I could have watched it till the end but everything at this point was pretty much predictable
On the whole i will say it was a good drama but streching it to 38 episodes seemed a lot .. so i dropped mid way, but I am sure a lot of people will love to watch it till the end.Alright !!! the things that I felt made this drama worth your time are :
1) it has a lot of dynamics .. i mean apart from a classic betrayal-revenge plot ..story throws light on hyper possessive and abusive relationship... The need of women's financial independence and their need to keep balance with career and love life. In both past life and present lives , creators gave a strong lesson about importance of Women financial self dependence through FL character.. and criticised ML 's wish to keep her as his canary locked in the cage.
2) Good looking cast
3) it was refreshing to see a woman entrepreneur that too in the field of finance and investment... Otherwise we always see ML or male villain talking about things like stocks, stake holders , joint ventures, business acquisitions etc .. the way she manipulated her way to get revenge using the market fluctuations was very inspiring... ❤️❤️🫰🫰🫰OTHERWISE WE ALWAYS SEE FL SEDUCING THE VILLAIN ARCH ENEMY TO GET HER REVENGE, don't we ????
Things that were not so good about the drama:
1) though the cast is good looking but their acting wasn't very impressive.. in fact i dropped the show for that cause. story was already predictable at this point and with their bad acting there wasnt much left to watch.
2) plot was interesting till ep ,20 after that It suddenly lost its juice and turned boring.
You can give it a try

How cinderella would've felt after coming back from the ball
How Would Cinderella Have Felt After Coming Back From the Ball? After the magic wore off and Cinderella came back from the ball… how would she have felt about this entire thing? What would she have been thinking at 2AM after returning? Was she thinking about the slipper she left behind? Did she leave it on purpose? No… she wouldn’t have wanted the prince to see her shabby side.ps: she wouldn't have thought of watching this drama. At least i am sure about that.
And this was the premise of this show that hooked me in. I was like, this is so real. We always think of this story from the prince’s POV—he got the slipper, he started looking for the girl—but nobody talks about Cinderella’s thoughts after coming back from the ball. But then it turned boring and stupid, so I dropped it. The end. The cast is okay. ML was good-looking, and FL is good-looking plus a better actor. She’s quite senior, so that’s a given. The rest of the cast… characters (from office coworkers to SML, to be exact) were annoying—especially the office coworkers. I don’t know what exactly their deal was, but they were just too nosy, beyond logic, immediately irritating. The storyline is straightforward. They made it into a drama, but this plot specifically deserved a 1.5-hour movie, not a 10-hour stretch. That’s exactly why it became extremely slow in the middle. Either way, I dropped it at episode 7. Because why not?

Can't wait for season 2
Honestly!! They should just compile this and release it in theatres — it’s that damn good. The ratings here do absolutely no justice to this drama. It’s a solid 8.5+ banger, one hundred percent. I literally sat in front of my TV and watched the entire thing in a single sitting.Plot:
Fallen god/supreme immortal — not “fallen” fallen, but sent back to restart his cultivation from absolute zero in Zhou Feiyang’s mortal body, a body that doesn’t even have a dantian. During his time in the mortal realm, he gradually understands the fundamental flaws in his century-long cultivation.
Characters:
Zhou Xi Shao (in Zhou Feiyang’s body):
I loved this ML. His arrogance, aloofness, confidence, and that perfect “I-can’t-care-less” attitude—sprinkled with just the right amount of kindness. And of course, all of this comes from his top-level cultivation. He’s the kind of person you simply cannot ignore, even if he's standing in a crowd.
Chen Qiushui (Fiancée #1):
Airhead-genius, in my opinion. She’s obsessed with superficial talent and completely ignores a person’s genuine character.
Yanran (Fiancée #2):
Beautiful and sweet, but honestly… quite hypocritical.
Bai Zhi (Fiancée #3):
The only fiancée who liked him despite his low cultivation. Respect.
Xiao Ran:
ML’s romantic interest and my favorite FL. She helps him discover the core flaw in his cultivation—truly living up to her title of “Master.”
Pan Luyu absolutely killed it as the ML.
The CGI was amazing, the action scenes were crisp, and my favorite part? The OST. It’s literally stuck in my head on loop right now.
Amazing drama. Desperately waiting for Season 2💕💕💕💕

