Healthy relationship between the leads, good chems, no breakup n unnecessary angst...

What I like:
- The leads chems was good... they look comfortable with each other n they look natural... the skinship r lots n there r even some steamy ones...
- The leads have a healthy relationship, they trust each other, it’s an adult n mature relationship... so eventhough there r some other parties trying to mess it up, it never works, their luv is strong...
- There is no breakup or unnecessary angst... yes it took some time for the leads to be officially together, till halfway I think, coz FL’s ex keeps wanting to reconcile... but ML fell for FL early, n the pursuing part was already an interesting thing to watch...

What I’m not satisfied with:
- The sidecouples... one is FL’s bro n her BFF... their story just took too much screentime for something so uninteresting... it’s an older woman kinda story, which I don’t like, plus the bro is just so childish... the other one is ML’s assistant n ML’s pursuer... it’s boring n she is just too annoying... so honestly their stories I skipped most of the times...
- I wish the leads didn’t have the relationship a secret till the end... there could’ve been more potential cute office romance scenes...
- The business part is not that interesting... I’d prefer to have the leads n even with their colleagus, work together side by side facing problems/a crisis... they mostly have separated work scenes, esp after they r in a relationship... when actually ML is the investor of FL’s company n they r even working at the same building... I wish it was mixed up a bit more, in a light fun way...
- The ending... it’s a HE so don’t worry... it’s just that they were building it up to have FL’s ex last final effort to mess with ML, so I had expected something more... but in the end it fell a bit flat to me... there r some major consequences, but for me the way they tell it is just mehhh...

Anyway, I enjoy watching it while ongoing... IMO just watch mostly for the leads, n u’ll enjoy it more... it’s almost angst free, just both exes popped up here n there, but they r irrelevant since the leads’ luv is strong... so it’s a suitable drama for u who just got out of a max angst kinda drama...

Started solid 10, superb chems with obviously visual couple, but the last 5eps wrap up was bad!

What I luv:
- The leads… their visuals, their chems, their acting, their characters really suit them perfectly… not a fan of noona drama, but since YM doesn’t age like normal people do, they look good together… n Xukai is just so dreamy, even with his goodboy haircut…
- The plot… i always like the opposite attract kind, n this is a fresh way where the woman is the ambitious workaholic one n the man is the stay home caring one… the way they hate each other first, then tolerate, admire, like, support, get in a contract married n fall in luv afterwards… it’s a development in a relationship that i like to watch…
- The background story… FL is a lawyer, so the stories r mostly about her cases n how she tries to climb on top in this supposedly man’s world… i always like watching this genre, how they investigate things, how tricky n bad people get to achieve what they want, etc… it’s interesting…
- The casts… i like ML’s BFF & ML’s dad, they r so funny n loyal to ML… i have mixed feelings about FL’s BFF, they had moments in earlier eps n then her existence is almost none unless she had probs with her hubby which is FL’s bro… I even thought that LiDai was gonna be the villain, but turns out she turns out to be an interesting character which is on good terms till the end with both leads… the associate lawyers small talks where they gossip about what happens at the office is always an interesting scene…
- The writings r mature, not cheesy…
- The way they r not connected in anyway in the past… this annoys me lots of times when suddenly they were childhood friends or something like that…

What i hate:
- Everything starting eps36… suddenly they get divorce? Unnecessary drama IMO… N not that many screen time together for the leads untill the reconciliation in the last 5mins of the final eps40… n the reunion was just flat, they met again coz he moved in as her next door neighbour after 7months apart, somehow they just got back together n no explanation… why did they get divorce in the first place anyway? This wrap up just *sigh…
- They didn’t give ML a proper comeback story related to his career… people looked down to him since the beginning coz he’s jobless n always stays home (he still earns money from trading)… so IMO he should get a scene where he rises back on top n everybody found out about it, at least her family&her ex! instead we only get him to tell FL about his accomplishment… i know he doesn’t care about what other people think, but still i wanna see a glimpse of his success in the end…
- TJH, the FL’s ex, with his fiancée r both equally annoying… he’s a grown up, who couldn’t stand up for FL when they were together… n now he wanna play a hero for FL while his fiancee turned out as the big bad wolf to FL becoz of her jealousy… their presence annoy me most of the times…

