Really Miss You (2023)

Beautiful, romantic and exquisite OST

this is one of the most beautiful dramas i ever seen. It really make me relax and enjoy the music and the romance/friendship in the story. Was so relaxing, without ups and downs bc is a story that make you believe in love and the power to have good friends. love the chemestry between the couple. the acting and performance of Tianci make me acknowledge how spectacular artist he is, singing, dubbing, acting (he even dance but not in the drama). With the craziness of the real life this drama make you step back and enjoy the calmness with one of the best OST i ever know.

Love TJC, Love TJC's voice

Total fluff out of a lovesick teenage girl's play book. ML's a full time doctor, a voice actor at least part time, sings like an idol, cooks like a chef, speaks like a therapist AND never dated. He'll love this girl for years only based on her voice and music without knowing what she looks like but thankfully she's equally hot and pure. That characterization right there already puts this drama in the unplausible fluff category.

It's a very slow & mellow drama with uninteresting interactions between the leads but both are good looking.
The supporting couple is cute too.
Both couples are with significant age gap and maturity gap making the relationships even more unbelievable. Age gap is not noticeable when both people are working, but one is in college & one's been working. Even when the age gap is not a big deal the maturity gap feels huge.

TJC fans will probably watch just to hear his voice. Most of the time this drama feels like a one giant cooking music video.

This show is of course quite good, there are literally no love triangles, misunderstandings or angst, but there is still fun content that's enough to fill up about 25 episodes, unfortunately we had 33. Still the filler is not so bad either, overall it's full of chill swoony stuff. The couples were all great pairings with excellent chemistry. I just feel a bit annoyed how little -meaningful- screentime the side couples had. (especially considering how much filler their scenes could've replaced) One thing this drama did exceptionally well is portraying new couple awkwardness & progress into becoming comfortable with each other. (but then they just had to make several "sleep together in our day clothes prim and proper" scenes to annoy us with)

I've said this before in other cdrama reviews, but saying it again, it felt like I watched an amazing show twice in a row, that's why the rewatch value is low, because I feel I already did it..

Also there were quite a few epic moment opportunities that were intentionally missed. I was really looking forward to some of them too, so that stings a bit. (for example ML meeting FL's cousins, I mean could they have made that any tamer?) Censorship makes dramas like this possible so here it could be considered a net positive, but the blunting effect on the excitement is a bit too much for my taste.

(Also we could talk about how incredibly offensive to women some of these acts of "classic" chivalry are, but hey what else is new? This is still a Chinese drama)

I really liked the proposal scene in this one. I usually cringe whenever I have to suffer through proposal scenes, not here...
---
Overall this is one of the better Asian dramas I've seen this year, but it's very far off from the best ones in the chill-conflictless genre. (in fact 'Meet Yourself' is a 2023 cdrama as well that I think is much better)

Feel good fluff with good music

It’s a very sweet, innocent story line. There are no bad guys, no devastating life events. It shows a lot of the cute awkwardness that comes with a first crush. (Though he was almost 30 and should have been past that by then.) There’s barely even any drinking. It follows the relationships with the backdrop of a LOT of good music. They are musicians and voice actors, so they worked some amazing performances into the story. I found myself getting caught up in those.
In any good romance, the side kicks are key, and these did not disappoint. Hou Wen Yuan and Huang Jing Xian were my favorites. The actors did great, and the characters were adorable. Mumu is an unsung hero. I hope to see a lot more of them both.
And, of course, they traveled in the show so there was some really cool scenery.
The down side: The story itself moved too slow. After almost 6 months of dating, she still ran away when he tried to kiss her. And she never really grew up. It was even more evident in the last episode that she was mentally just a child. While he was cooking for her, planning trips, rescuing her when she was afraid… she just sort of stared at him and smiled stupidly. She didn’t bring much to the table and it seemed a very unbalanced relationship. She was talented, but not much for dating material. That got to be annoying.
Overall, it was cute and mostly entertaining. The last episodes got a bit long and weird but not awful. If you’re up for something light and happy, this is a solid choice.

