Review for Season 1 & 2

This drama is a fantasy, wuxia romance. It is cute, silly, light hearted, and entertaining. The leading couple has good chemistry and, once they realized that they liked each other, they remained steadfast in their pursuit of happiness. Although their intimate moments could’ve been better, there are many cute and nice romantic scenes. The drama has the usual travel back in time tropes that are well worked into the drama. The two male leads have a great frenemy relationship that it’s also well developed throughout the drama. This drama offers a light and nice entertainment. Enjoy it!

This is a nice romantic comedy with a dramatic twist and a steadfast love story. The leading male did really well delivering his emotional “deficient” character and still showing his heart through his expressions. The leading lady’s actions sometimes didn’t go hand in hand with her loving and warm personality, especially by ignoring Soo Ho’s calls even after they declared their love for each other. Also, too often, her facial expressions and body language were too subtle and lacked empathy demonstration when she was with Soo Ho. The storyline is really nice and Soo Ho’s conflicts were well shown by his demeanor but the leading couple’s chemistry was more the cold and warm relationship than the intensification type. There is also Yura’s character that was purely annoying till the end and a guy that had no reason for falling in love with her. The music was really nice and Park Yoon (as Lee Kang) was a saving grace in this drama. Overall, the drama is a nice series to watch while waiting for a great one to come. Enjoy it!

This period fantasy drama is a gem. Everything was done at a high quality and the cast did a great job bringing their characters to life. Both leading characters (Mark Chao as Mo Yuan / Ye Hua /Jin Lian/Zhao Ge and Yang Mi as Si Yin / Su Su / Bai Qian) were brilliant and flawless in their acting; their chemistry was strong no matter which character they were playing at a given time. Mo Yuan and Bai Quian love story is beautiful, painful at times, but always breathtaking. Seen these two actors playing such different multiple roles and doing it in a way that, although every character was different, the essence of their soul and their strong love bond was believable, is perfect and mesmerizing. The OST is beautiful and emotive, and the drama has beautiful costumes, great CGI’s, and well choreograph action scenes. Great drama, enjoy it!

This is a very nice and well written crime corporate drama with a great cast. All the actors did a good job bringing their characters to life; the leading couple has very good chemistry although they fell short on their romantic scenes (although it is not a romance drama, it could’ve been better). The story is strong and there are some interesting twist thrown throughout the drama. Accolades to the older and more experience cast that carried on the drama making it suspenseful, interesting, irritating, and very emotionally driven. There is an excellent heartfelt scene from Park Sang Myun (Heo Jang Su-Yoon Do's father) on episode 12. Also, Lee Kyu Han was excellent on his portrayal of the multifaceted and enigmatic character Mo Wan Soo. The drama is entertaining, enjoy it! ***Watch the last episode all the way to its ending!!!

Please Remember Me (2024) could’ve been a great miniseries since it has a very good storyline, choreography, and cinematography; the cast did a very good job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple had a lovely chemistry but the ending messed everything up! Chang Yuan (played by Zhang Fei Fei) and princess Cai Yi (played by Wang Ya Ni) had a better ending than the leading couple. I guess that the writer thought he had written a masterpiece since some people seem to find the twist at the end to be aesthetic and pleasing but, as creative as it is, it ended up been a disappointing ending to a steadfast and endearing love story.

Crying and Sad (2024) is a “romance” drama that can be found on YouTube under the heading: “To escape her parents, the girl seduced a ruthless CEO, who ended up pampering her.” This is a nice lighthearted drama but the heading’s description is misleading. There’s no seduction done from the female lead Yu Sheng (played by Lin Zi Rong). Yu Sheng was drugged and ended up in an intimate encounter with the male lead Wen Zhu Qing (played by Zhao Guan Yu). This event is not seen in the drama and the miniseries starts on the day she finds out she’s pregnant. The leading couple is great and fun together planning on getting back at the antagonists but there’s no sparkling romantic chemistry between them. This is just a cute “romantic” drama with an unintended pregnancy, marriage of convenience, and a nice supportive male lead.

Zheng Ge Yu Le Quan Dou Zai Deng Wo Men Li Hun (2024)/ The Entire Entertainment Industry Is Waiting for Our Divorce (2024) is a web series with Shen Hao Nan (Fu Gong Ming) and Dai Feng Yi (Shen Shu Li | Li LI) as the leading couple. The series can be found on YouTube under the captions: “After a Face Swap, She Discovers Her Husband Is Her Ex Who Once Abandoned Her”. The short format for this drama that has the face swapping fantasy element does not allow enough time to the actors to get into the different characterizations of the swapping, but the cast did a decent job bringing their characters to life. The romance lacks passion on the romantic scenes and there’s not much chemistry between the leading couple.

