MyDramaList rating: vii.five/10

How-do-you-do! I know it hasn't been long but I just binged this drama in a couple of days because it was actually beautiful and brusk and I couldn't stop!
A friend of mine recommended it to me and since I don't watch a lot of Chinese dramas I figured I'd give it a attempt. From the first impression of the title poster to the opening theme sequence to the actual story and characters, I will say from the first I actually enjoyed it. Sometimes you just need something short and beautiful and simple and enjoyable 🙂
I say curt because even though there are 30 episodes, the episodes are merely twenty minutes long which is very unusual for a Chinese drama! But information technology really fitted the format of the series and it did make it easier to rampage because afterwards each episode I just wasn't finished with it yet.

Summary: the story is about a daughter called Chen Qing Qing (played past Sun Yi Ning), who grew up in a wealthy household. Since her parents' early deaths she has been raised past her grandpa and excels in a lot of fields, from mathematics and sociology to music and drawing. She especially enjoys drawing comics. The story starts on the evening before her arranged wedding ceremony, and going through a picture book of her parents, she suddenly has a vision or dream near her parents. They announced earlier her and tell her how proud they are of her. Then, they tell her that they wish for her to be happy and follow the life she personally desires.
When Qing Qing wakes upwardly the adjacent morning time she takes her life into her own hands – she escapes her own hymeneals and flees to the town and university where her parents met and studied together, hoping to both find out more than about her parents there (she doesn't actually know a lot near them) and to follow her ain path. She disguises herself so her grandfather's guards who followed her wouldn't be able to find her and after some initial complications, she is able to become herself enrolled in the university, be information technology nether her disguise.
On the other hand, nosotros accept teenage popstar idol Si Tu Feng (played by Guo Jun Chen). Despite existence very loved and adored past his fans because of his looks and talent, he is very cold and not very amicable. He finds himself often wanting to escape his idol life and just be free.
Feng and Qing Qing come across when they're both on the run from their corresponding guards and pretend they're a kissing couple in an alley. This leads to their get-go actual but accidental kiss.
Initially, they don't get along very well and there are some misunderstandings betwixt them. However, when Qing Qing enrolls in her university, she finds out not only does Feng nourish the same college, they're also in the same class AND she's assigned the seat correct next to him.
The serial follows the relationship between Feng and Qing Qing equally they go through several hardships together and eventually fall in dear with each other. Several other side characters include Feng'south best friend Gu Nan Xi (played by Ma Li), his childhood friend Lan Xin Ya (played by Cheng Mu Xuan) who'due south also in honey with him, his former friend at present-turned-enemy Lin Yi Yang (played by Zhao Yi Qin) and Qing Qing's roommate and best friend Zhang Fang Fang (played by Zhou Mo).
Of course, Qing Qing has a lot of secrets since she's under constant disguise. Will she be able to continue these secrets even after things betwixt her and Feng become serious and several people are determined to practise annihilation in their power to sabotage their human relationship?

Permit me simply elaborate on Qing Qing's secrets. The affair is, she assumes three dissimilar identities in the story. The get-go one is her existent self: long pilus, elegant dresses, the rich daughter she was raised to exist. In order to gain attention, she has no choice merely to go dorsum to her actual look a couple of times to get what she wants (as her disguise besides makes her stand up out less). 1 fourth dimension she joins a competition to star in one of Feng's MV'south to win money to help out Fang Fang, and she has to resort to her normal await to proceeds the attention at the audience that she needs. Fifty-fifty though this is how she actually looks, she takes the name Qing Shen in her pretense to fool Feng and the others.
Her second disguise is the ane she assumes when she runs away from home and the one she has on nearly of the series: a brusk curly wig, spectacles and painted freckles on her face. She wears a lot of bright, colorful apparel and acts extrovertly and determined towards basically everything. For this disguise, she uses her existent proper noun Chen Qing Qing, and in the terminate she realizes that this initially fake personality has opened up a new side of herself and the free spirit she always longed to be. Her tertiary identity is that of anonymous cartoon artist Hebiancao. She creates cartoons about Feng and makes them into online comics that get very pop with Feng'due south fans.
So basically, Feng gets to know her as the quirky bespectacled curly-haired Chen Qing Qing who claims to come from a poor groundwork.

