Amor Eterno (2020)

Romance e amizade fortalecidos com o tempo - História leve com umas pitadas de drama

É um romance que acompanha desde a juventude no ensino médio até a vida adulta, mostrando o desenvolvimento e amadurecimento de cada personagem. Também é uma história de amizade que enfrenta as adversidades juntos, apoiando uns aos outros.
Apesar de haver outros interessados nos personagens principais, não há abertura para triangulo amoroso pois uma vez que o casal principal fica junto, eles não se deixam abalar por pressões externas, buscando se desenvolver juntos. O casal secundário leva mais tempo para começar a se relacionar, mas é possível ver o amadurecimento deles até começarem a namorar.
Também é possível acompanhar um pouco dos personagens secundários, apesar da história deles não ser muito desenvolvida.

Um dos casais que mais me ganhou em 2020 e que acabou entrando em 2021 em grande estilo, roubando totalmente a cena.

Zheng Han é um cara muito independente e pobre. Dá pouca atenção para a vida escolar já que tem como objetivo ganhar dinheiro para a família. Para ele, a vida com os pais e o que aconteceu com eles no passado é muito mais importante do que qualquer outra coisa.

Temos a inteligente Li Xi, e ela é muito dona do próprio nariz. Porém, como representante da turma precisa ir atrás do aluno novo que nunca assiste às aulas. E é esse confronto que vai aproximá-los. Ambos tem uma impressão muito ruim no primeiro momento, e o Zheng Han afeta demais os dias da Li Xi.

O romance se constrói de um jeito bem bonito e a química cresce de um modo gigante, tornando assim impossível não shippar forte. Mas infelizmente, o casal se afasta por motivos que dão um bugue na cabeça, mas que depois fica bem explicado, fazendo o reencontro valer a pena.

A amizade entre Li Xi e a Xiao Man é maravilhosa. Eu amo quando há melhores amigas tão unidas nos dramas chineses. E a Xiao Man tem uma queda gigante pelo primo da Li Xi, Yi Chuan, um nerdzinho bem irritante. Porém, eu juro que ele melhora e por mais que dê zero atenção para a guria é recompensador vê-lo correndo atrás do tempo perdido.

Nosso casal principal precisa vencer vários obstáculos, sendo o principal, a mãe da Li Xi que é bem rígida. Esse fato progride bem, dando raiva em alguns momentos e em outros é bem engraçado quando o pai dela resolve ajudá-los.

Um fato bem interessante é que os primeiros episódios sempre começam com cenas do futuro no dia do casamento deles. Eu amo!! É muito real como os dramas chineses melhoraram muito em termos técnicos e de roteiro nesse último ano, e Forever Love é um reflexo disso. Apenas assistam!

***

Baseado no romance A Hundred Years Worth a Promise de Su Guang Tong. E se você precisa de uma único motivo para continuar lendo esse post, eu te dou um: Forever Love é sobre um romance saudável.

A vida de Xia Lin Xi é cheia de brilho, tem pais ótimos, vai muito bem na escola e ainda é a representante de turma. No entanto, Jiang Zheng Han não tem a mesma sorte. Ele é o aluno transferido que não tem interesse em assistir às aulas porque trabalha em vários empregos para conseguir ganhar mais dinheiro, e é com uma mentira que acaba sendo o tutor da Lin Xi.

Apesar dos dois não terem uma ótima primeira impressão um do outro, e se teve algo que me fez amar esse drama ainda mais é o relacionamento cão e gato que os personagens tem por um breve momento no início da história. Zheng Han não é um rapaz fácil de lidar, e dá muito trabalho para Lin Xi, que também não é a menina carismática da face da Terra. No entanto, isso não dura muito quando acabam ajudando um ao outro nos assuntos em que são fracos. A persistência e empatia da Lin Xi é o que salva Zheng Han muitas vezes de fazer a coisa errada, fazendo a interação de apenas amigos de classe progredir para verdadeiros amigos.

