Love is sweeter the second time around.❤️

*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)
Title : The Love You Give Me – 2023 (Complete 28 Episode)
Personal Rating : 8.5/10

Love is sweeter the second time around.❤️

Xin Qi ( played Wang Zi Qi) is a handsome young CEO of an investment company with life-threatening heart condition.
Min Hui (Played Wang Yu Wen) is a smart single mother and R&D assistant to one of the directors at a tech firm.
This drama is about love on the second time around. Five years ago, a young woman named Min Hui accidentally fell for a young man named Xin Qi. But things between them were complicated because Min Hui was pretending to be Xin Qi’s long lost childhood friend in a misguided way to help the friend who had died suddenly. Furthermore, Xin Qi suffered from a dangerous and potentially life-threatening heart condition, and Min Hui now desperately in love, didn't want to see him suffer. It didn't help matters that each time she tried to tell him the truth, he would cut her off, not believe her, or his heart condition would relapse. When he finally learned the entire truth, he cut all ties with her.

Now, five years later, they are reunited at a business event in the most uncomfortable of situations. Min Hui has risen to become an R&D assistant to one of the directors at a tech firm and Xin Qi has also made a name for himself as the CEO of an investment firm. Deciding that “fate” has brought them back into contact for a reason, Xin Qi decides to take all of his previous anger and betrayal out on Min Hui. But "fate" also reveals that Min Hui has a son, who is suffering from the same exact heart condition as Xin Qi making him realize through a series of events that he's the father--much to the adorable boy's delight.
Overall, this drama is a slice of life romantic comedy drama. It is funny, cute, and light. I watched this drama two times I think and it really makes me smile every time I watch it. I love how strong Min Hui is terms of taking care for her son with heart condition. She is very mature and independent (even in the way she dressed). And I love Xin Qi for doing everything he can for them (Min Hui & Min Quan Quan) to make up for the times that he was not there for them. Some people have this kind of situation and I think they delivered it well. Min Quan Quan is so cute and adorable. The chemistry of the Lead couple is so good and natural. Their acting is so genuine, and they are very comfortable with each other. I recommend this one if you need a break from heavy, scheming political dramas.

LEAD CAST – Wang Zi Qi , Wang Yu Wen

I usually avoid dramas where one or both of the main characters has a child, because of my own peculiar reason since childhood, but both instances, including this drama, surprised me as this is the second time where the kid stole the show.

Like in “Unforgettable Love,” the child actor was so precocious and lovely as he became the catalyst where the two leads get together. I couldn’t believe that Cui Yi Xin was only around 6 or 7 yrs old when this drama was filmed. Quan Quan seemed more mature than his young age and perhaps because he had to go through a lot due to his heart condition.

The leads were not too shabby, even though it’s the first time I’ve seen either of them. In the beginning, Wang Yu Wen came across as bland and lacking personality, especially in contrast with Ma Xin Rui’s character, Cao Mu, who is spunky as Min Hui is dry. But throughout the show, she develops a backbone as she fights the injustices of sexual harassment and other political games that people were playing against her.

On the other hand, Wang Zi Qi balances the jilted ex-lover Xin Qi who misunderstood Min Hui’s intentions, and the protective boyfriend he later became to be. Although, at some point, he turned into a bit of a stalker, following Min Hui around the city to get into her good graces, while finding intel on her non-consequential blind dates. Some might get put off with this, but the drama defends this behavior as permissible since there was no malice behind it.

Speaking of which, I find it really laughable that Xin Qi spends most of the drama pursuing Min Hui that I wonder when he actually works as a CEO of a large company. Ru Ji mocks this trope in one of his later conversations with Zi Zhu, that only in a drama world, where a character can be with their beloved 24/7. There’s also a lot of contrived instances I found disbelieving. For instance, Quan Quan had multiple run-ins with Xin Qi because he had the freedom to roam the halls of the hospital or wait outside alone. He was also asked a few times not to open doors to strangers while his mother was out running errands. It was fortunate that all these encounters were with Xin Qi, who he later discovered to be his father, otherwise I would have been terrified by the thought of him being taken away by an unscrupulous person.

There’s also that coincidence where Cao Mu’s boyfriend, happens to be the brother of Min Hui’s acquaintance, who happens to live at the same orphanage as Xin Qi. Talk about a small (drama) world. Talking about Cao Mu and her boyfriend, it was cute in the beginning until it wasn’t. But their pairing was better than Ru Ji’s and Zi Zhu’s, despite Ru Ji’s insistence to the contrary, that no, Zi Zhu isn’t a replacement. I lost interest in these four people after they coupled up and their chemistry fizzled.

