its really neat how will love in spring uses the crossing of boundaries, and seemingly uncouth behavior when it comes to both sexual advances and responses, as a way to spotlight the lack of autonomy afforded many disabled people in romance. zhuang jie using that supposed lack of autonomy as a weapon against chen mai dong, a narrative callback to their first interaction, is a projection of the ableism shes faced. her inability to take full ownership for her actions is an internalization of that same infantilization. its very difficult to create characters whose mistakes line up completely with their situations, and in all the discourse and discussion many often forget that disabled people internalize the message that there'll never be equal footing in a relationship with able-bodied people. pairing her against a character like chen mai dong, who ignores parts of her disabled identity almost to the point of ignorance, forces both of them to introspect as they grow into their relationship and forces the audience to examine how they view interabled relationships.
#will love in spring#jie needs that bpd diagnosis stat#but thats not important rn#i love them tgthr so bad...#but i also find it interesting that the audience so easily paints maidong under those green flag brushstrokes#and disregards the dramas pointed statements that you cannot be in a rship with a disabled person#simply by treating them like 'everybody else'#What a show tbh

Chen Maidong. You're not someone like that, right? Like what? Someone who lives in the moment. I live in the moment when I'm with you.

Chen Maidong, you have a nice profile. You sit in front of me, and you say I have a nice profile. Isn't that not convincing enough?

Will Love In Spring (ongoing drama) review so far. Spoilers for up to episode 12 below.
Chen Maidong First and foremost, the most random observation I *have* to make : why is Chen Maidong's name so yellable? LOL Like CHEN MAIDONG WHEN I CATCH YOU CHEN MAIDONG!
Speaking of Chen Maidong... I think it'd be too easy to characterize him as a red flag (okay, given my personal history, maybe I'm not the best person to make this argument but, hear me out). I think he's represented more as a complex, imperfect character. Definitely not a knight in shining armor but also not a complete liú máng or hún dàn.
Argument 1) if Zhuang Jie didn't call out his issues (like him not letting go of the grievances he has towards his parents) - then yeah. Put him down as a red flag. But they discuss his past, her past, and I think they're transparent about the fact that neither are perfect people or good at relationships.
Argument 2) The drama does a fairly good job at representing the different personality aspects of Chen Maidong (CM from here on out). CM at work = gravitas. Respect. Utmost professional. CM with his friends = a glimpse of his mischievous/troubled past self from high school. CM with Chen Nai Nai = also a bit mischievous, bit gruff, but an obviously devoted grandson as well.
I'm not a huuuuuge fan of the grabbing and kabedon-ing but also those aren't dealbreakers for me in analyzing his character. This is fiction, a drama, and while that doesn't fly in real life (huge red flag in real life!) I can overlook it as more "relationship/personality flaws" than OMFG ZHUANG JIE RUN GIRL RUN.
Xixia/Cui Ge However, the main point of this post is our beloved (to me) side couple, City Girl and truly MVP of besties Xixia and the mysterious??? Cui Ge.
It legitimately took a minute for my brain to reconcile the smooth, suave, dangerous mafia type dude in a black suit from episode 9 (funeral home scene) with the goofy dude waving hello at the mall.
But I double checked! Today! Right before typing this post up and it IS indeed our Cui Ge. I'm wondering if there's an additional background to him or if the drama will show him like CM, with multiple facets.
I'd say 99% of the time, I am not a fan of side couples. At all. Most of them feel like a waste, their stories are never interesting (more of a distraction), and rarely am I enamored with the casting. Not really the fault of the actors but the lazy scriptwriting that's done where they become an afterthought.
Xixia/Cui Ge though? I'm so invested.
The drama has done a fabulous job of building up Xixia as a believable character in her own right. Although we don't have too many scenes with her, we know enough about her where we can predict her being not too impressed at all with Cui Ge during the lunch scene.
The amount of second hand cringe I felt during that entiiiiire scene, up until the end where he reached across to acupressure massage her scalp, I was screaming no no no CUI GE DON'T DO IT DON'T- welp.
It'll be interesting to see Xixia's relationship develop with him.
Last sidenote but one of my friends is also streaming this with me and we LOATHE Ji Tong so much. She's nicknamed him Fucktong (lmao) and honestly, fitting. (No hate to the actor though - truly a great casting call.)

