Had to watch at x2 speed because of the script

This show was very hard to get through, even at x2 speed. The acting isn't bad and the cast did good in their roles, it's just the script that is so lacking. When it comes down to it, the show is basically just three guys simping after the girls the entire show, while the girls just keep them wrapped around their fingers with the help from the clearly biased writers. 95% of the show consists of some form of misunderstanding or unnecessary drama that causes the female characters to become upset with the male characters, only to have the male characters try and chase after them and win them over for the next 3 episodes, and then it just repeats. You get maybe a few minutes of brief happiness and cute moments in their relationships, only to have another misunderstanding and lack of communication happen that causes the girls to become upset again. If you can get past the 95% of conflict in every relationship in this show (especially the two leads), then I guess the remaining 5% is somewhat enjoyable. Unfortunately, the conflict and drama lasts up until the very last few episodes, so at that point you basically have to suffer through the FL being mad at the ML for the entire show.

I think part of it is that the show is definitely catered more towards a specific audience that just enjoys seeing handsome guys chase after the girls in a show, and care less about a good script or balanced characters. Most of the male characters in this show are written so poorly, while others are just evil, corrupt, sexist, or harassers. The ML, Xin Qi, was especially done dirty by the writers. His character had barely any character outside of his heart condition and simping for the FL. Even his heart condition was put on the backburner in order to focus more on the "jealous" boyfriend moments and making him act like a child for the majority of the show in order to win over the FL. I swear I barely ever saw him actually working, he was just pursuing the FL the entire time, whether it was to get with her or to see his child. I can't even count how many times the writers pulled the "jealous" boyfriend card and had Xin Qi following the FL as she met up with countless guys that were only written in to create these jealous BF moments. And yet there is no 2FL or love rival to Min Hui (unless you count the childhood friend who died, but she's only in the show through flashbacks). I wish they had given Xin Qi more to his role besides pursuing Min Hui.

The side characters aren't much better either. Some of the conflicts were written so poorly that I cringed. Cao Mu wanting to break up with Jia Jun just because he was planning on proposing to her made very little sense. If she truly cared for him, why wouldn't she try talking it out first and working things out? Why immediately try breaking things off? At one point, Min Hui got so upset with Xin Qi because he "didn't trust her", even though he told her that he just wanted to find out the truth about what happened to his childhood friend. This happened literally in the same scene where he finally confessed to her and it looked like they were going to finally get together, all because of the cliche "plot-twist" connecting all the leads together (I'm trying not to spoil too much, so forgive the generalizations). Min Hui then proceeds to stay mad at Xin Qi for multiple episodes, all while Xin Qi spends the entire time trying to apologize and make it up to her, even though he's not entirely in the wrong either. If anything, Min Hui also didn't trust Xin Qi enough to tell him about his child or the events that happened in the past, and she also lied to him about pretending to be his dead childhood friend. She also treats him like dirt for the majority of the show, and the writers also seem to use Xin Qi as sort of a "punching bag" when it came to embarrassing himself, acting like a child, being constantly rejected but still pursuing, and always being in the wrong even when he wasn't.

To sum it all up, Xin Qi was too childish and there was no push and pull to the lead relationship because he was just simping the entire time, Min Hui was too angry the majority of the show and didn't let anyone explain themselves (only leading to further misunderstandings). There were so many moments when she would eavesdrop on others talking about her and would only hear the negative things said, and then walk away right when they start talking about the positive things about her, leading to yet another misunderstanding that isn't even resolved well. Cao Mu and Chen Jia Jun were admittingly cute together despite the age gap, and it was refreshing to see them together when there was so much conflict between the ML & FL, however Cao Mu did not treat Jia Jun very nicely at times, and Jia Jun was just another Xin Qi in that his whole world revolved around his love and nothing else mattered. The love triangle with Zhou Ru Ji was unnecessary and just made misunderstandings even more painful to watch, and his relationship with Zi Zhu was not very interesting or cute. Of course, the "evil" characters are obviously evil, so I don't need to talk about disliking them because they were meant to be disliked (just obvious sexists and harassers). I did really like the kid who played the son (Quan Quan). He was a good actor for his age and did well in his role, although he was that stereotypical kid role that you see in many of these dramas, where he's just way too smart for his age. I will say that the character Cindy was one of the only characters that I didn't really have a problem with. She was just fun and had a good personality.

