The Oath of Love (2022)

This kind of drama is literally not my cuppa tea, though I gave it a try to watch it because of Xiao Zhan, and glad those early episodes gave me another reason to keep watching it. The romance plot is just the same as the other romance cdrama that I've watched, but the story between Mr. Lin's family is such a heart-warming story, it succeeded in making me drop my tears. I was always looking forward and also getting excited about their family scenes. Moreover, I waited for more development of some side characters like Gu Xiao or Xiao San. Their story should be interesting, yet it seems like the production team didn't bring it all out.

I waited two years for this but it was boring to me

I love Xiao Zhan's handsomeness ,, love his voice and love his acting that won't change no matter how much worse his fans treated me
that said and also like the female lead as an actress watched her psychiatrist drama she was amazing ,, really strong independent woman there
Here in this drama ,,it was fun watch at first few episodes then it became predictable and draggy as most fluffy romantic drama
I don't like fluffy romance ,, Don't like female lead acting like an idiot in front of the male lead
don't like the feeling of the male lead acting like he's superior to her with his education and intelligence
so my problem is with how the character were written not with the actor or the actress or how they act
I like them as actors but I don't like the plot
I think there isn't any thing wrong about that
It's not for me and I dropped it
I wrote this review for closure after the horrible things said to me in the comment section
I won't come back here again but that promise won't be for any upcoming drama of xiao zhan's

Coming from someone who isn't a fan of either leads

Unlike most of the viewers who were tuning in, I started watching this drama because I was looking for something new to watch & not because I was fan anticipating the drama. I had watched the main actress before in other works but it's not as if I kept up with her projects &I had never watched the main actor before. So, I had no bias going in watching the drama.

This was a simple story yet the acting & chemistry of the leads made it easy to want to keep watching. Their moments together did feel like watching an actual couple, especially the small theatres at the end of the episodes. They were natural together. They did have moments when they caused me to be frustrated, especially the FL, but I was able to understand where she was coming from. (Those moments of frustration did make their age gap in the drama apparent though.) As for the main actor, I was impressed with him as he really made me feel for Gu Wei. (I would say his character is a huge part of the reason why I enjoyed this drama like I did).

While the acting of the leads was great, the rest of the cast was okay so that's why I could only give the acting an 8.5. I only remember the theme song, which is why I gave the music a 5. & I rarely rewatch dramas, unless I really love them but even then I try to watch new shows instead, so that's why I gave the rewatch a 5. However, I was glad that I watched this and would recommend it to others.

Things I didn't like about this drama, which are the reasons why I gave this drama the rating I did:

*I know FL was inexperienced and young but it was annoying how she always listened to her friends for advice, especially when it failed before, rather than talk to ML, who for the most part was open towards her.
*FL's friends were unlikable. San San gave the worst advice causing more damage than good. I still don't understand what her love interest saw in her (nor why his or her character were needed). As for Yin Xi, she had toxic views about her relationship, mainly not accepting her faults & blaming it all on her boyfriend.
*When ML encountered his big problem, he closed himself off from FL trying to solve it on his own & then waltzed back to her as if nothing happened.
*Though I agreed with it, I'm not a fan of breakups that are basically resolved by the next episode.
*Both love rivals used their status as friends of the leads to try & manipulate themselves into the lives of the leads & I wasn't here for it at all.

Heartwarming romance

In this drama Yang Zi plays a similar much younger character as her role in Go Go Squid - her role here as Lin Zhixiao is one of a bubbly, optimistic and dynamic personality. This is in contrast to the serious and staid Dr Gu Wei. Slowly she draws him out of his shell and he becomes more relaxed and lightens up. Their relationship goes through the tribulations of a romance but their love remains steadfast. This is a very watchable drama as we get drawn into the lives of Gu Wei and Lin Zhixiao. There is the added dimension of Lin Zhixiao's relationship to her father and the last few episodes are very poignant. Yang Zi is fantastic in her role; Xiao Zhan although appearing a bit stiff nevertheless portrayed the serious and conscientious doctor Gu Wei well. It is indeed a heartwarming show and one that I will rewatch. The sound tracks sung by both leads grow on you and the songs convey the heartwarming emotions of the show - I listen to them over and over again.

