I Know I Love You Reviews

So ambiguous! I'm telling you, don't get too attached! When Zhao Jin helped someone order flowers, did he already have feelings for her? "I'm screaming!" It's so pure and lovely to go out for a meal and take a walk together.
However, with the real-life issues and moral constraints between them, the development of their relationship is bound to be difficult... Sob, sob, sob.

Watched all four episodes in one go. The plot is quite thrilling, and the acting is good. Sun Yi is beautiful, gentle, and sweet. The little cat in it is also very cute and healing. The music composed by Han Hong is truly amazing. Several songs from the drama have already been added to my playlist.
Looking forward to the further development of the plot.

I'm so frustrated. In "Spring Night," the male lead had a child, and that sense of forced maturity and vulnerability in taking care of the child was powerful. The child was adorable and understanding. The three sisters fighting against patriarchy, the female lead's resilience and bravery, and the male lead's cautious testing—all these highlights were completely removed.
They kept the scenes that were copied verbatim. The chemistry between these two actors is also quite weak. All I can see is an inexplicable, excessive, greasy hormone-driven love.

A colleague recommended this drama, but after watching a bit, I have to give it one star. The character setup and plot seem promising, but the acting is truly terrible. The female lead is stiff as if she's been constipated for years, and the male lead, despite claiming to be versatile, can barely manage a faint smile.
Are Chinese actors forbidden from showing too many expressions to avoid wrinkles? I feel like punching someone.

If you've watched the original version, you would know how bad these two actors are... And in the original version, the female lead's boyfriend loved her very much. But in the domestic remake, they completely turned the female lead's boyfriend into a scumbag.
What's the deal? Is it not allowed in China for the female lead to have any negative image? She can't be a third party or have an affair. She must be morally upright, right...

We got completely crushed by the Korean version. There's no comparison, no pain. How confident must the male lead be in himself to repeatedly take on classic remakes?

As for the female lead, I didn't realize how terrible her acting was until I saw the Korean version.
Sorry, but it's just too iconic. By the way, the director and screenwriter are also not on the same level. Theirs is a story with calm surface waters but turbulent undercurrents, while ours is seemingly melodramatic but ultimately bland and tasteless.

The characterizations and storyline feel detached, lacking authenticity. In reality, there can be male third parties or female characters giving up on their ten-year-long boyfriends, but the characters have no expressive power in terms of personality.
The execution of details is poor, and the plot feels rigid, solely serving the purpose of advancing the storyline. There's a lack of life's essence, and it's difficult to imagine what reality would truly look like.
The script is dragging on.

Adding unnecessary details on top of a superb original work, the creators seem to have no understanding of what "undercurrents" mean. Director An is someone who falls in love with just a lingering gaze in the mirror.
Furthermore, if we cover the drama's title, is there a significant difference between how the male lead, a veterinarian, is portrayed compared to his previous role as a doctor with autism?
It feels like a crossover without any distinction, so fans shouldn't blindly claim that it's better than the original version. Enough with the worship.

Marriage that succumbs to reality can be exhausting. The main characters in the drama develop hidden feelings for each other, but they are torn between reason and morality, keeping their emotions "restrained" within their hearts.
This intriguing conflict is quite captivating. Personally, I don't reject this kind of emotional situation, as everyone has the right to pursue a better life.

Even though it was clear from the beginning that it was imitating "Spring Night," the main plot points and lines are practically identical. Is this really okay? Isn't there any suspicion of plagiarism?
All I can say is that after watching this drama, I feel like rewatching "Spring Night" again. The acting skills of the female lead and Han Zhimin are miles apart, like the difference between two ends of a cherry blossom street.

It's been a long time since I've come across a love drama like this. The director is really skilled, and the cinematography and visuals are so comfortable, fantastic, and beautiful. The plot is not dragging, mainly because it's exciting.
Who understands the thrill? It's so addictive! The voices of the main actors are so pleasant and friendly to me. I'm watching it, staying up late to watch it. It's suitable for both men and women dealing with emotions.
Not bad at all. The theme is great! Keep up the good work and don't disappoint me!

The filming is really great! It's been a while since I've seen such an interesting drama. Zhang Wanyi's acting is really commendable. Netizens are right, this guy can play a king with power and wealth, then effortlessly switch to playing a wealthy man, and even throw in an old king role along the way, haha!
His range is so wide! Sun Yi's performance is also excellent. She's so beautiful with long legs and a small face!

