Karma is REAL!
This show was absolutely amazing, I loved the plot and how the main lead got revenge on everyone who wronged her and treated her poorly. I love the vibes of the drama and the main lead's outfits were nice. I love the relationship between the main female lead and the family of the main male lead. At some point, his family became her family and it was so nice to see her finally getting support and comfort after her hard life.Story :
The story was perfect and interesting. I love how the way everything played out. The main leads get into a car crash to take them both back into the past. This is a chance for the female lead to get her revenge and the male lead to fix his mistakes. It was so nice to see all the people who did the main lead wrong get what they deserved. Revenge is a dish best served COLD. I just don't really like how towards the end, it felt a bit rushed and like the producer was trying to finish everything so quickly, but for 12 episodes everything was pretty well done. It was amazing to see the main female lead get revenge along with finding herself at the same time. She made a ton of friends and allies which helped her overcome her wicked mother and evil daughter.
Music :
The songs were pretty good. Perfect songs are used in the right places, like dark and intense songs for the revenge and nerve-racking part of the drama. The ending song was also really nice but not anything really special.
Acting:
The main lead acting was soooo good. The on-screen chemistry was perfect. The main lead just gave off the best main character energy. The male lead is a huge green flag, and the way he agrees to her terms even if she was just marrying him to use him and his power, he still willingly did it. Like come on, a guy like that is hard to come by. The female lead was also amazing, the way you can feel her anger and sadness in certain scenes. Ugh PERFECT! You know the acting is good when the antagonists in the drama make you hate their guts and you just want to go through the screen and get rid of them. Like they were so annoying and irritating which makes their acting top-tier. LOVED the chemistry between Do Guk and Yi Joo!!!! These two really sold their roles well and actually managed to touch me. You can feel the tension and they were just oozing with chemistry. The smaller couples were also really cute. The female lead is so good as Yi Joo, she played the role perfectly. The male lead also did well.
Ending:
The ending was nice, the fact that the main couple accepted each other and decided to live the rest of their lives happily and not worrying about anything else was so sweet. The MIL and the aunts of Yi Joo's reaction to her pregnancy were so cute. THe ending felt a bit rushed with the reveal of Yi Joo's real mother, how they got separated, etc. Also how the male lead got into a car crash and almost didn't make it, but that was what brought them out of the time loop. Ending the drama with the main couple living happily in their home with their new born child was the perfect way to end the drama providing a satisfying ending for all the viewers watching.

Dare I say the best casting in a while??
OMG! I decided to watch this drama for Cheng Xiao as she is my favorite actress, but the whole cast got me hooked. This drama had no reason to be this good. I'm at a lost for words, I legit finished this drama in like 2 days bc it's sooo addicting. Once you start watching you really cant stop. I'm sooo impressed with everything, from the casting to the acting to music and production!!! Probably the best drama I watched in 2025Story :
The story was amazing, I love the way the producers did this drama. The story was sooo interesting. How it originally started with mr. zhuo wanting revenge at the demon lord for killing his brother and father to them working together to fight other demons and solve cases was sooo refreshing to watch. I also love all the plot twists and how each episode kept you entertained as there's always a new problem or situation, rather than a lot of dramas who extend one problem for like 3-4 episodes. I love how each character has a trouble or hardship that impacts them , making them the bad demon's target but there able to overcome them by working together. I also love that it's kind of like crime solving genre which is something i really enjoy watching. My only complaint is that they killed off a lot of characters(some of my favorite characters were killed :( ) To be honest, not every character needed to be killed but the producers and directors went through with it, which was kind of disappointing.
CGI:
The CGI was literally sooo coool. Everything looked soo real. An aspect I really enjoyed was when the demon lord used a spell that would control someone the word would faintly show up on screen which was a really cool element. The powers, to the combat scenes were amazing and felt so real. The costumes were also on point, i love how they match the vibe and aesthetic of every character.
Music :
The music was everything! I loved every song, the song Cheng Xiao sang with the actor who played cheng xiao's character's brother in the show was soo good, literally brought me to tears. Honestly one of the best soundtracks out of every drama I watched.
Acting:
The acting was really good by the cast. Let me just talk about Cheng Xiao, her acting improved soo much, she played her character perfectly and really brought the character to life. Her moves too, omg perfection. She plays the archer role and all her combat scenes were amazing. The way the director imputed her flexibility into her fighting really made her character stand out. The other actors were also so good. Hou Ming hao and Cheng Du ling had so much chemistry, also the relationship with like all the team members was so sweet. The little kid was adorable and the mountain god!! omg i could die for them, they really brought some comedic relief. Overall this cast was amazing and the directors really did a good job with everything.
