Watched this because see the scene where Fang Yi Shao (YS) cooking. Bored with romance drama lets watch cooking drama ^_^This drama quite funny & interesting. Never expected this drama also about solving mystery.... But it's a good surprise.
This stories also tell us how the good for nothing men become became someone when there is a women (or anyone) push him & believe him from behind and also when that man find someone he want to protect.
This drama also about chinese tradition & food. Who can cook maybe if you follow her instruction in this drama you can replicate the cooking :D. This drama a little remind me of the old drama where the chef is man & he also cook for the emperor, i forget the title (maybe king of food 1998 drama but i'm not sure because this drama have not summary what so ever), this drama also make me drolling with the food :)
In the review there is someone write about low budget drama. For me this is not low budget, they just put all the budget into food ^_^. I don't think preparing the food in this drama is cheap :)
YS is so lucky, at that era she can find in-laws that not too care about family name or line what so ever. And Fang Yao ( FY) really impudent woman. She first reject Shen Yong (SY) but in the end she want SY for herself.... No reason woman. Finally she get her punishment when she plotting against YS & SY.
What i like from this show:
- SY is really love & respect YS. He can really wait for YS to be ready before do anything with her.
- They give us how to cooked the food. Even though only little but for who want to, i think they can learn some.
- The emperor really smart & cunning man.
- How brave & a little disrespectful SY when he face the emperor when SY think emperor put YS in danger.
What funny from this show:
- SY and his dad so afraid with their wife ^_^. Especially with the case where they must go to brothel & their wives didn't give their permission. So funny...
- SY who don't wanna have son because afraid his son will be like him & his mom whose really want grandson...
- When SY and YS come back from the capital no one pay attention to SY only YS...
What weird or lack:
- the most weirdest from this show is when YS cooking no one help her, in the palace and especially in SY house. It's like in that house, no staff kitchen or cook that work in that house before YS come, the kitchen so empty... in the palace also why no one help YS when she cooked for the banquet. So much work only the 'princess' do it herself. Makes no sense right...
- They make FY and her family become antagonist with half-hearted. It's like they need antagonist character but also don't want to make them too cunning or evil.
- Both SY teacher just disappear from the drama.
Overall:
Funny & enjoyable drama. But for me this is not re-watch material. Final warning: Don't watch this with empty stomach or watch out for your drolling....

The summary given by MDL said that Si Tu Mo (STM) as accounting major who searching for her career winds up living with a genius physics student, Gu Wei Yi (GWY), who shakes up her daily routine. Yeah that just the beginning of the story but can't grip the whole story. Meh... This is not a story about that. This drama more like about a geek genius who fall in love with the girl & they daily lifeLoved: How funny when GWY feeling in love with STM & how stupid he is when he try to confess his feeling.
Don't like: How stupid & Selfish Fu Pei (FP) is. Who like me first few episode feel like want to smack FP head. Don't understand why he clearly love STM but don't want to admit his feeling and make STM into his GF, just stay in friend zone. Why must wait until graduate. Stupid right.
Like:
> When STM finally stop being stupid girl that just can wait for FP to admit his feeling and change her feeling to GWY
> Happy when finally Wang Shan (WS) and FP can be together for real. WS really good for FP.
Re-watch: Like to re-watch ^_^

So happy to watch this. Interesting plot that in my opinion done right. Haha... Read the review, read the comments not everyone think good about this drama. Especially for the last couple episodes.... Yeah I agreed, some last episodes kinda stupid & rushed, but for me that's not enough to condemn the whole drama for it. Haha... Let me explainedI most agreed with lurkingshan writing. Yeah this not casual, fluff romance like any other simple story about soul mates or romance. This have more deeper meaning to the story. This drama actually kinda rebuked the concept of soul mates & that's what I love about this drama.
For some of us soul mates mean the perfect fit, it's like a perfect pair of gloves, but this drama talked about relationships not only need love, but also communication & how to put some efforts in your relationships. Like Saengtai's parents, they're the soul mates, but decided to separated cause life happen & they in the end have different focus & goal in life. And that's OK, that's just life. No matter how fit our soul mates with us, sometimes we find out that we actually have different set of goal. What I regret is just Saengtai's parents not really explained to Saengtai about it until much later, which for me already too late & damaging Saengtai's view of love & relationship.
What the rushed...? How to 'ruin' the relationship between Saengtai & Phat. Yeah the explosion of Phat's anger toward Lomfon is really out of character. If Phat & Saengtai haven't really settled their relationship it more make sense, cause Phat feel insecure about their relationship. But this happen after Phat & Saengtai already in the relationship, so no matter how insecure Phat, he's not supposed to exploded like that. Phat from the beginning is the mature one in their relationship, so he supposedly can hold his emotions & talk like grown man, not just burst his emotion out like that.
I agree with Pinoy Ares, the writer better spend the rest of duration by give us more explanation about the soul mate connection than just give us the bullshit about the explosion of Phat's emotions & their break up.
Overall this really one interesting concept of soul mate that's quite different from the others
Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
One thing that's pissed me off the most is the very last scene. What's the heck is that....??? How can they give us the open ending like this.......!!!! Hope we get second season about Lomfon & Saengthian.

