Hotel intern meets boss of the hotel

This drama does deserve to be rated that low! to be honest it was a decent watch .I really liked the first half of the story . Not a fan so much of the later 9 episodes.

Storyline: Female lead is an hotel intern/trainee. She has a three months probation, and she gets sent to different departments like the guest services, culinary etc. The male lead is the son who owns the hotel. He is sent to help out the hotel who is in trouble. The backstory is there is this mysterious lady who has been trying to buy the hotel for a low price. Through a series on incidents she tries to ruin the reputation /make the hotel close down. The story line gives a decent and fresh perspective and some of the things that they might run into while they are working in a hotel. Male lead gets attracted to female lead due to her persistent, and optimistic personality. Female lead falls in love with male lead because he is always there for her.

Romance: They're romance is acceptable, but not the best chemistry. Doesnt give me the tingly feeling in the heart. Have some cute scenes.

There is definitely focus of romance in the story , its almost the second main factor in the story. With the hotel and dealing with clients, tp dealing with the staff and hardships of the hotel being the main focus.

I didn't like the story development pass episode 15 because i felt it was developing smoothly. I mean the mysterious lady is finally revealed! and she does what she can to try to sabotage female lead and male lead relationship. At this the the female lead doesnt believe in the male lead, some riffs in their relationship...... it then becomes some hat of a roller coaster.... ups and downs but for the relationship and the hotel.

It has an happy ending, its a little too sweet and unrealistic. but overall a decent watch !!

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

A MINI DRAMA THAT IS JUST DOG BLOOD! SO BAD... PLOT DOESNT MAKE SENSE... REVENGE... GREEN TEA SECOND FEMALE LEAD.... JUST A BIG NO! even though its like 2:50 each episode long it is so badly scripted.
first of all cliche.... female lead lost her memory. She is the beloved wife of Gu Chen, who is the rich male lead. The second female lead is a green tea bitch..... trying to hurt the female lead. Like the things she does.... she could go to jail for them.... Then the story plot becomes how the female lead takes revenge of the evil bitch...

Couple cute scene with the main leads but... such a short drama... you really dont expect much.

Sorry, watched it without subs!

I felt tbis drama could of have a lot of potential. The summary sounded really good but in reality it was just lacking...
1) I thought , cool time traveling ... but the story I feel gets sucks for most of the drama and its only 24 episode..

It just mostly focused on when the male lead travel back in time to save the female lead... I didn't really feel the chemistry between the female and male lead. . ( if you want to see a school drama/ good chemistry between the lead i highly recommend the best if you in my mind) There isnt any kissing expect a peck on the cheek ( lol in last ep)

The story just felt like it was stuck on everyday school, which leaded up to the day the female lead was "supposedly going to die" . It really only picked up at the last few episodes. They make it so mysterious as how she was supposed to be dead.... The thing with her best friend traveling back in time to save her??? .....

Towards the end i was touched by what the male lead did ( wont spoil anymore )

I loved the ending song!!!

I would only watch if you have a lot of time of your hand... but i definitely would not rewatch. I almost dropped the drama because it was going too slow.....

Dang I really wanted to like this drama but this fell short for me :( When I saw the trailer for this drama I was so excited ! argh... I honestly wasnt feeling the drama or the storyline... It wasn't well developed...

Male lead is super cute btw!!He is a dragon but has been stuck for 5000 years ? and can't go back into the ocean aka his home because he doesnt have the ni ling ( or a special scale). This is because he gave it to this little girl. The little wanted to use the scale to save her village from dying. The little girl disappears and the dragon thinks the girl tricked him, thus making him not believe in love... Fast forward, he meets a girl similar to the girl from before. The female lead is a daughter of an official in the court. She is loud and proud. Turns out they are neighbors and they start to fall in love with each other, with the encounters of few evil characters . One tries to get into a marriage with the female lead but she doesnt like him. The other evil is the dragon's elder brother who tries to get the special scale for himself to get higher powers/stronger? ( i believe)

