{{{{ i wrote this half-chaotic review (or thoughts actually) in may 22 this year in my journal, and ive decided to post it here now sksksk

also, im a newbie cdrama addict!! and there is only a few cdramas ive watched before this }}}}

SO, after this c-drama entitled le coup de foudre left my mind and heart engulfed with so many emotions, i knew i had to write and lay all of my feelings down so i can move on to another series.

due to my intense hangover to le coup de foudre, i re-watched the series just a few hours after i finished it HAHAHAHHAHA and started reading the novel which was the basis of the drama. i feel like i can literally write a whole book on why people should watch this but imma just

shorten it to this,

~~ the list of exceptional things about le coup de foudre, in my opinion:

1

great casting!!!! the actors who acted as the main couple DID SO WELL!!! AND THEIR CHEMISTRY WAS PUTANGINA NAKAKAKILIG. i dont think anyone else could have pulled the character of yan mo better than zhang yujian. and janice wu has always been good at acting HAHAHA no doubts.

2

the character of zhao guanchao. his sacrifices and the way he acts as a brother of qiao yi is so touching

he was introduced as a very playful and annoying brother but he was ofc more than that as the series goes on. i personally think that he is the most lovable

character in the whole series.

3

how the story was delivered. tbh, the story was kind of ordinary, but what made this exemplary was how they narrated the story. how they started on the present time, and numerous flashbacks on what happened during 2007 and 2013.

4

how realistic the series was. unlike other chinese dramas that contained a lot of unrealistic accidental kiss scenes, forced humor, and unbelievably PERFECT male lead, le coup de foudre remained interesting without those elements. they stuck on to the realistic quality of the

novel. and i loved it. i love how they still left some flaws on the characters and the scenes.

5

how this series is not just about smart boy meets stupid girl. WELL, the story was never about that actually. it was just a part of the story. initially i thought that this would be another cliché drama, and im glad im wrong.

6

ost!!!! i dont usually end up liking the chinese osts bc it is just not my style. but the osts of this drama was really good. it wasnt annoying for me and it really fitted the scenes it was put into.

7

how all of the characters mattered. they didnt just focus on the main leads but also their parents, teachers, friends, and moreee! AND NONE WAS ANNOYING!!!!

8

the overall vibe. it was a heartwarming series. and their romance was i think more mellow than romcom. and MOREOVER, it had the reply 1988 vibes that i was longing for HAHAHAHHA

~~ BONUS!!! bc they are even more subjective:

9

humor. idk if others would really find the scenes here funny. but for me it was funny HAHAHAH it was realistically funny. humors that could actually happen in real life.

10

the character of qiao yi. her character was indeed stupid. but im glad that she was sane enough to make decisions that actually made sense (unlike other c-dramas)

11

the character of yan mo. he was so grumpy from start to the end. he literally just had 2 expressions. but his gradual small changes when she met qiao yi was SOOOO cute. plus all the cute non-verbal cues he did during the first eps that i didnt notice until i rewatched them !!

also,,,, more things abt the series that i loved but got too lazy to explain:

12. the friendship!!!!
13. relationship of the twin siblings

14. how strong the leads' parents were
15. how this was based on a real story

aaaand many more!!

and also special mention to hao wuyi (ma li) because i just realized that she was not mentioned on the list

i cant remember anything significant abt her in the drama but i remember how much i fancy her visuals while watching sksksk SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL

THATS IT!!! WATCH LE COUP DE FOUDRE OR IF U ALREADY WATCHED IT, THIS IS THE SIGN, RE WATCH IT NOW!!! SKSKKSKSKS

this thread was a chaotic roller coaster ride sksksks
