A Love So Beautiful (2017)

honestly, I don't see cute and lovey dovey relationship between FL and ML. I only see a girl chasing a boy that is very rude to her. He already know her feelings so maybe he thinks he can do whatever he likes to her. What I hate the most is he doesn't even say sorry or looked guilty after being rude and the girl just accept it and forget all about it. The girl is cute and sweet but I hope she can have more dignity or self esteem. How can she still afraid of the boy angry with her even when she doesn't do anything wrong. In fact, the boy should apologize for his rude words. And I really detest anyone who playing with others feeling!

I hope after this episode, I can see some progress in their relationship.

Gotta appreciate, the guy she was so crazy about really was handsome. But I got tired of him and by episode 5, I'd prefer had she go for the new guy who joined her class. Apart from that, she's got a guy friend and a girl friend, both are cute and very likeable... both shall probably end up together, too.

By episode 8, I didn't like the progress. The new guy proves to be extremely likeable (absolutely everything a girl could wish in a boyfriend) while the "dream guy", after hearing the main girl's love confession repeatedly, doesn't reciprocate yet keeps her from starting something with the new guy. Also he accepts another female classmate "courting" him. This has TWENTY THREE episodes and I could see already the screentime would most likely be stretched endlessly by the "dream guy" going a step forward and step back, again. He'll keep being "aloof and enigmatic"... At times doing something to get closer to the main girl, at times doing something to reject her again. I knew the scriptwriter needed to fill a very long screentime. But I didn't find it a proper drama, really. I felt bad for the "new" guy (he actually settles in the group so well as if he was always there).

It proved a mistake to bring the other guy into the mix. Because after 9 episodes, I definitely liked him more than the main guy and even found him more attractive, lol. Then, I wasn't able to further enjoy the main girl's pursuit of the dream guy. I just wanted her to turn back on him and start dating the other guy. Let the dream guy have his lesson (he DID start showing he was jealous) that he can't play the ice queen for too long, lol. But, no. The main girl still acts like a desperate fangirl with the first boy and avoids the boy who made sincere confession to her... Or, she thought he made a confession (when she says she doesn't reciprocate, he takes it back). What a letdown. With the rejected guy all trying to pretend he wants to be just friends, I no longer enjoyed her line with either of the boys.

Perhaps we should really focus on the friendship here, as romance proves so annoying... It's been ages since I've seen a good one in dramas, btw. I'm starting to get tired.

Fu*k Li Wei, Save Bosong

The story in overall is good, the character development for jiang chen is good, seeing how he turns from having a cold personality slowly changing becoming a better and milder person, i like chen xiaoxi's determination and dedication (though it's a bit overaggresive seeing that she is a girl), bosong's dedication toward chen xiaoxi and how he tries to make xiaoxi happy, but unfortunately we all know that jiang chen is the main character and without bosong the story would become bland as it would be just another happy go lucky love story that has no room for improvement and character development, lin jingxiao being the best wingwoman in the whole movie is probably one of my favorit part of the movie, and lu yang's funny but pitiful lifestory brings even more colour to the movie, BUT!!! LI WEI, this B**CH and her godda*n friend, we know that a romance story needs a love rival that pisses everyone off but this is overdoing it, the way that she acts, the way that she acts around jiang chen, how she throws her body towards jiang chen purposedly is so damn disgusting (kudos to the wonderful acting though), the way that the author depict the character of li wei as the two faced girl is good but disgusting in some ways, a woman should never act like that, even if she's in love with the man, it's too aggresive and most men would just back-off and the ones that don't are probably bastards, in conclusion i love the story, the acting, the music, and the wonderful relationship between families (especially bosong and his dad), and overall i think it's one of the best drama i've ever watched 10/10 would recommend.

don't waste your time on this

i expected lots from this drama. what a disappointment. the fl is dumb, ml is toxic, sml is too angelic and side characters are the only saving grace.

FEMALE LEAD
the female lead has absolutely no self respect. shes a complete airhead and despite knowing her flaws and her teachers constantly shouting at her about her never doing her studies properly she is not ready to improve or try. literally. never tries. her best friend is a class topper and she ignores that and never tried asking her BEST FRIEND for help. all she wants to do is to pursue the jerk male lead. it was so clear he wasn't interested in her at all but she never gave much thought to boundaries anyways. it got so bad to a point even the ML asked her 'don't u have any self respect' 💀 she's jealous and childish (which is fine to an extent) but she really doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities except being 'kind' like thats it. she keeps harassing the male lead and being so damn annoying i started frowning when she came on screen. ladies you should NEVER be this desperate for a man like i was cringing so hard ew. he humiliated her so she became angry but then he smiles a little and she forgets what self respect means.