here comes the rant
1) the little girl part was like not even important ... why included it. I mean it would of been cool to include if she was her reincarnation or somehow the little girl turned out to be the female lead but it obviously wasn't because of the time frame...
2) storyline was very choppy and not developed well.. The female lead had blind hope that someone will help set her dad free from prison ?? In the town there was the case of people getting killed and stealing hearts, claiming it was an evil dragon... how did they make the connection it was the male lead who was the dragon?
3) honestly did not understand why the dragon's evil brother had to hire the human ( who's evil) to try to set up his brother? The evil people who did evil things was actually pretty successful... I mean if you want the special scale, you can just killed the female lead? why go through so much to frame the male lead when he doesnt even have the special scale anymore...
4) romance was not very believe able, did not have much chemistry. Dont get me wrong the male lead is good looking but the chemistry between the leads was just lacking... although they did have this one cute moment of kissing ( pretty passionate) and then they went underseas....
5) towards the end it got so messy... like cramming in a lot.. It should of ended at like 21 ep, then it just dragged. She sacrificed for him to get back into the water... Male lead tries to do something to save her...

I liked the music though!!! very nice. sad that 24 episodes did not meet my standard :(

Two cities rivals fall in love

This drama is about three cities and their city king. Ye Zhao Nan ( the female lead ) is disguise as a boy from birth. The male lead is the opposing city king ( who supposedly hates Ye Zhao nan). During one hunting experience, Ye Zhao nan fakes that she is getting assassinated and meets the male lead. The female lead buts her in the process of being saved and forgets her identity and as Ye Zhao Nan. She meets the three people " who claim to be her father and two brothers. These three are a spy and want to kill the city king aka male lead. SO they make up a story and lie to the female lead, even giving her a new name.

The first half of the drama was nicely done, funny, witty, light hearted, but the second half was so boring I practically skipped everything.

The leads have incredible chemistry! Love all of their scenes together, steamy scenes too.

I liked the female lead's acting because she can play this obnoxious, mean looking king pretty well. She may not be the prettiest but her acting portrays the character well.

The twin evil sister was kind of unnecessary and boring....

ONLY HERE FOR THE ROMANCE, THE REST OF THE STORY IS SKIP WORTHY!

This drama was one that I was very excited about! Such a big let down. The storyline is so SOOOOO boring! lIke nothing is interesting except the relationship of the leads! Not even Zhang Yu xi could save this!

Beside the romance there isn't captivating points. The Storyline gives a lot of attention on the side couple, too little time to the actually leads!

Xu Qing You finds out that her boyfriend of ten years cheated on her. So she turn it up at a club, there she meets the male lead who is forced to take care of her. She thought they had a one night stand. Turns out the male lead becomes her supervisor. She eventually gets back with her boyfriend. At the same time the male lead slowly begins to fall in love with her. The female lead knows that the relationship between her and the boyfriend is not the same so she decides to break up with him. Eventually she gets with the lead. ( i think they get together , way too late, more than half way of the drama)

The other parts of the story develop with the female lead's best friend and her brother who eventually become a couple. I honestly dont care for their storyline, just kinda skipped it. There are annoying characters like the spoil brat who is infatuate by the male lead , always trying to bother her. Finally when she stops, the male lead ex comes back and starts to annoy and try to seduce the male lead.

The male lead never told the female lead about his past. I think what held the story together was the female lead , who was smart and strong. I just wish they had more romantic scenes together, whether that was building the relationship ! They has pretty good chemistry. Again I could just wanted the cut and edited sweet moments between them. Its not really worth watching , unless you really have nothing to do!.

Troupe storyline with annoying side character...

First of all this is your troupe storyline where the male lead's ex gf died of heart failure. I honestly thought it was going to take the male lead a long time to love again. I'm glad it want too long , it was about ep 6 , where he realized he likes the female lead. The female lead is oozing with beautiful, gorgeousness, she literally is oozing with confidence and sexiness. All of the clothes she wears suits her so well and they make her stand out. I like the female lead because she is smart, tough and brave.

I really disliked the evil sister, annoying ex boyfriend, and betraying staff. Their actions made my blood boil and my heart racing lol. If they didnt have those scenes , this drama would off been a 8.

I like the occupation of the female lead and how she helps people to design houses. The male lead character to be honest is a little weak .. He couldnt even say what his feelings where to the female lead. His parts of the drama was actually quite boring. All of the obstacles and struggles fell to the female lead.

