The Love You Give Me (2023)

filled with excitement, cute romance.

My goodness.. i love this drama so much because you know, it's just PERFECT (ofcourse nothing is perfect not even their own story) yet i love their story, it really touches your heart.
The Actors and actresses. They act SO GOOD its very natural that i didn't even think it was a DRAMA/FILM.i love all the actors/actresses. Specially My cute lil hero Cui Yi Xin ( Min Quan Quan )

While watching, i was like thinking that i'm literally inside the drama too, it just flowed smoothly.

This production was so nice. I'll root for the actors and actresses of this drama.

Really enjoyed this rom com

I've watched several cdramas now and this by far is one my favorite
It has all the sweetness and emotions played well by all the different couples.
It has real life issues, complications and playfulness: Harassment, power plays, marriage, sacrifice, motherhood/fatherhood, meaning of family, custody

The female characters are portrayed well with strong character.
The FL character is so strong and able to sacrifice so much for her son and the one she loves
The ML is playful and plays his character well coming from an abandoned background to a wealthy adoptive family overseas.

REally like the BFF of the FL lead and the sister! They were both portrayed well! Strong yet loving!
The son has great lines and says them well! He really steals the show!

And the ending is a good wrap up, not like some of them where the ending leaves feeling jilted or not complete.

Lastly, the scene where they show the other cdrama our FL & ML were in is so comical! Writer has good sense of humor

Maybe my expectation was too high

I was waiting for this drama since the first rumor it came out after watching Once We Got Married. I really love ther chemistry between Wang Wang Couple that's why I expected a lot in this drama. First couple of episodes started decent, but the graph soon gets lower and lower through the new episodes. At first I could watch it without fast forwarding, then I fast foward a little, then I only skimmed the episodes. I skipped the other CPs since I didn't really care about them. To be honest, QuanQuan really carried the show. The plot was cliche but I really hoped they could execute it better. The drama didn't really make the viewers get invested. It was flat and boring and I just don't feel it even though I am trying to like it. Really wish it could be better.

Skip!

I just cannot believe that this drama has received 10/10 reviews praising the writer for the plot, incredulous. Having a silly, unrealistic setting in romantic comedies is perfectly normal, but to at least some extent the writer should respect the audience. Here not only are there at least 2 completely intolerable plot points, but also in the second half the plot is very jittery with no respect for logic.
In my review of 'Love is Sweet' I wrote that the OTP romance is good and everything else is trash. In 'The Love You Give Me' that statement not only holds up, but also even the romance is not nearly as good, but the annoying things are perhaps even more annoying. The two side couple's stories are also not great..

To say something good about the show, at least the acting is on a high level across the board & the leads were very cute together, with very good chemistry. (and there were many times when I found that both leads had red ears during some of their scenes, I found that to be very cute) However this is not enough to save this drama. There are many fluffy scenes that I have enjoyed, with a decent amount of comedy, however this is not enough to save the drama, not even close. There is just too much push-pulling here, with the progress always stalling due to very arbitrary reasons. Even the final episodes hold some "fantastic" surprises to sour the cake for us.

Ah almost forgot, the child actor playing their kid was amazing..

ML is the worst kind of romanticized character

I had to drop it, they keep masking super red flag behavior on the part of the ML and try to play it up with cute scenes with the kid to make up for it.

Yes there are some cute moments, but I will never forgive a character who told a mother her child was DYING just so he could get some confirmation, there are a million other ways he could have gotten that information. This is a DROP and earns a solid F minus grade for the writer from me.

I think the worst part is that his behavior is constantly presented clearly to the audience in the worst possible light and then immediately shown as he's "justified" because of X Y Z happened in the past. You have the right to be angry about things that happened, but you do not have the right to use your power to make an emotionally charged decision that will affect thousands of people because you're mad at your ex.

A Repeat of Once We Get Married this Was Not

The leads in this have wonderful chemistry. They played opposite each other in Once We Get Married and did a phenomenal job. So this series already had extra points for casting them together again. The premise of the series was strong with a lot of potential but unfortunately the story quickly lost steam early on. I don't know if it was too much focus on the kid, which can sometimes happen when dramas are centered around children or if it was the conflict in the story shifting to business which wasn't well written, but this just started not to work in part due to these issues. As a result, I did not continue this show and dropped it about 1/4 of the way through.