Turn out this quite interested show. The case & the cast interaction itself sometimes quite boring. And unfortunately where I watched sometimes not all things translated. Especially the explanation of each suspect after they're being interrogated, so sometimes a little confused with their conclusion & logic.
But what makes me keep interested until the last is the promise of all the case will gonna be link in together & the setting is really really good. Really like to see how serious they set the setting. Oh and the psychologist that come at the end of the case explaining the mental or psychology behind every case
Sometimes see their interaction also make me wonder is the dialogue & everything is actually scripted or they just given the outline...
Oh yeah the most funny thing in this TV show is how they edit all the photograph. Haha... Very very bad quality that make me smile every time there're editing photo... Also how they promote the sponsor, Oreo & Pomelo Juice, really make me want to taste that pomelo juice, unfortunately I'm not in China so I can't buy it :(
But yeah in the end this still tv show, scripted or not as long as they're enjoyable is ok....

Watch this of course because of yang yang ^_^. But in the end fall in love with the story... :DNever expected can be excited to the typical game drama like this where there isn't love involved at all. Kinda hoping in the sequel there is a little bit love action between Ye Xiu (YX) with Su Mu Cheng (SMC) or Chen Guo (CG). My choice kind toward YX with SMC :D.
Really love how cunning YX when try to recruit his team mate. Expecially when he recruit Wei Chen. Love how YX can give the space that needed by his team mate even though he need them in reality. Love how talkative Huang Shao Tian is, he is so funny... ^_^. Quite impress how brave SMC when she leave her team mate in the middle of the competition.
This is the second time Yang Yang cast as the best gamer in the drama. Quite curious is Yang Yang really good at games or what... B)
Re-watch: Love to re-watch it from the begin to the end :D

Even Xu Kai Can't help
Another drama that I drop. Combination of drama slump, busy day & bored drama, really drained my energy & RN I don't have extra energy to be drained. So yeah dropping is the best decision for this drama.I don't know what went wrong with this drama. Maybe the combination of anime & cartoon that not on the right track, plus also everything revealed much too soon. Let me explained
Combination of anime & cartoon like what...? Well, for the first time in my collection of Martial Art drama that I've watch, I think this is the first one where every new moves given title like in old time cartoon/anime. More over the BGM also don't help, sometimes it's way too cartoony for me. What do you mean too cartoony...? Well you have to watch to understand, I don't have other word to describe it. And also a little bit cartoon in every episode to emphasize not helping this drama at all...
Everything revealed much too soon? Yeah from the beginning we already know who the bad guy/girl, even though we still don't know what their purpose for Dongbo Xue Ying in the end. Even they also revealed who the hidden agent among the good guy way too soon in my opinion. It's like they have no element of surprise again to be revealed later on. And that make me feel bored maybe... Haha...
In the end I try a good amount of episode (20 or half drama to be exact) before call it quit. Oh I try, even for my Xu Kai, to watch the end to see will I care about the ending or at least care to know how it become like that. Why...? To see do I still care enough with ending or process to endure the torment watching this drama. And to answer that. NOOOOO!!! Big NO NO. I don't give a d*mn care. So yeah I dropped this.... Haha....