Also not enough romance. I feel like the leads have decent chemistry but not too many kissing scenes.

While others don't like the side character romance, i quite enjoy their storyline.

sshhh... I have a crush on you !!

This is how short dramas should be done! This drama is only 20 eps! This was very refreshing. The female lead has been in love with the male lead since high school. She even got into the same college as the male lead. The male lead recognizes her and she becomes super excited.
The female lead is cute and a little ditzy. She would often have daydreams about her and the male lead to how their relationship should develop) like pretending to kiss him in her daydream, or falling asleep on the bus so she can lean on his shoulder etc. She is often awaken by her daydream by the male lead and his friend. The leads starts off as friends, everyone else around them can tell that the female lead likes the male lead. We dont really get to know the male lead's feeling until later on, but he actually also likes her. The female lead doesnt realize it.

This drama is really light hearted and simply sweet without any annoying or evil characters. The plot is simple, their school life, classes, work etc.

The only thing i wish for more of is the romance. There is hardly any kisses, but a peck on the cheek from the female lead and one kiss at the end. They have this cute innocence chemistry between them.

You got a friend in me! Together ewe can!

I also came in with no expectations at all! This is by far the best school genre drama! Definitely a must watch!

Female lead Xu Jing Jing always has gotten the worst scores in the class, because of this she has little self esteem. However she is really good at judo/taekwondon and drawing. She has a loveable and brave personality. Male lead Kang jia wei is a obese, smart , straight A student. Xu jing Jing tries to help Kang jia wei lose weight and Kang Jia Wei helps with Xu Jing jing's test scores.
XJJ likes the straight A student Gao Zhan and kang Jia wei likes the Xu Jing JIng ( another girl in the class that isnt the female lead)

Together they grow through a lot! like losing weight, getting better scores, improving self esteem, re- establish relationships, fighting for dreams , I really like the fact that the story develops not just between the two but in their classroom. I also liked that they supported each other in their lowest times and their classmate's lowest times.

The relationship of the leads are so good! Such great chemistry. I was starting to think there would be no kissing in the drama , but im glad in happened in the end! Even thought hardly any kissing but there are still those moments of heartbreak and heart strings pulled.

So Good! pleasantly surprised by this drama

Princess and street perform identity swap and their love story?

The first three episodes were so good and promising !!!! arghh after that it was downhill. First there is not much character development, second inconsistent story line/ plot holes.

Female lead is a street performer who does the big rock against the chest! ( you use a hammer to smash the big rock on their chest) The female leads get sold into marriage to the Qing Long bandits, on the day of the wedding she tries to run away... At the same time the princess aka second female lead is about to marry the 3rd son of the Mei family. They are in the same hostel and they accidentally ended up switching rooms, resulting in the female lead street performer marrying into the Mei family, while princess will marry into the Qing long bandits.

The male lead has an undercover identity called Ye Ling Xia ( the night hero). Male lead turns into Ye Ling xia during the night to investigate his mother's death. He wants to find the culprit!

I liked that they make the male lead fall in love with the female lead almost instantly and their relationship starts out really cute even on the wrong foot. lol they have two acidentally kisses between ep 2 and 3. Afterwards it just becomes kinda dull, always them fighting arguing with one another. Female lead find outs he is Ye ling Xia pretty early on in the episodes. Ye ling xia is her idol lol! He finds out that she isnt the princess. He grows to fall in love with her but I dont like the personality of the female lead. She is simple minded and naive. She doesnt have much character growth nor development A lot she is a hinder for the male lead and often misinterprets him !

They could of develop the storyline of who was behind the male lead's mother's death could of been better. It was lacking in the cohesiveness. It didnt seem like a main focus that developed but more like boom... this is the person that was responsible for the death. Also after they have switched identities could they have done something else to help keep each other safe?

The hidden evil guy was too easy to guess who he was!

I wish they had spent more time between the leads to develop their relationship! like more sweet time together would of been nice. They make a cute couple but I dont think they have enough chemistry. Their kisses mostly are the male lead planting his lips on the female lead( female lead lacked emotions!) Really, no real kiss in the series :(.

