Another drama of Zhao Lu Si & Liu Yu Ning, of course here I come...Story about a girl named Duan Wu (DW), that born as a slave in a brutal pearl farm. At the farm, every person must be able to swim to get the pearl in the ocean. If they can't the man will get harsh punishment and then sold to another place, while a woman will be as 'child factory'.
One day, DW meets merchant Yan Zi Jing (ZJ) and noble Zhang Jin Ran (JR) on the auction day. On that day too she's finally been able to escape from the farm, while sacrificing her mother. Before her death, DW's mother give DW a blood pearl and asked her to find her father relying on that blood pearl. One thing lead to another, in the end DW boarding ZJ's ship.
With success in her mind, DW try everything to gain ZJ trust. Slowly but sure, ZJ see DW potential and finally put her in his important plan. So, slowly but sure DW climbing the 'stairs' in ZJ's ship & of course their relationship also slowly deepen & grow into something more.
DW also find her connection to ZJ not as simple as she's first taught, DW connection to ZJ is go beyond to their parents. DW also learn the identity of ZJ not as simple as merchant, but it's more complicated than the eye meet. So, together DW & ZJ try to uncovering secrets about their family past.
When they think everything go smooth with their plan, something happen to break DW & ZJ apart. DW thinking ZJ betray her & even try to kill her. So, DW end up go to new place & renamed herself as Su Mu Zhe, and starts her own business. But of course slowly, DW misunderstanding for ZJ will wipe clean & they'll continue their relationship with each other.
At this new place, trouble seem unwilling to let DW go. DW whose been pioneer to inspiring women to take control of their destinies, meet trouble in the hands of old fold who's reluctant to lose to the woman. So, they're a few times make trouble for DW. But with help from friends and ZJ also JR, DW successfully avoid the trouble and thriving as a business woman. In the end, the last trouble is only the one connected with their family past. So, how will DW & ZJ successfully going through all the trouble...?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Zhao Lu Si & Liu Yu Ning at my screen. Haha... Whatever people said about them, for me their quite a match for each other.
+ Zhang Jin Ran is a really gentlemen till the end
+ Cui Shi Jiu (SJ). This woman is so interesting one way or another.
+ Zheng Zhi Heng (ZH). I love how he genuinely love SJ.
Overall this quite good drama, but surely forgettable & have some holes. Below I'll write the holes that I notice, but that's also mean SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
I feel the plot sometimes like jumping from scene to scene. It's like something supposed to be there but they cut it in the final edit.
- The attack that ZJ & JR experience. What the heck what's that... It's like one moment they ready to attack the next moment it's them who's under attack. Of course later is feel more clear after we find out about who's the betrayal. But still it's a little bit weird, feel something missing.
- The crazy and important cause that make ZJ's family assassinated. Or it's just me that really not take the grab of it...
- The amazing JR. Haha... JR a few time ambush his enemy by hand behind the scene. Haha... I don't know other word to put it, that's how I feel it. Like when he arrest ZH. Oh come on.... That's clearly lazy writing there. I hope they show us more like investigation or stalking or anything that indicate Zhang family is on the radar.
- The way DW been capture & the blood pearl suddenly be remembered again after been forgotten for half of drama.
I already a little bit forget some of it, gonna fill it later when I remember then... Haha...

Oh Sh*t...
Quite wonder about this drama. Finally finished aired. Let's watch it...Story about Sheng Wang (SW), a boy who just move back to town & enter new school. The first scene actually just give view that he just come to town, but later when SW flash back, we know that actually he's lived there when he's little. So, SW move back to town due to his father re-married. In this new school, he get a shocking news, the school have a harsh test rule. They quick to learn new subject & then test. But thankfully, SW is a clever boy, he quickly adapt with the school system & got himself friends.
On the other hands, there's Jiang Tian (JT), a top student in the school. SW's dad married JT's mom & that's make them brothers & they also lived in the same house. At first, SW quite reluctant to ask for JT's help, cause JT also like build a wall so no one can go near him. But slowly but sure we can see how special SW in JT's eye. JT silently help SW to adapt with their friend & in the end also JT & SW both help each other in their study.
So, slowly but sure we can see how their relationship get closer and closer. But of course like any other teenager, SW quite struggler with his feeling for JT. On one hand, JT is SW brother. But on the other hand, SW notice JT is quite special for him & SW also notice how JT think him as special man too. So, how will their relationship evolve from here...?
That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ The perfect chemistry between JT & SW. Oh I love how they put the atmosphere between these boys....
+ Usually I quite hate or don't like if actor in their 30s or edge of their 20s act as teenage boy, but for these cast I beg the different. And unlike the recent Thai drama that force their luck with the actor, both our main lead surround by the actor of their age.
+ The funny and perfect little school life.
Overall this quite good a drama. But why I only give this 6.5...? Because one big thing that I really hate... But that's also mean BIG SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk. Without the drawback actually I'll gonna rate this 8.5 - 9
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
What I don't like:
THIS IS THE OPEN ENDING WITH THE CLIFFHANGER!!!! They leave us when SW start notice his feeling for JT & want to 'cure' it, return it to just brotherly feeling between them.
But still this one series that I still excited to wait for season 2. I really hope I'm not wait for too long

