A typical series to encourage Japanese people to get married :)

PLOT: The female lead had a perfect life plan (marriage, children), but she gets dumped by her long-term boyfriend. A colleague (talented but cold) offers to marry her if she's not married by 30. Thus begins a long period of hesitation, timid approaches, unspoken words, ... until they become a couple.

+++ Very cute CL, with a handsome ML, Genta Matsuda (we wonder why the FL is so slow :)
+++ Fast-paced production / Very Japanese "kawai" OSTs.

### Drama structure without surprises [proposal flash / hesitation / couple / breakup for X reason/ short HE]
### The [reality / thoughts & fantasies] aspect is only funny when it's not too repetitive
### I know it's cultural, but "I'm reserved, I don't say what I think, I don't want to bother anyone" ends up being unbearable
### The actress who plays the FL should ask the clothes designer for compensation!!

=> Nothing unexpected, but with Genta Matsuda :)
********************************************************
Série typique pour inciter les japonais au mariage :)

PLOT: La FL avait un plan de vie (mariage, enfants) parfait, mais elle se fait larguer par son long-term BF. Un collègue (talentueux mais froid) lui propose de l'épouser si elle n'est pas mariée à 30 ans. Commence alors une longue période d'hésitation, d'approches timides, de non-dits, ... jusqu'à ce qu'ils deviennent un couple.

+++ CL très cute, avec un ML handsome (on se demande bien pourquoi la FL est si lente :)
+++ Réalis° rapide / OSTs très nippons.

### Structure du drama sans surprise [proposit° flash / hésitat° / couple / séparation / courte HE]
### l'aspect [réalité / pensées & fantasmes ] n'est comique que qd il n'est pas trop répétitif
### Je sais que c'est culturel, mais "je suis réservée, je ne dis pas ce que je pense, je ne veux pas importuner" finit par être difficilement supportable
### L'actrice qui joue la FL devrait demander une compensation au designer !!

=> Rien d'inattendu, mais avec Genta Matsuda :)

Pure short-length comedy "Body swap (after kiss)" , fun and well-played story

PLOT: The FL, in love with the Shadow Master, has been engaged since childhood with the ML (Shadow incognito). This CL finds himself married, against his will, and discovers the body swap after kissing. But an evil sister and her mother are also at work to conquer the family heritage (bath businesses).

+++ Great young actors: Wang Lu Qing as FL & Samuel Liu as ML, with natural chemistry and a lot of kisses :)
+++ Fast pace, good OSTs

### Like all short-length series, this is a low-budget production (few sets, few costumes) but overall well-executed.
### Lots of clichés and overly obvious twists, but the comedy tone overcomes these flaws.

=> Enjoyable series, carried by the talent of the young actors.
*********************************************************************
Pure short-length comédie "Body swap (après kiss") Hist fun et bien jouée

PLOT : La FL, amoureuse du Shadow Master, est engagée depuis l'enfance avec le ML (Shadow incognito). Ce CL se retrouve marié, contre son gré, et découvre le body swap après kiss. Mais une evil sister et sa mère sont également à l’œuvre pr conquérir le patrimoine (commerces) familial.

+++ Great young actors : Wang Lu Qing as FL & Samuel Liu as ML, with a natural chemistry and a lot of kisses :)
+++ Rythme rapide, Bonnes OSTs

### Comme ds ttes les short-lenght series, c'est une production low-budget (peu de décors, peu de costumes) mais globalement bien exploité.
### Bcp de clichés et de twists trop évidents, mais le ton Comédie fait passer outre ces défauts.

=> Série agréable, portée par le talent de jeunes acteurs.

"Can children make up for their father's sins?"

PLOT: Three powers are fighting over the kingdom: the king (subject to the nobles), the Minister of Defense (father of the queen, who wants to place his grandson on the throne), and Cheon Mak Dong (very wealthy owner of Yongcheonru, the largest inn of the Joseon Dynasty). Among Yongcheonru's new apprentices are a quartet composed of the FL (disguised as a man for 12 years after her father's death), Prince Lee Eun (searching for a key), Cheon Jun Hwa (the owner's son, incognito), and Su Ra (son of a poor merchant). Their investigations will ultimately bring to light a 12-year-old "abscess" linked to the death of the former king.

