Romance in Sports and Sports in Romance
I watched this drama because of the FL. She's gorgeous. I have watched several of her dramas. She is also a good actress who is versatile.What I Enjoyed:
- The FL shone in this drama.
- I liked the plot. There were sporting events going on and whenever there were competitions, it was fun to watch.
- I liked the FL and the supporting cast, in general. FL's male companion, Wu Ze, was a nice guy. Li Ge turned out to be very funny and even endearing. I really liked how clueless Coach Yang was and his reactions when he realised that FL and ML were dating. Watching him pace up and down, at a total loss for words, was hilarious. Da Xia was endearing. Mao Mao Qi turned out to be quite cute too.
- I liked that things moved at a fairly good pace and that it was not draggy.
- Happy ending.
- OST matched the different parts of the story.
What I Didn't Enjoy So Much:
- The ML was kind of cute but he was too immature and too clingy and too whiny and too jealous. Yes, I understood that he was the young hot-blooded lover but he was really quite immature.
Overall, I enjoyed this drama and I'd recommend it to others. It is a light watch that's entertaining. :)

Of piercing gazes and steadfast love.
I was hesitant to watch this drama despite the good reviews that I read as, TBH, the title was a little odd. However, now that I have watched it, the title makes perfect sense and is apt!What I enjoyed:
- ML and FL had chemistry and they carried the drama well.
- Plot was quite intriguing on the whole. I was riveted and I kept wanting to know what would happen next. Plot moved along quite fast. Some lines of the drama were "da bomb" and meaningful.
- This was my first time watching the ML and I must say that he has charisma. He had a brooding and yet, piercing gaze. I liked his role as a super confident dude simply because he knew his own capabilities and he knew that he was remarkably talented and smart. He also had the work ethics to boot.
- I liked that the two leads only had eyes and feelings for each other. They were true to each other.
- I liked the whole bunch of people from Flying Heart Company. They were funny enough. I liked how they ended up supporting ML and FL.
- I liked the supportive female friends in the form of Ren Di and Fang Shu Miao. I liked that there was no b*tch in this drama and that Xu Li Na turned out to be endearing.
- I liked that the drama was pretty realistic on the whole. For instance, I liked how FL's parents were portrayed because it added realism.
- The starting track was dramatic and well-composed. I have been listening to it! The other songs as part of the OST were nice too. The songs fitted the different parts of the drama.
- I liked that the story had a happy enough ending and that everything wrapped up quite nicely.
What I didn't enjoy:
- Oh, I hated Gao Jian Hong and Fang Zhi Jing. They were total scumbags. I hated them to the core. I hated how they were so insecure and instead of using proper and ethical ways to better themselves, they chose to step on others to climb up.
- It was heartbreaking to see how ML lost his loved ones - parents and sister. I hated his brother-in-law.
Overall, this drama is pretty excellent and I highly recommend it! :o)

For Han Dong Jun
My reason for picking this drama to watch was simple - the leading man, Han Dong Jun. He's gorgeous. I watched him in 'Siege in Fog' and charmed I was. On the whole, I enjoyed this drama.Thumbs-Up for:
- The leading man, but of course. He is tall, handsome, very deliciously charming.
- The FL is pretty cute.
- I like that ML and FL behave in a mature manner. Once they have decided to get together, they have (in general) open conversations and behave like mature and sensible adults. They understand that the other party is a unique individual and with personal goals to achieve. They support each other and do not get in each other's climb up the corporate ladder by being petty and silly. I truly like that they behave like two mature adults who love each other and want to make their relationship work out.
- The second FL is pretty cute too.
- I like that the motivations of different people are gradually explained as the show goes on and that hatchets are buried.
- I like the relationship between the 'sisters' - FL and second FL. I like that they genuinely love and care for the other party without interfering unnecessarily.
- Happy ending though fairly cliched.
- The OST is great. I like the jazzy feel and tunes.
Thumbs-Down:
- Watching the crazily obsessed boyfriend in the form of Xi Jia Bai was extremely painful. He appeared extremely neurotic and unhinged.
- The very self-absorbed senior/ tutor of the FL who came across as totally obnoxious and egoistic. He said things that were totally out of line and that were extremely old-fashioned and inappropriate.
- Taking credit for another person's work (but it's the unfortunate 'norm' in workplaces and in life).
Overall, my verdict:
Watch this, especially if you like a mature drama in which the FL and ML are both good-looking and are both committed to each other once they have formally confessed their genuine feelings to each other. The romance between the two feels real and they have chemistry. Their relationship is an 'urban romance' in which two people try their best to make their mark at work while juggling a romantic relationship.