Watch this for my Zhang Bin Bin. Turn out to be one of the best medical drama. Let's talk drama...Story about Zheng Ren (ZR), a prodigy doctor who's not easy to give up. This drama open with ZR witness his father jump from the building, cause the malpractice accusation. So yeah, this drama open with ZR try to unravel the mystery of his father accusation & also the reason ZR go to Haicheng Hospital. But that's mystery soon be solved & with that mystery ending, now is the turn for ZR to open the curtain & all the nerve-wracking story about doctor's job begin...
In Haicheng, ZR met Su Yun (SY), a good doctor with traumatize history that make him can't hold the scalpel. ZR also changing Su Li (SL) the perspective about running hospital or become the doctor itself. ZR remind SL about her initial purpose to become doctor is to save people, not only about making the hospital into profitable business. With the changing perspective in SL mind, she start to form star team with ZR as the centre.
At first ZR as the star doctor get opposition from senior doctor at Haicheng Hospital. Of course, he is a young & new doctor, many senior & old doctor at Haicheng not accepting him as the face of Haicheng Hospital. But soon that old fella have to admit ZR is a prodigy doctor & deserve the title as the star doctor.
Slowly but sure, the team start to form. And when the Haicheng Hospital get the case to separated the conjoint twin, the team has been formed & ready to go for the surgery. The team include He Qian, an anesthetic doctor; Xie Yi Ren, equipment nurse; Lin Yuan second surgeon; Chang Yue orthopedic surgeon; later we get introduce to Rudolf, a foreign doctor that be mesmerize with ZR technic. And of course the most important member SY, after he get heal from his trauma.
Now what I like and don't like.
What I like
+ The Bromance between ZR & SY. Hohoho... If this from other country, I think they already ship that bromance into romance. Haha...
+ The bickering between the doctor, but at the end the most important thing for them still to safe people, not just for their ego.
+ All doctor also normal human. They can be traumatize or have grudge.
+ How doctor can be reminded again about their original purpose to become a doctor.
+ No hospital politic. Pure about medical field...
Actually I don't have something that I don't like. So maybe just what I don't too like:
- I don't too understand all the medical operation & term.
- Oh how much I wish this from other country. So we can see the relationship of ZR & SY transform to deeper relationship. Haha...
Overall this really one good medical drama.

