The Moment My Heart Beats (2020)

enjoyable, but not for everyone

I hate to say this but it was borderline agonizing for me to finish this. I had a pretty positive expectation that I'd enjoy this after the first few episodes, but then on the latter part of the drama my attention went haywire like WeiWei's electricity lol. For some reason, the story and acting can't capture my full attention anymore. I was powering through it for the sake of finishing the drama.

Pros: It started off pretty light and not-so cliched. The side CPs are quite interesting, except for the class head/rich barista girl CP (their chemistry is pretty forced imo). The plot itself is illogical but everybody's actions/reactions are pretty logical and relatable in most scenes. ZLH's acting here is already pretty decent, just a few moments where he seemingly couldn't hold the emotions or the scene. LMS is also cute and very easy to the eyes. She's good at the emotional scenes but in others she looks reserved. The senior/ex crush of FL started off promising until he did /that/.

Cons: Where do I start? lol. As a medical professional myself I wish they didn't include the medical intervention for WeiWei's condition because this is no sci-fi and they did it sloppily anyway, plus the raincoat with exposed arms and feet... lol that part just felt too insulting to anyone who would dare think twice about the scenario ? I also felt sour that they made Xia Rui do that, but never apologized to WeiWei when she took most of the brunt for what he did. She should demand medical and psychological damages for that ahh but he only apologized to MSC wth?? I thought the romance would be the saving grace for this but unfortunately the friendship dynamics felt more real. I always felt like ZLH was one step ahead of LMS when it came to the romance scenes. That's where he excelled the most here, plus the comedic timing. Sometimes I felt like he was dating a high schooler especially when they dress her like one most of the time. Then for the crying scenes it's LMS who does it naturally. It seems there's always an imbalance that I can't get on board with their romance especially when they got together. In the last episode I just felt relieved that I reached the ending.

In any case, this is one of both leads' early works so it's already pretty decent performance from everyone. It didn't feel too draggy and the OSTs are nice. It's pretty enjoyable for people looking for something light and cutesy to watch.

It's a little meh

The premise of the story is based off the cliche saying "my heart only beats for you." It a really subpar story line since it's not much comedy nor much chemistry going on between the two lead characters. The problem isn't the acting, it's the script, it uses the most cliche cliche but it couldn't execute in the best possible way. I can see why it would be an interesting story but it's concerning on how it escalates very quickly then becomes slightly boring after that escalation.

The male lead plays a cool and handsome character in the first episode then an episode later he becomes the complete opposite fitting that little puppy stereotype in romance comedies. I hope to see a better character development and would prefer it if the comedic parts aren't so forced.

i dont find it a good drama

The plot is really bad , ever since he changed a fell in love with the FL, the entire drama went downfall, i thought he was quite swag at first, but later he just became an idiot and such a simp, the acting is so far very good tho. The music is very suitable as they are very pleasant and kinda matches all the scenes, but the plot is just really bad. If you are a fan of a drama with a handsome ML and more of a male chase female drama, this might suite you but just keep in mind that sometimes it is really cringy and sometimes annoying but this is purely my personal opinion.
