Don't waste your time with this drama - Stupid Plot
Accidentally Meow on You - After watching 7 episodes, I am dropping this drama. The plot is stupid, and I could not believe that Xing Zhao Lin and Hu Bing Qing took on this project.Xing Zhao Lin is being typed cast as well. He has been playing the same cold, arrogant CEO who gave his employee a hard time and eventually fell in love with them.
I hope his future projects will be something different to expand his acting skills, similar to Hu Bing Qing.
I am giving this drama a 4.0 rating because I like the actor and actress but not this stupid story.

It has time travel element but the plot is too dull and too boring to continue wasting my time.
Initially, I was not interested in watching "Winter Night" since there was nothing too exciting going on in Cdrama after Hidden Love (which I love), so I decided to try this drama. I have watched 12 episodes on Prime Video. I was so disappointed with the plot, and this was not the best drama for Qiao Xin (Bridgette Qiao). The character she played in this role was not good, and it downgraded her acting ability.I liked her better in previous dramas like (The Autumn Balad, Dream Garden, You Complete Me, and The Ordinary Glory). Still, I did not like her character Zheng Da Qian in this drama.
Her onscreen chemistry with Kiddo Ma was not good because I don't like his character either. It is time travel, but it was confusing, and too much dysfunctional going on between her and her friends and family that it was hard to watch.
I am dropping it and giving it a 4.5 rating. I can no longer stand to continue to watch the same bickering that is going on in each episode.

Another boring and lengthy Xian Xia drama even it has awesome actor.
I am dropping The Longest Promise with Xiao Zhan and Ren Min after 10 episodes. I don't like the Xian Xia genre; I have tried many times (TTEOTM, TJOCZ, etc.) and dropped all of them. It is not a genre that I am into.Xiao Zhan is a good actor, but to pair him up with an FL who is not as high caliber as him is a waste of his talents. I can't stand the dubbing voice of the FL character either because it was the same dubbing voice for other FL actresses that I ended up dropping all of those Xian Xia dramas.
The special effect is good, but to see the heavenly realm and monster in a fantasy setting is not my thing. The pace of the drama is also too slow that it did not lure me in. I don't want to waste my time since it is 40 episodes long.
I give it a 5.0 rating because of the bad acting on the FL, which is too slow, boring, and long.
I am rooting for Xiao Zhan and Zhao Lusi in a historical or contemporary drama together. They are both good actors.

Boring script with no on-screen chemistry between the main CP. Don't waste your time.
"The Legend of AnLe" is a Wuxia drama about revenge starring Dilraba Dilmurat as Ren An Le/Di Zi Yuan and Gong Jun as the crown Prince Han Ye.Synopsis: Di Zi Yuan seeks revenge after her family was falsely accused of treason ten years ago and beheaded according to the emperor's edict. As the sole survivor, she changes her name to Ren An Le and schemes her way into the court. She admires Crown Prince Han Ye's concern for his people's welfare. While slowly developing feelings for him, she remains haunted by her past, unable to dismiss the enmity between their two families. The crown prince, Han Ye, driven by his deep love for Di Zi Yuan, vows to resolve their differences at any cost.
Review: I have watched 11 episodes, and the pace of the drama is very slow. It did not lure or engage me, and I found it quite boring. In addition, the onscreen chemistry between Gong Jun and Dilraba was not great. When Dilraba's character tries to flirt with him, Gong Jun seems quite stiff.
The acting of the main CP was so awkward and bad that I lost interest in continuing with this drama, and nothing special about the story either. Especially many other WuXia and/or Xian Xia dramas are more interesting, like Lost You Forever and Mysterious Lotus Casebook, making this one a loser.
I give it a 5.0, and I am dropping this drama. I liked Gong Jun in Begin Again with Zhou Yu Tong (Together, they have great chemistry.) I am disappointed with his acting in other dramas post-Begin Again, similar to Dilraba; last year, I could not pass episode 1 of Blue Whisper: part 1, and I didn't bother with part 2.

The drama started out interesting but gotten stupid and draggy as the story progressed
Warm on a Cold Night, after watching 15 episodes, I can no longer continue. The story started-out interesting and somewhat funny; however, it was unbearable to watch as it progressed. It is draggy, repetitive, and boring. The onscreen chemistry between Li Yi Tong and Bi Wen Jun is not great.Li Yi Tong is a decent actress, but for some reason, I could not finish dramas where she played an FL in any drama because of the characters she played in those dramas.
This is my 11th drama with her (both as FL and 2nd FL); I first liked her in Blossom in Heart with Deng Lun, and I dropped 50% of her dramas, especially the most recent ones.
The story of Warm on a Cold Night is so stupid, and her character is very annoying because of too much whining.
I am giving it a 4.5 rating.

