A nice rom-com with strong msg that every girl needs to watch

This show tackles various complex themes through divorce cases, spotlighting issues that impact women, such as self-respect, career struggles, single motherhood, alimony, and child support. The plot delves into how women are often treated as "options" throughout different life stages: wives and daughters are abandoned for younger mistresses, granddaughters are overshadowed by potential grandsons, and girlfriends are deceived financially for selfish gains. The narrative doesn’t shy away from hard-hitting issues—like a woman being unfairly shamed after a pregnancy resulting from assault, or a talented, successful woman being harassed by her insecure husband, who can’t handle her achievements.

Story Overview:

The show is a feel-good office rom-com centered around a law firm founded by two best friends. Our main male lead (ML) struggles with insomnia, while the parallel male lead (PML) is rekindling his old flame after her recent divorce. The plot flows at a comfortable pace—not too fast, not too slow—and mixes in plenty of comedy with well-matched chemistry between the leads.

Along the way, the insomniac ML finds that his cure just might be the company of the female lead (FL). Meanwhile, the FL’s elder sister happens to be the high school crush of our PML.



Casyt is amazing..there are so many actors and all of them were extremely good.
the Actor playing ML is good looking but his acting is what caught my attention, I have seen very less actors who can hold one expression for so long ..wow .. moreover his contrast between tyrant boss and timid bf was amazing. I genuinely loved his performance.


The actress playing FL is so cute ..her pleasant,cheerful and not very sexy appearance is very apt for this role .. her acting was good as well. other female characters parallel female lead, the vamp and office bestie were also good.. especially the office bestie, she is gorgeous. The ML's mom was love.

The ending was not up my taste .. I didn't like the idea that ML was waiting for like atleast 7 years just to get married ( judging by the kid age) .. I believe in women empowerment but not like this .. he supports him so much getting married wouldnt have hurt her career as for matter there is no such prejudice in law field



Overall a good drama worth watching

Didn't want this night to come to an end ...

About the story
The drama was good ..like real good. . the plot was interesting.. good paced less cliche .. dialogues/ script were to the point .. there is balanced amount of suspence , mystery , chase ,action and romance .


About the cast
The ML (Jesse ren) was amazing I have seen him in support role in a few dramas but this was my first time watching him as lead ... And he did commendable job ... He is in such a great shape .. his act was also good and his kissing scenes were bomb
. 💣💣💣 ..HE IS THE ONLY ACTOR I HAVE SEEN WHO USES HIS TONGUE WHILE KISSING ONSCREEN Like moving it all the way inside the co actress mouth 😆😆😆 (or tell me they were dating for real)
FL is such a cutie .. I must say she is one of the most gorgeous girls I have seen in Cdramas far far better than a lot cdrama actresses who look excessively plastic and can't act at all. Her acting was also good the only thing that I felt odd about her acting was she didn't keep a good difference between the double roles she played (both sister's characters were extremely over lapping)

About the music
It was fine for a drama ost nothing appealing as such

Re-watch value
I read the comments section of this drama on YouTube and there were already a lot of viewers who were watching it for third and fourth time ... I myself will definitely come back to this one ..❤️❤️

Overall this drama was totally worth my time .

Check-In for the brilliant Cast, Check-Out for the Plot

Let’s be real—the show rolls out the same tired plot we’ve seen a million times: the classic heir versus the illegitimate child in an epic struggle for inheritance. Honestly, I could hear the collective groan of K-drama fans everywhere as we trudge through this overused storyline. The opening had me intrigued, but somewhere between the predictable plot twists and lackluster drama,I found myself wishing for a quick escape halfway through


Speaking of the cast, they do have their charm. I’m a fan of Lee Dong Wook, Lee Da Hae, Lee Deok Hwa, and Kim Hae Sook. Lee Da Hae nailed the mischievous young heiress vibe, adding just the right amount of sass to her character. But let’s be honest—Lee Dong Wook stole the show. I mean, the man looked so dapper in his suits that you’d almost consider getting pregnant just from a glance! (I know you’re imagining it too!)


