I came to love Zhang Binbin through Song of the Moon which this was the drama I just finished watching and I love his acting in that drama (Song of the Moon), so I thought I might give this drama "A romance of the little forest" a go because Zhang Binbin is in this one too.

To be honest, I really tried to give this drama a chance. I stopped and get back into it and stopped again and got back into it, but it just didn't have that same magnetic pull that I felt when I watched Song of the Moon.

I mean I am into romance genres and an online friend recommended this drama to me saying it is similar to You are my Glory, while I do see the similarities but I cannot stand the Female Lead in this drama...

The Female lead Yu Mei Ren (played by Esther) is too much an off-putting for me.... She is so superficial and exaggerates that made me facepalm when she's on the screen... Like I really just want her to be herself and let him see the real her. The real and honest her...

The way how she acts "cute" in front of him is not cute to me but instead, that just makes it off putting...

Honestly, while a pairing chemistry is subjective from people to people on how they feel about the pairing, but for me, from the episodes I've seen I don't see the chemistry between them. It just felt awkward to me and I didn't like that she lied to her parents and said that Zhuang Yu(played by Zhang Binbin) is her boyfriend when they are not... and their parents is too annoying too with how they tried to pry into someone privacy even when it was just a guess that the mother thought Zhaung Yu is their daughter "boyfriend" when he is not yet....

Anyways I don't think I will continue it..I want to write a review about my honest opinions. Such a shame because I thought I might like this one also.... I keep putting it on hold so I know this drama isn't the one for me... Oh well..... Time to watch some other dramas that is worth my time.

Once again I love Zhang Binbin but Esther role in her character is really off putting for me so can't stick to it... It is to the point that made me cringe at her character (omg)
