The scene where Lan Yi Fei chases after the car in the rain is heart-wrenching and infuriating. How can a father be like that? I feel so sorry for Yi Fei... Fang Yue Qiao's crying scenes are incredibly immersive. When she sheds a tear, it feels like her whole being is about to shatter!

I thought it was just a simple youth drama, but the narrative structure of parallel storytelling between the age of 18 and 30 makes this drama even more intriguing. I believe in Yang Zi's acting skills, as she completely embodies different performance states for the characters at the ages of 18 and 30.

I can tolerate it if you're good-looking and playing a high school student at 32, but please don't bring that tech-savvy look to the role of a high schooler. I mean, high school students don't look like that. Qiu Yingying's looks in n.0 are really unattractive, lacking both acting skills and beauty. I can't continue watching this.

The dual timeline storytelling technique is highly praised. It starts by depicting the current situation and then gradually delves into the events that took place in the past 12 years. As time progresses, the mysteries left behind in the beginning are gradually unveiled, making the whole process intriguing. This is the first time I've seen this kind of filming technique, and Yu Lele did a great job with it. Keep it up!

A rural female entrepreneur transformed into an urban elite? Yang Zi has even a hint of the urban elite temperament? It's laughable. Yang Zi, you can act in idol dramas until you're 50! Don't even bother with serious dramas because no matter how much you try to transform yourself, you're still unattractive. Why would someone who looks ugly still be obsessed with being on TV?

I feel that the show became much more enjoyable starting from the sixth episode, probably because the focus shifted to the romantic storyline. However, Jiang Yi's character design is really strange... He's a "warm-hearted underachiever," but many times, I feel like his acting and portrayal resemble a traditional top student in a two-way unrequited love story, which leaves his character without much charm in either direction...

An inspiring and healing drama... The plot flows smoothly... The storyline is logical and realistic... There's no overpowering protagonist... It's like industrial-grade saccharin... The actors' performances are excellent... It's easy to immerse oneself in the story... It's a drama that belongs to our 80s and 90s generation... Huang Ying Zi is warm-hearted and considerate... It's incredibly enjoyable to watch... I hope there will be more dramas like this.

As a fellow '90s-born individual who is currently in their thirties and navigating the workplace, I can relate. I've also missed out on attending a good friend's wedding due to work overtime and slowly drifted apart from close friends. Watching this drama allows me to empathize deeply because reality can be so frustrating. It brings back memories of the daring and adventurous spirit that used to make me smile. Initially, I wasn't accustomed to the dual narrative style, but it works exceptionally well here, highlighting the stark contrast between the present and the past, striking a chord with viewers. It doesn't solely focus on the helplessness of facing reality but provides a pleasant respite with moments of laughter from the past.
That's my impression as a viewer, and I genuinely love it. Moving on to the plot, the pacing is good, not too slow. Even those who are used to watching dramas at an accelerated speed can still watch it directly. There are now many lingering mysteries that I want to unravel, and I want to continue watching.

I never thought I would be so fond of such a simple story. At the age of 30, many of us are forced into situations, facing helplessness, and constantly being pushed forward on the road of life, forced to grow up and be responsible. Looking back, I wonder if the 18-year-old version of ourselves is still there.

Did one of Yang Zi's representative roles leave such a lasting impression on them? It can only indirectly reflect that Yang Zi's acting is truly excellent and has deeply resonated with people.

This drama made me relive my past in my 39 years of life. From the fearless and ambitious youth I once was, to the countless hardships and scars inflicted upon me by society, to becoming someone who views the world and its affairs with a carefree attitude... The emotions stirred within me are truly numerous. It's only as one grows older that they realize the worries of their youth were merely regrets. It's only when one experiences the scars and bruises inflicted by society that they truly understand what helplessness means. It's only now that I understand, in what manner should I live my life so as not to burden my heart so much. Yang Zi is a talented actress, and the effort she has put into her craft is genuinely felt by the audience. In this world, a grain of rice nourishes a hundred types of people.

The age difference between the male lead and the female lead is too significant. The female lead doesn't age well, which feels out of place. Are there no younger actresses in the mainland entertainment industry? Actors should at least match the age of their characters. And the male lead could be younger, it's understandable that he may have limited experience, but the female lead is already in her thirties, yet her acting skills are surprisingly terrible. I'll have to steer clear of her in the future!