Cute Cast
This drama came highly recommended by a fellow drama lover and so, I had to watch it too. Great drama! Loved it!What I Loved:
- The FL was perfectly cast. She had to be cute and yet, not pretentious. She had to be direct/ forward and yet, not annoying. FL was perfect for her role and she was quite a joy to watch from start to finish.
- I liked how the FL is cute and yet, sassy. She was not a pushover and she made sense even when it was her own view. I like strong female leads with spines.
- This is a high school / growing up drama and so, there was not a lot of hot and sexy sizzle between the FL and ML but the FL and ML looked pretty good together. All was good.
- I liked that FL and ML were very sincere about each other and did not play pointless games.
- The supporting cast was cute too. Everyone played significant enough roles. I found Guan Fang strangely funny. I also found his relationship with his granny very endearing. I also liked seeing how FL and her bestie were sincere and tight besties. (I hate insincerity in reel life and in real life.)
- Happy ending. Cliched but I liked it. Things came full circle.
What I Did Not Like Very Much - Very Minor Grouses:
- I found the first part when they were 16 and in freshman year a very long stretch. Thereafter, from 18 onwards, everything seemed to move a little too fast (compared to the first part). Perhaps pacing could have been a bit more even? Just IMO.
- ML did not have much expression but I also understood that it was his role/ character in the drama.
- Gu Ran should have let Jiang Jia know about how he felt and all the different actions of love and affection.
Overall, this drama was fast-paced enough in that things moved along. There aren't annoying villains who spoil the show. The sole "love rival" could not defeat the FL in any way. She was not a threat at all.
This drama was a fun watch for me! :o) Definitely go for it!

Organic Relationship after a slightly roughish start
This drama is highly rated and so, I gave it a go. I was worried that it would be a little "too young" for me but I was pleasantly surprised by how relatable and cute the drama was.What I liked:
- The conflicts were resolved fairly quickly. No one tried being noble idiot (other than Xie Ang and Mian Mian). Their relationships were all pretty normal and relatable. "Slice of life" like. I liked that conflicts were fairly swiftly resolved and not long-drawn out over many episodes.
- The actors and actresses were newbies but they acted earnestly and were adorable enough.
- The ML and FL were truly into each other which was nice to see. The FL was chummy with Qin Kai but she was never coquettish or improper. She appeared to truly treat Qin Kai well as a good friend which was nice to see. Qin Kai did not over-step his boundaries either. He really liked FL but he was not crazy like some other actors can be in some dramas.
- The growth of the characters from teenagers to young adults was nice to see.
- The ending was a cliched but happy one and so, I was a happy camper.
What didn't impress me much:
- The ML and FL did not have much sizzle. Sure, they looked pretty good together but I would not describe their being together as "hot" or "sizzling". They were a very ordinary "hmm, okay" couple.
- Xie Ang and Mian Mian did not have a healthy relationship from the beginning or at all. However, they realised that they had to work on their relationship and make things better if they truly wanted to be together. They did not communicate clearly with each other. I think the lesson that viewers can take away from here is that for relationships to work, both parties need to communicate pleasantly and considerately to each other.
Overall, this is a pretty decent drama with newbies in it. I'd say: Watch. But, there's nothing much to re-watch. No withdrawal symptoms after the show is done and dusted.