In the end, I have mixed feelings about this drama. If you have a high threshold for boring plots and clichés, go ahead and check in. Otherwise, you might find yourself longing for a better stay elsewhere!

Timeless charm ❤️❤️

I initially avoided You're Beautiful due to its unappealing wallpaper, lackluster print, and an ordinary synopsis. But to my surprise, I had completely underestimated it. While the first episode was a bit of a slog, after skipping through some cringe-worthy parts, I reached a point where the story truly became engaging.

Though it may not be the best drama by today's standards, back in 2009, it must have been a blockbuster. Watching it made me nostalgic for the days when concealer doubled as nude lipstick, and bold pink blush was considered high-end fashion.

The plot is cute, old-school romantic, sweet, and family-oriented with a delightful comedic touch. And most importantly, there are no overly dramatic kisses—sometimes going back to basics can feel so refreshing! The chemistry between Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Suk is absolutely heartwarming, and I found myself falling in love with this couple. It reminded me of Boys Over Flowers with the girl being adored by three boys, but in some ways, this one was even better (no sudden trips abroad to separate the leads!).

What’s fascinating is seeing so many familiar faces from modern K-dramas, like Park Shin Hye, Kim In Kwon, and Sung Byung Sook. The drama also showcased Korea’s impressive technology, which was already advanced back in 2009, and it's clear that even before the global Hallyu wave, Korean dramas were making their mark.

All in all, You're Beautiful may have flown under the radar for some, but it's a drama that still holds its charm and is better than many overrated modern shows. It’s sweet, nostalgic, and surprisingly refreshing!

If you wanna experience the feeling like sitting in the sun on a cold afternoon, this one will make you feel that way ... Please give it a try and you will not regret ...

A light Love story wrapped around 'House possession'

A cute, sweet, and romantic drama with a generous dose of comedy. The story has its heartwarming moments, but there are also instances that feel a bit illogical and even irritating. One particular frustration is watching the male lead chase after his selfish crush, despite her repeatedly treating him as an option. It felt forced at times, but overall, the narrative comes together nicely by the end.

The show’s highlight is undoubtedly the outstanding chemistry between the leads, Mike Angelo and Aom Sushar. Their dynamic pairing carries the entire drama, and they genuinely look great together on screen, making their characters’ relationship feel natural and believable. Even though the ending wasn’t as sparkly or satisfying as I had anticipated, the drama still makes for a good one-time watch, especially for fans of lighthearted romantic comedies.

Gender swipe ➕ time travel to the past ? CREATIVITY PRO MAX

This drama was really really unique ... The last time I watched something similar was Rooftop prince which wasn't even half as good as this one, apparently that show was based on past to present time travel and had no gender swipe plot ...

Kudos to the writer who thought of putting a man soul in woman body that too while he travels to the past.
The show has brilliant amounts of fresh comedy .. minimum cliches and the female actor (who is acting like a man soul inside her body) did a fantastic job of delivering the comedy punches through her body language. You can't help but ROFL just by watching the way she walks. ( I am still smiling by remembering the scenes).
The segments where she( with a he inside) prepares modern dishes ... Modern skin care .... Were particularly very interesting.
Though The ML (prince) was overshadowed by FL but still his chemistry as great as per the character demand. You know it's not easy to set chemistry in plots where two straight men are involved..but somehow these two actors made things work.


Recommended to watch with a bucket of popcorn 🍿

Twin sister swipe plot

One sister ran away and the other sister was forced to get married and live her life ...okay fine ..but how come you expect the orginal bride to come back after months and take her place as a wife ... Insane as it sounds but the writer actually wrote this down. Boy !! This is not right even from a fictional perspective.
Anyway! So FL was a fighter ( general) , has good knowledge of medicine , she is witty and there is practically nothing she can't do. But I don't know why this happens as soon as FLs fall for ML they become stupid and so reliable on the ML.
The conspiracies in the story were very Flat they didn't add any excitement to the plot.
Lastly the core problem " omens of the twins" which apparently started as former king's twin brother wanted to kill him, resolved with the crown Princess given birth to twin babies and crown prince can't kill his own child.... THANKYOU FOR THE MERCY

Seriously I would have prefered a different ending.

