My Amazing Bride Review


Here’s my basic synopsis: it’s about a sane, wonderful woman falling in love with an intellectually disabled genius, wrapped up with a plot involving the dethronement of a king. 

This drama was completely overlooked. It’s got quality in terms of acting and plot. Despite the kiddish opening theme song, the drama’s got more heart than the silliness it’s desperately selling. True to its nature though, it was fun and zippy without being overladen with draggy clichés. If it’s a plus for you, you probably don’t need a box of Kleenex.

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 5



I'm really not used to watching an airing Chinese drama. I did know that they release multiple episodes a day but this being my first time recapping, I'll never be able to catch up to their airing schedule. Haha. 

Anywho, onto the actual episode: what we learn from this episode is that good things don't last.

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 4

This whole episode is dedicated to Mo Sheng and Yi Chen's university selves. Not my favourite but I really like the young Mo Sheng.

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 3



They finally talk! It’s little but there’s something at least. I’m going to skip the surnames just cause I had two episodes to get to know the characters. I should be familiar enough with them that I can drop them, right?

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 2


Onto episode two! I haven't quite gained back on what I invested but I'm still having faith in this show. The OTP better not bail on me. 

My Sunshine [何以笙箫默] Episode 1




         
From the same novelist, Gu Man, of “Boss & Me”/”Shan Shan Comes to Eat”, comes “My Sunshine” or “Silent Separation” (a direct translation from the Chinese title). I've decided to invest some of my love from “Boss & Me” to this new show by recapping it. It better satisfy my hangover from “Boss & Me”. First episode started off not with bang but quite decent, which is something because not a lot of Chinese dramas keep me at bay within the first 20 minutes. On a side note, If I were you, I'd totally refrain from watching Chinese drama trailers because they have no intention of hiding any spoilers… None.
