Will Love in Spring (2024)

Absolutely loved

Oh, this gave me all the feels! From the warm fuzzies to bawling. I loved this show. The writing was poignant, the acting was on point! The romantic chemistry was beautiful and so was the family chemistry. The show, of course, talks a lot about death. The way it talks about it, though, is like a complex, deeply layered painting. So heartfelt even when painful and incredibly rich in its depths. This is one of the best cdramas I've ever seen. It was so incredibly well done!
On a slightly petty note: I was so HAPPY to watch a show with a FL who is mature and acts, sounds, and DRESSES like a grown woman. And a relationship that was also mature and equal. No patronizing behavior from the ML to FL. It was so refreshing. I hope to see more shows like this going forward.

A MASTERPIECE of humanity and wisdom. To (re)watch without moderation (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Very nice romantic & family series with Li Xian & Zhou Yu Tong as CL, which sincerely addresses tough themes (disability, death, mourning, trauma, old age, etc.)

PLOT: FL, a sales manager, returns to her hometown for vacation. There she finds her high school friend (rebel), the ML, who has become Funeral Director. They will reweave their bond, and try to heal each other's wounds. But their way of life is very different...

PROS:
+++ CL brilliant, beautiful, talented, with palpable alchemy & without prudery (mature romance and natural kisses). They bring to life deep, wounded, but intelligent, determined characters... Kudo ! I loved this couple!
+++ excellent supporting actors, who bring to life complex, unique, very endearing characters.
+++ a realistic description of life in "small" Chinese towns (tradition, culture, customs, interpersonal relationships,...)
+++ the context is very unusual: I learned a lot about the funeral profession and this drama changed the way I view this activity
+++ the production is lively, direct, without length or unnecessary scenes, without procrastination. Everything (sets, costumes, locations) is realistic and coherent. WELL DONE !
+ very good OSTs
+ Death is mentioned a lot in this drama, without false modesty and with a lot of wisdom.

=> A MASTERPIECE of humanity and wisdom. To (re)watch without moderation (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

I will recommend it to everyone around

It is difficult to describe what I experienced while watching each episode from joy with hatred to butterflies in my stomach. very natural acting, beautiful locations, excellent camera work and the most beautiful musical accompaniment! There were no incomprehensible moments between the lines. The life of ordinary people is shown very realistically. The main characters are very unusual: the heroine with disabilities, the main character works at an unusual work for me personally and brought their fate for the second time. It is important to emphasize the secondary characters. Especially the native main characters, they played very well. If there was an opportunity, I would evaluate them 100/10

My two fave actors... Finally it's out. I love how the plot was being delivered by these awesome and talented actors. This two really can act without dialogues because their eyes can show emotions. Each episodes has it's own story to tell. I am very excited of how the Story is leading to. The FL leads family brings color to this drama as well as the ML grandmother. How can I forgot grandmother's friend who can see the couples future... hahahaha.. that was so funny. I love how the flashbacks being inserted not to spoil something. I love how they deliver their Heartfelt dialogues... I am so in love with this drama.

Well written, exceptional acting and aesthetically pleasing

If you're looking for cliche childish and stupid romcom this isn't for you and please don't bother dropping your 2 cents here coz you're not qualified to do so.
First off the cinematography is top notch felt like I'm watching a movie with solid backing.
The casting is great and these actors' work is really admirable not just the leads but also the supporting cast.
The soundtrack is also pleasing and apt.
It's well paced there seems some cuts but overall nothing too hasty or too slow so it keeps you hooked.
One thing I prolly complain would be the abrupt endings at each episode but dat would prolly because it's meant to be binged?
It's just 5 EPs now but from what I've seen I'm giving it an A+

A beautiful, touching, heartfelt drama delving into human relationships, life, death, and humanity

I was expecting a nice fun romance but was blown away by the depth of this drama. After finishing it today, I thoroughly enjoyed this high quality, wonderfully acted, beautifully directed drama. The characters are rich and relatable. The issues they face and how they they react are realistic and relatable as well. The crew did a fabulous job juxtaposing the beautiful natural backdrop of the main characters’ hometown vs, the beautiful modern skyline of Shanghai. Not only did the drama capture the scenery but also the feel, community, culture, and customs of their hometown.

I love how this drama takes the time and care to portray the various relationships and struggles of many characters. We can see the beautiful decades long bestie friendship between grandma and Ms Lin and how they grapple with the imminent reality that all of us will one day face. We see the push and pull between mom and kids who clearly love each other but struggle with their roles and expectations of each other. We see the siblings teasing each other but care and support each other like how loving siblings do. And of course, we see romantic love blossoming or bursting - with all the emotions that comes along when two individuals, each with their own set of baggage, learn how to work it out. So beautiful.

This leads me to the main focus of this drama, the romantic relationship between the main leads. Wow! Kudos to the actors on their superb acting. They were on fire! I love romantic comedies but I love rich deep interesting romantic comedies more. It was very rewarding to ride along with this couple’s journey, seeing them grow individually and towards each other, see them opening up and allowing their vulnerability to be exposed. And super enjoyable to see the fireworks between them.

I hope you give it a shot and enjoy it!

Finally two grown ups interacting like adults and loving like adults

One oerson mentiined that this story is too “preachy” … thats is true…
ML works as main person in a funeral home… so he is confronted with desth everyday… and of course, this influences the narrative of the show… sometimes a bit melancholic but overall quite sweet…

So… finally a story where the FL speaks normally, acts like a woman, and lives like a modern, working individual, with goals and dreams… she jokes, talks, like a normal woman,,, no dead fish kiss or fake ones… much appreciated for that…

Story is kind of slow pace, but nice…
FL and ML have history together from the past.. and they reconnect… leading to flirting, friendship and falling in love… in a very realistic manner.

The interactions with their family and friends are very normal… you learn quickly to like them…

She is flawed… he is temperamental…. Discussions, break ups, reconciliations are part of their relationship, which is very real.
Some people found her too selfish and he too accommodating…. There is a bit of truth, but slowly you see her change… not perfect but it is there.

Chemistry is pretty good… in the little details…

Overall, I recommend it… 21 ep x 30 mins goes super fast
