Gossip Girl (2020)

Wonderful story, chemistry- wonderful drama

So at first, I watched the trailer and didn't really expect much, except for the Hikaru No Go crossover. At first I thought that this will be just like another adult drama with draggy storyline and annoying characters, however to my surprise, this drama is excellent.

The series revolves around the 2 best friends work and love life. Throughout the series, you can see how each character develop to become a better person. In this series, each person plays an important role, not only Li Yi Tong and Chen Jin as the main lead, but I feel like every one is the main lead in the drama. At first, I kinda grumbled seeing how the third couple (Ye Zhou and Guan Ye) has so many screen time, thinking that it was unnecessary and boringg. But after finishing the drama, I realised that every one of the character in the drama is the main role (even though their world revolves around Lu Ke and Shen Si Yi) . Each of the characters have their own story shown, even though not much of the screen time of them is shown. Every person that appears in the drama and the problems encountered help every one of the character in the drama grow, they grow alongside with the main lead (which is very unoften to see in dramas). Insignificant characters and their own story makes me very attached to this drama, it is their presence and each of their story that makes the drama a 很了不起的 drama.

And another important thing is this drama doesn’t have draggy problems and storyline. The problems encountered in the drama is very realistic and they don’t drag the problem solving. Also, (THANK GOD) there is no annoying male or female lead.

And of course, li yi tong and chen jin chemistry is impeccable!! Their acting skills and chemistry made me really though that I am watch a documentary series about them. Last but not least, the cinematography and music is also perfect. The camera angles, editing, and everything it is like watching a movie production. The slow-tempo and jazz music is the perfect combination for the cinematography. With both of them, you really feel the ambience of the series. You can feel that you are “IN” the series, watching alongside each of the characters and their growth.

In conclusion, if you are watching for a light hearted drama which makes you smile, laugh, cry this is the perfect drama!! My review can't really sum up how amazing this drama is, but I do recommend every one of you to watch this drama!!
And I don't know if they dubbed for this series, but god.. I am in love with Zhang Meng's voice and accent!!!

A MUST WATCH DRAMA

I seldom write long reviews but Dear Missy deserve it. So I started this drama as it is an adult life drama and the filming seemed good from the trailer. It was better than expected. The series revolves around two friends and the people around them. Friendship and relationships are the main theme. Each character was well developed, actually you can find a little bit of yourself in every character, this is what i felt at least.
Every relationship and every person had its ups and downs and the way characters dealt with their problems was completely realistic. Nothing was exaggerated and that is what I liked the most. Everything seemed like a daily life encounter, nothing was unreal.

At first, I couldn't understand why a second lead couple had so much screen time, but later I realized that if they hadn't i would not have gain so much from the series. This couple is actually all young adults. At the end this drama, made me see things from another perspective, and I am so grateful,this is something that rarely happens and I believe writers and director is to thank.
As for the main leads Li Yitong and Gina Jin I have no words, their acting skills, their chemistry everything was amazing. It was like seeing two real best friends. Gina thought (OMG QUEEEN) in this role is amazing, such a dynamic woman, something that we rarely see in Chinese dramas.
I would like also to comment on the direction. It must be one of the best directing in Chinese series. Each episode was like watching a movie. After that I will definitely watch the works of the same director.
To conclude, if you are into adult life dramas or a young adult I definitely recommend this drama. Don't be discourage from the comments here (this is what happened in my case and at the end the drama was a masterpiece for me) I feel that my review cannot express well how good was it so please give it a try
