Joyce Chan

To be quite honest this drama was quite risky for being a re make of fated to love you.( which one hugely successful at that time) I loved the fated to love you with joe chen and Ethan ruan. Did You are my destiny hold up ? kinda.... To be honest a lot of the parts was too similar to the original and felt like 36 episodes was a drag. Some spoilers moments ep 24 is when she loses her baby. Ep 30 at the end has a steamy kiss scene.
1) chemistry between the leads is beyond good!!! ( because they've been is like 3 other dramas together) hence their kissing scenes are on point and steamy :) hehe
2) storyline is basically exactly the same but they changed certain names , honestly not too many surprises.... kinda bored by that....
3) i was already expecting them to lose fall in love and lose their child , so I was anticipating that part to come faster ( lol no offense)
4) the sad part got my eyes balling tho
5) Lets talk about the l,ast 6 episodes, a total waste of time. It could of ended in like 2 , dont need 6. i tottaly i totally lost interest and did care about their kissing.... I felt it was really draggy of ... you hurt me and make me lose my child, but i still love you, but we cant be together because we cant get pass the barrier of my dead baby, then some hope comes it ( lol they kiss) , then it goes back to we cant and shouldnt , just hurts too much, I'm going to pretend to be in love with the guy who has always been my support, finally at last they fall in love again when she realizes the person who bought her art is him...


Overall its a decent watch , but definitely not my fave...

when a bad character ruins it all

To be honest I had high expectations for this drama! started out strong and then went flat really fast. I like the parts of the fighting but not the politics and all the scheming.

Male lead is the third son, not highly looked at due to his mother being a lowly servant. He is a general and has his own clan/army. He fights and try to establish/regain cities. He meets the female lead who is a bad ass assistant general to the Cui Army. She has the wits and the brain, her character definitely carried throughout the drama.

Its your typical drama about fighting and re-conquering the cities so that they are under control. There is also annoying royal palace schemes, like the brothers hating the male lead and trying to fight for the throne. Of course the king is stupid and useless, his character is a waste of time lol

One of the most annoying characters came from the Cui army. He was the god son, which the outside world knew as the Cui's son. The Cui army is very strong, they didnt want others to find out that they actually had a daughter so they used the godson to fake the Cui's having a son. The female lead is the daughter. But basically the fake son is obsess with the female lead and wants to marry her at all cost, even if it means to betray the Cui's. His part took so much time and so not needed.

Romance... what do i say... The leads dont have any chemistry. Sure they might be cute together but their kissing scenes lack a little chemistry. They actually have quite a few kissing scenes but not which gave me the tingle in my heart. Its mostly the female lead initiating the kiss lol

I felt like they could of stuck it at 30 episodes and it would of been decent... I prefer the drama with bailu, Kunning palace a lot better.

Dont lie in your relationship !!

This drama first half was good and then towards the end such a let down.

The female lead lives in a placed called Tao hua Wu , a place that is hidden from the rest of the world. Tao hua Wu is secluded because there is said to be a fountain of youth there. A rule of Tao hua Wu, outsiders who intrude the land needs to be killed. Somehow the male lead intrudes into the land on the female lead's ceremony to become the protector of tao hua wu.

The female lead doesnt want to kill him and often many times save male lead from being attacked and killed. They eventually fall in love. He falls in love with her simplicity, innocence , kindness and bravery. However the male lead must go back to the place he lives because he is judge. He tries to find out how to leave this place and even draws the map of how the water flows, eventually the male lead's servant finds him.They find the key to leave Tao Hua Wu and its the night of their wedding.

So basically this relationship started off by the male lead not telling the truth about this identity. When the female lead asked if he wanted to leave he didnt tell the truth. When he finally gets out, the female lead goes out to find him. Afterwards, yet again choose not to tell his love one ( the female lead ) the truth about whats he doing, this gets the female lead mad and angry again.

Like if you like someone please communicate no matter how hard it is, dont hide from them please. This is what made this drama so bad...He hid everything from her and didnt explain, which caused miscommunications .

