she can't act, she's stiff, and especially because she doesn't do kiss scenes? Honestly, shouldn't you have dropped it after the fake kiss scene with the bad outro, awkward angle, and cringey dialogue?
Some people actually enjoy this drama, so I’m just genuinely wondering. I'm not trying to argue or start anything, but if it were me, I would've rated it low and moved on. So why keep watching and commenting on something you don't like, all the way to the end? It really doesn't make sense to stay invested in something you dislike that much. Seriously though, I don’t want to argue....but what are your reasons for staying?
It’s funny to see all these comments about the FL, I totally get it because I was disappointed too. But honestly, for me, what really bothered me was how they filmed the kiss scene. It could’ve been so much better. And the conversations right after they kissed? Big no. They didn’t really need to do that, it felt so unnatural when we knew they didn’t kiss for real.
As for the acting, some people said she was stiff or that she didn’t show much emotion on her face. I don’t know about you guys, but I literally cried when they decided to end things on a good note. Plus, the OST they played was just so good! It was nice to actually feel something, even though there were no real kiss scenes. Honestly, it’s not that bad if you can just get past the fact that there won’t be any kisses on the lips in this drama.
They’re both actually really good actors — I liked it, I really did. I never thought I’d end up crying over this drama, especially after being so skeptical about it and commenting earlier.
I like Liu Haocun, she’s a great actress....but I don’t quite understand why they cast someone who doesn’t do kiss scenes in a drama literally titled Be Passionately in Love. I was hoping we’d get at least one, especially since she chose to take on this role. I know she’s avoided kiss scenes in the past, but I thought maybe she was ready this time.
That said, there are plenty of dramas without kiss scenes that still portray the story and chemistry really well. I just hope they give us something that truly shows them being passionately in love. I was really looking forward to it, especially since both leads are my favorites.
After not watching dramas for a while, this one became my first pick—and I have to say, I really enjoyed it! Song Zuer was amazing. I've seen a few of her past dramas, and she never disappoints. And of course, Liu Yuning—my man looked so handsome in this one! I actually found him more attractive here compared to his previous roles.
As for the story itself, "enemies to lovers" is my all-time favorite trope...chef’s kiss! I bet it’s a favorite for most people too. The chemistry was definitely there. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a drama where Liu Yuning lacks chemistry with his co-stars.
I’d give this drama an 8.5. The only reason it’s not a 9 is because I found episodes 31 to 33 a bit boring. I was hoping for more plot development during those parts, but I get it...they needed time for themselves too. Still, it wasn’t bad at all. For people who are really invested in their love story, those episodes will be especially meaningful.
But of course, that didn’t last...Qiao pissed me off again! And yes, I cried at work.
Overall, I think it’s a great story. I haven’t watched a drama with tropes I love this much in a while. If not for those few borings episodes, it would’ve been a solid 9 for me. Maybe I’m weird though hahaha.
Wow, seeing so many negative comments about Lusi after everything she’s been through... honestly, I feel sorry for those people. I didn’t finish this drama, I only watched about half of it because I got lazy waiting for new episodes every week while it was airing. That’s on me, though; I tend to do this with a lot of dramas.
But one thing I want to say , for me, their acting was good. I didn’t feel like she was trying too hard or anything like the comments claimed. Her expressions felt natural, not over-the-top, and honestly pretty realistic for someone who’s been through what her character experienced. Their chemistry didn’t feel forced either, it was actually really good.
I can’t say much about the plot since I haven’t finished the drama yet, but maybe one day I will. It’s hard for me because I really don’t want to cry, just like I did when I watched A Journey to Love. I prefer happy endings, but from what I’ve read, this one has a logical ending , so it should be fine. Still, I need to take care of my mental health first.
All that aside, I do think this is actually a good drama.
I'm on episode 23 and I really don't like Zhang Wan Yi acting in this drama, at first I wasn't sure if it's his…
It’s okay not to like some of the actors or characters, we all have different preferences, and sometimes they just don’t align with others. I get you. I thought the acting was good, but for me, this drama felt pretty average. Personally, I think an 8.5 rating is a bit too high. Maybe most people felt it was that good, but the highest I’d give it would probably be around 7.5 to 8. That said, I do think the second half of the drama was much better, especially towards the end.
Are there any other dramas with similar vibes to this one? Maybe I’ve watched them and can relate a little. I saw some clips from this drama, but it didn’t quite match my taste, even though I really wanted to watch it when it first aired.
Can someone please convince me to watch this drama? It’s so hard to find one that suits me since Always Home... I love romance, no doubt, but I also enjoy a good slow burn with a bit of tension. The thing is, I always get bored when the couple gets together too early. So please, convince me.... I’m begging you guys! Hahaha.
