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!!

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

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 >_<

a really assuming male lead and a really green tea beach as a second female lead

I was super disappointed in how the story unfolded. It started out pretty cute and very similar to many school romantic dramas. They turn from enemies to lovers. They are always running into each other.

Whats cute is that they develop chemistry and love through the love of solving math problems from a book they both love.

The drama falls super flat after they discover that they are each other pen pal....

THINGS THAT ANNOYED ME
- ASSUMING MALE LEAD, ARROGANT , VERY RUDE TO THE FEMALE LEAD, IT SEEMED LIKE THE FEMALE LEAD HAD TO BE THE ONE TO SAY SORRY OR MEND THE RELATIONSHIP
- ANNOYING ASS SECOND FEMALE LEAD. SHE IS GREEN TEA TO A MAX.. SHE IS SO HORRIBLE. IM GLAD SHE DIDNT GET A ROMANTIC STORY LINE BUT FELT BAD FOR THE GUY THAT LIKED HER
-SO MUCH SABOTAGING FROM THE 2ND FEMALE , IN THE MAIN COUPLE RELATIONSHIP
-THE MALE LEAD HAVING TRAUMA , BUT EVERYTIME IT WOULD GET BROUGHT UP HE BECOMES SUPER MAD AT THE FEMALE LEAD AND DIDNT APOLOGIZE!

The leads have no chemistry whatsoever, there was only everso slightly in the beginning stage

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...

Even when you switched your face I will recognize you !

CAME IN WITH NO EXPECTATION ! sLOVED EVERY BIT!!!
YA'LL THIS IS A HELLA GOOD DRAMA! A 100/10! a must watch! thrilling yet romantic!

The female lead is a painter who helps the people in the brothel to paint their pictures. One day she is told to paint a promiscuous picture of the second female lead aka evil lady and the prince having sex....She gets drugged and wakes up with evil lady's face. Evil lady also is holding her older sister hostage. Evil lady commands the female lead to find an item that belonged to the previous prince who died. Also the evil lady was engaged to the male lead, the general. So now the female lead has the evil lady' s face and becomes the general's wife.

What I like
-The male lead is cute. He plays the cold general well but when he is in love he becomes cute. He is cute when he smiles about the female lead.
-The male lead is smart and eventually figures out the identity of the female lead without her even saying.
-The general remembered that the female lead saved him and remember all the words she said. He didn't question her, just because her face is different.
-The female lead is super nice and sweet ( which contrasted the evil lady very nicely)
-They didn't give too much time to evil lady and prince
-The romance of the general and the female lead. They have some nice and steamy scenes together. They have really good chemistry. At the same the the evil lady and the evil prince have good chemistry too.
-There was also a cute daughter
-There was nothing that was draggy or too annoying of character. All of it was just right.

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....

To unravel the mystery behind the male's lead past, also a cute love story

A fairly decent watch , but I always have my doubts when a drama is 40 episodes long, it usually tends to get draggy and have plot holes ( which it did)

Storyline- The male lead is a leader of a a group of "bandits", in that town they he rules and protects the people there. It starts off with him kidnapping the female students of the well known academy in the city ( i forgot the school name) Basically all the wealthy/well known official's daughter and sons goes to that school to study. Our male lead is a genius, he is good at all things like painting, poetry, archery, chinese chess etc. He challenges the male students to an area of study they are good at in order for them to save the girls. There he meets the female lead who is the daughter of the Wen family.( an illegitimate daughter). She was the only person that didnt get saved, because it was 1 male could bring back one female who was kidnapped. They end up spending sometime together and she realizes that he isnt as bad as he seems. The " senior" brother goes back with a general and tries to save the female lead. The male leads jumps off the cliff......... Fast forward, to the setting of the school. A new schoolmate is accepted to the school because he has the talent, turns out to be the male lead. Only the female lead recognizes him. She shows him around the school. The male lead's motive for going to that academy was to figure out why someone wanted to kill him , when her was young. This caused him to miss the last time to see his dying mother. The male lead eventually becomes friends with the people that bully him. He of course slowly falls for the female lead. The female lead learns some martial arts/ qing gong from this dude ( turns out it was her mother's senior brother.