I just freshly finished this n i wanna share a bit of my disappointment… it started with a solid 10, but with that last 5eps I could only give it 8.5… overall i’d still recommend it though, especially if u like the genre or at least one of the leads, coz they look so amazingly cute together… n as much as i hate the last 5mins reconciliation kinda drama, at least it’s still a HE? N keep in mind, it’s a solid 10 till the last 5eps… I just wish they give us a good wrap up! I’m hoping for a bit miracle where they have an extra eps of their cute deleted scenes, or even better, the actual epilogue of their happy ending life after their so called reconciliation scene in eps40… ??

A cold general meets a bratty annoying girl... fluffy with lots of skinship romance...

What I like:
1. The typical fluffy arranged marriage romance with LOTS of skinship n kisses between the male leads... n the main leads stay true to each other from the start till finish...

2. There isn’t really second male/female lead draggy plot... somehow the passing people become couples with others n don’t have any real interest in the male leads, just some misunderstandings but got solved quickly each time... at least there r 5 couples got together at the end of the drama...

3. The romance is cute enough that I finish this drama... the ML is just so romantic to FL...

What I don’t really like:
1. The FL character is a lil bit too annoying... I get that she is supposed to be young n at first her behavior is kinda acceptable, but somehow after being married for a while, she is just the same childish girl who gets into trouble repeatedly without even realizing it... she always blames her husband when things don’t go her way or if he doesn’t agree with her, n he always apologizes in the end, superb ML character I guess.. I almost dropped this after her repeated antics, but somehow managed to finish this just for the sake of the romance n curiousity of how it’ll end...

2. It got boring plot wise at some point, but still watchable...

Overall the drama is light, so it’s recommended if u just got out of an angsty drama n need a bit of happy times... n it’s a happy ending, the satisfying one where everybody is happy, including some of the small villains...

Visual leads with cute chems… no breakup! almost no angst!

What i like:
- The visuals of the leads is just something… come one, have u seen them? N the chems is cute… i’m not a big fan of a noona romance, but Angela Baby looks so young n beautiful, so i have no probs in that dept…
- No breakup once they get together… the relationship between the leads is just so healthy… yes he’s younger by 7years in the drama, but he doesn’t act like it, he is very mature n such an adult, especially in the relationship with her… ML is honestly how a perfect BF should be like…
- I like almost all characters, everybody has plus n minus n redeem themselves eventually, even the father… except FL’s ex, he’s just something else… he didn’t take the villain route though, so there’s that…
- No real villains, not even the ex… no real SFL either, lots of girls like ML, but noone annoying or playing tricks, their luv is strong…
- Almost zero angst!
- The side couples r cute too… FL’s BFF with ML’s boss (he has a kid, so that plot is funny) n FL’s lil bro with FL’s colleague/ML’s friend… all HE…

Why i was a bit conflicted:
- The relationship was a bit complicated… ML&FL r not related by blood, n even though they r stepsiblings, they were never raised together… he went abroad for a long time then they met again when they r adults… he fell for her first, then after a while they got together… i personally don’t think it’s wrong, but somehow i wish they weren’t step siblings, it’s still weird in a way…
- Again i’m not a fan of a noona romance… but since i like both leads, n they look so cute together, so yeah, i enjoyed watching them…
- There were a bit boring parts in the drama, but it was ok portion… i wish they could show more of them being together in front of other people n not being cute only when there’s noone around…
- The working plot wasn’t that strong either…

Overall i really like it! I’d def recommend this for people who like a light romcom n don’t mind a bit complicated background for the leads… n it’s a HE…

Guilty pleasure kinda drama..u’ll luv the leads,the visuals&chems,but the plot isn’t the best..

U know why I said this is a guilty pleasure kinda drama? Coz somehow u gotta admit u luv it despite the trainwreck plot...

