Entre a Razão e a Emoção (2021)

Interesting topic

Lots of food for thoughts in this series.
Love the part when she explains she was able to buy an appartement because she didn’t spend all her money on luxury goods or when he explains his friends that you don’t need money to be happy, just love each other... Find it unbelievable that you can bring a partner to a social gathering and leave her alone at the bar... Hope the kind of series will continue to set higher expectations for Chinese male...
A little “over” acting specially at the beginning, long dumb staring, I prefer when emotion are lighter and more natural, but I love the 2 main leads, we want more series with DD! 王鹤棣！
Sounds like some music is from Meteor garden Taiwan version, let me know if you recognize the theme.
Happy to learn more vocabulary about new energy vehicle.
Looking forward to know the end...

O casal demora pra ficar junto

A série tem 35 episódios, mas o casal só engata a partir do episódio 25. Antes disso, se tem 2 ou 3 cenas deles sem graça um com o outro é muito. Pra mim esse foi o ponto fraco pq a história fica arrastada e eu só continuei por causa dos personagens que são legais. Porém, por mais que esse seja o ponto fraco, pensando pelo lado positivo ela não relutou em aceitar o namoro. Assim que ele se declara ela já aceita ficar com ele e o casal é muito fofo e maduro. Não assistiria novamente pq tanto o romance do casal principal quanto do secundário só se desenrola a partir do episódio 25, mas depois dele é cada cena mais fofa do que a outra.

Autêntico

Não sei se eu mudei, se estava com saudades de doramas com o Dylan Wang ou se o drama é realmente tudo isso, mas só sei que esse é o terceiro melhor drama que eu já vi.
Dificilmente gosto das protagonistas de hoje em dia e dificilmente gosto de tudo em um dorama, mas esse carinha é diferente. Ele rompe barreiras e levanta temas disfarçadamente. A presença do emponderamento feminino é maravilhosa, pois a protagonista passa por CADA situação machista e desprezível. Ao mesmo tempo, também são retratados outros temas como casamento, materialismo, desmerecimento de pessoas jovens, as falcatruas em ambientes de trabalho, sustentabilidade..., mas acho que tudo gira em torno da temática feminina. Questões como "mulheres servem apenas para fazer filhos?", "mulheres não podem fazer o que querem?", "mulheres precisam gostar de crianças e agir com feminilidade?", "mulheres não servem para coordenar empresas?", "mulheres são frágeis e não pensam muito?", "mulheres não podem ficar com homens mais novos?".
Todas essas questões levam a seguinte resposta: NÃO.
Esse drama trouxe um romance lindo e simples, sem nada muito intenso e que me fizesse ficar extremamente presa, mas trouxe muitas reflexões lindas para guardar em meu coração. Fora que essa protagonista é perfeita, MEU DEUS!
Se você só quer algo meio meloso e clichê, não sei se é a hora de ver esse dorama, pois ele não segue a linha de uma garota pobre com um cara rico. Muito pelo contrário! Ela lutou muito para ter o dinheiro dela e o rapaz também trabalha muito todos os dias para ter seu sustento.

SOBRE O DORAMA EM SENTIDO DE ROMANCE:
Demora uns 25 episódios até você ver um só abraço. Sim, você não leu errado e eu não estou me precipitando. Também fiquei um pouco impaciente, mas eles te preparam para isso. Por ser um dorama com uma temática MUITO amadurecida, o romance também é amadurecido. Você consegue ver um romance nascer entre os dois. É quase como se você estivesse vendo uma gestação toda detalhada. Eu sou impaciente e fiquei bem calma até o momento. Acho que esse é um dos pontos fortes do dorama: a espera. Não gosto de romance que não é bem trabalhado e esse com certeza foi bem trabalhado.

Recomendo hoje, recomendo amanhã e recomendo sempre.

Como produccion de netflix es algo pobre

Este es mi primer drama chino que no este enfocado en la escuela/ universidad y fue justamente el porque empecé a ver el drama ya que quería conocer una vista más "madura" de su sociedad aunque obviamente que mucho este exagerado.
La trama sobre una mujer fuerte, empoderada en un ámbito de trabajo y sociedad super machista me encanta, creo que es de mis cosas preferidas en dramas asiáticos pero a eso también le sumaron una relación de mas de 10 años de diferencia así que quede encantado y atrapado en toda la historia pero poco a poco mi interés empezó a decaer por lo pésimas que son las actuaciones del 90% del cast... Creo que el mas notorio u al menos en el cual yo lo note primeramente fue con el chico secundario que es amigo del principal pero después las situaciones se hacían mas y mas notorias al punto que me pregunte si seguir viendo o no pero cuando la pareja principal se consolido y empezaron a mostrar la química que tenían juntos y a eso sumado el crecimiento del matrimonio amigo de la protagonista me decidí a terminarlo porque verdaderamente me gustaron ellos 4 pero quien en realidad me devolvió el amor por este drama fue la madre del protagonista en la escena que tienen la charla de madres, personalmente me pareció espectacular y ame a esa señora.
En cuanto a la música hubo momentos flojos pero mas importantes fueron los momentos donde dijeron presente haciendo que escenas emotivas lo fueran mucho más, hubo algunas que con su acompañamiento me hicieron llorar sin que pudiera darme cuenta.
Para cerrar creo que es un buen drama con muy malas actuaciones pero que mostro que es necesario cambiar el chip de la generación anterior a este siglo.

