It is a slow burn and boring drama. I can't continuing with it after 9 episodes.

My Reviews:
1. The On-screen chemistry between the main CP is dull and non-existent.
2. The story could be faster and smoother. I am dropping this drama.
3. I lost interest in continuing after 9 episodes.
I give it a 5.0 rating because it is a typical genre that Victoria Song has played over the years since I embarked on Cdrama. The drama was nothing special; she always played a headstrong, career-oriented woman with conflicts with her lover. They broke up and got back together—the same old thing.

I like Shen Yue, but she needs to branch out and stretch her acting talent.
The Comic Bang is a Romantic Comedy drama starring Shen Yue and Wang Jing Xuan. I like Shen Yue, but she has no range. She needs to branch out and stretch her acting talent.She is being typecast into the same role, where she plays a bubbly and aim-to-please character for a clueless and stoic male lead. I watched 5 episodes and dropped it because the plot is so ridiculously stupid and childish.
Synopsis: The mathematics department sophomore, Lu Ye Qi, who is low-key yet extremely good at studying, has an identity that is not known to others – a professional shoujo manhua artist. However, as a science student, he actually lacks certain knowledge of shoujo manga. Lu Ye Qi originally dreamed of becoming a shonen manhua artist. Still, by mistake, he embarked on the road of shoujo manhua. Driven by his passion for manhua, he is determined to see his dream through to the end. The girl who had a crush on him, Zuo Qian Dai, was dragged into his comic team by mistake after her unsuccessful confession.

As the manhua team continues to expand and stabilize, new opportunities and challenges come one after another. Faced with all the unknown difficulties, the team members experienced confusion, doubts, and quarrels. Still, they ultimately fought together to become a cohesive manhua team. They trust and support each other. In the small studio, stories about youth, friendship, and dreams are being told every day.

The story did not lure me in after 8 episodes. Too bad it loaded with good stars.
Judge Dee's Mystery is a historical crime drama loaded with good stars (Elaine Zhong, Wang Li Kun, Zhang Ruo Yun, and Zhou Yi Wei). Still, it did not lure me in because the script was bad, and Zhou Yi Wei did not do well as the main character in this drama.Zhou Yi Wei acted better in The Rebel Princess than in this drama.
The Synopsis:
It tells the legendary story of Di Renjie, known for his crime-solving abilities. Di Renjie has conquered the imperial examinations and awaits his official appointment in Chang'an. However, he was suddenly dispatched by Empress Wu Zetian to a border town where he encounters many mysteries. Di Renjie stands up to the challenge of upholding the duty of the higher judiciary to bring peace and prosperity to the people.
My Reviews:
1. I like Zhou Yi Wei's acting in The Rebel Princess than in this drama.
2. The script is so bad and disappointing when loaded with good stars.
3. I am dropping this drama after 8 episodes.
I give it a 5.0 rating for a horrible script. It is my opinion so don't get angry.

Pretty actor/actress to look at but they can't act and bad script. It didn't lure me in
I am dropping Snow Eagle Lord with Xu Kai and Gulnezer Bextiyar after 4 episodes. I don't like Xian Xia drama; I have tried many times (TTEOTM, TJOCZ, etc.) and dropped all of them. It is not a genre that I am into. In addition, I have not been able to finish any of the historical costume (Wu Xia or Xian Xia) dramas that Xu Kai is in because he cannot act.He has a pretty face and a one-dimension actor, and to team him up with Gulnezer is another pretty face who can't act either.
I give it a 3.0 rating because of the bad acting and Xian Xia genre, where the script was not good.

Sorry but this drama is a flop for me - It did not lure or make me engage into the story.
Unchained Love - I watched 3 episodes already and can't see myself continuing with this drama. Too boring, and I am not a big fan of Dylan Wang or Yukee Chen.I watched Dylan Wang and Yukee Chen separately in their other dramas, and in my opinion, their acting abilities are mediocre. Perhaps it is too early to tell, but their onscreen chemistry was not great. I liked Dylan Wang in Meteor Garden with Shen Yue, but anything after that drama was not good.
Yukee Chen is being typed cast for the same type of role.
I tried, but the ensemble's plot and acting did not engage me. I understand that many people like drama, and I am the exception. I am giving it a 4.0 rating.

Dropping it after 4 episode, the story and acting didn't lure me.

In the end, Mu Di and the members of the folk orchestra took the opportunity to create traditional folk music that is known and loved by many.
Under the influence of Bai Lang, Mu Di put down her walls and faced her heart. Not only did she find a career that she loved, but she also found a home that she loved.
My Reviews:
1. I watched 4 episodes, and I found it boring and not engaging at all.
2. The main CP did not lure me in with their acting, and the story could have been more engaging.
I am dropping this drama and giving it a 4.0 rating.

The storyline didn't lure me. Too much bickering and arguing so it was a turn off for me.
Enforcement Department is a melodrama about public servants between the Criminal Investigation and Second Execution Divisions and their conflicts as they try to work their own ways to resolve cases against the people in their communities.Synopsis: The exceptional Juge Qi Tao of the Criminal Investigation Division is forced to join forces with the Second Execution Division Chief Chu Yun. Their contrasting personalities and work methods clash, making it challenging to handle court cases effectively. Will they overcome their differences for the greater good of Quinggang City's citizens?
My Reviews:
1. As much as I like Luo Jin, I have not been able to finish any of the dramas he has been in since 2021, starting with A Land So Rich with Beauty. Perhaps because of the bad scripts.
2. I liked his early works better, especially with Tiffany Tang. Their onscreen chemistry was undeniably good.
3. After five episodes, I have no patience for this drama because of all the bickering between the characters and the people they are trying to help. There is too much yelling and arguing.
I am dropping this drama and giving it a 4.5 rating. The storyline didn't lure me.

