Square Pavilion (2024)

Comical yet seriousness, in house fights yet warmth of relations, common yet pretty engrossing

I must say..tan jian ci's acting skill is literally off the charts. He actually gets engrossed so much and adapts the character very nicely. It's like he isn't TJC anymore but yuan mo only. So naturally portrayed and even ah shu is doing really well too. The story has very fine comedy and warmth between relations and friendships. Overall, its a good watch.

PS- They are very quick and on every love story. No side angles and no drooling over some boring plots. Love partners are clear and really quick in confessing and accepting.

Actually yuan mo and ah shu are being shown as having mysterious backgrounds. Both the characters are as broke as hell and too much into fun??. As of now they both want to enjoy the life. Though the story is all set to dive into past mysteries but the essence of drama which is fun comedy and love is not lost at all. This drama fairly portrays how common people are in their daily lives. The storyline might be common but when you watch it, it doesn't seem to be conmon. I didn't understand what made the story stand out from all other similar dramas out there. May be the main story is common but all side stories, side characters, direction and everything is so new to me. And the acting in here, i am at loss of words. Acting is so beautiful, if has given a new life to the whole story. Even if i talk about cast, it's not disappointing. Just give it a try and you won't hate me for recommending.

Go East doesn't go south

I was pretty excited for this drama, especially because it has Tan Jianci as a cute derpy lucky smart dummy and Du Chun as a cold on the outside but warm on the inside army man settling down for the people he loves. According to the trailer, I expected something slightly different, but the reality did not disappoint. The storyline is pretty basic, we have random encounters growing from resentment and teasing into romantic love on the backstory of the evil guys wanting to command a country. This drama is labelled as comedy and it truly is light hearted and stupid cute. Slightly exaggerated at times, but it's okay, I like such comedy. However, the comedic essence subsides with the progress of the storyline and it gets slightly more serious but still with the comedy elements.
There are few things I dislike about this drama - the first one is a pet peeve of mine and the other one is, that the storyline feels a little all over the place since episode 12ish. It is probably due to the fact which I described in the previous paragraph, that the atmosphere gets more serious than comedic as the story progresses and it feels like the main plot is getting scattered. The pet peeve of mine is the element of The Misunderstanding™. I personally do not think that misunderstandings are a funny element, because the writers usually write it in a way which makes the emotions negative because of the misunderstanding. I skipped parts of that episode because I literally cannot handle it. If you also dislike this, don't worry, you won't loose the storyline in this episode even if you skim through said episode.
Other than this I really don't have anything negative to say about this drama. It's good, it's silly, you'll laugh, you'll shed some tears. I'm pretty sure that we will get happy endings for the couples and even if we don't, it will be fine. I love to see Tan Jianci in this genre, I think the character of Yuan Mo fits him really well. Same goes for Du Chun, I especially love his martial arts scenes. I also love both strong female leads. At first I thought that Yuchi Hua will be overbearing and annoying, but she's awesome. I'm not much of an OST person, I'm here for the story and actors, so I can't give you an opinion on that. Overall, a very catchy and nice drama.