I initially thought the actors playing the main couple had an age gap, but it turned out to be a childhood friends' story. The age difference is really noticeable and it feels out of place. In a drama like "He Yi Sheng Xiao Mo," they could have cast younger actors to play the teenage roles. Why didn't they do that? The actors can't even come to terms with their own age, so how can they perform well? Is it all about the female lead's exaggerated acting? That's not what I call good acting! There's no depth to it at all. Acting doesn't mean shouting and screaming... For the male lead, it's my first time watching his drama, and I think he should participate in fewer variety shows and instead take some acting classes.

To Love for a Long Time, Yang Zi, Huang Yingzi, your performances really struck a chord with me. My long-lost memories came rushing back. I'm especially excited to see how the story unfolds. There are so many questions in my mind that I need to slowly watch the drama to find answers. Like, why did the six of them drift apart as they grew older, but then want to reunite 12 years later? Why can't Zhuang Yuan and Mingyu dare to meet each other? Why does Huang Yingzi regret it now? What happened when Jiang Yi went abroad? Guan Chao said he was fulfilled at the wedding, but Yifei wasn't there. So many question marks. I'll keep watching to find out.

3.5 stars. The overall presentation is quite good. The first episode was filled with intense emotions, with each character's introduction being overloaded with feelings, almost like they were trying to overwhelm the audience with emotions. I don't know when it became a common issue among Chinese dramas, where they can't tell the story properly. They could have taken a more gentle and narrative approach, but instead, they opt for intense and thrilling storytelling. They could have told the story in a linear and coherent manner, but they choose to use flashbacks and non-linear narratives. It's a pity!

Oh my, it seems like the only person in his eyes is Yingzi.

I've watched the first six episodes, and the dual narrative technique is used brilliantly, with seamless transitions. The opening theme by Teacher He, the ending song sung by Sun Yanzi and Yang Zi, and the insert songs in between are filled with youthful memories! It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a drama depicting the era of the post-90s generation. Full of youthful vigor and aspirations in their younger days, and facing various challenges as adults, having to bow down to reality. Isn't it a true reflection of young people today? I highly recommend this drama!

The portrayal of friendship is sincere and touching. The intertwined themes of dysfunctional families, adult loneliness, and the gap between reality and ideals are also portrayed realistically.

It feels like the screenwriter is relentlessly hinting at the audience with "Want a Long-lasting Love" or "The Labyrinth," constantly jumping back and forth in time. Underneath this almost neurotic worldview, it's actually a story about finding friends. Huang Ying Zi is searching for her 18-year-old best friend, Ding Ye is looking for the friend who loves eating saliva fish, Jiang Yi is searching for Huang Ying Zi as a friend, Zhuang Yuan is looking for the owner of a bracelet he missed twelve years ago. Ming Yu seems to move forward, but the group photo is still on the table. Guan Chao and his 18-year-old girl stayed in the Aerospace City. Alright, "Want a Long-lasting Love," also known as "Finding Friends.
If you think it's just a mindless sweet drama based on the title, you're completely wrong. It's far from that. I've been brainstorming and having my mind blown every day while watching this drama. Each episode is more exciting than the last, more thought-provoking than the last. It's about youth and pure love, about the original family, about life and death, about surviving in the workplace, about scumbag behavior... Every character is vivid and real, with their own underlying melancholy.
I don't want to miss a single moment on screen, and even the placement of commercials is just right. 9+9????18, looking ahead, I wish to love like I did at eighteen, for a long time.

After watching three episodes, my feeling is that Yang Zi doesn't know how to choose scripts. Is there any need to act in such cliché and illogical plotlines? Moreover, what Yang Zi needs most now is to improve her acting skills. Homogeneous acting skills can easily discourage people. She's just another Qiu Yingying (referring to a character she played in a previous drama). I suspect that she can only portray these types of characters because her own personality is similar. If she doesn't improve her acting skills, she will only continue to act in poorly written period dramas.

The plot is pretty good, it made me laugh and cry, but among the group of friends, the male lead always feels lacking. For example, the scene where they reunite after a long separation and he takes off his helmet. It's been 12 years, and you secretly came to see her, but she caught you, recognized you. Isn't there any emotion or longing when you meet again? Even if your eyes don't turn red, at least swallow your saliva to show that you're suppressing your emotions, right? But there's nothing. When they were young and playing truth or dare, and he was asked who he liked, he was also wooden. He couldn't portray the complexity of hesitation and carefulness, and his eyes lacked expression. He didn't seize the opportunity in the important scenes. So, the romance between the male and female leads was quite unsatisfying. The male lead was like a wooden block, not appealing at all. I really don't understand. He seems charming in variety shows and likable, but in this drama, it's like he's an AI. The chemistry between the couple is truly a mysterious thing.