Quite a lot comparison with the Japan version
Yeay finally this is done airing…. Let's discuss drama…Fair warning, I'll talk a lot about the comparison between Japan & Thai version. But first of all, like usual, I'll talk a bit about the story in my version.
Story about Kongthap who is mistaken about Atom’s feelings towards him. Cause Kongthap picked the eraser that was accidentally dropped by Atom, and has his name on it. The eraser actually belongs to Matmi & later on we find out that it's not Kongthap name on it but Half, or the first name of Half, Pholkongthap.
But that incident actually made Kongthap & Atom closer to each other. And cause Kongthap is a very serious person, he seriously thinks about Atom's 'confession’ to him. And slowly but sure, their feelings towards each other start to become special & finally bloom…
In this drama, we see how teenagers struggle about their feelings (Atom from like Matmi, which is girl, to Kongthap, which is boy), how to manage what society will think about their sexuality, decided about their future (university destination & what to study in university), to how to be honest with ur family…
Overall for me this is quite good. Not the best, but not really a dissapointment. Can I say better than the Japan version…? For me, as always, I can relate more with the Thai version than Japan.
Below I'll talk about what I like & don't like. But it's fill with SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at your own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
The good:
+ How half try his best to remember Matmi. It much better than Japan, which only show us Aida Hayato remembering Hashimoto Mio in the end.
+ The society pressures. What Atom feels when he is embarrassed with his relationship with Kongthap. He thinks about how others will see him & Kongthap. The struggle is more visible in Thai than in Japan. Maybe cause Japan is more individual country, many people see personal things as their own privacy.
+ The breakthrough symbolism. Half like to call Matmi ‘Hulk’. That's doesn’t mean Matmi as muscular and strong woman, it just indicate the most fav hero by half
+ The good teacher. Annop is a really good teacher. He really guided his students. Not only about study, but also about relationships.
+ Thai involve family more than Japan version. In Thai version we see how Atom & Kongthap struggle when they have to be honest about their relationship to their mothers. And also how Matmi & Half relationship in Matmi ‘s family…
+ Matmi & Half relationship is cuter in Thai version than Japan…
+ The struggle to pick ur University choice. Especially when u are like Atom, who doesn't know what to study at first. I ‘m really happy when Half decided to follow his heart & dream & not choose Matmi University choice, just cause they're in the relationship.
+ The Chinchilla band… haha. Seeing the Chinchilla band from my school president singing on the stage is really a bonus point.
The bad:
- Wasted potential: the camp. The camp in the Japan version has been meaningful. It has the purpose of uniting the whole class, not only 4 of our main leads…
- Too rushed. When Kongthap & Atom just start their relationship, Atom just wants to rush their relationship to the next step, like kiss, instead just wait for nature to take its course…
- The pause. They like giving pause in the sentence, like to indicate the next part is so important. But in the end it almost always turns out to be nothing. Especially when Half is talking

Fill with small and big spoiler. So read it at ur own risk!!!
This one of the drama that confuse me, what score should I give it. Many potential this drama has, but dragged down by too many sh*t & calm everyday life & definitely too many episodes.Story about Zhuang Jie (ZJ) & Chen Mai Dong (MD) , high school friends that meet again in their adult life. ZJ back to her home town from Shanghai & meet again with MD. ZJ once had crush with MD in high school, but life throw them apart. And now when ZJ meet MD, just to find out she still can fall for him again. And this time, ZJ feeling not only one side, because MD also show interest to ZJ.
With that note, the struggle of MD & ZJ relationship begin. Why...? Cause even though MD & ZJ decided to start their relationship, ZJ still can't leave her life at Shanghai, just for sake to be with MD. So, how will their relationship be...?
That's to make the story short. But in the long story... This is not only about MD & ZJ relationship. But also about family & friendship. In this drama we also watch the death of 2 people & how their close one deal with it...
Now what I like & don't like.
What I like :
+ The chemistry between Li Xian & Zhou Yu Tong. I can feel MD & ZJ struggle in their relationship
+ The peaceful life in the small town
+ The friendship between Grandma Lin & Granny Chen. When u ask what is soul mate without any other feelings. These 2 old folks show us what is soul mate in friendship mean.
+ The wonderful respect for those who do their job connected with funeral. This sometimes are taboo thing to discuss & definitely not enough respect for those who work in this field.
+ Zhuang Yan & He Niao Niao is two cute little sibling. I like how they interact with ZJ...
What I don't like:
- The relationship feel one side heavy in MD's side. ZJ is one the most selfish FL in the drama world & it feel MD has to always understand her.
- The boring scene between important event. They show us boring everyday life that sometimes make me want to drop the drama, this also one of the reason I give this drama quite low score.
- How family keep interfere with MD & ZJ relationship. First is ZJ's mom & later is MD's grandma.
Overall, once again this drama actually have important meaning to be told, but the implementation make us just boring in some occasions...

