The life of Miss ShiYi : Marriage, love, obstacles, hardships and pursuing dreams

FINALLY A GOOD DRAMA. Even if its 45 episodes long , all of it was really enjoyable. I have to give credit to the male and female leads! Wallace Chung and Seven Tan ( love them both), great storyline. This was on drama that didnt drag or have unnecessary plot holes.

The main family is the Xu Family. The male lead is the marquis, holds power in the court, smart and is able to fight. Female lead is Luo Shi Yi Niang. She does not have much status because her mom was of a lower status. Shi Yi, has an arranged marriage to the Xu marquis( male lead). In the Xu family the wife is the eldest daughter of the Luo family. She is gravely ill and plans for one of her sisters to help the Lup family status after she dies.

The Xu family looks down on Shi Yi because of her status but that doesnt stop Shi Yi. Shi Yi is very talented in emboidery and wants to help out more women to have a job. She is faced with the conniving concubines that is jealous of her. But of course Shy Yi overcomes all of that with her wits and beauty and slowly the male lead sees how she is different.

The story is developed very nicely, where the storyline keeps running and progressing. The schemes of the evil concubine does not win ! Even though there is drama /revenge/back stabbing its dont right. The main focus is not on those which I like. Its like the female lead always prevail!!!

The music is also really good! LoveZhou Shen

The leads chemistry is so good and strong! they make such a cute couple. Also the female lead's maid and the servant of the male lead is very cute couple too !

Had the potential to do better... but failed!!!

This summary might be more of a rant lol. This drama has so much potential ! after watching the preview on youtube I couldnt wait! This drama was a major let down for me, more than Love Script....

Female lead is in need of money to heal pay for her brother's medical bills , so she tries to become a maid in the Gu household. Female lead is cute and quirky, male lead is the Gu's son. He has a stone cold face and is good in making and designing jewelry. The leads start off on a wrong foot, like in many dramas.
In the Gu family , the father and mother has passed away, leaving behind the mistress ( which she never got a title to be the madam of the house). There is also mistress's son , Gu's 2nd son ( but he is not blood related) , and a third daughter which is the eldest son's blood related sister, but she got lost a long time ago and the grandma. Thus the grandma becomes upset and gets sick from missing the grand daughter. The grandma thinks that the female lead is her lost granddaughter... So our female lead is stuck in accepting the role. The female lead stays in the Gu household to find her long lost play mate from when she was young. She recognized him through a jade he has, and that person is Gu's second son, which she didnt know. So she develops a friendship with both the brothers. She slowly starts to fall in love with the male lead (the older brother) , he does too but doesnt show his love.
At this time the mistress aka 2nd son gu's mom comes back. She is obviously a evil character and is strict and mean. She is shocked that the third daughter is back because she was the one that sent someone to go after the third daughter. She questions the identity of the female lead.She tries to get rid of the female lead. The leads try to figure out what happened to male lead's mom and what the cause of her death was. Eventually they get the mistress to confess her evil deeds.
At around the same time the mistress is introduced, we get introduced to the second female lead. She grew up with the gu's oldest son and has a contracted marriage. She really likes him and doesnt want to give him up.Even though she knows that the leads are in love with each other. Some stuff happens and the male lead is forced to marry the second female lead. Second female lead does things to break them apart.....

RANT!!
1) Didnt feel the lead's connection, chemistry or passion
2) They had too little scenes together! not enough time to make their relationship feel real... The whole drama has a lot going on
3)unnecessary side character , which made the plot more annoying and nuisance . the mistress and the second female lead , even that doctor ( he had no use whatso ever)
4) this drama was slightly on the comedic side, but i didnt find it worked, in general I am not a fan of comedy/ ancient mixed together
5) overall storyline had to much going on and then it skips and jumped around. it doesnt offer any explanation of what happened , it just jumped to the next scene....
6) love triangle didn't help to develop the story.
7) too much focus on family issues

Honestly I must rather just watch the preview for this drama! it was done so nicely and made this drama seem like it was going to be a good one, but this one just flopped. The end part of it jumped like three years and I'm like what is going on.... The first half of this drama it was already like a 7 for me, just kinda bland and nothing really partially stand out..... it dropped a little more after what happen in he latter half... sighs..