What I like:
- I luv the chemistry between the leads, they r just so cute! It’s JJY’s drama, so we only got 2kisses with unmoved lips... but it doesn’t really matter, their lowkey skinships r just so adorable... not cringy, so natural... stolen small kisses, backhugs, n their always hand holdings really made up for lots!
- JZ is just looking his prime here! His style n hair is the best from his other historical dramas... JJY always looks pretty, n eventhough her accessories r sometimes too much, i think it suits her, so no complaints from me...
- JZ & JJY got their best characters in this drama compared to their other dramas (at least before their characters were suddenly ruined by the writer to create the big angst)... LQ is goodlooking, smart, has supreme martial arts, brave, loyal, loving, n all the good things u r looking for in ur dream guy... JBN is pretty, smart, witty, humble, independent, decisive, n all the good things that’s an upgrade from her old characters, esp from LOY & TBARP...
- The leads’ small adventures... they r both smart, so when they plot things, it’s a guaranteed success... i wish they did this scheming everybody kinda thing instead of the long angst near the end...
- The casts... DD&QA’s luv story is cute, n DD’s relationship with her sis in law JBN is cute too... JX&DS’s luv story is ok, wish they could have double date with their BFFs, LQ&JBN, that would’ve been potentially good scenes... JBN’s grandma, Qingke the maid, Susu the BFF was ok, but LQ’s dad&stepmom got mixed reviews from me... they r ok people but indecisive at different times, so at the same time u can only like 1 of them n hate the other...
- The overall visuals... the casts, their wardrobes, their sets & some of the fighting scenes r good n done properly...
- Luv the OST! Esp the one the leads sing together...

What I dislike:
- The unnecessary angst that u can always find in JJY’s dramas, like LOY&TBARP... The pattern was alike, interesting story with lots of potentials in the beginning, amazing chemistry with her ML, cute fluffy OTP moments, some filler eps, n the full unnecessary angsts&misunderstandings in around the last 10eps, then happy ending in the last eps! I’m still grateful with the HE, but can they just not kill their good characters just to create the final neverending angst??? Those eps r just unreasonable & unbearable to watch...
- The villains r all over the place, n in this one they r just crazy obsessive... again, since this is is JJY’s studio’s drama, where they always wanna promote another actress under their company as the SFL, the screentime that SFL gets is just too much! N this time the SFL is a villain, so it’s just so annoying to have her from the beginning till the end where after everything she’s done she kinda redeemed herself... she doesn’t deserve it n honestly I skipped scenes where her face popped! She isn’t a good enough villain n her character just annoyed me too much... N the SML, OMG, talk about delusional n obsession, his character is just so flawed that eventhough he’s the villain, he’s just not a convincing one...

Anyway, I still enjoy the drama... yes the plot was mmehhh, but just focus on the leads n like me, u’ll like it... actually I’v rewatched the leads’ scenes... IMO they r one of the best drama couples in 2021, I hope they’ll get paired again in future dramas, modern one if possible... FYI if u wanna skip the unnecessary trainwreck of angsts, it’s from eps33-39, so I suggest to FFWD those eps n u’ll be fine... it’s a happy ending for all good characters, so yeah there’s that... Happy watching!

Best Chinese Modern Drama! Best CP! No 2nd leads, no breakup, full of fluffy real moments...

Finally finished watching this drama... Best modern Chinese Drama IMO... Everything is just perfect till the end... It really followed the novel!

What I luv:
- The chemistry between the leads r off the chart & how breathtaking they look everytime... The skinships r just so detailed, the small small things count, I luv how they portray how real couple acts when they r in luv, like how they just can’t get their hands off each other, those eye contacts, etc... I can definitely rewatch this over and over...
- It’s a perfect adaptation of the novel... especially the epilogue parts! We got so many eps after they r being together... it’s kinda a slow burn romance, but turbo speed when they r finally together, worth the wait!
- No 2nd leads! Yes there were 1ex for each of them, but they appeared briefly just for a closure, n no annoying moment coz the mainleads were never in luv with them anyway...
- No breakup! I luv how healthy relationship this couple have... the angst came a bit only before they get together, but afterwards it’s happy relationship till the end... it’s a light fluffy romance...
- No cliche moments (like accidental fall n kiss stuff)... what happens to them feels like a normal people relationship...
- The cinematography, the directing, the music, the editing, the wardrobe are all amazing!
- Good casts... There r people in there that u’have definitely seen in lots of dramas that play small parts here... Like Janice Wu, I always luv her n eventhough she only appeared a bit, but it was memorable...

