Completed in 2025

Loved the main characters.  Very memorable story.  Show felt disjointed towards the end due to Youku deleting scenes, but still happy I watched this show.

Good story that pulls you right in.  Great humor.  Nicely paced with lots of variety.  Fight scenes were satisfying to watch.

A low budget, low quality type of production.  Movie spans high school, college, and working life so doesn't give you breathing room to connect with the characters.  Don't really recommend.

Waste of time.  Do not recommend.  Acting was bad.  A lot of things made no sense.  Structure was dumb; it was like writers ran out of material so they suddenly switched to focusing on 2nd couple for latter half of the show.  Lame overall.

Real good short series with a story and characters that are gripping.  Especially love the female lead character.

Enjoyable action movie with good use of CGI.

Really good.  Extremely well made show with story and characters that are interesting and well developed.

(Note: there's an extra/special episode, "ep11.")

Decent mystery/investigative + supernatural type show.  Cases were interesting.

Decent short series.  It's a not-to-be-taken-seriously type of show, with goofy humor and a good story.

Watched it for the investigative aspect.  Not good, but wasn't horrible enough to drop.  Main problem is that cases were solved too abruptly.

Seemed like a filler season.  Had some good moments, but lacked charm of season 1. Also, ep5 can be skipped entirely; can't believe they had a filler episode for a show that only had 13 episodes in total.

Very amateurish, almost cringey production.  Director and writers are to blame as they clearly did not care.  Do not recommend at all unless you're watching for your favorite stars.

Good show overall.  Definitely recommend.  Love all the main characters.  Each arc is well done. (Has an extra/bonus episode.)  9.25/10

Cases are interesting.  The two main leads are outstanding.  High quality production.  9.25/10

P.S. Don't miss the after-credit scene at the end of the last episode!

Waste of time.  Poor production quality, very jumpy, not captivating, nothing unique or special at all.

Very well made short series with great pull, good pacing, and interesting mysteries.  (Based on story from The Great Escape, Season 6, eps5-6.)   8.75/10

Very basic short series. Nothing special or unique about it.  Also for a show this short, why did they put in a second couple?  lol

Hated it.  Waste of a great cast.  Hilarious Family did a way better job with this type of show.  Too many sudden tonal changes.  About 90% of the conflicts were: person A acts like a jerk, problem is resolved, "haha tricked you" person A was not a jerk and this is what really happened, then flashback reveal or plot twist; that was so tedious and annoying to see over and over again.  Only endured the show because of the cast; do not recommend if you're not watching for the cast.

Not worth watching. Very cursory type of production, jumps from scene to scene. No real development or connection to characters. Do not recommend.

Not well made.  It's like they tried to force 3 different types of shows into one... imagine eating pizza and your first bite is just cheese, second bite is just sauce, third bite is just dough... it's not well blended together - that's this show. Plus so much cringe dialogue, unnecessary scenes, and excruciatingly slow pacing (you could watch at 2x speed and understand what's going on).

The main couple stuff was fantastic (9.5/10) - creative, interesting, and fun - and I would definitely recommend watching just for that.  The side couple stuff was not bad, but basically your standard/typical plotlines.  Overall, good show, 8.75/10.

Meh.  Nothing noteworthy at all.  Very forgettable.

Alright short series. Seemed like a low budget and shorter version of Delicacies Destiny.

10/10.  Great show about love, family, friendship, growing up, etc.  Main characters are so lovable.  Pacing is fantastic; plotlines are not dragged out like in some other shows.  Highly recommend.

Amusing and funny short series about two neighbors. 9.25/10

This was a good, light, calm show with beautiful people and scenery.  8.75/10

Hated it.  Worst case interpretation: ML was basically a stalker.  Best case interpretation: ML was an unrealistic character.  Show was also badly made - too much stuff repeated, way too slow and draggy (should've been a 12-16 episode show), all episodes had flashbacks and a huge majority of them were annoyingly redundant.

Decent show.  Well made.  The fighting and the choreography were so nicely done.

Ok show.  I have nothing horrible to say about it, but there was also nothing really outstanding.

Decent, simple short film.

Boring.  Had no pull.  Nothing worth talking about.  Do not recommend.

Pointless movie.  Went nowhere.  Waste of time.

Episodes 1-13 were an easy 10/10 - so fun, light, fluffy, and cute; the development of the relationship and back-and-forth between ML & FL were great.  After that, I wish they had done more trimming as some of the side stuff slowed things down.  Still, would recommend.  9.25/10

Alright short film.  Pretty basic; indie feel to it; nothing really special though.  7.25/10

Episodes 1-4 were great, felt different from a typical cdrama, and had the vibe of a European movie.  Ep5-7 had different pacing and went through a lot in a short span of time.  Overall ok show.

First 17 episodes were great - nice, light, fun watch.  Then the rest of the show got a tonal switch, parts felt rushed, parts didn't make sense... sigh... another one of those shows.