What I similar in Chinese dramas is that they always brand every scene await then damn adorable. All the colors of the backdrop, the layout of the rooms and settings, the clothes – everything seems similar a comic book. I don't know if the building shown as a campus is an actual campus only man, that looks like one magical identify to study. The characters were also designed as types, which again added that element of blitheness to the series.
The cold idol, the quirky geeky daughter, the quiet gentle best friend, the bitchy mean girl, the bad boy with a secret soft side, etc. It reminded me a bit of My Girlfriend'due south Boyfriend in terms of how the layout and the settings looked and how the characters were written as type characters.

Gu Nan Xi was the typical nice best guy friend who was ever there to root for his friends. Even though he is the first one to discover Qing Shen and Qing Qing are the same person and even develops a vanquish on her as well, he still roots for her to exist with Feng. The running gag was that he was sometimes treated like a fool by Feng and he would curse out his best friend proverb that 'he owed him a girlfriend in his adjacent life'. He was a genuinely sympathetic character from the start, simply like Fang Fang.
I actually really liked Fang Fang fifty-fifty though I feel like the writers didn't fully get the distance with her character. She was very introverted and serenity, wanted to stay out of trouble, and fifty-fifty when she would have to take risks trying to help Qing Qing, she never turned against her. Fifty-fifty when Qing Qing somewhen tells her the truth and shows her her real appearance, she doesn't get mad even a fiddling bit. Besides that, she has her ain little budding romance going on with rumored bad boy Lin Yi Yang, who for some reason keeps treating her nicely. Lin Yi Yang used to be best friends with Feng and Nan Xi, but later on something terrible happened to their common friend in the past, he has ever blamed Feng for information technology.
Here'south the deal: Feng, Nan Eleven and Yi Yang used to exist a group of friends together with a girl named Lan Xin Yu (Xin Ya's older sis). Ane time, Feng and Xin Yu were in a terrible accident in which their car roughshod into the water and Feng was rescued and Xin Yu wasn't. After that, several misunderstandings were created: Ane, Lin Yi Yang always blamed Feng for the accident and Feng turned into a common cold person because he felt this arraign too. Two, Feng promised that he would 'take care' of Xin Ya after her sister'southward expiry and Xin Ya has since then interpreted this as that Feng is in dear with her and volition marry her and always 'have care' of her. And here something went terribly wrong.
Xin Ya is the queen bee in college, together with ii followers she initially serves as the typical 'mean girl trio' that always seems to get Qing Qing into trouble. I found her both insufferable as hilarious; there were seriously humorous moments in her scenes and acting, just in the cool exaggeration of her behavior. However, as Feng gets closer to Qing Qing, she gets more determined to bulldoze them autonomously and even calls in help from Queen Witch (as I called her) Yang Lanting (I tin't discover the name of the actress anywhere o_o). She is also an old friend of the guys and supports Xin Ya in her quest to go rid of Qing Qing. In the end, Lanting has a really bad influence on both Xin Ya as Feng.

