Quando Nós Casarmos (2021)

super cliché yet cute

This drama has all the cliché scenes and plots that all "rich boy poor woman" dramas had. All the plot that you thought of, such as scenes where the ML knows exactly when and where the FL would be in danger and saving her every single time. Being able to catch her before she falls, her falling and ended up kissing him etc.

Though predictable and cliché, they are pretty cute together. I would prefer if they lessen the number of accidental kisses, or forced kisses and the random small kisses though. All these felt very superficial and fake.

Personally, I thought that the second couple didn't really add any value to the drama. They make me want to skip their scenes.

I really like Xiao Ya as a friend though, she is constantly so supportive, despite causing so many troubles throughout. She's so cute and always there for Xi Xi.

Overall, feel very neutral about the main characters, I don't dislike them nor do I like them a lot. I would recommend it if you like cliché dramas which are light and sweet.

It's the not the best drama but still it's good it's for people who watch sweet, soft and cute dramas with lots of love scenes cuz it has many kiss scenes the drama was overall good but some scenes sometimes made me cringe but some were okay and some were good.
Acting and cast: 10/10 The acting of the cast was good especially xi wei she acted really well as a scheming girl she suited that kind of role also she made me hate her that shows that she acted really well. Wang ziqi his acting was good too he suited his role and is good looking.
Wang yuwen is now like my most favourite actress she is so pretty and cute also she acted really well and she is really good at doing cute roles it suits her also I don't cringe at all when she acts cute cuz I've seen many drama's where the female lead don't suit the cute role at all and they mess up so she was quite good but what disappointed me the most was her wardrobe it was not like the wardrobe of a fashion designer but it's not the actress's fault she still looked lovely but in my opinion she suits that rich role and I want her to do that cuz I'm also fan of dramas with rich female leads and with the best fashion sense and outfits so I wanted her to do that too but I hope she plays a rich female lead role in the future with nice clothes ofcourse and not repeated outfits same with the male lead and second female lead
The supporting cast was good but I didn't paid attention to them cuz I think even if they were not in the drama it would have been the same but it's ok.
Overall it was a good drama didn't liked it that much but watched it for the female lead liked her alot and also the top notch chemistry of the main leads was good so cuz of that I will give it a 7.5/10.

Predictable but main leads' chemistry kept me interested

This series is featured in a top drama list on YouTube. I think it was about contract marriage oh well I was intrigued hence I watched it

What I like
1. Romance - Wang Zi Qi & Wang Yu Wen have beautiful partnership that their characters look like a real couple. They are affectionate with each other. The morning after scene was so sweet.
2. Si Chen's characterisation - mostly about his personal side not professional side. I like how he acknowledges his growing feelings for Xixi and tries to win her heart. He did not deny his feelings.
3. Handbag drama - This occurred during grandma's birthday party. I like this story because it demonstrated Xixi's resilience.
4. Wang Zi Qi - I like that he looks like a normal businessman not a movie star. I find him attractive once his character opens up to his wife. He looks like Kim Sungkyu from Infinite especially with fringe/hair down.
5. Chen Xun - arresting visual. He looks like he is part of Twilight's Cullen family. Pale skin contrasting with dark brown hair. Bloodshot eyes.

What I dislike
1. Over the top stories - some stories/scenes are too dramatic and unnecessary. For example, the attacker.
2. Fashion - for a fashion shopper/designer, Xixi has horrible fashion sense.
3. Xixi's characterisation - childish & klutz.

Favourite scene
Xixi's birthday celebration scene.

Short, sweet, and a whole lot of cliche

I am such a sucker for contract marriage and enemies to lovers dramas. They're definitely my guilty pleasure and going into it, I know to expect a lot of ridiculousness and cliches. And I think that's exactly what we got here. Honestly, I think this drama is perfect for just a short, sweet, lighthearted, and easy watch, when you're just in the mood for that type of cliché romance drama. This drama has tons of sweet moments (and a whole lots of kisses) and the main couple is absolutely adorable, but just don't expect anything with too much depth because you're not going to find it here.



