Ai Zai Chun Chi Jian (2022)

Più che decente, considerato il formato.

Intendiamoci, se si trattasse di un film o di un drama di lunghezza molto superiore, sarebbe insufficiente.
Però questo titolo, che messo tutto insieme non raggiunge nemmeno un'ora, tutto sommato raggiunge abbondantemente il suo obiettivo di intrattenere lo spettatore e di comunicare un messaggio: l'amore è sacrificio. Che sia o meno vero, questo pare essere il leit motif.
È abbastanza fuorviante che venga presentato come un film di vampiri, perché in realtà non è di questo che si tratta.
Questi Lunariani, come vengono chiamati, sono esseri che si cibano di energia, ma non paiono nemmeno rubarla agli altri esseri viventi.
Ad ogni modo, la storia è abbastanza lineare e unisce diversi cliché abbondantemente usati in altri drama, a partire dalla sorellastra cattiva, passando per la brava ragazza che ne subisce le angherie e si caccia continuamente in guai da cui deve essere salvata dal maschio di turno, senza che nemmeno tenti di difendersi da sola, per finire al grande amore che conquista tutto.
Lo stesso format ci dice che non può trattarsi di una produzione di grosso budget, e infatti gli attori sono pochi e non particolarmente stellari, con l'eccezione di Zhang Fei Fei, che tutto sommato sta un gradino sopra.
Il commento musicale è francamente dimenticabile però gli effetti speciali si fanno valere abbastanza, sempre considerato il tipo di lavoro che è. Costumi maschili abbondantemente promossi, mentre non si capisce il vezzo di vestire spesso la protagonista con degli stracci inqualificabili, specie perché aspirerebbe ad essere una grande attrice.
Non conosco il lavoro originale da cui è stato tratto, ma la mia personalissima lettura è che l'amico del protagonista, in realtà, vorrebbe essere qualcosa di più di un semplice amico. Chissà, magari in passato lo è pure stato. Ma siamo in Cina, per cui in ogni caso più di così non si poteva alludere.
Per quanto riguarda il finale, e ricordo di aver messo il tag SPOILER, dopo un sacco di avanti e indietro in cui l'energia viaggia da uno all'altra e viceversa, suppongo che quello che ci fanno vedere nell'ultima inquadratura sia il risultato finale in cui lui ha rinunciato nuovamente a 200 anni per salvarla e il suo amico glie ne ha donati cento dei suoi in modo che tutti potessero vivere più o meno felici e contenti. Vediamo infatti due campanelle dorate al braccio di lei e una campanella argento al braccio di lui.
L' amore è sacrificio, dicevamo. Sacrificio su molti livelli, sia rinunciare alla propria vita, o alla propria felicità per donarla alla persona che si ama.
Si tratta di un drama che non va visto cercandovi una perfezione che non esiste, ho un world building che non esiste, ma che certamente può assicurare un'ora di onesto divertimento.

Sweet little drama

What you will going to see in 3 minutes episodes ,3 minutes it goes in a blink but some episodes of this drama were went in a blink but some were not . Actually some episodes were cool . Story is really good but I am not understanding why there is a need to make a drama has episodes of 3 minutes duration , instead they could make a movie .
This part I don't understand but rest was good ,good story and good acting . I think only 3 minutes duration make you frustrate as you have to click on next button after evry episode in 3 minutes. But viewers will enjoy watching this drama . Especially the acting part .

I found sweetness. But "Not in the Confectionery"

Somehow i happened to stumble upon it while surfing on mdl and it has got me into its grip completely...

If you want to enjoy this mini cdrama...leave your logic aside for a while and just interest and moral will do the work....

it's a simple sweet, cute, funny, fluffy, warm drama and a bit of a thrill is added as well. They definitely make a good pair. It has a lot of skinship as well which makes it more sweet that a diebetic can't handle this. I also have different view on this, i mean those kisses are like jump scare, suddenly coming out of nowhere...well if you think you can like that then..Go ahead!

Acting part is actually good considering that they have very less acting experience...

I guess chemistry here played important role rather its others elements..... it is fast paced and frustrating to watch for 3 min and get disturbed by end credits...

But, you will definitely get what you expect from such dramas. Umm fluffiness, cuteness or similar things that you have in your mind...

Thanks for reading...
Happy watching...

The taste wasn't what I thought it was

I thought it had something to do with cooking, it didn't. I should have probably read the description before watching it. No regrets on that. Made the experience more fun.

You would think three minute episodes are too short but with my attention span in two in the morning, they were perfect.
I started watching it without expectations and it was great, I had fun.

Story
Leave the logic out of the door and you will enjoy the story a lot. It's cute and weird.
He is some kind of alien but we don't go deep into that, only the parts that move the plot forward.
She is cute, wants to be an actress and that's pretty much everything.
She needs to be saved all the time but I didn't mind that, she was brave when it was important.
The side characters are kinda insane but I liked them because of that, they made the story better.

