Zhang Wanyi, you handsome devil, you leave no room for escape! Who wouldn't get confused encountering someone like Zhao Jin?
If I keep smiling foolishly every time I see Zhao Jin, will I just become more ridiculous? Jin, go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll be the guard at the door of this citrus fortress, watching out for you.

It appears to be a modern adult urban romance drama, but the combination of the screenwriter and director seems a bit confused. After watching a few episodes, the chairman and director seem to have some chemistry, and the script flows smoothly and naturally. I can tell that you're a fan of "Spring Night" (from an avid viewer who has watched it six times).

Wow! The first episode had such a captivating and ambiguous tension. The corners of my mouth didn't come down once! The moment the male and female leads locked eyes, it felt incredibly sweet, as if their gaze did all the talking! It's absolutely irresistible! The pacing of the storyline is also excellent, I couldn't stop watching! Both the male and female leads displayed great acting skills and were able to immerse the viewers. It's a delightful surprise that exceeded my expectations!

I initially didn't have high hopes for this drama, thinking it probably wouldn't be well-executed. However, after watching the first two episodes, it completely exceeded my expectations. The pacing is not dragging at all, and it feels very comfortable. The music is perfectly matched, and the filter used gives a gentle touch. The character designs of the male and female leads are quite appealing to me. I will continue watching and hope it gets even better!

The environmental portrayal is exquisitely crafted, conveying certain intentions. For example, the snowy landscapes of the harsh winter not only showcase their beauty and romance, but also symbolize the poignant journey of promises and genuine emotions between Xu Nuo and Zhao Jin. Bound by moral constraints, their relationship faces the dilemma of which path to take... It's a rather unique Chinese romance drama.

The pacing of the plot is very comfortable, neither too fast nor too slow. The music is artistic, and there are also some funny scenes. Zhang Wanyi, the male lead, really knows how to portray a lover. The ambiguous and tense atmosphere between him and the female lead is captivating. It feels so genuine. Currently, my liking for this drama is at its peak.

First of all, the male lead is handsome and the female lead is beautiful, which is really pleasing to the eye.

It exceeded my expectations! I initially thought that the remake wouldn't capture the same atmosphere as the Korean version. However, everything from the actors' appearances, acting skills, dialogues, and the engaging storyline, to the ambient background music, was incredibly satisfying. The aerial shots were also incredibly beautiful. It's impressive when actors from art films take on directing roles—there's truly something special about it. The emotions are delicate and gentle, and the pacing is tight and smooth. Zhang Wanyi has reached new heights of handsomeness in this drama, with his pleasant voice and gentle tone. As a fan of his voice, I'm overjoyed. What should I do about becoming a fan of both Sun Yi and Zhang Wanyi? Their chemistry is simply irresistible!

The relationship between Xu Nuo and her boyfriend feels like "tasteless food that's a pity to waste." They accommodate and tolerate each other, but the arrival of Dr. Zhao disrupts this equilibrium. The struggle and turmoil among the three characters should be the driving force throughout the entire drama. I'm planning to invest my time and money to follow it closely.

The story setup is very captivating. Within the conflict between emotions and moral reasoning, the heartaches, struggles, and dilemmas of both the male and female leads are perfectly portrayed in the plot.

Oh my goodness! It's so addictive and captivating! Please let them be together! I binge-watched eight episodes in one night, it's incredibly engaging, very much so (I glanced at the comments, many people gave it one star, I don't know who they offended. Among Chinese dramas, this show doesn't deserve just one star no matter how you look at it. I can only say that some people are being unreasonable and overly critical). Just watch it for yourselves, and you'll see that the acting and dialogue are really impressive!

Romance and the weariness of mundane reality always intertwine and clash with each other. On one hand, there's the struggle and confusion in reality, and on the other hand, there's the quietly blossoming affection.

It's not just sweet words, but also the commitment and sacrifices made in the midst of a heavy snowfall. However, the most captivating aspect of the drama is the "cool" atmosphere, which precisely captures that sense of taboo.