Ending:
The ending was traumatic to say the least. I did not like the fact that they ended up killing of so many characters, some didn't even need to die as it really didn't do anything for the plot. But besides that the ending was bittersweet. It made me cry so much, each character lost and been through so much, and an ending like this helped a lot of characters get the closure they needed that they couldn't get when living.
Amazing drama!! Loved it, will definitely rewatch. Please support this drama as you will not be disappointed!! :)

Happy Ending!!!
I started this show bc of Cheng Xiao but continued watching it bc of Liu Tao and Chen He's characters relationship. If was really cute and sweet. Cheng Xiao's acting got a lot better. I've seen some clips of her other dramas on Tiktok and there is a really big improvement. Cheng Xiao has amazing chemistry with every actor she's in a drama with. I didn't really like Cheng Shu and Liao Ran's relationship as it was very choppy and got really annoying to watch. That's probably what ruined it for me, otherwise it would have gotten a 10/10. This show focuses on family issues like being pressured, being forced but with a very funny plot. Cheng Man, Kong Li Qi and Cheng Miao, Ma Boyuan's chemistry was amazing. The music was amazing, I especially like the song that played during Cheng Miao and Ma Boyuan"s scenes. Obviously this show isn't for everybody but you can try to watch it and see if you like it because i thought I wouldn't like it s I'm someone who's into historical and WuXia dramas. THis drama makes you feel really warm and bubbly. It focuses on the theme of New Years so it's best to watch at winter or with family.I LOVE Cheng Xiao!!!<333333

Prepare tissues!!
I've been looking for somewhere to watch this drama as I saw the trailer and it looked really nice, once I was able to watch it I did not stop. I was addicted. Although I cannot say it was the best or mind blowing(Fangs of Fortune took the spot this year lol) but this drama was definitely still really good and worth the watch. Not many episodes but each episode is packed with so much detail and plot, definitely recommend watching.Story :
The story was really unique. I haven't seen many dramas that have the concept of tribulations and going through different lives over and over again but the meaning of this drama was so cute. The fact that the main couple was with eachother since the beginning to the end. Every lifetime they manage to find eachother and fall in love. Their story was for sure tied with a red string. The plot twist throughout the drama was soo good, it definitely kept me on the hook. This drama is quite different from other XianXia dramas, it does not use the same repetitive plot which tends to bore viewers. The amount of tears I shed for the main cast is crazy, I feel like i was crying every two episodes.
CGI:
Of course in any XianXia dramas, there is a ton of CGI but the CGI in this drama was really good. I loved the backgrounds and all the sets as they were beautiful, especially the heavenly kingdom, the different colour clouds, and the pretty building structures with white and gold! Perfect. The costumes were magnificent, actual works of art. I so badly wanted to wear all of the main female lead's clothes.
Music :
The music was so beautiful! The OST is genuinely sooo pretty of a song. OMG I want it ingraved into my skull. It's so pretty and sweet but also packs a lot of emotion and whenever it played, you could feel the emotion the song gives.
Acting:
The acting was really good. Yang Chaoyue's acting improved soo much. She really managed to perfect her facial expressions very well. Compared to the first drama I saw her in, she has definitely matured. Her crying scenes feels a lot more real and authentic and her acting has become less childish which made this drama so much better. Dance of the phoenix, the first drama I saw her in, it was alright but her acting made it really uncomfortable, her being so childish even during scenes where it should be serious really ruined the drama. So seeing such big improvement was so satisfying. Ding Yuxi did an amazing job portraying his character, I loved when he went through a tribulation and became Lu ChangKong. He was so cute obsessing over Song XiangYun. He did an amazing job. All the actors in this drama did amazing, I loved how there was no toxic/annoying character who is so obsessed with one of the main leads cuz that gets repetitive and boring.
Ending:
The ending was bittersweet, made me cry. I loved how every character got what they deserved and had a good ending. Something that bothers me a lot and this happens in a lot of dramas with very heavy plots is when they rush the ending. although the ending in this drama was not too badly rushed, you could still feel a little bit. I feel like the producers shouldn't have spent so many episodes focusing on their 2nd tribulation as it took up most of the drama leaving less time and room for the other 4 tribulations. Some of the tribulations I wanted to see ore of but was unable to do to the time difference. If the tribulations were evenly split between episodes, it would have been a lot better in my opinion. Overall though, this was an amazing drama and definitely worth the watch. I cannot wait to rewatch this when I have noting else to do.