Mas nem tudo são flores, muito menos na ficção. Zheng Han tem problemas familiares sérios e isso afetará em muito sua perspectiva em relação ao futuro com Lin Xi. Eles sentem o amor pela primeira vez, que é doce e puro. É o tipo de amor que querem falar para o mundo, mas demora alguns episódios para que se torne real. Então, é só apenas na faculdade que os sentimentos se tornarão mais claros após alguns percalços.

E é aqui que vi mais uma vez como esse drama é saudável. Após algum tempo sem contato, quando se reecontram, Zheng Han pede para perseguir Lin Xi, ainda mais que ela está muito chateada e o questiona sobre tudo. SIM!! Ele pediu! E de forma alguma isso me soou estranho ou psicopata, pois é assim que os relacionamentos são na Ásia. E isso deixou meu coração tão quentinho. Um cara que não é oportunista e nem faz isso sem o consentimento, o que é muito fácil vermos em doramas e acharmos romântico.

Uma das coisas que pode te fisgar já no primeiro episódio é que a gente já sabe que há um final feliz, pois todos os começos de capítulos é baseado no dia do casamento deles. Ou seja, é a coisa mais fofa que eu já vi em um dorama. Então, acompanhamos a juventude à vida adulta, da escola ao local de trabalho, do uniforme escolar ao vestido de noivo, há um companheirismo para toda a vida. Um amadurecimento e realização de sonhos que incentivam a dar o melhor de si para o outro.

Em vários momentos vemos Zheng Han encarando o romance com Lin Xi, por mais que ainda não fosse público, como algo que ele valorizava, demonstrando repeito e confiança. E mesmo que precisassem esconder por causa dos pais de Lin Xi e do primo vazar informações, em nenhum momento nesse drama vemos traços de um relacionamento doentio, mesmo no início quando eles não são tão amigos e há animosidade entre eles.

Ao contrário de outros dramas românticos que os roteiristas provocam ciúme e mal-entendidos entre casais, este drama não implementa esses ditos clichês. E por mais que até haja alguns clichês como cenas em que mal-entendidos possam ocorrer ou que outras pessoas que gostassem deles com interesse romântico, o foco sempre foi o relacionamento saudável e os valores já citados acima.

Eu amo saber que "Forever Love" é um drama chinês cheio de profundidade se olharmos bem de perto e acompanhar toda a trajetória desse casal. Por mais que desde o primeiro episódio saibamos onde e como vai terminar, é muito gostoso acompanhar como os personagens mantiveram sua prórpria individualidade dentro do relacionamento, superando probelmas familiares, financeiros e questões de negócios/trabalho já na vida adulta.

Então, se você está procurando um drama onde há vários casais, e que a personagem feminina é inteligente e haja um relacionamento forte e saudável, Forever Love é para você. Além disso, há muito momentos divertidos entre os personagens, que me fez ver a grande química que os atores Wang An Yu e a Xiang Han Zhi tinha. Eles eram tão naturais que me questionei se estavam namorando enquanto filmavam.

Um ótimo drama sobre amadurecimento, vida adulta e tretas familiares.

Um romance leve

Esse foi um drama que eu comecei animada, desanimei e aí animei de novo.

A premissa é muito boa e apesar de ficar chato em alguns episódios lá pro início da vida deles na universidade, cumpre bem o que promete de mostrar a vida deles desde a escola até o casamento.

A melhor parte pra mim foi quando logo no inicio dos primeiros episódios a primeira cena era deles no casamento, relembrando a vida na escola. Senti falta disso nos outros episódios, mas nada que afetasse demais meu gosto pelo drama.

Os protagonistas foram bem desenvolvidos e foi ótimo ver eles crescendo e mantendo uma relação saudável.

Os personagens secundários me irritavam demais nesse drama, até quase no fim detestava quase todos, exceto pela XiaoMan, o HuaiWu e a Qiu Yan. Em alguns momentos eles poderiam ser bem melhor explorados mas tudo bem. A mãe dela é insuportável, eu entendo que ela quer o melhor pra filha, mas chegou a ser ridículo como ela queria forçar a filha a terminar ou a ficar com o secundário.