I couldn't even get through one episode, it's just unbearable. It's terrible in every aspect, I wish I could give it half a star. Fan Cheng Cheng was decent in that drama with Guan Xiao Tong, so how come this drama is so unwatchable? Yang Zi's facial expressions are either exaggerated or stiff. Wake up and think about whether you still want to be an actress. If it weren't for the addition of the second male lead, a female psychologist, you would have been criticized for your poor acting skills. Yet you refuse to improve. However, if the acting is bad, it can still be compensated by the plot, but isn't this plot just a common trope seen in previous Japanese dramas? Don't the scriptwriters in the Chinese entertainment industry have anything new? Only Zhu Yan Man Zi's acting feels more natural. Looking forward to her other works.

First of all, it's really important to choose the right cast for a role. It's quite jarring to see someone in their thirties portraying a high school student with such a heavy sense of maturity. When watching the drama, I really had to resist the urge to switch channels. And what's with that scene where she kicks the horizontal bar? It's such a bizarre move. Why did they place a horizontal bar in front of her amidst such a long line of cheerleaders? Was it meant to showcase her fierce and sassy demeanor? I can't comprehend their thinking. Furthermore, they even heavily promoted this particular scene, but all I saw was mediocre performance without any positive reviews.

The age difference between the male lead and the female lead is too significant. The female lead doesn't age well, which feels out of place. Are there no younger actresses in the mainland entertainment industry?
Actors should at least match the age of their characters. And the male lead could be younger, it's understandable that he may have limited experience, but the female lead is already in her thirties, yet her acting skills are surprisingly terrible.
I'll have to steer clear of her in the future!
Jin Shi Jia's acting range is truly vast. He portrays a youth literature writer full of brokenness, and he does it so naturally. Although his shocking and outrageous behavior when he first appeared caught me off guard, I must say that the melancholic aura he carries is truly captivating.
I initially thought the actors playing the main couple had an age gap, but it turned out to be a childhood friends' story. The age difference is really noticeable and it feels out of place.
In a drama like "He Yi Sheng Xiao Mo," they could have cast younger actors to play the teenage roles. Why didn't they do that? The actors can't even come to terms with their own age, so how can they perform well?
Is it all about the female lead's exaggerated acting? That's not what I call good acting! There's no depth to it at all. Acting doesn't mean shouting and screaming...
For the male lead, it's my first time watching his drama, and I think he should participate in fewer variety shows and instead take some acting classes.
To Love for a Long Time, Yang Zi, Huang Yingzi, your performances really struck a chord with me. My long-lost memories came rushing back. I'm especially excited to see how the story unfolds. There are so many questions in my mind that I need to slowly watch the drama to find answers.
Like, why did the six of them drift apart as they grew older, but then want to reunite 12 years later? Why can't Zhuang Yuan and Mingyu dare to meet each other? Why does Huang Yingzi regret it now? What happened when Jiang Yi went abroad?
Guan Chao said he was fulfilled at the wedding, but Yifei wasn't there. So many question marks. I'll keep watching to find out.
I've read the comments, and they all seem to follow a script of criticizing for the sake of criticizing. Have they all been brainwashed by negativity? Both Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng's acting skills are commendable, and the storyline is also decent.
If it weren't for the fact that I haven't seen it yet and have been influenced by the negative comments, it would've sparked my rebellious spirit. 5-star rating!
It's incredibly fortunate to encounter a senior colleague who is willing to help you in the workplace. Huang Ying Zi's colleague not only gave up a topic that wasn't suitable for her but also handed it over to Ying Zi.
She encouraged her to speak with professional competence. I really like this sister, she's both cool and warm-hearted!
3.5 stars. The overall presentation is quite good. The first episode was filled with intense emotions, with each character's introduction being overloaded with feelings, almost like they were trying to overwhelm the audience with emotions.
I don't know when it became a common issue among Chinese dramas, where they can't tell the story properly. They could have taken a more gentle and narrative approach, but instead, they opt for intense and thrilling storytelling.
They could have told the story in a linear and coherent manner, but they choose to use flashbacks and non-linear narratives. It's a pity!
The unrequited love between Huang Dou and Jiang is so addictive! It has the perfect mix of youthful misunderstandings filled with bittersweetness and the tension between adults testing each other. The expression on Jiang Yi's face when Yingzi answered Ding Ye's phone call was explosive.
Who understands the intensity of that jealousy? It's like a vinegar jar being knocked over.