Started off watching at normal speed, then bumped it up to 1.5x, and then found myself watching at x2 speed nearing the end because it was so repetitive. Maybe if you don't care for well thought out scripts or balanced characters, then you'll enjoy the show. Maybe if you just want to watch handsome guys simp after the girls for 28 episodes then you'll like it. I guess it just wasn't my cup of tea. Thanks for reading to the end if you made it this far!

Enjoyable Drama But It Does Have Its Frustrating Moments

When writing reviews, I like to write what I enjoy and what I had problems with. While the top reviews for this drama may be a 10, this wasn't as close to that score for me, as that would usually mean I would be able to watch it without fast forwarding certain scenes and/or not getting frustrated with characters, whether main or support. That both didn't happen.

So what did I enjoyed about this drama?
* The little boy Quan Quan stole the show for me. His childhood smartness, clever remarks, and the glue that brings together his mom and dad were the reason this show ended up being enjoyable for me.
* FL's character was a strong character overall
* Great friendship of Min Hui & Cao Mu. Even Xin Qi began to have a better relationship with the other 2 guys (2ML & 3ML)
* Xin Qi's assistant Hardy is the true MVP. Love his personality.
* The jealously scenes from Xin Qi were funny to me. Love this actor's expression when it came to those scenes.
* The scenes Quan Quan had with everybody, whether it was family time, or with his uncles & aunts. All of these scenes were cute & enjoyable.
* A very happy ending

What was missing for me/What I didn't like:
* As I mentioned in the pros about this drama, I love watching Quan Quan, so the fact that all of the sudden he disappeared after our leads officially get back together (Ep 23) for a good 3 or 4 episodes were disappointing to me. He was the star of the show and the fact that the writers couldn't come up with anything, I wasn't a fan of that story writing.
* Too slow of a progression for our lead couple: This is a 1 step forward, 3 step back relationship. Just when things start to get better, something always happen, deterring that progression on resolving their relationship.
* In the beginning, both Min Hui and Xin Qi had come to terms to move on from the past hurt and forgiving each other, but what happens? Another 15 to 20 episodes of these 2 still stuck on their past hurts and not learning how to move on from it. One couldn't learn about the meaning of fully trusting someone while the other one didn't want to deal with it and run away from their problems by ignoring the other. This made this drama so draggy.
* I loved the 2nd & 3rd couple but the writing for them is not great. 2nd couple is more of a love at first sight but they had a small story that could've been dealt with about marriage in the future. The writers presented a problem for this couple but just brush it aside as it was nothing. 3rd couple was more of a she chase him first and then he chase her back. I just needed more scenes to see the building of their feelings for each other and that didn't really happen.
* The bad guy was mostly non-existent in this drama, that it was kind of annoying that all of the sudden he appeared in the last few episodes and being the one that had the upper hand. Even the take down of him was sort of anti-climatic.

Overall, despite all of its problems, I still like this drama. It may not be one I would consider as the best for 2023, but it'll still give you a good time should you decide to watch it.

Adorable Kid and Family but not perfect

“The Love You Give Me” is an easy-to-watch light drama about family, second-chance romance (and other romances) with a small business plot. Wang Yu Wen and Wang Zi Qi teamed up together again after the success of “Once We Get Married” in 2021. It’s evident that they have a great working relationship and feel very at ease with each other. Their chemistry is good.

