HOW CHINESE DRAMA UNFORGETTABLE LOVE SHOWED US THE IMPORTANCE OF A FAMILY + REVIEW!

Family provides support and security

They love and understand you

They protect you from external influences

Family gives the earth a center!

It's an important foundation to raise a child

They aid in making decisions

Family makes us who we are

A Cdrama with a decent storyline and acting – filled with romance and enough comedic value, but fell short in delineating the main conflict.

Story: 8.5 / 10

Although already an overused plot, contractual relationships never get old. We always welcome dramas where this trope gets creatively re-used, and this time, it's in the form of an established CEO getting into a contractual marriage with a child psychologist to help treat his son's PTSD. The drama hit it off with me from the get-go! It took a few episodes before the story set foot on the main plot — a very sane move 'coz the drama will surely appear half-baked if done otherwise. Of course, this cliché story will never be complete without our bickering main couple, their funny yet heart-fluttering forced skinship, until love comes into fruition in their pseudo-affair.

But then, as much as I wanted to give it a perfect 10, the number of loopholes I tried to overlook in the drama (especially towards the end) is intolerable. The ending is sweet but feels rushed. The accident that drove the story into what it is wrapped up so prematurely. I still give it to them that the backstory is not what I expected. I just wished they gave us more narrative about it, tie up the loose ends, and round it all off.

Acting/Cast - 9 / 10

The whole casts are exceptional, even our cutie-pie Lennon Sun who played the adorable Xiaobao. I heard Lennon was just 4 years old at the time of filming and that Unforgettable Love is his first drama, but I can never tell 'coz he nailed the role perfectly! If you can just imagine how I melted when I heard Xiaobao speak for the first time in the drama. He's grown on me ever since the first scene I saw him.

As for our main couple, I didn't buy the chemistry between Miles Wei and Hu Yixuan at first. But as episodes went along, I came to acknowledge how cute their pairing is! Their kissing scenes are not awkward to watch (they drove me crazy as a matter of fact). Miles, Yixuan, and Lennon's acting are well-coordinated, making them naturally look like a lovely family of three.

I've no issues with the supporting casts as well, except for one - Shi Qing Yan's portrayal as Lin Wei is excellent, but the drama made her character seem like a filler to the story. I get it that Lin Wei's supposed to help build up the tension and disturb our CP's blossoming romance. However, after the troubles she caused in Qiaoyan's company and life, she just fled off from the picture and eventually sought comfort with (none other than) Ning Fang. Like... What?! The writers are to blame, I know. And I, too, will approve to give everyone a happily ever after. Nevertheless, isn't this last-minute matchmaking rather offbeat? I don't know, but there, I said it.

Music 8 / 10

The OSTs have a low recall to me (except for the opening theme) but they fit very well with the scenes in the drama.

Rewatch value - 8.5 / 10

There are lots of better dramas than this, but Xiaobao is enough of a reason to make me rewatch this drama some time in the future. I still can't get enough of his cuteness!

Overall rating: 8.5 / 10

It's a pity that the drama's potential flaked out at the last minute. But if you're just in for the fun and will not try to overthink, I'm sure watching this will be an enjoyable ride. Just beware of the occasional moments offering secondhand embarrassment and sexual tensions giving pure cringe. Overall, Unforgettable Love is one cute and fun Cdrama to binge on♥︎
