Crush (2021)

It had me kneel

If you here looking for comments to motivate you watch the series, here I am.
It's definitely one of the sweetest , softest , pure, honey like slowburn romance, I'm enjoying this year. I tend to avoid plot like this bt the teaser and poster did a perfect job to lure me in and here as you can see they succeeded. Tbh I have a huge crush on the series, the cast ,music and the plot everything is perfect , it's not hurried nor slow it's just on point. Actors have done wonderful job ,it's not easy to act blind when u can clearly see things , the expression of both wangLeng & Evan Lin are worth appreciation. The little details , subtle emotions ,you gonna see the slight changes in their expression which will leave you soft. The ost is superb ( I personally like the band ost, u'll knw once you hear that) .
I'm not a type to leave a commnet here bt that explains how deep and insane I am for it.
It's deff a go , if you're taking abreak from thriller and mystery drama, even if u're not .

Perfect .

Strong Start, Disappointing End

NO SPOILERS! This is my second ever series review, sorry if it's all over the place!

MY OPINION:
This drama fell down my rating scale very quickly. I'm seeing a pattern with the Chinese dramas I watch and that is that they always start off super strong and end off super weak that I can't even finish it. I loved the first half of this drama. I sat and binged the first half to the point where I couldn't remove myself from the couch from the morning to late at night. Then it got to around episode 20 where I couldn't bring myself to watch it anymore. There are so many plot holes, undeveloped characters/plotlines, stale characters that felt like filler, negative character development, and forgotten important messages. However, these issues were not present in the beginning, they were shown towards the ending half. This made it unbearable to watch. I absolutely adored this drama at first and now I'm sad to drop it cause I can't bring myself to continue this mess.

DIRECTING STYLE:
Some scenes were very well done. However, I feel as if there was a lot of hiccups. So many things left me in questions to the point I was looking in the reviews for answers as I felt like I missed something. Or things would be so poorly explained that I would be left confused. At parts, I wished they showed more instead of telling. Within the side couple, I wished they showed more instead of telling. Some parts I would think to myself, "why didn't they show more of this instead of a quick montage or flashback to something we have no prior knowledge of."

ACTING:
I always find C-Drama acting to be very hit or miss. But in this case I really enjoyed it. I don't think these characters were voiced dubbed by someone else. If they were, I couldn't tell unlike in other C-Dramas. I thought the male lead acted very well and I found the female lead character to be pretty well done. The side couple, I didn't like them at all but their story was so weak, so I don't blame the actors for working with a weak storyline and uninteresting characters

TLDR:
Watch the first half and then drop it. Or honestly just skip this drama overall. Nothing was groundbreaking since their initial message of the drama was lost as it continued.

Best C Drama minus NC scenes

One of the best Chinese dramas I have ever watched. The chemistry between the actors is off the charts. Plot is out of the world! The best part: The leads' chemistry and love is so pure minus any intimate scenes. No over acting by any of the actors and even support actors are amazing. Worth a re-watch and definitely binge worthy! Extremely unique storyline!
I recommend it to all those who love light romance.
P.S.: No villains too

Each episode has a beautiful beginning. There are no abrupt endings or overdramatic villains/vamps. Negative characters are really subtle in their roles. The time lapses shown are very natural. Evan Lin and Wan Peng look really natural!

Enjoy watching it!

Very nice story

To begin with ,Story is good ,acting as well as background music .Further more supporting characters were also good , I like the little possessive and character of the lead .otherwise what had happened in such story the couple break if one of their family not ready to accept the disability of one has and neither one want to create bad image nor bad relationship among family so one has give up or himself become evil infront of his love .
Story become much better if a twist come when they separated ,when he gets back his eyesight so he would not able to find and looked for voice and touch and when she comes in front of him he slowly slowly recognise her first by voice and then touch ,it become little romantic . I guess so
Rest ,all was good

Amazing drama with beautiful OST, you will regret not watching!

This is my first time writing a review on MDL despite being on here for years.

Firstly, as a longtime fan of Lin Yanjun, I've been waiting for this drama for almost a year! However I really wasn't sure if I could finish it as he's never acted before and I'm generally not a fan of idols acting BUT his acting performance completely proved me wrong! He was so impressive portraying Su Nianqin that I truly felt he was blind and my heart ached. His every emotion, tiny expression was clearly evoked. He worked really hard for this role and I am so proud of him! If I didn't know him beforehand, I would have thought that he's been an actor for a few years already. I've seen a couple of Wan Peng's dramas and while her characters feel similar (at least to me), she always nails it!