I luv almost everything about this drama, but if I have to choose something that I only like n not luv:
- The gaming session in the early part of the drama when they talk only talk about the game... maybe coz I’m not a gamer, so... but it was ok when they r gaming together while doing daily stuff n that final game was cool... so overall it’s a not a problem from me...
- The aerospace aspect is kinda too technical sometimes, I couldn’t relate... however ML’ profession as an aerospace engineer is something I’ve never seen before, so it was refreshing to watch...

Anyway, this drama overall is superb! Storywise is so real, something I think any normal people can relate... the work struggling, the relationship dilemma, financial aspect, pursuing the dream, etc... I highly recommend this drama for their top notch romance and if u like the achieving the dream kinda drama... plus look at both of them, visually they r just perfect! I’m hoping for another future project of them together... So get ready to rewatch this drama... I know I am for I don’t know how many times already...

A journey of 8people becoming friends w/3couples’s story...no backstabbing/annoying characters...

This historical drama is a story about a bunch of young people who find each other n work together in a small architecture group... they r different kinda people with different kind of backgrounds but somehow make a solid team from the start till the end... through out the drama they take projects n solve the probs to build some things while facing their own personal problems n also a major state affair in the end...

What I like:
- The friendship... eventhough they started as strangers, they grew on each other n stay together till the end as a team n became real friends...
- The characters of those 8 people in the team r just so different that it’s mostly interesting to watch... none of them is evil, so no backstabbing kinda plot...
- The leads r ok, the chems is good, n eventhough sometimes u can tell they r not that comfortable with each other doing skinship, i still enjoy their scenes... plus visually they look good... the other 2 couples r ok too, sometimes cute, sometimes a bit boring, but overal it’s ok... n the actors did good playing friends, they have believable chems...
- I haven’t seen a historical drama having architecture as the main focus, so it’s mostly interesting to watch...
- No really annoying character... only 1 villain, The Northern Prince that The Princess is supposed to marry... but he doesn’t get that much screentime n his character just shows up here n there, so he doesn’t bother me that much...

What I’m not so fond of:
- Plotwise is ok, but I find there r some boring parts here n there thru the drama... I think it’s supposed to be a light drama, but not enough cute moments, IMO the scripts r just mmeehhh for quite a few times n sometimes the directing is just not on point...
- For a light drama, I find the romance between the leads not enough... I mean they used the plot where ML demanded FL to explain her background for a few eps with kinda repetitive scenes... n while that’s happening, the leads were in a long Cold War... n happens again in a few eps near the end where FL has come back to the Palace being a Princess n the leads being heartbroken about the arrange marriage thing, n while that happens, they mostly just being work colleagues... so for me, not enough happy moments together between the leads for supposedly a light romcom...
- It’s a lowbudget drama I think, so some not so satisfying stuff in the drama... like the final battle in the end is not even a good CGI n some not properly done scenes... also The Palace doesn’t really look like one, no luxury... n some other things, but it’s a pass for a lowbudget one I guess...

Overall I quite enjoyed it, not that much but enough to finish this... there were some boring moments, but still acceptable... there isn’t really a villain that u could hate so much... the luv triangle parts r not that annoying coz it’s obvious the leads only like each other, n no real tricks... so if u like the kinda drama that tells stories about a group of friends working together side by side n having 3couples between them for some light romance, then u might like this... just don’t expect too much, coz it’s a bit slow pace n almost no action scenes... let’s just say it’s not that good, but not that bad...

Youth drama with positive vibe all thru the end... n the leads r just too cute! Highly recommended!

IMO this school drama is a type like “my huckleberry friends”, FL also played the mainlead there... it’s a youth drama where it tells more about the friendship between mainleads n their schoolmates, how they become good friends n help each other getting thru senior year... so if u like that series, u’ll def luv this one...

