Shows Completed in 2025

Glad that this was my 1st completed drama in 2025. 6 episodes is too short! I need moree! 10 episodes would be perfect ?

My rating is between 7.5 - 8. The storyline not really hit the mark for me. Political talks and scheme often bored me and this drama had tons of it . Mostly I watched those scenes in 1.5 -2x speed. The romance was just ok.

The disappointed parts: Most of the times, I feel nothing from their kiss scenes ( their lips touched then the scene changed into a wide shot which did not help at all ). I was expecting the intense kind of romance as intense as their revenge but I was left disappointed.

I really enjoyed the first 29 episodes, ready to give this 8.5/10 ??. Enjoyed the plot & main couple's scene (Xie Xue Chen & Mu Xuan Ling) they had electrifying chemistry which was rare to find in xianxia these days . But the plot really lost me at ep 33 ??. Ah Jue & Zhao Ming story was kinda boring .....should take few episodes less. The last few episodes were the worst. The plot twist is not twisting. When they made HT the evil being, in all seriousness the whole scenario was just looked funny to me ???.

Liked the first half of the story, it was addictive, angsty & fast paced. But pity the plot lost its spark in the second half, I was bored. 10 minutes per episode and I still use that 2X speed button ??

Comfortable ,mature & heartwarming love story ?. In love with the OST ??

The fact that it took me more than a month to finish this says it all. The plot was so so so so boring . Watched in 2x speed still does not feel fast enough. The chemistry between leads nada. The romance was lackluster. Fighting scene was good imo. OST just good enough. Just another disappointing drama that I anticipated prior to its airing ?.

Just finished this drama and here is my short review:

My rating:
☑️ Plot : Between 7-8/10. Some parts were interesting some parts were not which I mostly watched in 2x speed mode. The storyline was not that addicting but still enjoyable enough.
✅️ Acting : 9/10. All cast down to their supporting character did good job in potrayal their roles. The villains here could compete in top 10 of the most cruelest and hated villains in historical c-drama.
✅️ Chemistry & romance : 8.5/10. Jin Tian and Zhang Wan Yi had good chemistry with each other. They looked comfortable with each other and like a pair really in love . I liked that ML was more expressive and not shy at all in showing his love towards FL. One thig that surprised me was this drama has many kiss scenes if compared with the other historical cdrama I've seen . Not that I am complaining.
✅️ Comedy : 8.5/10. I enjoyed FL's father and her brother scenes. Their scene always cracked me up good. ML and his servant with our super adorable character, Erniu. Loved this dog!
☑️ OST, cinematography,costume: 8/10.

?Overall rating: 8/10.

The romance and chemistry between leads definitely a 10/10. I think if there is an award of xianxia with the most kiss scenes of the year, WDBTD would win lol ?. But it's a shame, the plot was not that captivating for me, it was lacking something but I could not pinpoint what. While watching, I was not that crazy about the storyline. Sima Jiao character reminds me of Tantai Jin. His background was as pitiful in the same manner. Other then when our leads were onscreen, I used 3x speed to watch the rest. Thus I could finished this one just within 4 days . OST were just okay. In terms of costumes and cinematography maybe an 8.5/10,because as a xianxia lover I've seen better. My overall rating : 8.3/10.

(P/s: Now I know why this xianxia was previously named as Long For Fish ??)

8/10 for an engrossing earlier episodes, great action scenes & great chemistry between leads. Here we got adult romance that was done right . While the conspiracy plot in the last 2 episodes was messy at best ,the show trying to make it complex but it just did not worked for me.

The first 8 episodes were promising but the plot went downhill from episode 9. Lots of things does not make sense when you watch it with your brain intact. Finished the last 4 episodes just for the sake of finishing this.