There is an evil character who was interested in the fountain of youth... then the male lead's mom trying to help the evil character... but the evil character was the one who killed male lead's father... so i dont really understand? lol at the end The son and mom both stab the evil guy to death...

female chef meets doctor and their story

There is no synopsis, but i believe the female lead comes from the future and she knows how to cook. She stands up to her annoying relatives and starts making a name for herself. She comes up with food that people havent had yet like crawfish, chicken wings fries . The first scene is the female and male lead are " caught" waking up together by the female lead's relative.
The male lead is a skilled doctor, who's dad use to serve for the king but due to some people's schemes his dad dies. He is on the quest to clear his dad's name. The female lead is bold, loud , proud and quirky. She gets bullied and a lot of hate because she is so successful.

The leads have chemistry but there is barely any romance. Like maybe 2 kisses in all 24 ep, but this is a mini drama... There was a lot of flirting but thats it lol.

slightly cliche story but still enjoyable. Female lead is successsful , people are jealous, they try to sabotage her, on repeat with the male lead saving our female lead.

Cooking competition that heals past scars!

I came in with little to no expectation to this drama and didn't know what to expect! It was a pretty solid drama .

The male lead is a superb chef but he is really cocky. He lost a cooking competition and became depressed. He has a nephew that makes shao bing ( a chinese fried bread). The nephew is the owner of the shao bing store. Female lead is a french pastry chef, she came back to Su zhou due to someone stealing her idea of a pastry. The female and male lead's pass cross as the Shao bing store gets rented to the female lead. The third male lead in the drama comes from a wealthy family and is trying to wind back his ex gf. Together, the male lead and female lead , nephew and the rich guys creates a team to compete in making dian xin ( small bites )

The drama is interesting because it touches on the four characters lives and their past, through creating and making food it helps heal their past scars and resolve past miscommunication.

I really liked the chemistry between all the , the friendship.

I liked that all the leads found their respected other half. Although it was not heavily focused on romance , it was just a little to get you through. lol wish there was more. The male and female lead was very late in the drama before they had their first kiss.

I must say Wang Yan Ling ( male actor) did a superb job in leading this role! He is funny and smart but also very emotional and sometimes rough but he brings it! The female lead is more tomboyish....

Superidol meets reporter and their soul swapping romance!

This drama is the best summer drama so far! hands down! I was so surprised by this drama. Although the background/story is kinda cliche.: Male lead is a celebrity and female lead is a reporter and they end up swapping souls... The script is written very well, comedic yet refreshing not annoying to watch.

Male lead is a famous idol in a boy band, however he is a man of few words because of his broken family, Female lead is reporter and has a blog that does reports/story of celebrities. They both have the same birthday so she decides to pretend she is his fan to get more information about him, to get more readers. There was suppose to be a dinner fan date but that canceled because the male lead knew that she was just a fake fan. They meet again on an elevator and there was mishap which caused their souls to switch, resulting in hilarious encounters! through their soul swap the female lead helps him become a sunnier person and helping him with his dad's family relationship and mom's relationship. They eventually fall in love.

This drama is definitely a sweet sweet one! they kiss so many times! their passion and chemistry is amazing! I love the actress liang jie but didnt know Steven Zhang was such a good actor! omg I loved them together! it was funny and sweet!

Can we please talk about the ost! that Liang JIe sang? Omg so good! its on loop right now!

A soul swapping drama done right!

Female lead who gets into the math department and meets the math spirit/god?

This is a mini drama! 11 mins long for 18 episodes. Can't say its my favorite drama and cant say i hate it. I'm on the fence. Some parts are just kinda weird.

Ye An An use to major in Chinese but somehow gets into the math department( i forgot if it explains why ...) Basically she is a noob when it comes to math. She goes to school on the first day and meets the girl with the highest math score. Ye an an makes a bet with the smartest in her class, that she could catch up to her. She tries to study on her own but its too hard. She cries if there are any math god/spirit to please come to her aid! lol lo and behold there comes the male lead. HIs name sounds just like how you would say math in Chinese. (lol) He is the math spirit who tutors her, ( more like trains her physically and has her copy things like 100 times to get her to have a better math foundation). During this process she falls in love with him.