[SPOILERS AHEAD]
Now, for the many things that I didn't like in this drama, because even with going in with my lowered expectations, I was still disappointed at some points:
1. I really hated Ran Xi Wei, which of course, is her sole purpose of being there. But I hated that she basically just got to skate on by throughout the entire drama, causing all these problems and essentially getting away scot-free at the end. Yeah, Yin Si Chen stepped up and created firm boundaries with her and warned her multiple times to stop and eventually broke off his friendship with her, but I didn't find that ending very satisfying enough and of course, our sweet Gu Xi Xi was still pretty nice to her in the end, it was just not satisfactory tin the end on this aspect
2. Mo Zi Xin was pretty damn annoying. He played his role of a love rival but it was pretty ridiculous how he kept showing up even in the later half of the drama once the main couple's relationship really was established. He was basically borderline stalkerish and honestly, I thought that was the direction they were going into to make Mo Zi Xin the bad guy, but they really just left him as a nice guy till the end and then he didn't even show up in the last couple of episodes. I didn't mind it but it just further emphasized that he wasn't needed in this drama.
3. I really did not care about the second couple AT ALL. They didn't need to add them in at all and I just could not find a single shred of care for them. They didn't add to the story at all and I would've much rather them make a second couple out of Yin Si Chen's secretary and Gu Xi Xi's best friend instead!

This is an absolute delightful drama, although not perfect, it really delivers on the romance part of the plot. The second couple is almost unimportant in the development of the story and some supporting actors lacked enthusiasm portraying their characters. The drama is the typical contract marriage where a bickering couple, Yin Sichen (Wang Zi Qi) and Gu Xi Xi (Wang Yu Wen), is forced into a contract marriage. Little by little, as trouble finds its way into their life, they start to appreciate each other and fall in love. Misunderstandings don’t last long and, although the poorly acted antagonist kept her antics almost all the way to the end, Yin Sichen and Gu Xi Xi’s love and reciprocal protection make the drama worth watching. The leading couple has very good chemistry and the drama is realistic presenting a young couple in love that is crazy about each other. The drama has plenty of loving, playful, and skinship moments that escalate naturally into a true adoring and affectionate romance. Enjoy it!

Forgettable

Was it worth watching 24 45 min episodes? Maybe, but not worthy of returning for a repeat. Loved the ML, but the FL, not so much. I just could not get over her limper than limp, thin hair, ears that were overly prominent, and an unfortunate nose. If they had just given her some more volume with some hair extensions they might have saved her look. Who am I kidding, her wardrobe was awful too, and she was supposed to be an up and coming fashion designer?

Love rivals? Both were morally bankrupt to certain degrees. XiXi's rival, XeWei, did everything she could except boil the XiXi's rabbit (Fatal Attraction reference). She was a spoiled brat who just could not accept that the SiChen was just not into her. She should have woken up and smelled the coffee 15 years before when she was told be SiChen that he wasn't into the girl next door. He was not speaking figuratively, he literally meant her. She carried on with her delusion to the point of nearly ruining SiChen professionally. Talk about sour grapes, "If I can't have him, then I will destroy him, and his little dog too!"

SiChen's love rival, ZiXin, wasn't quite as bad, but still a loser. His character was a little unbelievable. What guy would invest that kind of cash into a girl when she has already married? Yes, ZiXin is all kinds of soft and cuddly, but he still pursued a married woman. My father was a lay minister. One of the most memorable things he taught me was "Married, is married, is married and single, is single, is single, never confuse the two." I don't care that SiChen and XiXi started out in a contractual relationship, they were still legally married. Even after she turned down ZiXin's confession, he still pursued her under the guise of "friendship". That was so not right. In the end he finally got the message, but he still seemed to get off on tweaking SiChen's nose a little.

In the end the leads discovered they complimented each other, and grew to appreciate their differences.

Bom, mas com furos

Assisti esse c-drama logo após de finalizar o The Love You Give Me com os mesmos protagonistas, e esse sendo o primeiro, os atores possuem uma química bem bacana, os beijos são melhores do que no segundo, então talvez tenha sido a produção que influenciou o desenvolvimento do outro e não uma questão dos atores em si.
A história é boa, porém tem muitos furos e excesso de enrolação, quando cheguei no episódio 17 já estava cansada e até o 20 o desenvolvimento ficou bem morno.
O casal secundário não fez muito sentido, da rejeição a ficarem juntos ficou uma lacuna muito grande. E nem se fala da "super amizade" entre a Xi Xi e a Ruo Na, se viram 1 vez e do nada já se rotulavam como melhores amigas kkkkkk Fiquei até pensando que tinha pulado algum episódio sem querer.
O Wang Zi Qi deu um lado cômico para o personagem Yin Si Chen, que me arrancou várias risadas e quando ele sorria pra Xi Xi eu sorria junto kkkkkkk
Não gosto do fato de infantilizarem tanto as mulheres em algumas situações, me fez revirar os olhos algumas interações da Xi Xi com o Chen...
É um c-drama para assistir sem criar muitas expectativas e passar um tempo bacana, é bom, mas não é um dos melhores e não é um dos piores.

