One of the Best Thai Lakorns

Having watched quite many Thai lakorns, I got to say this is one the best Thai drama's I have watched. The acting of the cast- main leads & support cast were all amazing, story is interesting , good editing (I have noticed some Thai drama's the editing is sloppy) & it was well executed. The male lead's character was really non toxic, kind, loyal & dreamy.- he's really hot - I don't know why I haven't noticed him earlier - after this drama's I have become a fan of the male & female lead. It was a happy ending for the main leads, but the death of brother was quite sad. There is great chemistry between the leads & the height difference between them was cute.

Interesting watch

This is an interesting light-hearted series - the interactions & dynamics between the leads & their friends are fun. From the second/third episode onwards the leads start a working relationship leading to a romantic one, towards the end of the drama (so actual romantic scenes were a bit less). The leads had a healthy relationship without melodrama, throughout. The second leads too had a cute story. I like the fact that there was no love triangle, sometimes its exasperating these love triangles, thankfully this one didn't have one. The story has a 20 yr murder mystery angle to it, with a bit of a twist. It's a great watch.

MUST WATCH

I loved the story & acting....this is really a drama worth watching. It had romance, comedy, drama, thriller. mystery etc I like the fact that ML & FL had a mature sort of love story, even though in many scenes its portrayed that the ML is very shy in matters on intimacy - its the FL who takes the initiative...once they got back together inspite of the many difficulties they stayed with each other - the ending is really great & cute too, although would love to have see a wedding.

I felt although the acting of the leads and supporting actors was excellent, during the first few intimate scenes I felt they lacked ML/FL chemistry, but I think as the story progressed it kinda grew. The ML is so innocent, cute in clueless kind of way about ART/Gallery/ Exhibition (Cocky is an apt word) & initially for him everything revolves around money, however as the series progresses we see positive character development. We see FL as an educated and strong young lady . I loved the short hair, I haven't seen many K-drama's with the FL having short hair (unless she's impersonating as boy), so it was a wonderful touch - somehow trying to shift how the definition of beauty is perceived in K Drama's. There were so many sweet and cute moments between the leads.

I would highly recommend it.

Fabulous-worth the watch

I came across this drama by accident, this is my first ever C Drama ---- I had previously watched the Korean version. Frankly, I preferred the C- Drama version much much more. The story twists brought in this C- drama was much better than the K version. Dao Ming Si (Dylan W) & Shan Cai (Shen Yue)- the lead pair is absolutely adorable, just epic, one of my all time favourite couple...the looks Dao Ming Si gives her, his character comes as a very confident, passionate, fiery yet so innocent (like a man-child), both of them gave an excellent performances.

This drama had everything romance, love, angst, trust, friendship separation, sacrifice - all elements were there in exact right amount... F4 (Dylan Wang, Darren Chen, Ceaser Wu & Leon Leong) was so cool, all them gave wonderful & memorable performances- wouldn't mind having them at my Uni.

I specially liked Hua Zai Lei's (Darren Chen) character - calm, caring, composed yet intense. Its hard to actually determine whether he genuinely liked Shen Cai and gave her up for Dao Ming Si, at some points I felt like that - he certainly is Shen Cai's guardian angel, always there for her. His story too remained unfinished.

Ceaser Wu's character Xi Men was so suave and sophisticated - wouldn't have minded a bit more screen time on his love story. Leon Leong's character Mei Zuo was ever so charming and delightful too bad the one he fell in love left him and he was all alone (during the meteor shower) at the new year...

This is a great watch, would highly recommend.

One of the best - a classic

Where do I start - I am a fan of Yang Yang and Dilraba's acting - so its no brainer that when I heard about this series I was naturally excited...it did not let me down.. The story was written by Gu Man (same author who wrote Love O2O) - this was a mature healthy love story, although it took Yu Tu (Yang Yang) around 20 episodes to accept his feelings.

YuTu (YangYang) and JingJing (Dilraba) meet after 10 years ( at the initiation of JingJing) - ever since High School JJ had a crush/love towards the genius star student YuTu, who she felt was destined to do great things...during High School she was turned down by YuTu as he was not interested to have a girlfriend who doesn't have similar intelligence as him (harsh I know - he turns her down quite politely); again also in ep 15/16, Yu Tu was unsure of his feelings and felt the gap between them was too wide (she was rich/he was poor etc etc)

Fast forward 10 years JJ's a mega successful actress & Yu Tu an aerospace engineer currently struggling to determine whether to follow his passion (aerospace engineer) or go for high paying finance job. When YuTu didn't have faith in himself, JingJing always had unwavering faith in him...during the last episode at the rocket launch - Jing Jing reminisces the high school conversation she overheard from YuTu about sending probe/satellite - the look of happiness and immense pride in Jing Jing's face as Yu Tu realized his dream shows that indeed " Yu Tu was her glory", Yu Tu was quite proud of JingJing's acheivements too . One cannot help but feel inspired by JingJing's blind confidence and trust in YuTu, - this trust makes Jing Jing more determined/inspired to work hard to succeed in her field.

