Good actors – great chemistry between FL & ML
This is a very good “friends to lovers” romcom.
I was impressed of how well FL & ML acted and the chemistry between them. Also, the second leads were very good. FL is a “towering” presence between Chinese top actresses (factual, she is 1.72 m tall, and most of other actresses are around 1.60 and 1.65 m). Joke aside, Wang Yu Wen(FL) is beautiful, elegant, excellent acting and good comedic sense. She has an advantage in the romcom genre (so she should try to have at least one successful romcom per year to keep her popularity up), but she has to be more selective on the kind of dramas in which she acts. In YAMLF, she has great chemistry with the ML, which also acts very well, so there are expectations to see them in another romcom. The second leads had a nice and low-key love story, also with nice chemistry. They are so good that you want to see more of them (or maybe to move as main leads in another drama). The SML (played by Wu Jun Ting) is a really good and promising young actor, I fully expect to see him as ML in a lot of dramas.
I looked at comments from other viewers and almost 90% of comments noticed the good acting and chemistry of main leads, and maybe 50% liked and wanted to see more of the second leads.
I checked the original novel. The screenwriters significantly changed and improved the story, so good for them. On the other hand, they repeated some tricks too many times, it was really boring. The interrupted kiss (10 times??), Feng Wei Ran aggressive negation of any romantic connections between main leads, and extensive and exhausting use of “brother Yang”. Maybe here the director has a more significant responsibility, he is supposed to edit and control the drama. Finally, the English name of the drama is rather unfortunate.
Somebody mentioned that YAMLF was unlucky to be scheduled in the same time with the Korean drama Love Next Door (it has a similar “friends to lovers” topic). I think Love Next Door is really unlucky. After a couple of episodes, I renounced to follow the Korean drama, while I saw YAMLF twice.
To conclude, this is a slow moving romcom, where main leads transition (slowly) from friends to lovers. Main leads, very good acting and chemistry, second leads, low-key and attractive, in general good acting for secondary actors as well. Nice and fun to watch, check the first 5-6 episodes to see if it is too slow for you.
