Pela Eternidade (2021)

Confused

I can see many loved this drama and im failing to see quite why! The settings are beautiful as are the actors but the love between the two I'm failing to grasp. I know their past lives and the connection but in this life he is so wooden and uncommunicative and the lack of physical affection so far just makes him out to be a manboy. I understand his childhood and IQ have left him socially isolated but is she just going on his looks and name?!!! After all her past memories so far have not shown him! Im trying to enjoy it as a light romance but its pretty unbelievable the speed to the wedding given he cant even hold a conversation with her and his obsession with her showering time is bizarre to say the least - definitly a love like no pther!
I'm hoping as the series continues she thaws him out and the series gets more interesting!

Definitely One of My Faves

I am a fan of both the ML and the FL so I was very happy to see them them together in both of these stories. They were different in their previous lives obviously and I think the changes to their modern characters was a good transition. Though it was strange at first to see the ML as a very awkward professor. I am glad they got their happy ending in this one. I also enjoyed all the other characters and was glad they did not spend too much time on the side characters. Good acting by everyone involved. I have lost track of the many Chinese dramas I have watched, both historical and modern, but these 2 are sitting safely in my top five Chinese dramas.

Beautiful drama - Love Triumphs- Worth the Watch

I have not watched the prequel of this drama, so had no idea of the back story - OMG I absolutely loved this drama- story, acting etc. Prof. Zhou Sheng Chen (Allen Ren) absolutely nailed the character - let me gush about him for a sec.... he needs to be given an award for this role...super intelligent, brilliant, sweet, nerdy and clueless about romance character he played to the Tee. Its not only Shi Yi who will fall in love with him/character, I think most girls would.

Towards the end, he turned out to be really romantic, as Shi Yi said in the last episode "you are quite romantic", & you are one who "acts & doesn't talk" unlike most people who talks too much without the act. Bai Lu as Shi Yi did a fabulous job too. I loved the fact that she was established in her own career, who is not afraid to take leave, have babies - I think subtly they are trying to show taking maternity leave/getting married is all part of life's journey - it should NOT be negatively inferred in any job sector. I liked Shi Yi's best friend/house mate, every girl should have a bestie like that (reference here the first couple of episodes, where she takes every opportunity to find a way for Shen Yi to meet the Prof. hehe).

The drama references to the back story (S1), in the right amount so that one who hasn't seen S1 will not be lost...the ending is happy & sweet, but I would have loved to see the last couple of minutes of the episodes with their kids -then it will be like a full circle, they loved each other for centuries, so such an ending would have been epic.

There some emotional scenes towards the end when Shi Yi falls in a coma, how her parents doesn't let Sheng Chen see her - he doesn't give up , stays outside the hospital room for days & finally the parents too acknowledge his genuine love for Shi Yi... The first words she spoke after she woke up from the coma was "Zhou Sheng Chen" for her in all her lifetimes there is just no other - only him... so so cute. During this time (whilst she was in the coma), apart from reading her diary & understanding the love she has for him, the sweet romantic things our Professor did ( to show her when she wakes up from Coma) was just fabulously sweet.

Would recommend it to anyone who loves and believes in 'forever and ever' kind of love.

Romantic Love Story that spand through two life times

I don't know how to express it, but after watched it, every single scene about Zhoucheng Chen & Shi Yi was across my mind, and make me want to watch again.

Indeed the story and/or the plot is not too strong especially when it comes the conflict between Zhoucheng Chen & Wenchuan.
Infact it were more portrayed in One & Only between the Xiau Nancheng Wang & the Crown Prince.
But again the story is not about the strife for power, it were more about the love strory of Zhoucheng Chen & Shi Yi, and I love about it.
I love the initiative Shi Yi towards Zhoucheng Chen, I love how Zhoucheng Chen bit by bit fall in love with Shi Yi, I love how protected, caring Zhoucheng Chen to Shi Yi. I just love everything about it when it comes the story between these two main lead.