What I Like:

Quan Quan - Adorable child actor, Cui Yin Xin, is the star of the show. Playing the role of Quan Quan (QQ), he is integral in reuniting his parents together. He is sooooo cute and smart. You never get bored of his scenes and at times, he acts more mature than his parents. I believe this little guy dubbed his own lines post-production (unless DramaWiki is wrong). I can’t believe he is one of the very few actors who uses his own voice, not even his parents did that! Quan Quan's adorableness rivals that of Xiao Bao in “Unforgettable Love”.

The Family - All the scenes of the family together are gold. QQ is such a sweet and caring boy and I love the interaction he has both individually with each of his parents, and also together as a family. I think the scene of QQ with Xin Qi (ML) together with their hair tied with little rubber bands is the cutest scene ever! What a lovely way to bond and introduce us to many more cute scenes of this father/son duo.

Main Chemistry - I enjoy the bickering of Min Hui (FL) and Xin Qi (ML) quite a bit in the first half of the drama. The chemistry between them is great. There’s quite a bit of natural skinship towards the end of the drama. Many kisses, hugs and hand/arm holding. The kisses are OK and for some reason, I thought they would be better. The drama actually gives us a lot of kisses in the last few episodes, and makes me feel like they are fanservice. I also enjoy the storytelling of their romance 5 years ago, via epilogues at the end of each episode. It’s a good way to use flashbacks yet not disrupting the flow of the present-day timeline.

Main leads acting - I enjoy Wang Yu Wen and Wang Zi Qi’s performance. I think working together for the second time and being familiar with each other helps. Though their characters are the usual rom-com role, they performed to my expectations. I am actually surprised they did a pretty good job with the emotional scenes, especially for Wang Zi Qi in the last episode.



What I have Mixed Feelings and Don’t Like:

2nd Romance - I initially found the Cao Mu/Chen Jia Jun romance kinda cute. I appreciate that the drama does not go into the whole older woman/younger man discussion and criticisms. However, there’s not a whole lot of substance to their story. In the beginning, it was adorable how they both tried to find ways to see each other more. Both were shy but wanted more. But once they got together, Chen Jia Jun became an accessory. He doesn’t do anything aside from following Cao Mu around. I got bored watching them. Moreover, how come Cao Mu changes her thoughts of wedding all of a sudden in the last episode?

3nd Romance - This one is even more head-scratching. I can’t see how Zhou Ru Ji, a highly respected cardiac surgeon would fall for a spoiled princess. How can his taste change so much from liking a mature, independent single mother for 4 years, to a clingy and stalkerish little girl? Zhou Ru Ji and Yao Zi Zhu’s scenes are cringey and definitely not cute and fluffy. I would have a little more respect for Zhou Ru Ji if she was portrayed as a serious ballerina and the drama develops her character more than a lovesick, stalkerish puppy.

Plot/Pacing - The pacing of the first half is really good. In a blink of an eye, I was halfway done. But then, it slows down with unnecessary side plots of the rehashing of the accident 4 years ago and the leads’ misunderstanding. The drama spent too much time in Xin Qi pursuing Min Hui again and trying to prove his love for her in a childish way. And then, the transition of Min Hui accepting Xin Qi again is abrupt after she puts up a big fight. Furthermore, the last few episodes are business heavy and I miss the scenes of the adorable QQ. I also miss the CEO character of Xin Qi in the second half. He showed up in the end, but for most of the second half, I don’t see the cool, somewhat mean and powerful CEO. As much as I enjoy his sweet scenes with his son, I hate to see a cool guy turn into a fluffy mess after he’s in love.

Dubbing - I am quite disappointed that for a 2023 modern C-drama, most of the actors are dubbed. *sigh*


Overall, I had a good time watching “The Love You Give Me”. I was craving for a romantic comedy and this satisfies my need + Quan Quan is too cute. Thus, I am giving this an 8.0 rating.

opinion

>possible spoiler alert<

A wellspring of cuteness. It's definitely worth watching; all three couples are so adorable. There was a slight slip-up just before the end that made me want to stop watching, but I don't think it affects the overall story too much because it was necessary. The child is lovely and intelligent, and the interactions within the family were so sweet and natural that it wasn't awkward at all. And I don't even need to mention Papa Zhou, my sweetheart—he truly deserves to be happy. I liked that they addressed some important issues, especially the constant harassment women face and the harsh criticism they have to endure simply for being women. If you're looking for something light and cute, I highly recommend it.