I dont recommend, unless you have nothing to watch....

Who is the mastermind culprit behind it all ?

I'm not usually a big fan of police genre dramas. This one was alright in my books. This drama was told from a different perspective. I liked how it told the story in the recount of the female lead and then the male lead., but after while that got kinda repetitive. It started pretty interesting but as the story went on it was kind of like a torture for me ( torture in terms of who is actually the really culprit, it just seem that they keep going in circles and couldnt find the evidence lol)

Yan JIn is the male lead played by Kenny Lin ( whom i like !!!) He was a narcotic cops who turned undercover. But due to a certain operation and his good friend and undercover cop getting killed , he gets released from being a narcotic officer. Six years later he is once again going undercover to try to take down the people who sells drug. Yan Jin gets evidence that a new drug distributor is no other than a young and promising violinist. This violinist is currently working at a coffee shop the female lead owns. So he decides to court her, but his intention is finding more about the violinist. The violinist eventually gets murdered and Yan JIn is to blame. At the same time the case from 6 years ago resurface. Everything points to Yan Jin as killing his undercover cop friend from 6 years ago and the violinist.

The first 10- 15 episodes was about his currently undercover mission, but the primary focus is on the case 6 years ago and trying to see if yan jin is indeed the killer. To me first part of the drama where he tries to catch the drug dealers went a little too smooth... I guess the story's emphasizes is not on there. However they took such a long time for them to even figure out who the actually suspect was...

I was really touched by the female lead and her pure devotion she had for the male lead. When the whole world was saying Yan Jin was a killer, she stood by his side and never believed them. Although she did do something pretty stupid at the end, which nearly caused her life...

I wish they could have done more romance. They were a cute couple but didn't have a whole lotta time together.

A Story of a a car corporation and how they reach their goal to produce an electric car

This drama is definitely different and more for a mature audience, in the sense that its about the exclusiveness of a car auto industry, with it the high and lows and the things they are faced with. If you are looking for romance , this is the wrong drama for you. This drama is like fine wine, lol not everyone appreciates it.

The story background is a little complicated. It is set in the auto motive industry with the company Tian Guan.
The female lead grew up with her dad learning a lot of cars, thus forming a passion for it later. Her occupation is an undercover investigator, for a corporation that wants to purchase other company at a low price. She is sent to get close to the Tian Guan company. The male lead is the 2nd heir of the Tian Guan company, but he does more research and engineering to produce an electric car ( they are called Yue Guo Shan Qiu). The female lead works from the bottom up , from working as a sales in the 4s team, to slowly giving out ideas about how to make the company better. Like test driving the car for seven days before actually buying it. She has her motives to being in Tian Guan. She tries to figure out what happen with her dad's company, which caused him to commit suicide. Tian Guan is faced with a lot of diffculties, when the eldest brother decides to leave his ceo position. Eventually our female lead takes the role of ceo , but take the fact that she still has the other identity. She struggles with what she should do , should she sell Tian Guan?

The main driver and spotlight goes to the female lead Ou Yan Xia Lan played by Zhang li ! Her character is so brave, witty, bold, wise, The male lead Peng yue was kinda weak because throughout the drama his focus was on trying to develop a electric car . He waws kinda passive and he wasnt an assertive overbearing ceo lol . Theres hardly any romance but i feel like its an actually adult romance, like i dont have to day i love you, or kiss but I still support you and love you from afar. By the things that i am doing I am going to save your grandfather's company Tian GUan. It was a different type of romantic.

btw can they make more dramas with the second male as lead, i had second male lead syndrome. He was so nice and never got anything ( then he turn slightly evil...) sighs....!!!

This drama is usually not my cup of tea but was pleasantly surprise. Dont think this drama is for everyone , but some one will appreciate it :)

Older flight attendant and younger male flight attendance romance

This drama was a decent watch, not overly draggy, short enough episodes of 24. Each chapter is around 30 minutes.

