Got a Crush on You: A Sweet Romance Drama with an Exciting Twist
On the morning of December 7th, the TV drama "Got a Crush on You" announced its premiere date. And tonight, at 6 PM, it will exclusively debut on Tencent Video. Starring Gu Li Na Zha and Xu Kai Cheng, this drama tells a heartwarming love story between a beautiful doctor and a handsome rescue team captain.
This TV drama is especially suitable for young female fans. How about that? Doesn't the plot summary have a strong internet flavor? "Got a Crush on You" is actually adapted from an online novel. Its story content is similar to some idol dramas we've seen before.
The main similarity lies in the fact that the male protagonists are firefighters, rescue team captains, or exceptionally fit warriors. The characteristic of such dramas is that they passionately showcase the professions of the main characters while depicting their love story. The main purpose of these dramas is to portray the romantic relationships between the male and female leads, while also showcasing some incredibly handsome professions.
Firefighters, rescue team captains, and the like are highly prominent male occupations. At the very least, men in these professions need to be physically fit. As an idol romance drama, the biggest highlight of "Got a Crush on You" undoubtedly lies in the moments when Xu Kai Cheng and Gu Li Na Zha, the two actors, fall in love onscreen.
In terms of character development, the female lead is proactive in pursuing a romantic relationship, while the male lead is portrayed as inexperienced in love. What does this mean? It's similar to the earlier TV dramas where the female lead was portrayed as a "virgin." Since female-centric dramas are popular nowadays, setting the male lead as inexperienced in love means that he has never been in love before and needs the female lead to guide him, gradually helping him develop romantic feelings.
A charming male lead who hasn't experienced love yet becomes the ideal imaginary boyfriend for many female viewers. With the male lead being passive and the female lead taking the initiative, this romantic pursuit unfolds. Moreover, during the specific rescue operations, the male lead can showcase his impressive muscles. This is the epitome of being a good boyfriend. Such a boyfriend is undoubtedly in line with the expectations of young female viewers.
Of course, sweet romance dramas are just sweet romance dramas, catering to everyone's preferences. True love, or living together, is not about how good the other person is, but about being able to accept and compromise with each other's imperfections. This is something that responsible drama critics like myself would tell young female viewers. Sweet romance dramas won't convey this message to the audience.
In sweet romance dramas, everything is as beautiful as it can be. Xu Kai Cheng and Gu Li Na Zha falling in love in the TV drama, with their handsome and beautiful appearances, is certainly a delightful sight to behold.
