The Drama Where Amnesia and Groveling Are a Love Language
Let’s talk about this drama—because clearly, it’s aiming for that coveted spot on the 2024 Best Chinese Drama list. Now, let me start by saying: amnesia tropes and hidden identities? Not my favorite. Honestly, it feels like we’re all just watching filler episodes waiting for that big reveal that could happen, but, you know... doesn’t. This drama? It has that issue in spades. The ML and FL both know each other’s identities, but instead of moving things along, they decide to just... not. I mean, why push the story forward when we could just sit on this secret for, like, 10 more episodes, right?
That said, the story itself unfolds beautifully, and I just wish we had more scenes between the ML and FL after they figured out who the other was. You know, give me more of that juicy interaction and less of the “let’s just stare meaningfully while withholding all our knowledge” game.
Now, full disclosure: I’m not usually a fan of too much angst or endless episodes where everyone is just trying to clear up a misunderstanding. But somehow, all that tension, chemistry, and romance? It actually worked! I was surprised. Every moment added layers to the relationship, even though, yes, I desperately wanted more episodes of them together without the whole 'let me beg for forgiveness' routine. Don’t get me wrong, watching the ML grovel was satisfying, but we could’ve fast-forwarded to the part where they’re actually happy together, just a little more, right?
Let’s also talk about that love triangle hint. To be honest, I was here just for Zhang Wan Yi (seriously, Lost You Forever? Still not over it). But the journey the poor guy went through to finally get the FL—whew, talk about a rollercoaster. The angst, the tension, the “will they, won’t they,” all of it kept me hooked. And let’s be real: the directors/authors really made him earn it. No easy wins here.
And then there’s the FL, played by Wang Chu Ran, who’s basically the star of the show for me. She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’ll make him grovel all over the place! Smart, not easily fooled, and a total queen, she absolutely nailed every scene. Now I’m officially on a mission to watch all her dramas.