just because Yang Yang & Dilraba Dilmurat
At first this is really a boring drama. Thanx GOD this drama is played by Yang Yang & Dilraba Dilmurat, if not maybe I'll already drop or hold this. However this drama compensates for everything in the end.This drama gets better Yu Tu realizes his feelings & gets better again after they are in a relationship. But still the aerospace things still bore me, I don't understand a thing about what they try to explain.
What I like:
+ Yu Tu (YT) & Qiao Jing Jing (JJ) both quite mischievous, they like to tease each other, even their family is no exception.
+ JJ is really down to earth as a very big artist herself. This shows us even the big artist doesn't mean always have to be all over the top.
+ JJ is a very fast thinker person. She can give a very fast response of a problem, its like just in a blink of eye she can think some response. Like she has response in the tip of her tongue. So funny to see her quick response & how YT expression of every instant response that JJ give ^_^.
+ No such thing as a love rival.
+ No other couple. They do not even try to create a second lead couple.
+ YT & JJ relationship is really one healthy relationship. With no stupid misunderstandings or conflicts that makes the relationship become complicated. Not even the money problem
+ really like how in the end the story doesn't stop at their wedding, but continues a little bit more to show us how important YT's job as aerospace scientist is.
+ how people expression when YT tells them that JJ is his GF. Especially Da Meng's expression, really funny.
+ How chill JJ with their relationship. She's really not afraid that her relationship become public consumption.
What doesn't quite makes no sense but doesn't make the story bad:
* YT so handsome but have no fan girl in his office ^_^
* all other friends keep disappearing after some time. Like Zhai Liang / "Panicky" who disappearing after he moves to Shenzhen. But that's life isn't it, not all the people we can keep in our life forever.
* No paparazzi ever hanging around their relationship. The only paparazzi ever try to get the scoop even get caught & can't publish the photo & article.
Overall I am really happy Yang & Dilraba Dilmurat in this drama together as a couple. But for the story itself I can't say this is the best. The story pace itself is actually kind of slow for only 30 min drama and 32 ep. Re-watch...? No, I don't think I'm gonna re-watch this. Next I hope I can see Yang-yang with Zhao Li Ying, Yang Mi or Yang Zi ^_^

Story about the the plant-alien hybrid (Yi Clan) named Si Teng (ST) , whose been slept for 80 years. Qin Fang accidentally wake her up & their journey begins...
What journey...? Unfortunately that's when i decided to stop care & watch, so i don't really know what their journey about. According to MDL summary it's about unrevealed ST memory. But the moment where I stop watch also talk about ST's taking her revenge.
Unfortunately for me the whole story over time not increasing my curiosity about Yi clan or ST herself. Instead they make me more and more careless about what happen in my screen. Although I quite like the chemistry between Zhang Binbin & Jing Tian, it still not enough to save the whole drama for me.

My Sept 2024 Recommendation Challenge
Long time this in my PTW, thanx to TianD and Recommendation Challenge, I've finally watched this...The reason this so long in my PTW, because the duration of each episode. Make me watch more than 1h per episode, it's quite tormented. Haha... It always bored me at some point.... And as I predict, some episodes of this drama quite bored for me, those episodes make me feel when this will end and continue to the next one... Haha... So yeah, that's quite lowering the score for this drama for me. But of course there're also some episode that can evoke my emotion, so yeah it quite help the score for this drama.
Story about Kim Shin (KS) a general that's curse to be a goblin, due to his sin of killing innocent person just because he's stubborn & want to approach the king... With that curse, KS live immortality to wait for his bride to be born to kill him. After 900 years, KS help a woman & her baby, and with that decision, KS made his destiny, cause the baby that he saved is his bride...
19 years later, KS meet Ji Eun Tak (ET), the baby that he saved & also his bride. ET can see ghost as long as she remembered, and all the ghost always greet her as the goblin's bride. Cause when KS saved her, he also give her a mark & that mark indicate that ET indeed is the goblin's bride.
But that's mean everything went smoothly for KS & ET...? Of course not. ET has prove herself as the goblin's bride for KS, and little by little KS & ET are getting closer & closer to each other. They start to prove they're indeed the soulmate for each other & little by little their feeling for each other also grown into full blossom... So... How their relationship ended in the end...? Can they avoid the fact that ET born to kill KS...?
I think that's pretty much the story without giving any spoiler. Haha... Now let's talk about what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ The chemistry between Gong Yoo & Kim Go Eun. They quite suitable for each other.
+ Gong Yoo & Kim Go Eun are good actor/ess. I can see how captivated KS of ET from KS's first glaze of ET. And the grow of their relationship. How devastated when ET has to lose KS. Everything portrayed perfectly...
+ The interesting story of Grim Reaper & Sunny. Really funny to see Grim Reaper act like an idiot when they first met...
What I don't like:
- The long duration of each episode...
- The unclear Samshin Lady... Who the heck is this lady. See even MDL don't give the name to her... At first I thought she is the GOD, but turn out no... So who the heck is this lady...?????
Overall, this just another drama for my list. TianD said, "Goblin is a hit or miss." For me this is a miss.. Haha... And really until I finished write this, I even don't know what score to give this drama. So a little fair warning, I can still change the score many months from now... Haha....