The localization is actually fine, adaptation is fine too, having a different atmosphere is also fine, I can accept all that. But the most important thing is to grasp the core of the original. Directors and screenwriters, please go back and study reading comprehension.
If you think the censorship won't tolerate these core elements, then I suggest not making it. There's no need, you can just go and make an idol drama. The male lead looks numb, the female lead is expressionless. They're not in love, they're acting like they're in love while working.

The progression of this drama is a bit inexplicable... The development between these two characters is quite fast... Although I think the background music is okay, it feels oddly inserted. I just took a glance at it earlier, and why is it that the shots of the female lead and her best friend carrying things are so staged?
And the male lead is dragging his feet, he can't even open his eyes, so stiff.

I really like it. There's no deliberate soft lighting, and even in the straightforward everyday scenes, you can feel the underlying tension between the male and female leads.

I haven't seen Sun Yi's dramas before, but in this one, every turn and glance of hers captures her inner conflict perfectly.
She's truly a talented actress. And Zhang Wan Yi, needless to say, portrays "betrayal" with great dramatic intensity beneath his serious appearance.

The soundtrack is also amazing. It's not just Sun Yi and Zhang Wan Yi who are moved by the music.

This adaptation has made some more locally focused changes in the background, and the female characters are portrayed with depth and complexity. As I immerse myself in the female lead's perspective, if it were the original male lead, I might hesitate and consider him just a passing presence in my life.
But with this version, I must say, come and flirt with me—I don't mind a bit of forbidden fruit! (covers face) It may be "immoral," but it warms the heart on these cold winter days.

Please update quickly! Just finished binge-watching this drama. It's an incredibly captivating domestic romance series that I haven't seen in a long time.

It feels very authentic, and the acting is superb.
Zhang Wanyi and Sun Yi both manage to maintain their individual identities while being in love. Fantastic!

The role of Chunye, played by Bai Yueguang, is not easy to portray. If it wasn't for Zhang Wanyi, I definitely wouldn't have watched it. I couldn't watch it at all before.

But after watching two episodes, I feel it's okay. It's not awkward, and it doesn't have the floating feeling of a workplace drama. I hope the plot won't be as drawn-out as the Korean version in the later episodes.

I want something sweet in the middle of winter.

The so-called director's use of camera angles and music to create the atmosphere is a blatant copycat of "Spring Night." The male lead's performance is decent, as if he has extensively studied the acting style of Ding Haiyin.
However, Sun Yi doesn't resemble the original female protagonist at all, and her lines are all delivered in a clunky manner. The parts they copied have a touch of Ahn Pan-sik's essence, but the parts they couldn't replicate exude a strong sense of cheap and low-quality domestic production.

One star goes to Zhang Wanyi. It's a common problem in Chinese dramas to create unnecessary conflicts between the male and female leads. They insist on portraying a female lead who lacks manners, and even when the male lead kindly cleans her wound for free, he gets criticized.
Which female lead behaves so rudely? It's truly misleading for young viewers in terms of how to conduct themselves.

In order to make the male and female leads look good, current domestic TV dramas have disregarded the rationality of the plot. Although it's a drama with a realistic theme, various details are not well-executed.
For example, the female lead gets scratched by a cat, leaving three distinctive marks that are unusually far apart. Is this the doing of a tiger? What kind of cat can scratch like that?

Xu Nuo and Peng Yu'an have been in love for ten years, and their emotional bond runs deep. Xu Nuo's transformation in these ten years has left me with mixed feelings. Sometimes I wonder if two people who have been in a relationship for ten years without getting married should break up.
Is love more important than compatibility? It's really difficult to make that choice!

The title of the drama is already quite tacky, and the OST sounds like a sprinkler on a rainy day. By removing the original family members and the underlying sense of oppression, the starting point for the characters' emotional changes loses its logical thinking and struggle.
It's no different from animals displaying courtship behaviors. They added original characters, but they are just clichéd and melodramatic like in countless other international dramas.

Zhao Jin is quite skilled. He teased Xu Nuo right after their first meeting, secretly checked her social media posts, and smoothly took the opportunity to order flowers for her.
It was warm and amusing. Unfortunately, Zhao Jin has his own emotional baggage. Just one sentence, "I've been divorced," made it really hard for Xu Nuo to open up completely.

