A REALLY GOOD SHOW BUT I HAVE SOME COMPLAINTS
a really really good drama the build up and the acting , the pacing and the story are interesting didn’t feel bored at all throughout itthe first drama i didn’t fast forward through that much especially during the sports scenes ( all thanks to wang’s amazing acting as usual )
but the last two episodes were rushed especially that he returned to china they should’ve at least given us one last championship with the national and with the sport scenes and her cheering in the front row ( either national or asian championship) with him holding the gold medal and giving to her as he was promising from the beginning
about the lead’s character he should’ve been a bit mature and stopped the tantrums and the marriage proposals
the romantic scenes were so adorable and the chemistry is out of this world the kisses and skinship were 1000/10. but the lightning got on my nurves a little. and the fact they didn’t talk about him jumping off a bridge again was weird ( she didn’t even scold him?? )
about the supporting character i loved how the roommates are supportive and the SML wasn’t toxic ( i loved the relationship between SML and le gue I adored xia she was cutte )
but overall this didn’t turn me off on the show still one of the best older woman younger men cdramas

athletics, romance, age gap, good chemistry and vibe
Falling Into You 2020 - 8,5/10 -cdramacute, age gap, sport, college romance drama between athlete and his trainer.
Its quite nice romcom with very good chemistry where younger ML pursues FL. Though from mine opinion FL fell for him at first sight there.
This drama aint very much about college life, but more about classic sports like 100m sprint, high jump etc
plot - ML got dream to become world class high jumper, but he is hindered by his height. Though every coach tries to make him give up on his dram and change into different discipline where his height wouldnt be problem such as sprint. ML preserves and through his diligence and charm he manages obtain professional guidance from FL which is assistant coach at his new university.

8.4 overrated just fit as rating for the first half of story in sports scenes NO FOR ROMANCE AT ALL
I wanted to give a try for this drama for being a noona drama and the poster showing like something greatly tailored to make a piece of great drama BUT I WAS DISAPPOINTED in fact...The story is not based on interesting plot that I can say I am feeling the exciting element to continue watching the next episode.
My problem with this series is there was not a coherent story maybe based on the genre and the romantic part is not well written due to the bad script written in this side.
The chemistry between leads had been irrational from the female lead who was not accepting the male lead being younger to suddenly being a secret couple and the male lead who is in some way childish with his over jealousy as to possess the female lead and she must had the hint of him wanting to confess to her.
The scene where the male lead jump off the bridge when the female lead is not responding to his feeling to choose him as suitable for the high jumping team, had given a support to increase the rating for me OTHER THAN THAT JUST the sports part was greatly done too.
The part that I just say the best in the series is the competition of high jumping and sprinting where the hard working character of male lead is greatly shown to make the female lead proud of him.
The male lead had exaggerating feeling expressions in shedding tears like a child snatching away his doll and this jealousy of him that I didn't seen portrayed to this extent for any actor but not bad.
The male lead was too nice for the female lead and sincere and honest for his feelings that she had a poor sense of mutual feelings exchange.
The male lead was better than the female lead in acting in my opinion because he was over caring for her and the other wasn't enough a well matched as couple for him.
The support characters had well portrayed the youth sportive that is I can say too is a part that was greatly acted.
THE STORY FROM THE TITLE MEANING SHOULD FOCUS ON THE ROMANTIC SIDE MORE THAN THE SPORT and for me the romantic side was the worst in this drama what makes me dropping this one other than that maybe I shall continue this.

Easily becoming my favorite contemporary Chinese drama, "Falling Into You" does the Noona-romance trope right. Coming on the heels of "Why Women Love", Gina Jin again plays as the "older" woman being courted by a much younger man, it's no wonder that she has this role down pat. It's my first time watching Wang An Yu and he's pretty convincing as a love-sick puppy who's chasing around his master/mentor. Bonus points that he also acts the part of an all-around "jack-of-all-sports" who has to overcome the prejudices of being short-statured to compete in an event that usually favors taller profiles. This drama maybe about the romance between an unlikely couple, but it focuses on the hard work and determination of athletes to turn their dreams into reality despite obstacles. I also liked the fact that they included a secondary pairing that's based more in realism, where Jiang Tian and Yu Xia gave up their dreams of competing nationally to open a noodle shop.

