Your typical cliche drama of a contract marriage...

This drama's genre is marriage contract, so you know that more or less there will be a similar storyline. It's a pretty cliche drama overall, from the start of not liking each other to the forced contract marriage, aka female lead is in need of money moving in together, slowly liking each other, finally together, bumps in the relationship, plus 2nd female lead liking male lead, sabotage, company fail, break up and finally get back together! This is basically the drama in a nutshell.

Was there something special ? Yes and no... I felt like in this drama they had very cute and sweet moments.Definitely many accident kissings/pecks of the lips. 2 to be exact but then it goes for a long time before they kiss again. Their relationship is pretty cute and full of fuzzy heart beating moments.

However they really lacked the communication! like the reason they broke up was due to the male lead not having enough time to spend with the female lead, but in reality the male lead 's company was on the verge of going bankrupt/lose all of their investors. She is more of a simple head, naive girl, while the male lead is more complex. Their way to express love is also very different. The male lead gets me mad for not having enough balls to say I love you to the female lead. Lol the female lead said I love you to the male lead while she was drunk. Also the male lead is so freaking dull when it comes to relationships haha. Like very straight headed and one minded haha, making the female lead mad all the time.

I initially liked the female lead portrayal, she is very clever in making money, she is bold and a talented anime artist, but her character doesnt have too much growth. The storyline is more focused on their relationship and the relationship between her best friend and her older brother. The episodes become more of a back and forth bickering, and at some points got pretty boring. I would say that 30 episodes is too much... 24 would of been better.

Also Im not that fondle of 2nd lead being a green tea.... ( that means in front of the male lead she's all innocent but to the female lead she does stuff to sabotage and make the female lead look bad. And or course the 2nd female has to be in the male lead's company and is basically the male lead's right hand man.

I liked the music! but overall not that bad of a drama but not that good. It's still a decent watch.

This drama was a good watch. I can't say Yu Meng Long did a great job, lol he is still pretty much stone faced in this one too. ( that's his character lol ) . It ws worth watching for the female lead actress Xing fei.

Female lead- is the daughter of the Zhan family. She wants to explore the world of wu lin and makes her journey to be make Wu lin righteous again. She meets the male lead who is the most handsome guy in the region/area. They form a friendship. I like the female lead because she is quirky, kind, adventurous. Male lead's character is smart, collective, calm and cold. His personality is kinda boring because he doesn't have any martial arts ability, due to him having this sickness.

The story starts with the female lead falling in love with the second male lead. Because they both have martial art abilities. He is able to save her time and time again, when they are faced with danger and trying to find the Wu lin master badge. Initially i though i got the wrong male lead lol but later on there are rifts between the female and second male lead's relationship( which i can say is pretty cliche) All at the same the the male lead played by Yu meng long has developed a crush for the female lead but never said it out loud because of his sickness/ being poisoned. When ever he gets too emotional the poison in his system will triggers him to cough/ heart hurts. If that happens too much he will eventually die. In the mean time evil people are after the Zhan family because they hold the manuscript to the powerful martial art , called the seven swords. The evil person is trying to learn that power to become the strongest.

In a search for the the seven swords manuscript, forces the leads to jump off the cliff. At that point the female lead already had her arm/leg veins and ligament torn, which means she would be able to learn other martial arts again. They wake up to find that she has been cured and is introduced to this weird old dude. He helps them recover and completely get rids of the poison in the male lead's system. Female lead relearns the seven swords martial arts and becomes good at it. The main goal was to fight the evil dude.

This drama was martial arts focused but had cute and funny moments. Like all of the characters basically had romantic developments/ other half. The maid of the the female lead is funny. She is always so clumsy and wants to help the female lead but ends up tripping.

Romance- there is not to much chemistry between the two leads initially. When they spent more time which each other the relationship seemed more believe-able. Their kissing is not too passionate, but becomes better later on.

This was a really enjoyable drama. Its the ancient day f4 , lol but instead its 5 in a group.

The female leads disguised herself as a boy to try to find the true identity of the her best friend.

She is smart, witty and cute, she is good at cooking. The story mainly revolves around the school and overcoming obstacles, challenges and solving crimes with her 4 male friends. The male lead is depicted a cold, strict. The female lead gives him the name stinky tofu lol. The five stooges include female lead ( who disguises as a male), the male lead, a 2nd prince, one who is good at martial arts , and one who was suppose to be the female lead fiancee

I liked how the side character got plot development too. Each of them finds their love :) as for the minus .5 is that they never really solved why she was in the school in the first place. It was kind of looked over and only mentioned in the last two episodes. The female lead dead friend's identity honestly wasnt even important anymore....

But overall it was enjoyable because there were sweet scenes of love and friendship.

