Du Jia Tong Hua (2023)

this drama is for the friends to lovers x slowburn type of girlies!


two genres incorporated in one drama so well. i love how it was slowburn bc it actually showed how much the fl has grown as an individual person. although they were friends since birth, it did not hinder the fl from liking other people which was so realistic bc it showed that her (love) life did not entirely revolve around her childhood friend. she was still very much capable of liking other people and not sickingly stuck with one person. the slowburn may not be for everyone, but it was definitely NEEDED! i agree that there were some fillers that contributed nothing to the progression of the plot, but it was still something i enjoyed.

For the cast, i felt like a proud mom when i saw jun, mannn. since this is his first time acting again after svt debut, i actually lowered my expectations a little; however, he continuously exceeded more than what i've expected of him. he def still needs to take steps forward on acting, but he did well nonetheless. i wish he would get more acting projects after this, preferably those that would showcase his versatility.
zhang miao yi delivered like she always does. she embodied xiao tu so well. also, idc what anyone says, i love the second couple.

Exclusive Fairytale

So this drama started as a masterpiece!! Very addictive. So cute. I personally don’t like love stories started as siblings but because of Jun I forced myself to watch it and I don’t regret it. I like the female lead too. She is so cute and I love her almost every drama. However, there’s something that made me lose interest in this drama. The second lead couple.!!! It’s okay if you don’t agree with me, this is my opinion. The second lead couple cringed the hell out of me. Super cringe and I ended up skipping their parts!! Some might found that cute and adorable but for me it’s not cute at all!! It’s not normal!!! It’s cringy af!! Before this drama I watched when I fly towards you and its second lead couple was the best and unintentionally exclusive fairytale second lead couple was compared to wifty second lead couple and exclusive fairytale second lead couple is a huge no for me!! Overall, a good drama,,, soooo cute but because of the second lead couple it took some more days to finish it than usual!!

Léger et divertissant sur sa durée

Si vous êtes adeptes de ce genre de dramas, alors vous savez qu'il ne faut pas en attendre trop. Ils sont légers et divertissants, c'est tout ce qu'on demande et généralement ils y parviennent plutôt bien. Si ma note semble faible, elle est pourtant honnête.

Le scénario n'a rien d'original. Il suffit d'avoir vu quelques semaines auparavant When I Fly Towards You (avec Zhang Miao Yi, d'ailleurs). Les situations proviennent toutes d'une liste de clichés recyclés (rien de mal à ça). L'enchaînement des scènes reste classique, tandis que l'histoire se développe avec un rythme populaire, mais efficace. La musique n'est pas particulièrement marquante.

Côté acteurs/actrices, je pensais honnêtement que Jun (Seventeen) volerait la vedette grâce à sa prestance en tant qu'idole, mais pas du tout. Il sait se faire remarquer tout en restant discret. Il faut avouer que Jun possède une très belle apparence et campe sur des acquis avec sa carrière qui lui permet d'avoir une assurance et un charisme marqué.
Zhang Miao Yi incarne un personnage similaire à When I Fly Towards You, bien que je l'ai trouvé moins convaincante (cela dit, le doublage (mentionné ci-dessous) en est peut-être une cause). Même le personnage de Jun n'est pas épargné sur ce point. Quant aux personnages secondaires, ils sont sympathiques, mais peu exploités.
La romance est légère et mignonne. Elle s'installe un peu tard (comme toujours avec ce type de drama), mais reste agréable à regarder, tandis que les personnages évoluent tranquillement (bien que sans surprises sur les événements).

Le doublage était infâme, clairement l'un des plus mauvais. Cela impacte le drame qui souffre d'une mauvaise synchronisation et de dialogues monotones. C'est plat et sans vie, heureusement que les images sont là.

Bref, Exclusive Fairytale possède des défauts et n'a rien d'original, cependant, il reste léger et agréable sur sa durée et offre un bon divertissement.

Fun to watch, if you have plenty of time

It is just an ordinary coming of age drama that was not leaving a big impression for me. I laugh a lot because of Miaoyi's acting. She really delivered well.

Aside from that, nothing is special. But really, Miaoyi's acting is so fun to watch that I finally finished the whole episodes.

If you want to waste your time, it is really a good choice because it doesn't have any specific conflicts and as expected, a romcom that is so funny with a bunch of silly things around.

Thanks to this I finally recognize When I Fly Towards You. Because I am not a cdrama enjoyer, only a casual kpop listener then I found Jun having his drama aired and when I want to follow the hype, I discovered another gem. I have to be grateful to everyone who recommend me this drama afterall.

Its a good watch not bad but not amazing

I think this is a cute, comedic and lighthearted show I mainly watched for the lead actress and Jun. I think it's something to watch when you're like doing chores you don't need to pay full attention to understand what's going on. The best way I could describe this show is just :). Overall it's a good show and easy to watch, there are also a lot of cute kiss scenes. I don't think there's anything particularly bad about it.




um I don't know what else to write and I need to write more uh watch it if you want it's good I mean I've properly repeated myself about 20 times but uh its uh good.