Une histoire d’amour parmi d’autres

Ce drama était dans ma liste car comme beaucoup j’ai développé un amour certain pour Tan Jian Ci à la suite de son rôle de Xiang Liu dans « Lost You Forever » (Oui, je sais, commencer un drama pour un acteur n’apporte pas toujours que du bon x’D !)

L’histoire ne m’a pas vraiment attiré au premier à bord, mais une romance où TJC à la fille à la fin m’inspirais (séquelle de LYF ? Aller savoir ^^). Je me suis donc lancée et j’avoue ne pas avoir passé un mauvais moment.

Points positifs :
- Personnages bienveillants
- Un milieu qu’on ne voit pas tous les jours : Le monde des doubleurs ainsi que des chanteurs de musique traditionnelle chinoise.
- Pas de jeux, je t’attire, je te repousse (qui sont classique dans les dramas x])
- Les couples sont mignons & non toxiques (important de le souligner xD)
- L’ensemble de l’OST est sympathique

Points négatifs :
- Le personnage de Gu Sheng est rendu trop « prude », elle a 22 ou 23 (je ne sais plus) mais se comporte comme une petite fille…
- Mo Qing Cheng est trop « PARFAIT » ! J’en étais agacée. Oui, il est dans la compréhension et le respect mais il y a des moments ou cela en était insupportable à voir. (Finalement, il est tellement parfait qu’il en devient lisse…)
- La romance entre Jue Mei & Xiao Xing met trop longtemps à se mettre en place (et finalement, ils se mettent en couple sans qu’on le « voie »)
- Peut-être un peu beaucoup d’épisodes pour ce genre d’histoire tranche de vie.

Dans l’ensemble, c’est un drama que j’ai pris plaisir à voir, il ne prend pas la tête & nous avons droit à un beau panel d’acteurs qui savent convaincre. De plus, j’ai fort apprécié l’OST.

P.S. : Si vous avez faim, ne vous mettez pas devant ce drama, c'est la frustration assurée x'D ! (Car on prépare & mange beaucoup dans cette histoire... Quand il n'en parle pas en nous illustrant la recette... Ca serait moins drôle si on ne nous faisait pas saliver devant l'écran... [Comme si Tan Jian Ci faisait pas assez baver... (Ceci était une aparté non nécessaire, je le conçois :D)])

Plotless but addictive... just like eating : )

This show is basically eating, and smiling, and more eating. There's not a whole lot of communication going on, but there's also no problems apparently...

I think this drama is fine. It's a wonderful introduction to some traditional Chinese music and its ideas (often inspired by poetry, landscapes, and utilizing pentatonic notes) as well as some of the tastiest Chinese cuisine (I don't know if I watched this drama for this, at this point). Either way, it's an introduction to a lot of ancient Chinese culture from both the mainstream and ethnic groups (notably in Yangshuo). If you want some insight without having to read articles and do legitimate work, this could be it for you. Oh, I forgot to mention... it does introduce you to dubbing and voice acting, which is honestly quite interesting : )

It's also very sweet. The romance is romancing, and there's a lot of... 'chemistry' going on. I think it's cute, but also a little pointless. It's just cute and cute and cute and then cute again. It gets pretty monotonous and repetitive for me, but I still watched the whole thing. You do have laughs and giggles and whatever else from this drama, and I think it's a fun watch while you're doing it. You don't get a lot out of it though (I think that's the intention, to be honest).

There is no plot. Note that. If you like complex, intricate plots, this is not where to go. But if you want to cleanse your palate after one of those hyper-intense plots, this may help you. It is a little long for how much it talks about though... 10 episodes honestly could've done it for me.

Finally, it did raise a couple of questions for me even as it killed my brain (brain-rot sweetness warning):
Do people really just start liking each other because of the other persons voice?
How do you really understand another person if... neither of you talk to each other?
Why am I never seeing dubbing conventions, etc., in real life? It'd be interesting to see one....

While this drama is pretty plotless, I think it is INOFFENSIVE. You couldn't really go wrong with it, even if you don't go right!

Beautiful music, incredible food, and a sweet love story

If you love easygoing relationships with lots of romantic moments then this drama is perfect. If you're looking for exciting drama this probably isn't the one for you, but you could give it a try.

