A Love So Beautiful (2017)

I love this show so much and I wouldn't mind rewatching it because how cute it was and how I cried and then got really happy in the next few seconds and I loved the whole thing from beginning to the end. It was really cute and funny. I watched with my sister and she was so happy throughout most of it and we cried together. I also love the plot and the characters. Jiang Chen was my favorite character and my second favorite character was Lu Yang. I found this drama just by looking up another drama that I wanted to watch but I couldn't find it and this one was the first suggestion and I was like hmm this looks cute and interesting and so I started it and fell in love immediately after I started watching it.

Classic teenage romance, not appalling, but also nothing exceptional.

Storyline: As expected of teenage romance, there is nothing too surprising. The storyline is predictable, the plot is non-existent, and the entire show is based upon an obsession. Although I really enjoyed the romance between supporting casts, I found the two main leads to be extremely boring. At the start, the female lead was tolerable (possibly even endearing). As the show progressed, she becomes irritating and ultimately revolting. Her character has zero development, which would not have been terrible had she started off with some personality. Unfortunately, she goes from an obsessive stalker into a horrible person who wishes the worst upon anyone that shows interest in her crush. Having 'love' as the theme of the plot, I find that the main characters have absolutely no understanding of what love is. Granted, they are teens and it is 'puppy love', it is still unrealistic and truly terrifying to think that some people consider this type of toxic/unhealthy relationship to be cute. My boyfriend and I started off the series with little expectations, and we were pleasantly surprised that the supporting casts were all adorable. We are currently staying on the series just for Lu Yang and Lin Jing Xiao.

Cast: Nothing much to talk about, they were all average. I do not think any of them particularly stood out in terms of acting. Shen Yue and Hu Yi Tian pretty much typecasted for their respective roles, there is not much acting to do.

Music: Again, the theme song is fine, there are hardly any OSTs for this show.

Conclusion: Great way to relax and chill, especially if your partner is a hardcore romantic. The show has its moments, it is not a complete lost cause. I would never rewatch it though. I would also never want to pick up a book by this author, simply because I would get frustrated by the sheer stupidity of the main characters.

Note: We have not completed the series, but judging by its current state and the pace of the show, there will not be much progress. I hope it gets better, but I would not be shocked if it stays mediocre.

Amore adolescenziale

Partiamo dal presupposto che se guardo interamente un drama è perché mi piace molto. E di conseguenza la votazione non può essere che positiva.
Nella mia lista vi sono alcuni drama messi da parte, ed altri che sto guardando con estrema calma, e non so nemmeno se mai li recensirò, proprio perché non amo criticare.
Questo drama avrebbe dovuto essere uno di quei drama da vedere con calma. Cominciato esclusivamente per la presenza del protagonista maschile Hu Yitian, che senza smentirsi interpreta il freddo secchione strabello della sua scuola. Ho apprezzato molto anche la piccola Shen Yue poiché esce completamente dallo standard occidentale di bella protagonista femminile come spesso capita nei drama cinesi, a ribadire che in fondo siamo tutti belli.
Ciò che più mi ha emozionato di questo drama è stato rivivere il mio primo amore adolescenziale con tutte le paure e tutte le emozioni che solo durante l'adolescenza si possono provare. La vita sui banchi di scuola, le eterne amicizie, le invidie, le sgridate dei professori... E quindi quello che avrebbe dovuto essere un drama da guardare con calma nei ritagli di tempo è stato divorato in poche notti, e ogni volta che mi capita di rivedere la locandina o qualche immagine ripenso sempre con dolcezza a quell'iniziale "我喜欢你！" "我不喜欢你！" ("Mi piaci" "Tu no!")

MY HEART!

I found this after looking for a show with Hu Tian as a main character after finished GoGo Squid! and stumbled across this. I am happy I did! I am a sucker for a show that makes me Aww! and smile like a proud mom. I felt like I was going in circle as the plot developed though. I am not the biggest fan of guys who have a tsundere personality at the beginning though. However, I loved the friendship between all of the characters and had a fun time watching it. I like shows that go from High School to University. The charcters are more wholesome I feel like, and when I watch a show in this genre I expect to see some cute stuff. I got what I wanted.

Also, prepare to be frustrated by all of the miscommunications! They make the story better in this case but also had me wanting to bash my head into a wall (not recommended FYI).

Oh come ooon....another stupid FL?

I hate the stupid female lead trope....Haaaaaaaate it.

Why would anyone think it is cute? It's not...because there aren't any stupid girls ...all girls are occasionally clumsy and do stupid things. But this here idea of writing a character that is brainless....naaaaaah .....it ain't right. I've seen it before described as "not-so-smart"...oh how polite. It's patronizing at best and sexist at the worst. What we're are trying to say here is that it's cute for a girl to be swoony, stalker-ish and altogether a silly sycophant for a guy because he's handsome? And after all her striving, her ultimate reward is an unromantic relationship?

