Love the Wangx2. Watched them OWGM and now this. Awesome Romcom and fun to watch.
The Love You Give Me is another contemporary drama that reunited Wang Yu Wen and Wang Zi Qi together again. Their onscreen chemistry was off the chart in Once We Get Married, and now again in this drama.The script is good and focused on the mature relationship between the two, especially since together they have a son.
I like this drama a lot because Wang Yu Wen's character is a very capable mom and career woman in AI high-tech world, and Wang Zi Qi is an investor who invests in high-tech companies. Hence it makes their work relationship equal, and the kid, Cui YiXin, is so cute and smart playing their son, Min Quan Quan.
I don't care much for the 2nd and 3rd CP because they are unnecessary. It would be more interesting if Dr. Zhou RuJi had been more vocal about his interest in Min Hui; then, it would have made the dynamic of their relationship more interesting. I'm not fond of Yao Zi Zhu's character; she is annoying.
Overall, it is not a bad drama; I look forward to new episodes released M-Th and rewatch them often. I am giving it an 8.5 rating. A couple of songs in the OST are good as well.

Worth your time!!! watch it Sweet lovely drama.
This drama is very good drama, it definitely worth watching. I love the actors and the acting, it got me laughing and tears in some scenes. this drama is definitely worth watching, I will watch it again. it's a good storyline. I was interested from the start.I enjoy watching the actors, that acted in it. I really like how Min hui is very strong independent women and she does not need xin qi to take care of her but still has him to lean on when she need. I love how they are always there for each other and supporting them every step of the way.

Cute Romance, Terrible Pacing
The Love You Give Me started off great and had a lot of promise to be a fun, sweet romcom and it might have stayed that way, if this show had been 20 episodes or less. There was not enough story for them to make this show so long and it felt like the writers were making up for this by throwing in annoying conflicts to keep this couple apart and prolong the story.The lead actors had great chemistry and I kept watching because they were very cute together. The child actor who plays their son was adorable and their little family was very sweet to watch. The dynamic between the dad and the little boy was a highlight of the show.
The enemies/exes to lovers trope was really good and the two actors had great chemistry with each other, but the pacing felt so off with the execution. The tension of them being enemies was over very quickly, he found out about their son so early on, and they moved into co-parenting and being friends within a few episodes! It left very little plot for the rest of the show.
The final third of the show was very irritating to watch. It felt like this couple would take one step forward and two steps back. The other two side couples in this show were very uninteresting and had way too much screen time, especially at the end. I didn’t buy that either of those couples would be together. There was far too much time given to the company storylines that weren’t very interesting to start off with.
The flashbacks to the couple’s past at the end of each episode were really cute but the rest of the backstory was an absolute mess. When they did the full reveal as to what had happened, that was around the time I lost almost all interest in the show. I ended up fastforwarding through the majority of the last few episodes.
If they had significantly shortened this show to focus on the romance and take out some of the contrived conflicts, I would have liked it a lot better. There are great elements - the chemistry of the main couple, the adorable kid playing their son, strong characterization of both lead characters - but it wasn’t enough to combat a lot of the really boring filler.

Second chance romance
-Smart and strong fl-cute kid
-So much chemistry
-enemies to lovers
-one of the good family dramas
There is some parts that will make you sad (lasts 1-2 episodes) and a jump scare then happy ending in the last episode.
Enjoy!

Sweet and endearing!
The Love You Give Me is a fun, endearing and sweet story about second chances.Wang Yuwen and Wang Ziqi reunite, after working in their hit drama Once We Get Married, and prove they still got it. Their easy going and sizzling chemistry remains top notch and carries the entire show effortlessly.
If casting directors want to reunite them for a third time in a drama, they have my blessing. Please and thank you. Watching these two work together is a joy and pleasure.
My one complaint about this drama is that it could have been a few episodes shorter; the antagonist storyline ran too long. But overall this is a solid and entertaining watch you can simply sit back and enjoy. Maybe get mildly frustrated with one or two characters.
The opening and ending song are good as well.
I recommend it!

don’t read this review if you liked the show or plan to watch it
can someone please explain to me why the child was more mature most times than the male lead. lol like how is your child more mature and serious than you? 😭the male lead’s personality gave me whiplash. honestly the storyline in the beginning was confusing but entertaining but then it will downhill from there. i did skip some episodes because i couldn’t do it anymore. if you like childish men then you might like this drama 😍the only good thing about this drama was the female lead and the son. i liked how independent and protective she was of her son even from the dad as a mother should. but also i liked she made him grovel for the mistakes he made and owned up to her mistakes and basically didn’t take anybody’s crap.Was this review helpful to you?

