The Fox's Summer (2017– ) User Reviews

Fun & Bingeable but wide plot holes

[Dawnine · 7/10 · 9 May 2022]

A fun romance set in Beijing China with well-played, though sometimes exaggerated and one-dimensional characters. A little trite in some areas and weird (from perhaps a western-cultural viewpoint) behaviorisms and portrayals of romance.

Still even with that said, I enjoyed the series. It's a bit reliant on flashbacks but that might've irritated me more due to binging it in such a short time. Additionally some of the plot may have gotten lost in auto-translate, as I was not able to watch it with official/professional subtitles (though many idioms were explained).

I enjoyed the boy pursues girl trope as well as the reluctant suitor / reversed reaction overlay and there were plenty of obstacles for them to conquer... all in all, I binged both seasons in two days.

My Dream Drama

[arafathrahman24 · 10/10 · 8 August 2019]

Wondering why such a beautiful drama has low star rating.

This is another good exapmle where cannot go only based on ratings.

I dont write review most of trhe time but this time I would love to wrtie of the Female lead. I simply love each bit of Female lead scenes, her role was fantastic.

This is highly recommended to watch if you love Romcom KDrama or CDrama.

Truly disgusted by The Fox's Summer

[Bibiliography · 1/10 · 26 September 2022]

I'm surprised Seven Tan was involved with this sort of insipid, poorly written and poorly acted romance drama. The ML, with his weird jawline and greasy face, is an appalling actor who needs to go back to acting school. In addition to all that, the script writers and the director thought it was funny to dress one of the main leads in Black face and fake dreadlocks. Not only was it implicitly racist, it added nothing to the plot and was in no way funny.

(The best-laid plans should never be expected to go well.

Gu Cheng Ze (Jiang Chao) is the CEO of the Gu Mall Corporation. But his adopted family wants their biological son, Gu Jin Yu (Daniel Zhang), to take over the reigns of family company and puts Cheng Ze in charge of grooming the heir.

When Cheng Ze learns that Jin Yu still harbors feelings for his ex-girlfriend, fashion designer Li Yan Shu (Tan Song Yun), Cheng Ze hires her to join the company to entice Jin Yu to join the company. The plan works until Jin Yu's disapproving mother demands that Chang Ze separate Jin Yu and Yan Shu.

When Cheng Ze starts to develop feelings for Yan Shu, what will become of his carefully laid plans?

"The Fox's Summer" is a 2017 Chinese drama series directed by Yu Zhong Zhong. The story continues in "The Fox's Summer Season 2" (2017). The series is based on the online novel When the President Falls in Love by Shen Cang Mei.)

Waste of time

[elbehar · 5/10 · 6 March 2024]

No matter how hard I tried I could not make myself watch till the end. To be honest if it wasn't for the story (has potencial) or the cute CEO I wouldn't have given it 5 stars.

I found the leading female to be rude, inconsiderate, disrespectful for others and she still believes she is entitled to ev everything. Down right annoying. I was deeply disappointed.

The leading man, like most, was proudful, order freak with a tad or a germaphobe. I guess it's understandable when you are just filling in for the true heir Gu Jin Yu (Daniel Zhang), while he is out partying and having a good time.

It all becomes a big mess when feeling start flying around and jealousy comes in to interrupt a perfectly laid out plan.