Quite lovely although not very original

A story of falling in love, and I would say: Staying in love (her parents).
It is a rather un-complicated storyline, a bit predictive, but at the same time quite lovely.

They could probably have made it an episode shorter if reduced all the flashbacks throughout, and some lengthy scenes.

Acting was OK; I do feel FL and ML could've had a bit better chemistry throughout; it was just a few moments that felt more convincing, the rest was OK, but not "sparks flying" good.

I got very emotional watching the last episodes - without giving too much of a spoiler I will only say it reminded me of my own past.

Not a masterpiece but a good watch

Communication is the lifeline of any relationship...
The main couple had great chemistry mostly due to ML I think, at first I didn't see that age gap they were talking about cause she was not that young and he was not that old in real life.
I loved them but him not willing to talk to her about his problems and not realising at first, and his behaviour in front of her parents almost ruined it for me, I'm happy she forgave him but didn't matter another episode so that he truly apologises.
The FL and her father cared about each other and it was touching though sad that family members do always this, we don't say that we love each other unless it's late ..
The second best friend should have thought more about how she was with her boyfriend, he should have talked to her before, and she should have understood even after...
We, as people, should talk explain to each other what is going wrong, cause unless we'll just end up messing our lives and missing good memories we would have had with them ..

História envolvente.

No início do c-drama e o foco no drama familiar da Lin Zhi Xiao, faz com que nos envolvemos na tumultuada relação de pai e filha. Confesso que fiquei até com ranço dele pela postura controladora com a Xiao, mas o desenvolvimento desse núcleo é bem bonito de se acompanhar. O companheirismo, cuidado, afeto são mostrados no decorrer dos episódios e nos três ou quatro últimos se intensifica a ponta de dar nó na garganta e me fez chorar.
Me incomoda profundamente nunca citar a idade dos dois personagens quando há uma diferença grande, apenas lá no episódio 26 que finalmente ela cita sua idade pelo aniversário estar próximo, ai sim conseguimos fazer o paralelo entre a imaturidade dela e a racionalidade excessiva dele.
No decorrer dos episódios, já fui escrevendo minhas opiniões no bloco de notas, e citei que o drama profissional do Gu Wei havia sido solucionado rápido demais, mas no decorrer do dorama é mostrado o quanto o afeta quando algo sai de seu controle, então me fez perceber que, apesar do trauma do professor, há uma camada mais densa desse problema.
O casal secundário é muito bom e a química que os atores possuem faz com que seja divertido acompanhar o desenvolvimento do romance deles. Mas ele simplesmente ir embora e deixar tudo para trás me deixou muito irritada, porque ao voltar, não ficou claro o quão arrependido ele estava e o que fez desde que se foi. Poderiam ter abordado melhor, mas sim, eu sei, não são os protagonistas…

O que me espanta e incomoda muito nas retratações das famílias (seja em dorama Chinês ou Coreano) é o quão tóxicas elas podem ser, seja quando o assunto é poder, controle parental ou sentimento de posse que as pessoas tem umas com as outras.

This is real love

I can't tell in words how much i loved this, this is my first drama where i didn't skip any scene. This drama will hit you right on the spot. This is an emotional, romantic and in the end yes its very very emotional drama. I fell in love with Xiao Zhan after watching this masterpiece. He is so calm and very sensible guy in this drama. He indeed made this drama worth it by his acting. The chemistry between the ML and FL is very natural and great, the age gap was perfecly shown. Even a daughter father relationship is highlighted in the end that is so emotional. I literally cried after seeing the father and son in law emotional connection. I wish this kinda son in law every daughter's father deserve... 🥹 thanks for making this masterpiece i loved it.. this review is straight from my heart. And the title is perfectly conveyed 👌. Xiao Zhan love you🤌🏻🤌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
