A Love So Beautiful (2017)

This drama is just so precious and pretty that I just HAD TO make an account on this website to review it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AND I'VE PROBABLY WATCHED KAZILLION DRAMAS may it be korean, chinese, taiwanese, japanese, even anime, etc. but this just really comes into my "WOULD PROBABLY REWATCH THIS A FEW MORE TIMES CAUSE IT MADE ME FEEL SO GIDDY & HAPPY." Up to you to not watch it but just know that you're missing out.

PLUS, HI? HELLO? Look at that gorgeous Hu Yi Tian in this drama. I probably would've appreciated it more if had cried. Like a tear would have sufficed. BUTTTTT, nonetheless, I would still rewatch this. Seeing him so in love with a girl in this drama made me just want to find a boyfriend stat. lol.

Female Lead, Super Dumb. They Did My Boy Busong Dirty.

Review will only discuss the first half of the show.

So, the female lead is trash, Super manipulative, and toxic towards a dude who ain’t even that interested in her. Watching her obsess over this dude is just sad. Trust, it is very annoying to see her get so petty and jealous when JC hangs out with other classmates like he can’t have other female friends. Honestly, the romance between JC and Xiao Xi is so damn forced. She always be complaining about her shit grades and she ain’t do much more than copy answers out of the back of the book or ask her best friend for help. Ain’t ever seen a more annoying female lead. Speaking of her best friend, that “romance” between her and the school doctor is garbage too. Don’t get me started on Lu Yang either. “Uuuuu my crush don’t like me imma go kill myself”. Toxic af. Everyone on this show is toxic.

Except WU BOSONG. MY BOY ain’t hurt no one he just wants love.

Anyone who leaves a > 8 rating on this show is blind to the truth.

My review

IDK how many people would read this but here i go

What i liked about the drama:
1- the acting actually good there were funny scenes in the drama that made me crack up
2- The music (OST) was decent it isn't my favourite and definitely wouldn't make it to my Spotify playlist but its good none the less

What i disliked about the drama:
1- The female lead's character. She's dumb. The whole story about unrequited love was actally okay but the female lead had no form of pride or shame with how she kept flinging herself to the male lead that at one point i felt that she was an embarrassment to the female gender.

Shes not the brightest person and im not asking for her to be, but i if she at least TRIED made ANY form of effort it probably would have been a different story.

When they finally get together *(a tiny spoiler for context) her man becomes a doctor and she gets mad that he isnt at her beck and call 24/7. Come on sis he's BUSY he has to save lives idk but here is when i started to hate her - she breaks up with him for this petty af reason but there is no form of communication in their relationship so it was doomed from the start

2- Sacrifices. Although in a relationship there should be sacrifices it should be two ways but not here. ONLY the male lead kept sacrificing for her but her ungrateful ass was just so extremely proud it was disgusting. She had no sense of pride before now she suddenly has it *insert eye roll* and me kissing my teeth

I sincerely hoped that they wouldnt get back together as the male lead could have done 1000000% better than her. He gave up his place in a prestigious university for her, helped her dumb ass publish a book even though she wasnt talented enough just for her never to say a common "thank you" but instead stay salty

To conclude i could never watch this drama again as i would probably lose hair from the stress i get watching the female lead - BUT you do you sis!

This is such a cute drama portray a sweet and tender love at the age of 17 ~ It have cheesy scenes with minimal awkwardness ! which is good xD
it reminded me a lot of Itazura Na Kiss , but rather a better storyline ( Xiao Xi is not as stupid as Kotoko and Jiang Chen is not as arrogant as Naoki ) .

With all the serious drama that's going out now , this is the escape with an adorable & cute light drama .
We've all seen this kind of setup before but that doesn't stop us from watching the drama anyway xD

This drama makes me very happy , i like that even though Jiang Chen was smart he wasn't arrogant as hell , he was sweet but still definitely have his cold and stoic character at times & Xiao Xi was very bubbly even though she likes to follow Jiang Chen but i like that she have her own character & her own dream to follow as she has a talent in art .
I liked how they brought some of the issues that almost every student went through .
I got lost sometimes as how much time has passed between the sequence of events but it didn't bother me , but the time when they are in college I wished they have focused more at that period & show more about their relationship development , I felt the drama sped the events & I wanted more episodes T_T I miss the cutie couple ..

