"In Blossom... Of nonsense"

This drama was a full-time assault on logic. I tried giving it a chance. I really did. I reached episode 7 hoping it would redeem itself, but instead it kept digging a grave—fitting, since the FL seems obsessed with them.

We start off with a handsome magistrate and a coroner whose face has disfigured due to an accident . They were engaged once upon a time but got separated due to some tragic backstory no one asked for. Now, after ten years, they reunite—and boom, wedding bells.

Enter: the side chic. She’s got a thing for the ML and decides that the most reasonable way to win his love is to—wait for it—swap souls with the FL. And the writers were like, “Yes. Genius. Let’s roll.”

She actually ends up marrying the ML (in the FL’s body), but karma clocks in fast—she gets murdered on the wedding night.
Now half the characters think it’s suicide, others whisper murder. The FL (now in the dead side chic’s body) suspects ML. So what does she do?

Takes her suspicions straight to him and makes him her partner in crime-solving. Like who watson??? I will pick the prime suspect.. okay !! Let that sink in. She thinks this man might’ve murdered her… and she’s like, “Wanna solve your own case with me?”

She throws every clue his way like she’s auditioning for a role in Scooby-Doo. She stumbles around crime scenes like a budget Sherlock Holmes with a head injury and leaves around her trails everywhere just the ML to catch her in her actions without even pitt ng any efforts.

now let's talk about the ML? The show stopper of Zero concern. This fan girl around him who used to obsess over makeup and manners, whose life was entirely about grace and appearance, suddenly starts unearthing corpses and talking decomposition—and he just goes like totally chill and unbothered. I mean if this is intelligence than I might be a cucumber in the physics lab.
Not once does he raise an eyebrow. Not once does he question the creepy new hobbies or the personality change that screams demonic possession or body snatching at minimum.

It’s like the entire cast is allergic to logic.

I already know if I watch till the end, I’ll find more gaping plot holes than a block of Swiss cheese. But why torture myself when there are other dramas that don’t insult your IQ?

This one was a mystery, a romance, and a horror—all rolled into one... horror for anyone expecting sense.

Better off Asleep

I went into this show with high hopes—it’s from the creators of Pinocchio, so I expected the same magic. But, let’s just say it didn't even meet half of my expectations.

First off, the female lead (don’t even remember her name),I was kind of hoping for someone who’d hit me with that Park Shin Hye-level charm, whom I missed dearly. This was my first time seeing this actress, she’s good, I don’t think she’ll make it to my favorites. The chemistry with the male lead was so-so too.

And the narration? Oh, the excessive, endless narration. Each episode is loaded with monologues and POVs from male lead, female lead, side characters, probably even the neighbor’s cat. trying to explain every little thing. Imagine having a thrilling crime drama pause every five minutes to give a detailed commentary on everyone’s psychology. I’m not here for a lecture—I’m here for the drama!


The mom character had me laughing until she went off the rails after finding out about the leads’ shared past. She decides to hide a ring that the male lead gave to the female lead. Like, okay? Was this supposed to change anything? Because I’m pretty sure he could just buy another ring.




Then there's the whole future-vision power fiasco. These characters can literally foresee life-or-death situations, yet they repeatedly walk right into them. If I saw a vision of myself getting hurt in a certain place, I’d be making plans far away from there. But they seem determined to test fate at every turn. It’s like they have a superpower but refuse to read the manual.


Oh, and randomly, a side character suddenly becomes fully color-blind. Talk about bizarre! Add to that some uninspired wardrobe choices.

Overall this was the type of drama which will force you to revisit your life choices.

Not gonna waste my time on this one

Watched 15 mins of episode 1 and instantly knew I was heading toward a breakup—with the show. The leads already met, one already head-over-heels... great, now what? Bake cookies? Zero suspense. Still gave it a shot, but then came the scene—ML tries to show FL her boyfriend’s cheating, and instead of opening her eyes, she scolds him. I actually paused to check if I was watching a parody. I’ve endured enough stupid FLs for a lifetime, thank you very much. No tension, no twist, just recycled drama in a sparkly wrapper. Dropped it faster than the FL dropped her common sense. Moving on.
No regrets, just relief. 🫡🗑️

