OMG - Why the hell this drama was made. STUPID PLOT and Unrealistic. Grr........
"Love Me, Love My Voice" is a rom-com drama, but there was no drama. After I had invested my valuable time in watching 16 episodes, I decided to drop it and not waste any more of my time. I should have dropped it sooner, but I hoped it would improve because it is a slow burn. It turned out to be a big disappointment.Tan Jian Ci played a doctor, Mo Qing Cheng, but in real life, he is a voice teacher named Qiang Qing Ci. None of his students knows what he looks like in real life except for Gu Sheng/Sheng Sheng Man, a voice student played by Zhou Ye.
This drama is so stupid and unrealistic in so many ways:
1. Mo Qing Cheng is a surgeon busy with his medical career, but the drama does not show his job as a doctor.
2. Instead, it showed his hobbies as a voice teacher and a cook.
3. The whole annoying drama is about his voice career and eating.
4. I was not impressed with Zhou Ye's character and the actress who portrayed her.
5. The on-screen chemistry between the main CP was not great. I like the 2nd CP better.
6. There was no drama or conflict between the main CP, which is annoying.
7. Tian Jian Ci is too short as a male lead. I like him better in Lost You Forever.
Why does China even bother to make this kind of trashy drama? I give it a 4.5 rating because of the stupid and unrealistic plot.

Utterly Childish.
I only watched this because I really liked Tan Jianci in Lost You Forever. I wish I hadn't bothered. Absolutely ridiculous story. A doctor with so much time on his hands that he can do voice dubbing and seemingly take time off whenever he likes! Also, the main leads are supposed to be 29 and 22 years old, but after officially dating for weeks she's still afraid to apply anti-mosquito bite cream to his arm. Please!Now let's talk about the eating. The female lead is supposed to be a foodie. The male lead is also a first-class chef (as well as being a cardio doctor and a "god" of voice dubbing, so they eat, and eat, and eat. But she's still as skinnier than most cdrama stars are (and that's saying something) and never gains a kilo. The whole story is absolutely unbelievable. After LYF, I can't believe TJC would do something as awful as this.
Do not watch this series if you are older than 13.

Insipid drama.
Boring, flat and monotonous drama. The plot is based on nothingness itself, they give us the love story of a Superman and an Invisible Woman, who speaks little, does little and only knows how to say "I don't have enough experience, I'm afraid of disappointing you And she really disappoints, she looks like an overly spoiled 10-year-old girl who dresses like a 65-year-old lady. There is no adrenaline here, there is no breaking point, no conflict, no antagonist, no tests to overcome, everything develops without taste, without smell and without color , flat, boring, sleepy. And indeed in the episode 19 I fell asleep and then abandoned this, it is absolutely not my cup of tea. It's good to have communication and get along but I want to see how this chemistry works when the couple faces a problem or conflict and this doesn't appear in the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Lovey-Dovey Foodies with Chinoserie Songs in the Background
This is a slow paced, feel good drama with a high budget that paid for beautiful scenery, good camerawork and spectacular music numbers. Our main couple is a pair of quiet and talented people: a famous and mysterious voice actor and a promising young composer and singer. I had an amazing time watching the drama and listening to the OST afterwards. It made me want to travel to Guilin and learn how to cook more Chinese meals.For my personal taste, I would have a like more dynamic in the main couple relationship, even without breakups is possible to make the protagonists struggle with outside factors - like disapproving family, unwanted suitors, etc - and grow as people and as a couple because of it, On Love Me, Love My Voice, everything happens kind of easily and our couple do not even sweat for it. Another thing that I would like was to have more screen time for the secondary couples, especially the tanned, strong but shy older voice actor and the bright, youthful protagonist's best friend. I could not imagine more different people but they were strangely appealing.
If you liked the voice acting theme, I suggest: I Hear You
If you liked the slow paced romance without breakups, I suggest: Love 020