#thestruggleisreal as an ordinary life is hard
Let me dive right in to what I enjoyed about this drama (which is quite a bit).What I liked:
- Excellent acting from the entire cast, especially the main cast. They were truly believable in their roles. Eventually, I really liked Lawyer Du and Lawyer Yi. They made sense and they showed how they turned out to be the way they were when we met them in the show. For the other characters like the trainee lawyers, Pan Yan and Shu Yi Nan, it was nice to see their growth. Growth is usually challenging and deeply uncomfortable.
- There are two sides to a coin and there are many sides in a multi-faceted world. The cases presented were simple and yet, complicated; complicated and yet, simple. It is hard to get past all the emotions which cloud one's judgement. The head and the heart sometimes find it hard to be friends.
- The drama truly depicted the ordinariness of life -- the petty fights, the ridiculousness of situations, the bizarreness of life, the confusion of life, the stark differences in perspectives, the irreconcilable differences, the love which turned to hate...
- Some parts of the plot were draggy... perhaps to showcase the ordinariness of day to day life and how mundane it can be and how tiring it can be.
- Most times, the drama delivered by solving cases fairly quickly and by keeping things going. The drama was fairly riveting.
What I didn't like:
- Zuo Na's parents cased dragged for way too long and her mother was a pain. She just dilly-dallied and wanted this and did not want this and changed her mind and changed her mind again... it was not fun to watch. However, this may be the whole point. Life isn't straightforward. Life isn't an equation that can be easily solved.
- I did not like the cases about fighting for the son because he's a boy and he carries on the family name etc. However, I understand that in society, this is the case for countless fights.
- I found the Zuo Na's family issue to be exceedingly saddening for her. She turned out to be as strong as can be despite the many f-up things in her life -- father wanting to divorce mother, father being with best friend and fathering a child with a young girl (who is his daughter's age, annoying uncle etc.
- There were unpleasant and unlikable characters but, isn't life like this?
Overall, I'd rate this as a good watch because of the very fine acting from the cast. They made the show shine. They also spoke really well and I enjoyed listening to them speak. Some lines from the script were witty and meaningful. This a drama that is, perhaps, more suitable for mature viewers. I liked it!

Dramatic "Mini" Drama
I chanced upon this on YouTube and went forth with it. After all, it is a relatively easy watch since there are only 20 episodes and each episode is roughly 10 to 12 minutes long.What I like about this drama:
- I like the idea of a competent and intelligent FL trying to make the ML her man instead of the usual cliché whereby a powerful CEO et cetera alpha-male tries to dominate a damsel in distress.
- The FL is quite cute. However, she does not make me doubt that she can get her job done and have her man too. This is a short drama and so, don't expect too much. But for a short drama, I find that she's quite a believable character.
- The ML is all right. I like that both ML and FL are true towards each other.
- This mini series tries its best to be as dramatic as possible in a short frame of time and I think it has succeeded. Many little things are going on. There is a bit of mystery and such. I like that things move along fast because there is no time to waste in a mini series like this one.
- The drama tries its best to tie everything up and I appreciate this.
- The ending is a happy one.
What I don't like so much:
- The second ML really needs a shave. He looks dirty and kind of like a sleaze-ball.
- The second ML's sidekick has issues.
Overall, I like this mini series that can easily be binged. It's a nice morsel to have while searching for a larger treat. :)

Great Actors + Great Acting + Great Plot = Enjoyable Watch :)
I was looking forward to this drama after knowing that Leo Wu would be starring in it. It is quite obvious that I am quite a fan of this fine, young actor. Leo Wu can act so well. It is not a dread but a joy to watch him on screen. (Some actors cannot even be called actors as they cannot act at all.) Leo Wu is truly a fine, young actor and having watched different dramas in which he has starred in, I must say that he adds sparkle to these dramas because he is truly in character and very believable as the character that he is acting as.What I liked about this drama:
- Fine acting from everyone in this drama especially the ML and FL.
- I liked that their relationship developed quite organically and that it was not forced or super one-sided. Rather, both parties fell in love and truly liked each other. What held them back was their 10 year age gap which is actually quite a large age difference. I liked that the drama explored this topic openly and pointed out that there would be challenges due to this pretty large age gap. I also liked that they decided that they would face the challenges together. The relationship was treated quite maturely and thoughtfully.
- Liang Tao ended up not being a hateful b*tch which I appreciated a lot. The sisters ended up helping each other and looking out for each other despite having different mothers. I was quite heartwarming. I liked that their relationship was realistically portrayed too.
- An Cong, ML's "father", was such a nice man. He looked out for his "son" and provided some comic relief.
- The drama showcased the difficulties faced by sportspeople and how they really challenge themselves physically for the sake of their sport. The "shelf-life" of sportspeople is short and this point was highlighted by the drama.
- The supporting cast members, like the coach, FL's best friend and other sportspeople, were great in the drama (but not-so-memorable).
- Intelligent and realistic script/ plot with some very meaningful lines.
- Happy ending.
What I disliked about this drama:
- Jiang Jie was an enigmatic man and an as*hole. As FL pointed out, he wanted everyone and everything to go his way and to have things revolve around him but well, sadly, people have their own minds and ideas. He was forcing his will on others which was painful and annoying to watch. He wore one utterly "done with life" resigned look throughout the drama which was a pain to watch. I did not like seeing him on my screen. I cheered when his wife finally decided that she wanted out from this man.
- The middle-aged men in this drama were power hungry and manipulative people. Well, I guess this is how things are in the working world where it is cut-throat.
- Jiang Jiao Jiao did not endear himself to me even until the end but he sort of redeemed himself.
To me, the ML and FL lead made this drama work very well. They had natural chemistry and I would totally be able to see them as lovers despite their 10-year age gap. Their excellent acting was wonderful. It was nice to see such easy and effortless interaction and "flow"/ "energy" between all the actors and actresses, especially the ML and FL. I'd say: Please watch this drama! :)