I forgot why I even want to watch this in the first place... But for sure just another drama to be added to my list...Let's begin...
This drama told a story of Gene, the writer. He wanted to write story about mystery, but instead his publisher gave him task to write BL novel & it exploded with success. This drama started with Gene book choose to be adapt into series. And there where's he met Nubsib, the main actor of his drama. When the story started to run, we learn that admiration Nubsib had for Gene is nothing light & he really loves him with all the jealousy... How will the story run from here forward...?
Ok. What now let's discuss what I like and don't like. First as usual, what I like. Cause I gonna write a little bit spoiler in the part of what I don't like
What I like:
+ The harsh reality of the industry. Both publishing and entertainment industry. We see how much Gene get pressure from his editor, even to put the things he didn’t want to write in the book. And later we also see how harsh the entertainment industry…
+ Nubsib, Gene & Aoey all have good manager that thinks for them not only for the industry.
+ The cute story of Gene & Nubsib past relationship.
+ What a supported Gene & Nubsib family…
Overall this just another title to added to my list...
Below I'll write what I don’t like. But that's also mean a little SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it with ur own risk!!!
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
Now what I don’t like:
- Nubsib is one stubborn kind. The stubborn not always in good side. Like how he insisted his relationship with Gene, he even talked about break the contract. Some people maybe find it romantic, but for me that just scream irresponsible…
- I don’t understand why Gene angry with Nubsib, when he learned that they actually know each other from childhood. Nubsib never really mention he didn’t know Gene in the first place, why Gene must feel Nubsib lied to him & angry about it…
- Until the last I still don’t really get a grip of how Aoey character really is. Is he one cunning man? One man that looked for attention? Or what his character really is? I just know for sure he is one lonely man. Unfortunately, we also don’t get much of history of Aoey. There’s a little bit about him & I hope to see a little bit more of it.
- The ending… UGH!!! Feel like anticlimactic after what happen with Gene & Nubsib family.

Trash movie
Watch this for our main lead, NuNew Chawarin Perdpiriyawong & Zee Pruk Panich. Well this movie what happen when u rush to grab any script just for the sake of both actor can be on the same screen again. 1 word only.... TRASHThe only good thing is the chemistry of the lead, NuNew & Zee. The other just trash after trash... From the trash plot, to the trash thriller or horror, even the trash of the ghost make up. Haha....
I'm out of word to describe how trash this movie... One supposed to be quite good story, is what the impression i get from the summary, they make it so trashy just to make NuNew & Zee to be on the same screen again...
Overall just skip this movie. Although only about 1 hr, but i already feel i waste my time... Hope for better future project for NuNew & Zee....

Love him love his voice? Yes please...
Finally been able to sit & watch this drama... Oh My God I love love love this... Long time not falling this down & deep with any drama.... I don’t want this to end....Before this never realized how soothing Tan Jian Ci voice.... That voice really can make me dream to the cloud nine... Haha.... So with that voice, this drama definitely land their mark on my fav ost. Can't get enough of all the song in this drama.... Enough about that. Let's talk drama....
What i really2 like:
+ Tan Jian Ci and his voice.... One more time. Oh My Gosh that voice....
+ One walking & alive green flag ML... Haha... One very famous, rich, kind and handsome man that very humble & still very introvert man. Haha... And the way he respect our FL. Ugh... How can a man alive in only our dream come to our screen... Haha...
+ No love rival or third wheel that hinder their relationship. Not even fans of both side....
+ The cute 2nd couple. So cute & a little bit frustrated to see the dumb Zhou Zheng when he try to chase Geng Xiao Xing
+ How wonderful their friend circle. I love see how they all interact with each other. Even though they sometimes nosy, but with only one glance from Mo Qing Cheng (QC) and they all shut up. Haha...
+ The drolling food. Ugh... Sometimes it makes me hungry... Unfortunately later we don't get the cooking narration from our ML, instead just the cooking demo itself.... Haha...
What feel a little lack:
- How casual every thing.... The way they start to take their relationship further is so casual. Like when QC confess to Gu Sheng (SS), it's in the kitchen. It's like something he can't hide anymore and just jump out of his mouth. Or when QC purpose to SS, oh so damn casual.... I really hope we can get the better proposal scene....
- QC a little too perfect to be a famous person. I don’t believe no crazy fans or paparatzi that try to reveal his face to the world. Especially when Qiang Qing Ci start his relationship with Sheng Sheng Man, 2 hot topic yet no one try to expose more... Unfortunately I don't believe the world is that kind...
- They never let our FL introduce to ML's family.... Only QC comes to SS family. If only the throw away some unimportant scene, like when QC & SS meet QC neighbors, and replace with SS come to QC's house. It's gonna be the best. After all they plan the wedding, right. How can the leave behind the fact SS haven't meet QC's family....
Overall this definitely one drama i can't forget & forever and ever in my most beloved drama....