Spring Citrus1 year ago rating:5.6
The most noticeable change from the original Korean drama, where the characters were a pharmacist and a librarian, to a pet doctor and a floral artist, is that it instantly became more bourgeois. It's hard to feel any hardships in their lives, and the underlying tone of the story has become light and airy, making the two characters seem unsatisfied. In the context of the Korean drama original, life is so oppressive and there's almost nowhere to escape except into love. This kind of story isn't achieved by simply showcasing coffee shop-style English songs and beautiful scenery. It's about delving into the depth of emotions, not just indulging in bourgeois sentiments and romanticizing everything. The key issue lies in the lack of chemistry between the two characters. Even though Sun Yi is beautiful enough to inspire love at first sight, it's still difficult to understand why such a self-assured man would flirt with her despite knowing she has a boyfriend. It feels like the pursuit of a fast-paced narrative and sweet moments has flattened the layers of emotions. In reality, it's the restraint that is the most moving aspect.

To be fair, "Spring Night" and this drama can't be said to be exactly the same, they're completely different. Director Lu seems to have a romantic allergy, as he makes it as unattractive as possible. The main actors all have the tired and sleepy aura of overworked office workers, except for Zhang Wan Yi, who, as the only one not deprived of proper nutrition, tries to liven up the atmosphere. However, I don't know if he's just too used to being the male lead, but that irresistible urge to express his feelings has turned into a self-absorbed male character who harasses others with the assumption, "I guess she must be interested in me.

What happened to the news anchor sister who was a victim of domestic violence in the original version? In the original, the female lead had a repressed family background, and she couldn't resist the arranged boyfriend her parents had chosen for her. It wasn't until she met the male lead that she started to rebel. At the same time, the other two sisters of the female lead also faced issues of wanting to break free from their families. For example, the eldest sister wanted to divorce her abusive husband. The love story between the male and female leads was not just about adultery and betrayal, but also about issues related to parent-child relationships and the original family. The remake completely failed to capture that essence and instead changed it to the female lead's boyfriend cheating, so she also cheats with the male lead. This reason is truly laughable.

The performances of Zhang Wanyi and Sun Yi are not as delicate and touching as those of Han Jimin and Jung Hae In.

I've watched two episodes and it's not working for me. The male and female leads fail to portray the ambiguous yet restrained state of adult relationships.

The director is also making an effort to create an atmosphere, but unfortunately, it's not enough to draw me into the story.

Well shot, but it's too similar to the Korean drama "Spring Night" that I watched before. The background music, scenery, camera angles, and even the lines are all too alike. Is that okay?! Even if it's a remake, they shouldn't just copy the original exactly. The key is the acting and the plot, and they fall far behind in those aspects. I instantly feel embarrassed. I'm going to rewatch "Spring Night.

What kind of "tea" is Zhao Jin? I'm truly amazed. When Xu Nuo saw his boyfriend walking with someone else while sitting in Zhao Jin's car, Zhao Jin made sure to emphasize it for Xu Nuo to see. The tension in that moment, who understands it? But most of the time, both Zhao Jin and Xu Nuo are more reserved. Sun Yi's several eye contacts with Zhao Jin truly give a feeling of silent communication being more powerful than words.

The pacing of this drama is a bit inexplicable. The relationship between these two characters is progressing quite quickly. Although I think the BGM is decent, it feels oddly inserted. I haven't watched the Korean version of "Spring Night." I just checked it out, and why is it that in the beginning, when the female lead and her best friend are carrying things, it looks like they're just pretending? In the Korean version, you can tell that the items they're carrying are actually quite heavy, but in the Chinese version, it's just a flimsy paper bag.

I watched "Spring Night" because I saw the trailer, and I had high expectations for this drama. However, in my opinion, it falls short compared to "Spring Night." The character development in "Spring Night" itself had a lot of dramatic tension, but in the domestic version, that tension is lost... Additionally, Sun Yi's performance feels very deliberate and unnatural. The chemistry between the two leads is also lacking. I'm a bit disappointed.

