Doce Primeiro Amor (2020)

If you are bored then it’s quite interesting to watch . But the plot was very annoying.

What I like in this drama is it’s very light, watchable to avoid boredom and the story was slightly different from other dramas.
But I seriously hate this drama because of the FL’s character. She is nice, cute and simple as it shows. But without knowing the truth how can she just move out from the house and blamed her parents for her biological parents’s death. Is it really that simple. If someone addopted you adter your parent’s death and loved for the long time, and suddenly someone tells you that they are the murderer of your parents, how could you believe the stranger instead of them who are so nice to you along the years. How could anyone be so rude to them? If I was in her place, I would suspect them, but thinking of all those years when I’m being loved by someone that much, I’ll definitely try to find out the truth but I wouldn’t leave them that easily. This is the only reason why I hate this drama.

Make it a drinking game

I have to say that the only thing I liked about this drama was the OST. The english song "With Light Inside" grew on me. The song didn't made sense but Chen Xueran voice was so dreamy in this and the melody was bubbly and upbeat. Good enough to play on repeat.

The story has a lot of "ick" factor. ML was 5 and FL was 7 when they became family, and he's been into her since then? and he has been the one to guide her back to bed every time she sleepwalks. SINCE HE WAS 5! They were raised as siblings since young even if she's known she was adopted from the beginning, the ick factor is huge. It would be better if
1. They didn't change her name
2. The parents were helping raise best friends kid coz best friends are in Antarctica or something.
3. They were neighbors instead of siblings.

Plus, her academic improvements were just too great too fast. From 400th++ place to being accepted into Medical school. Then there was medical school, part time job, medical intern, bakery business owner. The writer just couldn't decide what to do with this girl. The medical trope was just unnecessary. FL going into culinary field would have been much better.

Drinking game recommendation:
1. Drink a shot every time somebody carries the the FL.
2. Drink a shot every time FL gets a new job

Now lets get into the Ouyang siblings. Sister Ouyang has an "ick" factor obsession with her brother. While brother Ouyang can't manage his brain damage sister. He should have sat down with her and told her that if FL knew of their connection to FL parents death, things with their family could go really bad. Sister Ouyang was basically going all out to destroy her own family.

(out of topic) FL's kind of friend Liu ZheHui looks a little like korean actress Kim So Hyun when she wears the long hair wig.

I think the drama could be fleshed out more, the story told so far barely scratched the surfaced. I'm not that mad at this drama, I basically had it playing in the background while I was working. I can't watch this with full attention. I think I would strain my eyes with the number of time I'd roll my eyes.

Stop romanticizing toxic attitudes

It was entertaining to watch because I was bored, but it isn't a good drama at all!
I don't know why always the ML has to be the best student and the FL the worst ond. It is so annoying and frustating. But that's not the biggest problem if this drama.
Su Mu Yun is literally obsessed with his sister. He is supossed to be secretly in love, but he tries to hide it by bullying her, treating her like a maid, manipulating her actions, the places where she goes, the way she dresses, the people she talks to or hangs out with. He follows her everywhere and stalks her all the time. He always force her physically. It wasn't cute at all. He is so possesive and toxic. Also he is so rude to everyone.
Su Nian Feng is so submissive and so easy to control, not only by her brother, by everyone. She has no personality. She was cute sometimes, but it deseperated that she let everyone do whatever they want with her.
The only likeable characters are Le Di Yin and Li Zu Hui. The others are meh.
There are some parts that are funny because they are so cringy.
The best part of this drama is the music. I loved the songs, especially the opening.

If you’re really mindlessly bored

It can be cute but man, it’s like the production spent one day writing this story and one week making it.

I struggled! Struggle to find any reason why I should care about this story. Now that I finished, I struggle to remember the “challenges” to their relationship. It’s also incredibly stupid to have the FL be “not that smart” in school and then all go the sudden, she’s a doctor or marine biologist or super scientist...?!? And then she opens a bakery...?!? It makes no sense!!

I wanted to like it so much but after all of the episodes it’s still it not clear to me that the FL actually like the ML and I am not sure I get why the ML is obsessed with her...because she can cook?!?? I guess watch it if you’re like, super bored and wants to give your brain a vacation to not hold one thought.

Unbearable

This was horrible to watch. I know dramaland has a history of rude/jerk MLs that do nice things behind the scenes, but it is my belief that the latter probably doesn't matter if the former is just that hurtful to the FL — and this hinges a lot on how the FL takes it.

