Estar Com Você (2020)

cliché and tropey but so sweet!

This is actually my second time watching the drama within one month, I just never wrote a review when I finished it last month whoops.

This drama is very cliché and tropey and sometimes a little cringe but it does all these things in such a charming way that I couldn't be mad. I just love love love it so much, I actually changed my initial rating of 6 to 7.5/10. The characters and their interactions as well as the pacing of the show are just so fun that it's easy to watch it all in one go. I really loved the dynamic between the male lead and female lead and I absolutely adored how he obviously has a weak spot just for her while being distant and cold with the rest of the world basically hehe. Ji Yan Xin was a lil petty sometimes and a bit of a tease (and sometimes slightly a red flag, but he'll be excused and forgiven), I just loved Ji Xiao Bing's acting for this character! This rewatch was extra fun because I started it after not feeling so well, and this drama lifted me up so much just minutes into the first episode!! So that's very slay!

I surprisingly also really enjoyed the second couple a lot, their push and pull dynamic was fun to watch and I really liked how well they mastered the enemies to lovers trope to be honest. Even the third couple was cute, I'll just ignore the fact that they've known each other for a long time lmao (since she was a kid and he was already a teen).

I also really liked the OST, it was really cute and fit very well into the drama. Overall, a sweet and entertaining watch with charming leads and secondary characters :))

An easy forgettable watch

First and foremost, shoutout to Qibao, the golden retriever! He outshone the Male Lead in all their scenes together... a much better actor by a mile...
What makes this drama refreshing is the female lead's character. She was adorably blunt and true to herself ... no miscommunication from her end whatsoever! As emotionally constipated the male lead got, the more she expressed her feelings to him... She was empowering to say the least...
The male lead however leaves a lot to be desired. The actor was too stiff to start with...not a single micro expression in his bland face! And 90% of the time, he doesn't make any eye contact with the FL... he just stares straight ahead while talking to her... and because of this I never felt their chemistry ...
Quite surprisingly, I did not speed up the 2nd and third couples scenes... Their characters were all interesting enough for me to want to know where they are headed...
Overall, it was entertaining enough, no unecessary angst, an easy watch.. A good choice to watch while multitasking on a lazy weekend. But one of those dramas you forget about in a couple of days.

Too many unfinished scenes

Too many unfinished scenes and no make sense scene, such as:
1. No explanation about JYX sleep disorder. Is he already ok? How it can be?
2. Li Yin relationship with JYX. After Qi Nian saw they hugged, no more story about Li Yin.
3. Qi Nian - Si Qi house that bought by JYX and the owner ask them to move out, but until the end of story, Si Qi and her girlfriend still stay at that house.
4. How about Quancheng restoration project? There's no scene to explain what male lead do, only sit in the office.
4. JYX mom said that she will be married and they have step-father, but in fact that is their biological father.

I have finished watching this drama. I found it very meaningful and very loving. This drama is very much i will repeat to watch...i love the cool and bossy act of main actor. The main actor is so handsome. This drama very much showing how pure a love can be. The love moment where it will normally happen during the University life. Having handsome and yet available professor or handsome colleagues or even a good looking architect. I have been following this main actor drama previously. But this time he was the main actor, i very much love it. Just that the drama very less nice songs. This drama use the place for acting is nice.

Red String of Fate?

These two leads could not be further opposites, yet the fit together like a mortise and tenon puzzle box. He is stoic while she is a loyal and frisky puppy. Speaking of puppies, one might think Prof. Ji's faithful pooch had a paw in making their love connection. Baby Qi (Qi Nian's psuedonym) meets Qi Boa after he decided to take himself for a walk. For Qi Boa it was love at first bite, after the scene stealer snags a piece of Baby Qi's beef jerky. He returns the favor by dragging her to meet his Dad, Prof Ji. He is just the slice of yummy inspiration she was looking for, a prototype that will save her career as a manhua creator.

Completely ignorant about romantic relationships, Qi Nian is very straight forward about her personal interests in Ji Yanxin, but evasive about her professional ones. She sticks to him like a barnacle on his butt, becoming his TA, even though she is not a student at the university and doing everything she can to imprint her name and very essences into his mind.

Fate is a funny thing, as it turns out Qi Nian's mysterious "female," previously unmet roommate is in reality Ji Yanxin's didi, Ji Siqi, an unpublished manhua artist, and the biggest fan of Baby Qi's stolen original work. He complicates the budding relationship between the leads, having become infatuated with her after she validates his dream of becoming a professional manhua artist and hires him as her assistant. Having been estranged for years, Ji Yanxin would do anything for his didi except give up the girl he has fallen for. Competition for Qi Nian complicates their reconciliation.