yang yang can't help
OMG i can't count how many times do i build up the interest to watch this drama since this yang yang drama. But even yang yang can't help me getting interest with this drama. Especially when i know in the end yang yang will gonna died.Why i don't like...? Hm.... i don't know. But i try to watch & the story really can't pick up my interest. The main actress is not so beautiful & her expression kinda dull for me. Sorry don't judge me, i still like to see beautiful face in my drama.
Since now so many more interesting drama that i want to watch i don't think i ever look back to this drama.

Fill with small and big spoilers. So read at your own risk!
Xu Kai and Seven Tan of course here I came…. So far this is one the best mature business romance dramas this year. Mature ML & FL make the drama not so dramatic and problematic. But still it has unnecessary understanding & prolonged episodes… Haha…Ok. Let’s talk about drama….
Story about Ji Xing (JX) & Han Ting (HT), university friends that separated & meet up later on. HT had feelings for JX since university days, but they were just acquaintances. On the day of their separation, HT had to go to Germany for study. He tried to reach out to JX to tell her about his situation, but because of the unfortunate turn of events, JX’s phone had been stolen so she never gets the info & always thinks HT just goes without saying goodbye.
Now, many years later, HT met JX again & all the feelings started to come back or should I say, never actually gone… HT & JX come across in their company, with HT as the investor in the company she works on. But like MDL told us, JX who was frustrated with unfair treatment in the company she works on decided to quit her job & start her own company together with her junior, Su Zhi Zhou. After circling around to look for investors for her company, JX finally accepted HT's offer to invest in her company.
Now, as usual, typical ML as investor & FL as the one he invests money in… HT teaches or ‘mentoring’ JX closely… And as MDL told us, with HT backing, JX’s entrepreneurial journey begins to gain momentum. And as HT & JX collaborate closely, their professional relationship starts to deepen, and of course in the end romance sparks fly.
But unfortunately even though HT has deep feelings for JX, he still can’t forget his identity as businessman & investor. One thing led to another, eventually that’s what caused misunderstandings between JX & HT. That in the end at one time made JX run away from HT & they broke up. Just to be reunited in the end… Haha…. Ok. That’s pretty much the story about JX & HT.
Now, the other side story…
JX has 3 best friends, Li Li, Tu Xiao Meng (XM) & Wei Qiu Zi (QZ). But in the drama it’s more about 2 of them, Lili & XM. Cause you can say QZ love story not crossed with HT & JX story.
1st Wei Qiu Zi (QZ). When JX separated from HT, she had a boyfriend, Shao Yi Chen (YC). When JX was about to start her company YC really saw the differences that cannot be crossed between JX & himself, so YC just broke up with JX. QZ, who turned out had long feelings for YC, began chasing & finally they ended up being together.
2nd Tu Xiao Meng (XM). XM is an online influencer & JX’s roommate. Lu Lin Jia (LJ) originally didn’t like XM, due to her bickering with LJ idol. But when they get closer, LJ finds out XM has her own charm & starts to fall for her. XM that thinks LJ as one of her friends never really thinks more about LJ as a man. But time goes by and so the friendship becomes closer & the feelings start to spark too… With the help of LJ’s mom, they finally end up together.
3rd Li Li. Lili is one of the top sales marketers. But because of one problem, she quit her job & later she decided to join JX’s company as their sales director. Su Zhi Zhou (ZZ) long admired Lili, but Lili is in a relationship with Xiao Yi Xiao (YX) & Lili thinks ZZ is still quite immature. So their relationship bloomed late.
Ok. That’s pretty much the story. Now let’s talk about what I like and don’t.
What I like:
+ The mature JX & HT. Although there’s some misunderstanding about HT’s intention for JX’s company, in the end JX understands about HT’s real intention for her company.
+ The communication between JX & HT. Once again, although there’s some misunderstanding between JX & HT, I really like how in the end JX communicates what she dislikes about HT’s behavior & intention. And how HT starts to fix what he lacks…
+ The growth of JX. We can watch how JX blooms to amazing women on our screen.
+ The growth of ZZ. At the beginning of the drama, ZZ was indeed not so ‘mature’, but when he took care of the business & when JX left he started his own maturity & till the end proved that he can be relied on.
+ Lili is a complex yet interesting woman. I really adore her when she can cut loose YX & later just treat him as a fellow businessman. She knows what she wants & she grabs it fully with her heart. & she proves herself as a worthy companion & true friend for JX.
+ Xiao Yi Xiao (YX). XY adores Lili & wants to be with her. But he is also a mature man that knows what he wants & not. & I really like him when he dares to tell Lili the truth about what he wants for their relationship.
+ Lu Lin Jia (LJ) is a childish man. But when he set his heart to the right place he bloomed & became a man that knew his responsibility. I love his relationship with his mom. His mom is also one adorable mom…
+ Shao Yi Chen (YC). Oh I adore him when he can let go of his ego, feeling & decided to break up with JX. He knows JX is not fit for his future & aside from how long his relationship & his own feelings with JX he dares to break up, that’s really adorable…
+ Wei Qiu Zi. She’s one good friend. Although she’s long crush on YC, she never really acts on it. Until YC & JX broke up. Although I’m sure many condemn her behavior. But for me, when you have a long crush (serious crush not just puppy love or admiration) with your best friend boyfriend & can wait calmly and not act anything harmful to your friend or their relationship. That’s something you have to admire.
+ Tang Song (TS) [Han Ting's assistant]. Oh this one very capable assistant. Not many in dramas have I seen an assistant as capable as TS. Usually, it’s either become friendly with ML or they just simply never told us the story. The assistant is sometimes just like an unimportant character in the background.
What I don’t like:
- JX is a childish woman sometimes. She ‘eats’ fully what Zeng Di (ZD) said & not trust HT in the end. But yeah I understand the manipulation that ZD did.
- ZD. UGH…. I hate that woman. She is one stupid woman that doesn't want to let her ambition & feelings for HT. She can’t even see one nice guy in front of her, although he already gives her his real intention.
Overall this is really one good business romance drama with many interesting characters to be told…