História era boa mas não consegui desenvolver empatia pelo ML

Vi o pessoal dizendo que vieram pelo ML mas acabaram se apaixonando pelo secundário e verdade seja dita. Pra quem assistiu recentemente Hidden Love, drama também chinês sabe do que estou falando. O protagonismo masculino não precisa ser um gentleman como era o Duan Jiaxu de Hidden Love mas você tem que perceber quando o personagem começa a evoluir, principalmente se tratando de uma amizade que se transforma em um romance, aqui valem as microexpressões... O cara pode ser frio, sem problemas, mas ele precisa fazer esse arco da mudança, e o telespectador tem que notar isso, de repente em um dia eles implicavam um com outro e na virada do ensino médio, o ML estava na cola do FL, a seduzindo, e tentando recuperar o tempo perdido. Infelizmente não colou essa mudança súbita, acho que só ri carinhosamente para o ML na cena que ele faz as pazes com o pai depois de um longo período de guerra fria, e eu sou suspeita porque prezo muito os relacionamentos familiares em dramas. Xiao Tu, é muito parecida com a maioria das FLS, ela assistindo dramas com o pai com certeza era muito hilário rsrsr , difícil não ter empatia por ela. Já o second lead Yin Zi Han, ao contrário do ML tinha expressões muito boas, foi ele mesmo na maior parte do tempo, mudou da água pro vinho e não era amigo só da protagonista, mas se dava bem com a amiga dela e outros, dava borboletas vendo-o lentamente se apaixonar por Xiao Tu. Mal aproveitado esse personagem, mas tudo bem, estamos acostumados com esse tipo de coisa nos dramas.

Cute Romance

The perfect romance that makes you want to giggle and kick your feet as you watch a pair of 亲梅竹马 (childhood sweethearts) and their romance as they grow up. There's nothing difficult to grasp in this cdrama, and it's perfect if you want some brainless binging. There's amazing chemistry and zero misunderstandings (which is so rare for a cdrama), but I personally found it a little lacking in terms of the plotline. However, it's definitely cute enough to make you want to rewatch it. One unique thing I really loved was the BTS at the end of each episode!

I found it relatively similar to Sweet First Love, with its non-blood-sibling bond trope. It both contains cute banter as childhood sweethearts grow up, so if you enjoyed Sweet First Love, this is something that may interest you. One more point I'd like to mention is how they FINALLY made an older female main lead as the love interest, which might be a small point, but this, along with other points like the lack of misunderstandings, does combat a lot of stereotypes that I hate seeing in cdramas.

cute and steamy

This is one of those series that leave you completely satisfied with the ending, there is no "i need the epic conclusion!" because they give you everything wrapped up with a beautiful bow. I recommend this show for anyone who really wants a fluffy sweet romance that had some really steamy scenes.

I loved the buildup of the main characters relationship, it wasn't a instant "kapow" but a sweet shift that really showed them growing up and understanding what they truly had with one another. The key ,I felt, was how good the chemistry was between the actors since it was in the subtle changes that you really felt them shift from childhood best friends to something more.

The love interests that was placed in this show, especially for the female lead, were well placed and really showed cute milestones that most teenagers go through. The adorable puppy love, with sweet little gifts and clumsy acts shows of affection that sometimes went completely over her head. Then figuring out how to know if you really like someone or admire them for being an amazing person. They were great characters, even if they were more so fluffy than complications that needed to be fixed.

I also feel they did an amazing job with portraying the "computer science prince charming" guy and how she did nothing wrong to encourage the behavior he showed. Though I do wish the female lead was able to knock him on his butt and give him a wakeup call.

It was a fun watch

If youre looking for a fun and mindless romcom this absolutely works for you. Dont be expecting a masterpiece from here.

The clichés are there, the misnderstandings, the cold ML and the cheerful FL, jealousy games, highschool classroom dramas, bicycling home, the rain scenes. Everything is there, but thats just chinese dramas for you.

Just wanted to throw out a word about Jun's acting. Its not as good as the rest of the cast. I would be a delulu carat to be saying that. He was visibly stiff and nervous in the start. His expressions didnt really have any life. It was like those snapchat bitmoji's faces. It was quite robotic. He delivered his lines well and his body language was really good too. But the eyes were just dead and the face was just frozen.

BUT. BUT. BUT.
It improved as the episodes progressed. I guess he got used to the camera and learnt how to modify his acting ig. His face started melting (lol) and his eyes were significantly more expressive than in the start. He actually seemed like a typical cdrama rookie actor. So hold onto your wigs and bear with it for a while please. It will get better i promise

Short Lighthearted Full of Fluff

Destined from the start, that is how I would describe LC and XT's story. They are fated to be together from the moment they were born, thanks to their parents. The two moms and LC dad are like members of the CP fan club lols. I love the fact that XTs dad attempted to be a spoilsport and disagree with the inevitable marriage of his godson and daughter it was funny and heartwarming to know that she will be alays daddy's girl.

Couple of stuff that I like:
Female bestie and Deskmate CP is cute. Although I understand the break up, LDR and lack of communinacation is a like a bomb ready to explode anytime. Love and trust can't make LDR work. In this relarionship I just want to point out that she is level headed in her fangirling attitude, she does not own her idol and knows her idol has a private life. Kudos to the show for pointing out not all are obsessive fans. I like also her BFs supportive stance in her fangirl life, not all could accept this lifestyle.

FLs male bestie is admirable. Throughout the show there were instances that showed he also likes XT but maybe because he was busy living his life and he knows XT and LC are a couple he supressed his feelings and decided to be just friends. He placed a boundary acceptable to stay in the life of the main couple. I want to think he would rather stay friends than lose them in his life.

The parents - Awesome parents not too controlling which is rare in cdramaland.

Didn't like:
No need for that junior guy to attempt to meddle in the couple juat because he fell for her when he saved her
The girl classmate of LC who also liked him, she was annoying but she at least changed.


The osts fit the drama but not that memorable for me.
A good watch and can be rewatched when we need fluff in our lives ..❤️
