Thanks to @modernflapper‘s diligent promotion/ spaming, I watched and really enjoyed A Love So Beautiful. It had a grade school’s level of innocence, a tiny budget and a very obvious story, but the overall effect was so comforting and lovely, like an emotional hot chocolate. Thanks to the beanies for their effective and trust-worthy recommandations! 🙂

    I’m binged this this weekend (Mother’s Day and all) and have just an episode and a half left. I LOVE IT. I think started before modernflapper but here I am still watching it! But it’s all good. The story is sweet and the actors are so endearing!

      The actors are really endearing and their characters as well. Enjoy episode 23 (episode 24 is only a bonus) and all its warms fuzzies! It feels like a simpler yet updated version of It Started with a Kiss, and I really like that women are more empowered than 10 years ago, even though the story remains quite innocent. It is actually my first C-Drama and I am pleasantly surprised.

        I think I might have to write an essay about it when I’m done. I loved Xiaoxi and how she matured by the end, but I have a feeling that life won’t all be butterflies and rainbows for them and need to get that off my chest!

          I am really looking forward to your essay and / or a second season! I agree that they will face challenges ahead, considering their opposite personalities and probably hectic profesionnal lives, but I trust those two kids! I regret a little bit that we didn’t see Xiaoxi during the 3 years of their separation, because she did mature a great deal during that time and I would have liked to see that.

            Omo! No!!! It would be too autobiographical I’m afraid, only replace me as Jiang Chen and my husband as Xiaoxi!

    I’m happy my obsessions can be of service to you. 😁 😂

    Prepare yourself for Iron Ladies. It’s more mature, which can be a nice change.

      Popping into the middle of this conversation to thank @modernflapper for posting so much about A Love So Beautiful that I had to finish watching it. I started watching it quite a while back, but was interrupted in the middle of episode 2. I forgot all about it until I saw your posts, and realized I still wanted to watch it! Just finished it yesterday and totally loved it!

        No need to thank me, it’s because of the beanie wall that Mr MF must buy me bigger and bigger external hardrives for my ever increasing drama collection. I have been persuaded by so many Beanie posts as to what I should watch, I’m happy to return the favour.

          Thanks to Mr ModernFlapper for supporting our collective addiction! That the kind of Mister I wouldn’t mind having! 🙂