Its a beautiful love story - once they get together there are no breakup's, no MIL issues/or other melodrama - a mature love story with loads of chemistry (in fact oozing out) between the leads. It also gives an idea of the tough (& dedicated) life of people who work in the aerospace field.

There were so many sweet and touching moments after the 20th/21st episode...you cannot help but fall in love with both Yu Tu/ Jing Jing's character...they are so right for each other but it took the highly intelligent YuTu more than 10 years to figure it out whilst Jing Jing (High EQ/intelligent) always knew how compatible they are.

Yu Tu- Jing Jing is one of my most favourite C- Drama fictional couples - simply because of the deep love, respect they have for each other & how they inspire each other to excel in their respective field.

Yang Yang and Dilraba did a magnificent job in portraying the characters....I read the book after I watched the series - but I had wished I read the book first it would give a better insight.

If you love sweet, romantic mature drama's watch this - highly recommend.

Wonderful Drama

This drama was a great watch- loved the story & acting.

Pros
- Both leads educated, intelligent & career oriented
- Female lead is a Surgeon
- Story - it’s about how a Police Special Force Leader & Doctor fell in love & navigate their lives (I love these military romance type drama’s)- you can truly appreciate the hectic lives & sacrifices these frontlines make.
- No love triangle among the Main Leads ( they both like each other, starts dating some where around the middle of the series…
- It’s very real story-, misunderstandings are resolved without dragging & swiftly. The type of relationship one would expect normal dating couples to have!!
- the Second lead’s love story is very very cute (but there is a one sided love triangle- however the second female lead only has eyes for second male lead)
- no unnecessary break ups
- happy ending

Cons
Nothing much actually to say on cons, but would have been more wonderful
- If a wedding scene was shown in detail among the lead couple (no worries there was a wonderful proposal)


All in all it’s a great watch, story, acting was good..would recommend ! Happy watching.

Interesting Drama

This drama was quite a nice watch - unlike most C drama's this one had 16 episodes. I wished they had extended one more as the last episode was teeny bit rushed I felt.

The story and acting is good- its not a fluffy rom com, there is action, romance plus kisses etc....The ML is so hot - such a chiseled body...the SML was very cute too.. no love triangles...I liked that the ML's perspective is also shown at the start of most episodes....its was a beautiful beautiful love between the main leads... no long breakup's, the pace was maintained thought out the drama.

Its an interesting drama to watch, I feel very much under-rated.

Sweet Romantic Drama

I loved this drama - its a sweet rom-com , smooth sailing without the usual fights, break ups and misunderstandings. Shows three phases of lives of Main Leads (High School/Uni/Going abroad to study together & return back)..its such a feel good drama.

The main lead as Nan Xi (Fiction Guo) did an absolutely brilliant job, he totally axed the character & so did Xia Rui (Wan Peng - she's used to these kind of characters I guess), but truly the star was Fiction Guo. I watched couple of his drama's earlier, but he looked absolutely gorgeous in this drama (maybe its his character Nan Xi innocent, brilliant genius characters always does something to my heart.

In the drama, the lead characters had a fantastic relationship, very protective of each other. It was so interesting to see the growth of Nan Xi from the shy timid boy to a confident young man - all thanks to Xia Rui...just adorable! There are lot of sweet, romantic moments between the main couple & funny missed/failed kisses - the first kiss was in episode 26... Story would have been complete if there was a wedding scene & couple of scenes five years down the line were included...as it is its a nice & happy ending.

Highly recommend to anyone who loves soft, sweet & melodrama free shows.

Delightfully Sweet Romance Drama

Exclusive Fairytale is a sweet and delight romance drama- I wouldn’t say it’s a rom-com per se. It’s a genuine portrayal of friendship, love and relationships. The main leads deliver outstanding performances, love both the characters- bringing their chemistry to life on the screen.

Thankfully the drama didn’t have any unnecessary villains or melodramatic twists. Instead, it focuses on the pure essence of a sweet romance. It’s shows the journey from young-mature love..once they got together there were steamy kisses the last few episodes … it’s lovely to see the couple staying committed without any needless misunderstandings or breakups.