What is happening? And, what happened??
I was drawn to the apparent mystique of this drama after reading the synopsis.After watching it, I must say that it was fairly disappointing. Why?
- The actors and actresses did not seem very good at their craft. The acting was quite a pain to watch.
- The plot made me go "Huh?" and "Why?" and "What's happening?"
- I expected more from the cast and the plot but perhaps it was my expectation that was misplaced because it was a mini drama series and so, nothing more could be done (perhaps).
I still gave this drama a pass as it did entertain me (somewhat) and I felt that the main leads were earnestly trying to act well. I applaud their efforts. To me, the male lead was also quite handsome. LOL! :)
I'd say: Watch if you are curious and watch if you're in the midst of looking for another drama to enjoy.

Sincerity & Pureness of heart.
I plunged right into the drama without much thought and I’m glad that it turned out all right.What I liked:
- The FL and the ML have good chemistry. I really liked that ML was sincere in his affections and love for the FL right from the start. He wasn’t a player.
- The female characters in this drama are likable. No one is a full on bitch (other than 4th mistress) which is so great. The female characters support one another and help one another.
- I like that this drama focuses on overthrowing dated stereotypes and ridiculous ‘norms’. Eg: women should not show their faces outside. Women should stay home and be dutiful wives and mothers. Women should this. Women shouldn’t this. I, personally, don’t think it’s a woman or a man thing. It’s a person thing. Avoid gender stereotypes and look at a person as a person (not just as female or a male). Don’t have erroneous preconceived notions of what men / women should be like. No such thing! I like that the show tries to overthrow these unreasonable and outdated ‘norms’.
- The drama also talks about post partum depression and about how to take care of an expectant mother. Women don’t have easy lives and it’ll be so much better if women had supportive partners/ men/ family members etc. People should support people. Lift one another up with love and courage and compassion.
- Yuan Ying turned out to be so cute. I loved how she was so capable and so by-the-book. She was so cute!
- I liked the relationship which formed between Yuan Ying and Li Wei. So cute! There was no fighting over the same husband. They became sisters.
- The butler Su Shen and the maids were so cute too. I especially love to see Su Shen fussing over Yin Zheng. He’s earnest and comedic.
What I didn’t like:
- Insecure and crazy and incompetent second master.
- Vicious fourth mistress.
Overall, I enjoyed this ‘feel good’ drama with a happy ending. This moved quickly and issues were resolved pretty fast. The first 20-25 episodes were very interesting but it sort of watered down afterwards. Still a good watch. I loved that Yin Zheng was powerful in terms of his martial arts and he loved his wife so much. Pls watch!