There r some cute moments here n there between the leads, n it’s obvious they like each other from halfway thru, however since it’s a highschool story, there’s no real romance n skinship (just a lil but only in the last eps&in the special eps)... it’s more like a first luv/highschool crush story where they were enemies first, then they fell in luv with each other but in a cute pure puppy luv kinda way... n they finally got their happy ending (literally in the last eps).. they r looking cute, n they r almost always together from early on like unofficial couple... i’ll def watch it again after they r all subbed...

What I luv:
- It’s a positive vibe kinda story, where everybody eventually got along till the end n there is no unnecessary drama... There is no real villain... SML had a crush, but backed off when he realized he didn’t stand a chance against the ML n even befriended ML... no evil SFL...
- Eventhough there is almost no skinship, but the chemistry between the leads r really good n they got me hooked from early on... they r def goodlooking n just so cute together, I can’t get enough of them!
- Plotwise, I like the pace, there is no boring moments...
- No misunderstanding... if there’s a problem, they solve it directly n not dragging it...
- There isn’t any breakup or separation between the leads near the end which I almost always hate in a drama...
- Good BGM all thru the series... it highlights the moments...

What I wish:
- I wish they shows more story of them in the present time... I’d luv to see more scenes of them together as a couple...

Overall I really luv this series... N I even watched half of them raw! So IMO this is one of the best youth dramas I’ve ever watched, best one of this year for sure... n don’t miss the 2special eps, they r just too cute to miss out!

Back n forth relationship between the leads… only watch if u like the casts!

I have mixed feelings about this drama, so here it goes…

What I like:
- The leads… i like both of them as actors n i’ve seen some of their works… they look cute together n their chems is good too…
- FL’s job as artist’s agent in the entertainment industry & ML’s position as a CEO of a fashion company r the interesting part of the drama… they work in the same field, so there r some work related stuff between them that I like… it’s how they support each other as friends n also lovers…

What I don’t like:
- The back and forth of the relationship between the leads r just too much for me… it’s like they like each other kinda early, but ML backs off so many times that it annoys me… n finally when he’s totally committed to FL, his past came back n triggered lots of probs…
- Not enough happy moments for the leads… it’s like they kinda got together in an eps n kinda broke up in the next eps… so for me they never catch a breath n watching it kinda exhausting in a way…
- SML’s plot is just so sad (boy falls for noona kind)… he fell for FL early n only let go almost at the end, which left him alone… such a stubborn unreasonable character…

Overall, this is just an ok drama for me… i like both leads, thats why i started n finished this drama… like i said, the back n forth thing annoyed me a lot, especially for 43eps drama i watched on going, so honestly I skipped some of boring n cheesy parts… IMO just watch this if u really like the leads, the plot is kinda all over the place… but it’s a HE…

Unexpectedly addictive… Best chemistry 2022! Hooked from the 1st eps…

What I luv:
- The leads’ chemistry, like wow! From the bickering, n even for the funny scenes, their acting together is on point… their comedy parts together were the best for me… especially ML, his comedic’s expression & body language is just spotted on… n his stare… after this, i’m a fan, esp of his voice!
- The leads’s visuals… It always helps that they look good, but ML looks superb in his costume, FL looks best when she had her hair down&long, so pretty…
- The plot is really entertaining, i got hooked from the start n was waiting eagerly for the new eps every week , watching it ontime… that’s how intriguing this drama for me…
- I like the pace, almost no boring moments…
- The screenwriting is good, nothing cheesy…
- The romance part is good! It was slowburn, but the way they started from hating each other to getting know each other n finally totally understand&luv each other was done properly…
- The character development is good too… i hated ML at first, being so judgemental n seemed so heartless, especially to FL… but under that mask, in time he became likable n actually he is just mainly misunderstood… luv his character! FL stays true to her character i guess? As an independent courageous woman… however at some point for me this character is a bit too much… somehow being independent means u have to be selfish n leave someone u luv n luv u back just like that, bye2… with no hesitation n no sign of sadness… that part in the drama i found weird…
- The production is done properly… all aspects r good for me, especially for a supposedly low budget drama like this…
- I always this kinda genre, investigating stuff with some Palace’s chaos…

