Oi Vênus (2022)

This was a cute story! I loved the first episode and I appreciate when the first episode can make someone focused. All the cast members did very well including the supporting and guest roles. I wished there was more to the ending. I wouldn't have watched this drama if it was for the first episode. I don't understand why some corporates or hospitals don't allow dating. I hear that workplace romances can adversely affect employee morale and productivity by distracting the romantic partners and their co-workers Even if they dated outside their jobs with non-employees can still be distracting. Love is Love and problems will be problems whether inside or outside the workplace. I thank all the actors/actresses, directors, producers, writers, and staff. You all did great.

Mellow romance with healthy relationship between main leads

I was curious about this drama after seeing many positive reviews on reddit. They are right. If you are looking for romance with healthy relationship between main leads, then watch this series! I find Joseph Zeng resembles S.Coups and Xu Kai at certain angle.

What I liked:
1. Romance - This is one of the few dramas which male and female leads have healthy and mature relationship. I like that they take time to develop their relationship and have a solid base. All the insecurities are rational and discussed. I also like how workplace romance is showcased in this story especially when it involves a boss and subordinate (not equal in status).
2. Lin Kai Wen / Kevin characterisation - I must also say that this is one of the few dramas that have fully fleshed out second male and second female leads. Assistant Lin is the star of this drama. He's calm and rational and has good strategic thinking skills. I am surprised that Zhou Zi Han doesn't have many tv and movie credits - he should act in more tv roles!
3. Jia Yao Yao characterisation - I also like how the writer fleshed out this character. She writes romance but level headed (not too absorbed in the concept of love). She's a great friend. I also like that she's confident in her capabilities and allure. She wasn't coy once she figured out signals given by Assistant Lin and recognised her feelings for him. Li Lin Fei has magnetic smile.
4. Taoyuan Village - I like the scenes in this village even though they aren't many. Nice to see contrast between rural hospital and upscale, big city hospital.
5. The tone - I'd consider this series as light due to the absence of major conflicts (e.g. jealous ex, family drama). However there was a dark/deep issue that was explored in this drama - the passing of Dr Ye's father.
6. Styling - I really like the styling for Lu Zhao Xi and Assistant Lin from the hair to the clothes. Styling for Ye Shi Lan is alright - not a fan of oversized vest over flowy dresses because Liang Jie is petite.

What I disliked:
1. The ending - I felt like there is a cliffhanger at the end of the series. It'd be great if the writer can wrap up the office drama because I'd love to see how Vice President Gao is dealt with.
2. Team dynamics - I would love to see more of the dynamics within paediatric department. Dr Ye's ex boyfriend looked sketchy. What happened to Dr Huang after the free clinic?

My favourite scene
How Dr Ye disclosed her boyfriend to her colleagues at Paediatrics Department. I like that she was the one that reveal it, not Lu Zhao Xi.

Un buena y sencilla historia de amor.

Esta serie tiene un argumento muy sencillo, que seguramente hemos visto en otras: una joven trabajadora confunde al presidente de su companía -en este caso un hospital-, lo trata mal y luego descubre que es su jefe. Él consigue que se convierta en su secretaria... y florece en amor.
Si bien es un argumento muy visto al menos aquí los personajes, tanto los secundarios como los principales son adorables. El romance va creciendo poco a poco, y se aprecia que como pareja podría funcionar en la vida real, algo que no siempre sucede en este tipo de género.
Me ha gustado esta serie. Ha sido un romance lento pero seguro, con momentos tiernos pero no excesivos -no hay nada peor que unos treintaañeros haciendo cosas empalagosas como si fueran adolescentes-, con algunos toques de humor, y algo de drama. Todo sin exceso.
Lo único negativo sería todo la trama que gira alrededor del hospital, con el presidente, el vicepresdiente.,.. es todo un poco confuso, sobre todo en el capítulo final donde nada queda muy claro. O al menos a mí me lo ha parecido.
Muy recomendable si deseas ver una relación que podría darse en la vida real. Si buscas grandes dramas, comedia o algo más, puede que te sientas decepcionada.

So enjoying this beautiful feel good romance drama

With all that’s going on in the world this is a much needed romance drama… with ML and FL that have worked together before. They are a beautiful couple… I love their relationship build up and the FL character build up where she is more confident and attractive. They are so cute.. I continue to smile in each episode. This drama is giving off good vibes…. I love the parents and though they have different backgrounds they both match in their professional and private interests . ML and FL compliment each other.. this is definitely a rewatch… adding to my favorite drama list

Episode one is a bit bland, the setting is not so great, i might have given up if not for the lead characters. The pacing is also quite slow. I'm glad that I didn't give up. It is one of those shows where you have to pay attention to every scene. It was really well made.

Lu Zhao Xi (ML): He is adorable with the devil face he tries to make, its so embarrassing and cute at the same time. He was decent person from start to end. He did like to tease the heroine a bit and behave like a child pulling a girl's pigtails, but it was fun. Apart from that, there was no toxicity detected.