Decent short series with good pacing, consistent tone throughout the show, and no filler stuff. 

This was SO BORING and way too long.  Nothing about it was gripping - the characters, the pacing, the plot... all of it was so bland.  Took me 3 months to finish.  Also I didn't feel the bromance in this show at all.

If anyone else gets bored of this, just skip to the last episode.

Good, light show.  Loved the humor and the ML character.  8.75/10

Ok short series that had good moments and was mostly enjoyable though seemed like it was written to be a longer format type of show as a lot of things seemed to go by fast. 7.75/10

The concept of this short series seemed interesting at first, but as it went on, it made less and less sense.  Also not emotionally engaging due to the "rewritings."

Gripping movie with good tension and action.

Overall, good show - nicely paced, good action and humor. 8.75/10

This was so GOOD!!!  Great adventure story with mysteries that I kept wanting to find out more about, plus great action scenes and nice humor.  Highly recommend!  9.75/10

Random slice of life extra scenes for fans of the show.  Very forgettable.

Nothing much happened, just random scenes, pointless and forgettable. Do not recommend.

I feel like this will be one of those shows that most people will miss and unfortunately it won't get talked much about.  The show had enjoyable humor and great characters, and it did an amazing job of seamlessly blending all the different aspects of the show together (the scifi with the costume, the themes of love and devotion).

Wish they had done more with the disguise part to make the show more unique and special because aside from that, this was a very ordinary show.

Enjoyable, light, and easy to watch with super consistent humor and pacing throughout the show.  If you like the first couple of episodes, you will like the rest.  8.75/10

Good captivating show.  Well made and very satisfying to watch.  9.25/10
(for both part 1 and part 2)

The initial setup was interesting, but then the show became very bland, predictable, and boring.  Also had technical problems (random voiceovers, hairpieces not blended in well).  Do not recommend at all.

Meh.  Only watch if you're a fan of someone in the cast or need a background watch while waiting for food to cook.  Nothing spectacular.  Parts were jumpy.  Villain is typical cartoonish caricature.  Easily forgettable.

Do not recommend.  Hated this.  Completely different from the other Detective Chinatown movies. Not funny at all and subject matter doesn't fit this franchise.  Parts were extremely cringe.

Meh.  Too much going on with too many people and not enough time to do any sort of development.  Looks like someone just borrowed the special effects scenes from the Lord of the Rings movies.  Would've worked better as a cdrama rather than a movie.

A straightforward type of movie.  Nothing horrible though nothing spectacular.  Watchable.

Overall, good movie with great acting, tension, and intrigue... was a bit put off by sudden loud music/singing at certain parts (I guess it was supposed to be operatic singing?).

Ok.  Not bad, but also nothing groundbreaking.

Not well made.  Production decisions as well as story elements make this seem like a cheap mini-series.  Lot of things unexplained.  Horrible acting by female villain (seemed like she belonged in a completely different type of show).

Go in with the expectation that the focus is on serious family drama; it is not mainly a romance show and not an easy/light watch.  Well made, though not my type of show.  (Only watched it for ZYR.)

This is a very well made short series.  Feels complete, with good characters and interesting plot.

Boring, slow, and predictable.  Very beginning premise was interesting, but it went away real fast.  Do not recommend.

Was on my watchlist for the potential bromance.  Show itself was very average, nothing outstanding.  Secondary characters and couples were unnecessary and boring.  Only watch if you're interested in the bromance aspect otherwise there are better shows to watch.

Ok.  Some parts were enjoyable and some required suspending disbelief, but decent for a short series.

Did not rate because there wasn't anything really to rate.  Each 3 minute episode is someone talking to camera.  Seems more like an acting exercise.

Meh.  Nothing really noteworthy.  Easily forgettable.

Did not like this at all; waste of time.  Start was slow and draggy.  Story was lame and uninteresting.  Mom was so annoying.  ML disappearing made no sense.  Boring from start to finish.  Even the romance part wasn't done well.  There are better ways to spend your time.

Ineffective mix of investigative plus palace politics.  The investigative parts were repetitive and uninteresting.  The palace stuff was tedious and confusing, with so many names and relationships, and so many simple and annoying characters.  FL was too OP.  There are way better similar shows in comparison.  (Note: also watched the 4ep variety show on iQiyi.)

Has a lot of good ideas, but could've been better produced. Tonal shifts, some scenes could've used more takes, some acting was questionable.

Not a cohesive production.  Had tonal inconsistencies throughout.  Some scenes felt like they belonged in a different show. The mysteries weren't intriguing. Very bland and simplistic show. 6.75/10

Episodes 1-29 were enjoyable.  Episodes 30-36 were so slow, full of dumb conflicts that were conveniently resolved too quickly, and had too many pointless scenes trying to drag this out to a 36 episode show.  The battle/fight scenes were all great to watch though.  7.75/10