A confusing tale of the Gu family company...

This drama is not worth your time! First messy storyline, way too many kelefe ! Unnecessary character and development. The story got so confusing. Don't let the trial marriage trick you. Their relationship is barely there.

Basically the Gu family sends the daughter ( female lead) to go on an arranged marriage to the Wei Lei corporation Wei Lai corp belongs to the male lead's father who past away but currently the company is looked after by Uncle Jiang. Female lead's father is an asshole who will do anything to try to get Wei Lai company. He is a selfish, crazy and verbally abusive to the female lead. He gives her orders and use her to try to take control of Wei Lai company. However, she falls in love with the male lead an decides not to help her dad. Why her dad is an asshole... He left the female lead's mom and kinda put her under a ward to be monitored.

Female lead wants to take revenge for all her dad has done! The romance is quite sweet and fresh but unfortunately not enough! It focuses more on trying to acquire Wei Lai company more than anything. So many side characters get the lime light!

WAS EXPECTING MORE...

I honestly was expecting more from this drama, the named seemed interesting... This drama really has no storyline, at least not strong enough. It was so boring that I had to drop it.
Female lead is a food magazine editor and male lead is a chef/ ceo of the food magazine. The male lead is the boss of the female lead. Initially they kinda headed butts but the male lead eventually falls for her.

The male lead struggles with not being able to cook food because of a past hurt relationship with an ex.. He gets headaches when he tries. Female lead goes to a popular restaurant which the male lead is the head chef. She tries to get a spot so she can taste the chef's speciality and write a report on it.... So i dont understand why the male lead is able to make the food for her. ( she doesnt know that the male lead is the chef.

in terms of romance the second female lead gets her first kiss before the female lead, which is a no no in my book. The leads had very little chemistry, didnt feel the sizzle or the heart skip a beat.... Also this drama is lacking in romance between the leads... however this drama is probably the very few that actually start their relationship by holding hands ... haha almost all dramas start with a kiss and then confession.

There really was no main point, or plot, just the male lead's restaurant getting accused of being eating there and food poisoning. Also the female lead's personality doesnt shine much and she isnt that much of use.

This drama barely shows any delicious looking foods. I was kinda expecting that the food would heal the male lead or female lead but that was me thinking too much haha.

Skip this drama...

Slightly different opinion than the others

Maybe because I read other reviews and had higher expectations.... The drama was honestly kinda disappointing. First off all its a 24 episode drama. The relationship should happen before the midway point ep 12... but it doesnt. Its like ep. 18 and they still arent together. It's like a waste of time.

The male lead has feelings for the female lead and the female lead has feelings but they seem to keep it bottled up. Not too many scenes that make your heart skip a beat.

The female lead rents a house and the male lead is the owner. In terms of their jobs , the Female lead is an advertisement industry designer, while the male is the other party. The female lead is a rookie in her company. Her clients all seem pretty crappy.

the storyline is quite boring and the female lead's character/personality doesnt stick out too much.

I am just contemplating just dropping this drama and watch the scenes sweets on youtube.....

From princess to peasant, from playboy to CEO..

This drama has its up and down, however it got kinda boring around ep 19...

Female lead Zhen gao gui is a rich princess. She finds out that her mom has gone backrupt so she needs to find a job. She gets a job at a pr company/ marketing , doing advertisements. Male lead is forced to be CEO to take care of his brother's popcorn business. The two leads have meet prior and they become business partner. They work together to make the popcorn more popular and to sell it better.

I like the personality of the female lead. She is quirky, smart and brave. The male lead is a little more reserved but down to earth.

I didnt really like how their romance was such a slow burn... Its like... if you like her then be more bold to confess. Their relationship is too draggy. I havent gotten to their romance and I had to drop it already. I mean the drama only has 24 episode and on 19 ep still no romance..

Also they revealed some unnecessary info about the past of the male lead, which resulted in the female lead losing her dad at a young age... So he feels guilty about that... and decides to hide his feelings even longer.

I like how they work together to overcome the obstacles in their job but still even some parts where kinda slow and stagnate. Like the side character who tried to sabotage the male lead popcorn company, time and time again and the evil dude doesnt get any punishment for it.

I like the lead actress but this drama was not a good one..

murder mystery with the right amount of romance!

I had no expectation coming into this drama! was pleasantly surprised .

The female and male lead are a couple that has separated due to a misunderstanding. The male lead tries to chase down the female lead and finally finds her. The female lead is a famous author, The female lead's story ends up with someone dying in real life. The male lead is a detective trying to solve each murder mystery case.

I really like the pace of the stories and how the murder mystery unfolded, up until the last moment couldnt guess who was the culprit.

