As Beautiful as You (2024)

Timeless love

This Drama was the most creatively written drama I seen in such a long time. This was brilliantly written and produced. The characters was really good. It had its ups and downs for me but honestly I felt like I was watching my parents grow up. That's how connected I felt.

The ending episode 41 sigh.... it was the most breathtaking episode. The forgiveness card he had. He was so healthy yet, he knew he was going to pass away before her. I just couldn't stop crying. I held my partner tight. I just wanted to live life after this drama. We only get one chance. Meanwhile I'm watching this but in real life , mentally I was going through hell, thank you for creating this drama and being a contributing factor in my mental health healing. I know it's a drama but bravo ma and dad

A rivetting love story that you should try watching!

If there ever was an unreliable MDL rating, it's for this drama. I have been stuck in a rut with being unable to enjoy dramas so had low expectations going into this and this drama just blew me away. 40 episodes were finished in no time.

What I enjoyed:
- Both characters had growth and developed with the passage of time. Unlike 80% of cdramas, the FL's actions were sensible and rational. She is very naive when it comes to business but is willing to learn and rely on herself to grow. I liked that the FL solved her own issues most of the time rather than being the damsel in distress. The ML also starts out cold and unfeeling but towards the end, he realises the value of love and sacrifice and learns how to communicate better to avoid misunderstandings.
- The wholesome and complete happy ending gave me butterflies. To find a love like that, is enviable. I thoroughly enjoyed the extra episode
- The leads had great chemistry and the plot was easy to follow and interesting that I was willing to watch 15 episodes of very little romance. I think even the SML at one point states the ML is filming a commercial drama rather than romance and that cracked me up
- The second leads were not ALL boring. Unlike most cdramas, where I skip the second and third lead stories, I enjoyed LL's storyline and how she fell for someone who was not right for her and not willing to make room for her in his life. She also learns and grows and accepts someone who has been patiently loving her all along. That was a nice cherry on top of the main leads' storyline.
[Slight spoiler below]
-Their breakup was believable and realistic. Their values, and perspectives differed quite a bit and the relationship was not ready to be tested like that. The FL did not forgive him right away and the ML had to grovel and ask for forgiveness multiple times before she returned to him. He learned to value her more and realised he couldn't be without her and she understood his actions better and reflected on how much he had done for her. Dramas that have no closure and unnecessary breakups annoy me but here it seemed like it was part of their growth and story. Without it, the drama would have lacked something and their love would have been less believable.

Did not enjoy as much:
- I skipped past the third leads story (the influencer friend and the bar owner as well as the grand aunt). It didn't add much to the story and I found it quite boring
- The ML rubbed me off the wrong way in the beginning with the way he sometimes looked down on the FL because he thinks she's clueless and will fail in her business. Ultimately I moved past it because he learned to behave better over time and it was part of his cold and business-like demeanor with everyone.
- The second male lead inserted after the breakup (in Germany) was unnecessary. They could have resolved issues without the jealousy aspect.

Overall, this drama took me along on a journey and I'm more of a fan of the main leads than before. This drama had continuity, chemistry, character development and a very satisfying ending.

¿Cómo definimos el amor ? ¿Que dices tu?

Comencé a ver está serie sin ninguna expectativa, pensé una serie más de otros estilos que ya hemos visto de ambos protagonistas pero pensé que le daría una oportunidad y para mí sorpresa me gustó!!!.
El personaje de Han Ting se ganó mi corazón rápidamente con lo torpe y detallista que era cuando se trataba de amor. Ji Xing por su parte a veces la entendía y otras veces me estresaba pero aún así admiraba su trabajo.
Creo que ambos maduraron durante toda la serie y lo que más me gustó es que definitivamente me hicieron pensar ¿Que es realmente el amor ? y para mí pesar aún no tengo la repuesta.
Final bonito con un capítulo extra que me saco lágrimas con esa frase final como sobre que el amor solo se puede definir al final de nuestras vidas.
Los personajes secundarios todos me gustaron muy simpáticos y me alegra que Li Li finalmente eligiera al chico bueno porque el amigo de HanTing era una bandera roja andante pero pese a todo igual entendía su postura que demostraba aún muchas heridas.
Los villanos fueron precisos, desagradables y como en toda buena historia tuvieron su merecido.
Comedia romántica ligera , sobre amor y otros problemas.
