Love, misunderstandings with good kisses

THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.

Plot Love, is a clear drama where everyone goes against the protagonist, even her husband in some other chapter., Until I know
they fix and start again their relationship as husband and wife and with her son, then chapter 17 until her supposed friend
who helped him take care of a hospitalized aunt goes against the protagonist. I think they made a drama
of the drama, there was no need for so many antagonists in it!...her sister and her sister-in-law or rather sister
adoptive of the protagonist the two wanted to sleep with him!, very absurd, everything up to here (episode 17) I passed it ahead
extra scenes that do not involve the protagonists themselves, I only saw them and the couple they made
the assistants of each one of them seemed very funny to me, an air of so much misunderstanding, evil and manipulation

-the general directors of the company were mediocre and useless, they never did anything for the company and everything fell
about one of the main characters or both, the writers never knew what to do with the secondary characters.
The foster sister was so damn, since she was an orphan or something, and she never received love from anyone, that's why
when the protagonist's family adopts her she feels 'love' for him, but it was more of an obsession, then they unmask her
and he gets together with the bad guy of the series, Mr. Gu Minor. Here I had already skipped episode 18, it seemed unnecessary to see it,
the next it is practically the same, they were not able to do anything productive, at that point they should have made it shorter
about 20 chapters were more than good. There are dramas like sweet theater, with 22 episodes, if I had a few more, that was fine.

-Mr. Lu, the hero of the drama, more than a hero seemed to me AT FIRST to be an asshole, a man without manners, I even think without intelligence with being with a girl.
I don't know how he carried out that company, he had more idiots around than good employees, his grandmother was another character from
too much, he did not contribute anything, luckily he appeared much later, so those chapters were enjoyed more, his damn sister she is adoptive better not to mention, she never did anything more than cut stems of flowers (roses), she did not even work on that, I consider that
He was the most useless character I've ever seen in a drama, along with the lead's model sister and grandmother.

-Ms. Hers, our heroine, was shown as a strong person after being humiliated and sent abroad, she came back
like someone layers, and she only showed it with her sister, her 4th model, which, incidentally, was hardly annoying, from an episode
for the other, she was gone, as if she died in the middle of some chapter. She was a good mother as she could, since she
her development was based on her revenge against all those who did wrong to her about 7 years before, together with her best friend and faithful her assistant she was able to bear all the sorrow she had in the past and face the present with greater strength, but still she did not stop being aware of the antagonist and manipulator of the series, if it was a strategy but always be having lunch or dinner seemed very unnecessary to me, since the truth is that there they could have done something more striking and not cliché.

-The antagonists in general, Mr. Gu was pathetic I don't know if he was the character like that or the actor was very bad at carrying out
his work, he had a face of I don't know what, (I don't want to say that word so as not to insult like-minded people). Then there's the
sister-in-law or adoptive sister, yes, she had a more boring face, she was always the same, what a ridiculous character she never did anything, she just cut stems of roses until she joined Mr. gu and 'worked' in his company, when clearly I had to leave the drama, it no longer contributed anything. Then there would be the supposed friend of the protagonist, the one who took care of an aunt in the hospital, she didn't even contribute to the drama, they could choose someone at random and at the same time she would leave the drama, and it would be better development, since, later, she simply threw the guilt of everything he did on par with Mr. gu, he only gave himself up crying and bye. The protagonist's sister, who wasn't even sure if she was a blood sister or an adopted sister, was a terrible model, who only used her 'appearance' to succeed, she wanted to get in bed with the protagonist, she couldn't, he was more intelligent, well anyone would be, he wanted to run over his sister, he didn't succeed, then he continued with some incrimination, he didn't achieve his goals, then the writers gave him less and fewer minutes on screen until he didn't appear anymore...

-another thing that I don't understand why they always make the last chapters so dramatic, in this case with his illness, I think they could do something less cliché and let him recover before and pretend he was in poor health to thus make the bad guys fall, but they chose to make it as pitiful as possible so that it would lengthen the drama.
Said disease, I think that he needs more acting, he did not seem very comfortable playing that role.
-The good thing here is that the protagonist accompanied those scenes well, it felt comfortable to see her, as well as her assistants who always made you smile when they were seen together ha.
-I didn't understand how the babysitter lets the baby go with Mr. Gu?, that is, first she asks her parents if she can take him, she doesn't trust that the child knows him and already, they could also put one more person to take care of him, knowing that this idiot can do whatever he wants, this happens in the last chapter, so obviously that it makes you want to leave the drama at that very moment, for my part I go ahead until near the end, since it makes me very stupid those unnecessary scenes and so much cliché.

-The final part was very good, everyone on the beach, the boy befriends a blonde girl and when his parents are kissing and between them, they cover their eyes, that part was great.

-I don't think I paid attention to the music, I still think that the best OST of a cdrama is 'behind your smile' I think not
I listened to another OST as good as that one, in fact I downloaded it completely, and I listen to it often.

-I guess I wouldn't watch this drama again, it's good in general, but it lacks more continuity in the development of the story,
it makes you feel that things were left unclear or that they simply weren't shown.

Revenge plot turned romance but didn't get irritating.

I enjoyed this story. It's basically about a woman who's planning to get revenge on her estranged husband because she's convinced he set up the accident that the woman who adopted her got in. There's plenty of the crazy jealous people who are in love with the male and female leads but it was done in a way that wasnt really irritating so it fit in the story well.

