Yes, the main couple is cute but I fell for the second
This drama was so cheesy that sometimes I felt a second hand embarrassment. If you want romance with no one to meddle in, this is for you. Over here everything is so likable from the beauty of the leads, passing by the second leads that steal the show to the scenery.
Let's start by praising the story: very simple, warm and gentle. I love how easy to follow it was, the characters were super likable, there was no crazy love triangle, not crazy second leads and very nice in laws. Maybe the only issue here, like in real life itself, is our own insecurities when it comes to love and dreams. Here are the number of things I loved from this drama:
1. Talking about those insecurities, I think the leads portrayed it very well. Even if you are someone in your 30s, professional and with a very good life, you can have it. We are not perfect, we are all humans and I really liked how this is shown in Liang Chen's life. She had an amazing career but not at all as she wanted to and she was always afraid of hurting people next to her. Her love story with Lu Jing was so simple that it was there from the very beginning, never broke up, never had a fight, everything was so easy to deal with because, that is a healthy relationship! learnt it!
2. Lu Jing, was an amazing character, that's how you get an older woman to like you. He was mature for his age, caring, gentle, sweet, respectful but not silly, he was not naive at all and very had tons of passion. I loved how he understood very quickly when he had make a mistake and how he tried to fix it. I adore how he was never manipulated and very smart in handling situations, I've to say we all want a partner like that. And man he knew how to sweet talk everything and how to kiss, amazing. Honestly? everything about him was confidence, he knew he could get it and he got it. That's how everything worked in life for him.
3. Jia Yun was a very sad character here, to talk about loneliness and success... He wasn't assertive enough to get the woman he liked, he was afraid because he knew she will reject him, she had never liked him back and he already knew it. However, he was a good second lead, respectful and a very nice friend.
One of my favorite scenes was when FL compares them, she knows Lu Jing will leave everything to love her but Jia Yun, as a grown man was more focused in his career and will love her but not with the same passion he loves his success, anyone next to him will be only a small part of his life. And that's the reason why she decides not to date him. After all Jia Yun was a very successful man and can get anything he wants but his career is first for him, which is not bad, he was an amazing actor.
4. If you like the first couple with their easy love story, prepare yourself for the second because that thing will show you how persistence actually work.
I love the second couple, I adore them and they were my favorite. I will tell you why:
At first I didn't like Shan Shan, that girl was beautiful but too cold for me to like. I couldn't understand her attitude but then after her story develops and they explain why she is like that... she is my favorite now. Even if they didn't say it, you can tell that girl had depression, depression for years and many will say: it is just a break up, he is a jerk get over it.
But if you ever got your heart broken you can understand her. Her ex stole her time, her love and her music, he made her feel so stup*d and small that she was barely able to do a thing in order to survive. I'm sure she was the most talented out of the group of friends, but she got stuck in that feeling of being small, being nothing, nada, that that's how she was living.
Add to it how she isolated herself, and more than isolation, everyone gave up on her. Do not blame FL or anyone else, but I truly feel sorry for how lonely she was, that is the demonstration that if you do not want to be helped no one can help you
However! crazy puppy Sun Bin Yun appears, out of nowhere, he remembers her, he never forgot her, he admires her because he knows how talented she was back then! and he is the only one that remembers how amazing she is, enough to respect her and help her shine again.
Sun Bin Yun is like that ray of sunshine that never gives up, he is the one that helps her continue with music, with life, that helps her laugh again, have friends and remember how to live. It is so beautiful how for the very first time after years she laughs and it is because of him. But that puppy is to shy and can help her, take care of her and do anything for her except... confess his feelings. And I really like how she takes that step into romance for the sake of both of the,.
She composes, she makes music and she starts living again.
The only thing I don't like about this drama was that, they deserved more time in the screen, I deserve to watch fluffly love scenes between Shan Shan and Bin Yun, please.
All in all, I like it, I love it, I enjoyed it.
Plus: I don't dare to say this drama was a slice of life, because it is not very common to fall in love with your idol in real life. However, we've all dreamed about it at some point, so it was very sweet to see this in a more down to earth drama.
