Flash Review: You Are My Lover Friend [China]

One of the drama lessons I’ve been learning lately, is that second chances can be very rewarding, and that is absolutely the case, with this show.

I’d checked out this show’s first 4 episodes, while auditioning dramas to cover on Patreon, and had picked The Judge From Hell instead, because that show just struck me as being much more watchable and engaging.

Normally, when this kind of thing happens, I often don’t end up watching the show that I didn’t pick, despite my best intentions, and it honestly looked like this one was in danger of being left by the wayside for me too.

But then, I recently decided to go back to this one on a whim, while casting about for a new drama nightcap after finishing Perfect and Casual (review here!), and I ended up enjoying this one very well, you guys.

See what I mean about second chances potentially being rewarding? 🥲

It’s taken me a while to get around to checking it out (I was intimidated by the 40-episode length, and I was also always distracted by newer, shinier dramas coming out all the time), but I’ve finally watched it, and I finally geddit. 😍

If you like slice-of-life / family dramas / found family stories, this one is right up there, along with the best ones I’ve seen.