Regarding the criticism faced by this drama from so-called Chunye fans, as a fan of Chunye, I'd like to say a few words. The core essence of the drama remains similar to Chunye's, but it has undergone localized adaptations. The pacing has become faster, and the backgrounds of the male and female leads have been altered to make it more relatable to our domestic audience. The female lead exhibits more feminine strength, while the male lead is even more charming, seductive, and aggressive. I was initially apprehensive about Zhang Wanyi taking on such a theme because we all associate him with serious dramas. However, it has surpassed my expectations. Zhang Wanyi's expressions are incredibly captivating, and Sun Yi looks mature and sweet. The push-and-pull dynamics between the male and female leads are intense. As a Chunye fan, this is a delightful surprise for me as I'm a fan of both actors! (Back when I watched Chunye, my biggest complaint was whether domestic productions dared to make such dramas. Just tweak the character settings a bit and take a look at the ambiguous push-and-pull portrayed by Korean dramas. That's what truly evokes emotions.)

The remake version fails to capture the beauty and atmospheric essence of the original. In the Korean version, there were so many people playing basketball, and the distance was just right to create that accidental glimpse and heart-skipping moment. But in the domestic entertainment version, who would encounter their crush in the midst of a gruesome wrestling match? The eye contact and interaction between the main characters lack naturalness. I can't feel the subtle ambiguity, not even a noticeable difference in body types. It's really hard to get into it!

I've watched two episodes, and it's pretty good. Zhang Wanyi and Sun Yi both have acting skills and a strong chemistry. The ambiguous romantic scenes of love at first sight are fantastic.

Adults should watch adult-oriented dramas. The adult world is not solely black or white, nor is it filled with innocence and naivety.

The chemistry between the two leads is really mysterious. Zhang Wanyi and Sun Yi, both attractive individuals, sitting together but their eye contact feels forced, lacking any hint of ambiguity. The screenwriter either directly copies the lines from the Korean version or randomly adapts them. The father of the male lead is an alcoholic, and yet the male lead falls in love at first sight after smelling a strong alcoholic scent on the female lead during their first meeting? Where's the logic? There are too many flaws, and it seems like the screenwriter has no idea what being subtle means. Each scene feels rushed, as if they didn't pay enough attention to the details and just hastily sketched the outline. There's nothing substantial or fleshed out inside... Hopefully, Zhang Wanyi will choose a better script for her next project.

There is no background history for the characters, and the excessive airbrushing only adds to the sense of emptiness and detachment. It's a disaster. The emotional setup on the female side is extremely formulaic, with a relationship that seems destined to break up, solely for the purpose of paving the way for the romance between the leads. It's all so boring and doesn't do justice to Zhang Wanyi's performance.

The quality is so poor, the music is randomly inserted, the characters' motivations are completely altered, and the pacing of the dialogue is strange. The boyfriend of the female lead in "Spring Night" is quite similar to the character Xi Bing in "Flower Fragrance." He didn't commit any major mistakes, and his purpose was to showcase the moral dilemma of the female lead. However, the boyfriend of the female lead in this drama, right from the first episode, makes you feel like he deserves to be dumped, rationalizing the motivation for the male and female leads to be together... Zhang Wanyi is still quite handsome, and he manages to deliver lines that have no sense of boundaries without being greasy.