+++ The quartet [Bae In Hyuk, Kim Ji Eun, Jung Gun Joo, Jae Chan] is talented and endearing. The friendship within the team is heartwarming, and kudos to Kim Ji Eun; this is the first time an actress has been disguised as a man so believably. Romance isn't the focus of the series, but the couple is cute (naive at times?) in their way of protecting each other.
+++ The story is well-written and intelligent. The gender arc is well-developed. The tone, initially humorous and light, gradually becomes heavier, and the suspense is well maintained.
+++ Excellent direction: sets, fight scenes, OSTs.
+++ Kudos to the costume designer; they are magnificent!! Particularly Seol Mae Hwa's, of unparalleled elegance.

### Some narrative arcs drag on too long (=> some lengths) and we're sometimes frustrated by the pointlessness/stupidity/naivety of the protagonists.
### As is often the case in dramas, it's the unsaid things, the unfinished sentences, the misunderstandings that are the thread of the story, when everything would have been resolved fairly quickly with a little honesty!
### The final episode is a bit disappointing because the plot resolution is weak.

=> A fairly fun historical gender drama within a Five stars Palace (but some weak episodes)

********************************************************************
"Les enfants peuvent-ils réparer les fautes de leur père ?"

PLOT: 3 puissances se disputent le royaume: le roi (soumis aux gds nobles), le Ministre de la Défense (père de la reine et qui veut mettre son petit-fils s/ le trône) et Cheon Mak Dong (très riche proprio d'Yongcheonru, la plus grande auberge de la dynastie Joseon). Parmi les nvx apprentis d'Yongcheonru, se trouve 1 quatuor composé de la FL (déguisée en homme depuis 12 ans & la mort de s/ père), le Prince Lee Eun (en quête d'1 clef), Cheon Jun Hwa (fils du proprio, incognito) et Su ra (marchand pauvre). Leurs investigat° vont finir par faire exploser un "abcès" vieux de 12 ans, lié à la mort de l'ancien roi.

+++ Le quatuor [Bae In Hyuk, Kim Ji Eun, Jung Gun Joo, Jae Chan] est talentueux et attachant. L'amitié au sein de la Team est réconfortante, et bravo à Kim Ji Eun, c'est la 1e fois qu'une actrice est déguisée en homme de façon aussi crédible. La romance n'est pas au centre de la série, mais le couple est mignon (naïf parfois ?) dans sa manière de protéger l'autre.
+++ La story est bien écrite, intelligente. L'arc "gender" est bien exploité. Le ton, d'abord humoristique et léger, devient peu à peu plus pesant,et le suspense est bien entretenu.
+++ Excellente réalisation, décors, scènes de fight, OSTs.
+++ Bravo au designer des costumes, ils sont magnifiques !! Particulièrement ceux de Seol Mae Hwa, d'une élégance inégalée.

### Certains arcs narratifs durent trop longtemps (=> des longueurs) et on est parfois frustré par l'inutilité / la bêtise - naïveté, des protagonistes.
### Comme souvent ds les dramas, ce sont les non-dits, les phrases inachevées, les malentendus qui sont la trame de l'histoire, alors que tout aurait été réglé assez vite avec un peu de franchise !
### L' épisode final est un peu décevant. La résolution du complot est un peu faible.

=> Gender drama historique assez fun au sein d'un ✩✩✩✩✩ d'époque (but some weak episodes)

A lot of potential, but a really poorly written story :(

The FL (the family's legitimate daughter) was "cursed" and sent (and mistreated) to the countryside. At 17, she runs away and returns to her family to reclaim her place (against her father, concubine & their children). Her mother, disabled, lives more or less as a recluse. The only helper is the ML (widowed brother-in-law), who investigates conspiracies. The Great Villain is still at work...

+++ Good CL (but no chemistry at all between the leads)
+++ Revenge plot with a mysterious atmosphere and well-executed suspense.
+++ Superb cinematography, sets. Magnificent costumes (•ө•)♡, hairstyles.

