Love The Way You Are (2019)

This drama is written very well, as the main message in the story is about believing one's self and never giving up. Eva's "disease" is the main thing the holds her back from becoming who she really is. She was traumatized in her past, due to the fact that she was fat and humiliated. But after all her experiences throughout the drama with Ruan Dongsheng, she finally discovers that being fat is not the problem, and she could still achieve her dreams. The final episode definitely shows that she does not care whether she is skinny or fat, as she was willing to become fat, in order to donate blood because she was underweight, to save Dongsheng's mother. Dongsheng also eventually forgives his mother and reconciles with her, due to misunderstandings in the past.

The most shocking and best parts of the drama for me are Luo Yiren's parts. She stands out the most in the drama due to her visuals and especially her acting. She is so rigid and tough in the beginning since all she cares about is her job. She has not lived her life fully until she mistakenly discovers she has leukemia. Then she quits her jobs and lives the life she wants. She shows up with purple hair (just a wig) and does all the wild things, and makes Xiao Nan do some romantic "things" with her. This was honestly the most hilarious part of the drama. I loved the way she changes through the drama, from stiff/rigid to a regular person who actually lives her life to the fullest extent. The most important part is she stays strong and independent afterward too. I am hyped to watch more of her dramas.

One thing that threw me off was why Eva was afraid that she might turn big after accepting that being big is a part of her. Other than that, this drama ended pretty well and delivered a pretty good message of accepting who you are.
