If Paris Downcast (2018)

I watched this drama because Zhang Han is in it . I loved Here to Heart tremendously . The chemistry between the 2 main characters were amazing. Zhang Han & Janine Chang are an amazing pair .
It’s a happy love story that I could watch over & over again .
However , If Paris Downcast was very disappointing compared to Here to Heart . Here except for Zhang Han who again did a fantastic job , I found that he and Adi Kan did not have any chemistry at all . Zero !!!
So a romance drama where the leads do not have chemistry is a waste of time fo me .
I had to drop this series unfortunately though I love watching Zhang Han ! What a shame !!!

Bad storyline. Skip this drama!!

I love watching Hans Zhang Han's dramas. I have seen many of his shows with the most insane amount of onscreen chemistry. I truly enjoy all of the wonderful performances from him. In my opinion, Hans Zhang Han is one of the best romantic actors. In this drama, definitely audiences are blessed with amazing chemistry between the main couple.

The thing is this drama has terrible story telling. Worst!! I feel bad for the actors and actresses of the drama.

Nothing throughout the plot of the story gave me that feeling of excitement to continue watching.

Some of the sacrifice was in vain. No purpose when you think back on it. There are too many unnecessary misunderstanding. The main couple will break up and then make up many times. Hashtag multiple breakups.

The female lead is a lawyer but every so often her character can be impetuous. Her character is weak. No development in her character throughout the drama. What the script did to her role was just pathetic.

The second leads (female and male) are psychopaths who get under your skin.

On the whole, there were some enjoyable moments between the main couple. That's it.

I would not recommend to re-watch.

? how come 7+ rating

This drama deserves negative rating
If you are a low BP person and you want have high BP than this is the one.
Only in Chinese dramas we can see this kind of plot characters, CEO or president ML with no IQ and EQ, world famous and talented lawyer but with no brain.
The synopsis of this drama explained is only meant for starting few episodes but the entire drama is different and too much annoying.
Especially the female lead, I don’t know why in all Chinese dramas they want to portray like the FL don’t deserve the ML. She keeps on telling she won’t leave him but in the next scene she does the opposite, whole drama is this circus only. Even in the last episode, when he left her because of his sickness she told that no matter what she will find him even though if he didn’t remember anything she will start all over again as a new day, but after finding him when she thought he didn’t remember her she turned her back to him.
Every time when she found that there is no mistake of ML she didn’t express any regret or felt bad for doubting him, at least a sorry, she always used to say no matter what she will trust him but in the next scene again she scold him as he is a hypocrite.
Like in all Chinese dramas, because ML in deep love with FL he forgets her all wrongdoings(repeatedly) every time and go on pestering her shamelessly without making her to realise what’s her mistake is, because of that, FL always treats ML as take it for granted.

Too much frustrating

The story started on a good note, but suddenly, things became ugly midway. Partly because of the female lead. She's kinda stupid. She doesn't know what she should do, and is always depending on her so-called best friend, who is practically using her, and also a demon himself. The female lead is so stupid that she has broken up with Hans, like, for a million times. I had no other choice but to drop it midway. I'm sorry.
And the second lead is clearly monster. He's intolerable. And the mom of Hans?! Gosh!! She's a witch, and is clearly manipulating her son and whenever Hans used to go against her, she would always fake her tears or fake a heart attack. She's such a bitch (pardon my language). Overall, the show was boring and frustrating. So I left it midway.

Painfully Slow and Dull

I discovered this show after seeing the FL in Boss and Me. I'm 10 eps in and I think I'm bailing. The ML is stiff as a board and is playing the same character he played in Boss and Me, only he was more likable because of the rest of the cast.

This started off really well, I loved the premise and in the first few eps the FL was pretty feisty, knew her self worth and didn't let anyone walk all over her. But 4 or 5 episodes in, all her feistyness disappears and she becomes a milk toast. The main bad guy, Feng her ex boyfriend drove me crazy and not in the he's a great bad guy way either. He was a whiny, gaslighting jerk. Everytime he saw her, he went out of his way to publicly humiliate her and get her fired. Then in the next breath claim he loved her (after destroying her life and marrying someone else) and then concluded each scene screaming her face saying "I can't believe you are coming after me! Are you trying to destroy me?" This happened in nearly every single episode. She wasn't even thinking about him.

Worst part is he destroyed her life, indirectly got her to cause the death of 2 people (one person had a heart attack because she falsely accused the guy), but somehow Feng (the BL) is the victim? She keeps saying she wants to clear her name and the guy she slandered and caused to have a heart attack, but she doesn't do anything towards that goal. I understand she didn't have the resources and was too busy just trying to find a job but still. This is where we get into the ML.

The ML spent the first 5 episodes bullying her every chance we got. We eventually find out that the man the FL testified against was the ML beloved Uncle and his Aunt died 2 days after her husband so now he's left with his B of a mother. So he blames the FL. However he KNOWS Feng was involved but never once expressed any kind of interest in finding out the Truth. Not once. Even when the FL repeatedly said "it's my goal to clear my and your Uncle's name." Not once did the ML say, I will help you. And he's filthy rich.

Then there's a 3rd guy who seems pretty smarmy and hates the ML so he's using the FL for reasons not explained in the first 10 eps. He hates the ML, again, reasons not explained. The character is like watching paint dry and he looks way too freaking old to play this part. Horribly miss casted. Or maybe if we ever find out this characters back story I'll care, but they already lost me. This series is 48 episodes and it feels like it's spinning its wheels and there's nothing that justifies the length. Literally nothing has happened in these first 10 eps that justify 38 more. The worst part is after redaing the comments it looks like the ending is really depressing. So I'm out. And I hate bailing on shows that I already invested so much of my time in.
