A Romance of the Little Forest (2022)

The script is weak, there are few interesting topics addressed, the romance is lukewarm and the characters took a long time to become interesting.
The direction led the drama slowly and, at the end, a 100m dash. At the beginning of the drama the comic scenes are very forced and therefore it is difficult to laugh. Very few exciting scenes. The editing isn't pristine and the use of flashback scenes is rather tiresome.
The cast is good, but few fit into their characters (too annoying characters), so the scenes are not always convincing.
The soundtrack is good, but it wasn't always used properly to maximize the emotion of the scene.

This had the potential to be one of my favorite drama of all time.

Lets get the complaints out of the way since I’m sure everyone has already said the same thing. THE SECOND LEADS ARE ANNOYING. I love their characters overall of course but not once did i care or look forward to seeing their romance. hell, i was looking forward to seeing Gou Fei on screen than seeing them. That’s how much I hated watching them. The entire thing with him faking needing a wheelchair so he hires her to take care of him so he can be close to her is some messed up power dynamics bs then him revealing that he actually is a leg amputee is just ugh. at that point i DID NOT care. please just get them out of my screen. It’s also the way that they take up HALF of each episodes aside from the last few. WHY ARE THEY TAKING TIME FROM THE MAIN LEADS??? There are literally so many important scenes like the drunk kiss scene that gets cut out to give time to the second leads which. why. why did you do that. the guy is so unremarkable i don’t even remember his character name dhmu.

Other than that this would have been a 10/10, the soundtrack was gorgeous, the main leads chemistry was off the charts, Yu Meiran’s backstory was amazing. The way she pursued Zhuang Yu in the beginning and the way he had to pursue her back after leaving her was so interesting to watch, I also loved the way she bonded with his brother and them being honest with each other about everything at the end, I find myself rewatching many scenes of this drama often. Esther Yu was once again perfect for her role and her chemistry with Binbin was also very cute to watch, I would definitely like a season two or watch them act together again. but really please i want a season two i just want to watch Dr.Yu and Professor Zhuang’s antics and academics rivalry forever they make me so happy.

Drama yg lucu bikin baper

A Romance of the Little Forest salah satu drama China terbaru yang dibintangi Esther Yu atau Yu Shu Yin dan Zhang Bin Bin atau Vin Zhang. Drama bergenre romantis komedi ini tayang sejak 15 September lalu.

Seperti judulnya, drama tersebut mengusung kisah dan karakter yang berbeda dari drama modern pada umumnya. Yu Mei Ren (Esther Yu) merupakan lulusan Jurusan Ornitologi, ilmu cabang Zoologi yang khusus memperlajari burung. Sedangkan Zhuang Yu (Zhang Bin Bin) lulus dan menjadi profesor di bidang Botani.

Keduanya sempat bertemu saat masih kuliah dan membuat Yu Mei Ren jatuh hati. Sayangnya, kisah cintanya berliku dan tak semudah yang kamu bayangkan.

Kisah romantisnya bikin penasaran, berikut sejumlah alasan yang bisa bikin mau semakin tertarik untuk nonton CDrama A Romance of the Little Forest. 

1. Berkisah tentang kegigihan meraih cinta dan cita-cita

Seperti yang dijelaskan sebelumnya, Yu Mei Ren memiliki rasa cinta yang lebih dari sekadar teman terhadap Zhuang Yu. Semasa kuliah, Yu Mei Ren merasa bahwa cintanya bertepuk sebelah tangan. Yap, Zhuang Yu tidak menanggapi perasaannya karena memang fokus terhadap studi yang tengah dijalani.

Sekian waktu berlalu, keduanya sempat berpisah setelah lulus. Namun, dipertemukan kembali saat Yu Mei Ren melakukan syuting iklan produk kecantikan di universitasnya dulu. Di sanalah ia bertemu kembali dengan Zhuang Yu yang sudah menjadi profesor di bidang Botani.