Although the business back story provided the characters with material to work with, it didn’t captivate me as much as I anticipated. The Be Agile tech company serves only as a platform to showcase Min Hui’s intelligence, and the hostile takeover was only a way to bring the antagonist Qi Rang back into the fold. The drama started strong, and the ending was solid, but was mostly soft in the middle.

The absence of Quan Quan in the back half of the drama was palpable. I kept wondering, who is babysitting the child? Where is he and who is he staying with? The drama tried to cram so many things in the last few episodes, like we finally see Xin Qi working until he collapses because of exhaustion. Then besides all this, the villains did not get their just desserts, or at least, it wasn’t satisfactory to my taste. Are we supposed to forgive Xi Yue for all the things that she has done to destroy Min Hui? And how about Qi Rang? Yes, authorities arrested and convicted him for the sexual harassment he committed against Min Hui years ago, but what about his illegal dealings? Also, Xin Di’s absence in the main couple’s wedding is a glaring omission. The two secretaries were there, why not her?

But all in all, a decent drama about second chances.

A Heartwarming Romance with Unforgettable Chemistry, Humor, and Emotional Depth

If you are here for something that is romantic as well as entertaining along with comedy and emotions I bet this is best drama to watch !!

Chemistry Between the Leads:-
One of the strongest points of the drama is the undeniable chemistry between the main couple, Min Hui and Xin Qi. Their relationship is rooted in both intense passion and unresolved tension. Even when they're at odds, you can feel the deep emotional pull between them. The chemistry between Min Hui and Xin Qi in The Love You Give Me is intense and emotionally charged. Xin Qi’s anger and betrayal after misunderstanding Min Hui leads to a painful breakup. Five years later, he discovers he has a son with her, intensifying his struggle to forgive and reconnect. Their unresolved love and the tension between them create a powerful dynamic. Watching them confront their past mistakes and slowly rebuild their relationship is a journey filled with emotional pain, vulnerability, and hope, making it both heart-wrenching and deeply moving.

The Side Couples:-
The drama also doesn't skimp on its supporting characters. The side couples, though not always the focus, bring their own charm and quirks to the story. Their interactions add depth to the narrative and offer lighter, more humorous moments that balance the heavy emotional weight of the main plot. Whether it's the playful banter between the supporting characters or their own love stories, they contribute significantly to the show's overall charm.

Father-Son Bond:-
Another standout element is the father-son relationship that slowly comes to light as Xin Qi discovers he has a child with Min Hui. The bond between Xin Qi and his son is heartwarming and adds an emotional layer to the narrative. Watching Xin Qi gradually embrace his role as a father, and the child’s joy at reconnecting with his father, provides some of the most tender moments in the series. Their relationship offers both humor and a sense of vulnerability, making Xin Qi’s character arc even more compelling.

Funny Moments:-
Despite the heavy drama, the show knows how to inject humor at just the right moments. Whether it's the awkward situations Min Hui and Xin Qi find themselves in or the lighthearted dynamics between the supporting characters, these moments bring much-needed levity and help the story avoid becoming too melodramatic. The humor is well-timed and often plays off of the characters' personalities, giving the show a balanced tone.

Negative Point of Drama:-
The Love You Give Me has a somewhat rushed pacing, especially towards the end. While the emotional buildup between the leads is strong, the resolution feels a bit too fast, with key moments of reconciliation and forgiveness happening quickly. This rapid windup makes the final act feel slightly condensed, as if the drama is trying to wrap up lingering tensions and plot points all at once. While the overall story remains heartfelt, the speed of the conclusion might leave some viewers wanting more time to fully absorb the characters' emotional journeys. This rushed pacing is one of the drama's main drawbacks, as it diminishes the emotional impact of the finale.

Overall, The Love You Give Me successfully combines romance, family drama, and humor into a story that is both emotionally resonant and entertaining. The chemistry between the leads, the strength of the father-son bond, and the quirky side characters make it a solid watch for fans of emotional romance dramas with a touch of humor. This drama is so hilarious! I can't remember how many times I laughed. Highly recommended must watch!

Love the Wangx2. Watched them OWGM and now this. Awesome Romcom and fun to watch.

The Love You Give Me is another contemporary drama that reunited Wang Yu Wen and Wang Zi Qi together again. Their onscreen chemistry was off the chart in Once We Get Married, and now again in this drama.

The script is good and focused on the mature relationship between the two, especially since together they have a son.

