An honest review of an underrated series

Hi everyone!
First and FOREMOST the plot summary does no justice to what a beautiful refreshing drama this is.
Lemme explain why,
1. Don’t judge the rating, As a person who enjoyed- it’s okay to not be okay , DOTS, crash landing on you, RIAB book, what’s wrong with Secretary Kim I ENJOYED THIS DRAMA.
2. This is one of the most REFRESHING Korean dramas I’ve seen in a while. I just feel like people aren’t used to this kind of new aspect. The interview format is lovely. Love the different kinds opinions to taboo topics.
3. I LOVE LOVE THE CINEMATOGRAPHY. No words. Just breathtaking.
4. Even though there is a flashback and present- it’s so beautifully and carefully executed so that it’s always refreshing. LOVED THE BEACH SCENES.
5. There is a bit of a mystery to it and the plot slowly develops but I LOVE THE MOMENTS. THE DRUNK GIRL MOMENT , THE COKE MOMENT AND SO MANYYY MOREEE
6. Another thing I loved is how we don’t have to wait for a kiss between the main leads forever.
7. The tribute to some of the best kinda music out there is fabulous! The rock bands.
8. This drama is an entirely different vibe, you might be scared to give it a try but do go ahead and watch the first 3 episodes. It might be your cup of tea.
9. Gotta love my confident side couples as well. That is a Why a 9/10. I’m waiting for more on them as well.
10. I just strongly believe this is not a 7.9/10 kinda drama. I got super sad looking at the rating. THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT. And the actors deserve so much credit for going ahead with producing something new. I REALLY LOVE THAT this is one helluva COMFORTING UNIQUE WATCH. (Atleast for me) It’s really got a very nice energy to it! Watch it!!
Hope you enjoyed the review,
Good day pals;) <33

YOU MUST WATCH IT AND RATE IT FAIR!

Omg. I’m speechless.
This was one beautiful one I found after I almost gave up on gmmtv and thai bls.
WHAT A MASTERPIECE.
THERE IS NOTHING NOT TO LOVE.
EVERY SCENE IS MAGICAL AND IS SUPER SOOTHING.
THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS TO DIE FOR.
THE ACTING IS INCREDIBLE. ESPECIALLY EARTH’s. I wish they didn’t make mix cry so much but other than that THIS ONE IS IT.
IM GONNA WATCH IT EVERY NIGHT.
AND LET THAT MAGICAL MUSIC - (NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE OSTS ARE) PUT ME TO SLEEP.
I have one thing to tell you.
WATCH IT.
AND HELP THEM BRING BACK ANOTHER SEASON.
<3 #phapundao #showsomelove #its time to give credits to such good bls. Cause it’s not fair when ones which are barely good enough gain so much popularity when these kinda good ones stay underrated.
THIS IS WORTH IT. Love y’all!

hi everyone! first of all think this is one of the best series i have watched and trust me you definitely shouldnt miss this.
i really dont get why it has a lesser rating than 2gether the series and all that because this is honestly so good. the plot description sounds kinda weird but trust me it has nothing to do with the series.

STORY:
this is basically the story of tutor and fighter and the best part about this entire series is the fact that the main leads get majority of the screen time. but there is also the second couple yo also wanna watch with the right amount of screen time too. but honestly the 2 main leads portray their emotions so well its absolutely diificult to take your eyes of them. honestly the plot only gets better and i dont wanna ruin the story for you but this is a definite msut watch with one of the best on screen chemistry just as good as mewguf;)

ACTING:
Acting is absolutely done right from the 2 main leads and second main leads. OH AND THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

MUSIC:
The unique thing bout why r u is the fact that they dont try to drown the emotional scenes with the music. instead let the mood and atmosphere be its own music just like they say sometimes silence is the best music. but the theme song and there a bunch of other songs which are just very nice to listen to.


AND I WILL DEFINITELY WATCH THIS AGAIN.
hope ya'll find this useful. and please do watch!!
I'M WAITING TO WATCH THE LAST EPSIODE AIRING NEXT WEEK BUT EVERYTHING Z GOOD ALREADY. THE LAST ONE WILL JUST BE A WRAP-UP.