Meski sempat mengelak bahwa tidak lagi jatuh cinta dengan Zhuang Yu, nyatanya Yu Mei Ren justru gigih memperjuangkan cintanya. Ia membantu penelitian Zhuang Yu dan gencar mendekatinya. Sedangkan Yu Mei Ren tetap mempertahankan profesinya sebagai fashion blogger.

Di balik kisah cinta tersebut, Keduanya saling mendukung profesi satu sama lain. Tujuan mereka serupa, membangun negara dan kampung halaman.

2. Chemistry Esther Yu dan Vin Zhang bisa bikin penonton baper


Zhuang Yu dikenal sebagai sosok yang serius dan fokus pada penelitiannya supaya dapat berkontribusi terhadap kemajuan China, terutama di bidang Botani. Berkat keseriusannya, seolah ia mengabaikan percintaan dan deretan perempuan yang tertarik padanya.

Sikapnya yang dingin dan serius bertolak belakang dengan Yu Mei Ren yang ceria. Sosok Yu Mei Ren seolah memberikan warna baru meski kadang cukup menyebalkan bagi Zhuang Yu. Kehadiran Yu Mei Ren gak hanya membantu untuk penelitian, tetapi juga hangatnya cinta.

Karakter yang bertolak belakang justru membuat keduanya semakin dekat. Yu Mei Ren selalu ekspresif dan menunjukkan sisi imut serta manjanya. Sedangkan Zhuang Yu, sebenarnya perhatian dan peduli, tapi tidak terang-terangan.

Vin Zhang dan Esther Yu mampu memerankan karakter dalam drama dengan baik. Sejumlah cuplikan di belakang layar juga menunjukkan kedekatan mereka. Gak heran kalau chemistry-nya dapat banget saat di drama

Vin Zhang (Zhuang Yu) This actor, I will be honest, had bad feelings for him because of "Eternal Love". I could not watch any drama he did after that, how silly of me. That meant he played with extreme raw talent and he was believable in playing the character. it took me two years to watch anything he made. I had to grow to love this actor. I decided to watch and am backtracking to watch other dramas that I miss because he is now one of my top Korean Actors. I love this side of VZ in this drama. The botany scientist was very convincing. It shows his intelligence and that he can play different characters.

Yu Shu Xin(Yu Mei Ren), is an actress I just started watching and may have watched her in other dramas but Love between Fairy and The Devil is where I noticed her talented acting. The only thing about this drama is why I dropped a point off the storyline because the producers or screenwriters had her acting like a child continuously and I know from watching Love between Fairy and the Devil, I believe that is not her. I don't know why they made her look like her character was a spoiled child. I still gave it a 10 because I know that both main leads have great talent. Wow both are beautiful looking! Thanking all the other actors/actresses on the set and the team. I felt like Episode 35 was not the end. I wanted to see more. I am going to rewatch this again, one day.

Beautiful people with a lot of chemistry falling in love...

- The main couple have great chemistry, I loved every moment of them. The show had a lot of problems regarding narrative and pace which I'll talk about later. But the leads are the best part in the show which wasn't a total waste of time just because of them. I loved the way they looked at each other. Esther Yu is so beautiful and cute, she's perfect for the role. While Vin Zhang was also great as the stern professor.

- Second couple started out really annoying. Mostly because of the guy, he just forces situations with her and it's just wrong sometimes. However, from ep 15-ish they became watchable. In the end I began liking them a lot. I just have one thing to say: I felt that they should've told us what was that problem jin xi had in the past that he had been in a wheelchair. I thought they were gonna show us in the end, before he and tiantian reconciled but then it comes the revelation that he had lost his leg and apparently it wasn't related to anything he already had. So I just think this became a loose information in the show, one that could aggregate to the character if used, but was completely forgotten by the writers. And this fact takes me to the main problem with this series, which is its writing.- Right in the beginning things are running smoothly. She had a crush on him in the past and he was an asshole to her (at least that's what she thought) bc she wasn't smart enough. And now she is this stunning beauty influencer who's also a PhD and who wants revenge on him. That was okay. And I was looking forward to how she was gonna do that; how he would react when he find out that he's in love with a girl that's beautiful but not that brilliant until he'd find out that she actually is brilliant. Anyways, it had potential from the beginning. However, it became a little confusing whether the fact that she's a doctorate was really a secret bc at some point it wasn't clear if she was actually hiding this fact from him since when she started ministering classes at uni he acted kinda normal to this and she wasn't hiding from him at uni. So the main plot which is her revenge was completely forgotten by the writers.