Super hot chemistry
I struggle to remember any drama in C / K drama land which has this level of chemistry between the two main leads with tonnes of kisses as a proof of it onscreen.I swear in episode 23 when they are kissing and she pushes him off the bed: Wang Anyu has a hard on and that is why he pulls his sweatshirt down. Not once but twice to cover a specific bulge in his pants ;)
That is how hot this series is! Perfect for vicarious romance seekers like me.

After watching some clips & seeing leads chemistry I started watching this series.
1st time seeing the leads, they had good chemistry together.Wang An Yu is a good actor, will follow his future project.
I have no problem with older women & younger men. I would like to see this kind of genre in an office-centric series & the sports genre with both leads of the same age. It would be interesting to watch then.
Nothing but You is my 1st series of this same genre & I honestly Iiked Nothing but You more. This is not a bad series, but I did skip some of the scenes.
Duan Yu Cheng is an athlete. He is hard working, good at his studies, but also childish. Luo Na is an assistant coach, mature, determined, she was always there for Duan Yu Cheng, fighting for him, supporting him.
The way Luo Na keeps pursuing Mr. Wang for Duan Yu Cheng was quite funny. Loved her friendship with Wu Ze . They are so supporting & understanding towards each other. After Wu Ze got rejected, he didn't do anything stupid, tried to break them apart, which I loved the most. He understood that they're good for each other & gave them his blessing.
Wu Ze relationship with both Mr. Wang & Li Ge are just awesome. I loved them, especially Li Ge & Wu Ze relationship. Wu Ze sees himself in Li Ge. He tried his best to achieve Li Ge goals.
I liked Duan Yu Cheng friendship with both sports & academic team. Though Duan Yu Cheng & Jiang Tian had a rough start at first, they slowly became friends.
Luo Na & Wu Ze shock face after seeing Duan Yu Cheng's mother. His mother telling Luo Na that they're sisters.
Couch Yang expression after finding out about leads relationship.
Plus point of this drama is there is no side couple.

Plastic surgery
Even if the plot is interesting I just avoid those actresses who look alike because they had their faces redone. That kills the whole serie.I finished watching Down with love with Ella Cheng and that's the kind of actress I want.
It's already difficult for non-Asians to recognize who is who sometimes so when those women have the same face features, it's impossible for me to watch.
And I do the same with non-Asians movies or series.
I love comedy drama with misunderstandings and love that end well.
Please actresses, stop the plastic surgery and find your niche in acting! It's way more enjoyable for the viewers!

Une romande de gamin
C'est pourtant un de mes thèmes favoris, un drama de sport et une romance de Noona. Et pourtant une belle déception.Si le thème sportif a de quoi séduire, disons le de suite, tout tourne autour de la romance et le sport n'est ici qu'un prétexte pour mettre en avant Luo Na et Yu Cheng. C'est dommage, car les moments sportifs sont intéressants et plutôt bien filmés. Je pense que le ratage vient surtout du personnage de Yu Cheng. Ici est caricaturé le personnage transi d'amour. Maladroit, possessif, jaloux et immature, Yu Cheng n'a pas de qualité d'intéressante. Ces défauts auraient pu être des atouts si je n'avais senti désagréablement leur différence d'âge, rendant une romance improbable. Yu Cheng ne semble s'intéresser au sport que pour Luo Na, dépendant principalement des humeurs de son coach. Il y a de quoi faire grincer des dents. Certes, l'humeur du sportif est important et le soutien des siens un gros plus, mais ici, l'impression qui en ressort est que tout est basé sur le bon vouloir de Luo Na. Leur couple est donc frustrant, et les actions de gamins de la part de Yu Cheng ne fait pas sourire. De plus, Yu Cheng n'est utile que par la présence de Luo Na, il n'a pas d'interactions importantes avec les autres sportifs ou les autres coachs, rendant les personnages secondaires inutiles et ennuyants.
C'est donc un drama décevant et qui n'a pas su combiner l'esprit d'équipe et sportif à une ambiance romantique.