Male lead is very good looking and female lead is very cute she reminds me of stephy tang!

Overall not my fave drama, but if you have time to kill, watch this drama!

Not your average sweet romance more family drama behind it all

Be warned! this drama is more than just the romance part of it! Romance between the leads I would give it a solid 9.5, but story wise like 7. Also the story is kinda complicated despite being a 24 ep drama. On the good side, the plot is fast pace and not draggy. Some drama I couldnt even enjoy because the good part came so far in the end. This drama sprinkle it nicely! The leads do end up kissing a lot! >_<

The story starts off well, Male lead is the second son to the Ling family. He is also adopted, but despite that his dad really loves him and basically makes him in charge of the company. He has an older brother and younger. He got into an car accident because he though the older brother sabotage him. In the process of him being hurt, he female lead accidentally runs into him with her scooter bike. She thinks he lost his memory but when in reality he was hiding from his brother. The male lead acted kinda dumb but was doing a lot of things to prepare for his comeback. The pair fall in love really quickly.

I would say that the lead's childhood is pretty trauma lol... The female lead experience the suicide of her mother, but that was too traumatizing and she forgot what happen. She ends up being afraid of the dark, She is the elder? daughter of the Gu family( which her dad never liked her because he thought female lead is not his own) The Gu dad remarried and had a daughter with the wife. The wife had a son from her previous marriage. So in the Gu family there is the elder son, female lead and the sister ( the lesser of the evils) The younger evil daughter has always been jealous of the female lead. The step mom is also an evil lady ( which is revealed later on)

For the male lead he had many traumatic experiences due to his elder brother... HIs older brother seems like a bad guy but in fact he's not the worst! There is someone far worst and I guessed right to who that person was...

The leads romance definitely was cute! It was the male lead leading all the kisses and smooches! I liked their chemistry but it wasnt as passionate. I mean the female lead Chao Lusi has pretty good chemistry will all her co stars!

DIdnt care for the side characters romance as much..... only liked her best friend bickering couple...

This drama is a rather dark drama but a decent watch !Let's just say that a mysterious bad guy reveals himself towards the end!

A forced contract marriage which blossoms into love between over bearing female ceo and cute doc

This drama was a solid one for me! definitely something that I enjoyed watching. First of all the male lead is super handsome and cute! The story was cliche but turned the other way lol

Female lead is a head strong, smart, and blunt ceo of the Lu company. She wants to keep her furniture brand " Infinity" alive. Her dad said she has to get married. She goes to the hospital and meets the male lead who is a doctor there. She sees he has a good physique, good personality. The male lead's aunt owes a lot of money to the Lu corp, so the female lead comes up with the contract marriage. Initially the male lead is very hesitant , but later he finds out he knew her from young., which changes his mind. The interesting part is the female lead initially was like the man of the relationship, being bold and making all the move., she even wanted to " make babies with him" ( lol taking the lead) She was actually very over bearing and selfish/ always lying in the male lead's eye. The male lead will not just make a baby , with out the love... They have their misunderstandings and then eventually make up and actually fall in love. The big turn in the story is when there is a person who the female lead trust a lot that betrays her. Turns out he was the boyfriend of her older sister. ( she died in a car accident when the female lead was 18) The boyfriend always felt it was the female lead's fault. At this same time the male lead has an offer to go to Germany...... To not let the workers under her lose her job and also to let the male lead go fufill his study, she leaves the company and him... Fast forwards its 6 year later. This was quite nice because it was a nice refresher..

I really really feel the tingle in my heart for their chemistry and passion. They kissed quite a lot. It was mostly the male initiating, and I aint complaining!!! He was very passionate towards her. Lol he's a good kisser. Their moments are really sweet together and esp when they have their kid. He's so cute!

I didnt care for the female's super red lips. I like her lip color after she stop working as the CEO. Her personality changed and I think she matured and became less selfish and over bearing. After the six years it was finally the male lead's turn to step up haha and be the man in the relationship

Some people were turned off by her " uncle" ( which basically she had no blood relationship too ) because he liked the female lead. I just didnt care for this character but the actor is pretty handsome( but not as handsome as the male lead)

It was cute to see the side couples get together, the second female lead and their couple, and the third female lead with male lead's doctor coworker.

