Love Scenery (2021)

Sympathique mais aurait pu être encore meilleur.

Je viens de finir ce drama chinois, qui était sympathique, mais ce n'est pas non plus celui qui m'a le plus marqué.

En fait, je trouve que l'idée de base est bien trouvée, les acteurs sont pas mal, mais par contre, quelques petites critiques négatives pour moi :

* L'histoire débute, le couple principal se lie d'amitié via un jeux en ligne. Jusque là, super sympa, jolie idée. Mais pour moi, beaucoup trop lent à démarrer du coup dans la vraie vie : Il faut attendre au moins 15 épisodes pour qu'ils se lient dans la réalité, tout le reste du temps c'est par écran interposé. L'idée était sympa, mais par contre, du fait de ce démarrage trop loin dans la série, je me suis moins laissée embarquer.

* Le couple secondaire, aurait pu être mignon, mais idem, trèèèèès long à se former, et encore, sans vraiment être en couple hormis dans le dernier épisode. Quel dommage...

Donc j'ai passé un bon moment, je ne me suis pas ennuyée. Mais je pense que cela aurait pu être bien meilleur.

Fun and Simple

This drama is perfect if you want something simple to watch!! If you like dramas with a fully thought out complicated plot this is not for you!!

As a drama consumer between watching dramas that are praised for their head scratching plot occasionally watching something simple helps and this is perfect for that!

The story is simple a gamer and an idol fall in love. While there are a lot of destiny moments that obviously don't make sense in real life it is still squeal worthy and i couldn't stop smiling.

The biggest 2 draw backs for me is the casting of the 2nd male lead. Like he is 50 years old while the main actress is only in her 20s so it definitely made me uncomfortable at times and that weird little redemption that they gave him almost made me throw up.

The music is definently great, but in dramas that star an idol singer that is kinda expected. I will definitely rewatch certain episodes, but most likely never from start to end again!

I have this listed at a 10 for me personally, but i would only recommend this to people that like cheesy dramas.

A Gem of a drama

Amazingly Heartwarming drama loaded with fluffiness, absolutely loved it.
There is no stupid break up phase just one misunderstanding which is cleared fast. It has a happy ending.
It comprises :-
♡Hilarious parts
♡Cute scenes
♡Steamy kisses
♡Hot sizzling chemistry of leads

I fell in love with it I bet you will too if you like simple fluff romance.

PS: I took the advice of people in comment section and skipped the scenes of Ma Shan Shan . I am glad I did that.
PPS: And I didn't like the second male lead so I skipped his scenes too.

Cutie and bubbly kind of story.

Hi I'm here again. So to make the story short this one is kind of rom-com with a lot of sugar on it. If you wanted to have a very light and cute story this one is for you. The characters were great in doing their job I mean character. What I really like is that they make the drama simple yet entertaining and easy to digest . The music of this show was amazing. Although it is a mini series it gives us a very nice feeling and not confusing plot. The downside of it was that the ending was kind of rush (in my opinion). Maybe if they include a wedding scene it might become better.

Anyway this are just my thoughts and opinion still highly recommend this for you to watch if you want to take a breather to those heavy dramas.

Stay safe ^_^ LOVE LOTS<3

The writers did their job WELL!

This drama was extremely well written and produced. The pacing of the episodes was near perfect, and the quality was top notch. Definitely going in the books as an excellent drama for 2021.

I must say, LIN YI HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH. The romance scenes in this drama are light years ahead of PYHOMS. I was shocked at the upgrade! Lala Xu did a great job as well, and I absolutely loved their chemistry.

The plot was also excellent - as I said before, the pacing of the episodes was near perfect. There weren't any plot-breaking tropes thrown in, which made the drama so much more enjoyable. I loved the in game scenes and how much screen time the main couple was given. The comedic moments in the show helped with the flow as well.

There are quite a bit of unrealistic situations in this show based on the characters professions, (famous singer that can roam around freely anywhere???) but it's tolerable.

The one major con to the show was the SML. I laughed every time he appeared on screen to help me deal with how frustrating his character was. How is someone who's near 50 going to have a chance with our FL? Oh wait, he didn't. But yet he tried so hard to interfere with her business. Nobody asked you to! I am glad that his screen time was somewhat limited as the episodes went on, or I might've given this show a lower score.

That comment aside, I really enjoyed this one, and I think you will too!