Ye Shi La (FL): She matched the ML's adorableness and was just as decent of a person as the male lead. Their romance was slow burn and they took time to understand each other. She often played along with the ML knowing that he was teasing her, but sometimes she took him seriously.

I liked the actress in the drama The Day of Becoming You, which also has a similar pace.

Pleasant, light romance

I just finished watching all the episodes and I'm glad I reached for this drama. First of all, because of this pair of actors that I recently watched in a drama in which both actors Zeng Shun Xi and Liang Jie played. I've been watching especially for Joseph Zeng, whose acting I really like, I've really enjoyed most of his dramas so far. There's something inherent in him, a magnetic charisma that attracts viewers, and his gaze with those warm, beautiful eyes.
It's a light drama with a simple, romantic plot without any tragic events that did me good after all the previous dramatic plots in other dramas.
I enjoyed watching the romance develop between the two main leads as well as the supporting characters. Healthy relations between these two and between the parents of these two leads, where finally there was no sick ambition to marry a rich heir to a rich girl. ZXQ's main lead's parents were normal, his mother is his son's confidante and talked to him normally and accepted his choice of girlfriend without any problems. Which was a big change in this drama compared to the plots of other dramas. There are also no annoying ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends, no toxic relationships. There is, however, a pair of very engaging best friends who later become our beloved side couple. The best friends here, Yao Jiajia (Li Linfei) and Lin Kaiwen (Zhou Zihan), are intelligent and give our couple tips and sound advice, helping them see and find themselves. Which is a rare occurrence in drama plots.

It's a story with a very simple plot and no twists and turns. The dialogues are subtly funny, humorous. Drama is soothing and lighthearted, perfect for erasing stress and anxiety.
However, I blame the author of the script for treating the last scenes so lightly... they were not as engaging as the earlier ones and I had the impression that they were written hastily "on the knee". Especially the scene where the main leads have a conclusion in the scene of consummating their relationship and it was horribly shown! This scene should be especially well prepared. I don't know if the script was written by a young man who treats the first intercourse between two people in love as something ordinary, as if it was of little importance in their lives, and on top of that there is this stupid discussion about securing a condom (by the way, the placement of this product was in an earlier episode of shopping scene for LZX going on a business trip, which surprised me that the censors let it pass). It was not knowing why the most important thing for these two at that moment, not their beautiful relationship, tenderness, closeness. It could have been done so romantic and it begged that the next scene the next day also retained the emotion of waking up together and looking at each other with tenderness. And here they show Ye Shi Lan, who wakes up alone and Lu Zhao Xi is not by her side, because he ran to get some stupid thermos box that he brought to the room in the morning .... and he did not greet her with a kiss or a word after spending the night together... IT WAS LEG! Apparently, also the Chinese youth is currently treating this important event as the youth in the world, i.e. thoughtlessly and without emotions ... they just slept with each other ... I prefer this couple in a similar scene in the drama Time Flies and You are Here, where both understand the importance of this their "first time". So much for my disappointment with the last scene. That's why I didn't give a full 10 for the plot.
Despite this unfortunate written last scene, I highly recommend this drama, especially to lovers of romance and all viewers with tender hearts.

A good show!

A sweet romance, the story was nothing new but I liked both the leads and their chemistry was good. I would admit I had a negative bias towards Laing Jie and avoided watching the shows in which she was the lead. But I’ve always liked Steven Zhang and Joseph Zeng, and I finally decided to watch A Day of becoming you because frankly, I had finished what I was watching and didn’t have anything else to watch. But once I started watching the show, my impression of Liang Jie changed quickly and I wanted to watch more shows with her. That’s how I ended up watching Hi Venus. It was a sweet love story with a predictable plot, but it was worth the screentime, one because the show didn’t drag anywhere, two because there wasn’t a love triangle or an evil ex-girlfriend to complicate issues. The parents on both sides were supportive despite the huge economical barrier between the leads, and the ML didn’t seem to think one bit about how he was super rich and our FL was from a humble background. He admired her for her qualities and personality and that didn’t change till the end. The second leads were super nice too, and I never felt like fast forwarding any scenes with them. Though I am still confused why the show was titled Hi Venus, I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet and simple romance.

Hayal kırıklığı

bu diziye başlarken keyif alabileceğimi düşünmüştüm ama hayır. Daha ilk bölümde saçmalayan bunu birkaç bölüm daha devam ettiren Ye Shi Lan saçma sapan replikleri. Doktor olacaksın ama mantığın sıfır olacak,senarist iyice saçmalamış. Daha anlamadan dinlemeden Lu Zhao Xi suçlaması hatta süpürgeyle vurmaya çalışması,yemeği için para istemesi çok abartılı. 16 bölüme kadar çok sıkıldım. senaryo kısır döngüde sıkışıp kalmış. Romantizm neredeyse yok ve kimya uyumu hiç yok. Oyucuları sanki zorla oynuyor. Gülmediğimiz gibi finale doğru dramatize ederler diziyi. Kısacası benim için hayal kırıklığı....