10/10 RECOMMEND!!!!!!
OMG! I didn't have that high of hopes to this drama because I thought it was gonna be a typical fighting for power but completely different in the best way possible. So many sweet moments, not only from the main leads but the bond between all the girls was heartwarming. <3Story :
The story was amazing, I love the way the producers did this drama. This drama focuses on the female stereotype back then where they cannot work, cannot interfer with politics basically any job a man can do women were banned from it. The way this drama helped to break the stereotype by not only having each female character to be badass but also working together to make the 9 states a better place for females was amazing. The fact that these females proved that females can do what males can do, maybe even better really made this drama so much more worth watching. Of course there was some fight for power between the male actors but most of them got along well and didn't try to sabotage each other was so different to see. This was a drama done right. A lot of dramas now wants to impose a strong female lead but end up making them weak towards the end which is so irritating, but this drama brought together all the women working together with their own strengths and skills.
CGI:
The wasn't much CGI from what I can tell but the costumes and the backgrounds were gorgeous. I love how each character has outfits that fit their personalities and how they act. Shyer characters were lighter clothing while more outgoing characters were more bright clothes.
Music :
The music was great! Wasn't anything that epic but also provided a sense of comfort while being soothing to the ear. The OST was good given that there were no words but still sounded amazing none the less.
Acting:
The acting was really good by the cast. I haven't seen many of the male or female leads other dramas, but they did great for this one. I heard of the male lead a couple times and he did a really great job performing his role. I love how he embodied his character. The seemingly "weak" prince actually being strong and smart was very well done by his part. The female lead's acting was ok. I liked her acting and she is really cute. Given the fact that she is a newer actress she did amazing. I love all the actors and actresses, especially the third princes wives. They were so funny and they all disliked their husband and wanted to get away from him as much as possible which was really funny to see. Overall, everybody did a great job in embodying their roles. #impressed lol :p
Ending:
The ending was amazing. The fact that the women were able to transform the way people viewed females were amazing. The ending where all the new people came in to interview for jobs(remind you they are all girls) applying for official positions which is normally jobs held by guys and each girl coming from one of the 9 states standing in front of the other girl who came before, emotional. The real definition of feminism and fighting for equality. Which was achieved at the end of the drama and for 40 episodes, nothing felt rushed and it was just perfect!
Amazing drama!! Loved it, will definitely rewatch. The 7th prince and his wife were soo cute. They are the textbook definition of introvert couple.

Clean way to reset your mind
If you're looking for a drama that's short and not a lot of episodes then this drama is a must watch. I first saw some clips of this drama on my Tiktok for you page and thought it was interesting and decided to give it a try. Totally worth it!!! This drama is about two people who goes on a bus and ends up getting trapped in a time loop due to an explosion accident on the bus. THese two work together to solve the mystery and try to save everyone in the process. an amazing drama that's written really well. Although this drama mentions a cycle of repeat, it never gets boring. Each new cycle is filled with more clues and situations that makes you feel like your apart of the crowd. Each cycle is different and provides different points and clues. The main leads chemistry was amazing. Even though it was a slow-paced romance, but you could definitely feel the chemistry was there. with only 15 episodes, the directors and production crew managed to tell a story in a short amount of episodes while not rushing the plot or the ending, providing the viewers with a sense of comfort. Throughout the whole show, you will never get bored and it is really amazing to watch. Thee ending was also very well done, because usually in a short-episode dramas, they tend to rush the ending to quickly finish the drama, but all the pieces come together and provides a very satisfying ending. everyone on that bus got an ending where they live their normal lives and their happy, providing each character with a sense of closure. I also love the way all the passengers of the bus helped even though they dont know eachother, which really shows the compassion of people when faced with dangers.*A little spoiler!!!!!!*
The acting was also very well done by the whole cast, especially the lady carrying the bomb, hearing her story about her daughter and how painful it was for her.
Overall this was an amazing drama to help refresh your mind if you feel too overwhelmed by longer dramas or don't have a lot of time to finish a long drama. I finished this drama in 3 days, it was so addicting!!!!! <333333

Truly a long ballad!