Excellent on-screen chemistry between the main leads &
if you're in the mood for a feel-good romance that will leave you with a smile, and into soft, sweet and cuddly romances this is for you.

Moral of the Story: You can't force someone to love you

If you are rom-com fan you ill like it. One of the best things about the story was the romance between the lead couple started the process of falling in love from the first few episodes onwards & was quite firm about it, esp. the male lead inspite of initial opposition from his aunt, he continued his relationship with the female lead- no unnecessary breakups, hardships were faced together as a couple. Its great how the main lead stood up the female lead during her challenging times and vice versa. Although throughout the drama there are couple of women who are mean and intolerable - one of them continues to be so until the very end. There was positive character development on part of the female lead, who wanted to establish herself before saying yes to marriage- I liked it. The OST was catchy too. It was good to see a happy family (& loving parents) being portrayed.

Acting: I think actors main cast & support cast did a great job.

I wish they had introduced a good girl to the second lead (main leads loyal best friend). Romance portion between main leads could have been more...there were few kisses here and there. Some support characters could have been developed further.

Interesting Story

I didn't watch the Turkish drama - thought of watching this after reading MDL reviews that it was a happy ending- I was NOT disappointed. Although romance is a minor sub plot, the story is interesting & captivates the audience in each episode.

It's interesting how the Main Lead (ML) discovers the Female Lead (FL) secrets gradually. From the 1st episode onwards a connection between the leads were established. The revelations, truth and plot twists will keep your interest episode after episode. I think all actors did an excellent job... I have watched some of ML's lakorns earlier - but I think he looked absolutely 'gorgeous' in this series & there was good chemistry between the leads. I thought the ending was a bit rushed & would have loved to see more 'happy' scenes between leads at the last episode.

It's a great drama to watch. Happy watching.

Great Watch

I started to watch this for Lee Dong Wook (LDW) and Kim Bum (KB), after reading couple of reviews...I was NOT disappointed. The main cast and support cast did a brilliant job - special mention LDW & Kim Bum's acting ..the last episode was really an emotional rollercoaster with such a twist at the very last scene - I absolutely loved it ...kudos to the writers & director too.

Grant it the first few episodes were a bit slow, but the story really picks up after that - for some one whose not in to this genre of stories - I really found this drama interesting..so happy we will get a S 2 & S3...I hope LDW-KB continue their lovable characters & continue being brothers in the following seasons. The female lead Jo Bo Ah too did a great job, the chemistry between LDW & her was soft...there were some sweet, soft romantic kisses and fluffy moments between them.

for me there are couple of highlights in the drama series: firstly the phone message from LDW to KB and later from KB to LDW is sure to make you emotional - you totally feel for the brothers... secondly how LDW and his love got united at the end...I am a big supporter for happy endings....

I would recommend this drama.

Wonderful Drama

This is sweet, soft romantic comedy....in the drama the Female lead is an actress & Male Lead a surgeon -whilst he is calm, quiet and serious, the female lead is totally opposite sweet, forthright, lively and very determined....I love shows about the love journey between successful/accomplished mature couples. I like this drama as they don't have in-law issues, love triangles or long breakups, melodrama- any misunderstanding they have gets cleared swiftly. There is a nice story for the Second Male & Female leads too - at times their story is tear jerking the couple end on a happy note.

The main female lead is very persistent & determined in pursuing the male lead - and its so much fun to watch - there are elements of comedy thrown in.... As I am a sucker for sweet rom-coms I totally loved this drama, and have re-watched it as well.

Will recommend for people who are in to soft rom-coms, happy endings with less/no melodrama.

Great Watch

I absolutely loved this drama...its a sweet romance story. There are no fighting, in-laws issues, love triangles, misunderstandings that drags on for episodes, break up's...it's a straightforward soft real like drama...if you prefer this kind of drama's where you want to feel good at the end of the series - this is one of the best C- drama's to watch.

The highlight of the drama is the handsome Yang Yang (Male Lead) his acting was great, he seemed like a good kisser too (LOL) he's absolutely gorgeous in some scenes - at times the female lead come across a bit forced, though overall she did a good job too. The main theme song was sung by the Main Lead his voice & lyrics are beautiful (the english translation).

I noticed in lot of Chinese Drama's the female leads are timid. I like the fact that Female Lead in this drama excelled in the particular game and was good at studies (often in drama's we find the female lead being average). Of course in this drama too Male Lead is near genius level, the character was beautiful- calm composed and knows what he wants, trusts his girlfriend, his choices even though at times he is bossy and wants his way.

I would recommend to watch if you are in to sweet soft romantic drama's with happy endings.
