Love Endures Reviews

I'm going to go bald from laughing at the chemistry between Huang Ying Zi and Zhuang Yuan. They both beat around the bush when asking about their crushes, afraid to make it too obvious, but also afraid the other person will notice.
Their level of understanding is truly remarkable, having been friends since childhood. Haha!

I got hooked after watching a segment, and it really hit me, especially since I'm a 90s kid. There were many relatable points that resonated with me. Yang Zi and Fan Cheng Cheng both delivered great performances, and both storylines were well done.
It's worth watching. Giving a rating should be based on genuine feelings after watching, instead of misleading others. Perhaps those who criticize are just afraid that their own family's cooking skills are not as good as the actors in the drama.

Yang Zi's exaggerated acting skills, with her facial features all over the place and rough body movements, make Qiu Yingying version 2.0 tiresome to watch. Moreover, her face appears stiff in this drama.
Fan Cheng Cheng has an excessively long face, and even with bangs, it only makes it longer. Neither of them looks like high school students. It seems like they are trying to create a trendy drama, but their looks are unappealing to the point of being ugly.

I just can't bear to watch such a boring storyline! The female lead's plastic surgery face is so out of place, her facial expressions while speaking are incredibly unnatural, and when she smiles, it's like a face made of plastic.
The value of an actor lies in their natural authenticity, and it's a shame considering how adorable she was when she was younger.

First there was Wenli, and now there's Ziyatou. Please, don't cast a 30-year-old woman to play a teenage girl. Acting like a crazy and silly lady doesn't equate to being cute like a young girl.
It's too jarring and FCC (Fan Culture Committee) is practically an occupational hazard. Fortunately, Ziyatou didn't go as far as sticking her fingers up her nose. Thank goodness.

As an 80s-born individual, watching this drama really brings back nostalgic memories of my youth. When the voice of Sun Yanzi's singing resounded, it felt like my entire youth came rushing back.
The storytelling, with its dual timelines, was brilliantly executed by Yang Zi, capturing both the feelings of being 18 and 30 years old. There were tears and laughter, and the overall quality was exceptional.
I highly recommend it.

Zi, you still love playing the female lead so much. Zi, you're in your thirties now, can you stop playing school dramas...? Can't you let younger girls in their twenties play these roles better...?
Also, one thing is, after looking at the cast list of this drama, there is absolutely no chemistry between any of them...

I've reached the latest updates and I'll give a brief review. Purple Sister's acting skills are just average, with plenty of room for improvement. It seems a bit stiff to watch, and Purple Sister could try some new genres.
After all, she's in her thirties and not suitable for those romantic love roles anymore. Keep up the good work and strive for better!

I've watched the first seven episodes, and I just can't bear to continue. It's so cringeworthy! Honestly, when it comes to portraying the school years, couldn't they learn from "You Are My Sunshine" and cast younger actors?
The obvious cosmetic enhancements on Yang Zi's face are distracting, and her performance is over-the-top. No one would enjoy watching a high school student like this!

Huang Ying Zi, as the core character in the drama, handles the interactions between each character and the transitions between the 18-year-old and 30-year-old versions remarkably well.
The director's smooth transitions are seamless and the plot is tight without any dragging moments.

The drama is packed with intricate details. I initially thought it would be a simple nostalgic youth film, but it turned out to have so many twists and details. The story follows both the characters' high school days and their lives at thirty seamlessly, with smooth transitions between scenes.
Yang Zi's acting skills are outstanding, and she portrays her character with great delicacy.

Everlasting Love begins by depicting the stark contrast in growth between Huang Ying Zi and her space city companions. As youth fades away and adulthood takes over, the story delves into the hardships and bitterness that come with growing up and working.
It highlights the struggle of justice being denied and the need for adults to learn to endure, realizing that they can never return to the carefree days of their youth.

The psychology of the bystanders is to see a lot of negative reviews criticizing Yang Zi and then out of curiosity, they want me to see how bad it really is. But after watching it, not only is it not bad, but it's actually better than most of the domestic dramas out there.
Although it may not reach the level of top-tier quality, it's definitely worth four stars. I'm giving it five stars because there are too many negative reviews, and I don't want bad reviews to overshadow the good ones.