Fluffy,sweet,no third party,light hearted romance drama

The story start off good with keeping off its pace. It doesn't get draggy by time like other shows. The revelation about he is father of the FL child but afterwards story started going draggy and flat. basically child actor carry show marr than lead.. female lead acting was not on the point, sometimes she behave like a teenage girl despite being mother of 5 year old child. ML sometimes doesn't go on point with being a father. Even though they know the truth they don't reconcile till almost the end of the end of the show. Main lead story started going awry despite the theme of romance
I personally like the chemistry of second lead.
SML was quite cute ang young. He carries his role gracefully... The character development was good too. I loved him more than male lead SFL did a quite great job too but I don't know why I got frustrated with her passing time..
Fl character in this show was quite frustrating.. she hides the truth,she don't wanna get along. Even she doesn't know what she want from herself. And her neighbour, the doctor his story was quite clear che.but I liked him and his character, he did justice to his role unlikely other..
If u wanna watch,you can give it a go without looking for much expectations,bcuz this is a simple plain story without much going on just passing time.
I Watched this show because the same lead where in drama Once we get married..
You can give it a go for a light hearted watch.
It's worth time if you watch simple drama

A sweet romance with an extraordinary trio of main leads

PLOT:
Complicated relationship between 1 FL working in cardiac research and 1 ML "great investor". They were in love 5 years earlier, break up on a misunderstanding, and meet again in the professional setting.
He has always a heart malformation , and she has a 4-year-old son (with the same genetic disease).

ACTING:
Congratulations to the trio of main actors:
- the chemistry within the CL is excellent, natural. OTPs keep the viewer glued to the screen. The relationship is mature (multiple kisses & skinship).
- the son is, and will be an extraordinary actor.

The other actors are also very good, even the "villains" are absolutely detestable.

STORY:
It is well written, with finesse and subtlety, addresses issues such as single parent working women, (sexual) harassment at work, bereavement, the anxiety of parents of sick children, etc.
BUT
some parts are useless (to make the sauce longer :) such as breaking up in the name of lack of trust, others absurd ("I help the man I love to conquer another woman" then "when he confess himself, I play hard-to-get).

PRODUCTION :
Well done in the first part, but the misunderstandings-breaks-up last too long, and I skipped a few episodes (18-19-20-21) because of the lengths. The pace becomes better when the main leads are officially together (ep. 22-23). The end is nice, but I would have liked to see the announcement of the pregnancy, to the husband, to the big brother. I remained a little on my hunger.
The OSTs are very good, many with an english parts. However, I don't understand why they always play the same song on every CL's kiss scene. More variety, please.

To conclude, it's a good series, not "headache", relatively realistic, not memorable, but which demonstrates the talent of the 3 main actors (whom I would like to see again very soon in other dramas).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLOT :
Relation compliquée entre 1 FL dans la recherche cardiaque et 1 ML "gros investisseur". Ils étaient amoureux 5 ans + tôt, se sont quittés sur un malentendu, et se retrouvent dans le cadre professionnel.
Il a une malformation cardiaque, elle un fils de 4 ans...
ACTING :
Bravo au trio d'acteurs principaux :
- l'alchimie au sein du CL est excellente, naturelle. Les OTP tiennent le spectateur collé à l'écran. La relation est mature (multiples kisses & skinship).
- le fils est et sera un acteur extraordinaire.

Les autres acteurs sont aussi très bons, même les "villains" sont détestables à souhait.