Storyline; 7.5/10
- male lead is younger 22 years old, trying to get his credential. to fly. Due to a trauma experience he has a fear of heights. Female lead is older than male lead . She is 32 year old, calm and collected flight attendant with a lot of experience. They meet to to her being his teacher. He overcomes his fear of heights pretty quickly! i thought maybe it would go for a little longer. After the plot wasn't really boring but not the most exciting. It became more about them flying and the male lead trying to court the female lead. Female lead runs into her ex.... The male lead runs into some problems and then grows. Eventually female lead and male lead gets together. There is also some side characters. Second female lead is a vlogger who does eating videos, she gets entangled with one of her fans who turns out is a rich second generation. ( in reality the male lead is one year older than the female , lol just in this drama she looks older.)

Romance: 8/10
For me the female lead initially was really reserved about her relationship. I felt the male was more in love with her. Their kissing scenes are some what passionate, with a believeable chemistry/passionate. I liked that is wasn't just the male initiating but the female would too. There isn't a whole of of kissing but its fine.

Overall :
It's a pretty decent drama. The male and female lead are both rookie actors/actresses I believe. To be its average, its not super boring but a ok watch for those who don't have something to watch >_<

DUDE I CANT BELIEVE I ACTUALLY WATCHED IT ALL!! mostly skipped a lot of it. if you really have a lot of time then go ahead ... but otherwise I wont recommend this drama
1) 60 freaking episodes is way too much, they try to write/ pack so much in the drama . The plot is sooo stupid and dumb ( im sorry)
2) the beginning when they were a kid started off really strong and then it just spiral down so much
3) was the role of Duan Mu Rong ( Kenny Kwan) even necessary ? Can i even consider him a a second male?
( not to mention the part of how they raised a girl and she tried to dress up like a man...... )
4( too many darn characters and kingdoms that i couldt keep up with. Im like there's a king here , there , and there.
5) The whole drama revolves around the twins ( male lead has is a twin) has a hidden twin. The twin likes the female lead's sister. So the sister the whole time thinks the person she slept with is the male lead but is not , actually the twin. and because of some reason he can only stay under because he needs to protect their family treasure.
6) they portray the female lead as smart and witty but towards the middle she wasnt really helpful .She didnt shine as much and felt that her sister ( who turned evil) out shone her.
7) Ughh so many annoying characters, like some of the other reviews said. Evil Sister, Evil "brother", the list goes on lol

MORE RANT THAN REVIEW Female lead is talented in her career but wants to start over again.

I was quite intrigued by the summary of this drama. This drama started off very decent and then it went downhill for me! The only redeeming factor is the female lead. I really liked how she was written.

Female lead once had a prestigious life, studying over seas, graduating from a well known university, worked at the top 2 IT companies, had a boyfriend, and best friend, but everything came crashing down when her boyfriend married the boss's daughter and her bestie died of a sickness. She is stricken with grief and goes back to home to start over again. There she accidentally runs into the 3rd male lead who rented the female lead grandma's house. She lands a job as a front desk in their company. She just wants to be simple and not let anyone know of her past. I really liked the female lead because she is humble, and enduring. Despite her ex boyfriend's wife trying to humiliate that doesnt let her down! But to me she forgave the male lead way to quickly....

There are Three "male" leads but not actually when you start to watch it you can definitely tell who the main main lead is. Two out of the three are brothers and the last one is the friend.

Male lead- the boss to a tech company, he is blunt, straight forward , cold and a block head when it comes to relationships. He was also the childhood friend of the female lead. In the first few episodes her already recognized her. As for the female lead, she remembers him little later because he changed his name. I honestly didnt like his character for how inflexible he was and didn't try hard enough to express his feelings for the female lead. He is one of the reasons why i dropped this drama. He is so petty and explosive with his emotions, like when they get into heated arguments, he becomes an ass.

2nd male lead- Also the boss of a tech company, the rival of the male lead. 2nd lead is cunning, deceptive, and is charming. He was the senior of the female lead while at university. I also dont like him because he is too much for me. Does so many things to try to make the female lead try to fall in love or show that he likes her. He is so manipulative and uses many ways to get her attention which I dont. Like he knew that the female lead ex married someone else and she got dumped. He would invite her to the party, which he knew the ex was going to.