To be honest, this is my third time rewatching this drama as I have watched it before and every time it is just as good. I don't think I can ever get sick of this drama. The acting, to the story, to the production are all chef's kiss. This is one of the few dramas I've watched that made me feel this way. Although 49 eps seems long when watching it, it really isnt. Each episode is filled with entertainment you can never really get sick of. I genuinely cannot find another drama as amazing as this one. It has everything you need and would like in one drama. Truly a masterpiece.Story :
The story speaks about the history of Da Tang, which is the mainland and most popular land in the olden days of China. The emperor in this drama, Li Shimin is an actual person in ancient chinese history. He was one of the best emperor China has seen. This drama focuses on the life of a rebel princess, Li Changge, going through hardships and learning valuable lessons. I love how the story never stirred away from the main plot and always focused on Changge and all her experiences. Typically dramas with a lot of episodes tend to get lost in the middle, but this drama stayed on point throughout all 49 episodes so props to the director and producers. The way Changge wanted revenge on the person who killed her family but ended giving that up as she realised that would not bring peace, but more suffering. The symbolism in this drama was also amazing, the way the beginning and the ending mirrors each other makes the ending all the more satisfying.
CGI:
The CGI was really good. I love how some parts of the drama the producers imputed ani8mated scenes because some people cannot handle people dying or like a mass slaughter. This helps all viewers enojoy the show without leaving anyone uncomfortable. The costumes were also really good, especially the ashele ren's. The long hair and head pieces, looks way better than the tang outfits, in my opinion. Very well done!
Music :
The music was perfect! The beginning song/OST is one of my favorite songs everrrr. It's soo good, literally gives me chills. Tyhe whole soundtrack was amazing as well. The actor who plays Hao du(Liu yunning) is an amazing singer, a lot of the songs in this drama and other dramas are sang by him. Music was perfect, the way the music matches the situation, and how whenever we see ashelesun or the egale tribe, or any other grassland tribe had their own like intro music which really fit their situation and their like culture, if that makes sense.
Acting:
The acting was really good by the cast. This is the first drama I watched with wu lei, and boy let mje tell you he shined. I heard of hipm from Nirvana in fire, but he 2was very young in that show, so seeing how much he grown and how he is able to bring such a complicated character to life amazes me. For only being 21 years old, he did an amazing job. Dilireba, as a mazing as always! Her acting never disappoints, she always manages to slay her roles but i feel like the role of Li Changge was meant for her, I genuinely cannot imagine another person playing this role. Zhao lusi also did amazing, I love her character. The way her character used to be a scared little girl who always cried and needed protection to being able to stand up for herself was amazing. Zhao lusi really portrayed this role so well, Well done to all the actors and actresses in this drama, everyone did amazing. I also want to applaud the emperor's acting, you could really feel his pain when he heard that Li Changge died, and the way he loved his people and wanted nothing but peace for everyone. The chemistry between wu lei and reba was off the charts!! The way you cant even feel a big age difference bc they made their relationship so comfortable and nothing awkward between them. I genuinely want to see them in another drama together cuz they did amazing. The character development of every character was amazing, some realized the path they want to take, others realized they been looking at the situation all wrong and some gained confidence in themselves. The changes really show how time and a journey could change someone.
Ending:
The ending was amazing, a perfect ending really. We got to see our main couple have a happy ending. I love how neither the main couple or second lead couple had to say the words "I love you" to the other, it really shows more symbolism, like i dont need to say it to show you i love you. The way they let their actions show how they feel was so sweet. The ending where they managed to fight the evil person and bring peace to the whole world, where there is no more fighting bc at the end the people suffering the most is the citizens, who are innocent. A perfect ending for everyone, kinda feel sorry for mujin tho, he lost the love of his life, wish they could have gotten a happy ending.
Overall an amazing drama!!!! Will definitely rewatch and never get tired of it <3333

Perfect youth drama!!!