After watching two episodes, I have to say, even though Yuan Wenkang has a scumbag face, he's really handsome! Unfortunately, he's the second male lead. I can only smile as I watch the two main characters face family challenges and emotional conflicts together.
From the perspective of the protagonist, there is mutual care and support between them, and it can be anticipated that they will ultimately overcome difficulties and be together.
But I only love the second male lead! Ahhh!
Well shot, but it's too similar to the Korean drama "Spring Night" that I watched before. The background music, scenery, camera angles, and even the lines are all too alike. Is that okay?! Even if it's a remake, they shouldn't just copy the original exactly.
The key is the acting and the plot, and they fall far behind in those aspects. I instantly feel embarrassed. I'm going to rewatch "Spring Night.
2023's Mediocre and Boring Modern Drama: The Final Episode. Even the portrayal of women's emotional struggles is so superficial and rigid that it fails to evoke any interest or anger. Please stop filming. The acting is so mediocre and stiff, and the script is equally mediocre and stiff.
What kind of "tea" is Zhao Jin? I'm truly amazed. When Xu Nuo saw his boyfriend walking with someone else while sitting in Zhao Jin's car, Zhao Jin made sure to emphasize it for Xu Nuo to see. The tension in that moment, who understands it?
But most of the time, both Zhao Jin and Xu Nuo are more reserved. Sun Yi's several eye contacts with Zhao Jin truly give a feeling of silent communication being more powerful than words.
The pacing of this drama is a bit inexplicable. The relationship between these two characters is progressing quite quickly. Although I think the BGM is decent, it feels oddly inserted.
I haven't watched the Korean version of "Spring Night." I just checked it out, and why is it that in the beginning, when the female lead and her best friend are carrying things, it looks like they're just pretending?
In the Korean version, you can tell that the items they're carrying are actually quite heavy, but in the Chinese version, it's just a flimsy paper bag.
Shouldn't we stop here...?" The mysterious opening, told in a retrospective manner, brings some surprises in depicting the story between the main characters. It piques one's interest and compels them to question the reasons behind it, creating a sense of suspense.
I watched "Spring Night" because I saw the trailer, and I had high expectations for this drama. However, in my opinion, it falls short compared to "Spring Night." The character development in "Spring Night" itself had a lot of dramatic tension, but in the domestic version, that tension is lost...
Additionally, Sun Yi's performance feels very deliberate and unnatural. The chemistry between the two leads is also lacking. I'm a bit disappointed.
Zhang Wanyi, you've got some skills... You know how to choose your roles (´▽`) Who was eagerly anticipating this? Turns out it was me ⁄(⁄
⁄⁄ω⁄⁄⁄)⁄ I've watched the first few episodes, and this seemingly chaotic drama actually has a structure, and it's quite refined!
The cinematography and OST are impressive as well. Four stars for now, I'll keep observing!
Regarding the criticism faced by this drama from so-called Chunye fans, as a fan of Chunye, I'd like to say a few words. The core essence of the drama remains similar to Chunye's, but it has undergone localized adaptations.
The pacing has become faster, and the backgrounds of the male and female leads have been altered to make it more relatable to our domestic audience. The female lead exhibits more feminine strength, while the male lead is even more charming, seductive, and aggressive.
I was initially apprehensive about Zhang Wanyi taking on such a theme because we all associate him with serious dramas. However, it has surpassed my expectations. Zhang Wanyi's expressions are incredibly captivating, and Sun Yi looks mature and sweet.
The push-and-pull dynamics between the male and female leads are intense. As a Chunye fan, this is a delightful surprise for me as I'm a fan of both actors! (Back when I watched Chunye, my biggest complaint was whether domestic productions dared to make such dramas.
Just tweak the character settings a bit and take a look at the ambiguous push-and-pull portrayed by Korean dramas. That's what truly evokes emotions.)
The remake version fails to capture the beauty and atmospheric essence of the original. In the Korean version, there were so many people playing basketball, and the distance was just right to create that accidental glimpse and heart-skipping moment.
But in the domestic entertainment version, who would encounter their crush in the midst of a gruesome wrestling match? The eye contact and interaction between the main characters lack naturalness. I can't feel the subtle ambiguity, not even a noticeable difference in body types.
It's really hard to get into it!
I burst into tears laughing while watching the first episode today. The scene where Xu Nuo and Zhao Jin were washing their wounds at the pet shop was so sweet. It's like a healing candy for emotions, truly sweet to the core!
The delicate love they have, the feeling they have to hide, it really immerses you in the story!
When Zhao Jin was tending to Xu Nuo's wound, it was really heartwarming. Zhao Jin, the green tea puppy, is truly skilled! Xu Nuo's apologies, rejections, and self-reflection were also very impactful. Both of them have their own issues to confront, especially Xu Nuo...
I really love the chasing scene in the bridal shop, it was so dreamy!
I've watched two episodes, and it's pretty good. Zhang Wanyi and Sun Yi both have acting skills and a strong chemistry. The ambiguous romantic scenes of love at first sight are fantastic.
