I Love This Drama
I have to admit I am a Yan Zi Dong fan now. His acting is so spot on and he has made me laugh throughout this drama just by the expressions that dance across his face. All you haters of Dylan Wang have to criticize someone. There is nothing wrong with his acting skills. He is not acting cold like in his recent modern drama with Bai Lu. Her acting was no better than his. I am sure that the director or whoever is responsible, wanted the drama to come across like that. But Guardians of the Dafeng is an action packed, interesting drama that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I will remember and rewatch this drama. I groan after each episode because I am so into it that I don't want it to end. I hope to see Yan Zi Dong in more dramas!Was this review helpful to you?
Good Drama
I have enjoyed this drama. The FL was SDC and innocent at the beginning, and she has played her darker self very well. The ML is always consistent (and I will add so handsome) in any drama he is in. I really like the whole cast and even the ones we should hate are worth hating. Gotta love that mean Empress. She makes me want to slap her face. Lol, which means she plays her part way too well. This drama is not a waste of your time even though you may grow impatient with wanting this couple to finally get together. I hope the ending is good and not a bad oneWas this review helpful to you?
A Bad Psychiatrist
The storyline has quite a few holes and the stupidity of the psychiatrist makes it more unbelievable. I think the chemistry is good between the leads actors. There are times the humor makes me LOL, but as intelligent as the FL starts out in the drama, it's disconcerting to watch her dumb down. The brother has been obvious in his feelings for the FL and she should have shut that down from the beginning. Not enough questions have been asked by FL to treat her patients and to be so dim witted is offensive to females and to psychiatry. This is the lowest I have given any drama. Since there is not any new dramas lately, I will paddle through by just watching a couple at a time and shut it down. It is dragging out way too long.Was this review helpful to you?
Love This Drama
The male and female leads are better in this drama than any other I have seen them in. The most stellar performance though must go to the brother played by Zhang Chi. The girl he likes is adorable and just right for him. I am more interested in how these two characters end up together than the leads. They have made this ordinary drama into extraordinary. Zhang Chi plays his character just right...an awkward person that makes you laugh and makes you teary with his puppy dog eyes. Definitely watch this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Best Drama This Year
This drama is certainly worth every episode....it could have had more! I am sad it is over and will think of it often. The ML/FL were totally believable in whichever relationship they were in. I laughed, I cried and the memories of my childhood until marriage rolled around in my head. I never dated a guy from my school, but had plenty of male friends that I could equate on the same level as their friendship. Sigh.....I will miss this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Li Tong Guang
To me, he has become quite interesting. Being Ren Xin's only disciple and teetering between boyhood and becoming a man, his acting is superb and spot on. I don't have to mention the main cast because we all think they are excellent. I really feel Li Tong's despair and I have teared up almost every time he has. Obsessive love has to be a difficult emotion to manage. Great job! This drama has gotten better with almost every episode. I still have 26 episodes to go and I hope it stays on the same feel all the way through.Was this review helpful to you?
Not The Best, But Not The Worst
With so many twists and turns, it's hard to keep up. Actually the relationship is almost questionable between the two men, but threw his sister in the mix to keep it from being questionable. The acting is not so great except the Lead Consort. Her facial expressions are quite cute. It really boils down to the script writers not doing a good job and the director not making the most of the wonderful collection of actors he has available. It is no where near a top tier drama, but there are parts that made me LOL.Was this review helpful to you?
Gotta Love The Horse
This drama had a slow start and hard to see FL not looking her usual glam self. Her costumes are horrible IMO, but it is every day people. It has a slow build and my attention gets sidetracked because it drags on instead of moving on. I have enjoyed watching parts like in Episode 23 when the male lead is surrounded, fighting for his life. His trusty horse comes out of nowhere and takes down a couple of bad guys. It was so unexpected and I LMAO and re watched the scene several times. I'm not use to watching this particular FL playing such a weak woman. There are times she isn't weak. Her character has too many flaws for my taste. Overall it's a pretty good drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Good drama
I think this is a great drama and really don't understand the low ratings given. The ML has never looked as handsome as he appears in this drama. His acting is good, but he always acts his part well. The FL is cute as a button and her expressive face tells more than her words. I like the CP between them.Was this review helpful to you?
Turned Out Better Than Expected
I have always been a fan of Vin Zhang, but have been disappointed in some of the roles he acted in. Normally a cold, dispassionate person who some how wins the girl in the end. This drama is different because he actually has more than a stone face and cold tone to show us. It started out that way for sure, but after a couple of episodes, his character began to change. For the first time, I actually saw a humorous side of Vin Zhang. Even some modern dramas that was humorous didn't show his characters sense of humor. Sun Zhen Ni is at one of her best roles IMO. Both leads have great chemistry towards each other. I'm glad I didn't drop this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
A Very Special Drama
What can I say except I am crying because this drama is over. My all time favorite drama, Hidden Love, has ALMOST and POSSIBLY been replaced with the super sweet drama. Wow, I really loved each and every episode. The "best thing" about this drama is that this kind of love is possible. It is quite rare because people don't appreciate the person they are with and love themselves enough to brave understanding their partner. It felt like their love was more equal than say the second leads where the girl's needs seemed to be first priority in her eyes. That kind of love is probably more realistic, but not what most would want after watching this drama. Sigh.......thank you for making such a heartwarming drama that I looked forward to watching each day. I will certainly watch it several more times.Was this review helpful to you?
Sigh...It's Over Already
I have enjoyed watching this drama. FL started off pretty lame, but became stronger. There is good chemistry between the leads and can't wait for Season 2 to see more. They could have taken this to 40 episodes with all the open ends left to see the outcomes that will definitely cause more problems before it gets better.Was this review helpful to you?
Gotta Love This Crew
I have read some scathing reviews on other sites which baffles me. Thank goodness this was not like Joy To Life S2 which was not to my liking. I didn't finish that drama, but I am very happy with this one. I am glad it is not exactly the same vibe as S1. It's a little darker. The tears have fallen on the last two episodes I've watched. I still have Ep. 22 to 25 to go. I am all in on this story and will hate to see it end. I wish Jianci had been in more episodes. I think brother got way obsessed and I actually found myself hating him and filled with disgust. Zhang Wan Yi is a great actor. His eyes show a lot of emotion. Everyone acted great. In a few months I will watch both seasons again.Was this review helpful to you?

Very Slow
This could have been an excellent drama had the story not been dragged out especially when they go into the painting. I like the ML and FL and their acting is good. After twice of failing to get out of the painting, third time should have been the charm. Either add more demon stories to this drama or stop at 24 episodes. I can tell that dragging the storyline will continue to happen. By Episode 21 I was fast forwarding hoping to put a stop to this scene. Nope...it's still happening through Episode 22 ending and still trapped. If no other drama is available I will watch it, but I will wait til all 40 Episodes are aired.Was this review helpful to you?
Be Prepared To Cry
One of the best dramas... unexpectedly. The ML and FL don't seem like they would gel together, but their acting skills are way more than I had hoped for. I think I have shed tears almost every episode. Misconceptions from people who are not involved with their lives also happens in real life. I think if people would just start a negative journal for commenting when they encounter posts they can't possibly understand, instead of venting on the post, life would be more peaceful for everyone. Anyway, don't pass up this drama. It is excellent.Was this review helpful to you?