Yang Zi is not suitable for this role, and there is no romantic chemistry between her and Cheng Cheng. Previously, she had good chemistry with Li Xian in "Ashes of Love," "Go Ahead," and "The Oath of Love," which were all well-received by Xiao Zhan's fans.
Maybe this time she is playing a high school student, but Zi Mei (referring to Yang Zi) is already too old for that role, giving off a feeling of being childish and unreasonable, similar to the character she played in "Ode to Joy.

I watched the sixth episode today, and throughout the drama, I kept thinking about my best friend from high school. She also grew up in a residential area of a factory, just like Huang Ying Zi and her friends, with a tight-knit group of childhood friends.
This drama really resonates with me, and I just hope that Hang Tiancheng and F6 can quickly resolve their emotional baggage and continue their friendship from their youth!

Even if Zhuang Yuan didn't attend the wedding, I can understand. After all, he has worked so hard for years to secure his future. But he still came because, in his heart, his good buddy's wedding was the most important thing.
Hopefully, Zhuang Yuan will also find his own happiness. I really like his character and wish I could jump into the screen and go on a blind date with him. KK.

The character development is not thorough enough. Although there are many characters in the drama, the personalities and experiences of many characters are not fully portrayed, resulting in shallow and uncharismatic character images.
Additionally, the transition between different time periods feels abrupt and out of place, especially with the high school setting.

Fang Yueqiao's crying scenes were incredible. At Guan Chao's wedding, Lan Yifei held back her tears, keeping them in her eyes without letting them fall. The look in her eyes as she gazed at everyone seemed like she wanted to deeply etch them into her heart...
This kind of restrained crying scene is even more moving than crying out loud.

No, can't Chinese actresses in their 30s stop pretending to be young? Don't you see the effect for yourself? Even Liu Xiaoqing received a lot of criticism when she played a young girl. You don't even have Liu Laolao's acting skills.
It's ridiculous to see actresses in historical dramas wearing heavy makeup and using heavy filters to portray themselves as 28-year-old girls. They dare to do this even without AI face-swapping technology.
It's laughable.

Why do people compare this drama to "1988"? I decided to check it out and I was completely disappointed. The appearance of the characters is really hard to believe that they are students.
This alone makes it incomparable to "1988". Trying to ride on the coattails of "1988" when it doesn't even deserve 3 out of 10 is just absurd.

The dual timeline allows us to witness the growth of each character and the actors' grasp of their roles. The contrast between innocence and maturity, between exuberance and restraint, is evident.
Everyone is moving forward, everyone is growing. The actors themselves are maturing and growing along with their characters! The script has clearly been meticulously crafted, and the actors are truly dedicated in their performances.
I want to give a shout-out to Yu Lele for his outstanding work!

This drama resonates with me deeply. The past me might have had the chivalrous spirit of Yingzi, the elegance of Jiang Yi, and perhaps even experienced the same dedication to studying as Mingyu and Zhuang Yuan.
Now, like Yingzi, I am forced to bow down to reality, and like Zhuang Yuan, I am learning to navigate social complexities. Only memories of youth remain.

I enjoyed watching the childhood parts in the first four episodes more. It started to get interesting after Jin Shi Jia appeared in episodes five and six. I hope Huang Ying Zi and Ming Yu don't break up because of a man; that would make me extremely disgusted!
Although, when it comes to the flashback scenes, aside from Yifei Liu, the other actors do have an age-appropriate feel. With the support of the storyline, it doesn't feel too jarring.

Eight years ago, in "Ode to Joy," this kind of acting could still be praised as youthful and adorable. However, now that time has passed, the actress has aged, yet she continues to portray the same way.
It truly feels like watching that young Wen Li from back then. In reality, actors in every age group have their own charm. Only by finding the right direction can they truly convince the audience.

I like this drama. The actors' performances are really good, especially Yang Zi. She portrays both the seventeen-year-old Huang Yingzi and the thirty-year-old Huang Yingzi naturally and convincingly! It has both touching and funny moments.
The drama has a high-quality feel to it, with a dual narrative structure that is very engaging. It's especially enjoyable to watch. I will continue to follow this drama because it's worth it!

It's been a while since I've seen a drama that portrays youth, love, and the workplace environment so accurately. The Yulele production company really knows how to capture my attention.
It takes me on a journey of reminiscing about my past youth while also resonating with the struggles of working life. It's highly relatable and enjoyable.

