The Chinese drama A Romance of the Little Forest , starring Yu Shuxin and Zhang Binbin , officially ended with 35 episodes on Wednesday, October 12, 2022. This Youku-produced drama presents a love story between fashion blogger Yu Meiren (Yu Shuxin) and Zhuang Yu (Zhang Binbin), a professor of botany.
When Yu Meiren was still a student, she had feelings for Zhuang Yu. However, the young man accidentally hurt his heart. Several years later, Yu Meiren who had received her Ph.D. in the field of ornithology prefers to be a fashion blogger. Unexpectedly, fate brought together Yu Meiren and Zhuang Yu again. This meeting later became the turning point of their relationship.
Since before it aired, A Romance of the Little Forest has been the subject of many netizens' conversations. One reason is that, in the midst of the rise of Chinese dramas adapting stories from popular novels and manhuas, A Romance of the Little Forest offers stories that are purely scripted. In addition, netizens are also busy talking about the main characters of this drama, namely Yu Shuxin and Zhang Binbin.
Previously, CP Zhang Binbin-Jing Tian in Rattan and Dylan Wang-Yu Shuxin in Love Between Fairy and Devil had deeply rooted in people's hearts. These two CPs are considered iconic because they have very strong chemistry . When they heard that the drama Yu Shuxin and Zhang Binbin would be airing soon, many wondered if the chemistry between the two could surpass the chemistry with their previous co-stars.
When A Romance of the Little Forest finally airs, Yu Shuxin and Zhang Binbin's chemistry is surprisingly good. The cold male and warm girl characters they play may sound marketable to some people. However, Yu Shuxin and Zhang Binbin managed to pull it off in an unmarketable way. Yu Shuxin and Zhang Binbin's interactions throughout the drama are considered very sweet.
This should be able to make the audience feel at home to watch this drama until the last episode. However, there is one thing that many people find annoying. As the episode of A Romance of the Little Forest progressed , the second couple, namely Li Tiantian (Li Jiaqi) and Ding Guansen (Jin Xi), actually seemed to be more prominent. The screentime they get even exceeds the main couple, Yu Meiren and Zhuang Yu.
From the widely circulated behind-the-scenes video, viewers also discovered that many scenes of Yu Shuxin and Zhang Binbin were cut out and left out of the drama. This undoubtedly pissed off a lot of viewers. As if to answer the audience's concerns, one of the producers of A Romance of the Little Forest , Wu Yunshan , said in an interview reported by Sohu Entertainment News, that the second season of the drama is being prepared.
Wu Yunshan said the production team had accommodated various criticisms from the audience, ranging from those related to editing techniques to the shorter main character scenes. Therefore, they will make up for it in the second season of A Romance of the Little Forest which is currently in the preparation stage. In the second season, Wu Yunshan made sure to serve more "sugar" as redemption.
