Count your Lucky Stars (2020)

This is mainly praise for the actors and their skills

The first thing i love is the fact that shen yue is the remake shancai and jerry yan is original dao ming si i havent watch any of the meteor gardens yet but i love shen yue she's a great actress and i never dislike her characters and i think she gets really amazing projects ive watched some of them and im planning to watch the others too. this is jerry yans return to acting after like a long time and it just so happens to be with shen yue they have good chemistry and i know about the age gap but jerry yan does not look 40+ and IK! youve seen that pic of jerry yan that went viral and the rest of the cast was ok except miles wei he was excellent here also watch perfect and casual its great its stars miles wei and Ruohan Xu a great newcommer ok back to topic the bad stuff alot of people can guess but this has alot of toxic tropes that gets tiring like how the guy pushes the FL away and is rude to her but thank god they fixed that quick also the the annoying girl here is just so annoying like girl take a hint

This Is One Of My Favorite Drama

I think this drama is very quite good story because I know Jerry Yan is very quite guy same thing as Shen Yue Its very funny about the age gap I am just love this drama I was funny in many episode especially the refrence to Meteor Garden about the line is If the apologies is working why we should need a police I think a male lead did change at least 8 outfits especially he wears with red suit and new clothes for him I am still liking about the scene where he is taking a bath because its very weird about the bathtub scene due to his body is exposed especially he is sexy at 40s

New Shancai & Original Dao MingSi

It's honestly very good. Each episode is fairly well written and gets to the point. Tong Xiaoyou (Shen Yu) haa super strong back bone for a female lead and I really like to watch that. Lu Xingcheng (Jerry Yan) is an amazing actor, he plays his role well and you can feel the emotions the script wrote. I first found out their age gap of 20 years blew my mind. Normally age gaps that large for main role/leads never feel connected or communicated very well when watching but this surprised me how well they actually worked together and you could feel "comfortable" watching these leads. Ruru (Jackie Li) gets on my nerves in the further episodes because she moves back and forth with the two Lu's and whom her character likes for Xiaoyou at that moment. All in all a very nice and well written Chinese( Taiwanese) Romance Drama!

Fraco e arrastado

Bem, eu gosto muito do Miles Wei, acho ele um bom ator, já fez papéis diferentes, como o deste drama. Sobre o Jerry Yan, é a ó segundo drama que assisto dele, mas eu sinto que era o mesmo personagem, mas em contexto diferentes, por isso ainda tô decidindo se gosto dele. Dei uma segunda chance pra Shen Yue, então decidi assistir esse drama e nossa, não via a hora de acabar o tempo de tela dela.
Acho até que começou bem com aquela história de sorte, mas eu senti como se tivessem forçando o tema o tempo inteiro, aí esqueciam do tema e depois retomavam com ele.
Quando aos personagens, não achei nenhum personagem carismático, não consegui me conectar e nem torcer por nenhum, fiquei realmente triste pq nem os personagens secundários eram agradáveis.
Eu apenas esperava que cada episódio acabasse logo. Enfim, achei que foi super arrastado, os enredos eram chatos e sem graça, os problemas não eram resolvidos, simplesmente eram esquecidos e ficava por isso mesmo. E o fim nem pareceu um fim, fizeram 34 episódios pra não ter um final decente.

Really honest review

Cast? Acting? Absolutely stunning and splendid. The drama did feel a little draggy to me nonetheless. But there’s one thing that has been bugging me, which is that I’m not sure if the drama is being dubbed. I’ve heard Jerry Yan’s and Shen Yue’s voices in dramas that weren’t dubbed, but somehow I feel that for this drama it’s being dubbed which made me feel a little iffy.

But I would have definitely preferred if there was more progress in Xiao You’s career; after all it was her dream to become a fashion designer!

Other than that, I definitely have second lead syndrome in this drama; Miles Wei definitely the guy I would go for (if I can haha!)

