Paixão Imprevista (2018)

This drama is the definition of a hot mess. Don't get me wrong I did enjoy watching it, however I'm not sure if that had anything to do with how good it was or if it was just out of the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

Obviously in dramas there are always going to be scenes or plots that are a little questionable, but this drama was so riddled with plot holes that I'm convinced it must be satire. You really need to take it all with a grain of salt otherwise you'll just pull apart every scene with reasons why it makes no sense and not be able to enjoy it. It felt like I was watching a children's cartoon come to life because it was just so absurd.

Also, every plot felt rushed. They would introduce a new problem, and then 30 seconds later it was solved and they were on to something else. Every single episode played out this way.... It was very strange.

I sound like I'm taking a dump on this drama but I'm really not, because all of these reasons that make it bad also strangely... Make it good? I can't imagine this being in anyone's top 5, but this drama is a wild ride and definitely worth the watch.

If the scale allowed me to rate dramas in negative, I would. Worst drama ever. I swear. The protagonists were sooooo annoying and the fight scenes were horrible. My 10 year old nephew can do better fight scenes than that.
I understand that you wanted to portray the lead female as a fun bubbly girl but she just came out as plain annoying and silly. Girls are not like that (thankfully) and if they were, they would be admitted to mental asylums.
Oh wait. I am not even exaggerating. In one scene we see that Situ Feng's manager asks her to meet him. They were not close and it was there second meet probably. What Qing qing does is, she goes to meet him, sees him, jumps a bit for some reason and slaps him on the back. Who greets people like that? The best part about a good drama is being able to relate with the emotions of the characters.
The story was not bad but the execution was a disaster. There was nothing natural about the drama it was just a lot of F grade overacting.
I watched A love so beautiful and then this. My mood came crashing down so bad. Ughhh disappointed.

I really love this drama. I love how this drama is quirky, funny, enjoyable, light and so much fun to watch. There's no single episode that I get bored. I really love Si Tu Feng and Chen Qing Qing: their character development and innocence.

The plot is not something really extravagant. It's simple,light and cute, but not that childish.

I love the songs in this drama.

Honestly, I cant think of anything I hate or dislike in this drama. I cant suggest anything that will make this drama better. Eventhough it can be finish in lesser episode, it's not dragging and still wish to watch it more.

I will surely miss drama.. This is such my daily dose of happy pill.. One of my fave drama to date.

After the disappointment of Please Love Me, the first 12-14 episodes of this Drama were a refreshing change. A VERY cute otp, and a sweet arc. I did wonder how they were going to fill 30 episodes, and sadly, they did it in the worst possible way.

Taking a leaf out of Taiwan's love of makjang filler episodes for romcoms, this one threw in everything to keep the otp apart and drag out the episode count. The whole "I'll marry her so that she doesn't make her quietus" story was head-desking material of the worst sort.

About the only thing the final third got right was reverting Chen Qing Qing to her freckled "disguise". I found her SERIOUSLY attractive in that look, distractingly so, and very much more so than the more generic look of her "real" self. because the OTP were good together, because they had the cute version end up as the real version and because the curly-haired freckled Ms Sun was rivetingly easy to look at, I was kind and gave this 5.

Only good as a filler series in 2020

Having watched this in 2021, the overacting from the FL is obvious. Likewise average support cast doesnt help. The one that shines is perhaps the ML in this series.

The plot is loose and full of loopholes and clichés. From episode 26 when ML is forced to leave FL and get engaged with 2FL just because 2FL commit suicide is a little extreme for such a light hearted drama. Especially when in episode 25 ML just confessed his relationship with FL. Only to have FL buy alot of ML's album for a 5 secs handshake and to appear at the engagement of ML and 2FL. Yup that will stop the 2FL's suicidal attempts surely lol.

Overall this series is only good as a filler series running in the background. However the Singer character that ML plays is at least convincing with decent OST.

I was looking for something to watch on Netflix and I always look for trending shows when I've stumbled upon this drama. When I first started it, I was clueless about the drama. It was your typical, cliche, romcom and school drama. The story was unrealistic and predictable. Honestly, I even wanted to drop it off around the first few episodes because I kinda felt off. The characters at first were a bit too much. I like lighthearted and fun dramas, so when I've read the reviews about this drama, I decided to give it a chance.

It was a love-hate relationship for me and the drama. There were so many plot holes. I was super skeptical thinking if I am just wasting my Netflix subscription or it is something worthwhile. But when I've reached the middle, the hate (from love-hate) is slowly disappearing. I'm becoming to love it! I used to only look for the flaws the first few episodes but when I've been into it I'm starting to disregard it and see how charming it is. The character and the story development was seen.