There is no shortcut in life, you made stupid mistakes, you have to pay the consequences
Ten Years is 24 episodes starring Gala Zhang and Zhang Ya Qin. The onscreen chemistry between the main CP is not good.The entire ensemble is bad; the main CP and the supporting cast cannot act separately and together. It is a good lesson for young people to know that finding a shortcut to make a lot of money does backfire on you. In Wang Ran's case, she put herself in a stupid and non-compromise situation where she was raped because she was drunk and voluntarily came to the villain's house alone. How stupid was that? She had herself to blame.
I watched 11 episodes already, and I don't want to continue with it even though it is only 24 episodes with 30 minutes per episode. I give it a 4.5 rating because of the bad acting and the stupid plot.

Don't waste your time. Nothing special about this drama. Boring as hell.
You Are My Secret is a modern business drama about Tu Xiao Ning and Ji Yu Heng. In it, they enter a fake marriage to avoid being pressured by their parents into getting married. They worked together in the same company, so they had to hide their relationship from their co-workers.I dropped it after 13 episodes because it was so slow and draggy. Miles Wei is being cast to play the same role. His onscreen chemistry with the FL was not great, either.
The script was so boring, and the acting did not excite me to continue.
Synopsis: The lobby manager, Tu Xiao Ning, who works on the first floor of Huayuan Tower, is in a crucial probation period. Ji Yu Heng, a talented young man working on the seventeenth floor of the tower, is a rising star in the business. They share a common desire to get married as soon as possible, and this is where two parallel lines intersect. In Xiao Ning's eyes, Yu Heng exceeds expectations as a marriage partner. In Yu Heng's eyes, the youthful Xiao Ning once illuminated his life, and marrying her is his only firm choice. As the two muster the courage to establish their marital relationship, Yu Heng unexpectedly becomes Xiao Ning's superior. Through a twist of fate, these childhood friends from ten years ago are in a dual relationship as colleagues and newlyweds. They work together to explore the meaning of marriage and life, a journey many of us can relate to.
My Reviews:
1. This drama is so bad and boring. The plot is stupid, and the main CP's acting did not excite me enough to continue.
2. It's a typical genre that Miles Wei has been in, where he plays a nice and lovable guy.
3. The onscreen chemistry between the Main CP is non-existent.
4. I have watched 13 episodes and am dropping it because it is boring.
Overall, not good. I give it a 4.5 rating.

After watching 16 episodes, I got bored because the pace is too slow, draggy, and repititive
Follow Your Heart, a historical costume drama featuring Leo Luo and Song Yi didn't interest me. After 16 episodes, I was annoyed by the pace, impatience to continue, and lackluster chemistry between the lead characters. It is also slow, draggy, and repetitive, with the same themes about crime investigations.Synopsis: The series tells the romantic love story of Jiang Xin Bai, a cold and aloof prince suffering from face blindness who is determined to eliminate the "Zornia grass" from the world, and Yan Nan Xing, a passionate female traveling doctor whose appearance changes often due to a curse during the full moon each month. Together, they journey through the martial world, experiencing a fated love. Through the process, these two strong yet lonely individuals overcome numerous obstacles and jointly uphold justice. They show the true meaning of love—that while appearances are important, they cannot surpass the connection of hearts.
My Reviews:
1. The pace of the storyline was too slow, draggy, and repetitive.
There were a few comedic moments, but nothing exciting to lure me to continue.
2. The online chemistry between the lead characters needed to be improved. I like Leo Lou's onscreen chemistry with Bai Lu (Love is Sweet) better than any other actresses he paired up with.
3. I love Leo Luo. He is a good actor, but ever since Love is Sweet, I have not been able to finish any of his other dramas since 2022, like Love is Panecea, Light Chaser Rescue, and Till the End of the Moon (because episode 16 ruined the entire drama for me, so I dropped it)
4. He needs to have better scripts and pairing.
I am dropping this drama and give it a 6.5 rating.

After 18 episodes, I can no longer continue with it. Bad script and too boring with legal jargon
I am dropping Prosecution Elite after 18 episodes in; the pace is too slow, and too much legal jargon that makes it dull to watch.Dilraba was not convincing as a lawyer; her makeup was too white, and she came across as weak and less confident.
Her character and onscreen chemistry with Tong Da Wei is okay. I like Tong Da Wei and Dilraba separately. Still, in this drama, their characters do not collide romantically. They wanted to make things more suspenseful by adding a country F; WTF with that name, and it was not cool.
I give it a 5.0 rating and drop it.

The drama is too long to have investigative plot for 55 episodes. Dropping it.
Under the Power was recommended by my friend, so I started watching it, and I am dropping it after 13 episodes for the following reasons:1. It is too long, 55 episodes.
2. It is too long to watch the lead CP investigate corruption/mysterious murder for that long without any other twist.
3. I love Seven Tan but think Allen Ren is not good. He is a one-dimensional actor with the same facial expression for every emotional or non-emotional scene.
4. The pairing of them is not that great.
Nowadays, I have no patience for anything over 40 episodes unless it is split into two parts or has great plots and good pairing CP like Who Rules the World or Love like the Galaxy, or the Rebel Princess (which has 68 episodes, and the acting is good.)