Why I Rated ABAY a 7/10

Okay, it's been a while since I wrote a review but here we go. I started watching this show with very high expectations. As an avid Chinese drama viewer and a fan of Xu Kai, I must say I came with pretty high expectations.

What was good?

1. Acting
The actors did an amazing job! I loved the cast, they were very true to their characters, and overall did an amazing job portraying the characters.

2. Music
The score for the show was really good as well, a sign of amazing shows. Th opening OST is on my playlist already and was mostly fitting for any situations they played it during the episodes.

Why the show was a led down?

1. My primary reason for why this show was a let down was the frustration that an amazing cast was stuck between some politics/ deliverables they had to meet beyond the screen AND it showed. I'm not sure what it was but it felt like even minor roles had to be portrayed across as major roles. This meant UNLESS you were someone who likes to be invested in every single one of their story and romance, you're not going to enjoy this. The plot was not exciting, especially during the first half of the show. This had nothing to do with their slow romance, but all those Filler scenes with mundane conversations, drinking alcohol, etc. There was numerous times when Ji Xing and Han ting will be on screen for literally 30s and they just wave to each other and there's a very obvious cut. This plot and this Novel could've been executed much much better! It's overall a 7/10 kind of show for me. I would not recommend it unless you're someone who enjoys having to watch three couples with equal interest.

-----------------------------------<>

2. Reason one led to shorter screen time for the main couple. The first twenty episodes, I swear the main leads(the couple) did not even have 5 minutes they were on-screen together as a pair. Like there was absolutely no conversation between them about getting to know each other except for the part they would talk about her startup(or more specifically when he was giving her advice on how to do business)

3. This brings me to number 3. I don't know if it gives you the ick or not, but in an era where it's all about female empowerment, I like to see that on screens. Having Han Ting being literally the same age/closer in age to Ji Xing and yet being eight galaxies away in terms of intellectual abilities was sort of a turn-off for me. They made him the knight in shining armour for the lousy business decisions that came along at times.

4. The Dialogues? Who even wrote these lines? Like the amount of very obvious propaganda between the Lines was just argh and those speeches he gave... not to mention the lines he was saying during the fights? But this wasn't a big deal. You can still watch past this.

5. One of the worst parts of the show(FOR ME PERSONALLY) was the makeup. I get the different beauty standards, but man the way they put on Edward Cullen make up on Xu Kai every time he wore a suit was not appealing at all. I've watched plenty of shows, chinese ones, and I see this often but with so many things being a let down in the drama, I would've expected for this to be a saving grace but it wasn't.


P.S. This Is just my very Own take at the show. I have watched other shows such as Meet yourself, here we meet again, Go go squid, put your head on my shoulder and so many like that and enjoyed them so so so much more than this one. I've watched a couple In a similar genre as well and none of them were this bad. This is just yet another let down, also please don;t come at me with the IMDB ratings. MDL is a more reliable site for asian shows than IMDB. there's like 70 people who've rated this on it, and It's safe to say they're all probably Xu Kai fans. MDL ratings reflect more on the quality of the show. Honestly it's not even a 8 for me, but sure.

THIS IS IT.

I'M LOVING THIS SHOW. IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
TRUST ME. I WILL CONFIDENTLY SAY- TAKE MY WORD FOR IT AND DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBTS.
WATCHHHH THE SHOWWWW RIGHTTTT AWAYYY!!!!


zero toxicity. 100% chemistry. great acting. decent music. and bucketloads of cuteness and addressing taboo as well. and above all so far- no disappointments. I wish there were episodes every day. ;))
I really hope they keep this up!
(IT'S DEFINITELY ONE FOR AN 18+ AUDIENCE , so you little ones please stay away and wait patiently)

a brief summary of the plot:

Leo and Fiat were childhood friends who realise their feelings for each other after plenty of ups and downs and this show takes you through their journey - transitioning from best friends to boyfriends. It's a very beautiful cute and feel good 50 mins.
The side couple doesn't disappoint at all!!! :))