I saw a spoiler online that Lan Yi Fei was actually not alive from the beginning, and the emails sent by Huang Ying Zi were just a form of solace, just like how only Huang Ying Zi could see Lan Yi Fei at Guan Chao's wedding.
It's also a form of solace. Is it true or not? Please don't shatter my heart with the knife of friendship.

Fan Cheng Cheng is truly talented in acting. We thought it was a reunion after a long separation, but it was actually a carefully planned encounter. The first meeting after 12 years was actually Jiang Yi, who had been secretly watching Huang Ying Zi countless times from the building downstairs.
I'm increasingly looking forward to the upcoming plot. It's just never enough... I can't get enough of it.

The tension between Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi after their reunion is so intense. Both of them are finding excuses to get closer to each other, but they're also afraid of being too abrupt and cautious. While watching them hesitate, I was already squealing like a groundhog on my bed!

The female lead is short, chubby, and has a strange temperament. She's clearly the male lead's mother or grandmother, but her acting is all about winking, baring her teeth, with a stiff and artificial expression.
It's really, really exaggerated and makes her attempt to portray a young girl look grotesque. I can't bear to watch it.

I was initially attracted by the stills of the drama and decided to give it a watch. However, the plot turned out to be incredibly boring. It's passable as background noise, but that's about it.
The actress's acting skills are too homogeneous. I've seen her in several other dramas, so there were moments that felt out of place. There's also a lack of chemistry between the male and female leads.
I've given up on this drama and don't recommend it.

I was quite excited when I heard that it was supposed to be a Korean version of "Reply 1988." However, the result... well, my expectations were too high. In my opinion, they should have cast younger actors for the school scenes.
No matter how good the makeup techniques are, they can't capture the youthful energy, and it feels a bit out of place. The story is also not engaging enough, so I've dropped the drama.

The plot isn't completely ridiculous, but I can't see any genuine love from the lead actors. It feels like they're just going through the motions. One actor's physical expressions are exaggerated, while the other feels like an emotionless puppet.
The actors' conviction is lacking, and it's only when the actors complement each other that they can create a work that resonates with the audience.

Although the plot is very cliché, this work manages to touch you in certain scenes. I've always believed that a work that can move people is a good work. When I saw the scenes between Huang Yingzi and her father, it reminded me of the joyful moments in "Ode to Joy" with Qiu Yingying.
FCC is quite handsome in a heartwarming and joyful way. It's even more enjoyable with the additional episodes.

I dare not imagine how Blue Youfei's grandmother has been coping all these years if my speculation is correct. Or perhaps, as I suspect, everyone has been fabricating the illusion of Blue Youfei going abroad for the sake of her grandmother and Huang Yingzi, so that they wouldn't feel so heartbroken during this process...
It suddenly feels even more heartbreaking.

Mingyu's state is truly relatable (beauty filter edition). Giving all the time in life to work, not liking it and not knowing one's own worth, yet too afraid to quit. It's a situation where one can only grit their teeth and continue, only daring to speak their heart out after getting drunk.

- A heartwarming drama that reminds me of my high school days. I have to say, Yang Zi really knows how to choose scripts, and her acting is good too. I didn't have high expectations for this type of drama, but based on the current updates, the family, friendship, and romantic storylines are all written quite well.
It's quite heartwarming.

Lan Yi Fei's background is just too tragic, no wonder she always carries a sense of vulnerability. What's strange is that in this age of advanced WeChat usage, she and Huang Ying Zi are still communicating through email.
It makes one wonder if Lan Yi Fei truly exists in Huang Ying Zi's current world.

Lan Yi Fei's family background is so pitiful. She could only rely on her grandmother when she was young, and that might be why she carries a hint of sadness in her demeanor.
Fang Yue Qiao portrayed this subtle sense of sorrow with great accuracy.

Huang Ying Zi and Ke Luo Yi finally met, and the tension in the air was palpable. Jiang Yi was caught in the middle and couldn't even breathe properly. It was just too funny. However, as someone who ships "Huang Dou Jiang" (Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi), I actually feel a bit happy when Ke Luo Yi stirs things up.
Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi are both so stubborn, they need some external pressure to increase the sense of urgency. It feels like a confession is not far away.

From the subtle emotional undercurrents in high school to the restrained words when they reunite, Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi's relationship is more about the moments on the motorcycle that they both want to ride but hesitate to, and the sadness of being jealous but not daring to express it to each other.
This kind of emotion is even more delicate than imagined. It's like being friends who have secretly loved each other for a long time.
