Don't judge the series just by initial few episodes..
The plot is rather frustrating & slow paced at the beginning as we see ML dies without doing much and FL hopelessly bullied by even the servants of the household.I thought of dropping it around episode 8 glad I didn't.As anyone would expect the return of ML to life and taking it further with the revenge ...but to my surprise first half was totally about FL avenging her husband's death,all alone.
HONESTLY THIS WAS NEW AND THE BEST THING ABOUT THE STORY.
in the first half, she SINGLEHANDEDLY won against the villian. her planning,execution,devotion and focus to the target was commendable,like she was willing to even give away her body to serve her revenge WHAT A BEAUTIFULLY DARK FL 🖤
The story had some very sensitive plots break like rape and assault to the point of miscarriage but I believe not every story can serve the purpose of fairytale.some series are better off without vanilla romance
Huge appreciation to Vincent who played this disgusting to the core psychopath rapist villian.

Pre world war era .. 1937-1945 sino Japan war time setting.
It is my first time watching something that expresses pre world war era with chinese POV ... It is always the west countries who propagate their narrative of the world war.... So in my opinion the theme was very refreshing to those who have intellect to feel it... Other than that there was one more thing that I found very impressive is the FL character ... Her potential ..her strong will ..her intelligence ... I love the way she kept her mission over everything .... She is an inspiration for thousands of girls out there who just look for a chance to give up on their already good for nothing career just to get laid ... No offense but we need more of such character to show the world what real feminism means ...ML was amazing as ever I have seen him in a couple of shows and the characters like marshal ... Governor ..etc actually suit him him ...the authority of a strong character actually appears through him quite effortlessly ...
After reading few review I çame to understand some people found the ending quite confusing .. actually after death of general Yamamoto Japanese had to postpone the war ..which gave qin city enough time me to call for extra troops that led to their victory in the region after just a few months of struggle .. As the FL says winter has started ...we will meet when the spring bloom .." hope this helps 💖🙏💖🙏
The drama in my opinion is worth watching I beleive anyone can put atleast one reason forward to appreciate the beautiful story ...
(Of course not for those who are living in a bubble and treat every love story as soft porn )