I am still trying to figure out why I watched even 5 episodes of this crap

Wang zu yi did such a great job with Daisy li in perilous love ( acting in concerned) ..I like him a lot but I don't know if this pathetic storyline is the reason, he looked just below average in this drama ..the role ..I mean it didn't suit him at all ...
Secondly the FL ..oh my god ..such an ugly face plus no talent of acting whatsoever... I watched "the rebel empress" and wrote an entire pointer essay on her pathetic acting .... She is such a steaming pile of horseshit ... Neither beautiful nor talented .. just third class ... Anyways I will still ignore her but the storyline in this drama has a serious problem of distinguishing past and present events ... Nothing makes sense ... she broke up with with 5 years ago on text and yet sits in his car shamelessly as soon as she meets him again ... Why cause he is holding a god damned bag for me ... He took her for a lunch and she is sitting like she doesn't owe him any explanation... Come on !! If a person do something so horrible with other person he/ she will either ignore them or give them an explanation as soon as they meet again. This FL just sits in his car like he is some driver appointed by her father ..so ridiculous...

My condolences to people who actually watched it to the end

Probably the quickest drop

This is probably the quickest that I ever dropped a drama .. just 2 episodes in and I knew I won't be able to tolerate this till the end. Watching third episode was already test of patience.
Reasons this didn't worked out for me:

1) lead characters are not inspiring enough : the big fat bully Male lead who forced the demon lord fella to give his core even when clearly demons were the first ones to suffer.. I have zero to negative affinity for such protagonists.. he borrowed the power of FL divine fire and bullied the third party .. I mean what's next , giving him nobel peace prize for this? .
The FL character is equally bogus .. she has absolutely no say in anything ..whosoever takes her power for their use ..she literally like the stinky towel wrestler use after each rounds to wipe them off.

2) main cast : I don't know if the character disappointed me more or the cast .. not a fan of yun long nothing about his acting or looks fancy me ..just not my type. He is old enough yet his acting is so mediocre, I mean what's his excuse ?? there are so many actors like geng xin ( lead from legend of shen li) who are about his age but you can clearly see the difference in quality of their performance.
Female lead was fine . though over shadowed by the sizzling guest appearances.


3) A big bouquet of popular faces but plot was not doing any justice , looks like they spent all budget on cast and no allowances remain to hire a good writer .

4) I watched till ep 3 but I already knew this show is going to have an unnecessarily long list of characters.. well I don't mind if the story is good .. but I cant say that for this one.

And let’s be real—if I pushed through two more episodes, I’d find five more reasons to ghost this drama, so why waste the brain cells?

Will i ever be revisiting this ?

Hell No .. I will chose watching something like moonlight mystique tenth time with eating plain oats over watching this even once.

PS: 3 out the 3.5 star rating I gave, goes to ming hao ..boy saved the day for me ❤️

The Future” Looked Bright… Until She Showed Up

First of all, the title is highly misleading. Anyone reading it would assume we’re diving into a time-travel plot—maybe some epic sci-fi twists or at least a dramatic wormhole. But no, “future” here just means the ML is into robotics and owns a few gadgets that scream “futuristic vibes.”

Now don’t get me wrong—the plot had promise! We’ve got a smart male lead, cohabitation, a classic contract relationship... basically, a setup that could’ve been fun, even without anything too wild. I was ready to be mildly entertained at worst.

She is not even worth discussing... ' TOTALLY TALENTLESS' horrible dialogue delivery, horrible expression, horrible spontaneity, horrible , body language ... LASTLY horrible face. Seems like the casting directors in china have fetishes for young girls ( or those who can act like one) otherwise there is no way you can't get decent talent in a country with a 1.4 billion population.
After spending a truckload on the cast, sets, equipment, production and marketing... You give the wheel to such incompetent FL ...even the ML was annoyed as there was literally zero chemistry.

Baseless and boring

( starts with a fairy trying to make a pact with devil in order as instructed by her grandpa ..devil appears and just bites her ...) this all is a part of game she is playing ... Like preface of the game.

It was okay until now .. then starts a lousy narration in which she explains about the game and related reality ...and suddenly we see the devil and fairy have already became a friendly couple ... The hell ... No context about how their feelings grew ...no build up of the story ... Just out of nothing they appear in a "caring for each other" phase .... For Pete's sake they are devil and fairy ...do they fall in love just like that ...
Honestly speaking the way the story progresses suddenly it was indeed best to be developed as a game but I don't think you should portray a drama in such inconsistent manner ...
Can't tell if the story got any better afterwards but I decided to drop it after episode 1 .. time is too precious to waste on a drama that doesn't have a nice pilot episode ...

Feeling bad Guan Yue ..he was looking very handsome and acted well ..but damn it to hell this lousy script turned the entire drama into a waste ..