Absolutely nothing special

Typical plot with predicable dialogue.

Start of the drama I already can see that there will be too many disgusting characters
Office male butt
Overbearing mom you can skip all her lines right away

I am not sure how realistic this is but the office male dominating environment with frequent sexist comments as the norm seems excessive?
Overbearing mom w/ too many lines
The ex insulting her age and income status yet comes back to assume his act can be forgiven?
She gets wrongfully terminated and she doesn't fight back
This is all within the first 3 ep and with zero comedic side kicks aka supporting characters.

What's good about this drama?
Actress - she's 40+ looks 30!! She played her character well just that the script was terrible

৪/ ‘লাভ এট ফার্স্ট সাইট’ জাতীয় জিনিস দেখে দেখে যদি বিরক্ত হয়ে যান তবে আপনার জন্যই এই ড্রামা। এই ড্রামা দেখতে বসলে বুঝতে পারবেন কিভাবে ধীরে ধীরে একটা মানুষের প্রতি অন্য একটা মানুষের এফেকশান গ্রো করে। এবং একটা সময় আপনি নিজেই ঠোঁটের কোণায় হাসি ফুটিয়ে বলবেন- জাস্ট কিস নাআআআ…!!!
৫/ থার্ড পার্টির কারণে ব্রেকাপ, মিস-আন্ডারেস্ট্যান্ডিং, ফিলিংস নিয়ে কনফিউশন, জাজমেন্টাল আর কাওয়ার্ড ফিমেল লিড, উপরে কোল্ড আর এরোগেন্ট কিন্তু ভিতরে কেয়ারিং মেইল লিড - এসব দেখতে দেখতে যদি বিরক্ত হয়ে যান এবং এসবের বাইরে কিছু খোঁজেন তবে আপনার জন্যই এই ড্রামা। এখানে এই জাতীয় কোন ফেইক ইমোশন নেই।
সর্বোপরি আমার সাজেশান থাকবে, আপনি যদি ফ্রেন্ডশীপ, রোমান্স সমৃদ্ধ রিয়েলিস্টিক কোন লাইট ড্রামা খুঁজেন তাহলে এক্ষুণি বসে যান The Rational Life নিয়ে। তবে ড্রামায় প্রচুর কিস সিন আর বেড সিন খুঁজলে খানিকটা হতাশ হতে হবে! এখানে ঐসব তেমন নেই!
ড্রামায় আমার সবচেয়ে ফেভারিট সিন হচ্ছে নায়ক যখন নায়িকার মা-কে তাদের রিলেশানের ব্যাপারে কনভিন্স করানোর জন্য বলে- "You've never asked me why I like her. I like her because of how special she is. Her ability and strength, everyone can see that side of her. But her cuteness and softness, only I can see that." উফ! চোখে পানি এনে দেয়া সিন!
অফটপিকঃ ড্রামায় নায়িকার বয়স ৩৪, আর নায়কের ২২। নায়কের বয়স বাস্তবেও ২২ কিন্তু নায়িকার বয়স বাস্তবে ৪২!!! বিশাল টাশকি খাইছি এটা দেখে! ৪২ বছরেও নায়িকারে এত কিউট লাগে যে ৩০+ ও মনে হয় না!!!

Karma is a bitch... but the romance is slow burn

Production and acting were very well done. Costume and styles were fantastic- very modern and chic and Qi Lan pulled it off. Dylan Wang- much better than Meteor Garden.

This drama focused more on the strong, independent woman having to deal with manipulative and backstabbing superiors as well as office politics. So it’s catered towards a more matured audience. But in the end, like I said- karma’s a bitch! ;) The romance and chemistry was somewhat lacking for me, their kissing scenes were disappointing too lol.

Best character was Qi Xiao’s mum! That woman was not only supportive, she was SO WISE, and the pearls of wisdom given to her son and thereafter to Shen Ruoxin’s mum was spot on! Kudos to the writers for that gem! I also particularly liked the part where both leads were explaining to Shen Rouxin’s mum why they liked each other. Their words were so poetic and meaningful.