I started this drama in early September before school got busy. It started great. The casual meeting of the main leads and the friendship between the main cast was the sweetest thing. Starting the drama, I could not relate to the plot as I hadn't met a group of friends that I connected to. I stopped watching for a while because of school and I had to focus. Now finishing this drama during summer break has been heartbreaking. I made so many new friends this year and now I don't want to lose them. Watching this drama reminded me of my friends and how we are all moving on, pursuing new goals. There is no longer a see you tomorrow as there is no more tomorrow, when September rolls by, we will all be in university.Aside from this, the drama itself was short and sweet. A perfect blend of friendship and high school romance. High school lovers until they grew up. I love how the female lead was so bubbly and presistance. How could you not fall for someone so persistent? The main male lead WAS A WALKING GREEN FLAG. No matter what happens, he always stays by the female lead and on her side, avoiding any conflict that could lead to misunderstanding. The perfect guy. I loved the friendship displayed in this drama, the sweet interactions, and how each one of them cared for each other. The second lead was just as cute. It took them a while to figure out each other's feelings but it was worth it. Something I didn't like was towards the end of the drama. things felt a little bit rushed. After the main leads got together, the whole plot sped up, moving through high school, then university getting jobs growing up, and getting married. It kinda diverged from a sweet high school rom-com to a more grown-up version, but the female lead was still giving vibes of immaturity despite being an adult. Some scenes were a little cringy but you can ignore that because the main leads chemistry was off the charts. It was amazing, the way they understood each other so well, and how the female lead managed to bring out the cheerful and happy side of the male lead was perfect. Overall really good drama, was pretty short which makes it perfect for people who don't have a lot of time or patience to go through intense long episodes. This drama was refreshing and helped to clean the plate from all the heavy plot, and a lot of misunderstandings.
Definitely recommend it for anyone to watch, high schoolers who need something to relax, or even adults to help them remember their childhood and how life was for them. I 100% recommend it! I just wished Guan Fang found someone because my boy was so lonely and single. He became the fifth wheel everywhere they went.

Holy, almost dropped this drama
This show was absolutely decent, can't get anymore basic than this. I don't even know where to start, I don't even know if there was any part of the show that I really liked. I got bored halfway through and angry the rest of the drama to the end.Story :
The story was boring, a femlae cross-dressing as a male to get into a company that doesn't hire female programmers just so she can get closer to her crush she had for like 6 years?? and the fact that she does not even look like a boy. How does a boy wear eyeliner and long lashes and redish lips?? Although yes some guys look less manly than others but at least you can still tell their a guy, but in this drama. HELL NO! Also the whole relationship with the main leads is so off-putting. THe female lead loving this guy for like 6 years and this guy stops hiring female programmers because of one incident?a real mature. I hate how the male lead and female lead pretended to be in a relatisohnshpp and said not to reveal it but decided to forcefully kiss the female lead just to get his ex jealous like please, that is so long ago. I also hate bow the ex/love rival would not take a hint, she's soo presistant and adamint about ruining his relationship and then the main lead will get back with her, little does she know the main lead already fell in love with the female lead and you don't got a chance.
Music :
Music was forgettable, nothing really more to say about it.
Acting:
Okay I'm so sick of the main leads who are so blind towards their emotions. Like in this drama, Jiang Yicheng clearly like Lu Li but denies it everytime, like no wonder she ended up leaving. Like YIcheng is so oblivious to his emotions, he is literally like a little kid, throwing tantrums. But i guess since his dad was threatening him with his company and whatever but you clearly like Lu li so why not man up and admit it. Also the whole thing with Yicheng and his ex, like your already dating someone even if it's only like a contract relationship but still. Lu li told you if your gonna meet with the ex to bring her along, you do it once then never again, like so insensitive. Anyways now onto Lu li. I have never met a character as immature and childish as her. Holy, I don't understand how you can be so obsessed with him that you change your appearance just to work at his company. I do have to say she is smart when it comes to programming but that's all her brain can do. She cannot process other things, lie there were so many misunderstandings that could have been solved if she just realized it, also open your eyes girl Jiang Yicheng is a red flag. Now moving onto the main couple... HOLY the misunderstandings go crazy!!! I cannot stand it, I'm so surprised i made it to the end. Omg the way they argued about the littlest things, and how Lu li threw tantrums about each problem and never confronted Yicheng or even asked him. If they just sat down and talked it all out everything would be fine. Instead Lu li packed her things and dipped to another city which then made Yicheng realize he loves her?? Like a little too late. Also the way the supporting character, Yi ming was trying to tell Yicheng to clarify the misunderstandings and to talk with her, but yicheng never does, like it's so infuriating. The other cast memebers were alright, I kinda liked yicheng's sister, she provided comedy relief which is soo needed if you want to continue the drama and not drop it. Also that weird guy towards the end when Lu li is in another city, wtf why?
Ending:
Ok ok, the ending lowkey redeemed the drama. I love how Yicheng continued to fight for Lu li's love and didnt give up. The ending was good and I'm glad everything got resolved. Although it took a while for them to get there, at least they managed at the end which i think is worth. Also the second couple was so cute. Honestly all the couples were cute. Overall this was an okay drama.