In the Beiyuan Kingdom, a dark and tragic curse looms over the royal family: every emperor dies young. Because of this, being named Crown Prince isn’t an honor—it’s a death sentence.And so, the princes do everything they can to avoid the throne.
Xiao He, the eldest prince, plays the role of a lazy, irresponsible playboy—constantly seen partying, flirting, and acting utterly unfit to rule. He’s not really useless—he’s just faking it perfectly.
While Xiao He plays the role of a “messy playboy,” the second prince, Xiao Yu, adopts a more refined version of uselessness. He pretends to be fragile and sickly—coughing on cue, fainting at banquets, always needing rest. By appearing physically "unfit" to rule, he ensures the Emperor will never pick him to be the next successor. But behind closed doors, he’s strong, sharp, and fully capable.
Then there’s Xiao Mo, the third prince—the only one who actually wants the crown. Eager and ambitious, he sees his brothers’ “failings” as proof that he should be chosen. He constantly tries to prove himself the most competent. In his constant attempts to prove his worth, he unknowingly plays right into his brothers’ plans to stay out of power.
What the princes don’t realize is that their father, the Emperor, sees through all of their schemes. After all, he was once a prince himself—terrified of the throne and the curse that comes with it. Unbeknownst to them, the Emperor has his own plan for choosing a successor.
That plan begins with Fu Qi, a spirited and clever princess from Dongling Kingdom, who arrives in Beiyuan for a political marriage alliance. However, her reason for accepting the marriage is far more personal than diplomacy.
Fu Qi’s father, the King of Dongling, has been stripped of his power and is effectively under the control of a corrupt and powerful Prime Minister. To reclaim her kingdom, Fu Qi needs external political influence and military backing—something only a powerful marriage alliance can provide.
To make that happen, Fu Qi becomes the ‘Lucky Princess’ that makes sure her husband becomes Crown Prince. And the "lucky" prince chosen? Xiao He, the eldest prince.
So now, the game shifts.
Fu Qi must turn the kingdom’s biggest slacker into its next heir—no matter how much he resists.
Now the questions:
> Who will succeed in the end?
Will Xiao He successfully avoid the crown at all costs, or will Fu Qi manage to push him onto the throne, whether he likes it or not?
> What about the curse itself?
Is it truly real—or is there something far more sinister behind it?
> And what of Xiao He and Fu Qi’s relationship?
Will their marriage remain a political partnership, or will genuine love grow between them?
> And finally—what will happen to the Dongling Kingdom?
Will Fu Qi succeed in restoring her father to power?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers.
Overall for short dramas this is really interesting. A very unique story, usually we get the prince that put the dagger into their brother just for the throne, but this one we get the reverse act. We also get a complete plot with clear beginning, middle & end.
In the end this short drama is really worth your time to watch…