What’s unsatisfying:
- The last eps! It’s a typical C-drama, where last minute, after everything that went down, halfway thru the last eps, they had to give the last angst that led to separation instead of giving us the happy closures n some sweet moments…
- yes it’s a HE, but reuniting in the last scene with the leads looking at each other in a distance without a hug/kiss is just a bit disappointing… i know a wedding would be too much to ask, but this ending is just… ?
- Not a big fan of luv square… i know ML&FL only luv each other, however almost the first half becoz of a misunderstanding, FL was with SML (her ticket to escape her fate) n ML almost marry SFL (he thought SFL was the girl he rescued, but actually it was FL)… but yeah after the misunderstanding is clear, no more unnecessary drama between them…
- YuanLang the villain got away with everything n no punishment in anyway… somehow he ended up not being that evil anymore n climbed on top becoming a Minister…

Anyway, i still really luv it overall… so far my fave drama this year… so i highly recommend it… it’s almost angst free, at least till that last eps… but it’s a HE, so yeah… i hope the leads will get casted together again in a modern drama, will def watch that!

I almost dropped it but I stayed for Godfrey Gao...

What I liked:
- Main leads, especially Godfrey Gao, his character is just a perfect all around man n he was just such a handsome manly man... his chems with FL is also good, they r believable as an intelligent loving scholar couple...
- I like how here they show various kinda problems in each household... these r different kinda people with different kinda backgrounds which centered around the 3 women who r supposedly best friends... it’s just interesting to watch some of the small stories...
- It’s nice to watch a story where the ML & FL r just normal hardworking kinda people n the ML isn’t a super handsome rich CEO, it’s realistic...

What I didn’t like:
- Too many eps! There r 40eps n that’s just too long, IMO 30eps is a max for this kinda story, even less would’ve been better, it got draggy n boring... honestly I skipped a lot around 25-ish till around 37th eps when finally FL moved to ML’s hometown...
- FL’s mom is annoying to the max! I have no idea how a mother could behave like that? She is such a snob n looking down on ML when she isn’t actually someone who is rich or even from a highly respectable family... she is from a working class background, but she hates her daughter’s BF just becoz she wants her to be with her friend who is super rich... the way she condescends ML is just too much, especially for someone in her status... n in the end, there is no redeeming act from her...

Overall it was an ok watch, just watch it if u got nothing else to watch... the mainleads scenes n interactions r cute, so they made this watchable... n I stucked around for Godfrey Gao, but unfortunately I think this was one of his last projects if it wasn’t the last one... n IMO he suited his character in here, so he did a good job... RIP Godfrey Gao...

Mainleads with strong characters&good chems... Beautiful cinematography... I like it!

What I like/kinda like:
1. Interesting characters... FL is smart n super skilled in martial arts, she is a war general after all... I like strong n tough FL... ML is an anti hero, he is misunderstood by most people coz he always shows his fierce n arrogant side while helping people in needs in secret... this kind of looks evil kinda guy but actually not is a rare character IMO... I like how his goods keep unfolding throughout the drama...

2. Luving the casts for ML & FL... they suit their roles... n their chems is good!

3. I like the cinematography n the CG, though not that much but it’s beautiful... The actions r ok, there were some moments, u could tell it’s not the cheap kinda drama... I like their costumes, some look really lux...

4. Plotwise is ok... some draggy (mostly political) parts, but not too much...

5. Music is ok, but not exactly rememberable...

Not my fave parts:
1. Character wise... FL is just too judgy n doesn’t trust ML, she always thinks the worst of him.. I get it at first, coz ML lies like a lot... but after a while n after everything he’s done for her, she should know him already n be able to see that ML is just misunderstood... he is the kinda person who doesn’t care if people see him bad, as long as he can protect the people he wants in secret... she should trust him more or why even bother being with him?

2. Also character related... 1 thing I hate about ML is he doesn’t explain to FL about his actions... he lets her minds run wild everytime n doesn’t bother to explain... why couldn’t he just tell FL that they share a common enemy instead of making her misunderstood that they r on the different sides?

3. The amnesia part... I get that they need to create a drama n this is a typical plot... it’s just a sad n angsty part... I’m just not a fan of amnesia plot...

