Sweet story of childhood crush, male lead is passionately in love with FL

I am so GLAD!!! this drama did not disappoint. One of my more anticipated dramas. Super cute love story of the leads.

The female and male leads were childhood friends. The male lead was one a obese kid who got made fun of. The female lead was always there for him to protect him from being bully, and encouraging him to lose weight. He calls her female heroine. They lost contact because the female lead changed school. Every since the male lead has always long for them to finally meet again . Fast forward, they are now adults, The male lead Wen Shao Tian is a surgeon in a hospital He is especially popular with the nurses and ladies. He is a cold, strict and straightforward. Female lead is a intern in a lawyer firm but she gets set to the hospital where the male lead is at. Her job is to talk to the patients and try to reconcile them from not suing the hopsital sorry dont know the specfic term/job title) Its her first case and she head butts with the male lead doctor. They dont start off good. Soon after male lead realizes that female lead is the girl he has being longing for, thus changing his perspective/attitude towards her , like 360 degrees. He is brave to pursue his love, but is often shot down because of miscommunication and thinking someone else likes the male lead. Eventually they finally get together.

I liked this drama because its not solely just about their relationship, but also the side characters relationship develop. You see the female lead finally being able to pass her probation. You also see the struggles of being a doctor and having to deal with the patients family. How the female lead helps and support the male lead through tough times. All the side characters are really lovable!!

Their romance is really cute. The height difference between the two is extremely cute too. They make a cute couple , have the chemistry but for some reason lacked a little passion? ( might be me personally didnt have the tingly feeling when they kissed) But however I did have the tingly feelings for the second pairing. I also found them to be extremely cute!!! The female lead 's best friend is so cute, pretty, stupid and simple, She always a good support to her friend and live life simply, following after her passion. The process of seeing the second male and female lead get together was sweet, not a smooth process but eventually they did

BUT MY FAVE CHARACTER has to be the silly, and naive cousin of the female lead! aka the male lead's intern!! He is so cute ( literally) . He looks like a little sweet milk dog, who needs to be protect. His character is funny and silly. He's just to cute! it would of been cool to see him have a romantic pairing.

Also the songs for this show is on point! love them all

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.

Cute, simple , sweet puppy love!

Another school drama, this time they are in college! The male lead goes to school far away from home and meet the dong bei girl aka female lead.

This drama is a pretty good one because its focus is on two clubs! The male lead is into movie/film club, while the female lead is trying to establish an entrepreneur club. They tell their stories and encounter. These two club share the same space. Female lead does a lot of selling things on the side, from makeup to snacks even slippers. Male lead tries to create movie events to attract more people to come to the movie club.

Another theme is friendship and the bond that they have.

Romance is very little in this one, technically no kissing ) because the female lead blocks the camera's view)
The leads love is super cute and pure, very puppy dog like. The female lead is loud, and obnoxious and the male lead is more shy and collected.

Overall cute drama

Female lead takes her brother's place in a music competition because her brother hurt his foot. She always had a music dream. So she dress like a boy to take her brother's place. When she was changing, she accidentally encountered the male lead. The male lead is a senior idol/singer. He guides and trains the other members of the competition including the female lead. He slowly develops feeling for her( not knowing he is actually a girl)

The chemistry between them is soo good! they have a lot of cute, skip a heart beat scenes . Their kissing scenes are on point too.

The only really minus is the story line is kinda choppy. With a random side characters trying to blackmail the female lead about exposing her. All for her to leave the male lead and not be too close to him. Also the process of letting people know she is a girl is kinda choppy too. First its letting the company' s boss know her true identity, then her band mates and then i cant keep up lol

I still give it a 9.0 for the romance!!

cute mini drama about a voice actress and her boss

The setup of this mini drama reminded me a lot of the drama you are so sweet with eden zhao and Amy sun. This is a mini drama which means every episode is around 8 minutes. I like this drama more than You are so sweet. This drama is very cliche though... which I'm not complaining about.

The female lead , Ruan Zhi is an aspiring voice actress. She meets her ex bf at her best friend's birthday party. They two have been separated for two years, so it was awkward to see him at the party. In her company that she works in, they get a new boss, the new boss in none the other, the male lead, Qi Zhan. She thinks Qi Zhan doesnt know anything about this field and questions why he is there. Turns out he has another identity, Mr. Li Lan ( who is also a voice actor) The female lead does not know he is Mr. Li Lan. She wants to leave the company but cant because she would have to pay a huge money for breaking the contract, so instead the boss sets up a new plan for her to live stream , and if she could have one hundred thousand followers, she can be free to leave.

