I Hear You (2019)

Opposite attract

I would like to point out that the male actor's portrayal in the drama was unconvincing and lacked emotion, which made it difficult for me to connect with his character. His cold attitude was justified only by his supposed genius, which is a shallow and stereotypical approach to character development. As a viewer of romantic dramas, I expect more depth and sincerity from the actors.

Furthermore, the plot was engaging until the point where the female lead decided to abandon their relationship for the sake of studying in Japan, which seemed like a contrived and unnecessary conflict. Long-distance relationships are challenging, but not insurmountable, and the writers could have explored this theme in a more nuanced way.

Leaving someone stranded at the airport is a cowardly and immature act. Such young adult dramas are usually watched by teenagers and young adults and do not depict the right way to conduct oneself in real life. It is important to demonstrate maturity and responsibility in our actions and decisions.

Lastly, the ending was unsatisfactory and left many unanswered questions. The appearance of an old man and a violinist (?) who knew the female lead and the male lead's sudden arrival in Japan seemed forced and poorly executed. While the ending was technically a happy one, it felt rushed and unresolved.

Despite these flaws, I still enjoyed the drama, mainly because of Rosy Zhao's exceptional performance.

So recently I’ve finish watching “I hear you” and although I was excited to watch it at first, I found it to be pretty boring as the story progress. Honestly, it’s kinda cliché. The whole contract love thing is too much. It’s the same old same old, they signed a contract, hate at first and then fell in love. I don’t know if it’s just me but i seen those kind of plot very often. Not to mention the first half of the drama, the main leads seem very distant.

However, I must give credits for the casting. They played their role well.

I wish that there are more scenes between Bei Er Dou played by ZHOU LU SI and Le Tian played by ZHANG JIONG MIN.

I mean it’s not bad but I am over this kind of drama.

Vague ending

I really liked the story and the way the romance slowly developed. The last few episodes were really the only drawback. I get she wanted him to follow his dreams too. What makes little sense is the leaving him at the airport and separating from him in such a confusing and silly way. I get they are young and many chinese dramas make a big thing about sacrificing for the ones you love, but it was unnecessary in this story. The big sacrifice would really only need to be dating long distance for two years. Instead she gives a speech about dreams, gives him back the ring, doesn't break things off, but sneaks away at the airport taking his ticket and boarding pass. A talk saying "hey it's only two years, we can facetime and visit each other while we both do what we need to, then talk about getting married when we've finished" would have sufficed. Finish off with some scenes showing them talking on the phone or him visiting her in japan, then wedding in two years, etc. That would makr the most sense based on the characters actions and behaviors throughout the drama, not this weird and ambiguous ending.

I didn't decide that I didn't like this show until I was almost finished watching it, and the weak ending made me even more decided that I didn't like it. I also can't say that I disliked this show. There were cute moments, and I loved the leads, the writing was just too disjointed. The leads were together for an entire episode before I noticed it. And I didn't notice because they didn't really decide to be together it just happened. It also took a really long time for them to officially be in a relationship so I wanted more happy moments and less manufactured drama towards the end of the show's, but that's not what I got. They crammed a ton of unnecessary drama in the last 5 episodes so even though they had 24 episodes to tell a very simple story, the ending was still rushed and incomplete.

The cast had wonderful chemistry with each other. Not only were the leads great together they had memorable moments with the secondary characters. The relationship between the female lead and her bestfriend, was so well written and fun to watch that I wish the drama had incorporated it more. There is also an interesting secondary romantic relationship involving the two lead's bestfriends that was very interesting, but had an unsatisfactory development.

I can't recommend this one, but if your like me and don't mind fast forwarding when you get bored, the actors are worth the effort.

I watched this drama only because of Zhao Lu Si. I really like her acting. But for this drama, I feel this drama is not suitable for me. I'm confused what makes this drama weird and less interesting. The acting of the cast is quite good even though their chemistry is not that great, in my opinion. After watching a few episodes I watched, I felt the cut scenes were not good and didn't connect well. Many scenes are unnecessary and forced. The story is light and doesn't have much conflict, which makes the drama even more boring.

As for acting, I've always liked FL's acting. ML's acting is good enough but I feel ML and FL's chemistry is not there. The acting supporting cast is good but average.

Besides that, I really didn't like the ending of this drama. Like, well, just like that. In the final episode there is an added conflict but the resolution is very fast and meaningless. It should have ended smoothly but because of a conflict that shouldn't be meaningful it made the ending weird.

