You Are My Desire (2023)

The dimple couple

I first found this drama on TikTok and let's say this drama ATE, like it's a high school drama with a girl sitting next to the school bully. Most people would say this flopped but instead this drama ATE and left no crumbs. I honestly was surprised to see Zhou Yi Ran because When I fly towards you was an absolute flop this one was sooooo good I've been rewatching it so many times and their dimples are like so cute. Zhou Yi Ran is so comfortable with Sabrina Zhuang. Plus if you like K-pop idols Sabrina Zhuang in this drama reminded me of Jisoo from blackpink and Winter from aespa. Both of their visuals are on top and when I saw Sabrina playing the electric guitar in this drama I was like damn this girl hella talented. Honestly I totally recommend this drama and couple they're so cute with their dimples. I absolutely love this and the behind the scenes are sooo cute. Zhou Yi Ran said Sabrina was a pretty girl and she is indeed, There chemistry is sooooo good. I definitely recommend.

I wrote a review on this before but I am not sure why mdl keeps deciding to delete my review. We are allowed to write our reviews and this doesn't go against their guidelines. People left similar reviews on longing for you(rightfully so). What was the reason why they decided to add locs??? This show would have been good overall if they hadn't added locs which is a hairstyle that is most definitely not part of their culture. Why is it so hard for people to do their research nowadays? All it takes is a quick Google search to see if it would be offensive or not. If you wanted to put locs, you could have the right person play the character. I am not overreacting and it is a valid issue before anyone comes after me. It's 2023, you would think they would know better but no the same mistakes are being made over and over again and we are supposed to just gloss over it. We need to start holding people accountable for their actions. Not taking the time to do their research and make educated decisions is unacceptable.

Such a disappointment. If you came because of the novel or manhua, don't waste your time...

I was looking foward to this adaptation because I am currently reading its manhua version. I like the characters and, specially, the art! So I was really excited to watch this.

But... Unfortunately, I was let down big time.

I didn't think that the actress playing our FL managed to portray the character's vibe, aura and beauty. Lin Yu Jing is supposed to be the type of girl that is just so pretty that it's impossible to pass by unnoticed. But Sabrina Zhuang just played her as a moody teenager. I didn't really feel the etheral beauty queen vibe from her at all.

Moving on from our FL, we get Shen Juan, who was supposed to be a tattoo artist... And the drama transformed him into a silver artisan or something? And then those fighting scenes out of nowhere really made this more childish than it was supposed to be. I am way too old to be watching a supposed teenager single handely fight off an entire gang and still win, unscarred. Sure, there's similar scenes in the manhua (and novel probably), but Zhou Yi Ran's body type and stature aren't convincing at all. What's more, those fights start with no reason what so ever. On the first episode alone there's like two scenes. What's the point? Oh, sure, it's just to show how our ML is simply Chuck Norris's son himself. Seriously...

I didn't even manage to finish the first episode, I was afraid the amount of times I was rolling my eyes was unhealthy.
