O Amor é Intenso (2020)

Light Hearted Drama

So I was confused to whether watch this drama or not as I saw some people were saying that this drama is little bit overrated and not so good the actress is cringy. But still because of Ding Yu Xi(ML) I gave it a shot.
This drama is really good it's like a fairy tale where you'll not believe that this cannot happen irl. There are super cheesy and sweet scenes btw the leads. Their chem is too good
At starting you'll probably not like the FL but as the stry goes after the 3rd ep she changes and you'll start liking her . The second leads stry is so good you are really going to like the male second lead he is too funny and cute.
As I am a fan of Ding Yu Xi I just hoped that his voice should not have been dubbed. Otherwise this is a good drama?

CP fluff; Paper thin plot

The actors carried the drama. The 2 Yuxis..Ding Yu Xi and Zhang Yu Xi made it possible to stay and finish the drama.

FL fell in love at first sight and you actually feel second hand embarassment for her due to her rather direct confession and pursue of ML. ML somehow falls in love later.. and this is the part where i find the writing rather lazy.. i would have like it to be a more emotional approach rather than a physical one.

The plot is a little anti climatic for most episodes but not exactly slice of life either. We did get some character development for FL and her career. Bonus that the leads only have the hots for each other.

Theres that annoying younger sister that was annoying for many episodes until she stop being one n become kinda cute. There were some sweet scenes and fan service sort of CP moments. Ding Yu Xi has really attractive eyes and good with eye acting. He puts that to very good use here.

But unlike the drama name, it failed in reaching an intense kind of love for me. It was enjoyable, nothing less, nothing more.

Intense Love is Not Quite So Intense

If you're looking for a sweet romance that won't take up too much of your time, this is the one to see. At only 24 episodes, it's not a deep storyline, but on the surface, the lead actors are capable and adorable. I'm a new fan of (Ryan) Ding Yu Xi, (after watching him and Zhao Lu Si in the cute rom-com The Romance of Tiger and Rose) and he didn't disappoint. He plays cool, calm and collected very well here, except when he's not portraying aloof. His face is quite expressive.(I just love the way he gazes/glares!!) He plays an "intense" genius of a doctor (cardio-thoracic surgeon anyone?) who falls in love with with a pretty actress, played by Zhang Yu Xi. She was silly and over-the-top for me and I found her a bit cloying at first, to be honest. The other side characters were a welcome reprieve from her silliness. Once the pre-determined marriage was remembered by them both, (is this still a thing in China?) the romance began! They do have some chemistry though, and there's plenty of kissing and body language. All in all, a great way to spend a few evenings to binge watch.

honestly, this drama gave me all the feels! the two main leads have breathtaking chemistry! the acting is flawless! it almost seems like you're watching a real love story but only filmed! (haha!) plus, you can obviously tell that they get along off set as well.

on the other hand, it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to dramas that deal with romance because i do expect a lot from both the leading roles and the way they connect but with this one, i fell in love! i'm truly hooked! i would 100% recommend this to anyone who normally watches romantic dramas. you won't regret it! this is the first time i left a review on here so i hope i can help some of you who isn't sure about watching this!
(ps, the ost that comes from this drama is impressive! :})

Fluffy and Simple

I was surprised by this drama and how tooth achingly sweet it was. I have watched and enjoyed many projects with the ML actor so I decided to check it out and was very glad I did. The story is very straightforward and simple and what stands out is the chemistry and relationship between the leads. They develop a very good relationship free of a lot of the problematic or down right annoying cliches sometimes seen in dramas. The secondary couple also has very good chemistry and I never skipped their scenes. The reason I made it an 8/10 is only because I felt the plot could've been more interesting and still would've been just as sweet. I recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy and romcom without too much drama or miscommunication.