Ambitions and Aspirations
I enjoyed watching this drama from the get-go! I found this drama engaging and riveting. I wanted very much to "chase show".What I liked very much:
- From the start when Chi Yan Nei appeared, I didn't dislike him. He was a petty person. He was a spoilt brat and wanted things his way. He was the "chaebol" in this drama too. He had lots of money to be the "mover and shaker". He and his gang were comic relief. Towards the later part of this drama, Chi Yan Nei became my favourite character and I would laugh out loud at this antics that were childish and yet, quite adorably hilarious. I really liked his character (towards the end) in this drama. I liked how he admitted his mistakes and how he tried to make amends by kowtowing four times to Zhao Pan Er in order to apologise for humiliating her for his own entertainment. I liked how he had so much money that he didn't mind wasting it on a restaurant simply because he wanted it and liked it. I liked his hedonistic insistence. I liked that he was authentic (in that he was not devious and not scheming on the whole). I liked that he was his petty self throughout and didn't try to hide his pettiness and his true self. He was humorously child-like.
- I liked Zhao Pan Er despite her flaws and Liu Yi Fei really brought this character to life. Zhao Pan Er wasn't perfect. She had her flaws and her pride. But, she was strong and intelligent. She had ambitions and aspirations which she tried hard to accomplish. She depended mainly on herself and not on others or a man to improve her own situation. I liked how she held her head high and tried her utmost despite her unfavourable circumstances. I liked how she was resourceful and shrewd. She was also a beauty who knew when and how to use her good looks to get her ways. I liked her feminine wiles.
- I liked the sisterhood. San Niang was another female character whom I liked a lot. She was not the best in terms of brains but she could cook! Song Yin Zhang was a pipa genius and with the power of the three women combined, they could overcome challenges and lift one another up. I liked that this drama shows that "with our powers combined, we can do great things together".
- I liked Gu Qian Fan as he was a man of his words. He was dependable and he loved as well as cared truly and deeply. I liked how he turned all "cute puppy" with his lady love and yet, he could be cold-hearted and brutal when dealing with crooks. Swoon! I liked Chen Lian because he seemed naughty and cheeky but oh boy, when "heavy-lifting" was required, he was manly and capable. Swoon too!
- I liked the chemistry of the two leads - Zhao Pan Er and Gu Qian Fan. They had chemistry as lovers and their romance was rather slow-burn yet realistic. I liked that Zhao Pan Er knocked some sense into him by telling him that he did not do anything that he had to feel sorry for as the bad deeds were done by the older generations - their fathers - and had nothing to do with them, the younger generation. They were free to love as long as they loved!
- I liked how wrongs were made right. For instance, Du Chang Feng was a horrific prig at the start of this drama. However, he later became more empathetic and more manly. His romance with San Niang felt warm and believable.
- The King was an intelligent man who wasn't overtly fearsome and power-hungry. He was a little bit of a joker at times. I liked how he truly loved and pampered the Queen and softened her heart and allayed her fears with his comforting words.
- I liked the stellar cast and their acting. Everyone played his/her part very well. I really enjoyed watching the cast showcase their fine acting chops!
- Crooks were dealt with and in general, there was a happy ending. :) Everything panned out well and there was closure.
What I didn't like that much:
- Oh, I detested Ouyang Xu. What a crook! He was a bad seed from the start and he just became worse and worse. There was no positive turning point. He sank deeper and deeper into "the dark side" and instead of being introspective, he blamed others like Zhao Pan Er for his awful fate (which he had actually brought upon himself with his terrible decision-making skills).
- I didn't like Song Yin Zhang that much. I think Jelly Lin suits modern day shows more and she seemed quite out of place in this drama. She became a "better watch" after she suffered more and learnt to depend on herself (and not on unreliable men with no morals). After she had more of a backbone and "found herself and her self-esteem", she was more tolerable.
- I disliked Ouyang Xu's butler. He was a bumbling idiot.
- I disliked San Niang's husband and son. Thankfully, later on, her son redeemed himself.
- I disliked how women were faulted simply for being women. (Still happening till today, sadly.) I disliked seeing how women were at a disadvantage simply for being women. I am all for female empowerment.
- It was torturous to watch Zhao Pan Er going around looking for money when Gu Qian Fan already gave her the money in the form of a bank (pawn) note. Well, there had to be drama (I guess) but it was painful to watch the misunderstanding and the suffering.
What could have been better:
- The happy ending would have been happier if Zhao Pan Er and Gu Qian Fan could have had their wedding too, just like San Niang and Du Chang Feng.
- Explain what happened to Song Yin Zhang's elder sister. Chi Yan Nei wanted to know and I wanted to know to.
Takeaway from this drama:
* Everyone has different sides and not all sides are shown at all times. Some sides are shown only to selected people. Some sides are vulnerable while some sides are tough etc.
* Women should lift one another up and men play a huge part in helping women to achieve equality/ power.
* It is important to play up and play to our strengths. Everyone has different gifts to share with the world. Yin Zhang has her beautiful music while San Niang has her scrumptious cuisine. Zhao Pan Er has a smarts while Zhao Di is a hard worker... ... ... By working together, we can achieve even more than if we work solo.
* It is important to have self-esteem and dignity. It is important to have the will and perseverance to achieve one's goals. It is important to have resilience because life has down and we need to pull ourselves back up. It is important to be real to others for we are all flawed individuals. It is most important to grow and become better versions of ourselves.
I really liked this drama a lot! :)
My verdict: WATCH!! It's 40 episodes of engaging antics and drama and ups and downs and tears and laughter! :)