Neo said "TRUST ME" and I did .....
Right from the moment this drama was announced,I was already screaming “take my time!”. It was all over my insta feed ... Neo finally getting a good female lead? At last my prayers are answered ✨✨ For the last few dramas, my poor boy was suffering from tragic screen-time cuts and horrible Fl who had the emotional range of wet toast. I will not speak much cause then the fan girls will start a war against me ... but hallelujah, both those curses have been lifted. Lu Yu Xiao entered like a GOWDESS (using my international accent here) ~ stunning, expressive, mamma Mia ... hands-down one of my favourite actresses, an absolute show-stealer.now let's dive into the details:
🌸 PLOT :
Butter smooth , Fluffy Like a Cloud
The storyline glides beautifully i mean I experienced no dull moments, okay there was some misunderstanding stretched into 15 episodes but I don't mind it personally, overall it is soft mix of humor, mystery, and action, with layered conspiracy. NiCe !!!
The real showstopper, though? Sisterhood. 🙌
For once, no jealous vamps, no “he’s mine!” nonsense... just women supporting women sharing genuine, warm bonds.. ahh !! Like a breath of fresh air.
Can we please make this the new trend? Yes THANK YOU 🫶
🎭 Characters:
Buffet of Brilliance ... I can't have somany favourites in one pot but here I have ...
1. ML (Ji Bozai )- Smart, kind, and heartbreakingly good-looking. Despite his tragic childhood and his inability to trust people .. he’s not that typical revenge-driven hero. He’s calm, focused, thoughtful and deliciously balanced, a perfect male lead material.
2. FL (Ming yi)– Beauty with brains with a dash of chaos. She’s no damsel waiting for rescue — she’s the one lighting the torch, decisively choosing her path , and occasionally outsmarting the hero. Even when poisoned, she stands stronger than most people on their best day both physically and emotionally.
3. Princess Tianji – Now that’s a queen arc done right. Betrayed, sidelined, and still managing to hold her crown without dropping her grace. Though she gets her person of interest in the end but honestly her love story wasn't as appealing as Watching her evolve from heartbreak to empowerment was ...... She embodies the modern spirit of women ~ wise, wounded, but walking tall.
4. Twenty-Seven – the adorable cat familiar. Sassy, loyal, and constantly on the edge of trouble. Basically the emotional support cat we all need.
PS : I used to have a cat, she refused to give even 2 damns about me in the overall span of 1.5 years she stayed with me. Get me thinking if the cat familiar can be so faithful?
5. Zhang tai ~ the ride-or- die bestie and emotional support warrior every heroic FL deserves...
6. Buxiu : ML’s dragon familiar, the blunt truth-bomb dispenser who deserves his own spin-off show, honestly.
🎬 CAST:
no weak links or Overshadowing
Neo Hao (HMH) : My forever favourite! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: my boy is pure talent plus kawaii pro max . His expressions, his voice, his intensity just lovely .. And I am glad he finally got a role worthy of his range. He’s charming, intense, and this time, he turned up the heat to “passionate lover mode”,Those kissing scenes? Phew.!!!!! 🔥 (Source : ep 23 first 10 min)
Lu Yu Xiao: My girl crush, my goddess of expressions. From assassin in My Journey to You to bubbly businesswoman in Perfect Match, she has played a good bandwidth of role genres. Awesome !! For someone her age.
Her chemistry with Neo felt quite natural, Their comedic timing .. good .. emotional sync ..chef's kiss 💋
And the side cast deserves a whole standing ovation too , familiar faces like Quan Yilun, Hu Yunhao, and Hu Caihong.Pretty decent IMO
👘 Styling:
Very xianxia in every bit.
high-budget fantasy elegance ,. Flowing gowns, detailed embroidery, graceful hairdos, reflecting the same vibe like cult fav LBFAD, TTEOTM and Moonlight Mystique glamorous and fantasy perfect.
🏯 SET DESIGN AND VISUAL APPEAL:
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen most of these sets before, but the CGI and VFX team made them look brand new. The floating boats aesthetics? Seemed something well thought... The whole world looked realistic with least to nil green-screen awkwardness.
🎵 MUSIC:
Beautiful, But Missing that 'WOW' track.
The OST is soft and soulful (extra love for the one sung by Neo himself 🥰)., But I wish there was one standout track that makes you say, “That’s the Love in the Clouds song.” you know like the one that sticks in your head long after the finale. So overall music is lovely, but not legendary. May be they could have used a sa dingding track here
💭 Final Thoughts:
I had high hopes for this drama and I am more than satisfied. i thought I will not get anything better than Moonlight mistique this year ... (Thanks to feud makers) But this one just made me happier.
✨Totally, completely, and unapologetically recommended. ☁️💫

From story of BORING palace to story of LOVING palace
Well !! I would have rated this show a solid 9 if it weren't for the boring first half. No doubt the story is good, but the way it is written failed to impress me ... The issue is stated on the screen pretty much within the first two episodes after that they are just beating around the bush with absolutely no rigid substance being added the development of the story . Honestly I thought of dropping this drama a multiple times but I like bailu a lot so I kept going.Around Episode 18 the plot picks up some momentum and remains the same till the end.
There is nothing much to pin point about the casting as all actors including leads are veterans and they known how to deliver the best.previously I wasn't much of a fan of the ML actor but he was amazing in his role here ..I guess I like him now ❤️❤️❤️ ok might as well check his other shows.
Ost was just so-so.
Rewatch value ..well that's subjective.. If i were ever to watch it again I might skip ep 3-17

