I recently started watching Korean, Chinese and Taiwanese series.
I really do like the stories and can hardly make myself not wathing the entire thing in one go.
What does bother me are these mothers (specially the one from 'Bap Jal Sajuneun Yeppeun Nuna'. It's sad to see how they use their children, saying they want them to have a good life but probably they just want to show off to the other mothers. About how the kids handle these situations I won't say anything as I don't know if it's exagerated or if this is really still this way.
This series also had some selfish mothers and a selfish father, all of them were just interested in business. Fortunately the kids didn't give in.
Wei Fen Qing
She was able to handle all problems but had no sensitivity.
She would get jealous, mad, worried and knew she liked him. He created so many opportunities where she couuld have admitted her feelings, not sure if a 27 year old would actually react they way she did. Specially not after they had kissed and he had confessed about 20 times before that he liked her.
I wished after the departure of Ting En that she would have yelled at Shao Wei. Even if at the end it wasn't true, but Ting En told her that he was also a reason for his decision.
What really enoyed me was when at the meeting with the lawyer she asked why Ting En hadn't told or asked her. Well she must admit, he had confessed several times that he liked her. She never reacted normally and she also always asked Shao Wei for help.
The scene with the glass door was intense. Oh did I cry, my heart hurt, it felt so real, great acting.
Huo Ting En
Every time he confessed that he liked her and she reacted so brutally, my heart broke for him. To me his acting was so good, it all felt so real. For me it's difficult to believe, that this person does not exist in reality.
When Fen Qing moved in with this family his mum was really rude, I wished he would have stopped that.
I loved the scene downstairs in the lobby, when he told her, that he was jealous.
Meng Saho Wei
A good friend to Fen Qing but also root of so many problems. At some point his selfish behavior annoyed me. If he loved her so deeply, he should want her to be happy.
Meng Ru Xi
She really made it heart not to cheer for her and hoping for a happy end with Wei Fen Qing. She was just fighting for who she loved, no intrigue, she even helped when she knew that Ting En was really not interested in her.
Peng Xiao Bin
That is what I call a real friend. Unconditional loyalty. And I really hoped he would get together with the curry-bread lady.
This is my first review, please excuse if it's not what a review should look like.
I did skip the flashbacks, and I didn't like when the music suddenly stopped in a scene and a new song began.
It is difficult to understand certain things which probably has to do with the cultural differences. Therefore I would love to watch such series with a Korean, Chinese or Taiwanese who knows about the life there.
I never was attracted to asian men but these series.....
So I watched the whole thing in one go and finished it yesterday. After getting so invested I really have the feeling to know Huo Ting En and have a crush on him (I must be crazy). This also happened with Ye Shuwei from 'I hear you'.
I really have to tell myself, that these guys are not real, that they're just acting and that noone is so cute and attentive.
Well I would love to see more of them, it felt so real.