Cute Couple!
I was surprised by how watchable this drama is. It popped up on my YouTube and I thought I’d give it a go! What a cute as well as entertaining short ride! :)What I liked:
- The FL turned out to be cute and yet not annoying. This drama was the first time I saw her and I was pleasantly surprised by how adorable she was and how natural her interactions with ML was.
- ML seemed to be a newbie actor (I’m not sure) but he acted very well and was manly!
- FL and ML have good chemistry.
- I liked the shenanigans! FL constantly wanted to go to Cold Palace to the bewilderment of everyone else especially the ML.
It was a fast and entertaining ride! I liked it so much that I moved on to the second season. :)

A very enjoyable short ride!
This drama is a very entertaining little filler drama of sorts. It’s very short at 4 episodes on YouTube and just about 50 minutes per episode.I found this drama a fun joyride because:
- It was super fast-paced. I thought that I was watching the drama on 1.25 speed or even 1.5 speed at the rate the drama was unfolding and progressing.
- The FL and the ML had good chemistry. I liked that they liked each other from the time that they had set eyes on each other.
- It was fairly low on angst and it was more about laughs and feeling good.
- The plump fellow - Da Wan - was total comic relief and so funny. Very cute.
- Happy Ending. Sweet. :)
In short, this drama is a very easy watch. The actors and actresses seem quite green and so, aren’t the most polished but everyone has to start somewhere and through this drama, they showed their earnestness in acting. Watch this for a quick joyride! It’s pretty fun!

the woman is so flawed (just like everyone else in real life I guess)
The rating for this drama is 8/10 which to me, means that this drama is good enough to be watched / enjoyed.I felt that the drama was fairly good in that the plot moved along. Things wete pretty fast-paced. The storyline was watchable.
This is the first time I am watching the female lead act and while she’s a fairly good actress, I didn’t like her very much. She seemed very fake in her interactions with others. Her smile looked very artificial and was rather irksome to watch. She didn’t seem to have a very good eye for men and she didn’t seem to know what she wanted for herself and her life. Perhaps, the drama wanted to show us that we are quite like her—bungling through life. Most of us, perhaps all of us, don’t have our lives all sorted out and we make plenty, I repeat plenty, of mistakes.
Episodes 1-19 are quite good. Episode 20 was a ‘nothing’ episode in that it tried to tie up everything - that was about it.
Overall, decent drama to watch. O-K.

3 BFFs
I chanced upon someone’s comment about this drama being very nice indeed and so, I decided that I’d give it a go. After all, it’s just 12 episodes and about 35 minutes per episode. I’m so glad I watched this!What I liked:
- the 3 girls were crazy but still very relatable
- the tight friendship amongst the three where they could count on one another
- friendship where their individuality is recognized and they don’t have to pretend to be someone else
- every episode deals with one thing and every episode feels complete
- slice of life drama which shows that life has up ups and down downs
- leads who are easy on the eyes
- story is fast-paced and actually, rather moving and even meaningful at times
- I was drawn into the show and really wanted to go on from episode to the next
What I didn’t like:
- nothing much other than Choi Si Won’s awful beard - thank goodness he shaved clean later on
Overall, I highly recommend this drama. It’s a slice-of-life fun ride of sorts which, despite some episodes being heavy (about death and serious illness), is a great watch! Watch it!!