Demorei a gostar do casal secundário, mas quando o YiChuan finalmente amadureceu e deixou de ser um chato eu me peguei torcendo pra eles ficarem juntos logo. Eles tem um plot que eu até gosto, disso de um ser bem apaixonadinho e o outro ir percebendo aos poucos que gosta da pessoa, mas acho que pela chatice do YiChuan demorei a gostar deles juntos e de achar que ele merecesse ela.

Outro ponto que acho que pecaram foi em ter poucos episódios para o tempo da escola, apesar de entender que era pra mostrar os seis anos da vida deles, desde o ultimo ano na escola até o casamento, realmente achei que poderiam focar mais um pouquinho na vida escolar.

Os dois anos em que a protagonista passa estudando fora, mesmo que não tenham terminado o relacionamento foram tristes de ver, mas não foi a pior separação de cdrama que eu já vi então relevei, já que até serviu pra levar a mostrar como a empresa cresceu nos anos. O Jiang ZhengHan dizendo que se ela for por pressão da mãe, pra ela aceitar ele, ele não aceitaria, mas se fosse pelos próprios estudos ele apoiaria ela de bom grado me deixou feliz, mostra que ele realmente apoia ela em tudo.

No geral, o drama é muito bom e vale muito a pena assistir pelos protagonistas.

Everlasting Love

I started this drama with no expectation because it was a recommendation from YouTube and I decided to give it a try. Here I am being grateful that I found this gem, a drama with pure and innocent love everyone needs^^

STORY: The drama started with Xia Lin Xi a very bright and intelligent high school girl who was given the task to make sure all her classmates were on class,and that was when she met Jiang Zheng Han. Xia Lin Xi managed to make him come back to school and somehow Zheng Han became her tutor just to earn money but he ended falling for her. Later,something happened and Jiang Zheng Han had to leave with telling her about it and Xia Lin Xi thought he broke their promise and was heart broken.
A year passed by and both Jiang Zheng Han and Xia Lin Xi reunited in university and they both became a couple after so many pleas and confession from Jiang Zheng Han and that led to their Forever Love.

ACTING/CAST: Most important reason why I loved and enjoyed this drama was because of the characters acting,it was amazing they displayed and pulled off an amazing acting. Zhang Huai Wu( principal's son) acting was just great,whenever he was on screen I would laugh so much simply because he is so funny just like his father lol.
Jiang Zheng Han and Xia Lin Xi chemistry was great,their scenes were just so sweet and all the time Xia Lin Xi stood beside Zheng Han when he was a nobody despite her mother telling her to break up with him made my heart flutter. They're just the cutest^^
Chen Yu Chuan bragging about being the second best always was just so cute too lol.

The OST used is so beautiful,calming,relaxing and goes well with the scenes.

Overall I would say,this drama is definitely a must watch for those who love college dramas and those who don't too hehe
It's a light drama,just give it a try

One of the best School Life to Adulting China drama I've watched.

I really loved the 2 main leads together, their chemistry is really good.
One thing I really like about this drama is that both ML and FL are mature and there wasn't any misunderstandings caused by communication problems like in many dramas. They say what they needed to say and cleared up any unhappiness immediately when something happens. They stick together through thick and thin and never let anyone get between them.

The character development for the leads was also great. The FL comes from a well-off family and started off making a few snub comments regarding the ML spending all his time earning money instead of studying like what a student should be doing. But over time she came to understand ML's actions and also encouraged him to change him for the better. Great and natural interactions between them.

Its a pity they did not put much effort into the 2nd couple. Gu Xiao Man blindlessly continues to love Chen Yi Chuan without any reason, and even after being treated badly by him continuously until he finally realises his own feelings. They did not justify the reason behind their feelings and also there was no growth.
There is however growth in Chen Yi Chuan's character himself than his love line.

Overall I'm head over heels for the main leads and would definitely rewatch this again.