I Am Nobody: The Showdown Between Yin & Yang
4 people found this review helpful
I was expecting more
This story might be good on its own ..but as a continuation to its season 1 .. the plot turned into a big disappointment. core cast is totally ignored their character are left untouched with no apparent development. The whole season is circling around a girl who sweats ..vomits and even poops poison .. ( and yeah the furnace boy with GOD COMPLEX) .. I understand this all was part of the comic/book plot but watching this one directional plot after a long wait of one to one and a half year feels disappointing .. I was really looking forward to a rigid development... .I missed wang ye (Neo huo to be exact) wish he had longer screen time ( can't help it's the book plot 😭😭😭)
Moving forward, the pace of the plot is not very impressive either, which was the case with the previous season as well but that was compensated by the pinch of entertainment provided by the martial art tournament. Unfortunately this season doesn't have any such element just too blend and tasteless.
Though this factor doesn't make much of a difference but ost in this season didn't create the magic as the one in the previous season did ... Honestly if you ask me this ost sounds like a chaotic concoction of sounds ,very displeasing.. (can be skipped anyway)
It might be good on its own but the previous season set such high standards that just good wasn't enough. Anyways we are still left with 4 episodes Who knows a surprise is awaiting us.

Too mellow for a revenge story
Revenge plot ... My ass !!!I don't generally give rude reviews but ..well .. this show was so disoriented and disordered in all its aspects that I just can't help it.
Okay first I love a fast to atleast moderate paced story ( my personal preference) ..just can't deal with the beating around the BUTT story that reflects low level creativity of the writer ..
Secondly I hate to see why most writers want to convey the message of forgiveness instead to straight justice ..I mean ..the husband killed and buries her alive..cause crises to her family that led to their deaths, he even ruined her character by planting a naked man in her bed ...and yet she was asking him if he wants a second chance ... If i were in this FL place I would have dragged this despicable man by his hair and thrown into the gates of hell ...
That's why I don't like these half-assed revenge plots .. most writers don't have the caliber to justify such plots but they write anyway huh !! They were even playing a romantic background song in this murderer husband's scenes ... 🤮🤮🤮😒 I mean can you believe this.
The FL temperament was so out the place with the plot.Her ways of escaping teg trouble is too lame .. the writer created a nonsensical phatasm that you can solve any issue as long as you are look decent and are eloquent
There is no proper strategy she is just sailing the ship around arguments like ' you need to understand if you do this you will be responsible for that ..and if you do that you will be scared of this .. blah blah blah ' ..every one in the town is manipulated by her this and that theory/threats. I wonder if the writer thinks as long as you can give some this against some that theory in your argument you might as well be able to avoid a world war.
And most importantly even if you have to make things so ugly you can drop a hint in first five episodes so people can drop it on time ..why dragging it all the way to 30 episodes and end up offering a second chance ( though husband lived up to my expectations and rejected the chance )
And then you actually wrap up the sweet revenge within last 5 episodes ... As if people were here for the melodrama
If I have to summarise this one was too mellow for my taste in revenge plots ... Even low budget drama are doing better than this.