In this one, the weak and whiny FL was annoying, and the ML's coldness was just over the top. It was one of those dramas where jealousy wasn't funny and their entire relationship just seemed very toxic.

Something about the relationship progression with them being brother and sister first just felt very weird and unnatural to me.

Everything about the plot was very cliche, and it was just full of misunderstandings caused by the evil SFL.

Why is it too underrated???

I dont know why this drama is underrated but as for me it deserves more than this. I was reluctentto watch this drama at first because of the negative reviews. I took the initiative to watch it coz it'salready downloaded and was consumingmy memory. And let me tell you it's worth it.
All the actors did a great job.

When we consider the story and charactors, it's quite unusual. The ML is obsessed with is so called sister. The FL is annoyed by her brother(not really).
The obsession of the ML unintentionally causes FL to hates him. But actually both of them love each other. They strive to be together even between all the hardships.

Sometimes the behaviour of the FL makes us unconforable and annoyed. But oveeall its one of my favs

In this show you will encounter the following:

- male lead who has eyes only for the female lead,
- male lead written by men/women who hate relationships and normal human socialization,
- female lead written by men/women who hate women,
- villains that don't get any consequences for their malicious actions towards others,
- good side characters (who randomly disappear for 1-2 episodes at a time),
- time skips that feel unnatural,
- plot ???

Bit of a chore to get through because of the forcibly good-natured female lead who is portrayed as a very shallow person towards her own family and yet is nice and trusting to every random character sprite that loads into any episode. Her parents disappear for half of the drama and she doesn't care because she has reasons which don't make sense to anyone but whoever wrote this character. On another note of why she is the contender for the worst character ever, even after she starts returning the feelings to the male lead, she treats him worse than anyone else she knows. She is more appreciative of people who mean her ill will than someone who always fixes all of her problems. A good example of this is her being dismissive of her female friend at times, whilst that same friend is the one person who stands up for her in the face of any problems that occur.

The male lead is disturbingly controlling, obsessive, and pushy with the female lead for the best sentence we have all heard as women while growing up, 'He's a boy, that's just how they act'. The first part of the show is one giant bully guide because, as the male lead himself says in one of the episodes, 'Only I can bully her, no one else can.' True love right here, omg. But I guess we will forgive him because he is super hot and does all these kabedons, as that is more important than having a non-toxic relationship portrayal in a show being watched by people of all ages.

Rejoice, for there are no love triangles, quadrangles, or other lovely geometrical shapes, mainly due to the male lead being super obsessive, so everything that is not the female lead is non-existent to him. This did, however, create a bunch of friendships and some decent side characters that were least painful to watch in this whole ordeal.

The shitty people category was taken straight from a historical Chinese romance novel where we have an 'innocent flower' villain who hates the female lead over the dumbest things ever, like picking up a blade of grass that they wanted when they were three years old. Yes, it's that stupid. And no, they don't get punished or redeem themselves in any manner because who would want to see that, right? The smackdowns that this person gets from the male lead were kind of funny though, but it all goes down the drain because the female lead is there to coddle them.

There are three time periods this show takes place in, and they're weird because in one episode they're in high school and after two school events they're graduating. Then university time where they're graduating after two episodes. The female lead, for example, swaps so many jobs in such a short time that I wondered if they were time traveling. I guess they wanted to show a love story that spans a longer period of the characters' youth, but to do so, they could have extended the episodes a bit so it would have felt natural and didn't require a timeline chart.

Then there was a bunch of seemingly interesting plotlines that were started and then didn't go anywhere. They just get discarded and we never see anything about them again. The side characters have some problems to resolve, we proceed to not see them for a while, villains do villainy shit and then the side characters are back after that. It's all one big glob of an ill-cooked plot.

This show could have been better. They had the characters and the right idea but it seems that current media just can't let go of promoting toxic relationships and how to build them. Luckily we as the viewers can stop supporting these kinds of stories and watch shows with better quality.

Great Drama, ignore bad reviews.

If there's anything I've learned from being on Dramalist for a while, it's that people are very picky about their ratings of shows. Which is why I never trust the star ratings before going into a show to watch. The show could hold a 7 star value but could be one of your favorites.... Truth be told, everyone has different opinions and tastes. As you can see a lot of people disliked this show because of some annoying aspects that happen in it. But aren't there a lot of shows that have annoying parts in that we still love, despite that?? Anyways let's get to the review.