Female lead kinda looks/reminds me of Selina Ren's sister. Not a fan of how the male lead is dressed and looks >_

Overall cute love story which got sorting boring at the end :(

WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK LOL ! SPOILER ALERT

I was super intrigued by the preview of this drama and had high expectations for this drama. This drama for the first half was good but then afterwards became less interesting to me. ( get in some details later)

The basic of the story is that the male lead is a ceo of a jewelry company. One car accident leaves him with some memory/brain damage. He some how thinks he is a prince/king from the ancient times. So his uncle sets up a palace that looks like the old days, hoping a psychologist that they hire can heal him. This psychologist is none other than our female lead, whose name is Luo Kai Huai. She is a psychologist, but has run into money issue, so she takes on this case. She acts as the maid and serves the king, trying to get closer to him. Eventually their relationship blossoms. She is trying t slowly introduce himself to the new and modern world, first to the ideal of a cell phone. Slowly they take him to the outside world. Luo Kuai huai dreams dreams about her pass life and a prince. In that dream she is a doctor who heals the prince , who knowing that he is the prince. She gets more vivid dreams when she gets closer to the male lead , while interacting with him in the modern day built palace.

So technically there are two similar stories going on 1) modern ancient day 2) dream ancient day

The first part of the story was done so beautifully! it kinda reminded me of someday or one day/ inception.... Then they have to ruin it by saying that he was just acting this whole time! he didnt lose his mind.

The female lead fell in love with him and as a psychologist you cannot do that! you cant fall in love with the patient. She was going to use all her time and love to cure him, but he used it to trick her. Obviously you knew that there would be some heartbreak!

The story's interest quickly dropped from that point after... Plus the female lead had a trauma experience which haunted her and finally found out/solved in the end ,but that wasnt really fascinating enough. And it became obvious that of course the male lead would try to pursue the female lead again ..

All my emotion and feelings was for when they were still in the palace. It was just so sweet and cute and filled with love. The lead's kiss was more passionate during those moments. My heart strings were pulled and tingled, but that feeling went away after going back to reality.... When they came back to real life, their kissing scenes just lacked something..

To be honest the second pairing had better overall chemistry! I think its because the second lead ( which is the secretary of the male lead) had a smoother relationship. They initially were the bickering couple who finally got together, not too much was between them. I sometimes found the secretary, when he is dressed in modern clothing to be hotter than the male lead lol! he is too good looking, some of the spotlight definitely went to him. But its funny how in the palace times I didnt not find him attractive >_< Not to mention second lead kissing were really spot on.
With the lead pairing, i felt it was more of the male lead who was displaying the passion and that drive to kiss , if that make sense... ( female lead is too gentle ?)

Lastly, I feel so bad for the uncle of the male lead. The uncle is not too old...... He's the definition of second lead syndrome. HE was such. a nice guy, even though his face makes him look evil ! Im so glad he wasn't evil.

The songs in this drama are really good! Overall, could of done better on the transition with the story of realizing the lie to going back into the modern world!

Straightheaded male lead falls for the cute and persisted minded female lead.

With this drama being 24 episodes long, i would expect the cute scenes to come slightly earlier. This was a slight disappointment because they official got together so late, like finally at ep 16 ? Like what was happening during the first 16 episode? I mean it was kinda due to the male lead's character being kinda blockish , and straight forward. I think it started strong, where it had the potential, because the first scene was a cute encounter between the female and male lead.

The female lead actress is short is stature, which makes her cute)( although many people dont like the actress) anyways.... She bumps into the male lead ( literally) and falls into the river on her first day of school. She wanted to transfer to another major. She is saved by the second male lead ( who turns out to be her childhood friend, which she doesnt find out till later). She basically missed the chance to take the transfer test and gets stuck into the sculpting class/major. I forgot to add that she knocked down the male lead's sculpture. They are now in the same class.
Male lead is a straight forward, cool, wooden character. He's good at sculpting. Through various encounters the male lead starts to crush on the female lead. During the first 16 episode, he likes her but doesn't staight up say he likes her. On many accounts his dorm mates ask him to take the initiative. The female lead also has a good friendship between the second male lead.