Sizzling chemistry was the star of the show!

pros of this drama:
- don’t be fooled by the age gap, the leads have AMAZING CHEMISTRY
- the visuals of shen yue and jerry are off the charts
- nice cinematography and colour scheme
- the fashion side is somewhat interesting
- side couples were cute
- top notch acting from the cast.
- i loved that they used everyone’s real voices! jerry’s taiwan accent is so cute!

cons:
- everything else lol
i understand that it’s a slow paced drama and not meant to be romance centred but the leads got to together far too late. i lost interest in this drama around episode 22. barely any fluffy cute scenes after they became a couple. the storyline was overall uneventful, considering the romantic aspect wasn’t strong. ML had little character development until episode 34 and never communicated with the FL. i did not find ML’s personality enjoyable to watch. overall a 7.5/10.

it’s a good drama but would not watch again. i look forward to jerry yan’s and shen yue’s future projects. always a pleasure to see them act :)

Chemistry

Personally, the plot wasn't very interesting to me (and felt a bit slow paced), but I kept watching 'cause the actors did an AMAZING job and the main leads had lots of chemistry.
From the first episode, I had the impression that the drama would contain more comedic scenes (sadly not much-would have been cool to play with the interpretation of luck more literally), however they had loads of sweet moments and most importantly the ML wasn't an irrational jerk. For once, I could actually stand the main love interest while pitying the second lead rather than despising him.

The elephant in the room

I don't have a huge problem with people who have a big age difference falling in love with each other in real life as long as the relationship starts once they are both consenting adults and they don't have a prior relationship with an imbalance of power, ie teacher/student, family friend ect.
However, I think what works against this drama is the fact that the two leads are 20 years apart in age, there IS a power imbalance in their relationship, he is her boss, and the Female Leading Actress looks even younger than her character is supposed to be.

Shen Yue is 24 in the drama but looks like she's 16-18 years old and Jerry Yan is very handsome but he looks every minute of his 44 years of age. If he looked to be late 30s and she actually looked to be mid 20s, I believe the audience would have been more forgiving and not really spoken about it much...but the way it is, too many focused on that to the exclusion of everything else about the drama.

IF you can manage to get past all that, the drama itself isn't that bad. It has some good lessons about life, there's some good give and take between the couple, and though it's a bit too long it still manages to hold your attention for all 34 episodes.

I've watched this but I don't think I could rewatch it except in clips. I would give it a 7 and if they had managed to make Shen Yue look her age I probably would have given it a higher rating.

Um enredo promissor com uma execução irregular

Terminei esse drama há pouco tempo e a primeira impressão que tenho é que não voltaria a vê-lo. É um drama que uma vez assistido é o suficiente. Não há nada memorável que possa prender o telespectador, deixar saudade ou se tornar um drama de conforto. A Shen Yue que faz a protagonista entrega bem aquilo que se espera de incontáveis mocinhas de comédia romântica chinesa. As vezes tenho a impressão que assisto ao mesmo personagem atuado por diferente atrizes em diferente trabalhos. Mas considero como uma crise de falta de roteiros interessantes ou o mercado chinês tem uma alta demanda pelo enredo da mocinha azarada, fraca e de personalidade fofa que encontra um protagonista atormentado pelo passado e que trata mal todo mundo. Alô Ministério do Trabalho! É o primeiro trabalho que eu assisto do Jerry Yan e o protagonista dele quase não tem vida. A arrogância do personagem está um pouco ali mas no geral achei uma atuação apática. Preciso assistir a outro trabalho dele para saber se é do ator ou foi a forma como foi dirigido os personagens. No geral achei um elenco extremamente fraco salvo algumas exceções como a amiga da protagonista desempenhada muito bem pela Yang Zi e seu parceiro de cena dono do restaurante. Pelo pano de fundo ser o universo da moda deixou muito a desejar nesse quesito. Não sei se foi o caso de uma produção de baixo orçamento mas os figurinos do protagonista eram pouquíssimos , o da protagonista até que se salva. Na parte dos designs também deixou a desejar. Faltou o glamour do universo fashion. Quanto ao casal protagonista é complicada essa insistência numa personagem em seus 20 poucos anos sendo apenas fofa, ingênua e indefesa. Tem um age gap de 10 anos entre os personagens e de 20 anos na vida real entre os atores, esse último aparentemente gerou controvérsias. Mas esse não é o foco discutido nesse drama. Teve até um certo desenvolvimento de personagem mas é um pouco inverossímil o desenvolvimento deles como casal faltou naturalidade mas isso é um problema que percebo como recorrente nas romcom chinesa. No mais poderia ter menos episódios, talvez 24 seriam suficientes.