Definitely would recommend!!!

Dull story about unrequited love?

If you want to know what this drama is about read the name ... literally the male lead is a wood ( which means he's kinda dull, nerdy, and boring) . This drama has barely any romance! just to warn you guys. I was not a fan of this drama.


1) male lead is boring, dull, nerdy and did not stand out too much. He was just too much of a goody two shoe. He just tried to prove himself going from the lower test score and worked his way up. He liked the female lead but was way too shy/ focused on school to even tell her.
2) Female lead didn't stand out too much. She was your average pretty girl in school, popular, class monitor, also some what smart.
3) there is a bad boy character and he likes the female lead. To me he almost felt like the male lead.... Part of the story were heavily focused on him. His character was not developed well, just portrayed as a bad boy, cutting class, always tries to "bully " the female lead to get her attention.
4) No romance... Some stories focus is not romance, this is the story. The only little romance is actually between the female lead and bad boy aka second male lead, for like couple episodes. At first everything was kinda cute then it just suddenly turned to this weird direction. Basically the bad boy didnt part from his ways of playing video games, going to play pool with strangers and then not spending time with the female lead. I hoped to like his character more but i couldn't . I thought he would be the type that has the baddie image but is a softy, but no... He does something to attract the female lead, they get together, at first he's caring but then he stops and gets back to his own world. What a ass....
5) the baddie character in the end kind of just fades away.... like where did he go ?
6) Storyline- was not developed very smooth . Good thing it was only 24 eps so i got through them. I thought the female lead would like the male lead but she doesnt... The male lead's development is lacking.

I wouldnt recommend this school drama, there are way better ones out there. If you want to watch a cute school drama watch lovely us :)

A SUPER SWEET STORY OF LOVE! BETWEEN A BUBBLY GIRL AND A QUIET BOY

ARGHHH !! I CANT GET OVER HOW CUTE, SWEET AND PURE THIS DRAMA WAS . DEFINITELY HANDS DOWN ONE OF MY FAVE DRAMAS. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS DRAMA !!! loved the male lead Nan Xi and how cute and adorable he was, loved the female lead Xia Rui for being a loud and protective person !! In my book this gets a 11 out of ten !!!

The story is about the male lead Nan Xi who has a social anxiety disorder. He never done well with crowds and thus males him a quiet and weird kid. When he was young he meets the loud and proud female lead Xia Rui, who ends up protecting him and a develop a friendship together. Nan Xi, has always been good with wood. He makes her a whale necklace, with a bell inside. Nan Xi is the whale , and she is the bell ( because the bell talks a lot) Fast forward, its his first day of his third year (?) ( i think). He transfered over to the school. Xai rui accidentally bumps into Nan xi. lol their encounter at school starts out with a lot getting hurt, bumping into each other, falling on the ground. He discovers that she has the whale necklace and makes the connection that she is his friend from when he was young.
Xia rui's personally is bubbly , loud and sweet, while Nan xi is cold, quiet and collected. Xia rui was always there to take care and protect Nan xi , and even help him overcome his social anxiety! They start doing eveything together and make a plan that they will go to the same college.

I think the story was written really well! there isnt any drag at all! The story is well rounded starts from when they were young , unitl they meet in high school and then experiencing college together and even after college life. The development of the relationship was good timing too, although it didnt have too much kissing scenes i felt it was appropriate because it was like a puppy love and kinda pure/simple like 17/18 years old, and then as they went to college more cute scenes with the addition of a kissing scene. I also like the development of the side characters , each one got their own pairings. I loved the friendship that they all had with each other. There was no evil girl characters....

Their relationship is so nature and sweet! doesnt need to much kissing, i feel like being together is enough ! i cant get over how cute Nan Xi is !!!! he just lies on her shoulder and said i need to recharge!! oh my heart!!! He is such a cute bf that you want to take care of lol. It was really sweet that they supported each other through their highs and lows. Nan xi said you are my final stop!!! which also melted my heart away !

this drama is the very few drams i would rewatch ! most drama i dont want to rewatch, but this one, i will !!!
