The Early Spring its a 10/10
The acting is SO good, and the chemistry between the ML and FL is everything. I’ve watched every episode twice, and some scenes 3–4 times. It’s just that entertaining! I also love the little details and subtle humor. You really have to pay attention. Like when Flora tells her dog, Luke, to call her "sister," and Luan "uncle." Luan didn't like it one bit. That little jab at his age had me rolling!So many moments show how a facial expression can say more than an entire conversation. Those are the scenes that have made me rewind and watch again, not because I didn't understand what happened, but because I enjoyed the interaction so much. Sometimes, while reading the subtitles, I miss the expressions; other times, while watching the expressions, I miss the words, so I rewatch scenes to get the full experience.
It was a struggle for me to wait between the episodes. I kept checking Netflix for the next episode until I finally realized CST meant China Standard Time, and not Central Standard Time, the time zone where I live. To ease my anxiety about what happens next, I started reading the novel, and it’s given me much more insight into Luan’s background and why he can be so emotionally and socially immature. As the saying goes, “Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.” If you’ve never been shown how to love, it’s hard to give something you’ve never experienced. Understanding his background makes his character and his relationship with Flora even more interesting.
Flora is naive; she's young, on her first job, and only her second real relationship. Both characters deserve understanding and patience from the audience and one another. I already know I’m going to rewatch this one MANY more times after it ends. I give the Acting 10/10. Chemistry 10/10 and Entertainment 10/10.