MALE LEAD
oh my god male lead. jerk. completely toxic jerk. i don't understand what makes girls like him so much. it would have to be his pretty face cause he has no redeeming qualities at all. he's good in studies and thats it. thats his personality. good in studies. he gets jealous sometimes and TAKES IT OUT ON FL????? and the poor fl is crying after a humiliating incident and he sees something that makes him jealous so he INSULTS HER EVEN MORE???? MAKING HER CRY MORE???????? he's too stony and you would not be able to clearly see the difference in his happy sad and angry face. this guy is actually such a red flag and if yall like any guys like this pls don’t. they're toxic.

SECOND LEADS
only saving grace of this show. her best friend is awesome and other friend is great too. they have lovable strong personalities which helped me not quit till ep7.

but my favorite was the 2nd ML. second male lead syndrome is so real here BECAUSE HE IS ACTUALLY AN ANGEL. im not kidding this guy loves her so purely and wholeheartedly. comparing him to the ML is like insulting the SML. he constantly showers her with gifts and attention and love and makes sure everyone knows he's on her side no matter what. seriously what a sweetheart. i heard he never got his happy ending tho so that sucks.

OVERALL
pls don't try this i wasted hours on this and feel regret now. there are better dramas with similar plots out there.

if u want successful renditions of dramas like this with characters that actually have a good personality and a brain i'd suggest 'when i fly towards you'. very similar plots but very different execution and it's my favorite cdrama for a reason. the characters are really very lovable and the teenage 'youthful' vibe is definitely there too.

YOUR CRUSH CAN LOVE YOU BACK TOO!

I started watching ALSB out of Boredom but I think it's the best decision I took. I love everything about this drama.

This isn't only a romcom, but also focuses on friendship, career choices and much more. If you're looking for a good laugh, watch it now!

As for the ML, Jiang Chen, played by Hu Yitian, is portrayed as cold, rude, inexpressive, shy and introverted. But he has a soft corner for the FL. I understand why many people hate this character, but as an introvert myself, I could understand his actions. He actually liked her, but was too afraid to express his feelings and hence ends up bullying her because that's easy. However at the end he becomes expressive and tells the FL how he felt all these years.

The FL, Chen Xiaoxi, played by Shen Yue is a bubbly, dumb, clumsy and cheerful girl. However her whole personality revolves around Jiang Chen. She wakes up thinking about him and goes to sleep thinking about him, which at some point you might find annoying. However, I really enjoyed her dumb actions to impress Jiang Chen but always ended up being in trouble.

What's really beautiful is that when they were teens, Xiaoxi used to run after Jiang Chen. And when they grow up Jiang Chen ran after Xiaoxi. It really portrays the love they have for each other and it only got stronger with time.

The side characters hold a special place in the story. The story is incomplete without Lin Jinxiao, Lu Yang and Wu Bosong. They have their own story which makes the drama so much more interesting. The drama might appear funny at the beginning, but at some point you might need tissues, I'm telling you!

Overall, I can proudly say I'll watch this drama again. And again. And again. Because it's that much amazing. Don't wait, just watch it if you wanna feel nostalgic!

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!!!

Story: The plot is soo good. I wasn't expecting anything. I thought it was just another rom-com school drama but didn't expect this to be this good. The transformation from teens to adult life is what made me like it even more.

Acting/cast: I like Hu Yi Tian. I also appreciate the acting of the whole cast. I just didn't like the character of the person who played Wo Bong Su. He's not that handsome and if I were Jiang Tian, I wouldn't even be jealous ;P

Music: The music was so-so. Hu Yi Tian has his version of the song which made me like it but not to the point to have actually love it. Maybe it's just not  my kinda genre.

Rewatch value: YESS!! OF COURSE I WILL WATCH THIS OVER AGAIN. HOPE YOU GUYS TOO> :DDD

You have to power-through the middle, but IT'S SO WORTH IT!!