- Another thing I found annoying was how the main couple took too long to get together. Although it didn't bother me that much since I was able to enjoy them throughout the series, I couldn't understand why the writers chose this way. They could've become a couple way earlier. There was some point, after he came back from his trip, which she wasn't mad at him anymore like she was in the beginning, but they weren't together either. He was putting so much effort for her to forgive him that I thought this was like a love confession from him to her, and they would finally begin dating after that. At least that's what I thought, but it didn't happen. They were okay, as if they were together, but it wasn't clear. And if you haven't watched the series yet, this is around 30th episode, which means that they got together only in the last episodes. And that becomes a bigger problem since the second couple starts dating way earlier in the series. When the leads finally begin dating the SLs have already dated, broken up, and reconciled. The second couple have a lot more interactions and kiss scenes than the leads. I didn't hate the second leads as many people did, I enjoyed their moments on screen. But the leads had much more chemistry and I wanted to see THEM together. If the writers focused more on the leads or just balanced each couple maybe the story would've been better.

Well, that's it. It's clear this drama had a serious problem regarding its narrative. It was slow at times, the second couple had too much screen-time, and from middle to end it's like the basic plot has been forgot. Although I said a lot of negative things about this drama, I actually liked it. Like I said, the leads have an overflowing chemistry. It wasn't hard for me to keep up with the show cuz they are amazing together on scene. My 8.5 rating is only because of that cause really this show is a 5. I'd reccomend this drama only if you just want to see beautiful people with a lot of chemistry falling in love. Don't expect anything from the story.

anything for my love esther

If it wasn’t for the second lead story, this would be a 5/5 stars. They just took up too much space to be honest, and it was very annoying. The main couple were chef’s kiss though! I loved them: they were fun, cute and entertaining to watch and especially in the last episode… sigh… I nearly shed a tear, too cute (yes, despite Esther Yu’s baby voice, you get used to it… why her character had to act like a child sometimes… that’s something else). Anyway, now I lowkey want a botany professor who likes no one but me. Meh. *cries* (edit a couple of days later: the opening title is such a bop, I can’t stop listening to it, it makes me so fucking happy<3)

Comedia recomendable, la pareja protagonista de lujo

Me ha encantado esta comedia y recomiendo verla, no te vas a arrepentir, aunque con algunas objeciones y consejos.
Vin Zhang y Tu Shuxin están para comérselos. Llenos de ternura, energía, química y amor. Él me parece tan carismático que solo verle y ver su sonrisa y expresiones me enamora. Y oír la risa de Ella da un chute de energía. Música pegadiza, paisajes y fotografía de ensueño. Hasta la ropa de ellos es maravillosa.
Ahora empieza la crítica. Demasiados episodios, por lo tanto hay un relleno y alargamiento de la trama innecesario. Hay muchas escenas cortadas y editadas, de tal manera que hay reacciones que no se entienden bien porque faltan minutos, acciones y besos, que te sacan del contexto y aunque esté bien montado se nota que falta algo esencial. Y cómo han rellenado todo ese tiempo "robado" a ML/FL pues regalando minutos y minutos a la segunda pareja, que sinceramente, no interesan en absoluto. Ni química, ni física, ni chicha ni limoná. Como resultado he visto la serie con el mando en la mano avanzando cada vez que salían ellos como pareja. Cuando salen a nivel individual estaban bien, porque daban muy buenos consejos y apoyo a FL.
Como resumen diré que podía haber sido una serie redonda pero los guionistas o quien decide estas cosas la ha dejado con aristas sin sentido.
