You are desire(2023)
They say sometimes home is a person , I feel sometimes even healing is love in fact the purest form of love - healing each other from traumas and emotional damages we never overcame alone.
You are desire is not a typical youth romance Chinese drama as it's name and backdrop suggests - it's so much more than it. More than the romance I see the companionship more than the cliches I see the comfort, more than the romantic moments I see their trust. These days whenever I feel anxious I just feel these drama heals in its subtle ways showing that you can overcome everything if you have the right people not necessarily always around you but in your heart too.
Sometimes you have to let go off the past and at other times you need to accept the situation you are in. It's beautiful even when two people are struggling they can be the sunshine for each other. I guess it's the silent message from this drama which has made me fall in love with it.
A TIGHT HUG FROM YOUR FAVOURITE PERSON IS ALL THAT YOU NEED!!!! This parallels are insane specially to think about its when one of them have a breakdown and the other comforts.

DRAMA REVIEW | You Are Desire (2023)
From the very start I was very impressed with this drama. The first episode felt grounded in reality and presented all the main characters as young adults behaving like such but also with a level of maturity that felt respectful. Sometimes youth dramas don't know how to balance the growing pains, friendship and romance but You Are Desire does it perfectly.
Xia Feng Yan created a story with solid development based on actual growing from well rounded characters that act and react in ways that feel natural. I am amazed this is her first project and I will keep an eye on her because she has a bright future.
Deng Ke (My Huckelberry Friends) also started in the industry as a screenwriter before transitioning into directing, so it was a perfect fold for Xia's story. He understood the assignment and complemented the script with beautiful cinematography, camera movements and choice of cast.
This drama could have died in the hands of a lesser cast but Zhou Yiran and Zhuang Dafei carried the drama flawlessly. Most of the story centers around them and how they interact with others when loneliness has been a part of their young lives for a long time. The supporting cast were also at their best, each with their own lives and struggles which made them well rounded individuals and not an artifact to push the leads's story.
All of these elements created a beautiful group of people dealing with different experiences. A slice of life drama where we understand the world is not always fair and parents make mistakes; where people need to learn to grieve in a healthy way. That families can all look very different from each other and that's okay as long there's love. That you don't always pass the university exam and your workplace might suck. A world where you fall in love and support one another as you grow together with a clear understanding of each other. That life can be sweeter when you are surrounded of good people who truly appreciate you.
Overall, You Are Desire it's a wonderful story that enjoyed from the very first episode to the last one. Criminally underrated, for sure, as I don't understand how more people are not talking about what is probably one of 2023's best cdramas.
