Love is Forbidden Here (2022)

Résumé d'une cute romance à développer sur des épisodes de 45 min.

I say it in the preamble, I'm not a fan of these mini-dramas which give me the impression of having a dotted summary of a drama project to be developed. The story unfolds over a long period, with twists and plots, a budding romance with a gender problem, the beginning of a proven romance, a breakup, a denouement, all in 22 8-minute episodes (including credits: (

The actors (all young) are very good, but the format does not allow them to give depth to their character.
The OSTs are decent, but nothing memorable for an entertainment drama.

The story... The story brings together ALL the clichés of the genre: girl disguised as a boy, conspiracies of competitors, loss of her voice, sick grandmother, rumors and orchestrated scandals, breakup to pursue her dreams, etc. As the realization is hasty, there are inconsistencies in the course, but given the rushed pace of the narration, we do not have time to dwell on it.

Conclusion: a frustrating viewing, because the plot had potential, but the budget and format do not allow the actors to demonstrate their talent.
You will understand that I will not watch this mini-drama again, although I would like to see Lu Dong Xu in more developed series.

Je le dis en préambule, je ne suis pas une fan de ces mini-dramas qui me donnent l'impression d'avoir un résumé en pointillés d'un projet de drama à développer. L'histoire se déroule sur une longue durée, avec des twists et des complots, une romance naissante avec un problème de genre, un début de romance avérée, une rupture, un dénouement, tout ça en 22 épisodes de 8 minutes (génériques compris :(

Les acteurs (tous jeunes) sont très bien, mais le format ne leur permet pas de donner de profondeur à leur personnage.
Les OST sont correctes, mais rien de mémorable pour un drama sur l'entertainement.

L'histoire... La story rassemble TOUS les clichés du genre : fille déguisée en garçon, complots des concurrents, perte de la voix, grand-mère malade, rumeurs et scandales orchestrés, rupture pour poursuite de ses rêves, etc. Comme la réalisation est hâtive, il y a des incohérences dans le déroulement, mais vu le rythme précipité de la narration, on n'a pas le temps de s'y attarder.

Conclusion : un visionnage frustrant, car le plot avait du potentiel, mais le budget et le format ne permettent pas aux acteurs de démontrer leur talent.
Vous aurez compris que je ne regarderai pas à nouveau ce mini-drama, bien que j'aimerai voir Lu Dong Xu dans des séries plus développées.

Overall cute drama

Female lead takes her brother's place in a music competition because her brother hurt his foot. She always had a music dream. So she dress like a boy to take her brother's place. When she was changing, she accidentally encountered the male lead. The male lead is a senior idol/singer. He guides and trains the other members of the competition including the female lead. He slowly develops feeling for her( not knowing he is actually a girl)

The chemistry between them is soo good! they have a lot of cute, skip a heart beat scenes . Their kissing scenes are on point too.

The only really minus is the story line is kinda choppy. With a random side characters trying to blackmail the female lead about exposing her. All for her to leave the male lead and not be too close to him. Also the process of letting people know she is a girl is kinda choppy too. First its letting the company' s boss know her true identity, then her band mates and then i cant keep up lol

I still give it a 9.0 for the romance!!