Since I watched the Legends of Bai Lu, I love her acting. I also love the chemistry between her & every single actors in all of her drama.
Same like here in this drama. As for the other cast, I must say that their acting also superb.

As for the music & the ost, I also love about it

Overall, i love everything about it, and love the outfit wear by Shi Yi.

BEAUTY AND THE TURTLE ?

that's my title for this drama, I haven't seen One and Only and might watch it later in future....
I watch this has a stand-alone drama
Which tell the story of a beautiful girl who is Likely slightly delusional voice dubber falls head over heels in love with a fictional ancient drama character Prince Nanchen. She throws herself at a complete stranger; a nutty, loner of a professor(Trutle) with the same name who is a bit slow on the uptake but eventually realises he just got very, very lucky and thus the story unfolds.

The Fact that she noticed him just because of similer name and not because she felt a connection to him by looking into his eyes or some deja Vu past life flashback
But just his same name to the character and she gladly tell him why she even considered exchange number with a turtle looking guy,that because your parents give you that name,
Girl told him ,I am interested in your name not you so go home and thanks your dead parents for giving you that name,
If this man ever thought of changing his name then his marrital status would also change to single again.
Although i feel FL had some genuine feeling created from her delusion of past lives.
But they connect thorough just similer name look really shallow.

It was a morden drama but comparison to One and only but passion was missing and skinship was missing since they were married couple and young, it almost look like ML was Asexual.. that fl as to beg him for those things.

I just don't like that ML had no devlopment and i only get that he got very very lucky to find a delusional hot chick on airport
But never able to believe that he had any genuine feelings towards that woman, he just accepted her delusional feelings , i don't see him reciprocate anything.
There love was hollow, Grl did not love this Turtle professor but a fictional character from a film.

I still give it a 9/10 because this look like a dream come true for an introvert loner kind of story
Once in a billion that a hot chick at airport will run towards a Average looking nerd with an boring personality and then she herself ask his contect number to become his Friend and then over six month of boring email exchanges, devloped a crush on him, and start pursing him...

I can understand her being delusional in love and falling for him, what i am afraid of is when her delusional bobble blast, and she start noticing all other hot guys smitten over her while her boring husband is too lazy to even took advantage of god given gift,

Only thing i like about ML is admitting to have some feelings towards fl earlier in drama and suggest to be engaged for real, not that contract marriage shit.

Supresas, alegrias e tristezas

Em muitos momentos pensei: esse drama é lento, a construção dos personagens é lenta, não sei se vou gostar disso.
Mas, pouco a pouco comecei a me questionar porquê essa preciosidade não é divulgada.
Ótimo encontrar um drama que obriga a gente a pensar para chegar a conclusões e não entrega de bandeja.
Passei parte do tempo não entendendo o porquê de muitas coisas, mas aos poucos as teorias vão se clarificando até chegar ao auge com a cena da confirmação. E isso acontece em vários momentos, E faz tudo ser ainda mais lindo.
Fiquei com medo das perdas, chorei as perdas, chorei com os personagens, amei cada detalhe e a conclusão ao final foi: existe amor de mais! Mas, mesmo assim, é preciso colocar limites e não fechar os olhos para os erros dos outros. Exemplo de drama onde os erros geram reais consequências.
Enfim, não desistam por achar lento. Nesse drama, tudo tem o seu tempo.

"Most people’s eyes are shallow...."

"Most people’s eyes are shallow, seeing only the skin-deep appearance and not the ‘bones,’ the appearance of the inside.”.


This drama has Ren Jia Lun and Bai Lu, they make up the outward beauty, the part that draws you into their story. But it's their connection, their romance, their determination to be together forever no matter what that makes up the 'bones' of this story. This is the inner beauty.

I watched this right after finishing One and Only and I can only say how absolutely perfect this drama was. From start to finish I loved every second of it.

I should warn you there is angst, needless supporting character death and a couple of characters, if you're like me that you will hate on sight.
If you like action, there aren't really any action scenes (aside from a couple of fights), if you like fast paced and/or spice, you should watch something else this drama won't be for you.
But if you love romance, slow, burn romance, slice of life romance... the sink into a blanket in front of a roaring fire romance, sweet, sweet kisses, warm hugs in a bathtub this is the drama for you.