The main story is the leads getting back together, in the end Ruan Zhi runs into something which Qi Zhan helps to solve.

This drama is one that is pretty much drama free, no scheming, or evil beeps . Its a ease to watch. Some cute romantic scenes.

Although in some scenes , Im not sold on how the male lead acts, i'm able to get pass it :) overall a decent watch. I find the female lead resembling Jing tian. Its also funny that the male lead looks a baby/younger , but in reality is older, while the female lead looks older than she actually is >_<

Here for the leads everything else is frustrating

The leads romance really drives this drama and holds this drama down, without it it would not be worth it.

Basically a battle of the Yi family and Lu family to see who can on the top as the best estate company. I hated the Yi's grandma so much ! She is the female lead's grandma. The grandma treats the female lead her family horribly. She is willing to sacrifice her granddaughter for the Yi company. She does so much to hurt the female lead. Also the rest of the Yi family are leeches, trying to do all that they can to sabotage the Lu company. They are really horrible and dirty to try to try the Lu family. Watch this made me so made, so much dog blood.

As for the Lu family, the male lead is the adoptive son of the Lu family, The Lu company once went broke and the dad committed suicide, leaving behind the male lead's sister but she was in an accident during youth so she forgot her memory but is now the secretary of the male lead.

Female lead's best male friend is the abandon / real son of the Lu family. Of course the male best friend starts of trying to take revenge but gets melted by the female lead's kindness.

In this drama there is seriously male lead snsyndrome, where whatever evil the Yi family tries to do it doesnt hurt of phase the male lead, lol he always has the upper hand. haha how you like that lol, but except for the last incident...

The female lead is daring and brave and has wits willing to stand up for herself, she aint a dimwit or doormat.

The leads kisses are so steamy had to rewatch a couple times haha! They are seriously what made it through this drama. Too much scheming and plotting throughout , it gets really tiring...

Witty female lead and handsome male lead! a drama worthy watching!

This drama definitely surpassed my expectation! This genre is not usually what I like to watch but this was definitely a good one!
1) The storyline moved on and wasnt stuck on just one moment
2) I loved the female lead for how strong, smart and bold she was! She didnt disappoint!
3) Male lead is hot and bad ass at the same time!

Storyline- Mu Wan Qing comes back to Shanghai to give her mother a proper bury. She also comes back to find more about how her brother died. On the boat ride home she meets the male lead, and witness him killing somebody. He captures her but shortly after she escape. She comes from a wealthy family in Shanghai. While the male lead is a general who is trying to establish his army into Shanghai. The leads eventually make a deal to work together to help each other out. The female lead is the perfect match to the male lead. They first work together to solve the mystery of her elder brother's death. They finally kick out the evil step mom and daughter.
The next step of ep revolve around Tan Xuan Lin ( male lead) and trying to figure out how his father got killed. Along the way there is some miscommunications that arrises due to the evil people, but eventually they are able to overcome.

I'm extremely sad that some side characters had to died! Nooooo......

Also this drama gave some screen time to side couples. Which i didnt mind! The male lead's sister ( who is a student) likes this other general.

I'm also glad that the female lead remained intelligent throughout the whole drama! She definitely deserves an award for her role!.

The songs for this drama was good too!

Cute and sweet high school drama of a "brother"/"sister"

I couldnt believe how young the female lead was !! only 15 years old!! male lead is the lead from maiden holmes! Before the drama start I thought to myself , it would be so wrong for the leads to have a kissing scene. Good thing they didnt put any! so be warned no kissing scenes! which I am perfectly find with. Their romance is so cute, sweet and pure like a little cute milk dog.

This drama is cute because it does flashbacks of the leads when they were little kids and the encounters they had. The two little kids are seriously too cute!!I love the little girl who acts as the female lead, it portrays the female lead sunny and playful character so well!

Female lead gets another "brother" when she was young. Her father ran the male lead over and he loses part of his leg. The female lead family takes care of him and they grow up together. Female lead is a quirky, cute, playful, sunshine and likes to read manga. Male lead is super serious in his study and smart and more logical. He is popular in school due to his wits! She is not very good in her studies. She has always protected and stood up for her brother when other people make fun of her. The storyline is about her studies and encounters and the friends that she makes! The female lead relies on the male lead and vice versa.