Chinese version of Ghost Writer with good acting, comedy, and suspenseful
"Oh, No! Here Comes Trouble" is another iQiyi short series. AvenueX recommended it, so I am checking it out. To be honest, I was not into it until episode 8 onward.The synopsis is that Pu Yi Yong is a high school who unexpectedly gains superpowers after a bus accident that took his father's life and put his grandfather in a coma.
He gained the power to talk to the dead and work with the police and his classmate/neighbor to solve the causes and unresolved issues and lead them to the light.
It is like "Ghost Writer," an old American drama with a modern touch and special CGI effects.
The first 7 episodes are so boring and hard to get into. I found it so dull and fast-forward most of it, until episodes 8-10, that it got interesting. Since it is only 2 episodes left, so I will stick with it.
The acting is not bad; the script is strange and weird. I don't enjoy it as much, so I give it a 7.5 rating.

Crime Investigation in historical setting is not my cup of tea. It was so boring and too slow.
The Imperial Coroner is a crime investigation drama in a historical setting. I listened to AvenueX's raved review about it, and I like the lead actor Wang Zi Qi, so I checked it out. I watched 6 episodes of it and found it freaking boring. Chinese crime drama, in general, is quite dull, and to have it done in historical drama and dragged to 36 episodes is a bit much.I found it dull for modern-day crime drama to be dragged to 24 episodes, let alone a historical one. I was unengaged, and I should have known that AvenueX recommendations are usually not to my liking.
The on-screen chemistry between Wang Zi Qi and Su Xiao Tong is not as good as his on-screen chemistry with Wang Yu Wen. I love Wangs in Once We Get Married and currently streaming The Love You Give Me.
I am dropping this drama and would not recommend it if you are not into crime investigation in a historical setting.
I am giving a 5.0 because of the boring script.

Too boring to continue because the plot is bad and not much exciting.
"Welcome to Milele Village" is a medical drama dealing with an African country. I didn't like the plot and have watched 4 episodes.The Synopsis: By chance, Ma Jia, a doctor from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, joined the 25th Chinese medical team to aid Sanna and went to Africa. Faced with completely different environments and huge cultural differences between China and Africa, Ma Jia experienced both persistence and giving up. He adjusted and corrected his mentality to gradually understand what it means to be a Chinese foreign aid doctor in practice. During the two years of foreign aid, during the physical and mental training, and under the scrutiny of emotions and low spirits, Ma Jia and his partners in the foreign aid medical team were stationed in "Maile Village," experiencing happiness, touching reunions, separations, and exciting experiences.
I am not interested in continuing, so I am dropping it. I think the acting is okay, but not exceptional.

Not a good medical drama - Dr. Qin is a better Medical Drama
The plot of "Thank You Doctor" was nothing to be excited about. It was a typical and boring medical drama; I don't think it needed to be 40 episodes long. It could have been better if it was cut short to 30 episodes.I cannot stand the following characters in this drama's supporting roles.
- Doctor Tang Hua and the young nurse; characters are annoying because all they do is gossip and stick their noses and opinions where it was not asked for.
- Doctor Chen was stupid and had very low EQ when it came to love relationships.
- The main CP, Dr. Bai, was arrogant and should have expressed his feelings for Dr. Xiao already. It was too painful to watch their relationship progress to nowhere.
- The young actor who played Dr. Bai's son was great, and the older nurse storyline was better.
I plan to finish it, but I don't think it was a good drama, so I am giving it a 5.0 rating.

I could not get past episode 2. Too boring to continue
A friend recommended this drama because she liked it so much. However, I could not get past episode 2. It was too boring, slow, and unengaging.My friend was raving about this drama, and I am unsure why. I found it too childish, and I am done with high school love romance.
Grrr................

I didn't like the plot and too many bickering where I have no patience to continue.
Romance in the Farm is a historical rom-com where I could not get past episode #3 because I didn't like the story, and there was too much bickering surrounding her and her relatives.I like the FL and ML, but the story does not pique my interest in continuing it. I found that Cdramas tend to drag out and make the drama longer than necessary by adding too many filler scenes. It is annoying to get scenes where there is too much fighting and bickering between the supporting cast and the main character.

Can we move on from Republican Drama? Same old story and lack originality
A Love Never Lost is yet another Republican Drama about the Japanese invasion. I have watched numerous dramas about this era of Chinese History, and to be honest, I am growing increasingly tired of them. Many platforms share similar stories, offering nothing new or original. As much as I like Li Xian, after investing my time and watching 8 episodes, I can no longer find it intriguing to continue. I am dropping the drama.Synopsis: Following the Boxer Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty sought to rejuvenate itself by sending promising young men to military school in Japan. Among them were Qing aristocrat Liang Xiang, revolutionary Yang Kai Zhi, and Beiyang Army soldier Li Ren Jun. On the voyage to Japan, they met revolutionary Wu Tian Bai and merchant daughter Xie Qiu Hong. Representing different political factions, each with a distinct vision for revitalizing China, the fates of these five individuals would be intertwined on the road to revolution.