I like this drama a lot because Wang Yu Wen's character is a very capable mom and career woman in AI high-tech world, and Wang Zi Qi is an investor who invests in high-tech companies. Hence it makes their work relationship equal, and the kid, Cui YiXin, is so cute and smart playing their son, Min Quan Quan.

I don't care much for the 2nd and 3rd CP because they are unnecessary. It would be more interesting if Dr. Zhou RuJi had been more vocal about his interest in Min Hui; then, it would have made the dynamic of their relationship more interesting. I'm not fond of Yao Zi Zhu's character; she is annoying.

Overall, it is not a bad drama; I look forward to new episodes released M-Th and rewatch them often. I am giving it an 8.5 rating. A couple of songs in the OST are good as well.

Cute Romance, Terrible Pacing

The Love You Give Me started off great and had a lot of promise to be a fun, sweet romcom and it might have stayed that way, if this show had been 20 episodes or less. There was not enough story for them to make this show so long and it felt like the writers were making up for this by throwing in annoying conflicts to keep this couple apart and prolong the story.

The lead actors had great chemistry and I kept watching because they were very cute together. The child actor who plays their son was adorable and their little family was very sweet to watch. The dynamic between the dad and the little boy was a highlight of the show.

The enemies/exes to lovers trope was really good and the two actors had great chemistry with each other, but the pacing felt so off with the execution. The tension of them being enemies was over very quickly, he found out about their son so early on, and they moved into co-parenting and being friends within a few episodes! It left very little plot for the rest of the show.

The final third of the show was very irritating to watch. It felt like this couple would take one step forward and two steps back. The other two side couples in this show were very uninteresting and had way too much screen time, especially at the end. I didn’t buy that either of those couples would be together. There was far too much time given to the company storylines that weren’t very interesting to start off with.

The flashbacks to the couple’s past at the end of each episode were really cute but the rest of the backstory was an absolute mess. When they did the full reveal as to what had happened, that was around the time I lost almost all interest in the show. I ended up fastforwarding through the majority of the last few episodes.

If they had significantly shortened this show to focus on the romance and take out some of the contrived conflicts, I would have liked it a lot better. There are great elements - the chemistry of the main couple, the adorable kid playing their son, strong characterization of both lead characters - but it wasn’t enough to combat a lot of the really boring filler.

Sweet and endearing!

The Love You Give Me is a fun, endearing and sweet story about second chances.

Wang Yuwen and Wang Ziqi reunite, after working in their hit drama Once We Get Married, and prove they still got it. Their easy going and sizzling chemistry remains top notch and carries the entire show effortlessly.

If casting directors want to reunite them for a third time in a drama, they have my blessing. Please and thank you. Watching these two work together is a joy and pleasure.

My one complaint about this drama is that it could have been a few episodes shorter; the antagonist storyline ran too long. But overall this is a solid and entertaining watch you can simply sit back and enjoy. Maybe get mildly frustrated with one or two characters.

The opening and ending song are good as well.

I recommend it!

don’t read this review if you liked the show or plan to watch it

can someone please explain to me why the child was more mature most times than the male lead. lol like how is your child more mature and serious than you? 😭the male lead’s personality gave me whiplash. honestly the storyline in the beginning was confusing but entertaining but then it will downhill from there. i did skip some episodes because i couldn’t do it anymore. if you like childish men then you might like this drama 😍the only good thing about this drama was the female lead and the son. i liked how independent and protective she was of her son even from the dad as a mother should. but also i liked she made him grovel for the mistakes he made and owned up to her mistakes and basically didn’t take anybody’s crap.

Gostosinha, mas não espetacular!

É gostosinho de assistir, mas não é nada demais.
O enredo até que começa bem, gostei pois a Prota é forte e não submissa, mas achei que depois as coisas ficam muito arrastadas, o que faz com que seja difícil terminar.

Uma relação que se iniciou por um desentendimento e que se separaram, por um tempo, por conta do mesmo. Entendo que é complicado confiar numa pessoa depois de uma mentira, mas a mesma queria a todo momento se libertar da mesma, mas o próprio cara teve um treco depois que ela tentou. Então como não ter medo depois dessa situação? Achei que ele foi muito infantil de não ter buscado enxergar o lado da versão dela. E ainda bem que ele não foi totalmente tosco quando descobriu a parternidade, pois ele mesmo admite que se ela tivesse contado na época não saberia se sentiria confortável pelo fato de ser pai. Em decorrência das mentiras e da sua doença, que acabou até sendo transmitida para seu filho.

No mais achei bonito o desenrolar do amadurecimento do amor deles. E o personagem infantil é muito fofo.

Contudo não acho uma história surpreendente, vale a pena assistir se quiser passar um pouco o tempo.