Beautiful drama (MUST READ MY REVIEW FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE DRAMA)

If you want a smart leads who go through every obstacle together without break up then this drama is for you.
The leads are smart in their own way, one is hardworking and other is genius. I loved their characters so much.
FL is not dumb, she is a very hardworking girl, down to earth and always stand up for herself and for the ones who is wronged. She is a brave girl. Before she met ML her life is prearranged, everything was arranged according to her mother but after she met ML she began to explore herself, she always does things that what she wanted to do, she knew what she wanted after she is close to ML. The actress is beautiful and her acting is on point. ML first shown as arrogant and con man but you will realise that the first impression on him is so wrong because he is very hardworking and responsible person. He is kind of a guy who is meant for leadership. He is kinda flirty, mischievous and has his own charisma, I even loved his hairstyle throughout the drama may be because the actor is so handsome and the acting is superb. At first in school days he was always misunderstood by everyone even though he is kind but after sometime FL is there to help him. ML is the person who doesn't care about future but because of FL he began to realise the importance of the future path. I loved how they influenced each other in the better way.
The storyline from high school days to wedding day is beautiful and realistic. They have their up and downs and faced many obstacles together and supported each other. Before they got together they kinda seperated but they resolved in 2 episodes but once they started dating they never break up , this is one of the reason why I really liked the story because I'm tired of watching dramas where leads are separated because of every single fight or misunderstanding but thankfully in this series there is none of that nonsense. Leads have great chemistry, full of fluff. Actually their love story doesn't felt forced because in some dramas you will be thinking why they suddenly started liking each other but in this drama you will feel why they attracted to each other and their love story does comes naturally. All actors did great job. Every character matured in their own way.
The storyline arc about 'start up' is very realistic because every business has there up and downs but in this story they had problems in business but they handled the pressure and issues very maturely. I loved whenever ML was at lowest point FL always there to support him and whenever ML is dispirited FL always handles him maturely and give correct encourage words to make him feel charged up. Both are very sensible persons. The friendship between the group is precious.
There was one thing which I really liked in this story is whenever FL wanted her private space then ML always gives her space, always respect her and her decisions and silently supports her, he is not a jerk or a possessive guy but a mature and real gentleman. They always communicate their problems.
In this show the leads always indirectly indicate that doraemon is ML and nobita is FL and at their confession scene (at ep 12) they have mentioned about doraemon and nobita, I had repeated that scene to understand what they actually meant and when I finally understood I found it is very heart touching and romantic.
Everyone should watch the series without high expectations then you will love the show, some people might find it boring but for me it is simple and beautiful drama and I loved the flow of the storyline.
Definitely didn't regret watching this series. Definitely re-watching it. It may not be perfect drama or best drama but this show is close to realistic and with better mature lead characters. Wish they had more episodes.

Light-hearted piece with a pure puppy love

This is a story about a couple from their teenage time all the way to grown-up working life.

A good choice for people that is looking for a simple and pure story. TBH there wasn't having very spectacular plots, but it was not too bad too! I personally enjoy the first half more which is the part of the high school campus life.

Despite being very young and new in acting, two main actor and actress got pretty good acting skills, with natural interactions and on-point chemistry, making it very enjoyable! Two of them are always together with one another in this drama (unlike other drama where they always argue, breakup etc), and I thought I was going to be bored with their dating story but apparently I don't! Maybe because the love between them are just so pure that you will not get enough with it :)

Nice pace, opening and chemistry

I like how this series starts with ML and FL wedding, with the start of each episode the wedding proceedings are played out. The pace and flow so far is great for this series. It keeps you hook on the series just to see how the wedding plays out and how the couple got to this point.

I was not that convinced with this pairing from the start, but the FL lead Xiang Han Zhi really played out her role of a perfect student well. This is the first project that I have seen her in but I was sold after 8 episodes. FL character is fiercely loyal and a brilliant student but with a tiger mom that is very focused on ML's school results only.

Wang An Yu has also grown in his projects till date and he looks great in this role too. I am a fan of his growth as an actor. In this series he plays a math/computer genius but with many personal issues after his family's factory closes, from financial burdens, moral burdens and even parent's health issues.