And I have to say Hu Yi Tian is gorgeous <3 His height differences with Shen Ye made a lot of scenes so much better !!!

The squad too is really cute and portrays friendship that is fresh and natural , I find the acting in this drama much better than a few C-dramas i've watched so far .

I also liked the short scene after each episode ending , it was so funny !  

It is really good drama with nice storyline & I'll rewatch this anytime , I think everyone will enjoy it ~

Childish ...

So the only reason I started this series was because of the ML!!

I am really not a fan of the FL and after watching this I see why, she was the most annoying and childish throughout this whole series, and so annoying, how they got her to play this part is beyond my understanding. The rest of the characters were absolutely fun to watch especially the second FL, I feel if she had played this role and made it a bit more serious it would have a fantastic series to watch.

The childish of this series is really unbelievable, honestly I don't think it deserves the rating I gave it. I get that it was a high school drama, but that was more like kindergarten material. The ML was very mature and serious were as the others had that playfulness which set them apart the FL OMG was just so wrong and so daft that she actually spoils the drama, I mean after graduation she still had no clue what to do and was even more childish.

The female lead, super manipulative, and toxic towards a dude who ain’t even that interested in her. Watching her obsess over this dude is just sad.

Definitely Not worth watching again, no matter how much I like the ML, just the thought of the FL is very sickening to watch.

Boring with unlikeable characters

Don’t get the rave reviews. The plot moves slowly and for most of the show, it is focused on the high school years. Both leads are totally unlikeable. The male lead is a total jackass to the female lead in the name of being “cool”. The female lead is dumb and incompetent to the extent of being annoying, rather than being “cute”. In real life, you should avoid this kind of people at all costs. High maintenance. The whole show portrays the shallow kind of attraction. Most days, I had the show on while reading a book and didn’t miss much at all. Total garbage.

Unpopular opinion

What is all the hype about? The main female was airhead and a stalker. I don't find anything cute or charming about someone stalking someone else. I felt so sorry for her, because she comes off as not being very bright (combination of poor grades and not getting a clue that the guy has no interest in her), and the stalking aspect made me feel like she must have had no pride or self esteem. The main male was cold. I did like the friendships represented during their high school years. However, once they graduated, the script took a turn for the worse. It was just boring.

A Love So Beautiful is one of the best Chinese dramas I've watched. It has the right amount of everything. The story is simple yet intriguing. The characters are well fitted, even the supporting actors. The chemistry between the lead pair is Amazing ! I'm not much of a person who reviews dramas,but this one is so great that it makes me want to. I don't usually watch a drama more than once but this is definitely an exception and I can't believe that I actually watched it thrice. If you're looking for something new and coming of age, then this is definitely a must watch.

Why is this so popular?

I just finished watching With You (1996) and reading the reviews I see a lot of people wrote about how Love So Beautiful reminds them of that. It got me intrigued and got me watching.

The FL was totally obsessed with ML and chased after him even though he ignored her most of the time (and the rest of the time was just being rude to her). ML talked to her as if she's rubbish, told her to do things and kissed her several times without consent. Why do people think this is cute 🧐???!!!

I skipped a lot in the middle but I did enjoyed the last 3 or 4 episodes where they all grew up and she had a bit more self respect.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend. I don't know why is this drama so popular??! Very disappointed to myself for wasting several hours watching this.

This drama owned me. It was a situation that my neighborhood would witness. A sweet, naive girl in pursuit of her crush. Shen Yue was just perfect. From the neat bob to her silly walking, everything was just perfect. Hu Yi Tian made a perfect pair with her. Actually, a very unique pair. Anybody could see the height difference between them. However, you could observe that the writer created many fun and sweet moments out of this difference. This is what happens in reality. There is no perfect pair. Couples become perfect in the way they balance each other. There was no over the top situations or miracles happening. The story progressed in accordance to how a real story would progress.

While coming to the storyline, it was a simple high school romance which was very easy to understand. We could see some of the best examples of friendships. I believe Gao Zhi Ting also played a very remarkable character. He showed us the real example of love. He was always there for Xiao Xi and even let her go smoothly when the time came. We could also applaud him for being the matchmaker for the leads as he made Xiao Xi hear Jiang Chen's confession.

I will give it a high high high rewatch value. Do indulge in it if you want to recall your school romance.