What I love the most is Zhao Jin's sense of responsibility and Xu Nuo's resilience. They don't shy away from problems and don't hesitate to find solutions.
They grow together, and each person is searching for someone who can make them better. It's this kind of emotional connection that feels grounded and truly touches people!

Every episode gets me so excited in bed that I twist like a qū (not kidding, as a Chinese person, it's really amazing)???? When the main characters have intense conflicts, the background music kicks in, ah, ah, ah! It's thrilling.
The white turns black, the scheming emerges, the green tea (deceptive) character, and the adorable puppy—who wouldn't love them?

Why did the first episode progress so quickly???? The boyfriend's mother is on the female lead's side. The background music has that vibe, but the performances don't quite match. The character doesn't feel like a male "third party," more like an underground agent.
Sun Yi's acting is good. It's not as infuriating as the original version, but it's still a bit bland, just like the original.

The tension between the male and female leads is off the charts. They haven't done much, but it feels like they've done everything. The background music is incredibly well-matched!
It's so engaging and perfect for winter nights. Every day after watching, my brain is so exhilarated that I can't fall asleep.

How did this thing pass censorship? Isn't love at first sight just shallow attraction? In real life, believing the words of a divorced man like the male lead would lead to being deceived and losing everything. What's the point of making a drama like this?

I couldn't continue watching "Spring Night" back then. I don't know why, but I found the female lead quite annoying. However, Sun Yi here looks gorgeous, and it's believable that the male lead would be smitten with her at first sight.
The characters of the main leads have been idealized, and they're not as morally ambiguous as I thought. I feel that Zhang Wanyi's acting skills in emotional scenes still need further improvement.

Oh my goodness, why do all the scenes and lines of every character feel so contrived, as if everyone knows something is about to happen between them? And the portrayal of the malicious female antagonist from a wealthy family is so cliché.
I would only give this plot one star at most, but I have to admit that I quite like the appearances of Sun Yi and Zhang Wanyi. Adding an extra star would be generous enough.

It's enjoyable to watch. Zhang Wanyi's acting skills are excellent, and the male lead is handsome while the female lead is beautiful. Moreover, I personally think this drama has a good moral compass. What's wrong with cutting losses in a timely manner?
And that "Spring Night" drama, it's not good either, so long-winded. Why do people want to criticize for the sake of criticism? It's making even a bystander like me rebel.

Chinese dramas still feel light and fluffy like plastic bags, but the chemistry between the male and female leads in this drama is good for my eyes. The atmospheric background music is also decent, making it a beautifully packaged bag.
I give it 3 stars. However, I've seen the original version of "Spring Night," so I can't give it more than 2 stars.

Everything from the plot to the music is so Korean. In other words, it's a heavily template-driven idol drama that deceives people with false advertising. Perhaps it's love at first sight. Perhaps it's just being straightforward.
Perhaps it's my preconceived notions. However, Zhang Wanyi does have moments where there's a touch of sweetness, and there are suitable scripts. You can give it a try, like "Please Have a Meal, Beautiful Sister," a puppy-like romance with an age gap.

The guy with small eyes and a stiff face is so ugly. It seems like he has a lot of fans... It's only been two days since it aired, and many people who claim to have watched it keep leaving comments under related videos, saying how great it is.
But upon closer scrutiny, it's clear that they're just trying to deceive others with false advertising.

I'll give it a tentative 3.5 stars. I had a rough idea of what to expect, but I'm afraid the ending might not deliver. I'm prepared to bail out anytime. The drama's insert songs, color palette, and cinematography are all outstanding.
It might be the biggest winner in terms of aesthetics this year. Sun is alright, but Zhang is just wooden... There's no chemistry between the two leads, and their eye contact feels off.

Not good-looking, bad acting, and poorly made. They used "Spring Night" as a gimmick, but honestly, it would have been better if they didn't promote it with "Spring Night" because the difference is really significant.
The director can't capture the interaction and chemistry between the male and female leads, nor can they portray those scenes of heart-fluttering and conflicted emotions during the nights.
The male lead is the most disappointing, stiff and with very poor acting skills, while at least the female lead is pretty.

Director An Panxi's "Spring Night" is hard to surpass. The ambiguous emotions that occur when the eyes of a man and a woman meet, accompanied by the perfect background music, create an irresistible charm of spring.
Although the remake version tries to replicate as much as possible (even selecting locations similar to the original), it feels awkward. Even though I really like actress Zhang Wanyi, I cannot sincerely praise this failed remake.