The ML and FL chemistry can really be felt from the wedding proceedings and how they look at each other. After the 8 beginning episodes, I feel that this will be a good couple pairing and is sold that they really care and grow with each other. ML really knows how to flirt with the FL very well and the FL responses well too. Its really sweet to watch the process and end the year 2020 with such a sweet series about promises (which are not meant to be broke). So in my opinion this is a better pairing than the currently running chinese drama of twisted fate of love and you complete me.

Episode 1-6 is when they are in high school, puppy love or infatuation stages, FL really starts to understand ML at this stage and ML opens up to her when he has shut out the world and was only focused on monetary gains.

Episode 7-12 is when they are at the same university, So it should be the pursue/ courtship stages. Episode 12 is when ML and FL confirm their relationship.

Episode 13-18 the development of their relationship and the side couple relationships

Episode 18 -28 onwards its just career, family and getting to the marriage stage

If there is one weakness in this series, I would say its the voice dubbing, especially the voice of yuan hao (FL neighbor that is interested in her), which is a pity because I had really liked this actor in the Romance of Hua Rong when he played a pirate captain.

Completed this series and the early stages of this series is the best in terms of romance, but as it went on, the love scenes became lesser and lesser, last deep kiss scene that i can recall is at the cinema. After that its just downhill and we dont even see a wedding kiss, which is a pity since the FL and ML had such great chemistry. The kissing scenes are there but was edited or removed as shown on this link https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXNC3vFHZV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Easygoing, sweet and simple.

I thought this would be a very typical school drama and would be boring but go my surprise I LOVED it!!! It was so sweet and I love that there weren’t any arguments between the main leads even though they encountered problems. It showed the ups and downs in life and was quite realistic. Another good thing was that they got together quite early in the drama to my surprise (not complaining). There was a love triangle but for some reason this time I didn’t get the second male lead syndrome!!! Maybe because he did a few bad things.
I like that it was the boy who was poor and the girl who was rich. We don’t always get such a storyline. These kind of dramas are always refreshing.
All the friends were amazing as well.
The main lead was so cute and it was my first time watching him act. I am a big fan of him now. The FL also did a good job. She was so understanding and supported him no matter what.
One thing I would suggest is that maybe they could have shown a little more of their happy times. Like the male lead became so successful at the end, they could have shown their life more when she returned from abroad. This is just my opinion.
Overall, it was FANTASTIC. I highly recommend this drama.

Main couple is the highlight!

This is a decently well executed high school/ uni romance drama, but the main couple scenes are definitely the highlight.

I love how the whole drama is sort of a flashback from their wedding (similar to Le Coup de Foudre). The overall plot in the end was decent and paced well, but nothing special. The main couple open up to each other quickly. They have different backgrounds, but they match up to each other very well. I love how the female lead is smart, strong and willing to speak up for herself. The main couple scenes are just too sweet, sometimes way too cheesy, but I still loved those. It is the first time seeing the main actor/actress, but they both did an excellent job. Especially the way the ML stares at the FL just melts the hearts of the viewers!

As a lot of people have already given it a 10/10, without much criticism, I will just list some not-so-good stuffs of this drama:
- last ~8 episodes story line was not really interesting to me
- introduction of way too many love triangles, but then never taking the time to develop any of them properly
- too many annoying side characters that I had to skip the scenes of
- the second couple is really boring, and the way their "relationship" developed makes absolutely no sense. They spent quite some time of this couple, while there were way more interesting characters (e.g. Duan Ning, Wen Yue) that deserved their character development time.

BEST SCHOOL CHINESE DRAMA

Worth my time watching.. realistic story of love, friendship, family as well as working environment. The leads match well with each other and whole cast. The storyline is so amazing.. A realistic view of a relationship that is mostly common in real life these days (unlike many dramas both rich characters), how they deal and overcome issues both in love, family and work. How he proved his love for her despite of his familu status. How she stayed by his side thru ups and down???

They are both rookie in showbusiness but they nailed it. Hope to watch more dramas of u two. I really love their chemistry.

Surely watch it over and over..❤️❤️❤️