The amount of music was such a nice addition to the drama and I honestly loved watching him cook everything even though that likely contributed to such a long series. However, I enjoyed every episode and getting to see more sweet moments with the leads and also the activities of the dubbing studio.

Their relationship was so cute to watch and it felt like we got to watch them fall in love and spend time together. What I love so much about this drama is that the relationship develops so naturally and realistically. Neither one of them is overbearing or irrational and they actually love and respect each other and show it too. Their personalities worked so well together and stayed consistent throughout, Mo Qing Cheng was calm and caring and Gu Sheng was kind and shy but a reasonable amount.

I did like seeing the side character stories but there wasn't that much going on compared to some other dramas. However, I like that it focused mainly on the two leads but the story varied so it didn't feel boring despite the lack of drama.

I would definitely recommend watching this drama for a sweet relaxing time if you're wanting a break from love rivals, miscommunications, and random plot twists (not that I don't love drama but this was nice to watch).

Light and fluffy drama

This drama is perfect for those looking for a light drama with no miscommunications! It’s not a complex story, and from time to time it went beyond fluffy to cringey, but overall it was a pleasant show to casually watch. If you’re looking for a thrilling and captivating story, this is not it. But if you’re looking to take a breather from frustrating plots and couples who don’t communicate, this definitely fits the bill.

*a very light spoiler of a minor issue below*




Towards the end, I did get frustrated with how he seemed to make big decisions for her, but this really only affected the last episode or 2.

A very slow drama, perfect if you want to see softness and nothing more

This drama is soft, cute, and slow may be a little bit too slow for me.
The love story is beautiful, and I have loved the discovery of the universe of voice songs actors. Cherry on the cake: wonderful songs all along the serie.
But my rate is only 7 because, at the end, it becomes too boring for me. I have watched only 26 episodes, and then I have jumped to the last one: We follow the love story of the main leads, and it is very romantic but nothing happened outside of this story. Of course, this is not the type of drama where you expect vilains or plot twists, but here this is too much for me..I would expect that something happens.
Besides, I prefer watching the leads falling in love, and in this story, they fall in love at the first sight, and almost before that.. I don't find it very interesting.
I advice this for all people who need softness and love, but nothing more.

Nonesense

I call this a drama of nothing!! Nothing happens really except a creepy romance between a much older man and a college student. He is apparently a surgents who has time to be a voice actors as well! They love each other voice and then they meet eat, listen to voices and music, 24/7 going out in their happy world where nothing goes wrong.. It felt like an Mv of a dad taking his daughter out to try diffrent food everyday. Fl is the shy naive, never been in a relationship kind of girl so ml was patient with her so very slow burn. Honestly I don't find this endearing why are you after an unexperienced young girl in the first place. Feels like grooming!! That's pretty much everything that happens a bunch of nothing

Cute drama that fill you with butterflies

I watch this bc of Tan Jian Ci. Become a fan of him after lost you forever and under the skin. I expected not much from this drama since it seemed a too light romance comedy. I was worry it will bored me.
But turned out i love this so much. It is based on novel and it is executed so damn well.
I know the main lead characters are out of the world, too perfect to be true, but hey just enjoyed it. We need to create the world with that positivity.
Tan jian ci nailed the character of Qiang Qing Ci aka Dr Mo very well. He is introverted, well manner, he know what he want and go for it, which i really love. He is so cute yet hot in here, absolutely one of the good kisser in cdrama.
Zhou ye is suprisingly good, can potrayed Sheng2 character , even better than the novel.
They have good chemistry. Their encounters always made me giggle bc it is that sweet and adorable, remind me of old times. Their kisses also very good. From cute then hot.
The other supporting roles are all great too. I love their friendship, so believable.
Some people found it slow but i don't think so. Bc i always enjoyed each eps and felt sad it is over now .
Watching this drama give me butterflies and happy feeling, a very healing and relaxing drama. Thx to the director and krus for doing a great job.
By this time, i already rewatch it 3 times. Gosh, this is my healing drama.
