Doce é o Amor (2020)

Cute and Funny Couple

People say there is no friendly relationship between man and woman without love in it. That's what happened to Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai. For ten years, Yuan Shuai harbored feelings of love for Jiang Jun, even though they separated because of the situation. Ten years later, Jiang Jun entered the company where Yuan Shuai worked, and he got a second chance.

This drama is funny and fun. There isn't a single episode without me getting excited (and laughing a lot too) seeing the relationship between Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun, especially after episode 20, when the two of them were officially dating. Unfortunately, this happiness did not last long, because the main problem arose, namely Lin Taimo, the mastermind behind Jiang Jun's father's death.

Yuan Shuai looked annoying at first, but it was all for Jiang Jun's good, because he understood what challenges Jiang Jun had to face in that company. But Jiang Jun never gave up, and he was successful enough to stay in the company.

Du Lei, the second man, looked cute in the first half of the drama, but when he started planning to separate Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai, I started to lose sympathy for him.

I am not too interested in the story between Xu Li and Li Xiaochuan, their story seems to be covered in shadow because the main story between Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun is more interesting and adorable.

Effortlessly sizzling chemistry and class apart acting makes this drama very enjoyable!

So this is another rom-com which might give a sense of familiarity with other such dramas about office romance, domineering CEO etc. Many say storyline and plot are not that good. I too agree with the latter. It is a very normal day-to-day kind of story line...and probably that is why it is also so relatable.

I came to see this after completing TTEOTM and am so glad that I did. The acting is just at a completely another level. I have not seen such easy chemistry between lead actors since a long time. I mean LYX...why has this awesome and mind-blowing talent remained hidden...it is absolutely baffling because his acting skills are at a very high level, even beyond that of many top Chinese actors! I have not seen such micro-expressions and the directors taking so many close-up shots of an actor. It shows that the directors too trust LYX's acting abilities. And there is Bai Lu - perfect combo for LYX! She is too good, has such an easy chemistry with Luo and gives lovely expressions at times. Both are just beyond brilliant together!

The other parts of second couple, the second lead are okay. Love is Sweet completely belongs to LYX and Bai Lu. Even their kisses are so real, no awkwardness, very professional, and to die for.

The latter part of the drama drags a bit and does not have a lot to offer in terms of storyline, but the lead actors do not disappoint.

If you are fans of the lead actors, you will not be disappointed at all. Complete mood lifter this one!

I'm dying from the absolute cuteness in this show

I love love loveeeeeed the main couple, they had the most amazing chemistry and their story was really sweet to watch unfold, especially learning about their childhood together.

They had one of the most realistic and healthy relationships I've seen in one of these shows before. They challenged each other, argued but also loved each other when frustrated with each other. One of the most sweetest scenes was when Yuan Shuai made dinner and pretended to leave so that Jiang Jun could "sneakily" eat her fill of dinner when they were in a middle of a fight. He really just embraced her independence but also gave her support and help when she needed it.

There wasn't really an evil woman who had her sights on Yuan Shuai so you don't see any real cat fights so you never doubted Yuan Shuai's love for her. But the second male lead Du Lei had a pretty great character growth but it was lost for no real apparent reason in the last few episodes when he turned somewhat evil again. I really found that disappointing since I enjoyed seeing him grow as a character and wished they had someone else as the "final boss" for the storyline.

History and Chemistry

I may change the review depending on how this series goes. I like the ML since Ashes of Love he can really act well and the FL I've seen her before in other series like the world owes me a first love and I think she acts really well. BUT Riley Wang is just cute I have been following him since Attention Love.

The story is a typical drama trope childhood frenemies who separated. And the ML has feelings for the FL but the FL is oblivious. They meet again years later... But because od their past the FL has some prejudice against our ML but I find him sweet.

So far it's not boring and their chemistry is so good. Those finger hearts and sticker photos almost killed me. I kinda feel bad for the ML when they took that nostalgic photo and he pulled her hair but she doesn't remember it. I wonder howbshe would realize his feelings but we allsaw taht trailer right? I just can't wait for her to fall in love with him.

I like the extra scenes at the end like you see snippets of how their relationship was before they separated.

Can't say much about the 2nd couple not much screen time yet but seriously I won't consider working part time in a place just because of some perfect guy is a regular. Not now anyway. We have experienced one sided crushes but it makes me curious how their story will go.

The ost of this series is good.
As for rewatch value haha i have repeated it already from episode 1. Need I say more?

Love is Boring and Makes No Sense.

I don’t know if the FL gets better or not but for someone that’s supposedly smart, she is anything but. I can’t believe how many times the ML had to save her because of what she did. She is incredibly reckless and rash. She gets herself hired at a high stress job when she KNOWS she’s deathly allergic to tears, which makes no sense at all. ALSO, WHY DOESN’T SHE CARRY AN EPI PEN!.

I don’t get the hype of Bai Lu. There’s just something about her acting that screams - acting. I can never get into the story because it’s like she’s reading lines.

Chemistry Made-up

If you have watched the main actress in All her dramas like I do then you will understand she is a pro like the main guy who also starred in Ashes of Love. The chemistry pales in comparison with the kissing and chemistry in the The Legends (same actress). Their kissing is generic although better than most Chinese drama. It’s very clean and romantic. Overall, it’s a cute live story, but if you have watched many Koreans and Taiwanese drama, then the plot is not really a sizzler.

Pro:
- great acting but same old expressions from their old drama. Not bad although the main guy looks really lame. He looked okey in his other drama and he’s ok. Alright.
- some original plot but nothing unusual. Korean dramas also have the bathroom thrill, office love, etc.

Cons
- chemistry is so-so. Same old acting
-repetitive location.

Fun office rom-com, not as light as it seems on the surface.

This drama is really good so far. The casting is incredible. The leads have great chemistry and you can really feel the history there. The music fits well, although it does repeat the same songs fairly frequently.

One thing to note is there is a plotline involving sexual assault which took me by surprise. It is a plotline being handled very well at the point I am at, but I know some of the description in episode 8 may be problematic for some viewers. That said, I maintain my high rating and do recommend it as a fun romcom drama that goes a little deeper than most.

Paternalistic propaganda

First, an important disclaimer: I am a middle-aged male, and as a glance through my watchlist will show, I'm a hard-core Brony. I love me a good romcom. I don't mind the usual clichés and tropes if well-executed with clever writing and good acting, and can put up with a lot for the sake of credible chemistry and a sweet story. Which is why I tried hard to like this drama, because so many people raved about the beautiful chemistry. I didn't see any in the six episodes I survived.

What I saw was the sort of chauvinist propaganda that is very common in current PRC romcoms. It was clear after six episodes that the ML was deceiving and manipulating the FL because he knew best, and was doing it for her good. Barf! This toxic trope is one that I cannot stomach. It is possible to have sweet, even clichéd OTPs where the two are in fact equal. There are dramas in which the two are not equal but in which the male lead still avoids treating the female lead with condescension or manipulation. Two of my favourite examples would be Queen In Hyun's Man and Le Coup de Foudre.. Dramas like those show that it is possible to set up formulaic "cute" OTPs without paternalistic posturing. The smug assumption of superiority by every male character in this drama was just too much.

No doubt some who are fans of the drama may feel that I didn't give it a fair shot, but at my age, life is too short to waste on bad dramas. It's also too short too waste on bad on dramas that not only don't grab me quickly, but actively repel me - no matter how amazeballs some insist the OTP becomes. I gave this one a decent shot, watching 1/6 of the entire drama, but can't be bothered wading through more of its "men know best" motto.