So much hype about this drama on the feed. Let's check this out.The story is about Wu Qi Qiong (QQ), a young man from a poor family. QQ gets dumped by his girlfriend, Yue Yue (YY), simply because of his background. Not only that—YY who’s now dating a rich guy, repeatedly insults and even assaults QQ together with her new lover.
In one of these encounters, QQ is injured and ends up at a private clinic run by Dr. Guo Cheng Yu (CY). CY treats him, and they become friends. QQ also starts living at the clinic.
Humiliated and heartbroken, QQ decides to reinvent himself. He changes his name to Wu Suo Wei (SW) and vows to reclaim his dignity. He dreams of rebuilding his life and launching his own business one day, not for money, but to reclaim his dignity.
As SW steps into this new chapter, he frequently crosses paths with Chi Cheng (CC), the spoiled heir to a powerful family business. When SW finds out that CC is now dating his ex, YY, he decides to take revenge—by seducing CC himself.
Even though SW has no interest in men, he commits to the plan. He even asks CY for advice on how to seduce another man.
But here’s the twist: **CC is actually gay.** He’s only dating YY to keep his parents off his back. And truthfully, he’s been interested in SW from the very beginning. And so begins a playful yet dangerous game of cat and mouse between them.
As SW spends more time with CC, he begins to see the real man behind the cold, arrogant façade. CC isn’t just a privileged heir; he’s trapped, lonely, and hiding who he truly is.
And before SW realizes it… To his own surprise, his feelings begin to shift. What started as a game of revenge slowly turns into something real—something romantic.
So, how will this unexpected love story unfold?
Will CC’s family accept them—or will they face serious opposition?
And also…
What happens when CC finds out why SW first got close to him?
Will CC be hurt? Angry? Will CC be able to forgive SW—or will it tear them apart?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ How cdrama finally dared to put BL drama into the air…
+ The interesting story of the 2nd couple, CY & Jiang Xiao Shuai (XS)
+ Interesting friendships between CC & XS or SW & CY
+ interesting choices of names. You can read more in https://kisskh.at/discussions/793270-revenged-love/142836-the-hidden-meaning-behind-the-names-in-revenged-love
What I don't like:
- Interesting concepts. But quite lacking in implementation. Especially in the end. It feels like they skip a few steps ahead.
Overall I feel this is more like an overhyped drama…

Hm... Where should I even begin this...Story about Archaeological expert Professor Chen who discovered a jade pendant. Since he discovered this jade pendant, he started having dream about a girl and a general.
In this dream, the girl [Meng Yun(MY)] is running from a man (Huduna). Later we find out that Huduna is a king who wants to married MY. Huduna wanted to merried MY not only because she's pretty, but because MY also hold the key to greater treasure that been kept by Great Shaman.
In the real world, Professor Chen also try to discovered this treasure. But of course not because he wants to keep it for himself, but to give it to the country and to learn about this missing history. So how the treasure hunt ends...?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Great landscape. Especially in the end
+ Good acting skill. Jackie chan movie never disappointed me with their character acting skill and combat scene.
What I don't:
- Quite boring story. This basically remake of myth with a little different story.
- The joke on the AI generated face. They try to make Jackie Chan younger but this one of the the bad results of the failed CGI. From the comment, the younger general is played by Zheng Ye Cheng. Such unfortunates for Zheng Ye Cheng.
Overall just watch if you're the fans of the actor/ess played here