If you're a fan of Ren Jia Lun give this a chance (especially immediately after you've watched One and Only) you won't regret it. My only regret is that I didn't watch these two dramas sooner.

"Zhousheng Chen, te amo para siempre..."

Si disfrutas de ver cdramas cuya historia avanza lenta pero llena de amor y momentos adorables entre los protagonistas, entonces ¿qué esperas? ¡Ve a ver Forever and Ever!


Una digna continuación de One and Only y la razón por la que me va a costar superar a tan hermosa pareja. Sin dudas ShiYi y Chen se hicieron un espacio en mi corazón y nadie podrá moverlos: su relación fue simplemente hermosa y perfecta (probablemente de las más sanas que he visto en un cdrama) No tengo queja alguna porque ellos en todo momento fueron puro respeto, honestidad y cariño ¿qué más puedo pedir? ¡Nada! A su historia no le faltó nada y su final fue tan cálido, de mis favoritos hasta el momento.💖

Y necesito destacar a los personajes secundarios que en todo momento sumaron con su carisma: la mejor amiga de Shiyi y su representante fueron de lo más simpáticas ¡Y cero tóxicas! El señor Lin y su sobrino, la cocinera, los primos de ambos, ¡incluso los padres de Shiyi! Todos ellos sumaron mucho también y se llevan mi aprecio✨

Datos extra: es una muy fiel adaptación de la novela original y durante toda la trama encuentras referencias a OaO que te llenan el corazón, logrando que llegue a la conclusión de que esta historia puedes verla de ambas maneras: primero OaO y luego FaE o viceversa👌



Ahora bien, como me gusta dar reseñas honestas, Forever and Ever no será la excepción: admito que por momentos me aburría, en ambos cdramas el conflicto me ha parecido flojo y como ambas historias siguen más o menos el mismo enfoque y estructura al momento de presentarlo; hubo capítulos en los que pensé: "definitivamente esta historia podría caber en menos de 20 capítulos" y ¡oh sorpresa! FaE tiene ¡30 capítulos! Pero adoré tanto a la pareja que esos momentos aburridos fueron aplacados porque después de tanto dolor vivido en OaO ¿como podría quejarme?

Por último mencionar que la muerte de WenXing me pareció injusta y que a último momento pusieran a Mei Xing recordándola mientras todos los demás celebran simplemente me rompió el corazón.

Y eso sería todo aunque en realidad sienta que podría decir mucho más: como que la producción ha sido preciosa de ver en todo momento con escenarios HERMOSOS, y el OST es de los más perfectos que he oído junto con el de One and Only, simplemente cada canción encaja en el momento justo y se ha vuelto mi favorito.

¡Lo dejo aquí! Sigo procesando que debo seguir con mi vida sin Shiyi y Chen en ella para alegrarme las noches😭

Majestic Masterpiece!!!

Got fall in love with this drama and the latter one "One And Only". The "One And Only" which is the historical drama of this sequel quite amazed me also due to their ethereal love to each other though, they didn't end up together and much worse they died after😭. Good thing, this sequel make up for the hearbreaking ending of "One And Only" as they reincarnated in the modern world and become husband and wife at the early episode. The ML is a very reserved man and not a proactive, maybe because he's too serious with his career as being a well-known scientist and at the same time professor. How cute he is everytime he become dull-headed when it comes to romance and sweet gestures😂, too shy to initiate the moves👀. Well, the FL will have to take the lead🤣. I admire her for being unwavering woman and kinda cool of how she gets her way into his heart (girl power💪). This drama speaks loudly their admiration intent gaze and smooth action yet, for me it appeared too sweet than skinship. The only hindrance here is the diverse family rules and manners of the ML's clan, I hate the guts of his mother but, eventually I got her point after. I was very satisfied with Ren Jialun and Bai Lu's portrayal of their characters and how they naturally articulate it. Just recently, they both received an awards which convince me more to pursue untill the sequel. Therefore, I conclude it is beyond three dimensional👏👏👏. I was filled with good vibes with all of their OST (walang tapon✔). In the poem "Fu In The Imperial Park" which Shi Yi wrote, there's a line there that retain on my mind 'Beauty and the soul are given, the heart is overturned'😍. Anyway, kudos to all of the production team.