Blame it on the lame writing
It was one of those dramas that people drop with lin first 5 episodes. The writer has no skill of story presentation. Even as a viewer i know you have press that impact in very first episodes to bind the viewers, whereas in this drama the first few episodes were the least impactful. Moreover the plot seemed quite confusing with events not in harmony with each other or the time leaps. Many a times you will find the time leap in the plot and what they mention in their dialogue doesn't match.Moving forward it was a villain(s) oriented plot ..they just kept coming One after the other, whereas the temperament of the main leads was not convincing enough to tackle these. They could not provide the thrill that I was expecting from such case and criminals' long list.
Characters
Male lead is an investigating officer who is face blind (his face blindness made not much difference in the plot though). He was fine but not very smart in my opinion. If you consider closely none of his enemies was actually defeated by him, they either killed each other or committed suicide or well arrested by the other dept officer. He didn't achieve much without FL or other friends' help. It was frustrating to see his obsession with finding evidence and king's acknowledgement of his investigation😐 (while the king himself was a big loser his entire city is dumped in drugs for 20 years under his nose and he is waiting for god damn evidence 😮💨). He couldn't even fight the last villain who almost killed the FL. I personally don't prefer such ML. I like the ones who can play both sword and shield.
Yunxi luo did amazing job playing the lead ..he is one of my fav. He always bring his top-notch performance on the screen. It's always a delight to watch him.
Female lead was the real star for me. She is intelligent, beautiful, kind, street smart, loyal, successful businesswoman, resourceful and extremely focussed with whatever she does🤌. girl is dealing with a strange disease which makes her shapeshift around full moon, but she is smart enough to put this weakness to a good use and help ML with investigation. ❤️
It was my first time watching song yi work. I must say she is good . She has this unique charm that attracts the viewers plus her acting skills are also very nice.
Chemistry between the two is okay ... Yunxi 's chemistry with his co-actresses is often judged against his chemistry with bai lu ( that's a given their comfort with each other resonates on different levels) but I can't say Yunxi and song yi don't make a good pair.
Other characters
ML' sister: grown up brat who wants to own every person's secret and wants to be a part of every secret plan but can't keep any of these secrets to herself. She is a Big time troublemaker. ( Later turned goody-goody 😒)
Shang being li : hot blooded guard commander who acts before thinking ..very opposite to what our ML provides. NGL at many instances in the plot i liked him more than ML who was just .. well ...flat in his actions.
Tong sai er: country girl with good martial art skill .. she is loyal hard working and straight forward but aloof in love matters ..i liked this character a lot and she and the FL make a good duo
Other than that I liked also like phantom doctor/FL's mother character she was more helpful in 3 episode than the ML is entire series.
Music : the ost wasn't too impressive but other background song were so so so lovely ...THE SONG 'HEART'S LETTER' WAS THE BEST ... The BGM in this show made me remember the BGM of back from the brink( the most fav show so far) .
the cast did a great job with their respective characters but Blame it on the lame screenwriting the drama couldn't impress me much.

Caught in a nightmare which is disguised like a day dream
The story is a concoction of all the legendary cliches you come across in the short dramas you have watched so long ..it was modern to ancient time travel at the same time ... Body swipe ... Plus Dive into dream to bring the person back ..like literally all of that.Plot is moderate paced but felt like story is missing some fragments, it's about a man who is caught in his own dream and is not walking up for years and the woman who enters his conscious mind to help with resolve his regrets and wake up into the real world . FL and ML are good looking but I wasn't very impressed with their acting specially FL her way to delivery dialogue was cringe ..though I don't dislike her either.
Ending wasn't very nice either .
Anyways I won't write any more ...this is the type of drama which can be both watched or skipped ..

weightlifting fairy lifting my heart ❤️
the show is a rom-com masterpiece, a perfect blend of comedy, romance, motivation, drama ,ups and downs . the straight approach oriented plot no twists and tricks yet giving the best delight to its viewers. i am not going to discuss the outlines of the story as this is a popular one and you have access to its various versions of synopsis on the internet .. so let's straight dive into the things i felt made this show so amazing for me:1) straight and to the point approach : in most cases when writers dont have much twist/tricks to elongate a story, it often comes out a boring plot full of cliches and over abused comedy punches, like a total lacklusture sort of drama . but that wasnt a case with this one ..even with the 'no bullshit' approach this drama was able to keep the viewers engage.
2)cast : very talented cast : some of them like lee sung kyung, nam joo hyuk are my absolute fav ..and the casting director deserve all the appreciation for casting actor who have some experience in that sport to play the sportsperson for example kyung soo jin playing role of song hi (gymnast) was a practicing gymnastic in real life as well ... kyung sung bulked up and did weight trainings play the weightlifter...this type of professionalism increase the value of the drama on whole different level.
plus there were few guest appearances.(byeon wosoek etc)
3)comedy : punches were refreshing nothing vulgar of the sorts ..and there were both verbal and physical comedy ... her walk alone was enough to make me forget biggest worry of my life ..she was just too good.
4)life lessons : this show demonstrated a lot of young people's shortcomings ad worries in present day life .. like carrier pressure, love life situations , family problems ... and the healthiest and very logical way to deal with them.
few things that i think missed the purpose for me
1)music : i dont know this might be my personal POV but the music including everything from background music to ost suck' .. i missed a compulsory rap that ost sports based motivational drama always have plus the romantic background songs had no male singer so it kinda feel strange not to have a background melody to convey the ML's feelings.
2) the part where they show FL and the ex GF playing sister/friends was too superficial ..she even helped her hide the boy in closet ..that part was so unnecessary and unrealistic at the same time ..i dont know why they even put it there ..
okay so that is it ... you should definitely check this one out
rewatch value : very high.( i am watched it 5 years ago and watching it again while writing the review)
XoXo

