Le Coup de Foudre | Review

With Skate into Love premiering soon I thought I’d reminisce a little about the beloved Wu Qian. She’s one of my favourite actresses but I’m hoping she has a new type of character to add to her resume.

This drama actually took me 14 episodes to stay engaged. I still don't buy Zhang Yu Jian as a high schooler. Much, much preferred them in their adult life when she has to relentlessly win him back and he’s just as prickly as ever