Demon buffet
I started this drama just for the lead ~~ Xu Kai and Tian Xiwei ...and my god !! What a duo .... ❤️🫶Two years ago, I even commented on Xu Kai’s Instagram wishing he’d work with Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye. I never thought it’d actually happen, but here we are... and frankly speaking it passed all my expectations .
Other aspects :
Plot : in the beginning it felt like 'warm on the cold night' plot detective-y and suspenseful (with gender roles reversed) but soon diverged into demon catching ..further good vs evil ~ save the world plot. Though overall pace was consistent but somewhere around ep 20-26 the unveiling of events slowed I was literally thinking of dropping it here but I didn't ... Anyway after crossing an entire 5-7 episode long valley of boredom .. plot moved ...felt a little rushed at last but at least every important issue was addressed.
Loopholes : black snake demon was in prison for 100 years yet he had hatred against FL cat lord who became a demon 18 years ago ( i can't understand why ?? If you know please feel free to explain in the comments)
Cast :
Tian xi wei : girl is being criticised for her acting in GOTD (though I liked her a lot) but with this performance she must have silenced her haters. She added a good pinch of mature seduction to her original playful and sweet aura this time and delivered a good chemistry with Xu kai.
As far as the character of Wu Zhen is concerned, I loved this female protagonist, but I’m sorry — she wasn’t my favorite. Her never-ending forgive-all streak irritated me a lot. People were conspiring right under her nose, and she was ignoring them like
Xu Kai: brilliant!!! Outstanding!!! Mesmerizing!!! But honestly, this is like his fourth or fifth drama with the same aura, just in a different shade. Every single time it’s the same loop: he meets the FL, falls fast, messes up because of some compulsive obsessive/ revenge vendetta, she leaves, he becomes brutal to mend things , and then happy ending. Wonderland of Love, Ancient Love Poetry, Dance of the Sky Empire, and now this one. My boy’s officially typecast! I’m just relieved he’s doing a crime thriller next ... finally, some fresh air for him and us.
Rest cast and guest appearances were good as well.
Music: Ringtone-worthy OST totally ticks the vibe check with this thrilling plot.
Set design: exquisite and very detailed along with realistic green screen scenes takes the watching experience to a whole different level.
CGi special effects were great
Styling is a fusion of wuxia ( lords and dukes and xianxia ( demon and immortal) which is rarely seen.
In a nutshell, this drama was pure entertainment ... full of fun, drama, and charm. Sure, the middle episodes dragged a bit, but overall? Totally worth the watch. It keeps you hooked enough to forgive those slow moments.
Recommended ❤️

GEUDAENEUN HABGYEOG (you pass)
Okay, first things first—this drama had me hooked from the get-go. Not because of the romance (which, let’s be real, was as underwhelming as a half-baked pancake), but because of the sheer chaos, bromance, and absolute fashion madness. If you’re here for a unique fantasy story, congratulations, you’re in the right place. But if you’re here for an epic, swoon-worthy love story… well, let's just say you might find yourself distracted by literally everything else in the drama.Bromance > Romance
The bromance between Son Oh Gong (our monkey king) and Ma Wang (the bull demon) was the real MVP here. These two were constantly at each other’s throats, throwing insults and furniture, yet still had the most unbreakable bond. Ma Wang, with his theatrical expressions and over-the-top reactions, was basically me when my food delivery is late. Oh Gong, on the other hand, was all sass and mischief but had a weirdly charming way of showing he cared. Their interactions alone made the whole show worth it.
Bu Ja - The True Star
Now, let’s talk about my precious zombie girl, Jin Bu Ja (aka Ah Sa Nyeo). She was adorable, tragic, hilarious, and somehow at the center of everyone’s lives. Her interactions with literally every character were more interesting than the supposed "main romance." Watching her navigate her fate, get tangled in magical nonsense, and even steal some hearts along the way was one of the best parts of the drama.
The Fashion Game Was Unreal
Forget the supernatural creatures and demon-slaying—let’s talk about the outfits. Every single male character looked like they just walked out of a high-fashion runway show. Son Oh Gong’s coats? Legendary. Ma Wang’s flashy suits? Iconic. Even their sleepwear was straight-up chef’s kiss perfection. Like, do these guys even own a single bad outfit? I swear, their wardrobe budget was bigger than the CGI budget.
Speaking of the CGI...
Ah, yes. The special effects. There were moments when I was impressed, and then there were moments when I had to pause just to process what I was seeing. Some of the magical creatures looked like they had escaped from a 2005 video game, and yet, it all somehow worked? Maybe because the drama itself was so extra that it just fit the vibe.
Repetitive Plot Syndrome
As much as I love this drama, I have to be honest—some plot points went in circles. Like, how many times can the same villain manipulate the same two characters with the same fake promises? We got it, move on. There were moments I wanted to scream, "Bestie, we’ve been here before!" But did that stop me from watching? Absolutely not.
The FL Was… There.
Now, about the female lead. Poor thing. It’s not even her fault—her character was written like an afterthought. She spent most of the show crying, getting into trouble, and being rescued. At one point, I genuinely forgot she was the main character because the side characters were outshining her left and right. The drama tried to make her "strong" by giving her some mystical powers, but even then, she just felt… bland.
The Real Show-Stealers
Let’s be honest, the true stars of the show were:
Ma Wang – A literal drama king with the best expressions.
Jin Bu Ja – My adorable zombie girl.
Dog Secretary (Lee El) – The most loyal and savage assistant ever.
These three carried the show on their backs, and I loved every second of it.
The OST Had Me in a Chokehold
The background music was immaculate. "Always Behind You" has been living in my head rent-free ever since I finished the drama. The songs just hit, especially during the emotional scenes (even when I wasn’t emotionally invested in the romance).
Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, A Korean Odyssey made it onto my favorites list. The magic, the chaos, the fashion, and the side characters made it an unforgettable ride. Will I rewatch it? Absolutely. Will I fast-forward through some parts? Also absolutely. But hey, that’s part of the charm.