As such nothing MIRACULOUS of the sorts

Now that I have seen enough eerie in the drama this one felt little subtle to me .. but who are green to this genre might find it very refreshing. The story had balanced amounts of blood shed romance action horror suspence but still couldn't convince me enough as a viewer. Reason why ?
1. Start was amazing but gradually story lost it's pace .. only two cases in the beginning were interesting ( brothel case and plastic prince case) later ones were not.
2. Story continuation was sort of abrupt , the dots of events were not connected properly making it a little confusing.
3. Main villain was lame ..I mean he was giving that villian vibe from the beginning but for all the buildup to his character as a villain final face off was too FLAT.
4. parallel couple was so unnecessary, I still can't understand their chemistry. I would rather have this male actor for the role of fourth most handsome men and portray the love rival for the main ML. (Casting him as a lame lover boy was such a waste)


It's not that the drama is totally un-watchable try watching few episodes and stick as long as you find it interesting.

I kept watching but the Queen didn't attack

First blow to the story comes from it's wrong synopsis..she is supposed to have superhuman strength... Like where ??? How ??? When ??? Why ??? Okay just because she helps the prince with some stretching does make her strength equivalent to a superhuman (EYES ROLL) .. she was killed like atleast 12 times in this series and yet we are calling her 'queen of attack' ... Instead of 'queen who is attacked' ..
She was a javelin player I was looking forward to some action ..but to my disappointed there was no action on her part ... (Teary eyes)

Overall story was good ... Consistent paced , good plot ...worth watching one time atleast

Leads were good .. chemistry was okay ..

Continuing after binge watching season 1

This time story was more concrete and grey. As leng li left zuan'ar in the end of previous season,this season started with their patch up (after a leap of two years).. the plot which centred the lead characters in the previous season, gradually shifted towards the other characters. Side stories, mysterious and conspiracies are addressed. I felt the plot was a little fast paced but it was the short drama format so you can't complain.

The best thing i found about this story was the writer literally wrote the plot UNFILTERED, the wrong doing of the vamps and villains are punished with something as severe as Rape and murder.

A little side note: I PERSONALLY DONT LIKE SOME WRITERS' TAKE ON THE PUNISHMENT OF A VAMP WHO PLOTS TO GET THE FEMALE LEAD RAPED, THEY EITHER BE FORGIVEN OR ARE NOT BEING HOLD ACCOUNTABLE ENOUGH ...WHICH SENDS A WRONG MSG TO THE SOCIETY THAT IF A WOMAN IS INVOLVED IN GETTING THE WOMAN RAPED SHE SHOULD BE TREATED SOFTLY JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A 'WOMAN' .... NOW THAT WE COME ACROSS SO MANY HEINOUS RAPE CASES IN OUR REAL SOCIETY, THE WRITERS' MUST TAKE A RESPONSIBLE APPROACH AND GIVE A STRONG MSG AGAINST SUCH CRIMES THROUGH THEIR STORIES NO MATTER IF THE CULPRIT WAS A MALE OR FEMALE.

Cast was same only 1-2 new characters were introduced.
Music was same ,nice ost

Totally worth watching

Wang yu zi and wen moyan factor did the job for me

I am so damn impressed by wang yu zi's performance in every period drama .. this man is born to be the ML of period dramas PERIOD !
he captures the essences of his character on a different level and blessed with his looks je actually gives that kind and generous emperor like vibes.
As far as wen moyan is concerned,she is a terrific actress I saw her performance in 'your trap' and her role was so sensuous and seductive. Whereas in this one she is portraying a cute and lovely girl ( with revenge feeling on the side ways) .. Though I personally felt her chemistry with weng yu zi was outstanding better than with any other actor.