I especially enjoyed the flashbacks as a child super cute!

Super simple and cute puppy dog love story along with friendships!

The life of Miss ShiYi : Marriage, love, obstacles, hardships and pursuing dreams

FINALLY A GOOD DRAMA. Even if its 45 episodes long , all of it was really enjoyable. I have to give credit to the male and female leads! Wallace Chung and Seven Tan ( love them both), great storyline. This was on drama that didnt drag or have unnecessary plot holes.

The main family is the Xu Family. The male lead is the marquis, holds power in the court, smart and is able to fight. Female lead is Luo Shi Yi Niang. She does not have much status because her mom was of a lower status. Shi Yi, has an arranged marriage to the Xu marquis( male lead). In the Xu family the wife is the eldest daughter of the Luo family. She is gravely ill and plans for one of her sisters to help the Lup family status after she dies.

The Xu family looks down on Shi Yi because of her status but that doesnt stop Shi Yi. Shi Yi is very talented in emboidery and wants to help out more women to have a job. She is faced with the conniving concubines that is jealous of her. But of course Shy Yi overcomes all of that with her wits and beauty and slowly the male lead sees how she is different.

The story is developed very nicely, where the storyline keeps running and progressing. The schemes of the evil concubine does not win ! Even though there is drama /revenge/back stabbing its dont right. The main focus is not on those which I like. Its like the female lead always prevail!!!

The music is also really good! LoveZhou Shen

The leads chemistry is so good and strong! they make such a cute couple. Also the female lead's maid and the servant of the male lead is very cute couple too !

a cute love story from when we first met, to college and then forever!!!

I am so happy that at the end of 2020 there is a good drama. I was starting to be worried because a lot of the year end dramas was a flop. This one was a great one to end the year, although I only finished on new years haha.

I really liked the overall vibe of this drama, it was short and sweet and a cute journey between the leads.

Xia Lin xi is our female lead , she is pretty, smart and has a well off background. Male lead JIang zheng Han is smart, and doesnt have such a good family background. He is always finding job to earn money for his parents. The two leads starts off with a misunderstanding. The male lead eventually becomes the female lead's tutor. He tutors her in math to prepare her for the gao kao , aka college entrance exam. As the female lead gets to know more about the male lead and why he is so uptight about his money, her perspective of him starts to change. They two slowly begin to fall for each other. They made a promise to attend the same university. Sometime happens that makes the male lead have to leave the school and didnt take the gao kao. The female lead gets mad at the male lead. Eventually they get admitted into the same university and he starts to pursue her. Not very long after they are together. The dramas talks about their years in university with a side note of them competing in programing competition. Turns out the male lead was guaranteed a spot to the university due to him winning a programming competition. It also talks about their ups and downs.

I loved the relationship between the female and male lead. They were so cute, sweet and pure. Their chemistry was so true and passion was good. It was a believeable pair and really felt like a real couple :) Their kisses were simple yet true.

However most drama there is always this triangle.. which didnt care for at all. The female lead had an elder brother figure that liked her ( no blood relation) and of course she didnt like him, But then there was a elder university sister who liked the elder university brother... They were somewhat of a nuisance. The elder university brother is played by Yuan hao ( he was the lead in Rong hua, where he was a pirate, he was hot!!!) .....but in this drama he wasnt as attractive, i almost couldnt recognize him !

The side couple was cute too!The female lead's bestie was paired with female lead's annoying cousin hehe

But was is the best school/university romance drama, nope, but it was pretty good! My fave has to be the best of you in my mind!

Anime artist pursues straight headed professor romance and other side character romance

This drama is definitely romance focused! if you like romance as the main storyline , you will like this one. I was beyond excited to see the trailer, because it had some super cute squealing romantic moments.

This drams's storyline is the female lead is a anime artist/ draws for a living. She is forced to draw anime of young fangirl romance, which she is not her strong area. She has to draw a romance anime but she doesnt have much experience. She is told she needs to find someone that will make her heart beat. Her first encounter is when the male lead's dog called qi bao runs up to her, she decides to bring him back to the owner. He dashes off back to the owner and they meet. Qi bao gets too excited and knocks them down ( he's a golden retriever), in an attempt to get up qi bao knocks them again and they kiss lol. This is the first time she feels her hear beat fast. She though she was having an heart attack ( lol she is naive) Thus beginning a series of trying to pursue the professor. She even becomes his assistant. The male lead is a stone cold, super smart, blunt architect/professor. He doesnt even remember the names of his assistants and they dont go longer for more than a week. The female lead is a quirky, cute, pretty straight forward person. She does all she can to have the professor remember her name. All this time she is pursuing the male lead she is trying to get more material for drawing her anime novel and then eventually actually falls in love with him. Later she even becomes his assistant/ help take care of his house/him.