Here comes the plot holes-
if the female lead knows kung fu/ has qing gong how come she doesnt use it all the time? certain times in the drama she gets caught... but im like you know how "to fly/drift"

How they randomly save some teen, and that teen turns out to be of royal family from what looks like Korea lol ( just to stretch/ make longer this drama?)

2) I didnt like how near the end how the evil guy got the upper hand. It was quite dumb lol. Like you gonna throw the principal/ teachers into a locked room just because they believe the male lead is not a bad guy? Also the evil dude forces them to be burned alive? At this point, how come the female lead doesnt break away from the people holding her down to use her kung fu/qing gong?


Romance- they definitely were on the cute couple list, They had really cute interactions and moments. It felt like a real relationship because you can see the things they've been through. For the kisses nothing super special, mostly just pecks on the lips. Also they were not in a relationship till like half the drama( which is considered long) but i mean in a ancient drama , theres no part saying will you be my gf >_<, They liked each other pretty early on.

Characters I couldnt stand

Evil mom of the Wen family. She didnt like the female lead one bit!

Evil stupid sister. Initially she showed like she cared for her but that was all a front. She showed her true colors very soon. She was jealous of the female lead, because the person she likes , likes the female lead. Always trying to make her sister look bad/fail.

Evil senior brother- who claims he loves the female lead. He is just a whimp, who has been pushed too far by his mom. His mom gives him pressure to be the best and pursue the beset, Telling him he cant like the female lead, he should like the sister instead. All that hate , pressure and jealousy made him cray!

I give it a 7.5 because of the ridiculous plot at the end and the annoying evil characters. Those characters shouldnt get too much limelight or it becomes a nuisance to watch ! Both got what they deserved!!!!!!

This drama is very good for the most part, for so many eps. I have to say that the ending was such a let down. I will go to more details about it laters.

Story: Female lead Shen Li ge is an assassin. The male lead Peng chang wang is a king of a city.( to me his identity his kind of confusing... hes not the official king yet he still has officials met with him regarding poltics etc) The female lead wants to kill Peng Chang wang , but she fails and one of her friends die. Female lead takes on her identity to become her , because her dying wish was for her to find her long lost parents. Female lead finds warmth through her new family. At the same time the " younger daughter" who isnt blood related ( not 100% is whether she isnt/or not) gets jealous for all the attention Shen li ge gets. The person that killed her friend aka evil dude is named Lu Yuan. Shen Li ge is trying to do everything she can to get him to face the punishment he deserves, and at the same time the King ( peng chang wang ) is also trying to collect the evidence of all the evil of Lu Yuan. so the female and male lead becomes friends without knowing each other identity. Shen Li ge ends up marrying the king , and she changes the way she views of him.

one big main focus is encounters with Lu Yuan, trying to collect his evidence. Shen Li ge is so bad ass , I love her. There are many fighting scenes with her and Lu Yuan. She is a true heroine. I love her character. The king is also really kind, smart. He loves Shen Li ge a lot. Second focus is on war/ trying to get the government into a new system.

The actor that played Lu Yuan did a splendid job of being evil !! He was such a despicable character. On the other hand i couldn't. stand the evil sister....

There were also some super super heart wrenching scenes!!! oh my gosh , my heart. Made me cry sooo much !!!

Besides the story there was always this mystery person/ character who was the mastermind behind shen li ge becoming an assassin. He was the one that manipulated and tried to control people / and he obviously didn't like the king . The story behind him was finally unfolded in the last five episodes but I felt that it was such a disappointment. the reason behind why he did all the evil control was like wth?? Also the ending was kinda rushed and was like what? why ? the whole story barely talked about the actually king king , but in the end he sends a decree .. and make that kind of a ending ( dont want to ruin too much)

For 53 episodes it was over all pretty good!
