Soft Memory (2019)

This had bad writing from beginning to end. The story would change directions without much purpose throughout the drama. Even from the start, it's unclear who the main character even is. Chu Lu's story was the most interesting. However, at the halfway point things take a sudden turn and Chu Lu's character changes for the worse. Things don't start picking up again until toward the end. The music was pretty decent since this is a music related drama. I really liked the friendship aspect of this series and how the gang chased after their dreams of becoming musicians together. The first half is light and fun, the second half gets much more serious and boring. The plot is somewhat of a mess. It felt like the writers could've wrapped up the series a bit better by closing the loop on some of the supporting characters and their stories. Overall, it's an okay drama to watch if you're absolutely bored. Luckily, it's not a drama that's easily predictable. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone or rewatch it though.

To be honest, the only interesting part here was until the mid part of EP1.

The plot and characters were written very inconsistent. I find it super confusing, definitely boring and not worth your time.

My tip, just scan every episodes until the end, which I aslo did because I thought this drama was focused on Xiaorou and Yusheng love story. BUT A BIG NO!

It happened that the main story of this drama revolves to Chu Lu only, which made her like the literally the main role as she owns this drama.

To Xiaorou and Yusheng love story became just like just like literally a side story! Which made me super hate this show!

It would be fine if you made Chu Lu as the main role from the start and not give us any hope that this drama will revolve to Xiaorou and Yusheng.

Or this drama will be so much better if you just write this drama all about and focus only to Xiaorou and Yusheng love story.

The drama shows that the author is also confused which one s/he will focus in this show—undecided which one will be a couple of this show! Because it happened that Yusheng and Chu Lu became also a couple for short time in this drama!

Expect no kissing scenes! Hugs and holding hands of Xiaorou and Yusheng are on the last episode only!

You know things are bad when by the 4th episode out of 20 episodes, you're still confused about what the plot is supposed to be about. (I wasn't the only one who was confused. As I scrolled through the YouTube comments section, many people were confused as well.) To clear my confusion, I decided to head over to MyDramaList and look over the plot summary.

But guess what? I was even more confused.

When I watched the show, it seemed to start out as a typical story. An innocent school girl falls in love with a handsome boy she sees at the bus stop every day. He ends up transferring to her school and becoming her classmate. Things seemed to pick up really quickly for just the first episode alone and I was waiting to see how much more their relationship was going to progress. But by the end of the first episode, another love interest/rival enters and the said innocent school girl has fallen for that person instead??? Like girl, weren't you head-over-heels in love with that bus stop guy you nicknamed "Pleasant Goat" (Xi Yang Yang)???

To me, it seemed like multiple writers couldn't decide on which "popular" trope they wanted to go with so they decided to put all the things they wanted together and created this confusing mess of a drama. They just dumped this backstory on a few of the characters that didn't play out in a way that made sense. For example, the second love interest, Chu Lu, is supposed to be some star. But after the first episode where there was this glamorous "Oh My God, it's THAT star" scene, it's like Chu Lu is just a normal person. Like ???

TL;DR: Am I going to continue watching? Probably not, since it feels like a waste of time.

Should you watch it? If you're that bored, then sure. But there are better things for you to watch.