STORY :
Elle est bien écrite, avec finesse et subtilité, aborde des problèmes tels que les femmes actives monoparentales, le harcèlement (sexuel) au travail, le deuil, l'angoisse des parents d'enfants malades,etc.
MAIS
certaines parties sont inutiles (pour rallonger la sauce :) telles que la rupture au nom du manque de confiance, d'autres absurdes ("j'aide l'homme que j'aime à conquérir une autre" puis "quand il se déclare, je joue les hard-to-get).

REALISATION :
Bien menée dans la première partie, mais les malentendus-ruptures durent trop trop longtemps, et j'ai fait du zapping sur qq épisodes (18-19-20-21) à cause des longueurs. L'ensemble devient meilleur à partir du moment où le CL est officiellement ensemble (ép. 22-23). La fin est sympa, mais j'aurai aimé voir l'annonce de la grossesse, au mari, au grand frère. Je suis un peu restée sur ma faim.
Les OST sont très bien, beaucoup avec une partie anglaise. Cependant, je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils passent toujours la même chanson sur chaque scène de baiser du CL. Un peu de variété, SVP.

Pour conclure, c'est une bonne série, pas "prise de tête", relativement réaliste, pas mémorable, mais qui démontre bien le talent des 3 acteurs principaux (que j'aimerai revoir très vite dans d'autres dramas).

Started off well but then… draggy again!

As most Cdramas out there nowadays, this started really well. The storyline and background plot was really good, voices were not dubbed, production was modern and everything seemed great.

Then somewhere in the middle the FL was getting very annoying. The ML who is her ex bf, broken up 5 years ago, is the father of her 4 yo son, whom she kept secret from him. Upon finding out, of course he wanted to spend time with his son, showered him w lots of gifts to make up for lost time. Any woman would be ecstatic - that the father would want to spend so much time and play with the boy! But not this woman, she kept pushing him away. I suppose she was afraid that he would try to take her child away from her.

Towards the 2nd half, the ML became annoying. He was constantly jealous and trying to win her heart, he pulled all sorts of stupid tricks, feigning sickness and was too clingy and jealous. Spoiler: they only get together in episode 23!!! Which is way too draggy for my liking. I personally preferred the 2nd couple- older woman younger man theme. The third couple with the doctor was just ridiculous. She was chasing him relentlessly and then all of a sudden, the tables turned and he was chasing her?? A waste of time in my opinion.

I understand the writers wanting to highlight the issue of sexual harassment in the office and women standing up for their rights- it was a little too obvious and some parts were rather far fetched.

The romance was alright, their kisses not that great and their chemistry rather put on. It’s a happy ending, and some sad touching moments. All in all it wasn’t too bad, but it would have been better if it was shorter.

CP of leading couple is really attractive

I used to watch the drama - Once We Get Maried. The performance of the leading couple in "Once We Get Married " attracts me to do watching " The Love you Give Me ". I enjoy their performance in this new drama much more than the prior one. I find that the couple's acting skill has been improved greatly. Their performances are real and natural; their eyes' expressing and communicating can tell the story even without a word, good job !!! I refer to the scene when her son was going to have the heart operation. The Mother can express her utmost worrisome thru her eyesight deeply but not exaggerated. The leading male actor can also address his excitement in the accidentally intimacy scene finely and simply via his swallowing own saliva, his Adam's apple just faintly trembling. Morover, it seems to me that the leading actor and actress are more good looking in this drama !!

Eventually, the scripwriter is smart. The plot and lines are realistic and charimatic. Those scenes that disclose incident, fact or relationship; relationship between father and son , for instance, are simple and tactful, again not exaggerated. I am not saying the drama has no weakpoints; it does have some but it 's still worth watching.

