Exclusive Fairytale (2023)

Léger et divertissant sur sa durée

Si vous êtes adeptes de ce genre de dramas, alors vous savez qu'il ne faut pas en attendre trop. Ils sont légers et divertissants, c'est tout ce qu'on demande et généralement ils y parviennent plutôt bien. Si ma note semble faible, elle est pourtant honnête.

Le scénario n'a rien d'original. Il suffit d'avoir vu quelques semaines auparavant When I Fly Towards You (avec Zhang Miao Yi, d'ailleurs). Les situations proviennent toutes d'une liste de clichés recyclés (rien de mal à ça). L'enchaînement des scènes reste classique, tandis que l'histoire se développe avec un rythme populaire, mais efficace. La musique n'est pas particulièrement marquante.

Côté acteurs/actrices, je pensais honnêtement que Jun (Seventeen) volerait la vedette grâce à sa prestance en tant qu'idole, mais pas du tout. Il sait se faire remarquer tout en restant discret. Il faut avouer que Jun possède une très belle apparence et campe sur des acquis avec sa carrière qui lui permet d'avoir une assurance et un charisme marqué.
Zhang Miao Yi incarne un personnage similaire à When I Fly Towards You, bien que je l'ai trouvé moins convaincante (cela dit, le doublage (mentionné ci-dessous) en est peut-être une cause). Même le personnage de Jun n'est pas épargné sur ce point. Quant aux personnages secondaires, ils sont sympathiques, mais peu exploités.
La romance est légère et mignonne. Elle s'installe un peu tard (comme toujours avec ce type de drama), mais reste agréable à regarder, tandis que les personnages évoluent tranquillement (bien que sans surprises sur les événements).

Le doublage était infâme, clairement l'un des plus mauvais. Cela impacte le drame qui souffre d'une mauvaise synchronisation et de dialogues monotones. C'est plat et sans vie, heureusement que les images sont là.

Bref, Exclusive Fairytale possède des défauts et n'a rien d'original, cependant, il reste léger et agréable sur sa durée et offre un bon divertissement.

I love it. This is the kind of drama that I usually enjoy while having my meals, no heavy problems, just teenagers and their youth.

I have read 50% of the novel and I can say that the production of this drama did a great job to make the story alive! There are some minor changes, but that did not affect the storyline. There are some scenes that I thought maybe can be done better because some of them were just kind of out of detail. I wish that they put more focus on the characters' personalities since I know the story can be developed more from that, but that's okay, I laughed a lot watching the FL and ML interact. The chemistry between the FL and ML is so good. Their acting is very natural, like real siblings. I have watched some of Miaoyi's dramas, and I also know Jun as an Idol, I know he was a child actor. This drama honestly surprised me because their acting is so good! I just know that they were actually having fun doing this project together.

I just hoped they put more songs into the drama, but maybe because it is a rom-com, the OST is more fun songs? Idk.

Short review

So, I'm just gonna say that this drama is so fresh and hilarious. Miaoyi and Jun's chemistry is on par and at the same time, it's so cute. I've never laughed like this. I've also loved the kids who acted as Chao Chao and Tutu. 😭 They're so cute. Every episode is funny af.

lmao. I couldn't forget that part where XiaoTu was literally thrown out of their house, and yet she's so happy af.

indeed, it's worth the wait. I just don't like the way they just throw all the episodes in one day, now it's spoiled. But carats are hilarious thought. Their edits are epic.

Now, gimme Wen Junhui in costume drama.

If you are looking for a drama that makes you feel butterflies, THIS IS THE ONE!

I truly recommend watching this cdrama!! A slow burn that will make you feel butterflies!

The story is amazing, it is mainly a love story, however, it also has so many scenes where I laughed out loud. A classic romcom. It is also very is to empathise with the main roles, their acting is amazing, all of them. What I also like about this story is that you can feel the ML starting to fall in love slowly, however he is not mean, more like patient with the FL, since she is so playful (love both of them hehe).

If you are thinking of watching a cdrama and you don't know which one, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU! :D

FRESH AND BUBBLY ROM-COM

It is a drama that I would recommend for when you want to have a good laugh and have a good time. The characters are very fresh, and although it seems like a cliché story, there are several elements that make it quite unique. I think the adaptation of the novel was done wonderfully, from the cast to the details in the production. It took a little over two years to be published but it was well worth the effort. Jun, congratulations on getting back to work as an actor! You still have the professionalism of your 15 years of acting career ~ im proud, Even if you don't like Lingchao that much, you worked hard! Hopefully you can fulfill your dream of being a villain another time. Miaoyi, good job, you've been busy with so many projects, I'm glad you could bring XiaoTu to life~ Little bunny.