Although the entire series was pretty much colorful cuteness wrapped up in episodes, in the last 5 episodes there was a moment where all of a sudden something very dark happened and I found it kind of disturbing. I was really enjoying how happy and piece of cake the story was, no major or unnecessary drama, when at that place was a conflict people would just say sorry and make up etcetera. But suddenly, Xin Ya started acting up. Afterward Feng openly announced his relationship with Qing Qing in front of all his friends, Xin Ya gets so depressed she actually takes a agglomeration of sleeping pills and almost kills herself. Shocked by the event, Qing Qing is also of a sudden called past her grandfather who is really ill and she needs to go dorsum dwelling house to him for a while – which was the WORST timing ever. She left Feng alone and vulnerable at the worst moment ever. With Qing Qing gone, both Xin Ya and Lanting had all the room they needed to emotionally bribery poor Feng into staying with Xin Ya. Heck, even Xin Ya's female parent joined the game. It was sickening what happened, you could just see Feng crumble nether the guilt. Ever since the accident with Xin Yu, he has been particularly vulnerable when it comes to guilt and they used this against him. They didn't even care most what he wanted, he merely had to sacrifice everything for Xin Ya because otherwise 'she would hurt herself again and you don't want that, practice you?' I honestly lost a little faith in humanity in that 1,5 episode.
I just hope people know they tin can't actually do this, they have no correct, no nothing to do this to some other person. Xin Ya plain suffered from some sort of attention disorder then I was first simply frustrated by her immaturity, but then information technology seemed like she honestly didn't even realize what she was doing to Feng and that she besides was beingness manipulated by Lanting. Lanting apparently told her that if she hurt herself again, Feng would stay by her side forever. I mean, the laurels for the most rotten person goes to…
I'thou simply glad Mu Nian told her off at the failed wedding, he just said everything I was thinking. Yes, the emotional blackmailing went to the extent of forcing Feng into marrying Xin Ya. It was not okay.

I oasis't even mentioned Hua Mu Nian yet! Hua Mu Nian (played past Yan Hao Yuan) is besides a pupil at their university, he'due south role of the Educatee Association or whatever it is that Qing Qing joins to gain more than information most her male parent. He has pinkish hair and in the beginning it really seemed like he was the only gay character in the testify, simply so all of a sudden he falls for Xin Ya and I was sorry because information technology would've been prissy to see an openly gay grapheme in a Chinese drama and I was starting to believe information technology was finally happening… sigh, I guess not.
Anyways, he was great and I loved him and he said all the correct things.

Anyways, Lanting was an actual witch and I was happy to see her get. In the beginning I just idea she was on Xin Ya's side and therefore was just interested in her betoken of view, but in the end she actually showed a truly ugly part of herself by manipulating both Xin Ya to physically hurt herself and Feng to stay with Xin Ya. I was so angry when Xin Ya's mother had the nerve to say 'I've never blamed yous for Xin Yu'southward decease… but I tin't lose Xin Ya as well'. So, basically saying it was his fault and she wouldn't let him go away with it again.
I but felt so sorry for Feng, he had no 1 to salve him from that situation and even Qing Qing didn't aid. That was 1 of the two moments I was annoyed past Qing Qing. She knew the situation was hard on Feng and he cared for Xin Ya every bit a friend. Even though I agreed with her when she was like 'omg you lot're going to fall for her manipulative actions?', she did show no consideration or empathy any for the state of affairs Feng was being pushed into and she only became selfish.
The second time I got annoyed was when Feng got this super sectional chance to train in the States. Even though it was an amazing opportunity, he was hesitating because of Qing Qing. At the same fourth dimension, Qing Qing gets the opportunity to study in Japan to become a comic creative person, but she apartment out refuses considering of Feng. When Feng finally gathers the courage to tell her, she doesn't even let him finish and just gets angry that he likewise didn't flat out refused because of her. I hateful, I'm sorry, are you lot actually surprised he was hesitant to tell yous after yous got your amazing career choice? Of course she would exist alone, but she had no right to stand in the way of his dream. She had no right to but presume he would surrender on his dream for her.
The first thing she actually said was 'What about me?' and that pissed me off so much! Luckily, like several times before, it turns out that she has the addiction of lashing out before actually thinking virtually it, so she needed some time and did telephone call him to say she went too far and he should go.
However, of class, in the end – on the mode to the aerodrome – Feng realizes he really can't do without Qing Qing and he decides to stay.