Lovely romantic, musical, culinary and tourist trip
Very cute series, with the slow evolution of the relationship between a famous but anonymous voice actor (also a cardiologist), and a young FL, student, composer and singer online. The context essentially revolves around a dubbing studio and its team.The story tells this very slow-burn romance (1st kiss episode 19 :), in a poetic, gentle and sensitive way.
PROS:
+ I love ML. He's the BEST boyfriend, attentive, respectful, handsome, talented. Green flag !!!
+ The voices are important and well highlighted.
+ Particular care is given to the images, the costumes (very beautiful, particularly the FL's dresses), the landscapes, the framing.
+ The OSTs are awesome
+ The storyline is gentle: no twist, no villain or love triangle, no break-up.
CONS:
- I don't think there is such a perfect boyfriend in real life :( :(: respectful, super devoted, ultimate caring,... and with the patience of an angel!
- The FL is a little bland. She's shy, OK. But her character doesn't "shine", doesn't evolve.
- some characters are excessive: the cousins' hyper-protection, the shyness of the undeclared lovers,...
=> Series which allowed me to rediscover Tan Jian Ci, whom I would like to see again in contemporary romantic series.

Joli voyage romantique, musical, culinaire et touristique
Série très mignonne, avec la lente évolution de la relation entre un voice actor star mais anonyme (cardiologue aussi), et une jeune FL, étudiante, compositrice et chanteuse en ligne. Le contexte tourne essentiellement autour d'un studio de doublage et de sa team.
La story retrace cette très slow-burn romance (1st kiss épisode 19 :), de façon poétique, douce et sensible.
PROS:
+ J'adore le ML. C'est le TOP des boyfriends, attentionné, respectueux, handsome, talentueux.
+ Les voix sont importantes et bien mises en valeur.
+ Un soin tout particulier est accordé aux images, aux costumes (très beaux, particulièrement les robes de la FL), aux paysages, aux cadrages.
+ Les OST sont géniales
+ La storyline est douce : pas de twist, pas de villain ni de triangle amoureux, pas de break-up.
CONS:
- je doute qu'il existe un boyfriend aussi parfait dans la réalité :( :( : respectueux, super dévoué, attentionné ultime,... et d'une patience d'ange !
- La FL fait un peu fade. Elle est timide, OK. Mais son personnage ne "brille" pas, n'évolue pas.
- certains personnages sont excessifs : l'hyperprotection des cousins, la timidité des lovers non déclarés,
=> Série qui m'a permis de redécouvrir Tan Jian Ci, que j'aimerai revoir dans des séries romantiques contemporaines.

very boring show .
I really do not like the show because it has no story at all . two strangers who did not even meet each other , they just fall in love because of their voice . there is nothing except for messaging on phone , smiling at each other , eating food and traveling .In this drama , all the casts life are so easy and unrealistic . the female lead character is also annoying because he sees Qiang qing ci as his idol not as his boyfriend whenever he tries to touch her she is so nervous i sometimes feel like he is harassing her .
story somehow feels like a dream story for a girl , as he gets a good looking , rich , simple , famous boyfriend with no fault , who can even cook and never dated before . i mean , is the writer living in her dreams ?
story has same faults as of love 020 and i have to drop both dramas .
because of lost you forever i have high expectations for tan jianci in this drama , but because of boring and unrealistic story i can 't continue anymore .. lets meet him in love has fireworks ..

mismatch feelings
Greetings, everyone! I recently enjoying a delightful and uncomplicated drama. The actors portrayed their roles with grace, and the narrative showcased a seamless transition as the characters got to know each other. The film beautifully visualized mutual respect for personal boundaries, emphasizing the genuine care they showed for one another, particularly during moments of need. The only minor drawback was a repetitive discussion about the same recipes, which, while a tad off-putting, did little to detract from the overall charm of the storyline.Was this review helpful to you?

