Love Endures Reviews

Because of Yang Zi's presence, I took a quick glance and unexpectedly ended up binge-watching two episodes in one go. No one told me beforehand that this drama is so hilarious. To be precise, it's a rollercoaster of emotions, making me both laugh and cry.
It's a fiery youth drama. Zhu Yan Man Zi is also a pleasant surprise. The last time I saw her was on "Actors Please Take Your Place," and her acting skills are solid. The chemistry between her and Yang Zi in their adult scenes is fascinating to watch.
I've realized that actors can elevate each other's performances. When two strong talents come together, it's like 1+1 is greater than 2. I will definitely continue watching this.

As a fellow '90s generation individual, I deeply resonate with this. We grew up together as kids, but after entering society, we unconsciously drifted apart. There was no apparent conflict or argument between us, yet we became increasingly distant and eventually stopped contacting each other.
What was the reason behind it? Perhaps it was because neither of us took the initiative to reach out. It's hard to say. Tonight, after watching this drama, I reflected upon it. Maybe it's because I don't have a friend like Huang Tanzi in my life.
I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Looking forward to updates!

The most heartbreaking thing is that Huang Ying Zi and Fang Ming Yu, who were so close when we were young, can't even have a complete phone conversation now. They're in the same city but don't even know each other's addresses.

We, the young ones, have somehow drifted apart just like them in the drama.
We face setbacks in our careers, frustrations in our work, and endure grievances and hardships in the cold and rigid concrete jungle of the adult world. But whenever we think back to those days as students, those memories of camaraderie and shared experiences, the flickering light shines through, and we take a deep breath, finding the motivation to keep going.
The past cannot be regained, so we must live in the present. The coming and going of friendships is beyond our control, but we hope, just like the song says, "If there comes a day when we can return to glory, remember to find me, my dear friend.

I look forward to seeing the six of them reunite, even if it's just for a moment. Even if the tears no longer well up in our eyes, we can't go too long without embracing each other. I hope we can gently say to each other, "My dearest, long time no see.

The drama's pacing and genre are somewhat different from what I expected: it's not just a typical idol drama, but a blend of youthful memories and urban portrayal. The narrative spans twelve years, intertwining multiple storylines of friendship, love, and family bonds.
Whenever the story shifts to the youthful school days, a rush of nostalgia washes over, bringing a light and pleasant smile to my face. But when it transitions to the present timeline, it evokes a sense of loss and discontent within the adult world.

Huang Yingzi struggles in the pursuit of justice and facing reality, Fang Mingyu wrestles between protecting others and protecting himself, Zhuang Yuan navigates the balance between academic pursuits and personal relationships... Each character must tread their own path in life.
Those moments of surrender, when ideals crumble and they reluctantly bow down to reality, serve as the tumultuous prelude to their lives, the darkness that must be traversed before the dawn.

Together, you are the best of my youth. There's not a single moment I don't miss you." For our generation, our youth is a series of songs by Sun Yanzi, from "Encounter" in 2003 to "Together, You Are the Best of My Youth" in 2014 (remember, it must be sung in Minnan dialect).

Besides the music, the story of F6 also struck a chord with me. It feels like we truly feel the passing of our youth when it starts with an old friend's wedding.

How do we choose between a friend's wedding and a critical moment in our career? It seems like no matter which side we choose, there will be regrets.

I understand the hesitation of each member of F6, but I admire Huang Ying Zi's bravery. She chased after Jiang Yi and took off his helmet, and she shamelessly went to Mingyu's house to invite her to Guan Chao's wedding.
The way I see it, Huang Ying Zi is someone who can't let go of her original intentions, so she chooses to personally break through the deadlocks in her life.

Fortunately, our youth is still good, and our friends are still there. "Remember, there's someone waiting for you at the end of the world. No matter how far the journey, don't hesitate to come back.

It struck a chord with me because in high school, there were also six of us sitting together. Three girls in the front row, and three boys in the back row. We studied together, joked together, and had meals together during our high school days...
After graduating, we stayed in touch quite frequently at first, but gradually, the contact became less frequent, and now we hardly ever communicate. We don't even see each other once a year, even though we all go back to our hometowns almost every year.
It's always difficult to meet up. I really miss the past. I used to play the role of Huang Yingzi, but now I am no longer Huang Yingzi. I can never go back, never go back again...