However, the emotions in this drama are more about the release after suppression, which seems to reflect the common emotional state of young men and women in today's society.
Adults should watch adult-oriented dramas. The adult world is not solely black or white, nor is it filled with innocence and naivety. This kind of portrayal of the complexities and atmosphere among adults is exceptional.
The subtle expressions and eye contact between the male and female leads are well-crafted and captivating. I'll definitely continue following this series—it's really enjoyable to watch.
The overall style is quite refreshing and lovely. The extreme ambiguity and tension between adults, combined with the sense of taboo and drama in their predicament, make it captivating to watch. The kissing scenes between the two leads are also very well done.
The director knows how to capture those moments, and the casting is also very suitable! Winter is the perfect time to watch interesting romantic dramas!
Every character is well-developed, and each one is struggling in the whirlpool of love, yet they maintain their dignity. Especially the inner conflict of the second male lead made me realize that love, in fact, is not that simple.
It's about finding a balance between reality and emotions.
I'm truly amazed by Peng Yu'an! He's a combination of cold violence and chauvinism, always wanting the best of both worlds. Being in a relationship for ten years but never willing to promise marriage, it's truly mind-boggling. However, the actors portrayed their roles incredibly well.
Otherwise, how could Xu Nuo and our beloved Wanyi brother have any interaction or spark between them?
Oh my goodness! It's finally airing! The CP (couple pairing) with high visuals is incredible, and the emotionally charged storyline is so exciting! Xiao Wan is truly suitable for portraying this forbidden love drama, and his new look is super handsome.
Sun Yi, the female lead, is also stunning! I love the plot, and I'm looking forward to the future development of this couple's story.
The chemistry between the two leads is really mysterious. Zhang Wanyi and Sun Yi, both attractive individuals, sitting together but their eye contact feels forced, lacking any hint of ambiguity.
The screenwriter either directly copies the lines from the Korean version or randomly adapts them. The father of the male lead is an alcoholic, and yet the male lead falls in love at first sight after smelling a strong alcoholic scent on the female lead during their first meeting?
Where's the logic? There are too many flaws, and it seems like the screenwriter has no idea what being subtle means. Each scene feels rushed, as if they didn't pay enough attention to the details and just hastily sketched the outline.
There's nothing substantial or fleshed out inside... Hopefully, Zhang Wanyi will choose a better script for her next project.
I've watched the first four episodes attentively, and honestly, this drama has it all: talented actors, aesthetic appeal, and a captivating atmosphere. It's something I rarely see in mainland Chinese dramas. You can tell that the director and screenwriter put a lot of effort into it, and the actors are excellent with their performances.
The dialogue is well-written, and the selected OST fits the drama perfectly. It's definitely a drama that I can rewatch multiple times in the future.
Oh my goodness, Zhang Wanyi is truly perfect for this kind of forbidden love filled with a sense of immorality. It's addictive, it's captivating! I couldn't stop watching after finishing four episodes in one go!
The background music is really amazing too. When the battle song plays, love takes the stage!
The director wanted to convey a lot, and the visual style is the most direct representation. The overall portrayal captures the atmosphere of inner conflict and confusion, making it easy to immerse oneself in the characters' emotional world.
There's a fire burning inside, but it's deeply suppressed.
The drama feels forced and dull. A bunch of inexplicable coincidences are thrown together, and all the main actors seem like they were airdropped in with predetermined character settings.
There is no background history for the characters, and the excessive airbrushing only adds to the sense of emptiness and detachment. It's a disaster. The emotional setup on the female side is extremely formulaic, with a relationship that seems destined to break up, solely for the purpose of paving the way for the romance between the leads.
It's all so boring and doesn't do justice to Zhang Wanyi's performance.
After watching the first four episodes, I feel that the localization is quite successful, and the topics are very realistic. I've known many stories of long-distance relationships that didn't end well. I really like the atmosphere created by the background music, as well as the tension between Zhang Wanyi (Zhao Jin) and Sun Yi (Xu Nuo).
It feels like every line of dialogue is hinting at something. The process of following the story is really captivating.
Is love really that complicated? Let's play Jay Chou's "Love, It's Simple." Love is simple, nothing can stop it when it comes.
The quality is so poor, the music is randomly inserted, the characters' motivations are completely altered, and the pacing of the dialogue is strange. The boyfriend of the female lead in "Spring Night" is quite similar to the character Xi Bing in "Flower Fragrance." He didn't commit any major mistakes, and his purpose was to showcase the moral dilemma of the female lead.
However, the boyfriend of the female lead in this drama, right from the first episode, makes you feel like he deserves to be dumped, rationalizing the motivation for the male and female leads to be together... Zhang Wanyi is still quite handsome, and he manages to deliver lines that have no sense of boundaries without being greasy.