I did however SKIP A LOT! Yes unfortunately, because it was boring and predictable. It got really draggy somewhere between episodes 10-21... then it picked up again. Side characters had depth in their relationships, but I just found it dull. If you’re into romance and chemistry, don’t bother with this one. He only confessed his love in episode 27!! Hahaha.... slow burn romance. After that also not much action lol. :):)

I would not have finished this drama if not for the fast-forwarded button. Nothing but the main couple was worth my time. The secondary couples were so bland and boring, and I could even care less about their individual lives. The only other aspect that I did watch besides the romance of the main CP was the office politics. I was rooting for Ruo Xin to get her comeuppance and well-deserved executive position. The only other character besides the main couple who I liked was Qi Xiao's mother. Compared to Ruo Xin's mother (the stereotypical Asian mom), Li Ting is a breath of sunshine in terms of mothers in Chinese-drama land. I was also excited about the arrival of Xu Ming Jie, not in terms of a rival suitor, but as an intuitive and supportive boss who wants to see Ruo Xin's career flourish despite being rejected.

Very Relatable

I like the story but it was a little to long. I know that the question about an older women and a younger man and the issue with her mother. Her mother seem to want women to be independent and learn to live with out a support of a men but then she is old fashion and wants her daughter to have a wealthy husband and older then her daughter. The mother contradicts her self thru out the whole drama. As old as the female lead is, she is insecure and not confident enough. But the lead male helps her to be confident and secure and that is why he fall in love with her and she with him. He show her that a men can be caring, supportive, and loving. I like the supportive women characters also who help her succeed but not the characters who bring her down and make her in secure. That is what her mothers contradiction makes her to be. The lead female is strong and picks a strong career as a lawyer but when her job choice is not up to her mother stander and her mother is not proud of the job she choose, she becomes insecure and not confident of herself. This is something that many of us women know how it feel and understand. I enjoy the ending. The actors performance was great and the story was good.

Mi aspettavo di più

Primissima cosa da dire: questo drama è ESTREMAMENTE lento. Quindi se cercate qualcosa di veloce, di ritmico, di allettante che vi faccia venire voglia di divorarlo, cambiate opera. Ogni episodio dura all'incirca 40-45 minuti, ma sono 35 episodi. Una marea e il fatto che la narrazione sia lenta non aiuta per niente.
Il drama, secondo me, voleva trattare due argomenti in particolare: donna in carriera in un ambiente di lavoro prettamente maschile e maschilista, e una love story tra una donna adulta e un "ragazzino". Il primo punto a parer mio l'ha svolto davvero molto bene, la lotta di questa donna all'interno di un'azienda vecchio stampo che mal vede una figura femminile tra le sue fila e soprattutto che vorrebbe salire di grado. Meno male che in questo campo non tutti gli uomini sono così e ci sarà sicuramente qualcuno ad aiutarla, però sempre una battaglia è e lei stessa più volte si farà valere.
L'altro punto invece...
Finchè i due non si mettono insieme, la storia mi stava piacendo moltissimo anche se lenta. Poi la quiete totale, che dici boh. A parte qualche scaramuccia con la madre di lei, i nostri personaggi non trovano davvero delle difficoltà nello stare insieme nonostante la notevole differenza di età. E qui il drama mi casca. Ma se finora sta povera crista doveva battersi per sedersi ad una scrivania per il solo fatto di essere donna, adesso che si scopre che sta con uno molto più giovane di lei non succede nulla? Nessuno fa "ah"?
Cioè, l'unica idea che hanno è stata infilare a forza un personaggio a caso spuntato dal nulla per "mettere in crisi" (che poi che crisi oh) la coppia? Oh ma ci siamo?

In pratica consiglio la visione solo se avete pazienza e volete vedere una donna battersi per se stessa.

p.s. Cmq anch'io come altre persone ho recuperato l'opera in primis per Dylan Wang: in questo caso attore che interpreta il co-protagonista maschile, ma conosciuto nel drama cinese Meteor Garden. Volevo vedere se era maturato e devo ammettere che come recitazione non è niente male in confronto ad altri attori presenti nel drama.

A Good Slow-Burn Slice of Life Drama which Shows the Outdated Mindset if the Society

This drama is a great series. I know that a lot of people found the romance to be too slow, which is understandable, but it's still realisitc, given their age gap in which the woman is much much older than the man. This drama is a lot about life: the hardships women face, struggles to look for a job, marital problems which include casual chauvinism and negligence, pressure to have kids and most importantly, the pressure of a single thirty-something woman to get married (what the female protagonist faces in the drama) and prejudices surfacing a May-December romance.