Lingshan Hermit: The Queen and Li Lianying
We live in a marvelous era where some people cultivate various fruits, vegetables, and flowers on their balconies just so their wives can always have fresh vegetables to eat; others make thousands of dumplings and freeze them before going on a business trip, ensuring their wives have something to eat without resorting to takeout. Chen Maidong says to Zhuang Jie in a TV drama, "Life is unpredictable, and things change; no one should sacrifice for anyone else." Every day, we see many such stories unfolding. Whenever I see this kind of news, I sigh deeply, as it increasingly deters men from marrying and women from finding satisfactory partners. They become accustomed to such dramas and videos, expecting to find men who always put them first, believing such behavior constitutes a normal life: he would run streets to buy her breakfast, fill the balcony with flowers and vegetables for her, handle all the finances, and be attuned to every nuance of her emotions. They think this is what it means to be treated well.
Many women don't realize their single status may stem from watching too many of these videos. They expect men to treat them like queens or princesses, revolving around them daily, unaware that normal men have jobs, worries, family, friends, and their own issues. Normal men can lose their temper, have faults, and can't be expected to constantly revolve around you, nor manage everything perfectly. No matter how much he loves you, he ultimately loves himself more. Many women try to prolong the indulgence they receive from men courting them, akin to constantly walking on tiptoes, which is unsustainable. A normal man will fulfill his responsibilities and obligations but won't do everything that is traditionally the woman's role. Personally, I find it inconceivable that a physically capable woman can't manage her meals while her husband is away, and it's even more unbelievable for a man to post online, glorifying his wife's laziness as an accomplishment because it can corrupt many people, escalating their delusions. If you encounter a man who seems perfect—great at cooking, treats you well, is emotionally supportive, willing to spend money, and is wealthy—he's likely either a con artist or a major fraud. The ones who can always serve and revolve around a queen are like Li Lianying, not normal men.
Such videos and TV shows are rampant now, corrupting many men and women, making it difficult for them to think, live, and marry normally. Due to a lack of foresight, it's easy to mistake harmful actions for love. You fall into a pit and feel grateful to the person who dug it for you. This primarily happens because those erroneous things appear correct. They seem right because the devil is a million times smarter than ordinary people; he knows what you want, what you like, what will hook you, and what will confuse you. So, he will do everything to make all the wrong things look reasonable, wrapping all devilish theories in the most modern and trendy ideologies. Not just ordinary people, even the most intelligent scholars can't discern this. He will mix all harmful poisons with honey, making you fall for them at first sight, thinking they are good, and then swallow them willingly.

Review so far of "Will Love In Spring" (ongoing Cdrama). Spoilers below up until episode 8.
[Image ID : Actors Li Xian and Zhou Youtong are on a sofa. The man is smiling while the long haired woman looks up at him and also smiles. Title shows the name of the drama, Will Love In Spring.]
I'm glad I didn't let the poster influence me because I don't feel like it's a very accurate depiction of the drama.
Poster makes it seem like a very run of the mill romance. THANK GOODNESS IT IS NOT.
"Will love in spring" has unexpectedly been one of the best depictions of grief and death and life in a drama that I've seen. And I've seen many many dramas at this point in my life so, suffice it to say, it is incredibly well done.
Pros so far :
- Fair depiction of disability. Zhuang Jie is an amputee but there's just enough emphasis on the realities of living with a prosthetic (including the detail about her needing baths) without it being the ENTIRETY of her personality. Every drama needs to take notes on this.
- Blended family without drama. Although some may argue this is not realistic, I've become really tired of the exaggerated dynamics of step siblings/children/parents having manufactured arguments. He Shu is a wonderful stepfather while the siblings have an adorable relationship with each other. The mom is quite realistic as well, tough but loving.
- Interesting career choices - there's definitely morbid aspects of the hybrid mortician/embalmer job of Chen Maidong but that's not the main point. Yes, he's seen a lot of death and grieving but it also dictates how he views life and how to live life, with respect towards the dead
Cons (sort of) :
- This is not a con for me but I think some people may find the pacing very slow. To me, this is a VERY deliberate choice. It's a tried and true slice of life drama, not a romance. You'll be disappointed if you go into it with the expectations of a romance but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the many details that show what life is like in Nanping
- There's a LOT of death and discussions around it. This is not a con for me but I do tend to avoid hurt/comfort. I literally cried for an entire hour during episode 7 and my dogs were Very Concerned lol
- My actual one 'con' is that there's some very obvious nationalism that seeps in, especially regarding the push for the younger generation to return to "smaller" hometowns like Nanping instead of staying in cities like Shanghai/Beijing etc. To me, this shows a lot of government influence if not general Chinese nationalism vs a natural flow in the drama. There's definitely manufactured nostalgia that tends to be jarring but I've been ignoring that for the most part.
---
I do need to go and rewatch some episode of ShenLi because my chest still feels really spicy after watching episode 7 and 8 LOL So I'll get back to my thoughts on that but I hope other people give this new drama a shot.
Last but not least is a shoutout to legit the entire cast for their well-seasoned acting. Augh. Definitely a big reason why the drama is making a big impact on me.