It's a fun filled drama starring Jun from Seventeen in the main male role. I'm a huge carat and I've been waiting for this drama since 2 years. The entire cast proved that it was worth the wait. I was shocked when the trailer was released for this drama and couldn't stop myself from putting the countdown for 2 days from the day of the release of the trailer. It was really a long wait indeed. Even the 2 years of wait felt nothing in front these 2 days 😂
I watched this series because of Jun but in the end fell in love with the entire cast.
It's a light hearted high school love drama which leaves a smile on your face at the end of the drama.
I'm proud of Jun's acting here and will support his acting career no matter what!🫶🏻

Eye-candy leads + Good Kissing scenes + adorable storyline that gives you a fluffy feeling

Such a pure and adorable drama...I love dramas that are free from unnecessary angst and stupid misunderstanding and evil plotting tracks
The leads did an amazing job... I feel unsatisfied if a romance genre drama doesn't have good kissing scenes but I am glad this didn't disappoint me as they were really well done...The story is ordinary but will leave a warm feeling
However, I found the side characters to be weak and sometimes annoying and the first part of the drama was a bit draggy. Nevertheless, the second half was quite good. I don't want to compare it with WIFTY because that drama is irreplaceable and one of a kind. Overall, if you're looking for a cute and lovable romance drama with attractive and endearing lead actors that will give you a warm and fluffy feeling, I definitely recommend giving this one a watch! Personally, I loved it

So worth the wait!

The casting is so good. Each actor fits the character and portrayed it with so much energy and passion.

The plot is really good. It did not only focus on Ling Chao and Xiao Tu’s story. It gave the viewers the preview of the life outside the lead. The side characters were given their own spotlight. It delivered meaningful lessons actually. The story not only talked about romantic love, but also familial love and platonic love.

The songs are also so good. Like it really makes the scenes shine more.

Kudos to the eft team! Kudos to Jun and Miaoyi! Kudos to the whole cast, production team and staff!

Swoonworthy drama!

First of all good casting of all the characters.
The chemistry of ML-FL and both their families are superb. Though the story is bit repetitive but the drama is good and watchable. Both lead characters matures as the story goes forward.

No unnecessary drama by other characters to create rift between main couple is a good thing.
The only problem is that why they have to have one stupid or over dramatic female friend who lives in her own world and try to bring down the female lead.

Rest of the drama is good and worth watching as it is light drama. You will have good weekend watching this.

Decent enough romance drama

I started watching this drama as I generally enjoy coming of age romance dramas, and I had just finished When I Fly Towards You and so I was interested to watch another similar drama with Zhang Miaoyi, but overall this was just okay especially when compared to the aforementioned drama and other dramas with similar themes.

My main issue was with the ML. His performance was completely dry - he was completely expressionless and lacked any emotion or conviction whatsoever and it really brought down the entire drama. I understand that his character is supposed to be the quiet, introverted, somewhat cold type, however there is a way to have this type of character in a show without it being devoid of any expression whatsoever (again, like in WIFTY which has a similar ML character). It made the entire drama drag for me as I just felt absolutely nothing when I watched him, and this was especially disappointing when the FL is such a vibrant and expressive actress as he just did not compliment her at all. Even scenes that I should have found objectively sweet and probably would have made me cry if they were in another drama, I just had no emotional response to as the performance was completely lifeless to me.

The drama itself was decent, although I did start to lose interest a little towards the end as it just started to feel like nothing of value really happened once the main couple got together and especially since the ML made the drama fall completely flat it was hard to even really enjoy the more filler type stuff because I had no emotional connection to the character.

Overall it was okay, however there are plenty of other dramas that do the exact same plots and tropes infinitely better and with much more interesting MLs.

Based on the general storyline, it looked like a typical-youth Chinese drama. The first few episodes were focused on their high school life, but then they moved on to college, work, and personal stuff. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from it, but it surprised me with its good storyline and how the characters interacted.

As a fan of SEVENTEEN and a CARAT, I was excited to see one of the members, Junhui, act for a while in this drama. The chemistry between his character and Miaoyi was so unique and funny. They've known each other since childhood, and their love-hate relationship was hilarious.

Overall, Jun and Miaoyi's chemistry was excellent throughout the series, and no significant issues could've led to a breakup. Most of their conflicts were just because they got jealous if someone showed interest in the other person.

Worth it

A typical youth drama, with basic storyline, naive FL and silent smart ML, lol but this is how most youth dramas are.

If you want to watch light hearted drama, go for it. The storyline is basic, but their acting makes it worth it, because it's quite hilarious and some scenes are actually very funny and new. The production is greatly done.

Although story remains the same - childhood friends/siblings to lovers. Go without expecting some major plot twist or something, then you are going to enjoy it. 🤌❤️

Wen JUNHUI we loved it, ACTOR JUN BACK.