The sweet part comes from their kiss and finally them being together. Those scenes are especially cute. I feel like the drama now just pack it all the end , all the sweet and romantic scenes. This drama , they shot their kissing scenes a little different, they dont show them full on kissing , but dont directly film it, so its moree mysterious lol ? Another thing thats really cute is their height difference. But overall their romantic scenes were super cute, like them dressing up in japanese kimono and dating :)

I dont think they developed the story particularly well. If you asked me there isnt a heavy focus on their sculpting class. The last bit focused on trying to save their major and not let them close out on the sculpting class. I didnt like the girl who had a crush on the male lead. She acted like she was weak and pathetic to get the attention of the male lead and also the female lead. She tried to to be friends with the female lead.... She was literally in almost all the scenes of when the female lead and male lead were together, like seeing them together and then you see her sad face .... lol . I was like , why are you everywhere they are???

Only here for the lead, can skip the rest haha

Only here for the leads!

Storyline; Twins sisters Tao xiao ting and tao xiao di make their way to Shen Zhen. Older sister Tiao xiao di is materialistic and thinks that having a pretty face will get you anything. So she decides to get plastic surgery to become more attractive to meet those rich second generation. She even changes her name to Tao fei er. Her younger sister on the other hand is hardworking and not afraid to do the hard work. The male lead is an elder gentlemen who becomes the ceo of On nuo company. The previous ceo was his buddy and passed away due to heart failure, but he had an extra marital affair. The video of the evidence was in a usb and somehow the usb gets picked up by female lead. This starts their super cute and hilarious encounter. The male lead acts like a blacklist motorcycle driver who's from hong kong. His accent is so funny ( coming from a person who understand canto :)
He is basically there for the female lead when she runs into trouble, and supports the female lead in her lowest points. The female lead's true ,genuine , simple, persistent attitude slowly attracts him. He begins to want to tell her the truth.

The other ongoing story is the twin sister who got plastic surgery . You honestly could skip her parts because she is manipulative, selfish and takes advantage of her sister. She basically lies her way through trying to be with On nuo company's younger ceo. Also that young ceo is also annoying character. His character likes the female lead and consistently annoys her... but of course the female lead does not like him. The twin sister basically though she can use her beauty to get everything.

I loved the story between the lead. The male lead is not your average xiao xian rou or super good looking, but I really liked him( haha maybe because I'm getting old) He had a great maturity to him! He was also very supportive of the female lead. The two's relationship is very sweet and natural not cringey at all .I liked that you were able to witness the female lead's growth and struggles. It's a good balance between romance and work life, but honestly would be better with out the twin sister. Also another annoying part was the evil dude in the company, Doing a lot to sabotage the company... He was pretty successful and almost like a main character. I could care less about the company rival and drama inside.....

Love Janice Wu

deja vu like 3 times ?

This drama wasn't a bad watch but the story line frustrates me!!!
1) its only 20 episodes but their romantic development doesnt start till like 12 episodes in ? ugggh?? lol it all the sweet stuff in the last like 5 episode
2) development of the story had loopholes lol I mean because this story is about them falling into a loophole/comet which transfers them back to the moment they met . Basically the female lead is a youtuber/vlogger/does live stream for her job and she interviews under the main lead's company. They start off on a bad foot, and due to the male lead saving the female lead from drowning they enter a loophole/comet of some sort that brings them back to the moment of the interview.... Thus the male lead wants nothing to deal with female lead/ tries to avoid the female lead as much as possible. of course you know he cant really hide it , slowly but surely they develop feelings for each other... All at the same time male lead company, someone is up to no good trying to bring him down/ cause danger to him. It turns out they are also after the female lead for having a very important usb that the evil dude wants. So the evil dude sends people to go after the leads. Eventually they fall into danger and ends up in deja vu / comet so they are once again back to the same first scene. This time again only the male lead remembers, so he actively pursues the female who is slightly hesitant..
Romantic scenes are super cute and sweet. I really admired Zhang yu Jian 's kissing scenes because its believable and passionate and not stiff. lol i guess he has softer/flexible lips >_< dont call me a perv lol. but i find a lot of male leads kissing to be very stiff or just a peck with no emotions. For the female lead she is younger so i dont really feel the connection as much...

Zhang Yu jian ( male lead ) acting is what kept me through this drama. He is super cute when he overly reacts. Like reacting to running into the female lead. Lol his hair is parted really cute and dorky in this drama. The female lead at times seems kinda kiddish and annoying , she's more whiny sounding.