Jan 2024 Recommendation Challenge
Watch this for Recommendation Challenge month of Jan 2024. Long time heard this one but finally watch this. Must say have mix feeling about this in the end.What I like first:
+ Ko Chia Yen played 2 character beautifully. We can feel the diff between 2 of her character. The depress Chen Yun Ru (YR) & the cheerful Huang Yu Xuan (YX). Even as simple as the way she walk is diff with 2 character.
+ The beautiful song. But yeah.. Like Kate wrote I think I also heard enough of this song. At least for a while for me. Haha...
+ The beautiful representation of our beautiful mind... Haha... This kinda like Miss Gu Who Is Silent concept but more complicated
+ I kinda like how the make the concept of room in our brain
What I don't like:
- They start to lose me when they introduce the part of Li Zi Wei (ZW) | Wang Quan Sheng (QS). Especially when he returned back to ZW. Gonna be better if we have time stamp. Really confused how & why must be like that & sometimes confuse what time we currently watching that time.
- How can ZW easily understand the time jump concept. Especially when he met himself at the airport. He never really go deep with the time jump concept, but he easily accepted when he see himself & not shock or confused a little bit
- At the end I kinda confuse which one is the real characteristic of YR. The sad & depress one or the cheerful one...
- And after read Kate's review I also just realize how the writer never really bothered to make the story of other characters outside YR. Like the relationship between ZW & their parents. It's like the character only exist to support YR.
- And yeah like Kate's wrote too. I also think in the end this kinda take the depression & mental issue too lightly. Depression it's not something easy to change/heal with the change of mind
Overall this a good drama with interesting concept how beautiful our mind is.... If u looking for romance, just stay away from this drama.

Woohoo... So long not watch Jackie Chan movie at my local movie theater... And I enjoy every moment of it... Haha...Heart warming story about the struggle stunt-man and his family. Sometimes from our screen we often forgot the one who work behind the screen, especially the stunt-man for our actor/ess.
The story revolve around Luo Zhi Long (ZL) & his family. Story begin with ZL & his horse having problem about ownership, that problem make ZL has to contact his long detached daughter. After that finally their journey to win the case begin & also rekindle their relationship. While at the same time ZL himself finally start again his stunt-man job together with his horse.
Really like in the end how he finally realized how important family are. And how to appreciate the relationship with his family. And how to choose what's more important between his pride or the safety of his own & his family (the horse. Haha...). And at the very end we can see that loyal animal is not only dog but also horse, or maybe just basically any animal that we take care with our full heart.
Through out the drama I also thought, what it feel for Jackie Chan himself...? Is it like slap in his own face....? I think ZL relationship with his daughter quite like his own relationship with his son in the real life. Is he also mend his own relationship with his family like ZL did with his daughter...?
What interesting: We can see many many clip from Jackie Chan old movie & his own stunt. Haha... Seeing that clip really make me nostalgic & want to re-watch his old movie.... :D
What missing from this drama:
Unfortunately this movie missing 1 point in my opinion. It's gonna be more perfect if the last movie that his friend talk about movie for appreciate stunt-man really comes to the screen. But anyhow without this it's also perfect for the story, cause this actually not really focus in that aspect too...
Overall this really good movie to be watch for....

Impossible police movie
Impossible police movie why...? Because it's really miracle if you get into special forces into police department just by being a hero & all the reporter happen to ask if you would get into police forces or not & the mayor just agreed by it. But still it's become one good dream that this movie sold. Haha...Oh Gyun Shik became police by pure luck & coincidence. That's why all the superior & senior in the police forces don't know what to do with him. And by suggestion by one of the leader he become first ever police intern. But Gyun Shik didn't take the job for granted & did it with all his heart. Maybe that's why God (and of course our writer) give him opportunity & talent to do the job well & got acknowledged by his colleagues. Even his direct boss, that at first really want to 'kick' his out, become his supporter & fight for his position in police force.
Overall this one good Detective movie...
Was this review helpful to you?
Firstly I don't too like this drama, because so cheap & short drama, so it contain nothing heavy or meaningful. Even though this is just another cheap and short drama, the more I think about it the more true it is like everyone wrote here, everything just there.... There's love story, politic & drama. Although no character development, but the costume, the martial Art and the background is quite nice and not too cheap for the eyes...
So yeah... If you look for short and quick drama to complete your Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. This drama can be your choice. Haha....