Ji Zong Nin De Ma Jia Ruo Diao Le (2023), with the leading couple Sun Yue as Ji Ming Xiu and Xu Yi Zhen as Xia Yan, is supposed to be a romantic drama but it is more a romantic comedy with some really funny moments and an insipid romance. The leading couple has a nice playful chemistry but there are no sparks in the relationship. The leading male has liked her for a long time and, although they have an intimate night together already, once they get married, she keeps him at bay for most of the drama even when he is constantly helping her and showing his love in many ways. The story is one that has been played many times but in this one, to make matters worse, the female lead has an incurable disease, forces him to divorce, and leaves him so he will not suffer but he spends five years suffering from loving and missing her. Her friends, thinking that he has moved on, are accusative and dare to say that she has always wanted to come back to him and, on the long run, it turns out that it is up to him to get her back. Overall, the drama is not really romantic, the pace, even though the drama is short, seems like an eternity to get to a “happy” ending with a boring and bland ending.

Invisible Love is a nice romantic web series with a comedic flair. The leading couple, Li Zheng He / Li Xuan Bin (played by Sun Yue) and Lin Zhi Yi (played by Zhang Chu Xuan) has a very funny and sensual chemistry that keeps the drama interesting to watch. There are some mysteries regarding Lin Zhi Yi’s family affairs and her mother’s demise that come to light by the end of the drama and there is also Li Zheng He’s incomprehensible attitude toward Lin Zhi Yi but, at the end of it all, love prevails. Even though the drama is quite entertaining, the intimate scenes, although full of sensuality, were failed attempts by accidental “comical” events. Most of the supporting cast and the leading couple did a great job bringing their characters to life. Enjoy it!

Wo Bang Ding Le Ai Qing Xi Tong (2023)
(YouTube title: He bought her just to torture her, but he fell in love with her day by day)
FL: Yang Mie Mie as Lu Miam Miam
This more or less 38 minutes super mini drama is lightly based on the magnificent Korean drama Secret (2013) with Ji Sung as Jo Min-hyuk and Hwang Jung-eum as Kang Yoo-jung. The revenge of Xiao Anyu and falling in love with his prey was very well written and performed by the leading couple but the romantic scenes were block by body positioning taking away from the strength of Xiao Anyu’s conflicting feelings toward Lu Miam Miam. With these main actors, it’s a shame that this adaptation was not done into a longer duration drama because the actors performed quite well on this fast mini rendition.

Lost in the Midnight (2024) is a revenge drama with a dose of romance for the leading couple that, even though they had many nice intimate and sensual moments, their true heartfelt feelings for each other are not revealed until the very end. Some of the supporting cast members did a good job in acting but others lacked acting skills and looked more like fake lunatics. The drama is more about the main couple Lou Xiao (played by Chen Si) and Si Yue / Jian Huan (played by Yu Yin), their fated encounter and intimate involvement, their connection to a sadistic and powerful family that is out to destroy them, and their desire for revenge upon a mutual enemy. The lead couple is smart and capable but the male lead, Lou Xiao, is too aggressive and violent toward Jian Huan (Si Yue) even when he was trying to protect her. Si Yue was so focus on revenge that she would do anything like lying, seducing, conspiring, and even risking her life for the sake of revenge which drove Lou Xiao mad out of mistrust, pain, and frustration dealing with Jian Huan (Si Yue) and her deceitful demeanor in addition t his most earnest desire to hold onto her. The drama moved terribly fast and the leading couple’s feelings are not in tune to each other until the end. Still, even though the drama is not perfect, it is entertaining.

The Killing Romance (2023) is a great miniseries set in historical times with a fantasy element and a cast that did very well bringing their characters to life. The drama, even though it has a main antagonist pulling the strings from within the palace walls, center on the lead couple. Ma Hao Dong as Wu Ji / Fa Wu Wei and Zizi Xu as Tang Xiao Lu / Li Zi Yi are a force to be reckoned with; from their strong martial arts to their beautiful and steadfast loving relationship, always having each other’s back. The drama has good and well choreographed action scenes, beautiful costumes, and a nice OST. Overall, the drama is very entertainment, enjoy it! PS: The half rating point taken away from a total of 10 points is because the romantic scenes could have been done better! Still, the romance storyline is great!
