Another Me (2019)

Wow- Just a ridiculous

So I started watching this drama thinking well another slice of life drama with some life lessons boy was I disappointed.
Story- The story had potential but was poorly progressed. I don’t understand why there were so many fights that were resolved quickly. The issue for me is the fact that these were very serious relationship shattering issues that rock the core fundamentals of relationships things like trust, family etc where seemingly resolved by a quick conversation and everything is okay the next day.

There was no chemistry at all from qiyue and jiaming I don’t know who cast these two. The relationship triangle between the three main leads was never really explored. It was clear who fell in love with who at the beginning but some 30 episodes in its not ever fully explored or resolved. I loved the relationship between Asheng and jiyue. I thought they had chemistry again it never really progressed from sibling relationship to actual romance.

I had to skip several episodes of this long drawn out poorly written drama.
I cant fault the acting from some of the characters but it was just not enough to keep me engaged. A lot of reviews spoke about the never ending sadness that Ansheng had to go through but that for me was never the issue because there are people who seem to never catch a break it was just how it was developed.

I would not recommend a rewatch. Terrible in my opinion if you want to waste 53 hrs of your life please watch.

Although I haven't watched all episodes, I can already tell that this drama will be one of my favourites for the year. I first heard about it when I found out Shen Yue would be starring in it-I didn't especially enjoy her role in 'meteor garden' but I thought that maybe she improved in this role and I was not disappointed. Her acting so far has been exceptional and authentic.

The story is basically about two women who have been best friends since youth but have totally opposing personalities. Qi Yue is more logical, straight forward and prefers to have her future planned out whereas An sheng is free spirited, open minded and careless. I think, in ways, it is a coming of age story. There are quite a few complications that arise between time like falling for the same guy and jealousy but the portrayal of these complications are done so realistically and honestly, hats off to all the cast (especially Shen yue , Cui Bao Yue and Dylan Xiong). I can empathise with an Sheng so much and I adore her character. I also think that people shouldn't be so harsh on Qi Yue. Yes she can be quite stubborn and ignorant, but we really have to view thing from her perspective. I don't know what the future holds for this drama but the cinematography, acting, story and music is undeniably beautiful.