Gostosinha, mas não espetacular!
É gostosinho de assistir, mas não é nada demais.O enredo até que começa bem, gostei pois a Prota é forte e não submissa, mas achei que depois as coisas ficam muito arrastadas, o que faz com que seja difícil terminar.
Uma relação que se iniciou por um desentendimento e que se separaram, por um tempo, por conta do mesmo. Entendo que é complicado confiar numa pessoa depois de uma mentira, mas a mesma queria a todo momento se libertar da mesma, mas o próprio cara teve um treco depois que ela tentou. Então como não ter medo depois dessa situação? Achei que ele foi muito infantil de não ter buscado enxergar o lado da versão dela. E ainda bem que ele não foi totalmente tosco quando descobriu a parternidade, pois ele mesmo admite que se ela tivesse contado na época não saberia se sentiria confortável pelo fato de ser pai. Em decorrência das mentiras e da sua doença, que acabou até sendo transmitida para seu filho.
No mais achei bonito o desenrolar do amadurecimento do amor deles. E o personagem infantil é muito fofo.
Contudo não acho uma história surpreendente, vale a pena assistir se quiser passar um pouco o tempo.

Romantic and cute series from China
A typical romantic comedy/drama series. Maybe a bit slow, they could have cut a number of episodes.A plus for the female characters who weren't as silly as they tend to be in many similar Chinese series. The lead has a clear character and role in the series that isn't just being a romantic object to the male lead.
Maybe didn't leave any deeper traces behind, but absolutely worth watching within the genre.

Are we watching the same show ???
Before watching this I saw the comments,and wow people are really bashing the FL. But at no point during the drama did I feel she was irrational or not right in her stance with the ML. People really want the FL's to be a doormat or what. The ML had good character development from the first episodes. Like this is what a story should be , she is supposed to make him work for it ...Watch it for the chemistry,the sweet little child and strong FL ,who don't go back just because ML decides he has had enough of hurting her .

Great chemistry although a few things feel unrealistic
In general, it's a great love story. The chemistry of the main couple is no joke. I can feel love all in the air when the two are together. And the boy is just so adorable. ^^However, there are a few things that feel not real in this series. For examples:
First, the female lead seems too talented and confident to exist. How can she just attend a company as an ordinary employee and get promoted so fast to a manager within only 2 years, when she's a single mom and her son even has a heart disease? It means she would have to worry about him, take care of him and stay at the hospital all day every now and then. Of course she can ask her neighbor doctor to take care of him but that's the thing that feels not real. Doctors are busy all day and have no fixed fee time, and as a mom, she would worry a lot about his son when she's sick. Heart disease is definitely not a joke.
Second, the serious heart disease doesn't feel so serious. The male lead can drink some beer, run around all day with the female lead, while running is tiring even for a normal person.
Third, the kids at the kindergarten are so mean to the son of the couple and his teachers did nothing to protect him. When he had a big heart surgery. Instead of cheering him up, the kids called him a monster and bullied him and the teachers just ignored it, and the female lead also did nothing to protect his son. As a mother, the female lead also didn't protect him in some other cases. It's very strange.
Also, the supporting couples feel a bit forced, and I don't feel any chemistry between their characters. One couple is just about physical intimacy, and the other has a better story (the doctor and the ballerina) and quite entertaining, but it still feels a bit forced.
Besides, about the brother of the dead mutual friend of the main couple, he's not a kid anymore, yet immediately wrongly blamed the female lead for his sister's death just by listening to the passengers of the bus who were all traumatized in the accident? And he blamed a passenger instead of the bus driver? Normally people usually blame the bus driver first before everyone else in similar cases.
There are a few more things that are on my nerves but I'll leave it here. And because I love the main couple and the boy is so adorable, I still adore this series a lot. ^^

i don't like the 2nd and 3rd couple
I was hesitant to watch this drama because it's quite difficult to watch romantic dramas because sometimes it's difficult to meet my criteria, but it turned out to be good and interesting.Since the first episode it's been good and I like how this drama makes the story even more interesting. The actors' acting is also good, even down to the little child's acting, he is truly a genius.
but I really don't like the Chinese drama culture which makes the second lead couple also have a lot of screen time in dramas. because sometimes I feel like it's not necessary, it's just normal and focusing on the main character is actually good. Because the second lead CP actually made this drama boring, I skipped all their scenes.

A solid 10 stars drama!
Wangwang chemistry is so natural and so comfortable to watch! This is their 3rd drama together since 九州天空城2 and 只是结婚的关系 and i'm praying they get to work together again. What I love most about this drama is, the trust, love and support Ziqi and Minhui have for each other. They truly only want the best for each other, doesn't cross lines and know how to respect each other's decision. Of course, not forgetting Quanquan who is the glue that brings his parents together again after 5 years <3 The comedy part is also matched to my humor level especially scenes between Ziqi and his secretary, Hardy. Pure comedy. Can't believe I finished this drama in just 2 days, already missing them T_TOSTs are also really good, been on replay for the past days!