This drama is currently trending in my country! It may not be number one, but making it to the top three after airing with almost no promotion , I’d say that’s pretty impressive, and I’m actually very happy about it!
qiqi and song cong were not compatible with each other at all, i cldnt ship them at all even when they were tgt,…
Yeah, I realized that. I was just hoping that with some distance and time to grow, they might become a more mature version of themselves and eventually end up in a relationship. They have the chemistry, but they weren’t really compatible with each other, and I get that. They were once just kids, and growing up should change certain things about them. But I guess that’s just me , I was really waiting for them.
i don't think songcong and duman ended up together, it was like an emotional casual thing that happened... or…
Yeah, I saw a live clip where he mentioned that he and Du Man didn’t actually establish their relationship. But oh my gosh, this drama! I was nervous, giggling, and even screaming while watching the tension between the leads. Their eyes, the way they stared at each other, was everything! It’s so rare for me to feel this way, but wow, I absolutely love this drama so much.
This was so good! I loved it so much. I’m just a bit sad that Song Cong and Qi Qi’s ending didn’t turn out the way I had hoped. But it’s okay — some people are just not meant to be together.
As for the leads, I absolutely loved their story! I’d rate it a solid 9, but I’ll give it an 8.5 because I didn’t really enjoy Du Man and Song Cong’s relationship. It felt forced, and I didn’t feel the same chemistry as I did when Song Can fell for Qi Qi at the beginning. Honestly, I’m not even sure what their relationship was since I skipped their scenes quite a lot.
Still, I feel sad that it’s over. Now… how am I supposed to move on? This is like one of the best drama I ever watched
same. it was very mid for me. I didn’t really feel chemistry or angst. I didn’t cry and I cry super easily.…
Yeah, I didn’t cry at all in this one… and I usually cry easily too. I really want to watch a good drama with romance, well-executed fight scenes, and angst—plus, a HE is a must. Unless the story has an OE or SE that makes complete sense and feels justified based on everything that happened, I’d prefer it to have a satisfying conclusion that we can all agree on
Everyone is entitled to his opinion. I watched it explicitly for YCY, the brilliant and charming fl who brings…
appreciate this comment a lot... I watched this because of ycy too, I felt like a proud mom after seeing her improvements in this drama as how bad she was in her previous dramas 😆
I actually hated it a lot. It had every troupe I hated and the first 10 eps were actually comic because she looks…
It’s okay—different people have different opinions. Fortunately, I was able to finish this drama, though I had to fast-forward a lot. Maybe you just didn’t like it, and that’s fine. This drama might just not be for you. Maybe you should try watching something else instead.
It’s actually good to see these kinds of responses because most of what I’ve read have been positive. I was nervous for a while hahahaha
It’s been a while since I’ve watched a really good Chinese drama. Of course, there are plenty out there, but when it comes to personal preference, I feel like everyone has their own taste. We all have our biases when it comes to actors and actresses—some people prefer one actor, while others prefer another. I’m the same way. Sometimes, even if a drama isn’t that great, you still watch it just because you like the actors. Or maybe you don’t—it depends.
When I started watching this drama, I had zero expectations because I only knew the male leads. But surprisingly, I ended up really liking it. The fight scenes and the OST were absolutely amazing. They fit together perfectly, especially when the action kicked in. Of course, the drama has its ups and downs, but those fight scenes, combined with the OST, really stood out. Whenever those moments happened, they made up for the slower or less interesting parts of the drama. It was like they helped "heal" my boredom, and I really appreciated that.
The CGI was also impressive—not the best, but still really well done. In fact, I’d say Youku dramas usually have some of the most beautiful CGI. The acting wasn’t bad either, and the story at the beginning was really strong. It’s pretty rare to see a flirty female lead, and while some might find it annoying, I don’t—at least as long as the dub voice is good.
Overall, the fight scenes and OST left a strong impression on me, and I really loved them.
I agree lol. I’m on episode 20. I want her memories back already
I’m actually okay with the whole amnesia trope, but I hate it when nothing really happens. At least give us some thrills—something exciting that makes us eager to wait for the next episode.
I was especially looking forward to the fight scenes even in other xianxia dramas. I kept waiting for those moments, hoping they’d be intense and well-executed, especially with the OST adding to the atmosphere. You know that feeling when the music and action just click perfectly? But in this drama, it didn’t quite hit that mark for me.
I guess the drama prioritizes the romance more than anything else, which is fine, but I wish they balanced it with some more action or excitement.