### Poorly executed story on a psychological level: many twisted characters (including ML & especially FL), illogical behaviors and situations, etc. The screenwriter adds drama to drama, just for fun (because the trend is toward Dark Drama).
### Without a doubt the most detestable (selfish, manipulative) FL in all of Dramaland.
### Heavy plot twists and a lot of drag in the last part => skipping :(

=> The plot was interesting, but the story is too poorly written to make you want to watch this drama again.
************************************************************
La FL (1e fille légitime de la famille) a été "maudite" et envoyée (+ maltraitée) à la campagne. A 17 ans, elle s'enfuit et revient ds sa famille pr reconquérir sa place (contre père, concubine et ses enfants). Sa mère, handicapée, vit +/- recluse. Seule aide, le ML (beau-frère veuf) qui enquête s/ complots. Le Great Villain est tjs à l'oeuvre...

+++ Bon CL (but no chemistry at all between the leads)
+++ Plot Revenge avec atmosphère mystérieuse et suspense bien mené.
+++ Superbe cinématographie, décors. Magnifiques costumes (•ө•)♡, coiffures.

### Story mal menée au niveau psychologique : bcp de personnages tordus (y compris ML & surtt FL), comportements et situat° illogiques, etc. Le screenwriter rajoute du drame au drame, juste pr le fun (parce que la tendance est au Dark Drama") .
### Sans doute la FL la plus détestable (égoïste, manipulatrice) de tt Dramaland.
### Grosses ficelles et bcp de longueurs ds la dernière partie => zapping :(

=> Le plot était intéressant, mais l'histoire est trop mal écrite pr donner envie de revisionner ce drama à nouveau.

A collection of all the Japanese romantic clichés/fantasies, but well played.

PLOT: The FL, a talented, uneducated painter, was married at 16 to the son of a company boss, the ML. Ten years later, she has never seen him. When her loved ones die, she goes to Tokyo to get a divorce and finally be free. But... the ML falls in love at first sight and conquers her.

+++ Good actors
+++ Short series (8 x 25")

### ALL ALL the clichés: CEO cold but tender with his lover, FL hyper-naive but beautiful and talented, all men want the FL (but for various reasons), the final run after break-up throught the city to catch the lover, etc.

=> Only watch it if you're ready for that!!
******************************************************
Ramassis de tous les clichés / fantasmes romantiques japonais, mais bien joué

PLOT: La FL, peintre talentueuse sans éducation, a été mariée à 16 ans à un fils d'1 Cie, le ML. 10 ans + tard, elle ne l'a jamais vu. A la mort de ses proches, elle va à Tokyo pr divorcer et être enfin libre. Mais ... le ML a le coup de foudre, et fait sa conquête.

+++ Bons acteurs
+++ série courte (8 X 25")

### TOUS les clichés : CEO cold mais tendre avec sa lover, FL hyper naïve, mais belle et avec talent, tous les hommes veulent la FL (mais pr des motifs variés), etc.

=> Ne regarder que si vous êtes prêts à ça !!

An hot and addicitve series, but the most absurd, incoherent story ever seen :)

The most poorly written and incoherent short series (31 x 12") ever seen, but we stay in front of the screen thanks to the talent of the two leads!!

PLOT: After 3 years of an arranged marriage without ever seeing each other, the ML and the FL meet and sleep together (incognito). The ML loudly declares that he despises his wife and absolutely wants a divorce. The FL therefore decides to use her pen name (Penny) in all the contacts (professional and personal) they have, many contacts, because the ML is madly in love! Penny gets pregnant, but the ML wants more and more of a divorce...

+++ 2 very good leads and the ML is very HOT
+++ Beautiful cinematography
+++ Lots of skinship (very sexy/hot tone)

### Story so absurd, incoherent, full of plot holes... so much so that it's laughable!
### The ML is toxic, abusive, a total Red Flag... until a sudden turnaround / realization :)
### Intention to be comical? Satire?

