(But Riley Wang's stony-faced acting bored me.) I actually felt like Shu Wei put much more effort and heart into their relationship, in trying to understand her, encourage her, and prepare surprises for her. There were some cute moments and some cringey moments but nothing memorable. But to be honest, their relationship is pretty boring. Ye Shu Wei and Bei Er Duo slowly grow to care for each other, and since they are both inexperienced in love, they feel like an even-leveled match despite him being rich and successful. I loved that she was always studying, working hard to improve herself, and wanted to rely on her talent not connections. Bei Er Duo is kind and determined she has a dream of becoming a voice actress and her goal is to study abroad in Japan. Ye Shu Wei (Riley Wang) is a successful and talented violin maker who doesn't like other people, and he grows a lot throughout the show as he begins to care about Bei Er Duo (Zhao Lusi). From episode 17 onward, I felt like the plot lost momentum and then finally, several elements of the final two episodes really bothered me. I personally enjoy the 'pretend couple becomes real' trope.
I enjoyed I Hear You up until episode 17, as a lighthearted drama without any elements that made me angry or annoyed (which feels pretty rare with Chinese modern dramas). This review may contain spoilers *Spoilers are only in the last paragraph, regarding the ending* This drama was sweet in a palatable and soothing way.
The leads communication and sharing of thoughts and dreams were also highlights that i enjoy.Īlthough im not that critical of my rom coms.i want to state that theres alot out there full of fluff, sometimes too cheesy or not believable. The pace and flow was nice and did not felt forced. the subsequent interactions felt very natural. Her mostly cheerful demeanor puts you in good spirits everytime shes on screen.Īlthough the intial set up was typical. Instead shes hardworking and persistently strives to fulfil her dream. She may hav financial difficulties or difficult mother but she doesnt whine, begrudge ohers or dwell on the negatives. That's such a breath of fresh air in a male lead character.who is perceptive, observant, and helps out the female lead in meaningful ways.īei Er Duo is equally well written because they dont dump down her character. Even as it dawns to him Bei Er Duo draws him in and first time in his life another human being's emotions coiud affect his, hes mature in dealing with his burgeoning feelings. Yet when taught and exposed to things he is perceptive and willing to learn and see things in different perspective. He has his principles in life and is focused and perhaps a little rigid at first. He doesnt mingle much but isnt a complete recluse. And its focused on sinplicity of a relationship despite cohabilitation, contract aggrements hijinks. I was pleasantly suprise by how well written the characters are. One may be tempted to include it in your usual romcoms and sometimes rather frivolous plots of youthul romantic C dramas. Rewatch Value 9.0 A story that may check the cliche boxes but stands up n shines on its own by being very grounded, relatable and eveb sensible unlike many of its peers. Because the reality show is faced with the crisis of integrity, Bei Er Duo and Ye Shu Wei start a lively and funny cohabitation life, and spontaneously fell into the fate of a wonderful romance together. Instead, he seeks to identify the person who correctly answered his audition question. In fact, the actual reason that attracted Ye Shu Wei to participate in the show is not his bet with Yu Sheng. He was forced to join the reality program having lost a bet to his nephew Yu Sheng. Ye Shu Wei is from a family of artists and has a low-key, mysterious, and genius character in both the composing and violin industry.
In her desperation to raise funds for studying overseas as well as helping her best friend Tang Li out of a crisis, Bei Er Duo joins a couple reality program, encountering top violin maker Ye Shu Wei. However, her mother wants her to marry rich whilst she is young, leading to continuous blind dates which irritate Bei Er Duo.
Bei Er Duo, a girl from an ordinary family, dreams about studying in Japan to be a professional voice actress.
