Corrida para o Romance (2025)

Refreshing story and talented cast

What happen if you have to live as someone else? Are you willing to make sacrifices for your love ones?
Do you have the courage to love somebody no matter what? This drama will answer all those questions for you.
Through the main character's cute interactions, they'll make you laugh and cry with them.

The break out star of this drama is Duan Jing Yi. It's her first acting project and she impressed everyone.
Her portrayals of Shen Nan & Shen Yi are so natural and honest. Deep inside the strong outer appearance is someone so selfless, delicate & innocent. Her strong chemistry with her costar Shen Hao Nan made it enjoyable to watch. I found myself smiling so much through the first part of the drama.

Shen Hao Nan, an experienced actor, appeared in countless micro dramas proved that all those years of hard work paid off and he's here to shine. His detailed acting, his expressions and his eyes conveyed deep emotions. He made us believe all the ups and downs of Gu Yi Chen. We feel for him, care about him and root for him.

For the most part, I'm very happy about this drama.
The story, the acting, lighting, framing, everything is good. I really enjoyed watching it.
The appearance of Taiwanese veteran actor Morning Chang as Gu Yi Chen's grandpa elevated the drama because it gives the audience a sense of familiarity for the older audience segment. They grew up watching him.

The con of this drama is the portrayal of Zhang Yang's revenge. It's a bit unrealistic how everything went down again and again. The story about the brother was alright but it felt disconnected. Gu Yi Chen is already successful in his career so they don't really need to make him rich too. This is a short drama so we don't need too much side stories.

It appears that many scenes got cut due to certain restriction guidelines so sometimes it feels choppy.
Also the last kiss is way off target. I was super disappointed because it shouldn't be like that especially for an ending kiss. But after watching all the BTS kisses, I realized that they filmed all the kisses properly but were all cut and left out of the official drama. I can understand the reason but I wish they included all those kisses in the drama.

This is also the first time producer Hua Ping becomes a screenwriter. I really like her script. There are many memorable, touching, funny lines/scenes throughout the drama. Here are some of my favorites. You might have to come back here after finishing the drama to know why.