The side characters (cast) was equally talented and good-looking especially the female characters ( Xu'ar, li' sister, chinqui,chen'mother)

The story itself was quite interesting and the way its plot is executive made it even more addicting. The pace was consistent and there were no boring and unnecessary scenes. Though this season doesn't unfolds a lot about the conspiracies and is more centred on leng ki and xuan'er's character.

There were comparatively less fight scenes and the choreography of these fight scenes was not impressive but it's okay, as that wasn't even the demand of this story.

Opening sound track was good, very soothing and quite apt for the theme.


Over all this was a great drama that I can recommend with holding back .. you can define give it a try (it also has season 2)

If not for the sad ending I would have given it a perfect 10

First of all the Dylan wang factor made me watch the show, I didn't follow any recommendations whatsoever. The other cast was also excellent but Dylan is my fav ... As far as story is concerned, I am not impressed but not disappointed either . Few stances felt like bit of a drag ..like she had to live four lifetimes before she can stay with him .. honestly speaking it was boring . Though It was a love story but the romance was lacking ... Their chemistry was indeed awesome still I couldn't find many happy couple moments between them ...it was sad and heart breaking ... secondly the repeation of fireflies,fallen patels, butterfly and fireworks scenes was too much ..I mean like come on! man! give us some variation she is living four different lives and you are showing everything pretty much the same.
Parallel leads story was much more in focus for first 20-25 episodes.
the character of female lead is quite weak and has given very less importance ,like it was all about her yin soul other than that her role in the show was not much influential. In fact the parallel female lead stole the show for me. She is bubbly and sassy I loved her. Still I must say both actresses were beautiful and very much loveable.

After that comes the fight scenes and VFX ..those were great .. Chinese dramas are best known for the VFX/fight scenes anyway.

Music was lovely ... It was soothing and very apt for the them of the show.

Parallel leads and side actors were equally talented .. each and everyone of them (from parallel lead's side kick to cat demon ) delivered the best.

Last comes the ending ... See! I don't mind sad ending but for this one I wanted a happy ending ...no !! Seriously !! Let me explain ... I don't feel sad when characters who happened to be living as lovers shared some moments get seperated... But in their case it was prolonged wait ... Suffering , regrets and feelings of missing each other ..for freaking 200 years he was waiting ... She also was subjected to four lifetimes just to be with him ....IF THESE TWO DON'T DESERVE A HAPPY ENDING, I DONT THINK ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD DOES.

It was sad blame it on the writer who screwed the ending just because he/she wanted to showcase his/her experimental mindset ..( GO TO HELL ! writer)

So everything was perfect ... But story itself written by an average writer who I don't know might be thinking of himself as Shakespeare.



Drama is totally worth a watch and rewatch as well

I will be brutally honest here..

i kind like the main leads character but the plot wasn't good enough to do them any justice ... series went well till ep 12 ML FL met ..they helped each other to achieve personal goals ..fall in love .. got married. story was heart warming and rom-com. but after this the plot turned into bitch slap crap .. kitchen politics and domestic drama phase ... like a total 180 degrees opposite to how it started .... i am pretty sure a lot of viewers must have given up on this series here ...

i sticked around though ... and from ep 25/26 onwards i find the story improved a little .. i mean it was watchable at this point .. then it went okay till ep 37 but as we reached closer to the ending ...writer messed up again ... i mean seriously messed up ... the ending for ML FL was satisfactory ...but for villains , NO ... you will feel a different level of frustration watching the villains who deserve severe punishments were not hold accountable enough even after committing crimes repeatedly.

this was not the type of series you would recommend others but if you happen to come across it and likely to watch it i suggest you read episodes guide side by side so that you can skip the unnecessary parts ..other wise you will be exhausted