Uma surpresa agradável

Com certeza, ao começar esse drama, não esperava que fosse me surpreender tão positivamente.
Protagonizado por Lu Yi (Lu Jing) e Xu Lu (Liang Chen), o drama retrata o romance entre uma cantora de sucesso e um estudante universitário que, secretamente, é um streamer e jogador profissional (no entanto, essa parte só tem enfoque no início).

Liang Chen é uma cantora no auge de sua carreira, mas se encontra insatisfeita com o rumo que sua música está tomando. Já Lu Jing é um universitário confiante, bom em praticamente tudo que se propõe e muito inteligente. Ele é um fã de Liang Chen de longa data, tendo acompanhado ela por uma boa parte de sua carreira musical.

Desde já quero salientar o quão surpresa fiquei com a atuação do Lu Yi. Conheci ele em Put Your Head on My Shoulder (drama que nem consegui terminar, já que não curti muito). Esses três anos de experiência na carreira dele com certeza mostraram frutos. Sua atuação está muito mais charmosa e natural, tendo me cativado diversas vezes ao longo do drama.

Vale dizer que esse é o drama perfeito caso você esteja procurando uma trama leve para passar o tempo. Não tem nada de muito complicado, e até os pequenos desentendimentos (que não são muitos), são tranquilos e não oferecem problemas. Isso se deve à maturidade dos personagens. A Liang Chen é mais velha e, já tendo passado por outros relacionamentos, não age como uma criança imatura. Enquanto que o Lu Jing, embora seja mais novo e (na teoria) mais imaturo, toma, praticamente sempre, as melhores decisões. Desde o início ele deixa claro que quer ficar com a Liang Chen, e vai atrás dela de verdade, a conquistando pouco a pouco. Ele é, na minha opinião, o ponto alto do drama. Não que a Liang Chen seja uma personagem ruim, mas ele é cheio de carisma e personalidade, fazendo com que ela fique um pouco apagada em alguns momentos.

Há sim um rival amoroso, mas também não apresenta grandes problemas. Durante grande parte do drama ele foi apenas um coitado que no máximo tomou algumas decisões patéticas, que irritaram um pouco, mas nada muito difícil de resolver.

O casal secundário demorou a me cativar, mas mais pro final comecei a achar eles muito fofos.

Dito isso, o drama não é perfeito. Há alguns momentos vergonha alheia (o que foi aquela cena da primeira noite deles juntos?) e algumas situações que não fazem muito sentido. Eu, por exemplo não entendi o motivo da carreira da Liang Chen estar em perigo só porque ela queria mudar sua direção musical. Quanto a isso, também faltaram algumas explicações do porquê esse desejo repentino de migrar para o gênero rock. Infelizmente, essa falta de explicação em algumas motivações acaba acontecendo em outras partes do drama também.
Também acredito que o drama peca um pouco no quesito "profundidade". O personagens parecem muito superficiais, tendo sido colocados em cena apenas com o fim de te fazer sentir cativado pelo romance e interações entre eles. Muito do peso e dinâmica entre eles não é explicitada, te forçando a "pegar algumas coisas no ar". Um exemplo disso é a relação da Liang Chen com a Shan Shan (sua melhor amiga da faculdade). É difícil de perceber o significado da amizade delas no início (e mesmo depois, continua sendo algo meio superficial), ainda que o drama coloque toda uma carga dramática em cima disso.

A cena da turbulência no avião, lá no último episódio, foi meio difícil de levar a sério. Mas a cena final compensou, pois foi super fofa e significativa.

No geral, é um drama tranquilo, sem mal entendidos insignificantes. Acredito que ele foi feito pra ser uma jornada leve e romântica, sendo muito bem executado no que se propõe.

Wonderful Cinematography

Great cast with most actors fitting well with their character. Personally I found the casting choice of the SML a bit weird, as he is 50 and well old enough to be the FL's father. The cinematography is wonderful and the gaming graphics are detailed and well shown. In regards to the plot, I found the gaming aspect rather unrelated to the overall story. There were also definitely unnecessary parts of the plot that made the overall drama longer than it should be. I believe that the drama having at the most 24 episodes will be good enough, or perhaps even less.

Overall, I felt that this drama was alright, but not good enough to the extent that I would watch it again.

Romantic Love Story of the Year

After watching this rom-com drama of Xulu and Lin Yi...I cannot get over it rewatching random episodes with sweet moments together. They had good chemistry in every scene except for Ding Jia Yun for me he's too old to be a third party who fell in love with Liang Cheng instead he's fit in a role of an uncle or a producer something though. Age gap doesn't matter as long as sincerity and true love wait.