4. Second couple gets a cute story, but their on screen romance time is a bit too much IMO...

5. I wish the last scene is a bit clearer n happier... Smile/hug/kiss is preferred after their complicated journey...

Overall I like the drama... it’s about a kickass FL time traveling to prevent a war happening while falling in luv with an anti hero (not so likeable n arrogant guy who looks like a bad person but actually is not)... their relationship is full of misunderstandings thanks to their characters, but u’ll like them eventually... the main leads chems is good, so even with the repeated “I luv u but I don’t trust u” plots & some angsty amnesia parts in the middle, I still like how their story unfolds n glad to know that after everything they’ve been through, they get their happy ending...

Only watch if u r a fan of both leads! Boring & angsty most of the time…

I finally managed to finish this one accompanied by my friend the FFWD button… ? I’m a fan of both of them n watched most of their recent works, but this one was disappointing, especially when it was an awaited drama for me…

What is ok:
- The leads pairing is just a visual feast & their chems is good enough despite how unnecessary angsty their journey till the end of the eps…
- The part at first where FL kept chasing ML while being ignored most of the times was the only enjoyable part for me + the happy ending (eventhough it happens in the last eps!)
- The side casts that’s beside the leads r good loyal people as they should be…
- The bonus scenes from the after they r married story is cute… at least we get to see them together (though no real kiss at all till the end) ?

What I dislike:
- I know the main plot is revenge, but somehow for me it’s kinda hard to feel totally sorry for FL after everything that she’s done to ML… yes it’s a tragedy what happened to her fam becoz of his fam, but despite all, ML was the one who helped her from the start, he never stopped protecting her… she keeps blaming him & hurt him like he did the evil deeds! So overall her character is just not a sympathetic one…
- The overall story is just mmeehh… the revenge was done around eps26 I think? After that is just total unnecessary angst till the end… FL was only given a chance to redeem herself from eps36 (last 3-4eps) & that only happened when ML was thought dead… and after all he’s done for her? It’s just not enough…
- FL got more screen time with SML i think? Thankfully SML isn’t a bad person, but still their too many scenes together is just not something I like to watch… and these scenes I also FFWD like crazy… ?
- The CGI was bad IMO, looks so fake… and I thought this was a big budget drama, I guess not…
- The last eps reconciliation kinda drama… though actually, they never even get together officially till that last eps… for a 39eps drama that’s just not satisfying…

Overall at least it’s a HE… but I want to rant so much after I kinda forced myself finished this one with the help of FFWD button… for a revenge drama it’s just not that good, but especially if u compare it to The Long Ballad… now that’s for me a good revenge drama for me… anyway, IMO watch only if u r a fan of the leads… ??‍♀️

Jeremy Xu looking so fine! Light romcom w/amnesia plot that’s refreshing…

I started this drama for Jeremy Xu coz i luv luv him in TAB… this drama however isn’t as good as TAB, but it has its moments that overall i still enjoyed it…

What i like:
- Jeremy Xu… he is a good actor n he suited this character… i like his comedic style, he is very funny as long as he doesn’t overdo it… n visually he is just so goodlooking, he looks so dashing in his modern clothes…
- The FL is a perfect princess, she looks gorgeous n i like her outfits in this (though it’s kinda questionable how a newbie actress can afford all of those?) acting wise she is ok, her character isn’t that complicated, so IMO she suits as MingWei/Princess n i liked her in this…
- The chemistry is ok, i enjoyed their moments… n ofcourse visually they look so good together… there r some funny cute romantic scenes n even some skinships+hot kisses…
- I’m not a big fan of amnesia plot, but they do it ok in this drama… maybe coz ML is totally dedicated to FL… i hate in a drama where the ML has amnesia n can be manipulated by other people, but not here, at least not the most part… there are maybe 2super angsty eps somewhere in the last third part of the drama where ML finally got his memories back n totally forgot FL, but it didn’t take that long b4 he fell for her again, in reality this time…
- Not that angsty luv triangle… SML is a good guy, he likes FL a lot but no dirty tricks, so when she rejects her coz she only sees him as a friend, he just accepts that, no drama… SFL is a bit annoying, she is ML’s childhood friend, so she tries hard when he has amnesia n tries to make people think that there’s something between them when he only sees her a sister, but it never works anyway…
- I really like the relationship between FL & her sis and ML & his agent/best friend… we all need that kind of loyal people in our lives that’s always there, stand up for us n support us in every way… n those 2 people r also the sidecouple, so an extra romance side story with a HE…

