The shows on my list are meant to be 10mins long per episode as it’s a “web” drama shown on Douyin or the Chinese Tiktok. The videos on Youtube under Ann Donna or Kristino Olsen 2 are the correct length.

Just finished this drama which had a great start and happy ending but the middle portion dragged a bit and was a let down. Luckily you can just play it at 1.5x and still get the gist of the story. Fluffy drama but would have preferred it if it was 24 eps instead of 36.

So sad this is still not available in the WeTv Philipp App.

This is such a good web series, similar to the Queen of attack series in premise and Zhang Miao Yi and Jin Xian Zheng has great chemistry. Even if JXZ as Qin Yun is not the most good looking Chinese ML his chemistry with ZMY as Yiyi actually makes you think that he’s one of the best ML. I also love the short format because no unnecessary side plots and characters and the story just stuck with the important points of Yiyiand Qin Yun’s characters. Also their love line has better pacing than other long dramas. I would recommend getting a WeTV VIP membership so you can binge watch all 3 seasons to complete the drama.

PS. I hope Zhang Miao Yi and Jin Xian Zheng make another drama together. Or if Don’t Spoil Me gets so popular they’ll make more seasons like what they did to Queen of Attack. Fingers crossed.

WeTV. If you have VIP membership you can also watch S2, & S3 in full.

Thanks for the reco. Will check the reviews first for Class of Lies and D.P. to see if I can add it to my growing must watch series.

PS. I hope Jun gets more of this puppy/boy next door lead characters. *Fingers crossed*

First saw Jun in this film, and I agree that I also got too caught up with his face and “actions” during the raunchy scenes that I had to rewind some scenes to check if I missed some dialogues! XD He got the puppy look perfectly. Seohyun was slightly overshadowed but she also did a great job with the sweet, earnest new dom character.

When I first heard of this flick and the rating, I was surprised that Seo Hyun took the role given our preconceived notion of what R ratings mean w/ flicks like 365, 50 shades, etc and she’s a former idol. But yes if you base it on the sexual content this is not an R film but I think just the fact that BDSM is the main topic it is automatically clumped to the R group. Personally this should be R-16 but the film was good.

I think the casting is spot on! Who would’ve thought that the sweet Seo hyun of SNSD can act so well in a somewhat risky role. Also gained a liking to the ML lead Jun for being the perfect, adorable Sub Ji hoo. This is 1000x better than 50 shades. The romance and chemistry is there and all the raunchy scenes were tastefully incorporated in the show without making it look like a trying hard p*rn flick. Also surprised with the R rating given that it’s not as in your face like the other R films ok Netflix like 365, After We Fell, Through my Window, etc.

Last scene in the video synopsis of Ahun and Change relationship is she was in the palace when it burned down and ashun rushed in.

Can someone please spoil me on the ending? Is it happy? Do they get married? I’m contemplating on watching this but I don’t what it to be another Goodbye my Princess. I saw a video synopsis on YT. And I’d like a confirmation please before I invest my time ij a 49 ep drama.

Finished this drama in two days. Has great potential with the story and good looking cast. Got draggy at the middle with supporting characters dropping left and right. Could have been shortened to 16 episodes. But even with 24 episodes, some of the key issues were hastily ended and could have been developed or explained better.

Super basic problem and a lot of eye candy. Just watch it in 2x speed. The story could have been solved in 16 episodes. But oh well. Not the best rom com out there but it does it’s best. Definitely better than My Dear Brother.

The blue marble does not grant wishes. As per the series lore, the power of the marble is limited to the powers of Gumihos (ex. Teleportation, memory alteration, psychokinesis). Also, the becoming human is the challenge for all gumihos in the series and the Blue marble is the “result/indicator” not the cause.

This plot is better but the actors in UL are definitely better. Specially the ML and FL. Simon Gong and Jade Cheng’s character acting works even when they are not paired together. But Yan Zi Dong and Snow Kong’s performance falls flat on their own. I can’t explain it quiet well but I felt that even though Jack and Si yan looked way better as a pair, Si Yan’s character works best with Qi Yi because they complement each other. But if they are away from each other, meh.

Agree. With her in the9 I was picturing her more like the modern Si Yan, but surprise! She actually rocked the quirky, sassy, down to earth female lead! I didn’t even feel any cringe on he aegyo parts. Esther Yu will be proud. :D

A Good Script Makes a Whole lot of Difference

I watched Sassy Beauty (Snow Kong) together with The Flowers are Blooming (Kiki Xu) expecting that I will like TFAB more since I’ve seen Kiki Xu’s work before and I like her. Both dramas didn’t have the A lister cast that you’d expect so I was totally banking on Kiki Xu’s charm. But 2 episodes in both dramas and I hate to admit that SB is a whole lot better than TFAB!

I had no problem with Kiki Xu’s acting but it’s just that SB’s plot is more riveting, interesting, and provides more room for Snow Kong and the rest of the cast to provide as much emotion as they can. I found the characters here to be more 3D and the supporting characters actually had their own character growth and story. While in TFAB the premise was just so lacking that the main leads don’t even have as much romantic scenes as you’d get from a rom com and the supporting characters remain as disposable characters that even if you remove them from the scene they wouldn’t matter and I wouldn’t care. I guess SB had the upper hand in terms of having an IP that actually works. Also Yan Zi Dong is not the most handsome and best ML actor but somehow getting paired with Snow Kong with her refreshing charm actually works and they do give off a believable chemistry even with their cardboard like kisses.

In the end I already finished SB as a marathon cried tears, laughed, and felt happy when the characters had their own fitting endings. Congrats to Snow Kong for getting a great script for her breakout drama. As for TFAB, I am mustering all my will power to finish the 24 eps but urg, their chemistry is just soso.

Thank you for the info! I’ve been searching for his FL for a long time! Of all his FLs I think Yang Ba Ba is the best! Visually perfect together and their chemistry is something else!
