A Love So Beautiful (2020-2021)
A River Runs Through It (上游)
A similar yet different story to Reply 1988 but with happy ending version (because who else was frustrated about who duk-seon ended up with). Drama review at the very end!
Synopses: Xiao Ju moves to a new neighborhood and has to attend a new high school in her senior year. There, she meets a group of friends and they experience both the happy and the sad times together. As much as it is a story about unrequited and unconfessed love, it is also about friendship, the struggles of finding your path and career, and most importantly growing up and saying good bye.
Cast: Wang Rui Chang (male lead), Hu Yi Xuan (female lead), Chen Bo Hao, Jiang Zhuo Jun, Judy Qi
Drama review
If Reply 1988 was 8/10 (missing that 2 ⭐️⭐️ because of the ending), then this drama is also a 8/10. Even though it was a happy ending, I wish there were more moments of the couple together. Richard Wang (male lead) did an awesome job of portraying his heartbreak and it breaks my heart every time I see him do things for the female lead unconditionally. As he says, “when can you turn around and see me, who has been behind you all this time”.
its been years since i last watched a drama…which i literally watched per episode. most of the dramas i know and aware of the story and its flow, i never had the chance to watch them. maybe because people were hyping the dramas so much that i lost interest. A Love So Beautiful actually got my attention the first I saw it but then again, people were hype-ing the drama so much that spoilers are everywhere that I’ve come to know how was the drama.
I admit, I’m not much of a fan of K-Dramas but I do know a lot of them but I guess, Chinese and Taiwanese dramas will always be my home. Ever since I got into watching dramas, I’ve always been into taiwanese and chinese productions.
And there is where Love 020 comes in, I was scrolling through youtube few days ago when I came across this video compilation of top chinese dramas…and oh boy, Yangyang and Zheng Shuang really got my attention and search a bit about the drama and found out there is quite a catch to it. They are Online Game Players….in which I could relate because I am once an avid player of online games and even Roleplay accounts that gave a way for me to meet new people and made some friends.
LOVE 020 IS NO JOKE. It’s a masterpiece. I love the concept, how the story goes, the way the actors portray their characters. It is really worth the hype.
Also, Yangyang is really captivating!! I see Aaron Yan in him. It’s like I’m watching a younger Yalun, plus, they kinda look similar. I can also see a hint of Mike He in some angles of Yangyang.
Watching Love 020 is really worth it! I’m already halfway the end and I’m already feeling the intense sepanx I’ll get after finishing this wonderful drama.