3rd male- He is the housemate of the female lead. They are strictly friends. He has a chill personality who likes to game. and takes pictures. He is a programer or IT in the male lead's company, 2nd and 3rd are brothers but they are on bad terms!( out of the three I like him the most!

To me the female lead and the male lead's past didnt really add much points. It did in the beginning, thinking it was cute, but I was so turn off by the male lead's actions and personality. Like seriously, off all the dramas I have ever watched I think he is my most hated male lead to date!!! lol Also male lead isnt very handsome in my opinion.

Also I didn't like the fact they that introduced the ex of the male lead. She was annoying as hell! Bitch ass , who downgraded the female lead. If i were the female lead i would slap the annoying ex girlfriend. I mean her ex boyfriend wife's humiliation isnt enough , they need to add the male lead's ex gf... horrible!

I did enjoy the music tho.

gender bender boring ass drama

This drama is horrible! I can;t believe someone would rate this a 10.

1) lack of story development. There really wasnt miuch story development besides the fact that she is a female that goes into an all made school. There are some slightly interesting parts like when they had the archery competition.
2) If you want to know what the drama is about literally read the summary , its the whole movie
3) How can it take 31 episodes to freaking realize she is a girl ? come on male lead. Even the side characters knew like 4-5 ep before him..
4) Song Wei long is handsome , but his character, like other reviewer said is super bland. He's like the goody two shoes , he doesnt particularly stand out ( because there are two other males)
5) However I like their friendship that they form. Its just like f4. They are doing things together.
6)Female lead is super cute. But i'm like how do they not think she's a girl.She's so pretty and feminine.... lol the guys at the school must be blind >_<
6) the overall setting isnt interesting , there isnt a complicated background of the male or female lead. it just kinda bland. There is storyline but its behind the second and third male lead, about them trying to figure out what happen. to their families.


honesty really wanted to like this, but I couldn't stand it. I wouldnt not recommend. skip please !

A hot mess... of identity fraud

This drama is awful and weird.
Starts off with the male lead getting hurt and the female lead saves him. They kiss and the male lead leaves her a jade pendant. Female lead's best friend aka second female lead, somehow obtains the jade pendant and she gets mistaken as the female lead. The second female lead then finds someone to help her change her face to look exactly like the female lead. The female lead finds herself in all kinds of trouble. She has a dad who is addicted to gambling. She tried to make more money , but that was a scam job., she got trafficked. The male lead saved her, but she was blindfolded at the time so she didnt know who saved her.
We have our second male lead aka younger brother of male lead.He is just always angry and bitter and wanting to kill his older brother. The second male lead tricks the female lead into thinking it was him who saved her, so in order to " pay him back" the female lead works at a fabric dying store.

WHATS ANNOYING!.... the second female lead got all of the spot light, like sure she had the same face at female lead but the way they portrayed it made her seem like she was the lead. The male lead was with the wrong freaking girl the whole time, how do you not know... sighs..

Not to mention the younger brother literally was raging the whole show, " Imma kill you" to his brother. every scene was him just being bitter and full of hatred lol ..

i wouldnt reccomend...

female lead is unlike other girls but nothing special

To me this drama is a flop ! this drama is soooo boring.... the plot is boring... like literally the first 20ish episode is about the failed arranged marriage of the princess aka female lead. She is a princess through her grandmother being the aunt of the king....

Her personality is loud , proud, bold and daring. The male lead is a official of the king, he seeks revenge to find out what happen to his parents death. Turns out its about a hu fu ( which is this panther looking thing that holds military power) I believe the king's aunt husband was the general who held the hu fu. The female lead also gets dreams thats gets her glimpse of seeing into the future. ( but to me those scenes arent done well, its so random and choppy)

Who said its good, i skipped so many conversations lol.... the relationship between the female and male lead is not very believable. The chemistry is not there. Neo Hou has more chemistry with Yang Chao Yue on the love script variety show, then with Guan Xiao tong. They are quite a boring couple. I mean I like the male lead but I am contemplating dropping this drama.

I will be your light!