I love Ju Jingyi
I'd say that this was a pretty good drama to watch, it's not too long but it has enough to keep the story and viewers entertained.Story :
The story was pretty unique compared to the other dramas under this genre. We have a boy with special capabilities, ventures down a mountain to go join this magic sect, meets some friends who work together to kill demons and save the world. It's pretty different but has similarities. Something I really enjoyed in this drama was how there was no misunderstandings between the main couple. Though yes there were love rivals for both the male and female leads but they never did anything to ruin the relationship between the main couple. They allowed them to be happy without causing any extra drama or problems, which is something I find so special when I come across it in dramas. There were also a couple plot twists which kept me entertained, I never felt bored watching and the scenes between the main couple was so cute, and the scenes with the main 4 group was also as cute.
Music :
The music was pretty good overall. The beginning song for when they play all the credits was kind of boring as there were no words, but the songs during the battle scenes were really good. I don't really remember if there's a song where Ju Jingyi sings but I hope there is because I love her voice and she usually sings one song in every drama she stars in.
Acting:
The main lead acting pretty good. OMG Ju Jingyi!!!! I've seen comments about her acting and how she doesn't really show emotion but I really like her character in this drama. I think she did a good job at portraying her. Her character is a carefree and very sneaky girl who likes to make jokes and stuff. Her character was very well done and not forgettable. Chen Zheyuan was also really good. His character is a very carefree and innocent personality. Although he has gone through a lot of hardships, he still remains innocent even after finding out his dad was supposedly a "traitor" to the magic sect. The other two actors was also pretty good, though I find their characters kind of forgettable. I love how the main couple had no misunderstandings and a lot of sweet scenes. Even when something bad as going to happen and when Han Lingsha was trying to push Yun Tianhe towards Liu Mengli as she liked him too, but he insisted on staying with her even though she is known to have a shorter lifespan than most other people which was so cute.
Ending:
The ending was ok but not satisfying. It was very empty? I don't really know how to explain it but it felt incomplete. I guess you can say it was a happy ending as most people got their own ending but it just doesn't seem complete. Although the part where all four of them reunite years later, like they said they would do before was really nice. I love how the producers didn't forget about the promise and added a part like that. the fact that the main couple accepted each other and decided to live the rest of their lives happily and not worrying about anything else was so sweet. Overall this drama was so cute and I really enjoyed it, definitely a rewatch.

Very Sweet!!!
I've watched this drama before I started reviewing and making lists so I know how this drama ends so I'm not rlly gonna write a long-winded review. Overall this drama is short and sweet, the moments between the couples were soo cute. This drama focuses on a female actress with a arranged marriage with a childhood friend who is now a doctor. They go through their ups and downs. I love how this drama had no big misunderstandings and would solve the problem within 1-2 episodes, which is very nice as most dramas drag out the problem for so long it gets really boring. The second couple was just as cute. I felt though the ending was a bit rushed and could have been fixed if they had more episodes. Honestly I wouldn't mind if this drama had 30 episodes, to me it would have worked better. The way the ending just got so compressed, the proposal, marriage and everything moved so quick, but then again the main couple's relationship developed just as quick so I guess it balances out. Despite the rushed ending, this drama is sweet and short which is good for people with short attention spans. I definitely recommend this drama, you won't be disappointed and it has a really cute ending. :)Was this review helpful to you?
I love Ju JingYi <33333333
This show was incredible. The plot twists just kept on coming and I loved it. I feel like when it comes to drams that focus on crime solving and mystery, the focus tends to be drawn away from that and become more dragged.. like the same problem is delt with throught multiple episodes, leving less time for newer cases that could be solved. This tends to make viewers grow tired of mystery dramas, especially if these dramas are very long(ex 40+ episodes) but this drama focused on a lot of different cases, each one having it's own backstory that also ties to the bigger picture makes this show so worth watching.Story :
The story was really well written. It was so good I dont have a lot to comment on lol. First I love the plot, how there's this big organization that has different branches in different places, causing problems for the main leads to solve. I love the female lead, the start was a little confusing but Ju jing Yi played both the evil supporting female lead and female lead very well. The way their personalities were so different, props to her. I also like how the main lead was very focused on her goal. The whole story about revenge and clearing their names while solving crimes together and developing feelings was the perfect mix. The plot twists between each episode and how each episode keeps you entertained. I also like how the director didnt make the second male lead so obsessed with the female lead and always trying to ruin the main couple's relationship, it gets so repetitive as a lot of dramas use this trop, so seeing how the second male lead was able to let the main female lead go and move on to love someone else really helped make this drama a lot better.
