Wanted to post a China Drama Review in December last year but was too busy. I wrote small reviews for My Poseidon and The Night of the Comet at our page. I am unlikely to write long reviews for them. I guess the drama drought didnt affect me as much the past few months as I was too busy working haha. I think the last China Drama that I finished was Love and Redemption. Dropped quite a lot of modern China Dramas. China school dramas usually dont work out for me. My sister likes them haha not the recent ones though. Dramas that use compensation as the reason to get close/be good to the other party didnt work out for me. I found Go Ahead negative and would not have watched it until around ep 12 if my sister wasnt watching it. It would be refreshing if the siblings dont fall for one another. Dropped Perfect and Casual after some episodes due to lack of interesting plot development. My sister managed to finish it. Found Wei Zhe Ming good-looking since previous dramas but he somehow doesnt fit the professor role. Meeting you was interesting at the start due to it including Social Anxiety Disorder but it wasnt made good use of and the male lead with the disorder is already recovering from it. I see a few dramas with Hu Yi Tian as main lead but I didnt finish any drama with him as male lead yet. Scanned through some parts of Be With You, Legend of Fei, and Cambrian Period. Scanned through My Dear Lady when it was screening. Finished Korean Drama True Beauty after putting it aside for some time at the last few episodes. Will write about the kdramas I dropped if I write a kdrama review. Scanned through this drama some time ago, probably in 2019. Doing this mostly by memory. About Is Love 2018 大约是爱 starring Yan Xi as Wei Qing, Xu Xiao Nuo as Zhou Shi, Li Xin Bo as Bi Qiu Jing, Hu Wen Zhe as Li Ming Cheng, Cai Yi Jia as Ning Fei, Yang Xin Ying as Lin Fei Fei Scanned through this drama because of character Ning Fei. Happened to watch a video about the third/second last episode on Instagram and just watched the third/second last episode for fun. Liked the character Ning Fei then. After some time, my sister talks about watching a drama about a strong girl who the male lead can touch without being allergic. I realised that it is the same drama that I watched and watched some videos about the drama on YouTube after she mentioned it. After that, I decided to scan through it. Liked how the character Ning Fei’s actions are like a cat. He sleeps easily and is cute. Due to his past, he is afraid of being abandoned and erases his existence while living with other people. Liked how he is observant, even though the reason why he is observant is sad. Liked how he follows Zhou Shi and waits for Zhou Shi to return home when he lives at the place Zhou Shi, Qiu Jing, and Fei Fei lives in. Liked the scene that Zhou Shi falls backward into his shopping trolley due to him hitting her ladder at the start of the drama and he is shocked at first but later just pushes her to the cashier after putting more things on her. Never seen it happen in dramas before haha. Liked how he is arrogant. Liked the scene that Zhou Shi follows him into the library. Zhou Shi asks if he only turns up at school to hand in homework or take examinations and he says yes. Then, she asks if the director and professor will look for him and he asks who they are. She asks on what right he is so arrogant and he says that it is probably because he draws well. When Zhou Shi asks him what book he is searching for, the book he is looking for has such a long name. Liked how he is well-established in his career. Liked how he is rich. He is such a big spender. When he goes to the supermarket, he buys so many things. When Fei Fei says that the refrigerator is not big enough, he suggests buying a new refrigerator. When Fei Fei says that they cant carry so many things, he says that his card can buy a car. Then, Fei Fei asks since he is so rich, why doesnt he buy the supermarket. Seeing Ning Fei’s reaction, she says “You are not allowed to buy a supermarket, dont even think about it.” Found that scene cute. My sister didnt want Fei Fei to end up with Ning Fei due to her actions at the start of the drama. She pursues superficial things, takes credit for what Zhou Shi did, and accepts money from Ning Fei’s adoptive mother ? without wanting to have anything to do with Ning Fei. I felt neutral about it haha. It will take more than that for me to dislike a character. Liked how Fei Fei stands up for Zhou Shi and scolds Wei Qing when Zhou Shi is not being treated well by Wei Qing. Liked the development of relationship between Ning Fei and Fei Fei. Liked how Fei Fei takes care of Ning Fei later on in the drama and he sleeps with his head on her lap. Ning Fei is able to protect Fei Fei and her pride, even though he seems young. Liked the relationship between Zhou Shi and Ning Fei, from Ning Fei giving Zhou Shi paint, Zhou Shi saving him, Zhou Shi bringing him back home when he has nowhere to go, Ning Fei following Zhou Shi and looking out for her to Ning Fei revealing that he is her idol, Zhou Shi protecting his work etc. Liked the development of relationship between Zhou Shi and Wei Qing. Liked the chemistry between them. Liked the scene where Wei Qing helps Zhou Shi practise her confession towards Ming Cheng. Found it hilarious. Zhou Shi wears like the person Ming Cheng described as his ideal type in an interview I think conducted by Wei Qing ?. Later on, Wei Qing also wears like Ming Cheng so that she can immerse herself. It is funny how they put real feelings into the act, especially Wei Qing. Found her confession touching. Found the scene that Wei Qing is being chased by many ex-girlfriends ridiculously funny. They chase him round and round and Zhou Shi has to come and save him. Liked the friendship among Zhou Shi, Qiu Jing, and Fei Fei. Liked how they look out for one another, care for one another, and help one another. Found Ming Cheng good-looking haha. Liked the development of relationship between Ming Cheng and Qiu Jing. It is funny how Ming Cheng likes Qiu Jing. Zhou Shi doesnt even know that the person Ming Cheng described during the interview is her best friend and she wears like her and puts on glasses and a short hair wig to confess to Ming Cheng. Although it is a failed confession by Ming Cheng if I didnt remember wrongly, it is cool that Ming Cheng confesses by writing some formula on his shirt that only Qiu Jing will understand. When Ming Cheng is compared to Qiu Jing, another genius at studying, he seems small in comparison haha. Qiu Jing manages to help him to solve a big issue when he works at Wei Qing’s company. It is interesting and funny that Qiu Jing sings the periodic table song when they go for karaoke haha. Never heard of it before. She likes studying so much. It is funny how Qiu Jing and Ming Cheng like to play chess/weiqi ? together online and offline. It is funny how they see marriage as fun and game and a challenge to conquer. Wei Qing happens to walk by and is shocked to witness the marriage proposal by Ming Cheng at the third/second last episode. Felt that the proposal is too simple haha but it somehow suits them. Skipped some parts on Wei Qing and his family. Felt that Ning Fei’s insecurity is not needed. Wei Qing would have accepted him as family. It is sad that Wei Qing’s family is broken apart because the parents didnt deal properly with the situations and didnt trust their own son. At least his father still leaves the business for Wei Qing, knowing that he has talent in business management, even though Wei Qing does not have talent in art like his father. Glad that the stepbrothers work together later on. Wei Qing is a good businessman while Ning Fei is a good artist. I learnt that in creative industries, knowing business is important to protect you and your work and to help you earn a living. Click here for more China Drama reviews.