I loved the relationship of the leads. They have a cute and full of chemistry relationship . I actually liked the 2nd couple more lol maybe because I like the 2nd male lead, he is a constable and he is hot lol! They 2nd lead relationship is also very cute and sweet. Im usually rooting for the lead couple but i fell in love with the second couple. The second lead female is a coroner, who happens to be the cousin of the male lead. She is brave, quirky and fierce.

Along the way there forms a third couple lol...

Who's the magician ?

I must say came in with zero expectation of this drama and finished with 100%. This is a such a rare drama because its a short drama. Each episode literally gets you sitting on the edge.

Plot; The cruise ship Ji Le hao is where it takes place. The back story is that evil guy commander raided a wealthy family and it is said that a camera films holds the location of were all the wealth is stored. The evil commander guy's subordinate all start to mysterious die from someone called the magician. The female lead is on the cruise ship to Nan Jiang. The female lead definitely holds the spotlight. Her identity is the fiancee of the third male lead aka one of the evil commander subordinate. The male lead is a reporter. The second male lead is police officer. A murder has occurred in the ship and they are trying to solve who is behind the murder.

The murder mystery gets more interesting as each episodes continues and it doesnt look its momentum. It literally had two major shocking points and got me shivering haha, like mind blown.

I also like how they narrate each character's story/ background. Like the female lead's financee, and other important characters on the ship., the police man, the male lead, the captain/ second captain of the ship.

Short, cute, sweet

I watched it on youtube without subs, the audio quality is not the best!
This mini drama is pretty cute! There is an AI game which requires that person who is playing to be the matchmaker. The more matches you make the higher the score. Once you are the top matchmaker you get a prized money. The female lead decides to take this game on. She is pretty much in first place, but she has a fierce competitor. So she decides to take on a hard level which is the trying to find a match for the game's creator aka male lead.

A cute love story between the leads and nothing to dramatic, very lighthearted and a good watch!

Cliche love story about a female programmer trying to chase the male lead

To be honest this drama wasn't too bad! I mean definitely it was very cliche and troupey, but at least I was able to finish it.
Female lead plays an online game and falls in love with the male lead. Male lead is super smart in programming. Their lives don't really meet until the female lead cross dresses like a guy to be in the male lead's company. He created a rule in his company where there are no female programmers. Their execution of the female lead trying to hide as a male wasn't very good. She was obviously still very cute and pretty with eyeliner and lashes. I guess that wasnt something too strong they focused on, because soon after her identity gets found out. I feel like her identity gets revealed kinda strangely....

This drama is full of cliches, like the ex of male lead coming back and wanting to be together, female lead gets pregnant and decides to leave, eventually getting back together etc...

This drama doesnt focus on programming but more with the relationships between the different characters, like the leads, the second male and female lead and female lead's best friend relationship, as well as male lead's company staff relationship. Its more romance focused.

I love Xing Zhao lin! He is so passionated with his kisses and has good chemistry with all his co stars! A personal bias of mine! I prefer him with Liang Jie !!!! Haha

This drama is a decent , while you got nothing to watch and have some time to kill. But if you can't stand cliches , you probably should skip it!

CEO who is a germaphobic who falls in love

This drama is a solid 9, would have given it a 9.5 if not for the last five episode!
Overall the drama is really interesting and loved all the pairings! There were a total of three pairs. 1) Female and male lead
2) female lead's bro and female lead's best friend 3) male lead right hand man and a famous vlogger

I usually dont like the side characters having too much screen time but the other two couples was too cute !!! The female and male lead pairing is also super cute. Male lead is an ceo of an cleaning company, he develops germophobia from a young age due to his grandfather words always saying he is dirty and pressuring him to get 100 points and be the best. Female lead comes from a poorer background, dirtyish , and works a lot of jobs to help her father out. Her mom died in an car accident a couple years back. She also has a brother who is just graduate high school.

The male lead encounters the female leads many times and she ends up landing a job as part of the cleaning crew . Initally he thinks she is lazy and has a motive towards him, but slowly he realizes that she is hardworking and very sunny. His germophobia starts to lessen towards her and he falls in love with her. The male lead is doing therapy during this time. his therapist is living next door to female lead's house. He helps her from time to time.

Why did i dock .5 away? 1) I felt like the drama was too smooth up until ep 20. After that there was a bump but that scenario wasnt clearly explained or developed. It felt all of a sudden! There was slight character development, the female lead went from just being a cleaning crew to being a manager and offering her ideas to the group. The male lead on the other hand didnt have much progress with his germophobia.

The story of the right hand man and the vlogger was cute. RIght hand man is kinda blockish but stills know how to chase after the vlogge. They have some cute scenes together.

Also the brother and best friend is cute too. Best friend is older than the brother but he still pursues her. They have some moments that make your heart stop too !