What i liked about how they did this is that each of the characters had a real pupose that was important to some part of the mystery they were trying to solve. The misunderstandings were present, but you continually see them grow to trust each other as they work through problems. What surprised me is that the memory loss actually fit the story unlike most times when shows use it as a factory reset to start over.

I also like how the kid to be an active part of the reason why they worked things out. And he was super adorable!

Nice and Good One

It was a good drama. It wasn't as bad as some of the negative comments. I would suggest not to go according to the negative comments and decide for yourself, just like I did.
The ML and FL had nice chemistry. No doubt there were a lot of kissing scenes but not as many as compared to few others.
There were a lot of annoying and frustrating scenes/characters, which I did skip. The secondary couple were also cute together. I would be re watching but only good moments sometime later when I have nothing else to watch only for the ML.

Fast paced tropey drama with a strong FL

To be honest, this show would fit the description of a filler drama perfectly. It is watchable and entertaining while it lasted. This is helped by being 24 episodes long and about 30mins in duration so it is easy to binge. There is certainly a lot happening within that short runtime so there is little drag and the pace is quick.
The characters are roughly divided into 2 camps. Those in the OTP's camp aka the Good Guys and the rest. ;) This is not an exaggeration. There are so many antagonists either out to get the FL, the ML or both, they basically filled the rest of the cast.
Most of the plot centred around the antagonists taking turns attacking the protagonists non-stop until they are locked away. However, their evil schemes were fairly predictable and lacked inventiveness. Yes, it kept the plot moving along but with the OTP is always one step ahead of the evil-doers, it brings on a sense of fatigue but the fast pace stop you from picking at the plot holes too much. Of course, it is gratifying to see the CP overcoming obstacles but it a diminishing return.
Speaking of cliché plots, one actually became the Show's Archie's heel. The Show introduced a 6 years old boy very early on. Nothing unusual about that as some Shows like to use a cute kid to add a bit of sparkle and cheer when the story gets too heavy. Unfortunately, they had the child doing things that defied logic and made his character less likeable. Added to that, his voice dubbing was not very natural and can be cringy at times. The kid was used as a pawn in too many subplots (showing up in weird places and being kidnapped twice?!). Overall, it is not a strong script with its share of large plot holes and convoluted plots (the one involving the arch nemesis was a doozy).
With no recognised actors in the cast, it is unsurprising that acting was patchy at times. The FL did a creditable job and she started the show strongly and kept that up most of the way. This is one lady who knew what she wanted and how to get it. She made the show more watchable. The ML, on the other hand, was handsome but has limited range so for the bulk of the show he was basically stoic, stoically angry, stoically annoyed or jealously stoic(?). The chemistry of the leads were not strong. There were a lot of skinship but it was not always convincing.
The second OTP was more dynamic and cuter. In part because the 2ML had a much freer hand with his role and he was allowed to be lively and witty. He certainly has a greater range than the ML. The 2FL is not on par with the FL but she did good in her support role and suited her character. It was a shame that they weren't given more screen time and the way their romance was scripted just felt a bit haphazard. The rest of the support cast were largely one dimensional.
The production value was fine. I have read reviews that said the production was cheap. I won't go as far as that. Yes, they reused several sets but there were also some nice settings and it wasn't like the set was falling apart so it was acceptable. OST was serviceable but forgettable. Rewatch value is minimal for me.

Some of the worst acting I've ever seen in C Dramaland

Bad acting. Cliche plot. Bad Bad Bad. I feel like punishing myself because I should have known better but no, I kept at it with the hope the acting and story would get better. Reader, it did not.

I'm screaming internally

Mais um que perdeu a memória

O tema poderia ser melhor explorado mais ficou na margem.

Um casal apaixonado que tinha tudo para dar certo é separado pela imaturidade e mal entendidos e acaba com um espaço de sete anos distantes por causa de um acidente que leva a memória de um deles.
Lu Nan (o CEO ) arrogante e vítima de um grande esquema para derrubar a empresa, nem imagina que cometeu um grande erro ao mandar sua esposa para fora do país devido a acusações e logo após sofre um acidente automobilístico que o deixa sem memória e Su Bei (estilista) foi acusada de plágio e enviada à força para o exterior depois de ser renunciada pelos parentes, volta para a China com amadurecimento profissional e reconhecimento mundial de agente modelo, com a missão investigar a verdade sobre o suicídio do único parente, tia Lan, que se suicidou ao pular de um prédio, limpar seu nome e reconquistar tudo que foi perdido.
Ela reassume o lugar de esposa de Lu Nan, que não tem memórias dela e até então o amor por ele era apenas ódio e recentimento, renasce amor a partir do momento que ela percebe que ele não recorda do passado.

Até esse ponto o autor trás mais do mesmo, poderia citar vários dramas semelhantes e o desenvolver da estória vem com requinte de maldade da vilania. Se você não assistir tudo bem, porque a trama não trás nada que some conhecimento, isso poderia compensar o enredo fraco e cheio de furos. O CEO arrogante se torna um cachorrinho adestrado e apaixonado muito rápido e faz coisas muito ridículas para atores com grande pontecial poderiam ousar mais. O casal secundário feito pelos dois secretários também poderia ter mostrado mais, assim com as desavenças sem sentido de alguns personagem poderiam não existir. O que parece foi um trabalho de um roteirista novo no ramo, pois tinha tudo para ser memorável e atual.