Lackluster!! To put it nicely
The show is extremely boring especially the first 5 episodes were so annoying.. i personally hate the plots where one gender is given baised amount of spotlight. Take this drama for example ... The FL is out to avenge her brother ... But her plans ..her strategy ..her overall execution is so damn lame ..I mean you wanna enter a party and you have no preparation to obtain its gate pass you seduce a random Stranger and by default his pass was there in left pocket you get it and you enter .... Seriously writer you want us to believe this crap. ?!! As if this nonsense wasn't enough we get an over smart Ex FBI agent ML who reaches absolutely any place to turn the FL plans into big failure... At some point I was wondering if this invisible omnipresent ML might as well appear in my room ... Honestly speaking the entire show is bogus but first 5 episodes were intensely unbearable.The Character of FL is third class .. she is told to be a genius but her actions ... She walks into the obvious traps like a retard ... Has no survival skills and if it weren't for the ML she might have died before the drama even started.
ML character .another boring one ... Type of role that you forget withing 30 min of watching the show ..
There was one more shocking thing about the plot ... There is no normal parent here ..every parent is using their child either for business or for money ..no normal parenthood.. insane right?
Lead actors are okay ..FL is good looking her acting is okay .. ML not impressive.. this was my first time watching him ..and i already have enough.
Ost was good ..as per the theme of the show... quite apt..but plot is so mediocre that even fine BGM couldn't help .
You can watch this or you can watch paint dry. Truth me both have same satisfaction

"DOCTORS: prescription for DISAPPOINTMENT"
This show sets high expectations with its title, hinting at a medical-heavy plot, but the reality is far from that. Despite its dramatic title, medicine barely makes up 15% of the storyline. For anyone hoping for genuine medical insight, this show may feel like a letdown, especially compared to others like Dr. Romantic, which focuses a solid 80% on medical content and offers far more authentic hospital drama.The love story in Doctors feels forced, and the chemistry between the leads lacks depth—particularly on the male lead's side. While I admire Park Shin Hye, even her charm couldn't salvage the awkward dynamic between the couple. There’s a certain stiffness in their romantic moments that feels off, and it's disappointing because both actors are incredibly talented.
Lee Sung Kyung is versatile, but her character in Doctors is frustratingly flat and indecisive, leaving her little to work with. It’s far from her best role, and her potential seems wasted. Yoon Kyun Sang, too, is underwhelming, playing a character that merely fills the gaps in the story without adding much to the overall plot.
Sadly, Doctors fails to impress across the board. Neither the story nor the cast stand out, and the music is forgettable. This is the kind of show you start, intending to finish, but ultimately abandon halfway through, never to return. 😔