One & Only was better in terms of story. This is better for romantic moments between the leads.

One & Only was better in terms of story. This is better for romantic moments between the leads. In one and only we all knew and saw the love between the two, but they never really got to take it a step forward. They were always confined by their positions in life and their responsibilities. So, Forever & Ever is a good sequel for their story, however the 30 episodes are a bit much.

The one thing that went wrong with the story is that apart from the leads, it has a completely different cast of character. None of them came back to life, I wish her cousin and the general had gotten a second chance as well. Having the crown prince reincarnate would also have been a better antagonist compared to a pain-in-the-ass mother/mother-in-law and shady brother. It would have made the story more interesting. (I read on MDL that Mei Xing is supposed to be the crown prince and Wen Xin princess Xing Hua, but their story arc wasn't all that good) But at least, this time around he chose to let go of his crush on the FL and decided to look at Wen Xin but again that was doomed as well.

The ML's step mother is kinda weird. If you have to take out your frustrations on someone your son is the better candidate, he is the one who went against your wishes and married someone you didn't want him to. She could be less of a controlling harpy and stereotypical mother-in-law as well as step-mother. She has been outright rude to Shi Yi since the first moment they met. I am not a fan of decisions she makes coddling her son when he led to the death of her daughter, how on the earth she could forgive him. Either Shi Yi Or Zhou Sheng Chen would have ended up dead if they hadn't dragged along his punishment for so long.

The prequel had a more powerful impact, but I liked this one for its uniqueness as well. The relationship between the two and their marriage is something that we can all hope for. The easy camaraderie and care for each other was so good to watch.

ZSC and SY has gone a long way to be finally together

As everyone knows, Forever and Ever is the sequel for One and Only.
I personally watched OAO then only FAE (though I understand some watched either one only, or the other way round).

Extreme brief summary:
Shi Yi (FL), a voice actor, dubbing for a movie which the character is named Zhou Sheng Cheng (ML). Because of this, when she heard ML's name to be ZSC (same as the character for the movie she is dubbing for), she got intrigue and went after him, and there goes the love story of theirs.

Story:
If you're looking for an exciting drama full of sweetness, laughter, or every episodes of honey splash to you, it might not be what you think so. Even though the OAO and FAE are not linked, its more of their past life and present time, 2 separate stories. The drama plot might be boring for viewers just watching FAE. Nevertheless , yes the drama is still filled with cute and happy scenes. I would still think FAE lacking in story. Family feud is not significantly bad (that's because they view the family's money to be shared and supported by the whole family, and not for individual's benefit - but of course there will be that ONE person who thinks the other way round).

SY is more dominant in this. ZSC is like a rookie in love but you can see his character develop and he is more into showing his love behind without expressing.

Either way, all because I've watched OAO beforehand, the links of what happened in OAO comes into mind whenever i watched FAE. An example would be, in OAO - ZSC had to go fight into war without knowing when to be back, whereas in FAE - you will see ZSC being a character that's very particular on his schedule. You can see how much the writer put the effort for the story.

Acting:
No bias here but both Bai Lu and Allen Ren acting is top notch. Every small detail have made them into the character. Just FYI, both of them have totally different personalities from the characters (you can see it in the BTS). All the second and sub-characters acting were so good as well. Definitely enjoyed the drama.

OST:
THEM FEELS!!! I've been replaying it non-stop ever since!

Thoughts:
I'd actually rewatch the whole OAO and FAE together again after a few months. It just felt the drama from lovely and sad (OAO) up to sweet and healing (FAE). The drama is interesting and i enjoyed it. Next round will be reading through the book it was adapted into hehe
