Wang Hou Yu Sheng (2022)

Beautiful drama, touching, moving, but with a rather dark tone.

The story is great structured and consistent.

We gradually discover the story of this single mother who raises her sick son with so much difficulty.
Over the course of medical consultations, she meets again her ex-boyfriend, who has become a cardiac surgeon, dumped 7 years earlier. This complex character Dr. Nie is beautifully played by Wallace Chung.

We must also emphasize the talent of all the actors in this series. All are emotionnaly convincing ! They embody superbly, without excess or useless chatter, characters whose past, traumas and goals we discover little by little.

The actor who plays the young PingPing is also extraordinary in accuracy and sensitivity. I can only assume that if he continues down this path, he will have a great career.

The execution is excellent. Some scenes, especially the painful scenes, last a long time. We could consider that these are lengthy, but this timing is undoubtedly necessary so that the spectator understands the state of mind of the characters and their evolution. The puzzle pieces are put into place with precision and the clues guide the viewer to legitimate conclusions with context.

I have a more mixed assessment on the OSTs (sometimes jazz, but a lot of classical pieces) whose atmosphere does not always match the emotions conveyed.

In conclusion, this is not a feel-good or entertaining series.
But it is a high quality drama that will remain in your memories for a long time.

Most touching well acted Chinese drama I have ever seen

Extremely underrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This drama’s impact reminds me of what I felt reading Pride and Prejudice or the Notebook where against all odds true love reigns supreme.

Solid acting, realistic portrayal of the pain of a love that can never be, sacrifices women make for love despite the struggle and hardship. It shows also the goodness of people such as her “husband”.

The redemption arc was very well scripted. Wallace’s acting was superb you can really feel the wrenching of his heart and in Xiaoran Li’s elegantly restrained demeanour was so beautiful and was key in delivering the perfect chemistry and longing for love in this drama.

Through a Cloudy Haze of Sun Lit Sea...

I absolutely loved the the series, after Go Ahead, this is the first Chinese series, I can actually feel and it has effected my mode more than I had thought.

The direction, cinematography (I don't mind washed up screen), the pacing, and the shift between past and present is so smoothly done, that it is rare for a CN drama these days, where everything is fast paced, quick, without any logic and the random evilness, and mostly you are not given any time to empathise with characters or feel them, but surprisingly this drama offers you a plenty of time to know characters and not let you bore at the same time.

It sure has some typical Chinese elements, but thats given and I can ignore that fully, because the acting, and writing is true star here, both leads are talented and veteran of their craft. When they are on screen, the electrifying chemistry flows in air and create magic.

The story is cliche, yet done right. I was anxious, and felt on the edge of seat to see FL and ML tension, specially ML coldness towards, despite his love for her. I am sure something happened in past that made FL leave her, nor his father nor her loving pother person broke them, it was something inevitable and culmination of her poor fate. When you are born poor, life is not just life, it is a struggle, it takes your pride away, it makes you do things that can make you feel less than your other half. She has been like that her whole life. Despite being talented, smart, she lost in the love she thought could save her. ML who sincerely loved her, wanted best for her, couldn't truly understood her. She knew he would believe her if she would tell him a lie, so she made him believe that she doesn't loved him but money or whatever. ML is keeping a damn good job at keeping himself misunderstood and ignorant of anything, when secret will be revealed he will run for her, I just hope it is not too late.

FL's husband, who is also not bad, is just not smart enough, good looking enough or fit the criteria of ML, but FL is loyal as she know, although she doesn't love him, and he knows that, she is keeping this name for sake relationship alive for reason, I truly hope we get to know soon. Like what exactly their relationship is. Is it a paper marriage? or marriage to protect her child. And we all know whose child Pingping is. I don't have to spoil or say it.

Music, and the melo scenes, and flashback are equally fantastic and it is a part of story, like essential part of story. So I am very much glad that the sequence of those flashbacks are so aligned and so well fitted to current timeline, that you keep wanting more. It reminds me of "When My Love Bloom", it has 50% same story, but with different touch.

It is a must watch series as it is mature romance, it might not fit for everyone, but it is addictive as hell, for a person like me.

Because of Love sem dúvida é o drama que mais se assemelha a vida real, que eu já assisti.

Because of Love sem dúvida é o drama que mais se assemelha a vida real, que eu já assisti. Claro, há um questionamento de que uma conversa franca e sincera resolveria 80% do problemas criados, mas somos seres humanos e acabamos errando.

A história inicia contando sobre o relacionamento juvenil entre Nie Yu Sheng e Tan Jing e como a vida de cada um ficou depois de um brusco término. Nenhum dos dois conseguiu seguir em frente e estavam vivendo uma vida de m*rda. Não irei me aprofundar para não passar spoiler.

O drama no geral é muito bom, mas houve algumas cenas desnecessárias nos dez últimos capítulos, mas não é algo para desmerecer o roteiro, que precisa ser enaltecido. Que trama bem trabalhada, vários plot twists e um final bem fechado, apesar que mudaria o final de dois personagens.

As atuações estão em alto nível, não conhecia nenhum ator/atriz, mas quero parabenizar Wallace Chung, que foi do alegre ao amargurado em segundos; tem uma cena que o Dr. Nie chora e é espetacular. Há também o pequeno Mi Ke que rouba a cena várias vezes, esse menino tem futuro.

Diálogos bem construídos, principalmente os do último capítulo. Confesso não ter prestado muita atenção a trilha sonora, até porque assisti alguns capítulos em espanhol, mas há uma música muito comovente e gostosa de ouvir ( Mu Tou - Forgot to Tell Me).

Surpresas: Shu Qin, que mulher maravilhosa, não errei em nada ao confiar nela, uma personagem forte, amiga e que não fugiu dos seus princípios por ninguém. Sun Zhi Jun, apesar dos erros, também foi uma grata surpresa, quanto mais ficamos sabendo dele, mas se admira.

Desapontada: Tan Jing errou tantas vezes nesta história, há sim uma certa culpa de Dong Yuan, mas ela também foi culpada e me pareceu que no final ela não reconheceu o fato. Ela sofreu muito e foi uma guerreira, mas a forma que ela tratava Yu Sheng, por diversas vezes, me fez questionar se ela realmente merecia o amor dele. Apesar do meu 'chateamento' com Tan Jing, ninguém me decepcionou mais do que Sheng Fang Ting. Já tinha desvendado o mistério dele nos primeiros capítulos, mas acreditava que poderia ser diferente, mas ele acabou se afundando e manipulando as pessoas.

Vou parar por aqui antes que passe um spoiler, enfim recomendo o drama, mas é bom deixar claro que é uma história mais adulta, com muito, muito, muito drama e desentendimentos. Prepare um lencinho que você irá precisar.

Very interesting

The storyline is quite interesting, the logic flow is quite detailed, I rarely get it in other Chinese dramas. The selection of players is pretty good, except for FL which looks too old (but her's playing well) compared to the compatibility of ML and FL in its youth. The presence of Shu Qin makes the atmosphere more fresh and dynamic, making me more excited to continue the next episodes. What became my question at the beginning of the episode, the mystery of the breakup of FL & ML and FL's marriage and then having kid. The choice of actor for FL's husband let me down, sorry