=> The most surprising thing is that it's addictive, and you stay until the end (´▽`)(´▽`)(´▽`)(´▽`)(´▽`)
******************************************************
Série courte (31 X 12") la + mal écrite et incohérente jamais vue, mais on reste devant l'écran grâce au talent des 2 leads !!

PLOT: Après 3 ans d'1 mariage arrangé sans s'être jamais vus, le ML et la FL se rencontrent et couchent ensemble (incognito) . Le ML affirme partt haut & fort qu'il méprise sa femme et veut absolument divorcer. La FL décide donc d'utiliser son pseudo (Penny) ds ts les contacts (professionnels & perso) qu'ils vont avoir, nbreux contacts, car le ML est amoureux fou ! Penny va tomber enceinte, mais le ML veut de + en + divorcer ...

+++ 2 très bons leads et le ML est très HOT
+++ Très belle cinématographie
+++ Bcp de skinship (ton très sexy)

### Story tellement absurde, incohérente, pleine de plotholes ... tellement que c'est risible !
### Le ML est toxique, abusif, total Red Flag ... jusqu'à un retournement / prise de conscience soudaine :)
### Volonté d'être comique ? Satyre ?

=> Le plus étonnant, c'est que c'est addictif, et que l'on reste jusqu'à la fin (´▽`)(´▽`)(´▽`)(´▽`)(´▽`)

To be savored as pure entertainment (very successful) full of handsome guys.

Romantic comedy, historical, fun and light

PLOT: The FL, an orphan, flees a marriage arranged by her uncle and aunt with the ML2 (rich and powerful psycho) and runs into the ML, a noble, orphan, looking for clues about the death of his father, betrayed 10 years earlier. After a difficult start, they end up (FL, little sister and servant) finding refuge in the ML's family, frequented by "beauties" (suitors looking for a husband) and quite a few princes. Every lady is fighting to attract the favors of the ML, but the ML2 has not given up...

+++ Great actors (Alen Fang & Lin Yun as CL, with great chemistry) and a bunch of handsome actors, all magnificent and talented, who develop endearing characters. Even the psycho is very convincing! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
+++ Lively direction, with superb effects and cinematography.
+++ Brotherhood and sisterhood well highlighted. Excellent choreography and fight scenes.
+++ Lively OSTs to accentuate the comedy aspect.

### At times the "comedy" tone is excessive.
### Some sides of the characters (aggressiveness of the FL, bickering, little sister's interventions) can be annoying.
### Some coincidences / clichés are too obvious (ML2 who survives, ML surviving drowning, avalanche, etc.)

=> To be savored as pure entertainment (very successful) full of handsome guys.
*************************************************************
Comédie romantique, historique, fun and light (Parfois un peu "roman Harlequin :)

PLOT: La FL, orpheline, fuit un mariage arrangé par son oncle et sa tante avec le ML2 (riche et puissant psycho) et se heurte au ML, noble, orphelin, en quête d'indices sur la mort de son père, trahi 10 ans + tôt. Après des débuts difficiles, ils finissent (FL, petite sœur et servante) par trouver refuge dans la famille du ML, fréquentée par des "belles" (prétendantes en quête d'1 mari) et pas mal de princes. TT le monde s'affronte pr s'attirer les faveurs du ML, mais le ML2 n'a pas abandonné...

+++ Great actors (Alen Fang & Lin Yun en CL, avec une belle alchimie) et a bunch d'autres acteurs, tous magnifiques et talentueux, qui développent des personnages attachants. Même le psycho est très convaincant ! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
+++ Réalis° vive, avec des effets et une cinématographie superbes.
+++ Brotherhood et sisterhood bien mises en valeur. Chorégraphie et scènes de fight excellentes.
+++ OSTs entrainantes pr accentuer l'aspect comédie.

### Par moments le ton "comédie" est excessif.
### Certains côtés des personnages (agressivité de la FL, bickering, interventions de la petite sœur) peuvent être agaçants.
### Certaines coïncidences / clichés sont trop évidentes (ML2 qui survit, ML survivant à noyade, avalanche, etc.)

=> A savourer comme un pur divertissement (très réussi) plein de beaux gosses.