I binged it and finished it in 4-5 days ever since it released on Netflix. This drama is an interesting and mature outlook on the regressive mindset of the society. This is the first ever drama that I binged, as it kept me hooked. I may not relate to it now as I'm a teen, but I may, if I get older. It's still worth a watch. It has some funny moments too, but most of it is for flavour.

I find this drama very refreshing, seeing a strong, intelligent and older female lead, and a sweet, extremely supportive, mature, understanding but smart male lead. All of the actors performed very well here. I want to praise Qin Lan jiejie for of course, giving a great performance as Shen Ruoxin, who shined on her own and didn't need a man to help her, and also being a great mentor to Dylan Wang. And also, I want to praise Dylan for nailing this role, keeping in mind that Qi Xiao is very different from his actual personality, and that he had not training in acting and has 4 years of experience. It's very refreshing to see him shed his bad-boy image which was created in his Meteor Garden days, and I didn't even see a trace of Daoming Si in it! His acting is very natural here, and this is his best character so far. He was a delight to watch. Okay! Enough fangirling! Moving on further:

Despite the 19-year age gap, the leads had great chemistry, even before their characters were in a relationship, as they also made a great team when he was her assistant. I love that Shen Ruoxin and Qi Xiao had a mature relationship in which there was a great understanding between them. Qi Xiao was always there as emotional support for Shen Ruoxin whenever she was in trouble, and was also caring and protective of her, while also focussing on his own goals. I actually find this refreshing from the usual completely self-sacrificing characters he played (I've explained this in my feed), while also seeing an intelligent, strong, mature and ambitious female lead, quite contrary to the usual, dumb and childish FLs in CDramas. Apart from being ambitious, she was also calm and composed (another very refreshing thing about her). The romance developed slowly, and both the characters were well written: both of them had a mature as well as a childish side to them, and were always there for each other. That is important. And yes, Shen Ruoxin shined on her own ;)

My second favourite is the married couple: Song Ziyan and Zou Cheng. Their arc was also very interesting, because of their initial conflicts as their respective egos take place, to how they work on mending their relationship in which both of them compromised. This shows that marriage means being inclusive and considerate to each other's feelings, and also about self-respect. Great job Bao Wenjing and Kang Kang! *clap*

And apart from those two arcs, my favourite is the friendship shared by both Shen Ruoxin and Qi Xiao's mothers. Both of them are of opposite personalities: Mother Shen is a domineering and traditional woman (because of what she's experienced) who mostly takes control of her daughter's life and pressurises her to get married, while Mother Qi is a very sweet, caring, kind and a liberal woman who never interfered in her son's life. Unlike many comments here, I'm not hating Mother Shen, as she's also a good person, but her experiences made her like that. It's because of Qi Xiao's mom that Ruoxin's mom changes her outlook on life and her daughter.

I like that there was no typical love triangle and unnecessary scenes of the main leads trying to convince their parents about how serious they are (as said in one of the comments here)! And that Xu Mingjie never became a "villain" here (it would've been very disappointing otherwise)! These are also the refreshing things about this drama.

Props to the writers for making each and every scene realistic, and also writing all of the characters as humans and not making fairytale-like characters, and unnecessarily complicated plots which would have been an extremely cliched idol drama, while also making women the hero of their own lives, as all the women were portrayed strong, smart and capable. This is a great feminist drama. I recommend you to watch it if you want dramas that are not so frustratingly cliched. This is definitely a great watch.

Too too long with few going on

The story is ok.


STORY - A tough, interesting woman struggling in a male society with the help of a caring and loving companion. He starts as her assistant and become in love with her and her support.
In between, the age gap problem, the conservative mother, a sort of love triangles, backstabbing attempts,etc.
There are also other 2 couples, both not so interesting, especially Qi Xiao roommate.
This is an interesting portrait of some of society problems, maybe is modern China also.

CAST - Most done a good job, particularly the main couple.

MUSIC - do not remember any song, so it was not interesting for me.

REWATCH - I will never rewatch mainly because of 2 things: the unnecessary length and the lack of awesome and memorable moments. Although I enjoyed watching

OVERALL - It was ok. The subject of electric cars and some of the issues like charging were interesting. The main couple was nice to see. The stories around the drum girl, motherhood, dependency, etc was ok. Even the fashion and design was not bad. But most of the themes were treated shallowly.

ENDING - I never understood the way these dramas are shot! During all the series we are conducted by the director, as if we were stupid to not understand the feelings or who or what the characters were thinking. And then, they deliver short endings, sometimes open endings or without the closure that I, at least, would like to see...