This drama is filled with many sweet moments and sweet flashbacks, the sweetest is in the last few minutes of the last episode. We discover our leads fate was set in motion maybe ten years prior to when Qi Boa introduces his new mom to his dad. Ji Yanxin meets Qi Nian's dad at an ancient temple where her dad give Ji Yanxin her love plaque that girls leave when when wishing for marriage. He leaves with her plaque, which he keeps as a keepsake of his visit and walks by his future bride as she rushes to show her dad a sketch of Ji Yanxin, her first prototype, likely was the hero of her first manhua, the one that would be stolen from her.

Cute! Cute! Cute!

I just loved this drama!!! This was so cute... I loved the main couple and I loved the second lead couple. The female lead was really beautiful and the Love Triangle was really awesome. I didn't really liked the second female lead but with time I started to love her so much. I think the second lead couple had an amazing chemistry and I really enjoyed watching their scenes together. This was my first chinese drama and I think I liked this more than I expected. Now I'm always watching chineses dramas but I don't think any of them can be compered to this drama. If you like chinese drama, WATCH THIS!!!

Unpopular Opinion.

Am I the only now who didnt really like the main couple? Haha, honestly I love the second couple so much more. The third couple were cute too. Personally I feel the show lacked in completely showing the entire relationship of the first and second couple. I will not mention anything of the third couple only because from the beginning the focus on their relation ship had been the least and it continues throughout. However, thats the the case for the other two.

Speaking about the first couple, there was no process of why they fell in love with each other. Sure, the FL fell in love at first sight which is the case in many dramas but is always followed by incidents that make the love grow fonder but not in this show. Same with the ML, I understand a sense of attraction when she puts in effort to make him remember her name but issue of him forgetting names is lost and becomes irrelevant soon after. Moreover, I just personally found their relationship boring. On the other hand the second couple was my favourite. Their relation started off with the female character taking care of the male which was cute slowly by the end the roles reverse. It was nice to see both of them protecting each other. However, the script writer did not spare any time for the male character to get over his unrequited love and to actually fall in love with the female character making it sort of feel like a rebound though im sure the writer didnt intend to.

Personally I felt that I would love this show if the second couple were the star of the show but with a little reworking on their relationship.

The story is good and quite interesting. But several times I have to speed up when watching it. The Female Lead has been very good at playing her role, it's just that the Male Lead in my opinion is not very good.

The Male Lead's acting is too stiff. So the chemistry between him and the Female Lead is not that great. Even though the Female Lead is quite good and funny.

Besides, there were too many forced kissing scenes. I'm sorry I'm being such a conservative. I think the forced kiss scenes don't make a story romantic but cringe. The Male Lead seems to force himself to look cool, fierce, and also firm.

The story is quite unique. I like the supporting characters. I like the love story of Ji Qiu and Shou Zui, it's more adorable. Even though almost all the love stories in this drama are between couples who have a big age gap, I don't mind. Because the characters are described as being old enough and mature.

Fun, simple love story filled with romance

This series is for those who would enjoy a fun romance without a lot of drama, with a simple flowing story line and beautiful actors and actresses.

I loved this series for the above reasons. It was not draining emotionally, and it made me bubble over with joy and some instances were funny. I love how they portray the lady having to pursue the man, her dedication at this and not being embarrassed at all, after-all, she had a motive. I also love that it had a couple of kissing scenes, and not just one as seen in other series.

I enjoyed this one and I would watch it again. :)

Cute show

I have seen a lot of these types of shows lately. Call me a cheesy 40+ yr old but I never get tired of them. I watched Hallmark shows for years with my hubby. Now I watch these I think because there is a lot of story to them and not just one couples story but 2 or more. They also have a few hidden moments you don’t expect. That is the reason why I like them... oh! And the romance lol. So now for the show...

Story... was a well written and executed story. I liked it a lot. Not a ton of the love triangle. And not any really nasty people you want to kill😂. Just a clean smooth love story. If I could buy the book I would and read it over and over again.

Acting... spot on. Loved each of the actors/actresses. They did a great job. Played there parts and executed them well.

Music... I hate to say this but I have almost 500 MP3’s of music from Kdramas and Cdramas. And this one (if Amazon has it) I would get so I could listen to it over and over.

Rewatch? Yep! Sure would. This is one of me favorites. Like I said... it is smooth and clean. Does not give me anxiety because of hateful wicked Moms or ex’s. Just make me happy. 😉
