Uma Queda por Você (2023)

Good at the start, then goes downhill

The switch between then & now were done well with the indication of which year the scenes came from. It was interesting introduction to the main leads’ background story. But by ep 2, it’s hard to be impressed by the ML because of his characters. I was hoping that he would somehow become better by each episodes. By ep 12, watching him became annoying & wished the FL could end up with someone better. You might have thought that through the years of his divorce & having a son, ML would mature & improve his ability to express himself better. But nope, he’s still that same person who was cold, insensitive, unsymphatetic & harsh with words even towards his dad, his son & of course, his ex-wife (FL). By ep 19, ML is still the worse kind it’s hard to grow fond of him. Due to his jealousy, he finally confessed to liking FL but did it with anger & frustration. And they hooked up again. The lawyer guy who was chasing after the FL & who tried to be nice to her parents, was treated just like a passer-by without sparing his feeling. When he visited her home, she simply played dumb & told him to mingle with her parents, while she left with ML who childishly made fun of the lawyer as they both drove past him. Note: FL just laughed away. At this point, both leads became so annoying to watch, it is more bearable to watch the developing story of the supporting casts. Giving credits to their acting because the leads did so well that I dislike their characters.

Disturbingly Annoying

The only reason I got to episode 12 is that I'm intrigued by how they are going to turn around such a horrible storyline and characters. There are supposed to be 36 episodes in this, but I feel it's beyond saving.

Dear writers,
How come you fed us with flashbacks of the past to understand their relationship but suddenly STOPPED completely with the format? You could be using the same resource at least to gain some perspective as to whether the ML suffered at all! did he regret it? What happened to his life during those 6 years? ANYTHING would do so that maybe, just maybe, we could have some kind of empathy for him ( I doubt it, but still). And the FL? Your attempt to portray her tougher in the present time is meaningless, she doesn't seem to have evolved AT ALL. Maybe show us a flashback to understand what she has been doing all this time that she's still unable to have some self-pride. My god.

Dear ML,
You are the worst. Nothing, not your childhood or your career, justifies the way you behave. We've been through cold leads before, but even the coldest of them all would at least show an ounce of awareness. Disgustingly self-centered with no charisma whatsoever. Why in the world would you adopt a kid? are they trying to make you look more 'human'? Absolute FAIL. An irresponsible adult with no self-improvement in 6 years. An indifferent husband, a terrible father, and a doctor without empathy or sensitivity. WORST DRAMA CHARACTER I'VE SEEN.

Dear FL,
You were delusional in the past and still are in the present time. Again, probably the most annoying, clingy, pathetic, and sad FL I've experienced in dramas. No self-love or self-pride of any kind, but a whole lot of self-pity. Submissive to an unimaginable degree. You were young and in love -I'll give you that -but how come you didn't grow a backbone in 6 years? I can also try to understand that you need to interact with him for career purposes (which you never seemed committed to, to begin with) but...Carpooling with your ex? Faking mom to HIS son? Sleeping over with them? Toxic is an understatement.

Dear Kid,
I pity you deeply. You are surrounded by emotionally irresponsible adults.

Dear Friends & Family,
Why in the world would you want your daughter/sister/friend back with a man that has never - not once - shown her any kind of love or respect? just WHY?

Overall, these characters are as flat as my ironing table, they haven't made any contemplation, progress, or evolution throughout the years, non. FL's love towards him is borderline, and ML never loved her at all (convince me otherwise).
With the second lead entering the scene (he took his time) I hope you can show this woman what real love is so she can do some growing up for once. As for the ML, I couldn't care less.

STORY:
A drama where FL chases ML and marries him thinking that he would fall in love with her during their time together ,but eventually struggles with one sided love and leaves him as she wants to be loved by someone who loves her as much as she loves.They are reunited after 6 years as doctors at same hospital.

The plot line gave me emergency couple vibes and so i started this drama and is good for watching it once and has a good amount of humor.

Slightly it is irritating as ml takes FL for granted and marrying her just because she does and takes care of ML and he never showed her that he loves her.
ACTING:
I found the ML a bit older when compared to the FL and i find characters a bit flawed.

This is a drama which is worth watching only once

Just… WEIRD

The storyline goes back and forth in timelines- one is in the past from 2012, and the present which was 2019. This element I found quite interesting, so it sort of dampens the monotony and dullness. However, the progress of the leads relationship was just too weird.

In uni, he is her senior. She has a crush on him, but finds out he already has a fiancé! He’s about to get married when his fiancé breaks things off because she fell in love with someone else. He seems quite heartbroken. This is where the weirdness begins. Very soon after that, the FL confesses to ML. Everyone in uni thinks she is the cause of his broken engagement accusing her of stealing the boyfriend. Anyhow, after confessing, the next scene we see is her telling her family about him, that they are getting married!! Like.. WHUT???!!! He walks in with gifts saying yes they are getting married.

The ex fiancé meets with FL to warn her about marrying someone who doesn’t love her, she is convinced she can “make him” love her eventually. The wedding goes ahead, and they are just like “ getting along” during marriage. He doesn’t seem interested to sleep w her, until she seduces him with sexy lingerie. Well the story goes on, she found out and thinks she’s pregnant. He turns down an opportunity to go to US. She finds out she was mistaken and not pregnant. He then SNEAKS off and flies to US without even informing her!! And stays there for 13 months! The only time hey visit is her flying there to surprise him at the 13th month, but sees him so happy, not missing nor needing her. She flies home angry and wants a divorce. She packs her things hoping he will stop her. But he’s not even bothered. Just sits staring outside the window.

This is where I decided to drop it. Can’t accept this sort of bad writing. And I read in the comments, that later on, she actually forgives him and gets back together. But realised he hasn’t changed (ahbudennn??) and break up again. GURRLLLLL- don’t you learn from your mistakes?

So yes, I dropped it. Don’t waste your time with this one.

Crushed that it wasn't better

This series had potential, but the random and constant flashbacks killed it for me. Once you feel like there is a grasp at where the series is going a random flashback happens that has nothing to do with the current state of affairs. This story was a perfect example of loving someone more than they love you and hoping for better. The ML's acting was static, and the FL acting was desperate. Then the writers chose to throw a child in the mix (SMH) It all worked out in the end. However, it didn't fit the character makeup of the ML for that to even be a realistic possibility. By the time the romantic scenes happen, it felt more like a relief than an experience.

ótimo drama com um final decepcionante

O drama teve um ótimo começo, acho que é primeiro drama chinês mais maduro que eu assisti. Assistir esse drama me fez viver uma montanha russa de emoções, o desenrolar do drama, a separação do casal e o amadurecimento que tiveram até se reencontrarem tornou a história muito boa, daquelas que iria facilmente pra lista de favoritos. Então, até o episódio 30 eu não tinha nenhuma ressalva, seria facilmente um 10/10 pra mim, e provavelmente um drama que eu assistiria novamente. Aí os 6 últimos episódios pareceram que foram feitos às pressas e por outra pessoa, as coisas não foram explicadas e por fim, teve um final muito decepcionante.