And the LEGACY continues with new lead faces
Well !! After finishing Season 1, it was hard not to miss the original cast...like seriously ... While Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Sung Kyung are my absolute favourites , it was natural to feel nostalgic for the previous crew. However, if you watch Season 2 with some time gap between, you’ll love this season just as much as the first.The side cast largely remains the same providing continuity and despite the change in leads, the team dynamic is still strong. The interactions and relationships among the characters remain compelling, with Teacher Kim once again at the center, mentoring and guiding the new doctors with his usual brilliance.
Just like in the first season, the medical cases are accurate and informative. The terminology and procedures are correct, which adds authenticity to the show. However, I felt like there were fewer medical cases this time around compared to Seas
The chemistry between the new leads is wonderful And Their shared history as classmates gave their love story a cutesy feel to it . The male lead though talented has a troubled past involving his family and a senior doctor who lost his license over illegal surgeries. While our the female lead struggles with OR phobia and can't perform surgeries.
Teacher Kim’s role as a wise mentor is still intact he helps both leads with their respective issues thus nurturing them into brilliant medical practitioners
What sets this season apart:
1. The previous season was more or less about cases involving common people but this time it was given A political edge, particularly with a major case involving the Minister of Defense.
2. The number of medical cases is lower with the focus gradually shifting towards a trauma center setup from the previous hospital setup.
3. The leads have more complex and morally grey backstories compared to the previous ones.
Definitely worth watching 💕💕

average time travel theme with feel-good to it
another " time travel to change your future" theme drama ... story was interesting in the beginning but arounf 7-8 episode it became somewhat slow and monotonous .. though the ending was okay ... half of the show has modern setting while the rest is somewhat retro ..or 90s theme .. characters were lively and contrasting.does it offers you anything new and refreshing .. ans is NO ..you can fairly predict the whole story line easily in the most initial episodes yet the feel good thing about this drama will make you to keep watching it till the last

Only if they had put some efforts on better plot writing
An average revenge plot revolving around two siblings ( not related by blood) who undergo various trials as they execute their plan/plans for the same .the cast is full of good looking actors .. Lovely chemistry between leads ...girl is a willful brat and boy is calm and mysterious. Though later their romance felt a bit too boring ..it was just the initial little chase that i enjoyed later everything was too dull .. the plot is very repetitive in nature a single scenario is moulded differently too many times like the same thing he loves her but keeps rejecting her yet won't let her be with someone else .. he made love to her yet acted like he is confusing her with his side chic... Blah blah blah .. and that's all

Useless goddess and her entitled Hero
This is one of those dramas that sounds premium in the synopsis but collapses the moment you actually press play.
We’ve got the classic setup: boy from humble beginnings, girl from a holier-than-thou immortal sect. They fall in love, Then boom, surprise fiancé appears from nowhere and suddenly we’re stuck in the world’s longest, dumbest breakup arc. Up to episode 12, it’s basically torture. The ML gets beaten like a rented punching bag, and the FL cries. A lot. In that nails-on-a-blackboard voice that makes you want to mute the screen for the love of eardrums...
The plot then spirals into full nonsense mode. The script itself is weak and inconsistent. Dead people are resurrected by casually flipping paper dolls, memories get wiped multiple times l, exchange of soul devouring pills .. centuries pass… yet not once do these two adults attempt to actually talk out their misunderstanding hanging in their for hundred years ... I mean not even a symbolic missed call to start a conversation. The misunderstanding is dragged so long I started aging with it.
The ML actor genuinely did a good job. He carried his role with conviction. The FL… let’s just say the character didn’t do her any favors, assuming there was talent to work with in the first place. She’s supposed to be a goddess, yet gets humiliated left, right, and center like divinity was an unpaid internship.
Chemistry-wise, both actors look fine as lovers, but they’re wildly out of sync. The kisses are painfully awkward. The ML is out there delivering top-tier, confident kisses while the FL looks like she doesn't know how to press her petals in a kiss.
One thing is clear from this drama and that's 'Emotional overload without emotional payoff is not touching, it’s cringe.'
Final verdict:
Good ML acting. Weak script. Overused clichés. Excessive memory loss. Tears without purpose.
Not vouching for this one, sweetheart. Love may be a luxury for the weak in this universe, but good writing clearly is too. 💅

