Começar de Novo (2020)

It hits different

I rarely write reviews for dramas since it takes me so much time to do so but this one is just too good to miss out on. I swear this one is my favorite chinese drama of all time and I have seen a lot. I’ve rewatched it four times and the emotions are still there every single time.

This drama may not be for everyone because of its tropes, but most of them are my top tropes so this drama is really for me. Although I get really bored easily, I never got bored of Begin Again. I also really really love the main couple, their chemistry and everything about them.

You should give this one a try.

GOOD BUT NOT ONE OF THE GREATS

Honestly, give this one a try! The chemistry is decent and the story is too!

Acting was so well done! I'm definitely going to keep watching the FL, Zhou Yu Tong, she was excellent.

But do be warned... the plot takes a dip around episode 25.

This drama had comedy, a sprinkle of drama, and a pretty even plot pace. I enjoyed the main couple and their story, but I definitely think it could've been altered so things didn't feel so "off" later on.

The second couple was also cute, but deserved more screen time! I hate when directors do that.

In terms of plot, I think they could've done better. It was strong until some drama occurred, and the reconciliation between the characters did not go as smooth as I thought it would. I didn't feel the chemistry come back 100%, if that makes sense. Looking at it chemistry wise, the FL was definitely awkward at first but she seemed to warm up as the drama continued. Other than that, their kid was adorable, and so were all of the scenes with him!

As I said in my headline, this one is good, but not one of the greats! Don't let its flaws keep you away ;)

Could've been better !! Would not recommend

I got this as a recommendation from my last post on Reddit. Honestly, I loved the first 20 episodes. We have strong fl for the 1st time and who is rich at the same time. Then calm, hot ml who is caring at the same time. Their chemistry was amazing. Both the lead actors acting was really appreciable. But...
First, there was that irritating second lead, but it did not matter to me much like he was okay. Then the childhood meet up which was also ok. But then all of sudden she leaves him for him to follow his dreams like WTF was that. And then the son grows without ml... Excuse me why writers you made it like this... Breaking up is not a solution to all problems. It's more than sitting together and resolving it. I lost my complete interest in it. And also so much screen space for second leads made me skip all the parts of it...Instead you can watch drama like.
Put your head on my shoulder or Love is Sweet.

Good for the first 10-15 episodes.

I didn't read the reviews for this one before going into it, should have. I just wanted to see Garvey Jin in another romantic drama but it was for the naught. His story only got interesting in the last couple of episodes that was the only good part about those episodes.

The story is so bad halfway through. Why can't these people talk things out? What's with keeping the baby from the father? Its not like he is going to be crappy father, the ML was a green flag and honestly would have been a much better father than the mother. As a role model for the child, she should have at least considered how her decisions would affect the baby but no. Once you find out you are pregnant, reach out to the fellow. Stop making decision for the guy, if he said he didn't want to be a father once he found out, then that's another story. But that was not this guy at all.

Just felt like wasted 9 hours watching this. Had to skip most of the scenes since they were not very impactful.

It is worth your time to watch this!!

I really enjoyed this drama especially because the female lead is a strong independent woman. I like that both the male lead and female lead were people who could stand on their own two feet. I really enjoyed their acting and the interactions it was so adorable, even all the supporting characters you can't get enough of! I really do recommend people watch this because I really loved it. It's a heartwarming romance, and the ending honestly I probably couldn't ask for anything more. PLEASE WATCH!!! You will enjoy it a lot. I know I actually laughed a lot watching this and had some parts where I teared up. So if a drama can play with your emotions, you know it's a good one. I hope people give this a chance~

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LEADS AND THE STORY!