If you enjoy food then watch this drama, else don't bother. Bad acting and bad script.
The Corner of the World is Dinner is a modern drama about three roommates and how they overcome life's adversities through a good meal at dinner time.The only thing good about this drama is the food they eat and the way they enjoy it. The rest is unappealing, and the acting is subpar across the entire cast.
Synopsis: Three girls with completely different professions, personalities, and schedules live together under the same roof, but they have one thing in common: no matter what conflicts or problems they encounter in life, love, or work, they will cook when night falls. The three of them get together to have a serious dinner. For them, every day's problems seem to be solved after dinner.

Another hit drama for Zhao Lusi, an excellent actress of her generation
Love Ambition is a modern drama about two ambitious and conniving people whose marriage is based on fakes and lies. It stars Zhao Lusi and William Chan. I adore Zhao Lusi and have been eagerly awaiting the release of this drama. Finally, without any promotion from Tencent, it dropped in late September. It broke so many records, a testament to Zhao Lusi's talents.I love the drama, and the supporting cast performed well, too. Zhao Lusi not only did her own makeup and selected the wardrobes for the drama, but her acting in this drama also stretched significantly because of Xu Yan's character. Kudos to you, Zhao Lusi, for your talent.
Synopsis: The glamorous anchor Xu Yan and urban elite Shen Hao Ming are an enviable couple, but their differing backgrounds create tension in their relationship. Xu Yan marries Shen Hao Ming through her carefully crafted image and his influence. After a conflict, Xu Yan breaks free, only for Shen Hao Ming to realize he has always loved her and vows to win her back. Over time, they shed their facades, grow closer, and rediscover each other and themselves.

A Refresh look at China's modernization of the manufacturing industry in the 90s.
Created in China is a modern business drama about the rise of China's manufacturing industry in the 90s, starring Zhang Xin Cheng and Song Er. The acting and on-screen chemistry between Zhang Xin Cheng and Song Er were good. It was great to see the struggles, the rise, and the fall of doing business in China, where Lin Jun wanted to modernize it, but faced resistance from the old generation.One of the disappointments of this drama is that Song Er's character, Cui Bing Bing, did not appear until the midpoint of the drama.
Synopsis: In the late 1990s, Liu Jun, who studied in Germany, returned to his hometown of Donghai. Following the tide of the times, he is determined to modernize his father's old machinery factory with leading technology. As a private enterprise, Liu Jun struggles to secure capital, establish connections, and acquire technology. However, his friend Qian Hong Ming's import and export businesses, as well as his real estate ventures, are flourishing at this time, and the two come to look out for each other. Liu Jun becomes acquainted with Yang Xun through technology, yet their falling out is also a result of the same. Fortunately, Song Yun Hui, the head of the Donghai Group, favors Liu Jun and provides strong backing for the development of the Tengfei Factory. Despite his skills, Liu Jun remains down-to-earth as he adapts to the local environment while attempting to break through technical barriers. While working hard to complete the transformation of the Tengfei Factory, Liu Jun comes to realize his own value. Tengfei Factory also strives to lead the torrent of China's manufacturing industry.

Started out good but as it progressed into other cases, I found it draggy and boring.
Endless Protection is a legal drama about a set of lawyers in a police department trying to protect against hideous crimes against children.The drama started out well when they were first dealing with bullying and crime, which ended with a teenager committing suicide. As it progressed into other cases, I found it draggy and boring.
Synopsis: Focusing on the judicial protection of minors, it tells the story of the founding of the juvenile prosecution team, prosecutor Lin Zhi Tao and assistant prosecutor Bai En Yu, who join hands to fight against the evil of human nature for the sake of children. It starts with suspense and ends with redemption, clearing away confusion. The mountains stop, and the rivers flow.

Better Xianxia script than the typical ones; however, I found it boring and draggy.
A Moment, but Forever is an Xianxia costume drama starring Tiffany Tang and Liu Xueyi. This is not a typical Xianxia where immortals are fighting demons. The script focused more on the relationship between Ji Tan Yin and Yuan Zhong. Although it incorporated elements from the heavenly and demon realms, the plot and pace are more human-centric and less reliant on CGI and special effects, unlike other Xianxia dramas.I didn't like the pace of the drama. I found it slow and draggy. I watched it at 2x speed, and the on-screen chemistry between Tiffany Tang and Liu Xueyi was awkward. I think Tiffany Tang should not participate in idol dramas, especially those of the Xianxia type. She is too old for this type of role. She should focus more on modern dramas that fit her age range, something dramatic that stretches her acting ability.
Synopsis: To retrieve the Heavenly Realm's treasure, Goddess Wu Shuang descends to Earth to assassinate Yuan Zhong, the high priest of the Youhu Clan. In the process, Wu Shuang discovers other secrets, and the two fall in love and join hands to save the world. In the war between gods and demons, the artifact "God's Left Hand," which Heavenly God Taihe uses to seal the demon, is severed and falls into the Mortal Realm. Taihe and the other gods fall into an eternal slumber, and the Mortal Realm hasn't had a miracle ever since.