This drama is seriously so good! It deserves a ten! Can we start off with the ending song, which was sung by Angela Hui. This song is so touching and beautifully sang and fit in really well with the touching parts of this drama.

I initially was going to skip this drama, not the biggest fan of William Chan, but decided to give it a chance anyways! This drama is such a gem.

All of the characters are like-able and the firefighting scenes are done superbly, making you feel all the emotions, nervous , anticipation, excitement.

Female lead is a reporter/dog trainer - I loved the female lead. She is a bad ass, dont give a shit about the consequences , I'm going to report the truth no matter what kind of girl. I loved her persistent attitude to pursue the male lead. Their encounters are cute

Male lead is a lead firefighter. I love that he is so passionate about his job, so serious, yet facing the female lead he becomes nervous and cute. He really is a good leader and great firefighter!

The firemen on the team is loveable too. I can feel the closeness of the brothers.

The second male and female lead had a good storyline and also glad that the third couple was together.

Those firefighting scenes were crazy! It really takes you inside and shows what they are facing while fighting fires. All of the firefighting scenes were top notched, you could feel the intensity.

I also like the storyline, not just romance not just firefighter, but also about support and dealing with people passing and their mental health. The female lead overcame obstacles in her path and also the male lead too! as well as others in the drama.

However there was some parts that i could predict... like towards the end that incident ( wont spoil what happen)

Their chemistry was definitely there but their kisses still was a little lacking. A lot of it was a peck on the lips nothing to intense.

The romance / relationship between adoptive brother and sister

One review talked about the negative side of this drama, like bullying , incest .

The female and male lead are quote on quote brother and sister but have no blood relationship. They grew up together, qing mei zhu ma. So many dramas have the male and female lead growing up together. The devil beside you with rainie yang and mike he, they were also brother and sister through their parents new marriage... anyways on to the review

Storyline- Female lead Zhuo Yi feng was young, she and her parents got into a car accident, leaving her parents dead and her being the only survivor, thus causing her having PTSD , and also sleeping walking. The male lead Su Mu Yun's family adopts her and changes her name to Su Nian Feng, to help her get past her horrific past. Su nian feng (FL) grews up with her brother and goes to the same school as him.
Male lead- is popularity in school because , he's in the basketball team. He is icy, cold male.
Female lead- is a lovable , kind and good at cooking, also she is easily bullied
Together they go through the last year of high school and then they go to college together. She meets one of her friends in high school, he has a sickness which causes female lead to study medicine in school.

Romance- some parts were cute. They have more kissing scenes towards the end. I don't really feel the chemistry as much.

Plot holes- There are way too many plot holes..
1) Sleep walking.... The sleeping walking part was just kinda weird, like her brother was always there to protect her and guide her back. But the times when she didn't live with the brother , she didnt have any sleep walking episodes?
2) Why would she listen the evil beep's mp3 randomly, and that would have the evidence of her parents death ?
3) She changed her profession so easily ? from being a doctor to a baker?

Evil characters
I can't stand lu cha biao !!! The evil girl is so annoying . She won't stop. Typically I dont like dramas with evil girl , trying to harm or bully the female lead. If its too much then i would rate it lower. The evil girl just had a obsession over the male lead and wanted to do everything to interfere between the male and female lead's relationship. I woulda slapped that evil girl, doing too much !

The male lead I feel like is a little to posessive over the "sister". Sometimes he can be very immature about his feelings and actions towards the female lead. Like when the female lead gets a present from another guy, the male lead would just throw whatever he prepared away for the female lead. The female lead doesnt throw it away, she would keep that item. I'm not a fan of the actor for the male lead, his eyes kinda always looks tired and droopy.

Overall , this drama was ok to watch., not bad.

Had higher expectations for this drama. Really wanted to like it but i felt it was just kind of average for me. To start off there has been many dramas revolving around the fashion industry. This was kind of typical.... like the rookie designer vs famous designer. Female lead is an unlucky girl who loves the fashion industry, she strives to be a fashion designer but always runs into problems. Male lead is a cold, sharp tongue and experienced designer. They accidentally kissed when resulted in the switching of luck.