SALTANDO ENTRE IDADES E ALTURAS: A JORNADA DE AMOR E SUPERAÇÃO DE 'FALLING INTO YOU
***ATENÇÃO***NÃO HÁ SPOILER EXPLÍCITO, MAS HÁ ALGUMAS INFORMAÇÕES QUE ALGUMAS PESSOAS PODEM CONSIDERAR SPOILER.
Esse drama me pegou de jeito! Ótima direção, ótima OST, ótima trilha musical, casal perfeito. Essa série é realmente maravilhosa! Enquanto assistia aos episódios, senti que nenhum deles me deixou desmotivada ou impaciente. Não ficava louca para que o casal se acertasse logo, e quando ficaram juntos, não ficava temendo que iam se separar. Acho que nunca vi uma série com esse time perfeito. A FL foi real aos seus sentimentos, antes de entrar no relacionamento, ela ficou um pouco hesitante por causa da idade, e isso é super comum, mas a partir do momento que ela decidiu se entregar aos sentimentos, não voltou atrás com sua palavra. Esse casal foi realmente incrível! Amo esse tipo de casal que enfrenta as dificuldades juntos e não termina por isso, que não mente para proteger, isso é o que um bom casal faz. E eu realmente estou apaixonada pelo ML, apesar de novo, ele foi um dos personagens mais realistas que já assisti, comprometido, sem fazer muita birra, convicto de suas limitações. E que atuação espetacular desse elenco, em particular a do LM. A direção também capturou cada olhar que me fazia sorrir só de ver. As músicas se encaixavam perfeitamente em cada cena. E prepare seu coração para as cenas que você quer ver de um casal. Apesar de não ser um drama fofinho, e que bom que ele não é, as cenas de amor são de encher o coração de ternura misturada com paixão. Foi realmente incrível esse drama. Eles também tiveram muito cuidado com as técnicas do esporte, não que eu entenda sobre, mas dá para perceber o cuidado todo que tiveram. E toda vez que o ML ia saltar, levava meu coração junto, em especial uma cena que contrastou entre ele pular na competição e ele correndo para pular dentro do mar. Aquilo parece ter feito o tempo parar por aqui. Só de lembrar, me emociono, uma das cenas mais emocionantes e lindas que já vi em muito tempo. Ah, outra coisa, esse drama não perdeu tempo focando em casais secundários ou terciários. Ele tem um casal secundário, mas lá no fundo, e isso deixou a experiência mais completa. Não estou dizendo que não gosto de casais secundários, mas às vezes me irrito porque eles são muito chatos ou são melhores que os principais. Daí o roteirista não sabe equilibrar os dois casais, e o casal principal fica para trás por isso, e foi essa série que me fez perceber isso. Espero que não percam esse drama.
Agora falarei um pouco sobre a experiência pessoal. Sou casada com um homem mais novo, não é a diferença colocada no drama, apenas 2/3 anos mais novo do que eu enquanto na serie é 7/8 anos. Acontece que sempre tenho receio de ver séries com esse tema, porque geralmente me sinto um pouco incomodada, não sei direito porquê, eles me fazem sentir um pouco mal com minha escolha, mas não esse drama. Esse drama me trouxe bons sentimentos e nenhum incômodo, até o casal secundário me deu bons sentimentos, me fez sentir muito bem com minha escolha. Talvez isso tenha afetado meu julgamento, mas acho que não foi. É realmente muito boa essa série. Acho que é a primeira série de diferença de idade com mulher mais velha que vai para os meus favoritos.
Falling Into You, estou realmente relutante em te deixar ir.

Sympa mais...
L'histoire était sympa ,un theme sur le sport un peu différent de ce que j'avais l'habitude de voir et j'apprécie le jeu d'actrice de Jin Chen . Mais le personnage de Duan Yu Cheng m'a beaucoup moins plus, il a beau avoir du charme j'ai trouvé qu'il était immature , ces réactions sont juvéniles ( oui je sais il est jeune) mais je ne trouve pas que ça cadre avec son histoire avec Luo Na qui est plus vieille que lui. Certains passages étaient à la limite du ridicule.Was this review helpful to you?