The male lead and his younger brother are on bad terms, There is a room in the male lead's house that the female lead cannot go to. There is a person who he misses, turns out its the brother. They had a very bad argument and he decided to run away. Coincidentally the younger brother is talented in drawing the anime that young teens/ girls likes. They end up living in the same house. He helps her draw and becomes her assistant.

The main lead's pairing is super cute. Lol i love it when she day dreams. That part of when she was under the desk of the professor , such a sweet moment. They are a cute couple and have good chemistry. I dont mind me a over bearing ceo >_<. But the female lead was kinda annoying in the sense that he didnt trust that the male lead would like her, like she wasnt fit or matched for him. To be she had a low self esteem. I mean he already told you he loves you!! Just believe it.

To me there is not much plot development because its mostly focused on romance... There is also two side line characters who get their respective romances. The male lead's younger brother and the older lady who is famous anime novelist. The other is the cousin of the male lead ( who's like 20 years old and the male lead's friend. I have to say the friend is like 10 + years older than her.

Honestly was not a fan of the older lady and the younger brother. I mean she isnt that old but I didnt like her initially because she stole the rights of the first anime novel that the female lead drew, which in turn made the older lady famous and not giving any credit to the female lead. ( later on turns out there was some confusion/miscommunication) After that cleared up i liked her character more. The brother went from liking the female lead to the older lady kinda a little to fast?

Like another review said, the good parts were done/finished up a little too soon. I felt it kinda draggy towards like ep 18 ? Then it just went in the direction of the side characters romance.... Maybe because it all turned out to smooth. I mean professor didnt get mad at her for not telling him the real reason why she was with him.....Ummm female lead is to easily strayed /tricked by the supposedly fiancee of the male lead. She then becomes untrusting of him...

But besides that its a cute watch and if you are a romantic then this is a good watch for you.

Watch this whole drama seemed like i watched 60 episodes lol... this type of drama honestly isnt me cup of tea.. Very strong on politics and power

The Xiao family has three daughters, the Xiao father is a chancellor to the Liao king. The current Liao king is violent and always thinks people are trying to kill him. He killed the previous king? and now the two princes have grown up. Ming yi ( the second male lead) wants to upthrone the currrent kind, but he is weak/sick. He has his good friend/brother Han de rang and his father help him out. The female lead is the third daughter of Xiao and is in love with Han de Rang, their love doesnt last too long before the prince takes a liking for himself. He does what he can to make the female lead his empress, eventually even queen. But with him his body is deteriorating because he has a sickness, so she trains the Queen to help him rule/reign/ maintain the court. the female lead is very smart and is able to do so.

Female lead played by Tang Yan - sassy, loveable, smart, impulsive, but had to take on a greater responsibility when she married the king. Kinda felt sorry for her character because she couldnt be with her loved one and had to take on for the country of Liao . Eventually she became queen , but she lost all her freedom which she wanted from her youth :( And had to be a bird stuck in a cage.
Male lead played by Shawn Dou, is a general, who is brave, loyal , faithful ,kind. He was loyal to the prince who turned king. He is faithful and loyal to the queen aka his lover from when he was young. To me one of the better characters in the story.
King- an sick ( literally) ass. He claims to be in love with the female lead, and every betrays and uses his power to get the female lead to marry him. Also later on he fathers a child with another woman, and not even telling the queen at all ? Like seriously want to punch him.

Eldest sister of the Xiao- she is very faithful and will stand up for her sisters. She only wanted to be love and have freedom. her husband dies and her lover dies, so sad on her part... sighs

Eldest sister husband- aka Tai ping wang was the brother of the current Liao. He supported his brother and even tried to fight back , when his brother died. He died trying to over throw but wasnt successful. He wanted the power too..

2nd sister of the Xiao- likes the evil guy who was initially using her but then he actually fell in love with her. She is easily swayed by smooth words.

2nd sister husband- was also thirsty for the throne and tried many times to , but failed. sad that his son died with him....
