Pretty Much Real To Life
This is a solid drama with great actors. I have laughed, cried and felt very uncomfortable at times. The lies and omission of telling partner their real thoughts, is my discomfort. Of course, when starting a relationship, omitting certain details are allowed. I can reflect on my past and realize I took the more difficult path just because coming clean is hard to admit. I will watch this to the endWas this review helpful to you?
One Of The Best If 2024
I am all in with this drama. I see some people are disappointed because it has humor and wanted it to be dark the entire show. You HAVE to have the relief from the darkness to enjoy it when you are traveling through it. Genius director and script writer(s). Episode 9 had me so enthralled that I got irritated at my dog for wanting to go outside to relieve herself. Thankfully I can push pause and miss nothing. The title is misleading because I thought this was about vampires and almost didn't watch it. I can't rave about this drama too much. The guest actors are so great to watch. The leads and 2nd leads including the young boy, make this drama worth your time. I have laughed, I have cried and I want more episodes than just 2 per day. Don't miss this one.Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty Good Drama
My favorite actors in this drama are the Uncle and "over weight" sister, plus the cute as hell goose. They are the scene stealers every time they show up IMO. I laugh at their antics over to eat or not eat the goose. I wish their was a different FL and this would be a perfect drama. FL's acting has not improved and her monotone and baby talk words are ridiculous to listen to. I truly wish one of the hundreds of actresses that China has, a different one could have been chosen. Oh well, all the other characters are great.Was this review helpful to you?
Love This Drama
Actually ALL the characters in this drama blend together to make a very entertaining watch. The only flaw is how obscure the ML, Wang Xi Qi, is coming across. His facial expressions and his eyes do not reflect his feelings for the FL, Lu Yu Xiao. I am definitely a fan of hers. Her acting is superb, she is beautiful and the subtle expressions that run across her face are what makes her character so adorable. The second ML, Wang Hong Yi, is definitely out shining the ML. I wish that the ML and 2ML were reversed. I believe Wang Xi Qi should perhaps stick to modern dramas where is handsomeness shines brightly and his acting seems more real. I love Snow Kong's character and she is so beautiful in this drama. There are definitely funny and humorous parts that keep me watching this drama happily.Was this review helpful to you?
A Hot Mess
The drama was not what I expected. It was ok up until Episode 31 when all the bizarre killings began. I didn't get why the one male character kept blaming the sect leader about the 9 people that were killed when the drama began. After talking about the the treasure through the whole drama, there was no clear sighting of what the treasure was. It was one heck of a downer at the end. Not one person ended up together and the story flatlined.Was this review helpful to you?
A Different Drama - In A Good Way
I am enjoying this drama immensely. The humor in this pops up unexpectedly in each episode. The leads are great together and can see the CP value will increase over time. I seem to be into the second leads these days in all dramas, but they are getting more focus and exposure, thank goodness. Using just your leads to carry the drama is a mistake IMHO. Using all the cast to bring about a great drama works the best. I hope the humor continues to make me LOL in each episode. This is not a heavy drama like I was expecting. I love it so far.Was this review helpful to you?
Why From A Woman's PIV?
It actually makes all the males seem petty and old fashioned except Rose's dad. As I suddenly realized this, I felt sure the author was a woman. Yep, it is so. I love the story, but now I am even mad at Rose's brother. Rose's husband's mother was also written from a DIL POV. I think if the author had stepped back some, the story could have been stellar. I still have 14 episodes to go, and I am praying it quits being so one-sided. The early 2000's did not have the same male chauvinism as it did in the 1960's to 1970's. Surely China is not 20 to 40 years behind the times on women's roles in the family or their value to a family. But in any case, I love this drama and will gladly finish watching the 40 episodes.Added note: Lin Geng Xin is one of my faves. He is so convincing as a MCP that if he didn't have Shen Li drama under his belt, I would never watch him again. LOL, he is a great actor.

Now about Tony
I just watched this show again and now I realize how come Tony was set up to fail. Tony has probably realized about mouthing off to others in air, but....it was extraordinarily cruel for making up issues his family went through that had nothing to do with him. I'm imagining fans dug deep to come up with this BS and ruin his life. Whatever altercation him and the other contestant had was not anything to ruin Tony's life for. I hope whomever pulled this crap, have his or her life eventually feel the same pain and failure. What an immature thing to do.Was this review helpful to you?

Not A Fair Placement
I loved this reality show. I laughed and I cried. I could feel the connections between the boys and could feel they cared about each other. My gripe is going to be about Jo Minjae. He has the best singing voice of any on this show. He was never on a losing team, never got below 7th place, was a good dancer and unfortunately was the second one kicked off on the finale. If he would have been placed with the first group of boys for the finale show, he would have had a fairer shot at making the team. Two of the boys that made the team never even made it to the top 9 tier. I am very disappointed. Jo Minjae DESERVED to make the team. I was confident he would until I saw he had to be with the 2nd group. I am shaking my head at this bad decision. I pray one day soon someone will put some of the boys that didn't make it together and form their own team.Was this review helpful to you?
A Great Drama
The ML and FL already have a good chemistry in just 3 episodes. I hate that it only gives 2 new episodes a week. I am all in and looking forward to how attracted they become towards each other. I love that she has a connection with his daughter unknowingly. This will be one I can rewatch with a happy heart.Was this review helpful to you?
Microphone Mishap
This is not a terrible nor great drama. It is lower budget short story. The leads are good on CP and the rest of the crew does pretty good acting . I think someone didn't edit this film enough, or tired of editing by the 16th episode. At the 4:33 mark you will see the microphone come down over their heads. It happens again seconds later. If you have nothing else to watch you might get something from this drama. The story line is not real apparent on what is happening, but maybe that's the charm of this drama that kept me watching.Was this review helpful to you?
A Different Story...Exciting
I am loving this drama. The CP between the leads is apparent and I can't wait to see it full blown. I know they won't disappoint. The good and evil characters are all acting superbly. There hasn't been the usual over acting with this kind of story. I know the evil step-mother is about to get served what she obviously deserves. I am hoping for an unusual comeuppance whenever Karma is plated. I hope this drama stays on track and gets rave reviews.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the Best Dramad
I have watched this drama 3 times since it aired. It never fails to make me LOL and bawls my eyes out. I put it in the category of all time greatest. From the smallest and youngest actors all the way up to the eldest actors, it's just a magical piece. It's a rare episode that nothing good or bad happens. You will love it from beginning to end. It made me wish I had "brothers of another mother" in my life. You just can't go wrong watching this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
So Far So Good
I like the first episode, but I'm not sure yet about the attraction they may or may not have. The FL seems to be quite a bit older which normally doesn't bother me, but...well I will definitely watch it and pray they are believable in the romantic department. I hate the two scenarios that make me go "UGH'. I wore high heels to work for 20+ years and wore them to parties. I don't ever remember spraining my ankle, falling into anyone's arms or attaching Band-Aids to my heels. Well maybe once I did, lol. Please drama people, stop the girl from tripping and having her land in his arms. Pet peeve #2 is the guy's mom making a visit to pay off the girl to stop seeing her son. Maybe because I have never dated a super rich guy. I hope that these two typical scenarios stop here.Was this review helpful to you?
