Slow moving, but delicious

Are You the One (2024) is a slow moving Chinese drama, which is listed as a Romance Drama. This drama did not meet my 15 minute ‘Love it or Leave it” metric bar. Something was off. Then I saw it. While this Chinese drama is not listed as a RomCom, there is lots of textured comedy in the production. Mentally, I was looking for a serious romance drama, but got thrown off by subtle comedic cues. I had to do a brain reset. This fixed my problem. Are You the One (2024) is a light Comedy Romance drama. This Chinese drama storyline is using a very popular trope of late, which has sworn male and female enemies at a battle face off and the female meets with an accident, which leaves her with amnesia. The male, understanding that you keep your friends close and your enemies closers, takes in the female into his abode and oftentimes pretends to be her husband. I have to admit that I like this trope very much. It has constant elements of danger present, since the female could get back her memory at any time. However, this trope allows for such a seductive launch base for accidental romance. The story is adapted from the novel "Jiao Cang", written by Kuang Shang Jia Kuang.

‘Are You the One’ stars actor Zhang Wan Yi (Lost You Forever) and actress Wang Chu Ran (Fireworks of My Heart). Zhang Wan Yi plays a loathsome character for my taste. He is a self-centered rich royal from the military who does not quite get the concept that some people are human beings. He inconsiderately and uncaringly uses the fallen lady, just seeing and opportunity to get gains and goes for it, no holds barred. Fortunately, there is lots of room for personal growth. Wang Chu Ran plays an intelligent justice fighter, who belongs to a gang of bandits. This gang is at odds with the law as they fight agsinst what they feel is injustice. In addition, she has a very interesting backstory.

Are You The One is popular right now, pulling in 9.7/10 among viewers. This is a drama you may want to add to your list of dramas to view.