I love Jerry Yan, even tho he's like in his 40s. He is still hella hot. I love his acting in this drama. His facial expressions/ micro facial expressions are so cute. Female Lead - shen yue also does a good job, she is very cute and lovable. I find the paring extremely cute.

There isnt a whole lot of romancy scenes. So far been one peck on the lips and couple on the forehead. I might be old school but i was waiting for this whole time to confirm their relationship...its like 20 something ep in and still no confirmation or like further romantic plot development. I mean even male's lead best friend beat him to it.

The story to me was kinda slow and honestly nothing to exciting. Like they just show the female lead working and sometimes designing but its mot interesting enough. And why is it that when the male lead and female lead are in the same profession, she usually works in a another company , and not the male lead? in the story, the male lead has a tragic accident when he was young, which caused him having a cold personality. The development of that could of been smoother.

The music in this drama was especially good :)

Messy story of a girl who transports back into time to save people from war?

First of all I really like the leads but this drama was a no bueno for me! too many plotholes and question marks.... this drama incorporates time traveling and some what deity/ powers?

Story summary : Too Confusing, left me with a lot of question marks...

Female lead is from the future and she time travels back to 8 years ago to try to stop the war and destruction. She goes back and tries to kill Lu Ming Yuan , who 's the evil character and an official of the king. The interesting part is that the female lead cannot died. She had a body that doesnt get hurt, when she goes into water her scars and wounds heal. The first scene she is seen getting out of water and she doesnt remember who she is. Coincidentally the male lead is taking a bath there but its actually something that he has set up. This is because there are people who want to kill him. This is the first encounter between the leads. She warns him about his brother not related by blood will die soon by Lu Ming Yuan. Of course he doesnt believe her and "kills" her ( after that she finds out about how she can heal herself) Through a series of encounters she works under the male lead who is like a official of some sort. The male lead's background is also complicated and he seems like he is a bad guy but that's his disguise. He's trying to take down all the back people. But due to his " bad boy nature" the female lead has a hard time trusting in him, not knowing if he is good or bad ( in the sense he is on Lu Ming Yuan's side or not) I forgot to add that the female lead has a flute, that flute only she and the male lead can hear. The flute also helped her to time travel. When someone dies/she cries it takes her back. She goes back like three times, but each time the flute will have this blood mark, and she will also become weaker each time.

So usually when its a take two, it brings a refresher for the storyline but in this case it failed! not long after she transported back to 8 years ago a second time the male lead suddenly loses his memory and it is really not explained well, i mean it would make more sense if some poisoned him ? He only forgets the memories of the female lead and him. Then after that the storyline progress weirdly, and becomes a train-wreck...

I would have given it a 5.5 but bumped it up to a six for the romance. To be honest tho I wasnt feeling the chemistry between the leads. I mean there was a little something but not enough... ( just in my opinion) I think I liked the second pairing's relationship more, it was more chemistry and passion there. Dont get me wrong I love the two leads but something was just lacking.

I didnt like the fact that the male lead always used the female lead.I mean if you love her you should tell her what your plans are and not for her to be the last one to know. She always ends up misinterpreting him on what he does, thinking he is evil.

I 'm disappointed by this drama., hopefully sun yi's other drama is better.

DISAPPOINTING DRAMA!!

This drama had so much potential but it fell so short.
Backstory- the male lead Hu yi Tian is a famous actor back in the day. He is filming a movie when he gets shot by a real gun. This transports him to the modern times. In the modern times there is also the same male lead but with a different name. Older day male lead's soul goes into the modern day. He gets adjusted to the new world and at the same time try to figure out what happens.

Romance: no chemistry at all, really stiff. I dont find the connection. Maybe because Hu Yi tian has such a stiff face? The leads interaction has no fluff at.

Story line development is horrible, they are never offically together! and at ep 22 they still are barely uncovering the mastermind/evil characters background/identity. The development is wayy toooo slow.

Sighs... had the potential to do so much more.....The female lead's character is honestly kinda boring. She is a scriptwriter, who is kinda of a nobody.She is kinda childish and naive. She doesnt have any wow factor