Music :
The songs were alright. I didn't really focus on it much as it didn't really catch my ear. It just sounded boring and not special. Maybe because I finished another drama not that long ago with a fire soundtrack that other soundtracks dont seem as good. The songs were great and I still enjoyed the vibes it gave for different scenes, but nothing really stood out to me.
Acting:
The main lead acting was soooo good. I've seen clips of ju jing yi's acting before and also watched some of her older dramas, as much as they were good her acting seemed a bit stiff and sometime not real. Like in previous dramas, when she had to be sad or cry, she barely shed a tear which made it seem really fake. But in this drama, she really brought it. All her scenes and emotions felt as though she actually went through the pain of losing a loved one, etc. Her acting greatly improved. I would love to see her play a evil character, cuz she plays them pretty well. The main lead was really good too. This is the first drama I've seen with him in it and I found his acting really captivating. He was very monotoned but you could still feel his sadness and grief through his acting. Although there wasn't many romantic scenes with the main lead, every scene their in did ooze chemistry. The servants of the main leads were soo cute, their relationship was so cute too. Although it was not fully confirmed that they liked each other, the audience could very much tell. The second lead couple was also really cute, too bad they had very less screen time and it didn't last long :( hope they get to be together in another drama one day.
Ending:
The ending was nice, I like how they finally caught the mastermind behind all the murders and betrayals. Though some characters didn't deserve to die but I like how everyone got a good ending. I do have one question though, and this may be a bit of spoilers but as the main leads solve each case, a tag with a number was found on it. from 7 all the way to 2, but there was no number 1, which was strange because the main mastermind throughout this drama should have been 1, as nothing pointed to a person with higher power. So does that mean we might get a season 2??? hope so, I loved this cast.
Very well done, if your someone who loves mystery then this drama is really good and will keep you hooked.

Very Cute
Very cute drama, super simple not to complex of a plot but still very well done. I love the gaming aspects of this drama which makes it a lot more interesting than just watching a normal drama with a boring plot, the video game aspects really helps spice up the drama.Story :
The story was really good, I love the way the producers wrote this and directed this. The casting was also really good. The female lead not having too many focuses but still being a genius and really pretty makes the show a lot more interesting. Usually the main female lead is given so many titles which makes them seem so powerful but they still end up being bullied which definitely takes away the purpose of the main lead. The main lead being smart and attractive and has all the girls obsessed over him is so typical but so good regardless. The way this story incorporates friendship and very less drama, like the second female lead being obsessive and all that, it still makes the story interesting enough to keep going.
CGI:
The CGI I would say it a little wonky, the scenes when they were in the game looks very fake and you can tell there's so much green screening but it's bearable. The costumes and outfits were really good though, except for the main female lead's dress in that one episode, it looks too childish.
Music :
The music was great! I loved the song they played during the ending credits, YangYang singing is sooo goood.
Acting:
The acting was ok, idk what else to really say. The female lead did okay, the kissing scenes weren't really give given the main female lead doesn't kiss back which takes away the part where there supposedly be in love with each other. It's kind of hard to believe. The supporting actors did really good. I love the friendship between the main leads friend groups. Really wholesome.
Ending:
The ending was pretty good. The main leads ended up together, and i liked how there wasn't any misunderstandings between them even though so many obstacles came in there way. What I didn't like was towards the end, the directors just put in so many problems and drama for the main lead, I guess maybe they thought it was too boring and needed to add conflict. This was very much not necessary, which is probably why the show got dragged out to 30 episodes when it could have been shorter. But it was still really good nonetheless.
Fun fact! The title of this drama is LoveO2O not Love020, it is the letter O and not the number 0 because the show name means Love ONLINE 2 OFFLINE. The main leads met and fell in love online, leading to them meeting and falling in love offline(hence in person).

"You were already the rabbit that has seen the most stars"
Ahhhh! Where to start? This drama is soo goood. The way it explores space from the side of people who work to launch rockets to help explore our galaxy and maybe more is crazy. The amount of hard work and dedication to be able to continue in this line of work even when mistakes and challenges happed. I admire all the people who work in this field, thank you for all the hard work in allowing us to better understand the world we live in.Story :
The story was 10/10! It is sooo good. The way they start from years after and the main lead still has a crush on him. I love how the story was slow, and really allowed us to get to know the characters. Yu Tu being the smart and intelligent guy from school to working as an aerospace engineer really shows the strength of his character. The way he goes through challenges of his own. also the main female lead was amazing. A famous actress(not that she isn't already) who works hard as well. They end up reuniting on a video game, which lead them to develop feelings and get together. The ending of the rocket launch and what all the hard work they put in to achieve.