I understand the set up, and that didn't bother me. Though there were a few times during the high school scenes I wanted to shake the FML and tell her to wake up. That said, the lead actress did an outstanding job of somehow making the main character cute rather than a doormat.
But then later, when they're in college, I legit wanted to stop watching because I was so irritated with how the main male character treated the main female character. The only reason I kept watching was to see if she FINALLY ended up with the second male lead.
BUT THEN!!!! OMG! The ending. THE ENDING!!! THE ENDING!!! The ending makes everything worth all the pain and struggle. I've re-watched the last several episodes a few times. Ahh!! It went from a 6.5 to a 9.5 because of the ending. Loved. It.

The best youth drama

This drama is just so precious and pretty that I just HAD TO make an account on this website to review it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AND I'VE PROBABLY WATCHED KAZILLION DRAMAS may it be korean, chinese, taiwanese, japanese, even anime, etc. but this just really comes into my "WOULD PROBABLY REWATCH THIS A FEW MORE TIMES CAUSE IT MADE ME FEEL SO GIDDY & HAPPY." Up to you to not watch it but just know that you're missing out.

PLUS, HI? HELLO? Look at that gorgeous Hu Yi Tian in this drama. I probably would've appreciated it more if had cried. Like a tear would have sufficed. BUTTTTT, nonetheless, I would still rewatch this. Seeing him so in love with a girl in this drama made me just want to find a boyfriend stat. lol

Misleading reviews...

I just don't understand the whole hype over this drama or the very high ratings.

It took 10ish episodes to start getting interesting. It started because Jiang Chen started to show he liked Xiaoxi and would do little things to show that he was interested. I also liked the second lead Bu Wongsu and how he tried his best, but I especially loved how Jiang Chen would feel jealous and threatened by him.

But Xiaoxi is such a nothing, whiny, submissive, pathetic character!

A lot of the series is spent on school life, but because it was hard to connect to anyone, it wasn't particularly moving or interesting, so I began fastforwarding. Only the bits with Jiang Chen showing how he liked Xiaoxi got me squealing and excited.

Then it moved to being in university and they did a LOT of time jumps. There was a lot of in the sky, of the sun or of leaves montages which was just unnecessary.

Very strange writing, odd beats and pacing. It didn't really seem to have much left to go with.

When it came to the last episode, I barely noticed because it was so anti climatic and seemed to not really give any real message at the end. It was nice to see the monologue of Jiang Chen and why he liked Xiaoxi.

Weird writing and almost mediocre in some parts. It could have been done a whole lot better. Very fluffy, and I would rewatch for those cute moments, but the rest is a bit of rubbish to be honest...

Just finished watching this series and she looks like an asian dora the explorer. The characters were funny. The story line was okay could have been better, some parts boring some okay. This series was very predictable and you already figured whats going to happen. Even when they bring in someone you already know whats going to happen. Storyline was definitely from a japanese manga and they just made it into a live version series. Still the main girl looked so much like dora the explorer. Swiper no swiple lol. She looked so much like aba asian dora. Overall the series was ok

La primera vez que lo vi no me llamaba mucho la atención, al principio se me hacia algo lento... pero cuando lo seguí viendo mi corazón se llenaba de cálidez y mucho cariño, puede que muchas otras series traten el mismo tema, pero ninguna ha llegado a mi corazón de tal manera... Cuando vi como avanzaba su amor, mi corazón se hinchaba, sentía que explotaba de amor y cuando las cosas se pusieron difíciles mi alma se rompió, apesar de esto mi corazón creyó en el amor, especialmente en uno tan dulce, bello, puro y hermoso como este. Antes de este dorama solo había visto 1 o 2 y no me habian llamado mucho la atención, pero cuando terminé este sentí que debia ver mil más, primero me lo repetí 2 veces y no paraba de amarlo, me enamoré perdidamente del protagonista Hu Yi Tian que personalizaba a Jiang Chen, se convirtió en mi primer amor asiático, empecé a buscar miles de imágenes sobre él, descargué el OST de la canción y cada que lo escucho solo puedo sonreír con nostalgia, además de que esta me presentó a Shen Yue, la que es hoy de mis actrices asiáticas favoritas, amo su actuación, su belleza, su inocencia, cada serie que realiza me cautiva y esta serie fue el inicio de todo... RECOMENDADÍSIMA AL 1000% <3 <3
