An Unparalleled Romantic Feast

This was a rare delight.

Noona romance meets sports drama, without any of the accompanying angst or noble sacrifice tropes usually abundant in this genre. What a breath of fresh air!

Both leads are stunning in their roles. Their natural chemistry was very pure and gorgeously realized. You get the sense that the filming crew must have been so excited to be on set, knowing they had dynamite in front of them. Really, this is a couple you can root for. Watching them grow into their romance was a very beautiful experience.

By and large, this is the best Chinese drama I have watched. No comparison exists, and trust me, I have looked! Naturally, the rewatch value on this one is high. It is like a visual antidepressant.

I lost count of how many times I found myself smiling like an idiot while watching this. Trust me, you will too.

A Motivating and romantic drama.

I started this drama because of An Yu as I'm not a big fan of sports dramas and this drama didn't disappoint. It showed the importance of courage, humility, believing in oneself, and mostly Love. I particularly love this drama because of the raw emotions of the male lead. There was a secret lesson in this drama, and I think it's about men's mental health. There were no scorned women and unnecessary love triangles, even all the scheming was done by men. It removed the men from the perfect image we are all made to expect from them. We were able to see the vulnerability and real emotions of men, a topic that causes so much stigma in our community. So many times, men are taught that in order to be "masculine", they need to be strong and bottle up their emotions, and their mental health is affected negatively.

The story of a goal-oriented and determined athlete who fell in love with his coach. She was the first person to recognise his talent, and she held his hand through all the hardships.

Duan Yu Cheng's character was really good, you could see him develop both mentally and emotionally, and career-wise too. An Yu did so well, just like he always does.
Luo Na was a beautiful character too, she supported him all the way, and even though there were moments when she faltered, she never gave up on him, and she never let him give up on his dreams.
All the supporting characters were talented and beautiful. they really made the drama interesting to watch.

The OST was also really good, and it gave me the feels. Loved it so much. Some of the songs are also in English so I'm gonna be singing along all the time.

the only con is that the end was a bit rushed, and we never got to see more of Yu Cheng's competitions. Also, something to point out is that the first half of the drama concentrates more on sports, while the other half is more about romance, close to the end, there were fewer sports scenes and mostly romantic ones.
this drama is a must-watch, and very beautiful. you won't regret it.

A REALLY GOOD SHOW BUT I HAVE SOME COMPLAINTS

a really really good drama the build up and the acting , the pacing and the story are interesting didn’t feel bored at all throughout it

the first drama i didn’t fast forward through that much especially during the sports scenes ( all thanks to wang’s amazing acting as usual )

but the last two episodes were rushed especially that he returned to china they should’ve at least given us one last championship with the national and with the sport scenes and her cheering in the front row ( either national or asian championship) with him holding the gold medal and giving to her as he was promising from the beginning

about the lead’s character he should’ve been a bit mature and stopped the tantrums and the marriage proposals


the romantic scenes were so adorable and the chemistry is out of this world the kisses and skinship were 1000/10. but the lightning got on my nurves a little. and the fact they didn’t talk about him jumping off a bridge again was weird ( she didn’t even scold him?? )

about the supporting character i loved how the roommates are supportive and the SML wasn’t toxic ( i loved the relationship between SML and le gue I adored xia she was cutte )


but overall this didn’t turn me off on the show still one of the best older woman younger men cdramas

athletics, romance, age gap, good chemistry and vibe

Falling Into You 2020 - 8,5/10 -cdrama

cute, age gap, sport, college romance drama between athlete and his trainer.

Its quite nice romcom with very good chemistry where younger ML pursues FL. Though from mine opinion FL fell for him at first sight there.

This drama aint very much about college life, but more about classic sports like 100m sprint, high jump etc

plot - ML got dream to become world class high jumper, but he is hindered by his height. Though every coach tries to make him give up on his dram and change into different discipline where his height wouldnt be problem such as sprint. ML preserves and through his diligence and charm he manages obtain professional guidance from FL which is assistant coach at his new university.

genre - romance, college, age gap, sport, comedy

8.4 overrated just fit as rating for the first half of story in sports scenes NO FOR ROMANCE AT ALL