I liked the fashion style of clothes that they wear and the earth color combinations Lin Yi looks cuter and handsome. He stands 6'1 tall seems perfect in all his outfit and style. Aside from this, I also watched their interviews and video clips behind the scenes they're comfortable and very professional while doing every take of the scenes.

Hoping this will have season 2 in a more mature role to watch Lin Yi and I also like his mesmerizing eyes that catch my attention and his dance moves.

Xu lu is pretty, talented, and she acts naturally..I can say she is a versatile Chinese actress of her generation and knowing she has a supportive family-like her father and mother. Looking forward to her new upcoming drama as well as Lin Yi too.

A simple story for romcom lovers

Before getting into the review I would like to say one thing... This drama might not be an outstanding ine that breaks all the stereotypes and present a Mind-blowing story that you have never expected. But this drama does what it does in a great way.

It is simple and done good. The show feels a bit slow in the beginning, but as you watch you start feeling good.

Yes, there are a few bits that gives me cringe, for example the entire big-data thing of the ML feels stupid, like for the people who know, "Changing the iterations" is a textbook step in model evaluation, but they say that they have been struggling for months and the ML has solved this in a single look, and this is suggested when there is a big competetion is going in, so that the ML can get his spot changed. That is unnecessary scene, but the scriptwriters wanted to convey that the ML is super smart. There are many such antics that need to be ignored. But most of them will end in the first half of the story.

Some actions of the ML towards FL can be a bit overboard in the episodes 11-15.

But when you look back, all you need to remember is the romance which the story will convey in a very good way. So, it is still an absolute recommendation, if you feel prepared.

UPSET WE NEVER SEE AN AUDIENCE PERFORMANCE WITH LU JING PLAYING THE VIOLIN AND LIANG CHEN SINGING

This was like Love O2O meets Intense Love, and I was so down for this. Like seriously. Except the FL in Intense Love was way too dramatic and immature at times.

Lin Yi fucking brought it in this. PYHOMS has never been very great in my eyes, even though a lot of people like it. I have never liked it that much. So when I found out Lin Yi was starring in this? No reaction. But oh man, he deserved a reaction. This man—seriously fucking brought it. I can't wait to get excited about his next work. I hope it lives up to this.

Lulu Xu's character was actually pretty bad good. Usually, I have a thing or two to say about the FL. Not today! Okay, but she's only like a few years older than Lin Yi. How old is her character? Like the fact that the ML was considered too young all the time? Eh. Twenty-two isn't that young when LuLu Xu is only twenty-six (if her character is also this age).

Ding Jia Yun reminds me of that tool from Midsummer Is Full of Love (2020). That fucking tool that can't feel pain—yeah, that one. Very punchable face type. That's the only reason they remind me of each other... very punchable faces. The make-up team really knew what they were doing.

Yes, this started off pretty slow. But that's the thing about C-dramas, they have really great build-up, so when you actually get to the relationship part, you can clearly see why these people like each other. It doesn't just jump straight into anything.

I can't remember the last time I smiled so much. Thank you. I really needed this after an exhausting and depressing week.

So, that soundtrack.... fucking slaps harder than my Asian mother's slipper after a B on a test.

SOOOOO fucking glad there wasn't a breakup. A little "blip", yeah. But I thought that just added more substance to the story.

Downside: I didn't give a shit about the second couple. Ma Shan Shan and Sun Bin Yu's relationship just didn't hit until like maybe the third to second last episode. And it only hit maybe 50% then too. Rough life. All the really good shows don't have good side romance (just like Love Is Sweet).

Also, the romance. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't go into C-dramas expecting much except from a few lip presses (with zero movement—kill me). Well, let's just say dramas like Love Is Sweet and the majority of this... really upping my expectations. The first two kisses in the drama were kind of... like... please move your lips Lulu Xu? Please. Lin Yi is trying his best! But then the third one and beyond? Fucking great. Lulu Xu—I want to watch more of you in dramas. I hope future C-dramas try to follow this and Love Is Sweet's romance steam. I love innovation!

OKAY BUT I'M JUST UPSET WE NEVER GOT TO SEE AN AUDIENCE PERFORMANCE WITH LU JING PLAYING THE VIOLIN AND LIANG CHEN SINGING.