I love the character development of Huang Dou Jiang. Jiang Yi's cool exterior hides a deep and enduring affection, while Huang Ying Zi possesses an indomitable spirit that grows stronger with every setback.

The romantic storyline is truly captivating.
When they were younger, Huang Ying Zi claimed to like Zhuang Yuan for the sake of their friendship, while Jiang Yi, though not confessing openly, couldn't help but cast a secretive glance in Huang Ying Zi's direction when he said the words "keep it a secret." In their youth, they believed that they had plenty of time, but to their surprise, a momentary missed opportunity led to a 12-year separation...

However, it seems that the destinies of these two individuals have always been intertwined, tightly entwined. When Jiang Yi, against all odds, manages to fulfill Huang Ying Zi's wish and stands before her, their youthful memories come flooding back, and their love is reignited in an instant.
Can't wait for more sweet moments between Huang Dou Jiang!

Impressive. The story unfolds with a dual timeline narrative, contrasting and vividly portraying the different mindsets of each character in different time periods.

The youth and nostalgia storyline is filled with a carefree and pure atmosphere.
Seventeen-year-old Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi, from their favorite literary author to endless conversations as guardian spirits in the ocean world, talk aimlessly without any particular purpose.

The present reality storyline, on the other hand, is filled with the heavy burden of real-life pressures, entangled relationships, unspoken words, and a lack of personal freedom.
Even when 30-year-old Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi reunite after a long separation, they can only say "long time no see" with teary eyes.

The brave Huang Ying Zi acts as the bridge between the two timelines, setting the stage for a reunion twelve years later.
Hopefully, the F6 group will quickly unravel the knots of the past and ensure that the promises of enduring love won't be scattered by the wind.

First of all, the casting feels half-hearted. If they insisted on having Yang Zi in the role, they could have at least chosen someone more suitable for the student era. Secondly, I honestly can't believe how Yang Zi's acting has turned out.
It's just as people online have been criticizing, and her face looks puffy, showing some signs of aging. There's absolutely no chemistry between her and the male lead. Lastly, the plot is genuinely boring, and the editing is quite messy.
It's not surprising that no one is watching it because, honestly, it's unbearable to continue. Even if it received high ratings, it's just not worth the time I wasted!

I'm really disappointed in Zimei. Not only is her acting skills lacking despite being a child star for decades, but her appearance is also getting worse. No wonder the ratings are mysteriously low.
No one wants to pay for such immature acting skills!

It's a downhill slope, and I truly feel frustrated. Zimei, you shouldn't care about your looks anymore. Let's face reality and stop comparing yourself to beautiful women.
Instead, take some acting classes in your spare time. Starting over from scratch is not scary; what's scary is thinking you're excellent when you're actually so terrible.

Listen to the voices of those who love you and stop spoiling Zimei!
Spoiling her is actually harming her! In the next drama, please don't act so arrogantly; it's really taking away from the immersion.

To be honest, I feel a bit embarrassed for Zimei.

I was really looking forward to seeing Huang Yingzi, the senior school sister. It's a pity that I haven't seen Yang Zi in a campus drama. Hopefully, this regret can be filled!
Initially, I was only planning to watch this drama to see what it was about since it was said to be Yang Zi's campus drama. However, it turned out to be unexpectedly fantastic, with seamless transitions and parallel storylines that didn't feel forced at all.
I thought it would be a lighthearted youth-themed drama, but it vividly portrayed the bitterness of adulthood. As we grow older, we become more and more constrained, filled with regrets.
Even those once familiar and intimate gradually drift away. So why do people have to grow up?

It's just laughable, a comedy of the year. The plot is plastic and fake, giving me goosebumps all over. The actors awkwardly perform with their beliefs, like two strangers with different rhythms, awkwardly pretending to be shy young men and women wearing adult clothes.
The filter and airbrushing add a layer of modesty to the youthful dreams, but what comes out is not youth or a sense of chemistry between the characters, but rather forced poses and a task-oriented approach to appeasing children.
It's a juvenile dream for adult viewers. A youth idol drama where youth can be devoid of youthiness and idols can be devoid of idol-like qualities, but fakeness and ugliness are fatal.