After the reunion, it feels like Jiang Yi likes Yingzi even more than twelve years ago. When he hears her say that she has someone she likes, his body straightens up. When he sees her with tears, saying that she regrets, his eyes well up too.
Watching Yingzi get on the car, he looks forward to the next time they meet again. Oh my, it seems like the only person in his eyes is Yingzi.
After watching the first three episodes, I came here to rate the drama. I didn't expect it to have a much better quality than I anticipated. The director's aesthetics are very comforting, and the dual narrative of the past and memories is portrayed clearly.
It has already sparked my curiosity about the plot. I'll give it four stars for now, but I'll keep observing.
In "Everlasting Love," viewers seem to ride on a time machine, shuttling between the youthful seventeen and the complex adult world. This clever narrative structure not only showcases the ingenious craftsmanship of the screenwriter but also allows the audience to deeply experience the stark contrast between ideals and reality through the comparisons presented.
Jiang Yi's blatant double standards on the show: He remembered a casual bet Huang Yingzi made in a taxi twelve years ago, but conveniently forgot whether he ever paid Chloe...
He claims to have an amazing memory, but in reality, he only remembers things related to Huang Yingzi. Tsk tsk, if this isn't love, then what is?
I've watched the first six episodes, and the dual narrative technique is used brilliantly, with seamless transitions. The opening theme by Teacher He, the ending song sung by Sun Yanzi and Yang Zi, and the insert songs in between are filled with youthful memories!
It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a drama depicting the era of the post-90s generation. Full of youthful vigor and aspirations in their younger days, and facing various challenges as adults, having to bow down to reality.
Isn't it a true reflection of young people today? I highly recommend this drama!
Jiang Yi, you really made me cry! Not only did you secretly stick Huang Ying Zi's photo on your meal card, treasuring it for ten years, but you also deliberately rented a house where you can see her room. You, my friend, are truly a soldier of pure love!
Indeed, when it comes to love, those who have a heart don't need to be taught. You've hit the mark~
What kind of script did Zhuang Yuan get? She has been concerned about Fang Ming Yu's news for so many years, but she has never confessed her feelings. When she heard that he had a boyfriend, she could only feel heartbroken in secret. Why don't you confess?
You're so beautiful, what are you afraid of, Wang Qian Yue?
The portrayal of friendship is sincere and touching. The intertwined themes of dysfunctional families, adult loneliness, and the gap between reality and ideals are also portrayed realistically.
The transitions between the dual storylines are skillfully executed. Honestly speaking, Yu Lele's performance this time far exceeded my expectations. I can't understand why anyone would give negative reviews.
It feels like the screenwriter is relentlessly hinting at the audience with "Want a Long-lasting Love" or "The Labyrinth," constantly jumping back and forth in time. Underneath this almost neurotic worldview, it's actually a story about finding friends.
Huang Ying Zi is searching for her 18-year-old best friend, Ding Ye is looking for the friend who loves eating saliva fish, Jiang Yi is searching for Huang Ying Zi as a friend, Zhuang Yuan is looking for the owner of a bracelet he missed twelve years ago.
Ming Yu seems to move forward, but the group photo is still on the table. Guan Chao and his 18-year-old girl stayed in the Aerospace City. Alright, "Want a Long-lasting Love," also known as "Finding Friends.
If you think it's just a mindless sweet drama based on the title, you're completely wrong. It's far from that. I've been brainstorming and having my mind blown every day while watching this drama. Each episode is more exciting than the last, more thought-provoking than the last.
It's about youth and pure love, about the original family, about life and death, about surviving in the workplace, about scumbag behavior... Every character is vivid and real, with their own underlying melancholy.
I don't want to miss a single moment on screen, and even the placement of commercials is just right.
9+9????18, looking ahead, I wish to love like I did at eighteen, for a long time.
After watching three episodes, my feeling is that Yang Zi doesn't know how to choose scripts. Is there any need to act in such cliché and illogical plotlines? Moreover, what Yang Zi needs most now is to improve her acting skills.
Homogeneous acting skills can easily discourage people. She's just another Qiu Yingying (referring to a character she played in a previous drama). I suspect that she can only portray these types of characters because her own personality is similar.
If she doesn't improve her acting skills, she will only continue to act in poorly written period dramas.
The emotions portrayed in this drama are genuine, and it's a great watch. I highly recommend it. After watching, I reached out to my long-lost childhood friend yesterday, and the emotions were so heartfelt.
There were several moments where I felt the urge to shed tears. It made me realize how wonderful and yet how helpless the outside world can be.
Lan Yi Fei, a top-tier player in "Water Blossom," everyone is confessing their feelings, but she says she likes everyone, deliberately avoiding eye contact, making it hard to tell if her gaze is directed towards Jiang Yi or Guan Chao.