TBH, i was not into cdramas before... I have only watched Love 020 and A Love so Beautiful in 2016 and 2017... then i have watched Go go Squid in 2019. Then last Nov 2020, i have stumbled upon a poster of a cdrama BEGIN AGAIN with list of episodes. I didn't hesitate to watch episode 1 and booom! i was into it. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LEADS AND THE STORY! I haven't watched the trailer nor read the plot. I just wanted to surprise myself of its story and it really surprised me. I thought it was just a typical contract marriage set up so I didn't expect the 6yrs later part. I was so in love with thia cdrama. That's the start of me being crazy with Cdramas. I have binge-watched more cdramas in 2021 until now than kdramas. hehe... And Begin Again is still my most fave cdramas ever. As of July 2022, it is my 4th time rewatching it. hehe Ling Rui and FangNing will always be part of my life. I think, out of all cdramas i have watched, I can only memorize few characters names of the leads... if i can remember their names, means that cdrama had a great impact to me. hehe I can also memorize what episodes are the important scenes and my favorite scenes here.

Buen drama

Sin dudas es un buen drama, los actores son muy buenos, especialmente la actriz protagonista la verdad se lucio mucho con su papel.
El drama tiene unos puntos muy fuertes, es que hay pocos conflictos/malentendidos, etc. (los justos diría para un drama), ni un clásico "archi enemigo" jaja, el cual no falta en casi ningún drama tocando los huevos toda la historia, igual que con los triángulos, no esta el clásico enamorado de uno de los protagonistas el cual esta el drama entero tocando los huevos y haciéndose la victima y maldades continuamente., Ni siquiera están los clásicos padres que se oponen a la relaciona como psicópatas.

Luego la calidad de los capítulos para mi gusto tiene una recaída en los capítulos intermedios del 17 al 27 (aprox), luego remonta bastante bien.

En resumen , es un buen drama, lo recomiendo.

great drama, loved the acting, actors, and personalities!

before i start with the review, i'm just gonna say that i mainly watched this drama because of gong jun lol

story: this drama had a very.. different romance story. usually it's dating and then marriage, but this drama is marriage and then dating. it might not make sense at first, but once you watch the drama, you'll understand! i usually hate hate hate straight romance dramas because i think they're always so cringey (i much prefer wuxia bl dramas), but this one was different. it wasn't cringey at all (although there were some areas where i just felt weird watching it). this drama isn't like high school romance, it's more like people in their 30s. the side romance stories are also so cute!

acting/cast: as i said, i watched this drama mainly because of gong jun, i think he's really good at acting and uh hes attractive lolol.. i didn't know the female lead actor at first, but i really liked how she portrayed the character lu wan ning.

music: i'm not a fan of romantic little songs, so i'm not one to ask abt the ost of this drama haha

rewatch value: eh i wouldn't rewatch it, just because it wasn't THAT good. it was a decent drama but not worth rewatching.

Just watch thus and you’ll never regret :3

It’s not a typical Ron-com story that includes boring and re used scene like- accidental kiss, timid female lead, arrogant male lead, disapproval of parents but a sweet contract marriage of a doctor with a strong female CEO!But what if they are forced to breakup -not by their parents but their own love toward each other?And for extra sweetness there is two more couples and be sure that Caí Siyu and Uncle Simon will melt your heart right away! What do you need If there is a cute,handsome and hot doctor treating you in your period pain?But wthere is even plot twist that will spin your head And YES!I woke up whole night and finished this masterpiece !

Cute, fluff, rofls, pain, pain, so much pain T_T

I'm always a fan of a rom com with some good angst in it and this really did the job for me. Gong Jun's character especially, he suffered so much and is such a beautiful human being, every time he was hurt I felt it in my soul x_x similarly can be said for the second female lead, she is such a pure soul even after how she was treated by the second male lead.

This drama is a must watch, there are moments that are annoying, makes no common sense and can be frustrating in the least but there are a lot of cute, fluffy and hilarious moments that will leave you grinning ear to ear. The female lead is badass and her character development is... interesting as she learns how to love. But a lot of choices she makes is impulsive and makes little sense, she is strong in facing her work problems but always runs away from her personal problems, and as a result, she causes the male lead a lot of suffering. There is sooo much angst in some parts of this drama, all I can say is paaaain but it is so worth watching T^T