Pink Steam between uncle and niece-in - law
For a short drama format there were a lot of takeaways from this drama even for the fact that the story was full of cliches.. FL finds out the fiance is cheating on her with her half sister so she finds his hot uncle to make it even with him. They start sleeping together on a whim but later he gets addicted to her and after a lot of trials she finds out he was the one for her all along. A very classic case of ' i-have -already-seen-it'.
But even for its steamy plot I was genuinely amazed to see there weren't real lip locks between the lead couple they almost always used the camera angles to pretend they were kissing.. I don't know why they do it and it was quite questionable as both of them have given kissing scenes comfortably with other co-stars. Yet anyway they created good chemistry. Second thing that amazed me was the FL's styling .. even though it was totally out of the place for the office setting and she dressed more like she was going to a concert or something, but it was still pleasing and very aesthetic for the mini drama format. I loved her dresses, hairstyle, accessories and her overall wardrobe.
In the finale arc things seemed dragged a bit too much like they clearly liked each other but won't share their feelings, emotions and compulsions ..felt a bit unrealistic.
Overall a good drama for one time watching.

A beautiful idea but wasted potential
Even in their best attempt at writing an intellectual plot, Chinese writers just can’t give up their obsession with creating shitty characters. This one was a pitiful endeavour to pull off an Inception-like concept, but I’ll still give credit for the boldness ... at least the writer tried something challenging in a world where most Chinese dramas revolve around mistresses and concubine politics.Still, I can’t defend .., in fact, I hate .... their choice of dramatis personae. If you have the cognitive ability to pick and enjoy such a heavy plot, you’ll most likely get irritated by characters like the ML’s female student. What a pain in the @$$ existence she is ; third-class acting, fourth-class looks, and a completely unnecessary addition to the plot.
Despite its flaws, the drama was fine. At some point, I couldn’t even tell if it was a dream or reality ~ but maybe that’s the whole point.
As for the cast, apart from Li Jiu Lin, everyone else was mediocre. Luna Hu (as Li Meng Wen) was a particularly horrible choice —~~ let’s be real, she looked like an ajumma doing a school uniform cosplay instead of a student. I don’t know which sick-in-the-brain director thought casting her was a good idea.
In the end, if you enjoy non-traditional, confusing, brain-twister plots, give it a try. Otherwise, just skip it.

Revenge , amnesia and other disasters
A lovers-to-enemies story. The classic 'she-believes-he-killed-her clan-so -she's-back-for-revenge' troupe. With the difference of 19-20 everything was almost same as we see is such dramas ..Everything looked fine until the ML started protecting the real culprit by taking the blame .. after that plot falls into a chaos of zombies walking down the street .. blood tears and blindfolds ...
Best thing about the story was unlike most chinese drama this time the FL doesn’t budge .... she stays focused until the end and delivers justice for her clansmen. Karma eventually catches up with this would-be messiah ML ... he suffers grievous injuries and fails to save the culprit he was desperately trying to protect. Hallelujah!!! Everybody!!!
Jiulin and lilan performed extremely good ... If it weren't for their superb acting this drama would've been such a disaster .. I would love see them together again, but in a better story.
So , This is no new story but if you don't have anything to watch and craving for good revenge plot this might be one of your options.

Something's missing
In this time-transmission, body-possession plot, our FL is sent on a mission to travel across dimensions, take over the empress’s body, and transform a tyrant king into a wise and compassionate ruler. To complete this mission, she dies repeatedly, each time waking up in a new body connected to the king — yet no matter who she becomes, he always recognises his beloved wife. This twist gave the drama its most unique charm.Still, the writing glitches were hard to ignore. Every time she possessed a new body, her behaviour was so unmistakably “empress-like” that the ML identified her instantly. There wasn’t even a minimal attempt to hide it, despite the script claiming she didn’t intend to reveal herself.
Even with its flaws, the drama remained simple, engaging, and genuinely entertaining.

A sweet and simple love story ...done right
Disclaimer: First of all, the title does absolutely no justice to the drama. The show has nothing to do with money~and certainly none of it is “coming to” anyone.I personally loved this drama for its simplicity. It has romance, comedy, bits of conspiracy, and a little action, but everything is presented in such an organic, honest way—no unnecessary twists, no plastic theatrics. The plot moves realistically, without those impractical tropes like hiding the truth “for protection” or keeping some grand sacrificial plan a secret. Everything unfolds pragmatically, just the way it should.
Zhi Yue, as the FL, felt painfully mediocre in the first few episodes, but she soon picked up and delivered a much stronger performance. Ze Hui was solid throughout, and his chemistry with Zhi Yue is genuinely lovely. There’s this one scene where he stops her from crying by kissing her… 💕💕 absolutely adorable.
Even though the story is predictable and full of clichés, you should still watch it for the couple... they’re truly charming together.