Literally The Cutest C-Drama In 2023

I just finished watching this c-drama today. Binged the whole drama in two days and i never really do that with c dramas that are usually this year BUTT it was that amazing that i did. The acting of all the actors especially the main ones of the family really did such a fantastic job expressing emotions and everything. I LOVVED the little boys the most haha he was just too adorable. He stole the show for me. The story itself was o testing kinda basic but not too the point where i couldn’t watch it. The music i don’t remember but there was this one song that played during intimate scenes which i liked. The only two things that i didn’t like was 1. How slow the romance of the story progressed 2. how the female lead acted towards the male lead at certain moments. ( like not giving him the chance to say his side). Overall i loved the show and wish that i get to see them together again in another drama because there chemistry is cRAZY. P.s The ending was perfect. Couldn’t ask for a better way to end the drama.

If you like heart warming romance with a happy ending this is it

10/10 is my rating. This is a 2023 Chinese modern romantic drama with 28, 45 minute episodes.

First I write a synopsis and then review

Synopsis

Xin Qi (Wang Zi Ki) was once a romantic young man with a heart condition who dreamed of making good on a promise he had with a girl who grew up in the same orphanage. A series of errors leads to him mistaking Min Hui (Wang Yu Wen) as that childhood love. They fall in love and Min Hui tells Xin Qi the truth. He does not take it well and vows to never forgive her then lands in the hospital clinging to life. Min Hui stays long enough to see him through surgery and on the road to recovery before disappearing while pregnant with the child she kept secret. Years later, Min Hui and Xin Qi reunited when their professions bring them together through work. Min Hui is a brilliant medical software programmer and Xin Qi is the CEO of a company that holds many investments in medical technologies. They did not part on good terms and Xin Qi is not ready to give up on the resentment he harbors toward the woman he thinks betrayed his trust even as he grows curious about the age and similarities to himself of her young son, Min Quanquan (Cui Yi Xin). Could he be the father? Did he really want Min Hui out if his life forever?

Review

I loved this show and my only sadness was when it was over. The female lead is smart, strong and courageous. She does not allow the male chauvinists in her work and beyond to get away with sexually harassing her or anyone else on her watch and gets them back in the most delightful ways. Yet she is not an over the top woke feminist she just wants mutual respect. She also does not let the men in her life treat her poorly. The male lead is just the right combination of serious and very capable businessman and charming and engaging human being. I disagree with others that thought the side romances were annoying. There was one side character, the ballerina, who started out a bit whiny and clingy but she underwent great character development and turned out to be a character I was rooting for. I looked up what it is like in modern China because these shows make me curious if it is only the elite that has this type of lifestyle but there is actually a growing middle class in China. So the characters may not only represent the elite. I loved the little boy character as he was so smart, cute and funny. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes heart warming romance. As someone who hates sad or nebulous endings I can attest that this has a very happy ending and the story line is well wrapped up.

Spoilers*
My greatest concern was that either the dad or the little boy would die or suffer very ill effects from their heart conditions but they both live and have their heart issues managed through surgery and seem as if they will live healthy lives. I loved that when main guy treated the female lead poorly because he had doubts about her from the past she was basically like I don’t need you and he had to work to prove to her that he would stand by her and trust her moral character. When the female lead character thought he was trying to take her son from her she gave him no quarter. I think you let people in your life know how you are willing to be treated and she was really clear that she wanted him to love her for her and not just as the mother of his son. She made it clear she would not let anyone, even him, come in between her relationship with her son. I liked how he so quickly accepted he was a father and his initial surprise turned to delight at the thought. The interplay between the father and son and the son and the mother was so delightful. Dressing him up in matching outfits and playing super hero with him are things that a father who truly loved their child would do. But he was a perfect partner for the female lead too, when he found out she was sexually assaulted his response was absolutely perfect. He supported her, empathized, and helped ensure the man who assaulted her was punished. I loved his assistant too. I loved how much he cared for his boss/friend and the relationship his assistant developed with the little boy. Even the second guy in this one had a happy ending. It is a rare case where you feel the second guy has a great outcome but in this case he did. The persistent ballerina was probably the only one who could have won him away from his pursuit of lead girl. And it all ended perfectly for me. I love happily ever after so seeing the wedding was a very happy moment. I liked that we even saw the little family two years later and that they had another child. It was just enough without being too much.