FL overacting spoilt a drama of great potential
Though the story has its own flaws but in my opinion the flaws can be ignored if the performing artists are convincing enough ...I have seen the ML in back from the brink and honestly his performance as a support role was way better than this one as the main role ..though he tried to maintain the composure of a fox demon and conveyed his emotions of rage quite well but the romantic scene were a little off ...
As for FL, she was disaster .. very non spontaneous though her character is comic and it demands spontaneity yet she tried to cover her horrible performance with over acting which made it even worse ... For example whenever she acted the drunk her performance clearly wanna apart ...
Chemistry between the leads is totally off .. even this kissing scene didn't resonate the emotions ..for some reason I felt they were not comfortable together...
Story was bit slow ... Dynamics of twists were missing ..comedy punches were weak,performed by even weaker artist.
Re-watch value zero

Not bad ..Not spellbinding..
The initial 6-7 episodes, I was this🤏close to ghosting this drama. Why? Because it opened with the most overused xianxia starter pack ever. ML lying unconscious in his core for a century in the middle of nowhere, only to be awakened by the FL. This savior is conveniently a lookalike of his ex lover who betrayed him and killed him. Add the usual human vs demon feud with elf, fairy and immortals making wildcard entries, opportunists of both sides taking advantage of the situation to exploit the innocent ones.The storyline feels like a neatly stitched quilt made from leftover pieces of popular xianxia dramas, Literally everything felt like hitting a Deja vu.
Anyways Episode 9 onwards the plot starts taking shape.. it's not like you will escape the cliches but they will be less obvious at this point.
Now, let’s talk cast. HMH is my favorite, no debate. His acting, his voice, his screen presence, chef’s kiss. But compared to the emotional hurricane he was in Love in the Clouds, here he feels… restrained. Subtle is fine, but some expressions feel oddly flat. Especially those past-life romance scenes with Niag’an. I’ve seen this man look at a co-star like the world stops spinning, but here the gaze felt vacant, almost awkward. His character in the drama is also TOO direct, there is nothing much to do apart from reciting the dialogues with a straight face and shedding a tear or two every now and then..
This is my first Tang Song Yun drama,She’s good, very convincing, especially her youthful and childlike voice. Since this is my only exposure to her work, I won’t overanalyze. She’s doing her job well, and I’m content. Her character is charming , naughty , smart and willful just the right blend and she is doing a good justice to it.
The chemistry between the two is okay-ish, Not skipping-a-beat-type dynamic. Felt flat cause there was not enough buildup to justify their 'sudden spark of love '.
Ironically, the supporting cast and guest appearances stole more of my attention...Wang Duo, Chen Xing Hai, Wang Xi Wei and especially Zhou Li Ying, her character has not even been introduced properly and she is already overshadowing the FL.
Technically, the drama delivers as much as it could with that stolen fragments of storytelling. Fight scenes look more like casting-spells magical rather than mechanical. The CGI sets are gorgeous, especially the demon realm. Pink glowing grass, silvery skies, glittery blue waters, tiny living herbs with baby houses. Cute overload 🥰❤️ Styling and wardrobe though? Meh. Very safe, very recycled. I’ve seen this look before in LBFAD and Sword and Fairy. Nothing fresh.
And the BGM was good which is again similar to a very popular xianxia, IYKYK (hint : Xu kai is the lead)
So yeah, for now, I’m holding on for the cast and praying the plot finds its spine.
PS: I will edit this review if things improve.
Edit: things didn't improve .. instead gotten worse ..so i dropped the rating to a seven... I am sorry but that's the best I can give to this drama.