Disappointed at the end of this season ... I'm waiting for season 2 to give a real rating.

Romantic-historical series with Li Xian and Yang Zi (I had so high expectations) but Season 1 (friendship only) with lengths...

PLOT: During the Tang Dynasty, He Wei Fang, the daughter of a merchant skilled in growing rare peonies, leaves a marriage of convenience with the help of Jiang Chang Yang, an official from Chang'an. She started a peony growing company, a flower store, empowering women with difficult pasts and creating a thriving brand. To secure their lives, they get married (only marriage in name, but the ML is in love).

+++ Great cast, high-budget production (beautifull sets, costumes, ...)
+++ Excellent OSTs

### Lengths :( The paced is too slow ....
### Only friendship in the CL at the end of the season1

=> Disappointed at the end of this season ... I'm waiting for season 2 to give a real rating.

Lovely series about friendship, family and love ala japanese

PLOT: Three lost people (the FL who has just been dumped by her fiancé at 28 and who is unemployed / the ML student aged 19, in love with the violin teacher,the betrayed fiancée of his brother / a mother drowned in chores and family constraints) meet up for introductory violin lessons. Deep bonds will be created, allowing them to overcome their issues.

+++ Taishi Nakagawa as ML (always a pleasure for the eyes :)
+++ Beautiful lessons on friendship, family, the passage of time, etc. Lots of humanity.

### You need to love the violin (especially Bach)
### Very Japanese pointillist style where the characters constantly contain themselves (it must be cultural :)

=> Nice and short series, quite feel-good.

Jolie série sur l'amitié et l'amour "à la japonaise"

Des liens profonds vont se créer, leur permettant de sortir de leurs impasses.

+++ Taishi Nakagawa en ML (toujours un plaisir des yeux :)
+++ Belles leçons sur l'amitié, la famille, le temps qui passe, etc. Bcp d'humanité.

### Il faut aimer le violon (surtt Bach)
### Style pointilliste très japonais où les personnages se contiennent en permanence (ça doit être culturel :)

=> Not great (even if Dai Gao Zheng is hot)!

PLOT: In Mangbei, the FL is sent to find her "brother" (ML2 - no blood related). There she meets the ML, warrior, who wants to find out the truth about his brother's death, while escorting a jewel. It's all about the leader of a local gang, whose daughter (FL2) is hopelessly in love with ML.

+++ The actors (including Dai Gao Zheng, who specializes in this type of role where he excels) do their everething to make the story believable.

### Incoherent story, full of clichés, nonsense and plotholes
### FL hyper naive, childish, who wants to face alone a gang without weapons :) :) The actress who plays FL is pretty, but she needs to improve her acting skills (a lot).
### Low-budget series and it's too obvious!!

+++ Les acteurs (dont Dai Gao Zheng, qui se spécialise dans ce genre de rôle où il excelle) font ce qu'ils peuvent pr faire croire à l'histoire.

### Story incohérente, bourrée de clichés, non-sens et de plotholes
### FL hyper naïve, puérile, qui veut affronter un gang :) :) L'actrice qui joue la FL est jolie, mais elle doit améliorer ses acting skills (bcp).

How a screenwriter can ruin a good script and a good cast :(

PLOT: The FL, disillusioned by her relationship for 10 years, meets a veterinarian (the ML, divorced, with 1 sick sister and 1 alcoholic father). They are attracted to each other, but she resists because of her BF. This one is an asshole who plays on two sides (the FL and his business partner) and, out of pride, refuses the FL's breakup.
=> I skipped episodes 5 to 8 because the hesitations of the FL are painful.

+++ Excellent actors

BUT very bad remake of "One spring night" with toxic, incoherent, fickle, etc. story and characters.
### FL with a f****ing frustrating personnality, and without any backbone.