What I thought was hilarious/good
- The message from the doctor at the beginning, three minute episodes but you got to move the plot forward, if she went to the hospital it would take at least five episodes so I like this approach.
- Ze's smile, he has a super cute smile.
- The bad CGI red eyes, they were hilarious.
- The way they teleport, that was decent.
- The editing in some parts was questionable but it did make everything funnier.
- Their relationship, it was adorable.
- The part where they kept sacrificing for each other, I know it's not supposed to be funny but it was.
- Ze's confession and her answer, that was nice.
- Some bad crying scenes, some good.
- The part where he starts to turn into a monster but tries to control it, that was my favorite scene.
- Their kisses, too cute.

There are some things that were left unanswered but for a three minute drama it was great. It was interesting and it kept my attention from the beginning to the end.

love is sacrifice

This made me cry, good mini drama. According to short length setting, they have cute chemistry. Zhang Fei Fei stole my heart in a little over 100 minutes. Actually I was invested at the moment he entered the screen. Striking appearance, beautiful smile! Must admit, he's hot and I'd like to see him in main cast of full length drama..
Omg I watched the whole series and all I understand is" LOVE is about SACRIFICES. It's a very very good story at the end I thought there is a sad ending and she'll die but but it was good ending i think His friend sacrificed his life to keep them together, I just loved it..

Sweet and a drama to kill your time.

I've already watched a lot of dramas and this is my first time to submit a review. To be honest, as soon as I saw the trailer or the teaser, I thought it was really interesting and I should give it a try. Here we are. By the way, I just finished it yesterday. First, the actors and the actresses. They were great especially the male lead, I just discovered that this was his debut drama. Not to mention, the chemistry of the two, damn, this was the biggest reason of all why I got hooked with it. Second, plot-wise, it wasn't really what i've expected. It could've been better for some parts. It's also messed up from what I see, but I think that's because it's just a mini drama. Third, i wish it could be longer (a normal drama to be exact with couple or tons of episodes) It's frustrating to press the next episode every after 3 mins. or more. If that is the case, they could've just compiled it or I think there was a compiled ver. already but no eng subs yet. Overall, it had huge potential.

Not Bad for A Short Drama

This drama has a very interesting story plot. That is why I started to watch it. It is a short drama so it won't take a lot of your time. I thought the actors did a pretty good job in their performance. There was some over acting. Some of the special affect was not great but over all I likes it. I enjoy romance drama and especially when we do not get these fake kiss and lover's who don't even touch. If you are going to act, then act and make us believe in the feelings you are portraying. I like the chemistry between the lead actors. That always help convincing the drama watchers. Good job everyone.

Love and Sacrifice TT

Since leads come from different race & she have terminal illness, this was bound to hv many sad scenes. The ending didn't really made me happy but it fits the plot. I cried while watching this.

Main couple have sweet chemistry. I won't spoil about the sacrifice.

There are two antagonist, FL's step sister and ML's friend. However, ML's friend seem a bit too much but is quite reasonable. Her sister is annoying and turns into a paranoid at end.

The male lead Zhang Fei Fei stole my heart in a little over 100 minutes. I was invested at the moment he entered the screen. Striking appearance, beautiful smile! Must admit, he's hot and I'd like to see him in main cast of full length drama

The first episode itself makes you get hooked. Because-
1) Terminal illness
2) Alien
3) One night stand
We know, that this drama only had a running time of 3 mins per episode. So to cover up an interspecies romance along with one of the leads suffering from a terminal illness was not really an easy task. This drama always made the viewers have this one question in their mind until the very end- Is it a happy ending?

Because Interspecies romance and terminal illness are one of those plots that are just not so easy to be covered up as a happy ending. Yet this drama did a good job with the execution.

The storyline:-
Female lead wants to be an actress. But she has a rival who can go to any extent to be at the top. And to defeat the female lead. The male lead on the other side who comes from the moon clan and is living for a 100 years already. He falls madly in love with the female lead but it is not as simple as it seems to be because it comes at a price. Can they get through all the difficulties and stay together?

Acting:-
Male lead is a likable character. He does everything he can to protect the female lead even if that poses as a threat to his life. He trusts her, protects her and loves her until the very end.

Female lead was an okayish character. I did not really liked her much in the beggining. But as we moved to the new eps, I could see her character development. And i quite liked it.

The secondary characters did a good job as well. Hated the SFL but loved the actress. The SML had a point as to why he did all that. But i guess he went a little bit too far.

Rewatch Value:-
Since this a short drama so i can come back and rewatch it again. Although, i generally dont rewatch dramas. So the rewatch value remains 6 out of 10.

Love at First Taste is a very good fantasy romantic comedy with a heart. This is a miniseries about the an alien and a terminally ill woman that fall in love and find themselves in an ill fated romance that leads them to make decisions and sacrifices to keep on living. It is a very good drama that, even if the romance develops fast and the leads face two antagonists, at the end of the day, love prevails and the series have a very suitable ending. Some acting is not the best but the leading couple did great bringing their characters to life and they have a very nice chemistry that makes this drama quite entertaining. Enjoy it!