Even though I didn't like it, I watched it until the end because I hoped the story would get better, but it actually disappointed me. But that's okay, as a spare time filler.

Give it a try!!

I was hesitant to watch this drama at first because it is not usually included in the list of must-watch C-dramas. But I am glad I gave it a try.

The trailers and the synopsis didn’t do justice to how good this one is. The story is mature enough, which was unexpected given that the lead actors looked young and I have watched them in other dramas before.

I started this drama with not much of an expectation; maybe that's one of the reasons why I enjoyed it a lot. Well, I wrote this review to encourage those who are hesitating to at least give this drama a chance because I really believe it is worth your time.

Definitely need a season 2.
If not, I so want to see the main leads together again.
All hearts for Riley Wang and Rosy Zhao
...................................................................................
The ending was too abrupt if you ask me. And also the progress in the relationship should have been shown as it is not like its a teen drama. The story line was good but the ending was not satisfying at all. It was disappointing actually. They should have given two more episodes at least. Personally, I would love a season 2 and I guess many fans agree to the same. Also, would love to see the couple again together in a a very romantic drama.

Ambivalence is the word that comes to mind after watching this show .Lets start with the good the music,fml,ml and second leads,were awesome..The show,was,captivating in the beginning to where it makes you want to watch.Now,to the boring.the,cliches were too light and fluffy .there was no one,moment I cried that,should say alot considering I feel deeply especially when relate to the characters .I immerse myself into the show but this didn't do it for me.Now,don't get me,wrong i get the college struggle but watt was the main lead guy issue.
Now the second lead I totally get reminds me of those days when I dreant up a relationship only to find out I was the only dreaming.It goes,without saying there is no better time like,the now.
In short if you want to pass time .thus,would be a great one.
Ps: that ending had me in in my feelings'you are my dream'.

If I were writing this review after watching the first 2 episodes this would be a completely different review. Thanks to tenacity (or obsession haha) I never drop shows and in this instance I'm so glad. This turned out to be such a cute show and honestly made me laugh out loud at parts. The plot is so very very cliche, fake romance turns into real romance. I have a love/hate relationship with tsundere type leads and was honestly put off by Ye Shuwei in the beginning. It was actually the mom in ep 3 that shifted the mood of the drama for me. I really liked Bei Erduo and enjoyed the blossoming chemistry between her and Shuwei. I thought Erduo and Liza's friendship was so sincere and genuinely presented to the audience. I actually enjoyed the side story between Liza and Yu Sheng especially because they didn't get the stereotypical ending, although I did not like how Liza's individual story ended. I'm kind of tired of the entitled rich socialite being obsessed with the ML and doing everything in her power to sabotage the FL. Although cliche, this drama has everything that makes a great drama: chemistry between the leads, quality music, quality acting, and quality production. The first 2 episodes are meh to be quite honest but hang i there! It's worth it.

Nothing out of ordinary

This show gets boring real fast. The story has nothing new to offer as it was netflix I chose to watch.
The story is pretty standard, ML who is icy cold character meets an aspiring voice over artist and due to circumstances they had to cohabit and rest is like everyone guessed they fall in love.
This is my first show of rosy to my surprise her acting is really good. As she is young and looks cute I thought she will pretty annoying but acting all cute cute (just like the actress in Intense love *puke*) no her acting is pretty mature. Surprisingly ML riley 's acting is the negative point to the show. As his character is as someone who is hard on the outside but soft inside , he failed to portray the emotions properly. He rather looked tired, bored throughout the show. Rosy completely overshadowed him.
Just watch it if you have nothing to watch and have a netflix account.

Saved by female lead acting

If you are looking for a show that you want to relax without having to go through the roller coaster of all the unnecessary dramas or plots ,this is it the show for you. You just sit back and watch without having to use an inch of your brain questioning what,why,how, .

This show has a potential but falls short and hard due to the main lead. This guy...has to be the worst actor I've ever watched. No offense to his fans, but other than his 'cold looks' ,there's absolutely nothing he contributes in the show. His character is like a robot. He is very stiffed. If the female lead acting is the same as him, there's no way this show will be watchable. The whole time he is just standing there looking into the abyss.

In short, The female lead carries this show. They should all thank her because without her acting (other than few moments here and there),she saved the show big time in a way it makes it more watchable. It's like watching a bad show but you simply can't stop watching because there's a little glimpse of hope .