For the leads they have a good amount of kissing scenes. It's like the male lead is only immune to the female leads germs. Always wanting to kiss her. The kisses were cute and believable , not just a peck on the lips. Jasper Liu is just way too cute and good looking! I love his dimples so much!

Cute mini drama of female bandit and male master

This drama is a mini drama with 15 mins ep.. They put it all in 4 episodes for 50 minutes long.
This drama was really good. Well written and produced. Sometimes the mini drama are so low budget the production/filming is horrible. This one has a cute love story.

The female lead is a bandit an d gets caught by the Huang family. She is given the choice to marry the Huang's second son or die. In order to save her other bandit mate she marries him. The male lead is the second son of the Huang family. He is a scholar. Initially they start off with the wrong foot, but then he realizes her good characteristics.

Its a cute and sweet love story between them. Their passion and romance is believable. Even though its 4 ep, there are enough kissing scenes,

Certain characters are funny like her maid ( but actually) its a dude. Other characters are annoying tho, like the other female character, who likes the male lead. They grew up together. Even after the leads got married she tried to butt her way in the relationship....

relationship specialist found love ?

This is like a mini drama, with 12 episodes totally and like 20 minutes long. I was expecting it to be a lot better, i mean its so short that it shoulda been more packed with the cute scenes but thats not the case. I would of loved to see this developed in to 24 episodes, it was just not enough. The basic story line seems cute but in actuality quite bland.

Storyline- The male lead has been single for 6 years and wants to find someone to help him out, they find a relationship specialist who help him know more about himself. That person is the female lead. The male lead doesnt really know how to interact with females and kinda blockish and cold. Through the "therapy" , he finds himself falling in love with her.
the female lead on the other hand, isnt particularly interested in the male lead , always giving distant/being cold. She doesnt want to get into another relationship , for the fear that if it doesnt work out , she'll feel like she's a failure/worthless. The male lead still persist and they are finally together!

There are not enough sweet moments of them together. The second pairing got more time together! The female lesd was more hesitant in the relationship and i feel couple episodes was a waste of time, didnt have further plot development. They had couple of kisses but the second pairing had more chemistry.

This drama was the second drama for the two lead. Storyline had many loopholes but was a decent watch.
I really liked the actor/actress Zhang Zhe han and Ju Jing Yi . They make a very cute couple., but for their cute scenes together there is not much of and hardly any kissing scenes...

Storyline - The female lead is a cute, lovable, smart, quirky kinda girl, she is the second daughter of the Fu family. Male lead is the prince, who is good looking , loyal and a warrior. The summary talks about how the female lead gets visions /flashbacks about her future, but i felt the way it was done, didn't add any excitement to the drama, it just felt kinda odd like on the side. She didnt want to die young, and get buried alive.
The female lead has a teacher who teaches her about jewelry making, turns out the master has another identity which she uses her jewelry business to secret get info about other people and sells it, to make money? While the female lead was young she befriends An Wang, who is the male lead's uncle, but they are basically around the same age. He has a hidden resentment towards the male lead and blames the male lead for his mother's death. Thus he wants to take revenge and finds opportunities to kill the male lead. An wang isnt the only evil person. There is another prince who is evil and chimes in to get rid of the male lead. An Wang aka uncle likes the female lead, but his anger and revenge surpasses his love for her.... in the mean time her teacher dies and she tries to figure out what happened.

There were too many evil people in this drama , to a point i didnt even know who that person was lol turns out it was a prince...
The story behind An wang and his mother's death was kinda wonky... I mean you dont even tey to investigate and just blindly believe , the male lead accidentally set fire and killed yo mom ? The ending for his was the most ridiculous... He died to see his mother was still living... so pointless . He was so blinded by hate and revenge....

The story talked about both the female and male lead seeing dreams but , literally that was it. They kept it to each other and didnt even share it with each other. I though the dreams part of it would be implemented more into the drama, but felt it was separate.

Female lead and male lead relationship is cute, but i find that when something happens , she ALWAYS accuses him of being the culprit. I mean if you love him , shouldnt you trust him? why you gotta hurt my male lead ? And it always revolved around he li ( which is divorce) , They try to divorce each other like three times.... I would summarize their relationship as cute... misunderstanding,... wanting to get a divorce...... finally resolving the misunderstanding...

The female lead's sister and the general had a cuter story and cuter moments. It was really sweet and felt the chemistry. Their relationship was first bicker then slowly falling in love without any thing to hinder their relationship, just simple and sweet. While female and male pairing was also cute but not enough time together, and too many misunderstanding, and not enough passionate kisses, lol only peck on the lips.

But i loved the female lead's hairstyle and accessories she put on her head, and her makeup is absolutely on point!!!!