Overall, this drama would of been better if they used only 2 times having deja vu/comet/loop hole. and the romantic development is way to slow... but still it was a ok watch .... just a tad disappointed...

i forgot to add , I COULDNT STAND HER NAILS IN THIS DRAMA. OMG SO CREEPY. ITS LONG AND WHITE. ONE SCENE YOU COULD ALMOST SEE RIGHT THROUGH THEM LOL

A hot mess of finding my dragon body parts!

DON'T TRUST THE OTHER PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA OF 2023. THIS DRAMA IS FAR FROM IT... Had high expectations due to reading the reviews from others. This drama started good but lost me during half of it.

Like the storyline was for the male lead to find his missing body parts that the cruel ex lover scattered all over the world. The female lead got the protection scale which became her heart. She and male lead are destiny to be together. They go on a journey to find the remain parts of the male lead dragon body.

If they just focused on that part it might of been interesting , but adding too much on the sidelines really confused me. Like the male lead took his revenge pretty early on in the drama. i watched to 29 ep and still they only have found his leg, and his teeth aka sword? too slow...

Plus the leads get together really late. The male lead is just too afraid of getting hurt again... Poor female lead.

The female lead is pretty hilarious in the fact that she is really bold and not afraid of others.She stands up for the truth and for people/demons who are weaker than her. She also loves punching people.

Lies get you different boyfriend?

To be honest I like the female lead but this drama was such a major flop! The concept of this drama was kinds cute.. until the boyfriend turned full on psycho and abusive.. hell no.

The female lead is a designer at a jewelry company, she is often looked down on and bullied by her co worker. She gets invited to a co worker bday party just to announce, that the annoying co worker has become the official designer instead of the female lead. She lies about being unwell and said her boyfriend is here to pick her up.
( backstory) - she gets a random bracelet from this homeless looking dude.. and basically her lies will come true...

So she lied about her boyfriend and he came to be. Once she used one lie, her bracelet's bead turns black, She has to make the male lead fall in love with her before she uses all her beads of lies.

Whats annoying is she wishes for different types of boyfriends but its not very obvious she wishes for them ( many i missed those parts because i skipped parts of the drama)

Im just like what the heck how can she likes these dudes.... first personality is the overbearing ceo, doesnt want her to do anything but be with him. Second is the milk dog, very sweet but too immature and clingy, third one is the absolute worse, he is a compulsive psycho , who's good at being romance but super controlling and becomes abusive...
Then all of a sudden the next bf personality forgets her...

This mini drama is trying to do too much.. A no for me. They barely have any chemistry because its a constant change or bf personality. Like the male lead has a good figure..... such a waste.

Who is the best in plotting ?

Why all the negative comments I quite like this drama!
I know is kinda cliche with the face swap revenge story but this one was better than modern day drama perfect her. 24 episode was perfect, any more and it would been draggy.

First of all smart and witty female lead ( even despite many times of getting betrayed and step up by her evil family members she remains on top and not affected )
Male lead is also really smart, pays attention to detail , brave and caring
SML - a really caring and kind brother

I really cant stand the evil people but they portrayed it pretty well. The daughter that no ones looks up on is the most craziest and twisted. They each got what they deserved.

Also the annoying prince trying to find the hidden treasure. He is horrible and truly cold blooded.

The leads relationship is cute , but the kisses still lack a lil something something.

Stone cold ML meets quirky FL and their story about restoring art pieces!

Didnt know what to expect when i got into this drama, but this was soooo good! Finally a good drama to end 2022 lol .

Female lead dreams to one day become an art restoration person. Her hobby and side jobs includes recreating the old art pieces and drawings. The male lead personality is stone cold, and is good at restoring the ancient art drawings/pieces. Their paths cross because of a fake painting . The male lead is also really famous online for doing live streams of restoring art pieces., but he has never shown his face only his hands. After their "fake" art piece, the female lead wants to become the apprentice of the male lead but the male lead initially was hesitant. They grow through a lot of things together and this bond makes them closer and fall in love.

This is my first drama of this type of genre. I found it refreshing and interesting, getting to learn some history too.

The leads actually had a really cute relationship, totally full of chemistry. I find it quite surprising because in real life the male lead is 14 years older than the female lead. I thought they wouldn't have any kissing scenes, but they did. Even though its not much but I really liked their cute and genuine relationship. ( wish there was more lol)

I watched it without subs
