A perfect blend of OG Taiwanese Dramas and new Chinese Dramas
Having heard a lot of frustration and mixed reviews about the last 10 episodes or so of this drama, I was honestly preparing myself for it to be pretty bad, but I honestly really enjoyed it, and asides from maybe the ending being rushed, I agree with the majority of the writing choices.
Being already a fan of Liang Jie and Xing Zhao Lin, I was super excited to see their chemistry here, and they definitely don't disappoint. They're so natural around each other, and it was very touching to see their characters' relationship develop over time. The beginning was fast paced, comedic, and super enjoyable to watch. The various mishaps, while sometimes cringey, were super fun to watch nonetheless. Honestly, compared with many other modern day romantic cdramas, Jia Xin and Xi Yi are both more complex than what appears on the surface, and I think the situations these characters went through really shows their development and growth. While I was definitely frustrated with both at times, you really can't help but still love them, root for them, and ultimately understand where they're coming from/why they do what they do.
The relationship b/w Jia Xin and her mom was beautiful, and same goes for her relationship with Xi Yi's grandma. The supporting characters (namely Anson + Siqi) were fun to watch, but definitely didn't go through as much development. Some characters were pretty much forgotten about completely (Xiyi's aunt + brother). Some characters didn't really develop at all lol (Dylan, Anna). But nonetheless, I still enjoyed watching them all.
I think what hits me the most is the storyline between Ximi and the 3 year time jump. It definitely gave me My Lucky Star feels, and made me cry like a baby. I was so so impressed by the main leads' acting, and despite never experiencing something like what they did, I was so touched. It brought the dramatic writing of mid-2000s Taiwanese dramas and updated it to appeal to the modern-day cdrama watcher. It gave me both a sense of nostalgia without being as over the top/cringey as older dramas haha.
Like others have mentioned, the last episode was definitely rushed, and the leads only got back together within like the last 5 minutes. I feel like a lot of cdramas nowadays have the tendency to do this. I would've loved for them to go visit Ximi's room together, or just spend more time together rather than rushing straight into their wedding.
I already miss their chemistry, so even though I don't like historical dramas, I might actually watch The Eternal Love now!