=> VERY frustrating and disappointing series (despite the casting)
***********************************************************
PLOT: La FL, désabusée par sa relat° depuis 10 ans, rencontre 1 véto (le ML, divorcé, avec 1 sœur malade et 1 père +/- alcoolo). Ils sont attirés l'un par l'autre, mais elle résiste à cause de son BF. Celui-ci est 1 connard qui joue sur 2 tableaux (la FL et sa partenaire d'affaires) et, par fierté, refuse le breakup.
=> zapping entre les épisodes 5 to 8 car les hésitations de la FL sont pénibles.

+++ TB acteurs

MAIS très mauvais remake de "One spring night" avec story et personnages toxiques, incohérents, inconstants, etc.

Unbearably poorly written series.

Watched 2 episodes for Wang You Shuo, but FL annoying, unbearable even + Plot full of nonsense. Started again out of curiosity with skipping and Speed ​​1.5 until the end.

PLOT: The FL, a noble girl, super spoiled, a fighter, does everything to escape the marriage arranged at birth, with a handsome, intellectual astrologist. The entire FL family dies following a conspiracy, the ML saves her, but she poisons him. Continuing her revenge, she stays with the ML having a mental age of a 5 years old.

### casting error: Ireine Song does not fit the character, with her slender body and teenage face.
### the character of the FL, childish, hyper spoiled, stupidly aggressive, without logic, .... is unbearable!
### Inconsistent story: ML poisoned, finds himself with 5 years of mental age (until ep. 16)?? The master runs away with an “old” woman who has just given birth?? There is too much nonsens to make a list ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ

=> A great waste (poorly written story, unbelievable characters) despite Wang You Shuo's superb performance!

Regardé 2 épisodes pour Wang You Shuo, mais FL agaçante, voire insupportable + Plot bourré de nonsens. Repris par curiosité avec skipping et Speed 1.5.

PLOT : La FL, fille noble, hyper gâtée, combattante, fait tout pour échapper au mariage arrangé à la naissance, avec un bel astrologue, intellectuel. Toute la famille de la FL meurt à la suite d'1 complot, le ML la sauve, mais elle l'empoisonne. Poursuivant sa revanche, elle reste avec le ML ayant 1 âge mental de 5 ans.

### erreur de casting : Ireine Song ne colle pas au personnage, avec son corps fluet et son visage d'ado.
### le personnage de la FL, puéril, hyper gâtée, bêtement agressive, sans logique, .... est insupportable !
### Story incohérente : ML empoisonné, se retrouve avec 5 ans d'âge mental (jusqu'à l'ép. 16) ?? La master s'enfuit avec 1 "vieille" femme qui vient d'accoucher ??

=> Un beau gâchis (story mal écrite, personnages pas crédibles) malgré la superbe performance de Wang You Shuo !

Entertaining, (very) light, but nothing more.

Wuxia simple & fluffy, and sometimes Silly & Brainless

PLOT: The ML is the heir of a sect decimated 10 years earlier by the Heishas (band of assassins secretly in the service of the master of Nonuple Palace, a powerful sect which wants to dominate the martial world). The FL was one of them, but disgusted by her master's actions, she was left near dead and became amnesiac. She was collected by a small sect without ambition. She meets the ML again during his investigations.

+++ A bunch of great young actors
+++ Good choreography and fight scenes

### Low-budget production
### Story which aims to be light BUT is full of all the clichés of the genre, simplistic, the characters behave ridiculously, childishly,... annoying!

=> Entertaining, (very) light, but nothing more.

Wuxia simple & fluffy, and sometimes Silly & Brainless

PLOT: Le ML est l'héritier d'1 secte décimée 10 ans + tôt par les Heishas (bande d'assassins secrètement au service du maitre de Nonuple Palace, secte puissante qui veut dominer le monde). La FL en faisait partie, mais dégoutée par les agissements du maitre, elle a été laissée pr morte et est devenue amnésique. Elle a été recueillie pr 1 petite secte sans ambition. Elle rencontre à nouveau le ML dans ses investigations.
+++ A bunch of great young actors
+++ Bonnes chorégraphies et scènes de fight

### Low-budget production
### Story qui se veut légère MAIS est bourrée de tous les clichés du genre, simpliste, les personnages ont des comportements ridicules, puérils, ... agaçants !

=> Distrayant, (très) léger, mais rien de plus.
