One of the best dramas in DRAMALAND!!!Easily one of my top tens.. It is a must watch!

I have watched this drama multiple times. I love everything about it, from the casts to the soundtrack, the plot and storylines. I am not a fan of Lakorn because of the heavy melodrama and propensity of negative/weak portrayal of female leads but this drama has just the right balance of everything that I love in a drama. I think the way they sort of reverse the story where the main leads fell in love immediately and proceeded to tell their story in the remaining episodes to me is unique in this drama. Although it is a totally different drama, it reminds me of the feeling I had with CLOY. The love, laughter, family, friendship, betrayal and heartache.

ML/FL - They could not have casted a more perfect main leads. Their chemistry is sizzling, you could almost feel it. They are both eye candies and really good actors. Their acting is on point, you could feel their love and heartache. Every scene they have together whether they are fighting or being sweet to each other are just beautiful. Their love scenes are beautifully done. There is nothing awkward or cringy about it. They are one of my favorite couples in dramaland. I hope they get to do another drama in the future. The ML reminds me of Captain Ri of CLOY, he will do everything for the woman he loves, can kick ass, look super fit and fiercely loyal to the ones he loves and those who loves him. Definitely one of the best ML. The FL is kind, soft and independent but will not back down if confronted by problems. The other lead (brother/Touch) also did a good job. Their bond as brothers is just pure and really heartwarming.

Support cast - from the best friends of the ML to the moms on both sides, the vindictive ex of the ML, the evil cousin, grandma, the scheming BF of the other ML and the cousin's wife and the bodyguard - they all did a wonderful job. They actually all had chemistry in a way that made the drama better, entertaining, gripping and more fun.

OST - I think one of the best part is their careful selection and placement of the songs. I don't usually pay much attention to it but with this drama, in my opinion, had played an important role in telling the story. The way they gave emphasis to the songs to convey their feelings is deliberate and adds magic to the scenes.

Story and directing - The story is not perfect, it has thrown everything in it but somehow it has managed to entertain and had me going to the end. It was beautifully conveyed by the director through the careful and thoughtful story telling through the great actors, songs and storylines.

I wish in the end, it showed the main leads to be married , although implied, it would have been a perfect ending for me to see them with kids since the story started with the grandpa's will to have an heir.

A good drama to start 2024!

This drama tells a story of an ordinary family in modern China. This type of story has been told many times before. But what makes this drama extraordinary is the excellent directing of amazing group of actors in a meaningful, realistic and relatable storyline and story telling. The pace is fast but concise. The length is short but not rushed.

The drama did not waste time, it started with tragedy that would change 2 families’ lives. It grabs your heart and never lets go till the end. At least that is how I feel. From a solid start, gripping episodes and a warm ending.

2 siblings who are mothers , expresses a totally different kind of love for their children. One is kind, loving, understanding, supportive and caring. The other, clingy, manipulative, selfish and suffocating. This demonstrates that a mother’s influence in the lives of their children or the actions they do for their children is consequential and life changing.

The cast is amazing. From the main leads to the support role. Through their realistic portrayal of their characters, they took us to an emotional roller coaster ride of pain, love, hope, laughter, fear, failure , insecurities and struggles. Elaine Zhong nailed her role in this drama, her pain and self loathing are palpable right after the accident. YCY acting is also on par with the rest. The moms are convincing in their portrayal of their characters - you will fall in love with one and loathe the other. The support role - the ex husband, the new bf and all the men in Ruohua’s life including her brother all did great in this drama.

The dance and choreography, the special effects - the prosthetic legs are so real I am amazed and wondered how they made is so realistic. The simplicity of the set makes it so realistic and relatable.

Overall, this drama left an impression on me and taught me a valuable lesson about motherhood and life in general.

7 Reasons why I love LOVE YOU 7 TIMES!

I have started a dozen cdramas but has not managed to finish one in a while. Most of the dramas start with a bang and then a long boring part that I can’t get past or sometimes the chemistry between the leads cool down. Then I found this drama.

Without much ado here are my 7 reasons why I love this drama. Here we go!

1 The main leads CHEMISTRY is on fire and cute at the same time . It makes you feel good like when you are in love. Aside from the fact that they are both beautiful, they seem very comfortable with each other which makes it fun to watch, not awkward. There may not be any steamy scenes but you can feel the magic and connection between them. A lot of cute moments ❤️

2. The story and concept.
For me the story is unique in a way because of the 7 (6 if you don’t count the last one/ending I guess) mini stories/dramas in the drama. In each story the cast perform different characters yet connects back to the original drama to complete the puzzle. It is a very interesting concept and entertaining at the same time. A lot of guessing what is going to happen next. TBH this si the only drama I watched where I want the main leads to die so they can avoid the tragedy or move on to the next story. ?. Watch it to believe it.

3. Cast
ML - His acting is always on point and carried the drama for the most part. He is an awesome actor and deserves the accolades that the viewers will give.
FL - She is fun and enjoyable to watch too. She may not be a best actress but she had her shining moments in this drama. Contrary to rumors being spread about her she does not always have a pouty mouth and whiny voice. She has managed to show her acting range as well. If you have bias against her this might not going to be a fun drama for you. But if you can set that aside you will find this drama enjoyable and worth your time.
Support cast - SML - whose love for the FL is admirable and rivaled that of the ML is consistent, the twins and stone fairy whose love and friendship are pure all played well. The emperor who is an excellent actor and very effective in his portrayal of his role.

4. The costumes and make up - just wow. That is all I can say. The colors , styles and designs of each costume in each life is just wow. It is a feast for the eyes and they deserve an award for this.

5. OST - all are beautiful and well placed to create more excitement, flare and drama to the scenes. There are times when the background noise is loud but that is to the editing and not the music.

6. The HE. It may be short but a happy one. I wished they ruled the heavenly realm as a power couple and had twins but that is asking too much .

7. The production. Amazing. Whoever put together this colorful, exciting and fun drama from the tiniest details of the costumes to the props deserves applaud.

The 1 thing I hate about this drama.

1. The haters who tried to sabotage this drama and continually trolled. Thank goodness I did not listen to them otherwise I would have missed this little treasure.

So, give it a try and see if you find 7things to love about this drama too. ?