Several characters felt forced and familiar - the more I watched, the more speechless I became. The timeline is messed up; "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is from 2005, "Turn Left, Turn Right" is from 2003, and the album "Backlight" is from 2007.
It's a complete mishmash of nostalgic symbols! Not to mention the workplace scenes. Jin Shi Jia, can you please stop playing these self-proclaimed cool guys? And don't even get me started on trying to whitewash a suspected harasser.
Even the guy himself is confused: "How do you know I'm a good person?" Stop being so obsessed!

Childish, a mishmash of elements, and rehashed jokes! Yang Zi is over 30 but keeps playing these mediocre roles. It's a case of "no progress, only regression," comfortably staying within the confines of similar character archetypes.

Fan Cheng Cheng is too ugly; his unattractive appearance is a major turn-off for the male lead. Can't the entertainment industry stop hurting our eyes!

The romantic scenes between Yang Zi and Fan Cheng Cheng are also cringe-worthy.
So now the trend is older woman, younger man couples, right? With an age difference of 5 to 10 years being common. The woman looks old and the man lacks presence, making it awkward and mismatched! If you're going to claim to have the same level of care as Zhou Xun, then an age gap doesn't matter.
Unfortunately, both of them have generic "tech-face" looks combined with stiff performances.

Only Sun Yanzi shines and truly impresses. It's hard to believe she's 46; she takes great care of herself and exudes a natural, refined, and artistic charm.

I usually don't enjoy watching youth dramas because every time I watch them, I feel like other people's youth is dazzling while mine is ordinary. Even though it's just a TV series, every time I watch it, I can't help but reflect on my own life, and it's not a happy feeling, especially when I don't have much to be happy about.
But after watching this drama, I realized that not all youth shines brightly, and there are also regrets. Reunions can be awkward, filled with reluctance, joy, and unfamiliarity. But I also envy the friendship depicted in this drama, and I envy having someone like Huang Ying Zi.
Accompanied by the songs of Stefanie Sun, the story unfolds slowly, especially resonating with my own youth. This is our era's drama.

Yang Zi's dramas have always relied heavily on the male lead. In this drama, there is absolutely no chemistry between her and Fan Cheng Cheng. The age difference is quite significant, and it's really jarring to see a 30-year-old actress portraying a high school student.
I must commend Yang Zi for her courage. Let's talk about her acting. Even with all the childhood filters, it has to be said that her performance in this drama is very poor. Even her once proud crying scenes feel lacking in something.
In recent years, Yang Zi has been thriving in terms of marketing, but it's important to remember that the essence of an actor lies in their acting skills. No matter how good the marketing is, if the fundamental aspect is lost, it will be greatly compromised.
A good actor needs to be able to focus and slowly hone their craft, only then can they have a long-lasting career. Harsh words may be hard to hear, but they benefit growth. I hope Yang Zi will soon find her way back and not prioritize the wrong things.

I don't understand why, as someone who started as a child star, you're still stuck in idol dramas even in middle age. There's a constant stream of ancient, modern, and fantasy dramas. You used to act in war dramas, and your acting was so good back then.
Why have you regressed now? After so many years of acting, shouldn't your skills have improved? Emotional scenes may be captivating, but relying on them alone is not enough. Moreover, every crying scene in your recent dramas is the same, as is the styling.
Please stop marketing yourself as a beauty; it's really not suitable. I hope you can take better care of your physique and your acting skills. Don't act like Qiu Yingying anymore.

Yang Zi's acting is overly formulaic, and Cheng Cheng is even worse. They both have room for improvement. Compared to her appearance in "Longing for Life," Yang Zi has regressed. She's already in her 30s, but her acting hasn't progressed.
It's clear that Director Dan Dan had a good eye back then. It's all the result of fan-driven popularity, and she can definitely step out of her comfort zone.

Furthermore, the drama lacks quality. The scene at the cinema revealed the extreme exaggeration in the performances, and it felt like it was only meant to be viewed through a filter for the fans.

Although I really like Purple Sister, her modern dramas feel quite lackluster to me... Watching this drama is like going to school with full enthusiasm, but as soon as the class starts, I begin to doze off...
Maybe I'm just not the right age to enjoy youth dramas like this. No, that's not it. If I come across a well-written drama with depth, great acting, and a compelling plot, I will still be completely engrossed and reluctant to leave, just like how I initially thought I wasn't suited for sitting in a classroom until I encountered a good teacher who made me listen attentively.
