A Love So Beautiful (2017)

Can honestly say this drama is entertaining from the beginning to the end. The love stories and romance were definitely forefront and beautifully handled but the friendships and formation of their tight crew, was so enjoyable to watch. If I could change one thing, I wish they would of extended the episodes and we could of seen some of that missed time that they jumped thru. I can only remember one song from this drama, not to say that there wasn’t more but apparently they were not as memorable. I didn’t dislike the music or think it was distracting like some other dramas either. Please watch the episodes thru the end, I loved the bonus scenes shown after the episodes. Highly recommend watching this drama. I definitely became a Shen Yue fan after watching, A Love So Beautiful.

The drama is not that bad. Actually, it is really good. The part which I don't like is that the female lead confesses at the beginning. It's not that girl is not supposed to confess at first but it should not have occurred in the first episode. Also, there should be a little sign that the male lead likes the female lead. I mean it is not shown properly at the beginning. I needed to assume that the male lead likes the female lead because they are male and female lead. The story is really good though. It has the perfect amount of drama and suspense. It is just perfect if you don't like ea plain or a very dramatic drama.

Can't stop rewatching

What made love this drama is the natural acting of every character. They really portrayed their character that you can even feel their pain, happiness and even the giggles when their crush glance or look at them. Maybe some of you, think that this drama is just an ordinary highschool drama. A puppy love that blossoms into real and strong love. Well, tbh, it is but what makes it different and outstanding is the feeling that brought to the viewers. While watching, it made feel that I want to go back to my highschool life. It made long for those days I spent with my highschool friends. I just love how it was made. It feels like I watched them grow. It is true, love is so beautiful. Even if it is just a puppy love. Those moments that you feel loved and love, you are motivated to grow as a person. That's what make love so beautiful. That's what make love a unique foundation to change and aim for the better. Aside from this, I also love that they use their own voice not like any other cdrama that used dubbing. The cinematography and the natural effects which made it authentic and feels like you are close to them. I just love this show and it's been five years I'm trying to move on and find some drama that will also give me like this feeling. Well, I can recommend river runs through it if u love highschool cdrama.

Oh, I have such a love-hate relationship with this drama. lol

LOVE
I love how this drama makes you feel. Lol. I looked back to my high school days and relieved the moments when I was like Chen Xiao Xi crushing over the school heartthrob. Plus, Chen Xiao Xi portrayed her character very well. You'd think she's really a teenage girl. I think this is the strength of this drama, it makes the viewers remember those first crushes, first loves that made us all giddy inside. When we thought we will have a happy ever after with them. Even writing this review makes me smile, remembering those happy moments no matter how childish they are. lol

HATE (or dislike maybe? lol)
I hate all the misunderstandings that could have been EASILY resolved if they were more honest with each other or if they just talk it out especially Jiang Chen! You, Jiang Chen! He is the epitome of that smart, but stupid male lead. lol. No matter how cute he is, he is so immature and insecure. He gets jealous of everything when he obviously knows how head over heels Xiao Xi is with him. Sometime, I just wanna smack him in the face to tell him that "the story is pretty simple, why do have to make things complicated!? Can the 2 of you just love, love, love!?" lol

Most people compare this with Love O2O, but I like that one more because that one doesn't have those silly misunderstandings and their relationship is goals--It's balanced and they give and take. If I will compare these 2, A Love So Beautiful is for the immature lovers and Love O2O is for the mature lovers. lol

Filmnya bagus, pertama pemilihan alur cerita yang begitu dinamis denan beberapa flot twist. secara karakter saya juga sangat suka karena setiap aktor dan aktris begitu menjiwai sangat anak muda walapun berbeda beda usia. cast yang menurut saya sangat tepat. secara setting cukup variatif namun simpel dimengrti maksud situasi dalam cerita. dari segi make up dan wardrobe juga sangat pas untuk masing masing karakter. sulit dimengerti waluapun bahasanya bukan indonesia tapi sangat sangat menarik mendengar mereka bercakap-cakap. saya pikir film ini sangat menarik dibuar season 2 nya.

Pretty good

Overall: This was the first C-drama I watched due to the positive ratings. It has been a while since I watched the show so my memory might not be as fresh. The show is very cute and comfortable to watch, a nice cliche. I did have a few issues with it though. I recommend watching it if you want a light drama.

Story:

The story is very typical, not very unique love triangle. There's nothing wrong with it being a cliche either. However, there are certain parts of the show that I feel were underwhelming or underplayed that could have enhanced the overall watching experience. For instance, FL is shown to be a gifted artist at the beginning and during random parts of the show. I think that her being an artist really doesn't have much effect to the plot because they barely showed her doing anything artistic - she only used her artistic skill whenever it was convenient or to make certain plot points work (like with the graduating thing). To fix this, they could have made art a more prominent aspect of her life and show maybe her peers looking down on her because they don't believe art is a viable career, etc. This way, we can feel more of an association between FL and her artistic talents. Another issue I had was that the reason FL started liking ML made little sense to me so I didn't feel much regarding their relation to one another. The characters didn't really develop that much, though, ML did change a noticeable amount as he grew older but honestly I would have preferred if he stayed the same. I didn't really like the way ML behaved as an adult, he changed completely from what we thought we knew about him and became worse (in my opinion). I felt sad for SML a few times because he really sacrificed a lot for FL and didn't really get anywhere with that. There are a lot of misunderstandings and miscommunication between FL and ML that could have been easily avoided. I don't mind dragged on misunderstandings but I also don't appreciate a misunderstanding that drags on for a couple of years without the show SHOWing us the implications/side effects it had on the characters. The show instead just did a " _ years later" then gave a half baked explanation of how the characters felt at the time. Also, ML and FL's relationship was kind of mundane and the show didn't really give us a reason to admire their relationship or to think it's cute or ideal or anything like that, it was just "ok they're dating I guess" vibes. There are a lot more things but honestly I don't want to get too into it because these are pretty much just problems I had and you might not mind these things so don't let this deter you too much,

Acting/Cast:

I think everyone's performance was phenomenal but I didn't really know about Hu YiTian because his character is just cold, pokerface which made me a little bored because even his smile looked neutral 😭 (although it probably isn't the actor's fault since he's playing a pokerfaced character).

Music:

The intro song is nice but the rest of the music is just okay, I also forgot about the rest of the music so I can't say much else.

Rewatch Value:

Well I guess it could be fun to see how ML changed but honestly that's it. It's a very simple plot (nothing wrong with that) which isn't worth rewatching since it's a still considerably long show. With shows like these, there really isn't much after it's over because it ended pretty nicely, IMO it's not a completely full and satisfying ending but it's alright.

TLDR;
- Some plotpoints weren't used to their full potential
- Not much character development apart from the leads
- I like you, you'll know it, is a great song
- Certain plots were glanced over
- Poorly executed misunderstandings/easily solvable misunderstandings that for some reason weren't resolved sooner
- Cute show
- Light watch
- I recommend you watch it

If you want a cute school drama, that's a great one!

I was so excited when I found this drama, so I started it right away! I loved how the female lead was so open about her feelings for male lead, though I would like to see him being a little more open too. To say the truth this was his character, a quiet one, what can we do? I liked their school friends and the fact that we saw them being together in adult life too. Their adventures were so cute! The male lead is so handsome that you may forget how distant he seemed. I liked how he showed more of his feelings towards the end of the drama and I totally adored the second male lead's efforts to win female lead's heart, but the best was his contribution to solve the misunderstandings between main lead couple. All I can say is that the main lead couple's romance is worth watching!