I wanted to give a try for this drama for being a noona drama and the poster showing like something greatly tailored to make a piece of great drama BUT I WAS DISAPPOINTED in fact...
The story is not based on interesting plot that I can say I am feeling the exciting element to continue watching the next episode.
My problem with this series is there was not a coherent story maybe based on the genre and the romantic part is not well written due to the bad script written in this side.
The chemistry between leads had been irrational from the female lead who was not accepting the male lead being younger to suddenly being a secret couple and the male lead who is in some way childish with his over jealousy as to possess the female lead and she must had the hint of him wanting to confess to her.
The scene where the male lead jump off the bridge when the female lead is not responding to his feeling to choose him as suitable for the high jumping team, had given a support to increase the rating for me OTHER THAN THAT JUST the sports part was greatly done too.
The part that I just say the best in the series is the competition of high jumping and sprinting where the hard working character of male lead is greatly shown to make the female lead proud of him.
The male lead had exaggerating feeling expressions in shedding tears like a child snatching away his doll and this jealousy of him that I didn't seen portrayed to this extent for any actor but not bad.
The male lead was too nice for the female lead and sincere and honest for his feelings that she had a poor sense of mutual feelings exchange.
The male lead was better than the female lead in acting in my opinion because he was over caring for her and the other wasn't enough a well matched as couple for him.
The support characters had well portrayed the youth sportive that is I can say too is a part that was greatly acted.
THE STORY FROM THE TITLE MEANING SHOULD FOCUS ON THE ROMANTIC SIDE MORE THAN THE SPORT and for me the romantic side was the worst in this drama what makes me dropping this one other than that maybe I shall continue this.

Easily becoming my favorite contemporary Chinese drama, "Falling Into You" does the Noona-romance trope right. Coming on the heels of "Why Women Love", Gina Jin again plays as the "older" woman being courted by a much younger man, it's no wonder that she has this role down pat. It's my first time watching Wang An Yu and he's pretty convincing as a love-sick puppy who's chasing around his master/mentor. Bonus points that he also acts the part of an all-around "jack-of-all-sports" who has to overcome the prejudices of being short-statured to compete in an event that usually favors taller profiles.

This drama maybe about the romance between an unlikely couple, but it focuses on the hard work and determination of athletes to turn their dreams into reality despite obstacles. I also liked the fact that they included a secondary pairing that's based more in realism, where Jiang Tian and Yu Xia gave up their dreams of competing nationally to open a noodle shop.

After watching some clips & seeing leads chemistry I started watching this series.

1st time seeing the leads, they had good chemistry together.

Wang An Yu is a good actor, will follow his future project.

I have no problem with older women & younger men. I would like to see this kind of genre in an office-centric series & the sports genre with both leads of the same age. It would be interesting to watch then.

Nothing but You is my 1st series of this same genre & I honestly Iiked Nothing but You more. This is not a bad series, but I did skip some of the scenes.

Duan Yu Cheng is an athlete. He is hard working, good at his studies, but also childish. Luo Na is an assistant coach, mature, determined, she was always there for Duan Yu Cheng, fighting for him, supporting him.

The way Luo Na keeps pursuing Mr. Wang for Duan Yu Cheng was quite funny. Loved her friendship with Wu Ze . They are so supporting & understanding towards each other. After Wu Ze got rejected, he didn't do anything stupid, tried to break them apart, which I loved the most. He understood that they're good for each other & gave them his blessing.

Wu Ze relationship with both Mr. Wang & Li Ge are just awesome. I loved them, especially Li Ge & Wu Ze relationship. Wu Ze sees himself in Li Ge. He tried his best to achieve Li Ge goals.

I liked Duan Yu Cheng friendship with both sports & academic team. Though Duan Yu Cheng & Jiang Tian had a rough start at first, they slowly became friends.

Luo Na & Wu Ze shock face after seeing Duan Yu Cheng's mother. His mother telling Luo Na that they're sisters.

Couch Yang expression after finding out about leads relationship.

Plus point of this drama is there is no side couple.

Plastic surgery

Even if the plot is interesting I just avoid those actresses who look alike because they had their faces redone. That kills the whole serie.
I finished watching Down with love with Ella Cheng and that's the kind of actress I want.
It's already difficult for non-Asians to recognize who is who sometimes so when those women have the same face features, it's impossible for me to watch.
And I do the same with non-Asians movies or series.
I love comedy drama with misunderstandings and love that end well.
Please actresses, stop the plastic surgery and find your niche in acting! It's way more enjoyable for the viewers!