One of my favorite parts of the series was when Feng had to film a video underwater for his new album. Ever since the accident with Xin Yu, Feng has been terrified by getting into water and the thought of drowning.
Qing Qing takes it upon herself to assist him overcome this fear and I loved this then much. The things she did for him were and then adorable, especially the one where she brought him to the beach and told him to sing while looking at the water because singing would brand him less afraid. And of course the i where she fabricated him stand up in the square and the water fountains would come out of the footing and she started to dance around him to show that the water wasn't scary. This part was so heartwarming, I couldn't even.
My other favorite moment was when Qing Qing hijacked Feng and Xin Ya's wedding. I was just waiting for her to make a move, even though she was far away she knew very well Feng was not doing okay and it was already obvious she was going to do something every bit she called in the help from Feng's fans. How she entered the hall all similar 'I object!' then released all those handshake vouchers (they were fan vouchers to shake hands with Feng for 5 seconds) in the air existence like 'I have enough vouchers to hold your hand for the residual of your life, you tin't deny me!', I loved it. It was so quirky and so Qing Qing.

The build-up in their relationship was really nice and natural. They took their time, and even though their actual confession is not until in the latter half of the series, their growing affection for each other is already apparent from manner earlier. They went through so much together and in the end they were only the well-nigh ambrosial couple.
I was surprised even the whole thing when Feng constitute out about Qing Qing hiding her true identity took such a short time! I was convinced this would exist the main 'drama' moment of the series, but he got over information technology so fast! And then squeamish!

One last thing: I just couldn't sympathize how people didn't see Qing Qing as pretty. I actually found her prettier equally her quirky disguise than when she was not in disguise. I guess for all the blitheness elements, the fact that she wore glasses just meant she was categorized equally 'not pretty'? But to create this great dissimilarity that suddenly when she came to class as her true self, everyone was suddenly flocking to her because 'she was suddenly super pretty' and then when she went back to her disguise they stopped even though they past at present knew she was the same person? It was kind of weird, but again, I approximate it was partly to emphasize the cartoonesque nature of the story.
It didn't make sense to me, Sunday Yi Ning is pretty no affair what disguise. I actually liked seeing the different sides of her interim.
And Guo Jun Chen'due south floppy ears are adorable. I had to say it.
Oh, and! The opening theme is really cute. I loved that they used it equally the song Feng wrote for Qing Qing, the song fits them then perfectly!

I would've liked to see a picayune more development in the relationship betwixt Fang Fang and Yi Yang. Even though it was established that they started dating, I would've liked to encounter at least ane kiss. I hateful heck, even Mu Nian and Xin Ya kissed! Although past accident.
I did really like the last part where Yi Yang came into a buffet where Fang Fang was having java with a friend and he would just have that friend's java like 'Are you sitting here (aka Become out, I wanna sit hither)?' and Fang Fang was like 'I'chiliad so deplorable, he merely e'er acts like this', like he was a desperately behaving puppy. They fabricated a actually beautiful couple and I would've liked to see some more moments between them in-betwixt all the Feng and Qing Qing stuff.

Honestly it felt similar watching Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo all over again. That drama healed my heart and information technology was but cute and fluffy and romantic and lovely and even the 'dramatic' parts where just passing ships that went away without too much ado. I actually enjoyed watching Accidentally in Love. I would definitely recommend it for a sabbatical of lovely romance.
I wish to find more Chinese dramas similar this, these are the ones I can have even though there was still dubbing over the original voices and the usual. But information technology actually didn't bother me in this case! There is yet promise! The acting was as well adept, sometimes there were some exaggerated things but that just fitted really well with the kind of story that information technology was. It needed the animation element, it needed that occasional baroque humoristic element to make it. It wasn't the kind of drama that needed actual heavy themes or 'drama drama'. It was great and enjoyable the way it was.

I'll exist back soon! I now make a schedule how many dramas I watch in a certain amount of months and I yet have room for series I can stop in October so I'll just have to determine which one is next! Stay tuned!