What i don’t really like:
- Jeremy Xu was dubbed! Like why? His real voice is so good!
- I wish they didn’t use the amnesia plot too long… honestly i prefer to see them together in reality instead of when he still thinks her as a princess… i know everyone wants to be treated as princess in a way so maybe that’s why they wanna treat us with this part, but hearing him call her “Princess” in reality for so many times somehow annoys me…
- The last 2eps of the historical drama, the drama they shoot inside this drama, were a bit of a waste for me… coz there’s almost nothing new in it, just that they compile the scenes they shoot n make it those 2eps… at least they give us an extra scene of their HE in that, but i think they could give us a bit of their real life after the wedding, like how they as famous celebs being together in front of people n what r people’s reactions to it… n also how FL got ML’s parents to approve her, we only saw how much his parents not exactly liking her in their interactions… just some montages in the end would’ve been nice…
- SFL is supposed to be a fashion designer, but she looks so bad… her style n her hair like what?

Overal i enjoyed it… if they had given us more time of them in the scenes together b4 the amnesia, it would’ve been much much better… the amnesia part was just too long n it kinda weird to think that in a way FL fell in luv with a character instead of the real ML (eventhough in the end it’s kinda explained that actually the character is just the real side of ML that nobody actually knows, so she actually luv both sides of ML)… anyway, if u r looking for a light romantic drama with some cute romantic scenes between really goodlooking leads, then u can try this out… i like it…

6loyal friends, 3couples’ luv stories n their work lives... luv the visuals&the friendship...

What I like:
- The friendship... From the start it’s about 5 friends from college that got separated for a few years then reunited, n that’s how this story started.. some misunderstandings at first, but it wasn’t dragged n cleared early... n I like how they mainly focus on the 3 pairs from them (including 1 new friend), instead of having a complicated romance between them... n this friendship stays solid n strong till the end...
- The mainleads, their visuals n their chems... I like Shawn Dou, he looks good n manly, plus he always delivers in every character he plays, including in this one... Guli Nazha is ok for me n she is just so pretty... I know her outfit sometimes is a bit too much as an office worker, but she looks good in them, so who cares... Visually they both look good together in this drama...
- The other 2 pairs r also good... 1couple is kinda childish but funny, n the other is more mature but also cute... the actors play the their roles good... n all 6 of them has good chems as friends, so believable as good longterm friends...
- The cinematography, the wardrobes, the overall visuals looks r good n done properly...
- The business background story, which is a travel company for this drama where the mainleads work, is mostly interesting... some probs with the jealous colleagues which involves sabotage n tricks... plus some probs with their outside partners that create probs to be solved... this part I really like coz we get to see the leads working side by side facing the work related probs...

What I don’t like:
- That Gusa plot is just a bit too much sometimes... basically she became the investor of the company to mess up everything so ML could lose everything n has to go back to Japan with her? It’s maybe believable if ML is weak, poor n depends a lot on her, but he is an independent successful smart guy who has achieved a lot in the business world... plus, the reason why he came back is to get back with FL... I guess all drama needs that delusional villain kind that’s a troublemaker...
- Why Ding An must die? He is such a good character...
- Yuan Lai’s character annoys me sometimes... she is just so judgy, everytime there’s a problem, she just assumes the worst, esp towards JinRan... even the work related one can make her breakup with JinRan, n this happens repeatedly... JinRan on the other hand is a perfect guy type who succeeds in lots n this somehow makes him a magnet for crazy chicks! But the annoying part of him is that he can’t really be that bad guy who cuts all ties with them (1 is his Japan friend/investor, n 1 is his childhood friend)... n these 2gals r the roots of almost all of the probs...

Overall I really enjoy this drama n actually I’ve rewatched it, not the whole drama, just some cute fun parts... I just think compared to some of the modern office dramas lately, IMO this is much much better... I know its’not perfect plotwise or characterwise, but I still think it’s worth to watch if u like office drama with some good friendship & luv stories...