And then add a cold totally unromantic non-caring heartless ML? ? I mean... come on...Even after the time-lapse, these two really unpalatable aspects about the main lead couple barely improved. I was secretly hoping to see some emotional maturity come with the age...uhm instead we got a "apologize to me" Aaaaaaargh...at peak annoyance right now.

This drama was painful to watch so this review is actually dedicated to Lu Yang...Hello Scene Stealer! Lu Yang is my hero and the character who made this show worth the while. Just adored that second lead couple. I loved that we learnt enough about them to have a beautiful side story. The most unlikely of couples and yet so cute and perfect for each other! *sigh* Now that was the love so beautiful.

I don't remembee how i know this drama but i never regret watching this. THIS DRAMA WAS FREAKING GOOD. The storyline was good and light but i confused how suddenly they into being a couple but who cares. The acting just okay for me but the male lead seems awkward for me. i think he just doing his role maybe and he is so HANDSOME lol. i feel bad for said the female lead was 'ugly' at first but she is cute and pretty when she being adult. i also watching her in 'Meteor Garden'. The opening song is catchy but i don't know about another song. REWATCH VALUE? of course 100%. i bet you will never getting bored watching and again. the best part in this drama was jealously. the sweet in this drama was really strong. KISS SCENE? OMG i keep replay again and again lol.


overall this drama was good good good good good. this is the best youth drama in this entire world

A Love So Beautiful will always have a special place in my heart because this drama is the reason why I've started to get curious with the mainland Chinese entertainment industry. Sure, I've sees some of CDramas over the years but this drama opened the door for me. Not just for the main leads but you can see the chemistry among the actors playing this close knit group of friends.

This is a coming of age drama that spans seasons of one's life. From youth to being in the real world, this drama recalls the scenes of one's youthful days. I'm glad that this didn't have that toxic love triangle story or else I would've dropped this. I liked how the story was simple and relatable and how the leads captured the story of being childhood friends. Chen Xiao Xi is head over heels with her childhood friend Jiang Chen and I'm glad that they didn't play it out like it was some secret crush. I'm glad that she gets to express her feelings openly with their other friends, Lu Yang and Jing Xiao cheering her on. Wu Bong adds character to the mix and his mere presence finally gives Jiang Chen the push he needs and that realization that he indeed is also in love with Xiao Xi. This is one of the stories that you can enjoy over and over again and even play in the background while doing something else. Sure, Jiang Chen is a jerk most of the time but you can see how fond he is of Xiao Xi despite battling with himself on how he feels about her.

A love so beautiful reminds me of It Started with a Kiss for some reason having similar stories with the female lead openly crushing with the male lead but this drama proved that it is its own entity. I enjoyed it, I really did. It was simple, easy, and funny at the same time.

I recommend this drama 100 out of 10. I don't want to exagerate because it isn't an Oscar worthy type of drama. It's more of a fluffy youth drama. But it's the type of drama that will tug on your heart strings and bring you on the journey of Jiang Chen and Xiao Xia and all the side characters. I haven't felt bored once during the drama. My heart fluttered a lot and I'm in my mid 30s with children, and a great husband. This youth drama is not only for youth. I think all ages can appreciate this drama reminding us of pure and innocent love. I feel that the team behind the drama did a great job at keeping this drama light-hearted while addressing very important life lessons.

This drama made me feel that Chinese entertainment is catching on to the current trends and this drama has become a favorite modern Chinese drama of mine. The acting is natural and not cringy at all. The actors did a great job as newbies at portraying their characters to be believable. It is hard to get over this drama!

I also feel that this drama will capture the heart of many international fans. The actors portraying Jiang Chen and Xiao Xi have very likable qualities and personalities offscreen that would draw people to them. If China produces more dramas like this, it will definitely open up more interest in Chinese dramas.

P.S. - I wasn't interested in the trailers until I watched this Youtube Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y7LjuIsHdw - If you are hesitating and wondering about the storyline - watch this 7 minute video and trust me - you will want to watch the whole thing!

A cute love story which matures with age and distance. Realistic.

Loved the characters. Wu Bosong was defo my favourite. But, I loved Jiang and Xiaoxi as as a pair. The supporting characters and their friendship was, again, cute and realistic. Loved the growth of each characters; Specially, Chen Xiaoxi. She came a long way and grew in to a mature young woman who knew when to let go and when to hold on which is one of the life’s most important aspects.

The last part with Jiang’s POV tops it all. It was much needed and explained everything so much better.

Amazing series!!! I’ve rewatched it 3-4 times in a year. ????