Predictable plot with a charming main couple

I came to this drama for Wang Zi Qi, after watching him in The Love I Give You. He and Wang Yu Wen made a a cute couple in both dramas.

The unscrupulous villainess, Ran Xiwei, was the worst character in the drama. With her wealth and connections, she should have employed a fashion designer/stylist. Her fugly fashions and drab hairstyle worked against her. She could not even compare or defeat the Plain Jane Gu Xi Xi and her boring fashions and dull ponytail hairstyle. Some of Xi Xi's Cici design fashions were lovely.

The seniors, Alex, Grandma, Mother and Father were very nice. Shang KE and Mu Rou Na did not work for me. Perhaps different actors would have made them look more appealing and attractive. The different in their maturity level, experience and intelligence was 1000%.

Best Friend Xiaoyu and Fei'Ang should have coupled earlier in the plot, and receive a sub plot. I suspected that they would end up together at some point. Fei'Ang needs a hairstylist.

Ratings: Overall 7
Plot: 7.5 (Without Ran Yi Wei, it would be 8.5)
Costumes: 7.5 (Women's Fashions = 7. Men's Fashions = 8)
Hair: 7.0 (... except for Sichen, who gets 8).
Acting: 8
Music: 7 (The signing was too repetitive, but not obtrusive.)
Directing: 7.5
Editing: 7 (Flashbacks were not necessary.)
Casting: 7.5

Kudos to a great writer who wrote a love story just for me

The danger of this type of storyline is destroying the male lead beyond redemption. If you tear him down you have to build him back up to make the story work. I’ve always said that anything beyond the half way point is the danger zone. So many potentially great dramas have suffered this fate. I could name them but that’s not the point of this review. Let’s just say that this great writer Shang Ming Lu writes as if she’s watching her drama unfold in front of her eyes.

Somewhere around the halfway point the ML looks at the FL, who is sleeping, and says, “I like you”. This was an amazing release of tension that was building up in me. The point of change that you have to look for. It came with emotion and the understanding that things will be different. I wasn’t disappointed because a beautiful romance unfolded like a flower from this point forward.

It’s the kind of romance that makes you feel good and beg for more. A couple that stays together against all odds in total support of each other. It takes a good writer to accomplish this and still have drama filled with suspense and a great villain. It was a perfect romance filled with love and passion.

Yes, I’m a romantic, my MDL name shows that. This is the kind of story that I constantly search for. I’m sad that it’s over but happy that I had the opportunity to watch it.

Clichê atrás de clichê

Algumas palavras pra resumir essa série e te ajudar na decisão de assistir ou não:

É uma série boa?
Mais ou menos.
Tem clichê?
Até demais. Prota masculino sem emoção, estoico, poker face, dono de empresa blablabla e mulher mais nova que ele que é uma pessoa nada de especial à primeira vista (mas claro que ele vai descobrir as qualidades dela), contrato de casamento e consequente co-habitação e 300s maus entendidos pra enrolar a história até o fim dos tempos.
Mas mesmo assim consegue ser engraçada?
Sim.
Os atores são bons?
Os atores até que são bons, os problemas que eu vejo aqui estão mais ligados a produção.
Mas e a história?
Tem vários furos de roteiro, mal entendido atrás de mal entendido pra fazer a história continuar rolando porque se não tudo acabava em 5 episódios. O "dito" segundo casal tem uma evolução no relacionamento super esquisita, parece que saltou no tempo porque do nada a mulher simplesmente decide começar a gostar do cara sem nada de relevante ter acontecido. Muito estranho.
Recomendo essa série pra quem não tiver assim, mais nada de diferente pra assistir e só quiser uma história levinha pra dar umas boas risadas.
