Amor Não Correspondido (2019)

STORY
I have never read this book or related to the drama. I am going to review 100% only based on this drama which is available on Netflix. First episode was really excited I thought myself "Finally! This is a story that I'm looking for" second episode...third.....fifth......final....wow i just want to say some questions "Why didn't the writer stick on two stories? why they needed to tangle all of them into one?" done. I am kinda disappointed with the story that they've built up the base beautifully and smoothly but ending up ruining those base with those tangled they've made.

I'm actually really amazed with the Luo Zhi's story which is i think most of us can relate it and if the writer can improved more in those story without any interference from others stories which is unnecessary to be told. I think this drama will be lit.

ACTING
I give 7/10 for Luo Zhi's acting...for the rest actor...I give it 5/10. I am wondering what if Luo Zhi and Han Shang Yan ( Go Go Squid) casted in this drama, I think the vibe will me more "lively" and visually great.
Luo Zhi’s emotions on the screen are captivatingly impressive and well-impacted for the audience. Actress Zhu Yan Man Zi does a sterling job in conveying her feelings without saying many words.

Rewatch Value
I dont think I have to rewatch this drama again

OVERALL
I enjoy Luo Zhi's acting when she is in the college with Sheng Huai Nan but I still need more the interaction between them in the drama not only Luo Zhi's with her cousins&friends. If only the focused on Luo Zhi's unrequited story, it would be emotionaly impact for the audience. Overall, If you are curious about the story then watch it without reading the review first. After that you can judge it by yourselves.

Really enjoyed the Story and Self Sacrificing FL

Story:
-The story was well written as this could be a possibility
-Like how it shows the human side of different characters and how they solve life issues & love situations
-The ending is so good and plausible. The ML and FL are so mature and giving which makes their relationship more relatable
-Like the humble ending, more realistic

Acting:
-Good acting but it was a bit hard to see the FL actor as a high school student
-The ex GF of the ML played her character well
-Both ML & FL were good throughout especially the ending


Overall: Would watch again and made me cry and think about self sacrifice, unselfishness, meekness, staying true even in the midst of false accusations and how long and arduous loving someone can be but so joyful too.

My first chinese drama, I'm so amazed, the story was so sweet and it made me remind of my young self, the characters are well made, the story is concise and short but lovable, I loved it cause I'm kinda tired of the same story about a poor girl and a rich man, there is nothing like that here.

I liked how all characters were important, the main female character was direct, rational and she was never naive or clumsy. The main male character was not the typical donjuan, he was sweet and caring.

To those who are hating, you have no heart tbh. Do you really know love if you dislike this? I don't think so.

A Must Watch Drama

Stumbled upon this Chinese drama on Netflix, wow I must say I am impressed with the female and male lead characters.
Again I don’t watch much of Chinese drama, but I do love Jane Austen and have watched most of them.
Both lead characters pulled it off pretty well and I do like seeing them as a couple in this drama, they have good chemistry and they look good together. Best scene is the play rehearsal, where she reads her lines passionately and the look he gives her… awww.. I love they way he looks at her. Worth your time… and worth rewatch indeed, in fact I’m doing it now..I am a fan of Chinese drama after this, love Zhu Yan Man Zi and Zhao Shun Ran. Hope to see more of them in Chinese dramas as couple of course, cross my fingers and toes…??

A bit hard to follow

I would give this series a better rating if it weren't so hard to follow. A lot of 30 second scenes and time skips that are super hard to follow. It got super confusing at times because you'd be in a flash back and then suddenly current time, a 30 second scene, then another time skip.

The story was very cute, but a very stereotypical plot. I did like however that the main lead was not an asshole, that troupe is very overdone, he was just a normal guy. It was a bit refreshing.

Overall, it's a cute series, but definitely not something I would watch over and over.

Frustration with moments of relief

What I liked:
-decided to give it a try because, for a C-drama, it was short at 24 episodes
-Luo Zhi liked Huainan for years, but quietly. She worked to stay in his world, following him, waiting for him to walk by. It was only slightly stalkerish in my eyes, because he had no clue.
-He actually liked her, not knowing it was her. I liked the attempts he made to find out who she was.
-I loved how they both kept re-visiting the window, the place where they'd actually spoken to one another.
-Watching the main couple, you could get a strong sense of the importance of bravery in relationships. What if she'd been brave and spoken to him years earlier? (This feeling is tempered by the number of things that I didn't like in the drama)
-Luo Zhi's friendship with her roommate BaiLi (BaiLi herself, for me, was another story entirely)
-Ming Rui. He was a good friend.
-The friendships between the male roommates.
-Happy ending for the couple, and happy ending for me that it was over.

However:
-Very poorly edited. The scenes switched randomly very quickly. Two people will be having a conversation, then it quickly moves to a scene of a lake or to a completely different conversation.
-Too many side stories filled with people that I didn't like. The secondary men in the secondary relationships were weak and ended up with women that they didn't love (because they deserved it?) Why couldn't they speak up for what they really wanted?
-BaiLi. Every time we saw her in the first few episodes she was sobbing. She was totally in love with someone, "I'm never getting over him," but then when some random guy shows up and pays her some attention she quickly moves on. Not to mention that the random guy is creepy and a liar, but whatever.
-Acting. I think the problem was more with the writing than the acting, but everyone spent a lot of time wandering around being miserable. I struggled with Luo Zhi and her being in love with Huainan in the earlier episodes, because once he started talking to her, she was mad all the time. What was that about?
-Too many women trying to break other couples up. Multiple women after Huainan, which, to be honest, I just didn't get. He was handsome and nice (not your typical cold ML), but he didn't have that much personality-wise. How many evil women do we need in one drama?
-Dubbing. Some of the secondary men had terrible voices and a number of women sounded the same. And WHY do they insist upon using the woman's voice that is high pitched, shrill and breathy?! With the advancement in AI, they should be able to get voices to sound better in these C-dramas.
-24 episodes and the main couple were together for literally one episode! Shorten the drama, remove all the extra couples, and let us get to truly know the main couple.
-lack of chemistry, mediocre kisses (he was trying harder than she was, that's for sure!). If there are going to be kisses in a drama, have a course called Kissing 101 and teach these actors how to make them look believable.