SIMPLE, STRAIGHT FORWARD, LIGHT HEARTED

this is a drama where u’ll fall in love with the leads every time even if theyre in disagreement. The girl is cute, she acts flirty but thats just her being humorous & playful. She is kind hearted but not Naive or stupid. She knows what she wants although she can be in denial she’s also uses her heart & goes for it. She has way & charm with people.And Zhou Baobei (lol), even though he knows that BeiBei is tricking him, he just play along with her. This drama is refreshing & relaxing. No poor story, no overbearing in-laws. When i started watching & found out he’s a doctor & she’s an actress, i was celebrating. At least thats one overused plot i dont need to recycle. it started off as the usual arranged marriage but luckily they met on ep 2 & got attracted with each other. That made this drama more realistic for me. Their physical attraction towards each other. No fighting or accidental accidents (lols) just for them to get tangled, just her pursuing him. Then they just dated. Him taking care of her. And so on. Very fast paced. One of the few drama i wished they drag the romance a lil. I started watchin in youtube only to find out its not yet completely subbed so i was kinda forced to buy a vip pass in mgtv. With less than an hour of ep , u can binge watch this in 2-3days. Still have 2 ep to go but yeah.. Drama also shows that a Grand wedding ceremony aint really needed or at least it can wait, as long couples love each other & is happy. How i wish every country can be like china or any east asia that allows just registry of marriage & you'll be fine. No other dandy. Side characters are cool too esp his doctor friend dating her manager & his sister dating her ex admirer. In between, i also watch their bts & id be grinning the whOle time. Rewatching drama series for is a waste of time because there’s a lot out there, but surely this is among the good ones

Enjoy the sweetness!

This was just a very sweet drama overall! The main leads killed it in my opinion - I love how they were with each other and you really end up believing in their relationship. Storywise, it was good! If you're looking for a drama with little to no conflict then this drama is for you. I felt that it also showed a nice progression with their relationship. The two leads were engaged at birth by their moms who were best friends. However, both never really took the engagement seriously. A twist of fate had our female lead meeting the male lead and the story really kicks off from there. I won't say much more since it was a fun ride.

Enjoy it for the fluff for it will surely leave a smile on your face!

All I want to say about this drama is super fun! This drama is very entertaining from the beginning until ending, especially in this time when we have to stay at home everyday.
The female lead acting is very great and passionate! I always laughed because of the female lead actions, and I swear you will not get bored because of her actions.

I always love the female lead (Zhang Yu ZI) acting after watched her previous drama (My little princess and Dear Prince). And for the male lead (Ryan Ding), he is really awesome and very suitable for this role cold but very warm to her and very handsome. This plot is rather simple, a love story between celebrity and a doctor because of arranged marriage from their parents. Not like the typical overbearing CEO drama who loves a poor girl, this is the girl who first chased the male lead - so it's very humorous and exciting.

For the second male and female lead, which are the other doctor and female lead's manager , I also enjoyed the love story between them - pure, funny, and not cheesy. Not to forget the male lead's little sister, her story also very lovable.
Overall, I really enjoyed this drama from the beginning and only spent 3 days watched this because it is so good and light drama without dramatic events and unnecessary problems.

Lighthearted. Characters aren't easily swayed like cliches. Rom-Com guilty pleasure. Fluffy.

Story: This drama does not have the most groundshaking plot nor is it the most suspenseful. But I thoroughly enjoy watching every moment of it. I admit I am a bit of a sucker for most dramas where the girl is straight to the point and the actively aggressive one in the relationship. It was also beautiful to see that the opposing party doesn't make it easy either. It cuts to the chase very quickly and what you end up with is a lot of heart-throb moments early on.

Characters: The main leads have great chemistry. The female lead really makes you fall in love with her confidence and thoughtfulness. Comparing her to her other dramas personally I feel like she really nailed the role. You know a character did a great job when the ending of the drama leaves you wanting more like a great relationship cut short. The male lead gives you the same feeling of shipping the couple all the way past the series's finale. The male lead is a very good complement to the female, with his lack of expression with a sense of professionalism. I am not ashamed to say I have a crush on both of them after this.