This drama has a very nice overall plot. It's interesting and it's what made me want to start this drama in the first place. The characters are very well done, you love some of them and hate some of them. Do some of the leads have annoying moments that make you want to slap them? Yes. In the beginning of the drama, I found the FL to be a tad annoying, she does grow on you tho. Her decisions that she makes throughout this drama can also be seen as annoying. Understandable. I'm not arguing that, she could have went about somethings differently, but you've gotta understand that there are worse FLs in other dramas, this one cannot beat them whatsoever. So don't rate the drama low just because of this.

Romance: The romance is cute! I found it adorable that her "brother" has liked her all this time. He cares for her without her knowing, and takes such good care of her. The jealousy definitely makes the drama, especially in their high school years. It is a bit of a slow burn tho. The ML chases her throughout the drama and the FL doesn't reply. But we do know that she likes him as well. So this another aspect of why people are rating this drama so low. Is it annoying? Yes. But, again, the FL isn't at all bad as the people on here are making her out to be. There's also a side romance with the FL's friend, she also gets her happy ending. Butttt, the 2Fl tho.... We all want to give her a smack. Watch out for her.

Overall this drama is underrated, so don't trust just the bad reviews of this drama. Could it improve in some areas? No doubt. But this shouldn't put you off. If you're looking for a cute youth romance, this is the one for you. And yes, it does have a happy ending.

The romance / relationship between adoptive brother and sister

One review talked about the negative side of this drama, like bullying , incest .

The female and male lead are quote on quote brother and sister but have no blood relationship. They grew up together, qing mei zhu ma. So many dramas have the male and female lead growing up together. The devil beside you with rainie yang and mike he, they were also brother and sister through their parents new marriage... anyways on to the review

Storyline- Female lead Zhuo Yi feng was young, she and her parents got into a car accident, leaving her parents dead and her being the only survivor, thus causing her having PTSD , and also sleeping walking. The male lead Su Mu Yun's family adopts her and changes her name to Su Nian Feng, to help her get past her horrific past. Su nian feng (FL) grews up with her brother and goes to the same school as him.
Male lead- is popularity in school because , he's in the basketball team. He is icy, cold male.
Female lead- is a lovable , kind and good at cooking, also she is easily bullied
Together they go through the last year of high school and then they go to college together. She meets one of her friends in high school, he has a sickness which causes female lead to study medicine in school.

Romance- some parts were cute. They have more kissing scenes towards the end. I don't really feel the chemistry as much.

Plot holes- There are way too many plot holes..
1) Sleep walking.... The sleeping walking part was just kinda weird, like her brother was always there to protect her and guide her back. But the times when she didn't live with the brother , she didnt have any sleep walking episodes?
2) Why would she listen the evil beep's mp3 randomly, and that would have the evidence of her parents death ?
3) She changed her profession so easily ? from being a doctor to a baker?

Evil characters
I can't stand lu cha biao !!! The evil girl is so annoying . She won't stop. Typically I dont like dramas with evil girl , trying to harm or bully the female lead. If its too much then i would rate it lower. The evil girl just had a obsession over the male lead and wanted to do everything to interfere between the male and female lead's relationship. I woulda slapped that evil girl, doing too much !

The male lead I feel like is a little to posessive over the "sister". Sometimes he can be very immature about his feelings and actions towards the female lead. Like when the female lead gets a present from another guy, the male lead would just throw whatever he prepared away for the female lead. The female lead doesnt throw it away, she would keep that item. I'm not a fan of the actor for the male lead, his eyes kinda always looks tired and droopy.

Overall , this drama was ok to watch., not bad.

They are too annoying as the lead

The one to blame is the scriptwriter , the story become boring in the middle of it , the char development also not to good , and one thing is they both already know ou yang xingque is the bad one and they keep easily fall into her so amateur traps over n over , the ML N FL char are one of the worst in cdrama, from ML instead of a cool one i see him as an arrogant ,childish,immature char , the FL is so damn annoying and stupid as she easily get provoked by other instead of find the truth she blame her addoptive parents? the only thing i like about this cdrama are the girl are pretty the FL and gao yu fei ( i like her tomboyish and energic char n also charming in a one special way) n honestly i think the FL should be with ouyang yu , i think Liu ze Er is much better looking and more like a cool one , he is much better than ryan ren imo
Also the ML is not that handsome to make all the girl crazy bout him at all.
