A Love So Beautiful is a Chinese series starring Shen Yue and Hu Yitian. The story is about Chen Xiaoxi and Jiang Chen who are neighbors and highschool classmates. Chen Xiaoxi is very vocal on her admiration towards Jiang Chen who is on the other hand cold and distant toward Xiaoxi.
Beautiful Story. The story of A Love So Beautiful is very simple and familiar to most of us - a cliché. However it is very relatable - from family, friends, school and of course, young love. It brought back so much memories from my highschool.
The plot of this series is quite similar to the plot of It Started With a Kiss (a Taiwanese drama) wherein the female lead is pursuing the male lead and it is also similar to the vibe and feels of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo. It is light and easy to watch. I bet my fellow Kdrama fans out there will fall in love with this series as well.
To be honest, the pacing of the story of this series is a bit slow but for some reason, I enjoyed and liked how slow the story progressed. It gave me time to just savour each kilig moment of Jiang Chen and Xiaoxi.
I also love that this series did not focus on Jiang Chen and Chen Xiaoxi’s love story only but also on the beautiful friendship built within the characters. It makes me happy watching these guys Jiang Chen, Chen Xiaoxi, Wu Bosong, Lin Jingxiao and Lu Yang bond, became parters in crime and genuinely support each despite the differences in their interest and characters. This is one of my favorite part in this series.
Beautiful Young Love. Xiaoxi’s feelings towards Jiang Chen was made very clear from the very start so what’s something to really look forward to is how Jiang Chen will respond to Xiaoxi and he didn’t disappoint. His small gestures, cute reactions and weird expression of his love is just too much for my heart to handle. Omo Hu Yitian!!
Jiang Chen and Xiaoxi undeniably brought so much kilig my heart but I can’t help but to feel bad for the second lead - Wu Bosong (I have such soft spot for second leads). **Huggss for Bosong!!
Beautiful Throwback. In this era of high tech gadgets and all, it was refreshing to see those keypad phones, with that **too too too toot ring tone.. those recorders, and not so millenial fashion.. this series indeed made a major throwback which is a breath of fresh air!
Beautiful OST. While writing this post, A Love So Beautiful’s OST is on repeat. It is beautiful, cute and catchy - makes me smile and relive Jiang Chen and Xiaoxi’s kilig moments.
Okay, A Love So Beautiful isn’t brilliant or anything unlike other series or dramas out there but it’s just so beautiful on it’s own right that I think I can’t move on that easily. I might look for other clips and cling to them until I grew tired of them (which I don’t think I will).
Watching A Love So Beautiful made me realize that there is another world besides Kdrama. And this series is such a good introduction to it. Welcome to Cdrama world!!