Should've been shorter and sweeter
I have nothing against the actors, I've completed and loved them in their own dramas.Zhou Ye in Word of honor and Scent of time, Tan Jianci in Under The Skin and Lost you forever 1.
Zhou Ye's character in this, Gu Sheng, is a composor who covers and arranges classic Chinese style music, she also sings and does podcast type shows.
The main ship first meet when Gu Sheng is in her chatroom and Tan Jianci's character, Mo Qing Cheng suddenly comes in and his voice tells her a recipe.
They both have online secret identities they use to voice and sing stuff, so there's alot of secrecy and it's basically a cheesy secret identity trope.
I enjoyed it at first, it was light, quite low/nonexistent bad drama, plus they were sweet together.
One of the main things I started to dislike about this drama was I feel it could've been much shorter. With how the story was feeling to me they could've had less faff and forgettable scenes and gotten the important story done in less then half of the 33 episodes this drama has.
The length and what the drama actually has going doesn't draw me in enough to commit to watching it all in it's entirety.
Another thing was Mo Qing Cheng was such a busy character, it felt almost unrealistic how much he was managing to do. His almost constant smiling and just in general people pleasing vibe made him feel almost flat. Compared to Tan Jianci's others roles this was my least favourite.
By the time I'd finished episode 13 I was starting to lose interest, the relationship had gone into secret meetings and almost kissing but being interrupted, a trope I didn't think I hated but in this it all feels so plain and so slow yet not slowburn.
In conclusion this isn't the worst drama ever but in my opinion it's a bit of a nothing drama. Could also be called too much of not alot or enough.
Was funny and sweet for abit but I don't want to watch all 33 episodes of it being this flat.

Worst drama with no story
This is one of the worst drama I have seen till now, I did not even know how it gets this much higher ratings...It feels more like a dream of a teenage girl where he gets a perfect boyfriend who is good looking, Best at cooking, popular, gentle, ...
We all know these types of things are nothing but imagination and I really do not like these types of dramas.. I always prefer dramas who are at least realistic...
In this drama everyone's life is so easy, cool but I prefer drama where we can see how to endure hardships..
Worst drama ever...

A cute fluffy romance
Just 10 episodes out for the moment however, the story is lights and so sweet. The chemistry between the leads is so cute since the beginning. I really like the relationships surrounding the leads, wether its GS and her family, or her roommates or bandmates or MQC with his friends or colleagues.I'll update after a few more episodes, however for the moment this drama only add a little bit of sweetness in your life.
There hasn't been any moments of stress nor any moments where you want to punch a character or erase it. All of them are really cute and nice.
I also find it interesting to see the world behind the dubbings of dramas.

It’s NOT GOOD
Many reviewers here are loving it- calling it light fluffy no frills drama. No frills yes, but oh SO BORING!! Yes that’s what it is- dull and boring.I love sweet and fluffy dramas! But this-The storyline is flat. There are scenes where it’s like a cooking class, teaching the audience what recipes to use for various Chinese dishes. Then there are scenes where it’s like documentaries - educating the audience about Chinese culture and history. The cast actors are mainly voice actors- so again it’s like they are educating the audience what do voice actors really do, and why they are important to society.
The romance and chemistry is quite sweet, but really not enough to keep me going. Just too difficult to continue watching this.

If there is anything to love, it's the freedom to drop it and never look back
It is always sad to see a drama have so much potential and then lose all of it in the first 3 episode, this could have gone so far and done so well instead it stayed right where it started, stagnant, dull, annoying.I have watched 16 episode and there is no character development, no plot, no plot twist, no plot development, no obstacles, no setbacks, no punch, no pull. It is just a bunch of 'designed to be cute fluffy' moments strung together in a pretty backdrop with pretty people wearing subpar clothing and eating overhyped food.
*It is less like a drama and more like a food blog, a side of recipe with too much useless shit around it.*
The romance started unrealistic, gave a glimmer of hope and fell flat. It was so repetitive and so mind numbing. The least they could have done was shown some character development in the romance part but no, Mr Mo almost looks predatory when faced with Sheng's exceedingly childish reactions. I get shy, I get first love and the jitters of first relationship- this was not that.
I had hopes from this show and the trajectory of the rise, decline and death of those hopes would have made a better drama.
If anyone wants to watch it still, I suggest watching highlight compilation on youtube, if any. It would be a better use of your time for an equal, or better, enjoyment and returns.
