most DAZZLING drama of the summer
Finally! The perfect drama for the summer came out. I am not just saying that lightly either..... let me explain...
Summer is more of a feeling (for me) than a season. It is sunshine everyday, ice pops, and a whole three months of relaxation. What that would come out to in drama form is the 2026 Drama - Dazzling.... and I can't say I even expected this one to be that good.
Beginning the drama I honestly wasn't all too invested, that being that I thought the female lead Qing Ye, was unlikable. Now watching up to what I have I can say that it only proves the sentiment that you 'can't judge a book by it's cover', and for dramas that means.. you can't judge a show off one episode. Now I know you can and people do, and that is fair, but most of the time a drama- being as many episodes that they are - usually are written to be watched entirely. Some aren't, but this one is 100% a drama that has a beginning, a middle, and an end. I credit that to it being from a novel, which most of the better dramas are sourced from. They have the right framework or 'script' to work off of, and the right amount of tailoring can make a drama truly incredible. For now, this drama is 'dazzling' (haha)
Qing Ye is a headstrong girl, and on the first episode or two she comes across as someone with standards so high that it gets annoying. I realized that the drama did it on purpose, made her so petty to begin with because she simply is. Qing Ye is very spiteful of her situation, and honestly didn't deserve to be relocated at all. Her parents were the ones that screwed up, and as a result she has to be moved away to avoid the controversies. This sets up a lot of questions, her being so uptight that it: why is she that way? And how did she get to be that way? Because despite that, Qing Ye is really a sweet girl. Since the drama had committed the first few episodes to her being bratty, it really pays off when you see why she is that way. So I would say she is written very well, and it is a tricky slope to go onto when writing someone that can be childish have these high standards at first. Again, since it was committed, it becomes all the more believable when she has her mellow moments and grows a deep connection with Xing Wu, the male lead, in such a short amount of time.
The first handful of episodes are the perfect summer season. It's almost like a dream, and it's bittersweet when it wraps up upon the 7th episode. I want to see more, but know that the drama has a lot more to show. That Qing Ye's summer only just started, and now having been with Xing Wu, she becomes less materialistic and can have fun even with simple things. I really like the way that their relationship is set up and starts off also.... there is so much to say for a drama that only just aired.
What I can say is that it has a good story, has a good cast of characters, pretty much has all the things a drama needs to succeed.