As viewers, the gossip fire instantly ignites. Fang Yue Qiao truly brings this character to life!
It feels like the director of this drama wanted to capture the same feeling as Reply 1988, but it comes across as forced and awkward. It's impossible to immerse oneself in the story. When watching Reply 1988, I had that feeling of living in the Ssangmundong neighborhood.
Deok Sun and Taek were my neighbors. Even though we speak different languages and come from different countries, that was my childhood.
Huang Yingzi asked Jiang Yi about his relationship with Ke Luoyi, and Jiang Yi replied, "Just friends, nothing more!" I like this straightforward answer that draws clear boundaries. But dude, you should be bolder and directly confess your feelings with the wish card that Yingzi gave you!
I actually don't usually enjoy watching slow-burn dramas, but the actors' performances are incredibly realistic, and I found myself hooked without realizing it. It feels like they're not just characters on TV, but friends in my own life.
Now I eagerly await the updates every evening. Especially Fan Cheng Cheng, he's been a pleasant surprise.
Huang Yingzi is so brave. Although I don't like Zhu Yanmanzi, her acting truly portrayed the feeling of unrequited love.
In the workplace, the strong and oppressed dynamic among the three men and three women.
Why does a complicated love triangle have to involve the best friend? And why did they misunderstand that the male lead also likes the best friend?
Ah, during the book signing event in Dingshan, I really don't understand why the male lead made the female lead sleep on the sofa without providing a pillow and blanket.
It's strange that she didn't get sick after sleeping like that for a whole night.
The plot is pretty good, it made me laugh and cry, but among the group of friends, the male lead always feels lacking. For example, the scene where they reunite after a long separation and he takes off his helmet.
It's been 12 years, and you secretly came to see her, but she caught you, recognized you. Isn't there any emotion or longing when you meet again? Even if your eyes don't turn red, at least swallow your saliva to show that you're suppressing your emotions, right?
But there's nothing. When they were young and playing truth or dare, and he was asked who he liked, he was also wooden. He couldn't portray the complexity of hesitation and carefulness, and his eyes lacked expression.
He didn't seize the opportunity in the important scenes. So, the romance between the male and female leads was quite unsatisfying. The male lead was like a wooden block, not appealing at all.
I really don't understand. He seems charming in variety shows and likable, but in this drama, it's like he's an AI. The chemistry between the couple is truly a mysterious thing.
No CP vibes. Yang Zi's excessive plastic surgery makes her face stiff and extremely unnatural. FCC's face is not suitable for idol dramas, he's simply not handsome.
The plot is cliché and lacks originality. It feels like Yang Zi's peak has already passed, and her future dramas can only rely on marketing tactics. She lacks beauty and her acting skills are declining.
This drama is not worth watching, really.
During their dinner date, Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi were both testing each other with every sentence, afraid of accidentally revealing their little thoughts. You know, that cautious feeling of cautiously getting closer before confirming the relationship, it's actually quite exhilarating.
I couldn't even get through one episode, it's just unbearable. It's terrible in every aspect, I wish I could give it half a star. Fan Cheng Cheng was decent in that drama with Guan Xiao Tong, so how come this drama is so unwatchable? Yang Zi's facial expressions are either exaggerated or stiff.
Wake up and think about whether you still want to be an actress. If it weren't for the addition of the second male lead, a female psychologist, you would have been criticized for your poor acting skills. Yet you refuse to improve. However, if the acting is bad, it can still be compensated by the plot, but isn't this plot just a common trope seen in previous Japanese dramas?
Don't the scriptwriters in the Chinese entertainment industry have anything new? Only Zhu Yan Man Zi's acting feels more natural. Looking forward to her other works.
First of all, it's really important to choose the right cast for a role. It's quite jarring to see someone in their thirties portraying a high school student with such a heavy sense of maturity.
When watching the drama, I really had to resist the urge to switch channels. And what's with that scene where she kicks the horizontal bar? It's such a bizarre move.
Why did they place a horizontal bar in front of her amidst such a long line of cheerleaders? Was it meant to showcase her fierce and sassy demeanor? I can't comprehend their thinking.
Furthermore, they even heavily promoted this particular scene, but all I saw was mediocre performance without any positive reviews.
As a thirty-something office worker, I can really empathize with the struggles portrayed in the drama. Whether it's the various constraints we face in our jobs or the gradual loss of contact with old friends scattered across the world, it hits close to home.
I'll give an extra star for the courage of the female lead. She's braver than me. I've already lost the courage to take the initiative to reach out and reconnect.