A Jade Worth the Pursuit, Worth the Wait...
My inner critic says this drama deserves a 10/10... 100/10, but my superstitious side rating it li'l lower cause I don't wanna jinx the remaining episodes. We will talk about that once the finale is delivered.Anyway I am sure whosoever follows chinese drama bites on insta and other platforms knows the buzz around this drama was insane. And as any TXW and ZLH admirer I was also waiting for it desperately, but ...Was it worth the wait .. ?
Ans: yes .. totally... Without a doubt ..100 percent...
And here's why ...
Plot and Characters:
In a small village on the outskirts of a country constantly threatened by war, our FL runs a pig-butchering business. She has brute strength that can overpower even trained martial artists, and on top of that she is beautiful, intelligent, kind, charming, and funny. She is also the head of her family.
Our ML matches her well: handsome, kind, righteous, smart,respectful-and-respected and true to his words and goals.
The drama presents multiple villains, from ruthless psychopaths to selfish schemers. Supporting characters vary too, showing many shades of personality. The plot moves smoothly, and few episodes especially deliver an extra adrenaline rush.
Cast:
Tian Xiwei and Zhang Linghe are amazing as the leads, both bringing their absolute best to the screen. Their looks fit the roles perfectly, and their acting truly brings their characters to life. On top of that, their chemistry is beautiful and calming in a uniquely satisfying way.. Honestly, I would love to see this pair reunite in another project because their on-screen dynamic is something worth experiencing again.
There are also some well-known faces in the supporting cast like Snow Kong, Yang Yue, and Deng Kai. Altogether it’s a decent cast, and what I appreciated most is that the screen time is shared quite fairly. The story doesn’t revolve only around the protagonists while everyone else stands like decorative palace pillars. Side characters actually get their moments too, which makes the overall narrative feel balanced and alive.
Music / BGM:
The BGM and songs are amazing, especially the track 'WHATS DONE IS DONE'... Such a beautiful piece 🥺🥺❤️ It carries this emotional softness that quietly sneaks into your heart...AHH!! Right now it’s basically living on loop on my phone… . 🥺❤️
Costume Design and styling:
The costume design is also done well. Every attire and styling felt very appropriate for the specific role and situation. Whether it’s the leads or the supporting characters, the outfits match their personalities and status nicely, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the drama’s world.
In a nutshell.. i love everything about this drama and I can see myself re-watching it multiple times in future. This is definitely gonna be one of my go-to dramas.
edit : changed it to 10/10. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don't understand the fuss about this show .. it was boring
After reading a lot of comments and reviews I started watching the show ... But I don't think it is worth the hype ... Richard was the only good thing about this show ..story sucked . . FL character sucked ..her acting sucked ... Momentum of the plot sucked ... It was surely not my cup of tea ... The worst thing was the dimwit FL even if I ignore the cringe dialogue still overall character was pathetic .. she is sort of an undercover agent yet she has no sense of entering a place stealthily... She just walks like a stupid person right in the middle of hall ... Worst undercover agent in history ... Please stop writing such retard female lead characters ...women can play better undercover agents why tf do these writers turn them so cliche and cringe ... Pfft!!!Was this review helpful to you?

I want to hit my head against the wall
Such a nonsensical plot filled with just crap and idiocy.First let's talk about lead actors
Guan Yue was just okay ..I have seen his other shows and genuinely he was not even half as good in this one. Blame it on his weak character or pathetic dialogue writing ..but I like nothing about his character or act.
Now FL !!! Her face looked so beat-up like she is coming to the shooting straight out of her bed ... Her hairstyle was lame ... And did she even take a bath ??? How can someone look so sleepy in the entire show .. and her acting is even more pathetic.. for this weird and complicated character I prefer an actress who can atleast look more AWAKE.
The side character ... Like her bFF and the internet celeb guy were horrible as well ..
Spoiler alert: the FL is having illusions of her boss (ML) where she is imaging him in a bath robe saying all the naughty stuff. ~ Girl !! First of all being attracted to someone is a normal thing but the extremes of your illusions say you are watching too much porn .. all girls have fantasy of being wild with their partners/romantic interests but this is insane, you need help ... Visit a good psychiatrist or reach to some rehab centre...
Infact, It turned so annoying that you will get confused what is real and what's her illusion ..so damn messy.
On top her "won't date won't marry" rule ; like gimme a break! you are ready to climb up his bed ..you are having illusions of him doing the BDSM all day long .. you looked like you are so deprived of a Pen*s .. now with such fragile sexual compass you can not have that heavy "no date no marriage" rule ...
In the end I felt I was totally drained of my patience and ability to take nonsense though I just completed half of the episodes. (Enough to make a clear judgement)
I don't recommend this one at all .