The chemistry of the leads were so good! They freaking look so good together! I can't help to squeal because they were so fluttering! I also love Chen Quing Quing's strong personality. I dig strong woman. I hate dramas wherein they always make the female lead damsel in distress. Who said girls can't stand up strong?

Adding the side casts, they were also good. I liked Nan Xi, Fang Fang. Yi Yang and Mu Nian. The actress also did a great job portraying Xin Ya. I just didn't like the typical bestfriends falling for the same girl and a second lead mean girl. It was so cliche, but as I've mentioned, the whole story was cliche so it didn't matter.

All the music was so nice. Our boy, Situ Feng really sings well. I wish there's a Spotify playlist for this drama because they were captivating.

All in all, if you're looking for something to watch to have fun I would literally suggest this one.

Despite the title, this is really a comedy with some romance and not a balanced rom-com.

It’s super cute due to th adorable lead female (who was also so cute in The Eternal Love). She’s funny and cute without all the cutesy cliches that other actresses use so this is refreshing. The entire series rests on her and she carries it off.

In fact, her character is more of an alpha than the leading man which leads to some fun situations and school musical. It’s great that he’s totally fine with it and let’s her be her. The actor may not be a believable idol, but he’s adequate against her winsome character.

So if you’re looking for a big romance, this isn’t it. If you want a fluffy comedy, then this is cute.

I'm freaking love this drama and ofcourse the actor fiction guo.. the drama was cute and light.. highly recommend for those love romance, light and cute story... the plot is very interesting and easy to followneven somehow many part don't make any sense.. and the most thing i love in this drama is definetly the couple.. the female lead is very good actress, she can bring two different personality but for male, he seem awkward (?) in my opinion.. yeah just certain scene... the OST for this drama also good and catchy... i would watch this again and again if i have time..

I like this drama a lot. It has everything I'm looking for in a drama at least 1 good looking actor (it got several actually), good chemistry between the leads, very nice OST (SiTu Feng can really sing) and a good story (well as far as 19 episodes are concern it's pretty smooth). This one is very light and fun to watch. It has some drama but not much. The comedy part is really nice. The interaction between the couple is good. I love the songs. It's not boring, I just wish I can binge watch it but since it's still ongoing I'm not able to. You won't regret watching this. Highly recommended. I watched a lot of dramas before, pretty new to chinese drama, it's great.

Netflix picked it up and reviews here were decent so I thought maybe it might actually be good despite not having any big actors. Nope. Compared to other Chinese youth dramas like A Love So Beautiful and Rush to the Dead Summer, this was so plot hole ridden and 98% of the characters were annoying in a bad way (including the main character) with little in the ways of character development. If you're a usual watcher of Cdramas, skip this one. This might be good if you're used to more flippant characters like those seen in some Korean youth dramas (ya know, the one dimensional, secondary characters used to push plot in a 16 ep show) but not a great show by any means.

Very light hearted Chinese drama with plenty of comedy. Most of the time, it's very sweet and fun, but also has some drama. It's just not as heavy as in other series. The "sweet" scenes, however, pack quite a punch. I think this is mostly due to both the cinematography and the score.

The soundtrack is great. The male lead is a pop idol, so he sings a lot. He has a great voice and all songs have a great composition and a pleasant melody. My favorite of the bunch is STAR, which is used in some of the best scenes.

As stated before, the cinematography is pretty good for a drama series. It's a step above most, at least. There's a particular scene which I enjoyed a lot that comes at the end of episode 27. You'll know why when you watch it.

Finally, the acting is the weakest part of the series; but that doesn't mean it's bad. Both Guo Fiction (Si Tu Feng) and Sun Yi Ning (Chen Qing Qing) mostly do a good job. Guo Fiction might feel awkward at times, but sort of fits his character. Sun Yi Ning is excellent as both Qing Qing and Qing Chen (Who are actually the same person but behave differently. No, this is not a spoiler). The supporting is decent. Only Ma Li (Gu Nan Xi) stands out, but that's mostly because he's pretty much a secondary lead.

If you're in the mood for watching a light hearted drama series with high production values, I kindly suggest you watch Accidentally in Love. It's definitely worth a watch. For some reason, finding a complete (and decent) subbed version on the Internet is hard despite it being on Netflix. I suggest you just watch it there for a better experience.
