Little Joy
Passion, Rivalries and Romance
What I Loved
1. Shen Zhengyi’s determination: Watching Shen Zhengyi persevere despite numerous setbacks was incredibly inspiring. Her fall during the Wind Chaser audition and subsequent rise showed grit and heart, which instantly drew me into her character. Plus, her constant effort to prove herself to her naysayers was truly commendable.
2. Shao Beisheng’s character development: I absolutely adored how Shao Beisheng evolved. Initially, he was a bit aloof, but as the drama progressed, he began to show more warmth, especially in his interactions with Zhengyi. As he gradually realized his feelings for her, his protective yet gentle nature was a joy to watch.
3. Beautiful Soundtrack: The soundtrack was fantastic and really enhanced emotional moments. Whether it was during skating competitions or intimate scenes between characters, the music perfectly matched.
4. Relationship Dynamics: The romance between Shao Beisheng and Shen Zhengyi was slow-burning and satisfying. Their banter was cute, and when they finally got together, their chemistry was undeniable. Plus, the evolving friendships and rivalries within the skating team added layers to the story.
5. The Competitive Spirit: The skating sequences were well-choreographed and kept me on the edge of my seat. From Zhengyi’s practice sessions to the final competitions, the intensity and tension were perfectly captured, making the victories feel even more triumphant.
What I Hated
1. Xiao Han’s manipulative behaviour: I despised how Xiao Han manipulated Zhengyi for his selfish reasons. The way he took advantage of her naivety, secretly training her to support Xiaoyi in the competition, was downright cruel. His character was frustratingly passive-aggressive and never called Xiaoyi to order for her narcissistic behaviour.
2. Xiaoyi and Xiao Qing’s scheming: Both Xiaoyi and Xiao Qing were frustrating villains. Xiao Qing, in particular, was a nightmare. Like what she did with Zhengyi’s private sketchbook, made her utterly unbearable. Every time I thought she’d redeem herself, she’d come up with another nonsense.
3. Lack of Consequences for Bad Behavior: Several characters, especially Xiaoyi, got away with way too much for far too long. Her arrogance and selfishness went unchecked, and even though she faced some setbacks, I felt she didn’t get the true reckoning she deserved for all the drama she caused.
4. Xiao Han’s Redemption Arc: I couldn’t stand the attempt to redeem Xiao Han toward the end of the drama. After causing so much chaos and manipulating Zhengyi, suddenly giving him a sob story and expecting forgiveness felt forced and unnecessary.
5. Drawn-out Misunderstanding: The misunderstandings between between Zhengyi, Beisheng, and Xiao Qing was unnecessarily prolonged.
Overall, while the drama had its frustrating moments, the characters I loved made it a memorable experience.