not usual FL or Queen
I think this is first time ever I've watch c-drama where the FL is not a pretty slim woman. As expected this drama bring us along with new perspective of FL, many new joy to the ride.What's new:
+ FL is not a pretty slim woman. Hell yeah finally we can see FL not as a pretty slim woman & she feel very proud of herself & no shame have big body.
+ Queen not groom to be queen. Liu Jin Feng (JF) never been raised to be queen, so she never learn the etiquet to be one. As a result we see not very polite, not very elegant woman as our FL and queen.
+ JF bring the upbring as usual woman & treat the king, Duan Yun Zhang (YZ), as her husband not the king. As the result we can see how she teach him how to apologize when you wrong no matter who you are or to watch his mouth, because as she said his word is a degree so he can just said it as he please, must be the right order that bring goodness to everyone else.
What I like:
+ the attraction between JF & YZ. Chemistry not over the top, of course this still a comedy drama not romance, and the behavior between Jackie Li & Li Hong Yi we can see very friendly & they're very enjoy the moment they're in the scene together.
+ The nature of Liu Xie (LX) characteristic. From the very first we can see this is a very interesting man, but what is his intention....? Is he really bad or he just have very sly personality that like to play with the mind of YZ. Even YZ himself torn between is LX actually a good man or bad one, that's why we can see until the very end YZ actually quite reluctant to kill LX.
+ How the relationship between JF & YZ form until the end. How they build the trust, friendship & love in the end.
+ The relationship between Liu Bai Yu (BY) & Duan Yun Chong. It's quite funny to see how their relationship transform...
+ The character of Yong Fu. We always say good mother shape a good daughter. Well this happen in the case of this drama. We often can hear the word, my mom said....
What lack:
- I have to admit although I quite happy we can see not a norm queen, but to see a complete out of norm Queen like JF is also quite questionable. And the moment they also put BY as one moment that more fit as Queen then JF is also quite raising our eyebrow... But everything good & have their purpose at the end....
- Half baked love rival between By & JF or YZ & Yu Chang Ya. Yeah sometimes quite happy to see we don't have very cunning love rival that want make us pull their hair. But half baked like this also leave some holes....
- The kingdom enemy, like Xi Yue kingdom that already prepare battle but in the end become nothing except jokes. For me they better not prepare foreign kingdom as an enemy than like this. Like why kingdom must have enemy in the border, why not just create the story without it & just focus with the Palace or it's own kingdom.
Overall this one very unique drama that show up in drama world. I really hope we can see this kind of drama again & finger cross we can see Jackie Li as another FL not only support role.

Messed up plot
Hm... Where should I begin to complain....This is one big messed up plot. The big plot from beginning till the end is all over the place with nowhere to place the plate. Till the end I still don't get it, why must Xiang town, what's the he big deal about this small town, at first I though because of the gold mine, but turn out nothing. And till the end we also don't get any explanation about the Young Master from out of town, who the hell is he, why he is one big deal.
What good about this drama:
1. The scene quite funny. The behavior of Zhang Yu Jian as Kong Xue Li quite make me laugh.
2. The comic that sometimes come out a little bit interesting.
What bad (Except what I've complain in the beginning):
1. The funny & ridiculous scene become more boring, just like vishnu menon said, yeah I also feel after 14 ep this become quite boring & unattractive anymore
2. We have the winner of all the dumb psychopath lover. Hu Xuan Xuan is one big dumb love slave. Kong Xue Li (XL) already said from the beginning that he doesn't like her & even swap with his life he will not gonna choose her. But see... She still insisted.
3. No bad guy really get justice. I mean like, how many time XL 'let go' the bad guy if there's some circumstances, like Yuan Chun Feng ffollower (I forget his name), how many time he escape....
Overall this just another drama to spend ur days with. But there is 1 sentence that so true from this drama. The most scared or hard thing to change is someone believes. Just like people in Xiang Town believe with all that mystical thing.
