C-netizens Howl in Outrage Over the Hot Mess C-drama Here to Heart with Janine Chang and Hans Zhang

View Comments

• I was watching this on viki till I got frustrated by the leads miscommunication. And they were both fake dating someone else just to keep appearance with each other. I mean, just sit down and talk. So many episodes later and still nothing has been cleared between the two of them. Janine Chang is so pretty here

• One of the worst dragging drama of the year. I don't know the novel, but the drama is awful. It's so full of misunderstanding, they are completely unable to honestly talk. It's unbelievable how they produce a 45 episodes drama without a plot. Most of the episodes follows the same scheme. The male lead lies or omit something, female lead discovers it, is hurt, tries to stay away, male lead tells her she is bad because she can't separate business and private life, she cries. In the middle there are several business talks and that's all.
  Luckily I skipped a lot, so saved a lot of time, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

  • Yeah I went to read the comments on viki and gingerly stepped away. Even though I was interested because I had recently finished Boss and Me.

    Am back in Kdrama land where I am so behind on. Real life has been so crazy.

    But yeah the spoiler comments I read made me wary. I won't even bother checking out the ending when it ends. Why bother when the main leads are perpetually with someone else. It doesn't make sense.

  • I agreed too many secrets open your mouth Nuan and blast nanxian n yi .
    Less drama with mother and yi Co scene.

    • Yes Nuan should have told him about his engagement to yi zi. And everything she was doing to her. I skipped a lot.

• I dropped this for Moonshine and Valentine. Imo a modern drama should not go beyond 30 episodes. There's so many useless subplots once the episode count is high. The same for another drama - The Way We Were.

  • OMG! Moonshine and Valentines is seriously good. I'm so in love with this cdrama right now. Atleast, the two leads here does not keep secret from each other.

    • Same here. At least Helan means it when he says "I have never lied to you in this lifetime" (though i have a feeling that this will come back to hunt him one day). Love how the characters don't lie to each other. Can't get enough of it!

    • Here to Heart would be an amazing drama once you cut out n down the subplots. This is like 10 drama in one.Nuan n Nanxian story could be so much stronger if the misunderstanding was taken care of by ep 3...this is a stretch. Nuan was too understanding n forgiving of everyone who did her wrong. Nanxian played too many head games it became 2 much. Funny thing I always rewatch....about my 7th time....even with all the nonesense it's not a boring show.

  • Moonshine and Valentine is my current crack!! He Lan Da Ren is the best!

    • Am I the only one in love with left priest though? The last three episodes (13-16) made me such a fan. I really want him to be happy.

• Another great cdrama is Love's lies

• I was watching it but then dropped it because it was too frustrating to watch (i didnt read the book). Xian is annoying in how he allows everyone to misunderstand his relationship with Yi Xin, while waxing lyrical about his unchanging love for the Wen Nuan.

• So it wasn't just me. The filler in this drama was horrible.
  There was maybe just enough for 20 episodes or so and even that was a stretch. I skipped my way through the last half and only stuck with it because the leads did have amazing chemistry. What a waste.

• Thank goodness I left cdramas after my first one Princess Agents. Whew. In Thai drama land forever. Lol

• Cdramas always drag and it isn't that surprising actually seeing how there are all 40-50 episodes and with so many unnecessary side-characters. That's why I prefer Jdramas where it is only 10 episodes and the pace is good.

  • yes. 10 episodes of J-drama is great, but only one episode per week is so painful to wait... The two episodes per week of K-drama is better, but sometimes the story drags to fill up the 16 episodes...

  • Cdrama is all about investment and money. Station and streaming sites buys the drama by episodes count, so more episodes means more money.
    Then the fees for leads is high enough sometimes that some investment come from supporting role agency company. That's why nowadays supports have more screentime then the leads.

• The costumes in here where 99% beautiful. They put almost every plot device they could in one drama. Spoilers- Memory loss, disappearance, square romance not triangle romance, fake romance, horrible mother in law, back stabbers, older woman/younger man, popular boy where all your friends/family crush on, lack of communication then getting mad that you’re misunderstood, dead parents, suicide, one sided love confessions, businesss/love rivals. I only stuck around cause Janice was very pretty and the chemistry when she was onscreen with Hans was incredible. They could prob do a director’s cut of like 4 epi like Wallace’s My Sunshine. This and william’s only side by side could have been done in 20epi max. This one didn’t have too many flashbacks like William but both made me lose interest and was too draggy!!!

• What an great description fmod the supposed leads being relegated to starring Guest roles. That was how I felt about the drama..could not watch it past 5 episodes. Janine is very prett, but she had this one bewildered "why won't he love me" look the whole time with veey little change in facial expressions. Han Zheng at least can portray a more mature him which is different than his other dramas...but evwn then, I cannot tell if he loves Janine ir not or if he was just playing games with her. I guess, I will just go to the last episode and hit the fast forward button to see what happens at the end.