CGI:
There wasn't much CGI as this is a modern drama so there is no need for it, but it was really well done none the less, especially the rocket launch was epic. I also love the outfits of the main female lead... they were so cute. I want them all, lmaooo.
Music :
The music was great! I love the OST. It's so nice, the song is amazing, it's calm but which really helped set the mood and bring you into the show. Since the show has a really calm vibe, the OST being really calm really helped. The ending song when the rocket was launched was perfect, very emotional.
Acting:
The acting was really good by the cast. Both Dilraba and Yang Yang are experienced actors which made this show much better as their acting seemed so real and genuine. Nothing felt forced or cringe. The way the main leads blend together is crazy, their age gap is very small which makes it very comfortable for them when filming. This provided a very comforting a real relationship between the leads. The whole cast was great too, I also love the fact that there were no villains or evil characters trying to break the main couple up. All trust and understanding. Very rare to see in a C-drama.
Ending:
The ending was perfect. Nothing too romantic but the rocket launch really set the ending. The way so many people came to watch and support the launch of the rocket shows the unity of the country. It was really heartwarming to see people cry. The way the main male lead accomplished his dream and continued his path as an aerospace engineer even when he felt like giving up, then seeing the result of his work. Life changing. The ending wasn't rushed and was perfect. For 32 episodes, they really managed to capture the main leads relationship as well as their own lives and work. It did not feel rushed and everything was flowing perfectly.
Love this drama! Definitely a rewatch.

Watch this with a open mind
I don't really know what to talk about for this show. It was decent, like any typical Wu Xia/Historical drama with the sword fighting, pretty sets and costumes, complex plot for power etc. Nothing really surprising or different.Story :
First the story was good, the way the female lead came into this world and entered some random girl's body(nothing new) big change in personality, lost memories, etc. The story was good and very engaging, kept me hooked for some episodes. The ending was really confusing and didn't make sense. Once you get to the middle of the drama, the plot gets a lot more confusing and a lot of unecesarry events start taking place, which just creates more problems. I couldn't understand what was going on. Nothing really fit together and it feels really choppy, it was either they ran out of money or got lazy and gave up because the start was really good and intriguing, where you can actually understand what is going on, but as you approach the middle everything goes downhill.
CGI:
Not a lot to comment on for the CGI but it was ok. Definitely felt more real and you can't really tell there was any CGI used as it was pretty flawless. Some scenes looked a little fake, like when the main lead flew up a mountain high in the sky with like cherry blossom trees or something. Nothing really special.
Music :
Boring intro music, didn't show much clips of what will happen in the show. The song used for the main leads was nice but nothing really moving. The OST was boring and didn't really provide much.
Acting:
The main leads acting was pretty good, the male lead having more experience in this field did ok, nothing too special, but at some points felt really stiff. The female lead is relatively new, so some of her acting didn't seem right or was just cringy? Especially the parts when she would make up stories to the male lead and like start to act sad and pitiful, it just made me cringe. The chemistry between the leads was nice, I love how the male lead fell in love right away and couldn't even hide it because of some disease or something which prevents him from feeling affection, I don't really know. The second lead was also pretty cute, didn't ever need to confess their feelings with each other but they knew which is so sweet <3 Man give my man Feng Xuan a lover too, he fifth wheeling but he's so cute and obsessed with Feng Wu.
Ending:
The ending, I cannot. The most confusing ending I have seen. I don't even know what happened. The battle between the good and the evil, the main villain not even battling the heroes but having other people who work for her to?? Like girl is useless. The second female lead doing everything to impress the male lead just to find out she never liked him but only liked the power and title she will be given(not surprised). There was no big battle, the main villain just said to the main leads, "you win" and kills herself?? After the big fight, if you would even call it that, the main leads get married, with the whole ceremony and everything. Everyone happy just for the WEDDING TO NOT EVEN HAPPEN, and her master comes from no where and says girl I'm talking you back, like after all that we don't even see them happy together. We don't even know where the female lead came from so like there's no point in going back, and when she goes back what happens to the body she was in before, because that person died long time ago. Doesn't make any sense. Then the audacity for the female lead to say, "you don't need to worry what happens next, just remember the memories, laughter and love we experienced" like tf you mean. Then she looks up to the sky and the show ends. Like ain't no way you make me watch 30 episodes just for that ending.
So if you wanna watch it, go ahead but don't expect much.
