A Love So Beautiful

Honestly surprised that this show isn't blowing up as much as Meteor Garden 2018 (which was an atrocity).

There is great plot, script, and videography here and best of all, good pacing. There are no unnecessary plot lines and the show was entertaining without being inane. You will find Chen Xiao Xi endearingly naive and silly and Jiang Chen frustratingly intelligent but also emotionally obtuse. The side characters are also lovable and memorable. I actually wished there were more episodes but understand that the story is better off finished than dragged out.

If you enjoy cute romantic dramas with classic tropes, you will like this one.

I've been watching korean dramas for a while and someone recommend A Love So Beautiful to me. It was my first chinese drama. I completely fell in love with this show!! It's a sweet coming of age love story. It has already become one of my favorites and better than some korean shows I've watched lately. All the actors are wonderful. The story is a bit slow at the beginning but it was still very entertaining. I had the biggest grin on my face watching some of the cutee scenes in this show. I loved the characters. The main character Chen Xioaxi has crush on her neighbor since childhood Jiang Chen. She's a naive girl and he's an aloof, anti social guy. The show depicts their relationship from teenage years to adulthood. There were some up and downs but in the end it truly is A Love So Beautiful. If you want to watch a cheesy, cute, funny show this is it. It's also a great show about friendship. Please don't miss out on this amazing show. It's on NETFLIX!!!

I'm glad that Netflix has been getting a lot of television shows from Asia, because there are some terrific shows to be found there. Several months ago I watched the fantastic show "OCTB" from Hong Kong, and recently I have started to watch this particular show from mainland China. I'm not sure what caused me to give it a look, since shows about teenagers and romance don't normally interest me, but I have now watched a third of the episodes, and I am absolutely charmed by this show. It is by no means perfect - there are some (minor) cultural references that don't translate well, and the story moves at a very slow pace. But the show remains buoyant all the same. The characters are not perfect, but you understand and sympathize with them, even if they make on occasions actions that you don't approve of. The issues the characters deal with are universal and understandable whether you're from China or any other country. You also get to learn about what life is like for ordinary Chinese citizens. And the tone of the show is refreshingly low key and warm instead of loud and harsh. I'm very much looking forward to watching the remaining episodes.

Oh this drama hit me like an arrow through the heart. I am a grown ass woman but I'm still touched by this love story. It is for sure a classic Chinese drama, at least when it comes to the theme and the characters. But it has such a wonderful portrait of friendship it actually makes me miss my own friends although I have them close. It's warm and lovely and light and even though it has parts describing loss and sadness it is throughout an amazing love story. Well done!

About a girl who's in love with a guy who initially isn't in love with her. She's so cute and adorable, it's hard not to get into the show and storyline. The characters all did excellent jobs. Highly recommended if you enjoy clean cut teen dramas! It was really great overall.
