Falling Into You

First, I must note that I found this series recommended by viewer ENIGMA05. I find her reviews, at least on c-drama, thorough, binge-watcher-friendly, unbiased and to the point. And you can rely on her ratings. I would never have chosen a film with a sports theme, but gave it a go and, boy, it did deliver on feel-good from the first episode.

Falling into You (26 episodes) offers a straightforward story, great leads, and OST. For me it did not feel like the May-December or Noona romance as the age gap is small. It's only because of their roles (teacher-student) that this becomes "an issue". Both lead actors are well chosen, impressive performance by the male lead. I also liked the theme of friendship explored in the film.

For those who like light rom-coms, but without squeaky female voices or their homes stocked with soft toys (well there were only 2 soft toys, so I consider it progress) or some other annoying depictions of women.

"You made life worth feeling..."

With c dramas it's always tricky, because the majority of them are just not good you will watch a 100 dramas and only one of them will be a true gem, well let me tell you, this one it is!

What a fantastic feel good drama, this is a very well written story, non toxic, inspiring and motivational. The main takeaway? Focus on whatever you want in life and fight hard for it!

The male lead's character is just so genuine, pure and tender. He feels everything so deeply and is passionate and loyal to his emotions. Special mention about the acting of the main lead ( Wang An Yu) and his superb acting ( the way he looks at her is just electrifying). I just have one thing to say: please change his haircut already!!!. This is the 3rd drama I watch of his and he is wearing the same cut, enough is enough.

There's literally ZERO toxic masculinity in this series and I am all for it. They have also written off any gender roles stereotypes and the characters are extremely coherent with their backstory and personalities.

The writers have done a fantastic job avoiding and literally removing any patriarchal bs that you can think of. No clichés either. The relationships shown here are just natural, healthy and mature and in case you are like me, you will enjoy throughly the countless kisses, hugs and kinship on display ( no dead fish kisses), the chemistry here is off the charts and what a believable performance as a couple!

Very underrated, go and watch it, you are missing out.

Oh and what a fantastic OST!!! Loved the songs and all the meaningful lyrics.

I loved this show... loved! It was sweet and romantic and honest. It reminding me of Nothing But You but better. I can't believe I just watched it in 2025, its such an underrated gem.

I loved that it was a romantic drama before it was a sports drama but they still gave a good amount of both. It honestly played like a modern romcom and I found that so cute. And shoutout to the soundtrack, I loved the songs.

The chemistry between the leads was just chef's kiss. I probably rewatched every kissing scene at least five times. Especially the one on on the beach (if you know, you know). But I also loved that it wasn't just about the kisses but the way they talked, played, touched... it was all so believable.

I liked the other characters too, I think they were well developed and that the story didn't use to much cliche plots.

My only con about this show was that the ending felt a bit rushed but regardless I will probably rewatch this show again and again.

I never seen chinese drama before But this series change my whole mindset What a brilliant series could not asked for more this series just get into my head i could not think beyound...10/10 For Casting,Direction,story & Performance..sad its just 26 episode series should be more than 50 epi..usp of the series is "Jin Chen" Yes Both Actors Done tremenddous job The romance,Homour,emotion So beutifuly directed worth watching Truly A Master piece never ever seen such a complete drama I watch it trice the whole series its get into my nerves..and yet like mantion Coch Wu ze & li ge ha ha ha Love U "Jin Chen" Truly A master piece hope story countinou in second season.

I liked it better than most C-Dramas I have seen - the athletic dream theme was excellent. For me the male lead is what made the whole series worth watching was the male lead actor Wang An Yu was cast perfectly as being athletic, handsome, cute, boyish clingy yet manly and able to take control of his relationships and romantic. The thing wrong with this C-Drama IMO is the same thing that is wrong with all of them - the FLA doesn't seem like a good fit for the role to me - not necessarily athletic herself, just didn't have a spark like the MLA. Prefer K-Drama's but watch C-Dramas sometimes but for some reason something missing. Love the MLA though.
