This review may contain spoilers
This drama is one of the best feel good dramas out there. "My Love, Enlighten Me" is defintely good redemption to "Love Equations" which was shown before on Tencent Platforms. This drama is also great following to "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" which was loved by both Chinese public as well as international public.
The strongest point of this drama is definitely Eleanor Lee who is portraying Liu Nuan Nuan. I think I can confidently write that she is the essence of this drama. Her acting is fantastic. As someone who has seen her previous works like "The Big Boss" it was widely known that her comedic acting was already good, but this drama really showed how much her acting skills have developed. Despite that her emotional scenes were exquisite as well. I could relate to Nuan Nuan and her struggle to find something she was good and passionate about. What I like about her character tho is that she knows that her dreams were sabotaged by her friend and Han Che (which she is yet to realize) and because of that she doesn't blindly forgive her friend. Eleanor brought that character to life and brought her own unique colors into this drama.
Ok, moving on to Han Che, who is played by Liang Jing Kang. This character is much more reserved and strict in a sense. Which is a good contrast to Nuan Nuan, who is very overly energetic and expressive. At first he is very reserved to Nuan Nuan, but once he realizes that it was actually her who took care of him, He starts to realize that Nuan Nuan is a kind hearted person. Later on we actually learn why he became so reserved, which helps us realize that he himself had some traumas to overcome. But one big flow of this character is JUMPING INTO CONCLUSIONS... This boy just loves to leave everything unfinished and start acting indifferent to Nuan Nuan. I think I can actually say that Jing Kang is doing a good job, playing the character, his acting still has some room for improvement, but I think this is his best role yet.
Also the chemistry between him and Eleanor is so good. Hopefuly, their relationship will develop more once Han Che will stop acting so immature and learn to communicate properly after episode 14.
I would say that acting of the supporting cast is decent. I think one of the stand outs is definitely Li Ming Jun who is playing the role of Gu Li. Considering the fact that this actor is still a rookie, he is doing fantastic job right now, I will keep my eye on his next dramas for sure. He bought me with the scene where he's baby accessories have been received by him just after he found out that Han Xue's pregnancy turned out to be false.
But one actress whose acting improved since episode 1 till now is Xiong Yu Ting, her acting got much better with every episode and I'm quite interested how Han Xue will turn her life around and get Gu Li back.
Until this moment of me writing my review (which is 14 episode), he is the only current stand out. Other support roles are just out there varying from good and not so good acting.
All OSTs are really good I really enjoyed the title song sang by Li Ren Yu, who acted in previously mentioned by me drama "Love Equations". It's very fitting to the energy of the drama and the bond between Nuan Nuan and Han Che. Eleanor's song is also very beautiful and fitting. Not forgetting ending theme sang by another cast member Liu Yu Ning. Which is also a beautiful ballad, which fits storyline perfectly.