The plot is cliche, yet not cliche. While there are a couple of things I wish were covered more in depth in the drama and also a couple of things I want to nitpick on, it overall does a good job of showing the story (rather than telling)! The couple's story is very touching and while at times, immature, that is probably how real life is like when we fall in love (not that I have experience lol) Their chemistry was really strong and convincing, which is very impressive considering this is Lin Yanjun's debut drama!

I really like how Su Nianqin was blind because there are rarely any dramas with characters who are disabled. The drama educated me a lot about people with special needs and how sometimes what we think is best for them may not really be the best way. I hope that this is something many viewers can learn and takeaway from the drama.

The OST was perfect! I love every single OST especially the "Fall" by Wei Chen and "Forever Shine on Me" by Lin Yanjun. The filming was excellent too especially the use of closeups, which tell a deeper meaning without the characters actually saying it.

Overall, really really refreshing and unique drama, it will make you smile like an idiot but also cry in the middle of the night. I will definitely be rewatching this amazing drama again in the near future! Thank you so much to the cast and crew for such a wonderful drama <3

Strong start with interesting casts. I fell in love with the drama, soundtrack everything. I am currently listening to their soundtracks over and over again, especially the instrumental songs (crush and crush 2).

Drama pace was nice and I am fond with her housemate/friend's funny and sarcasm character. Just felt on the later half a bit draggy -instead they should focus and give closure on FL's depression/ mental issue. Also, there were so many scenes that abruptly cut and doesn't continue on next episode so it’s kind of annoying. Nevertheless, it's still a wonderful drama and they look so beautiful together.

If you're into blind romantic male leads, this one's for you!

As someone who's married to a handsome, blind man of my own, I still often scour the corners of the web looking for short films, series, movies or any type of media related to handsome, blind men and you bet this is possibly my most re-watched series so far because of Su Nian Qin. It's special to me because I finished watching it exactly 2 months before I met my husband. I've always been attracted to handsome, blind men since high school so this series really inspired and cemented my resolve to look for and meet someone similar to the main character, Su Nian Qin.

I agree, that although his blindness is a bit cliched without any prosthetics or contact lenses, Evan Lin makes up for it through his slight gestures and movements. I appreciate the way he would move the back of his hands when looking for a chair to sit on, as well as having a talking watch and reading a braille book, but the telescopic cane wasn't very realistic , since it's too flimsy to use outdoors . The white cane would have been more appropriate, but I guess it's the director's choice to match the stylish character.

The story itself is about a bubbly, manic-pixie girl falling for the brooding, lonely, mysterious hottie who also happens to be blind, and all the ups and downs of navigating their relationship. That concept would have been a good story in itself but the second part needed to happen so the drama, including the tear-jerking moments, would build up even further and strengthen their relationship. There were some loose ends and although I liked the supporting characters, it would have been better if they didn't dwell on them for too long.

Give this show a chance and watch it with an open mind. If you're not into love stories then perhaps the music and gentleness of the scenes will be worthy of your time. I'm just glad my husband is not as seriously brooding as Nian Qin.

The downfall of this drama

This drama serie is unbelievably refreshing as the cool summer breeze. The actors did an amazing job.. the storyline is amazing as well! I enjoyed every single scene as it had value to the plot until the last few episodes. The character's personality went downhill, specifically Nian Qin.

Everything was perfectly sweet, but then he s*xually assaulted Wu Yan by forcefully hugging her without consent and her not doing anything about it. Based on Wu Yan's education, she definitely knew what was wrong. That scene was painfully disappointing as that wasn't within Nian Qin's personality range.

Not to mention that when they had a little boy as a guest after they got married was just confusing. An autistic boy would never end up in that absurd situation irl. Nian Qin's childish behaviour caught me off guard as presented in the first episodes, he was never the type of person to become immature. I understand the clinginess towards his wife, but that was really too much. His reaction towards the autistic boy made me so angry. What happened to the gentle teacher that adored children? "Boys don't cry." Damn, I wanted to slap him through my screen lol.

It wasn't just Evan's character that made me angry and confused but also Peng's. Her imagining her dead friend at the very end? Am I the only one who thought that we didn't get a satisfactory closure on that case since it was too late? Her diagnosis was too rushed and just put on the story just because for the sake of it??

With that in mind, I still recommend this drama serie. The acting, music, lighting, photo, story, lines are spot on! I personally loved the train station scene the best! That was just romantic AF.
