Interesting mystery cases with a subtle but sizzling romance
Subjective Gut Rating: 8.25
“You Have My Heart” is an under the radar mini drama. Well, it has no big stars and the budget isn’t big. In a sea of period/xianxia/wuxia dramas out there, rarely anyone pays attention to it. Thanks to a fellow MDLer, this is on my radar.
To me, this drama’s strength is the individual mystery and crime investigation cases. I find these cases creative and engaging. They are not episodic nor do they drag on forever. A few short episodes and everything is resolved. I enjoy seeing ML and FL using their own unique ways to crack these mysteries, both independently and collaboratively.
The acting is also pretty good. Not only are the leads delivering a good performance, the no-name supporting cast and guest roles did a pretty good job, especially for a low budget mini drama. I’ve always liked Zhu Zheng Ting (and he’s the main reason I am checking out this drama) and find his eyes very expressive and mesmerizing. His dual roles are distinguishable and memorable. Hankiz Oman is so gorgeous that I can’t stop looking at her. Her character is a little ‘cool’ so she’s not as expressive. She might not be the best out there to play this kind of role, but she did a fine job. She keeps that air of cool and elegance very well.
The romance is subtle but sizzling. Romance is not the main plot, but Zhu Zheng Ting and Hankis Omar have great chemistry. They are visually stunning, even when not layered with expensive high-budget costumes. I am totally fine with the slow burn romance, and love the few sexy flirtatious words here and there. I could use a little more kisses. The kisses are fine but staged, and definitely could be better. I also wish I could see more loving and coupley scenes in the end though.
My main criticism of the drama is how the small mystery cases intersect with each other and integrate into the bigger villain story. I feel that the conclusion of the villain’s arc could have been better. His defeat seems too easy, even if the moral of the story is not all about his evil acts but why and how he’s fed such power. The last few episodes, though not horrible, are also the weakest.
I would definitely recommend this drama for those who are looking for a fantasy mystery drama that’s not too long. With only 22 episodes and 20 minutes each, this is a great quick binge and an introduction to this genre for new viewers. The low budget production does NOT look cheap at all. In fact, it looks better than some other big name productions.
