A lovable and appealing farm romance amidst non-appealing family matters
I was quite skeptical to watch this but after reading the reviews, I gave it a try and trust me, it didnt disappoint me. Glad that I watched it, though late, it really entertained me!!The plot is simple with our female lead, Lian Man'er, entering a NPC game designed by a gaming company and all the experiences, difficulties, hurdles, love, hate, friendship, family relations, tensive moments, and, of course, trying her level best to gather 1000taels of gold, all form the crux of the story.
Tian Xiwei as Lian Man'er, is awesome. Seriously, I am totally impressed by her performance as a quirky, cheerful, smart, intelligent, village girl with also a bit of kindness and humanity to her personality. She is full of business ideas and works very hard to earn money, and all the emotions and struggles she undergo were excellently portrayed by her. 👏💯
Joseph Zheng as Shen Nuo, is my favorite character in this drama. He is cool, smart, loving, caring, gentle, helping, amiable,and becomes the most reliable person for Man'er, also the person she wants to be with. His acting is splendid 😍💯
I really liked the love track between them, which is a sensible and mature love story.
Coming to her family, they are the epitomes of all the worst thoughts of human hearts, we can think of in this world.
And how Man'er gets her way through this family out and finally with Shen Nuo, save the country from a rebellion forms the latter story.
The photography and locations deserve a great appreciation. 👍👌The backdrop was very pleasant and eye appealing for me. I really love it.
The music is excellent too, especially the track, You, and me. Its become one of my favorites now 😍
On a final note, if anyone is thinking to watch this drama, go ahead without any hesitation and you will certainly enjoy it.
A MUST WATCH HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DRAMA. 👌

As long as you turn around, I am always there!!!
Reborn, is a message oriented, highly emotional family drama, which definitely leaves an impact on you, imho.It comes with a simple yet most complex plot line told through the suffering of a family, especially through our protagonist , Qiao Qing Yu and her family, whose lives turn upside down after the death of her sister, Qiao Bei Yu.
It showcases the predujuces she abd her family face due to her sister's death, the emotional trauma each of them carries, that has been buried in their hearts, the ugly side of familial relations and many other issues that everyone of us can relate to in our real life.
It showcases the bond between parents and children, choosing between society and relatives and our children, and how sometimes, everything the children need is only a simple line from their parents-"I am there and will always be with you ", that really makes a huge differene in the lives of children.
Anyways, the plot is about how Qiao Qing Yu, the female lead brings justice to her sister, who wasn't stopped judging by the society even after death and how she overcomes all these emotional struggles and leads her family to a joyuos home, is all what this drama is about.
I really liked the way, the story proceeds very realistically.
The female lead, Qiao Qing Yu, played by Zhang Jingyi, is perhaps the most serious female character, I have ever watched. She is firm, determined, confident, stubborn, strong, who stands up for her sister, to bring justice for her. She, though being impulsive, in the beginning, definitely grows to be a mature young girl. She is not the typical female lead that we often see, but under her silence, you can see how powerful she is enduring everything, yet trying to stand up for what she believes. She is fearless, bold and brave.
Zhang Jingyi, really surprised me with her STUNNING, OUTSTANDING performance. She carried the whole show excellently. An excellent, fabulous acting from her💯👍👏
Now coming to Ming Sheng, he is my favourite character in this drama, the male lead, brings out the smile in our Qing Yu, always supports her unconditionally, was the only one who was there for her in her loneliest and toughest times of her life, always finds her,helps her and clears the obstacles in her life.
Zhou yiran, as I said, is an excellent actor and this is another work of him that exactly highlights his excellent acting skills👍👌
Liu Dan, the actress who played her mother, deserves a special applause for her outstanding performance as a mother, who lost one daughter, trying to protect another daughter, undergoing depression, supporting family,a heavy burden deeply buried in her heart and yet under trauma, that sometimes makes Qing yu suffer.
The music was excellent with lyrics carrying powerful messages.
The production, photography, every thing were perfect.
What I like the most in this drama, is the underlying beautiful Love story between the leads. I liked how she can be what she is, in the presence of Ming Sheng. He has been the only person who supported her both emotionally, physically and also, personally and professionally. He was always there for her, her "LIGHTHOUSE".
I liked the idea of how the director and the writers have showed us the unconditional support and love of Ming Shen to Qing Yu through the "legend of lighthouse".
"Some of my fave lines are-
Ming Sheng to Qing yu-As long as you turn around, I will always be there.
Qing Yu-No matter how many roads i went, they all led to you. "
So for me, the LOVE STORY, really took an extra point over the rest of the series, though its limited screen time is the only downside for me.
Overall a beautiful ,emotional , story of Qing Yu, who afterall what she went through, found her LIGHTHOUSE, her third wish that had come true😊😍.
A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MUST WATCH CHINESE DRAMA for me.

Surprisingly, a very good watch!!
I started Treasure at Dawn, without any expectations, but surprisingly,it really impressed me a lot!!First, the plot is really solid and proceeds at a steady pace,. Though, there may not be nail biting twists and turns or sequences, but still the drama manages us to keep hooked to it till the end.
Fu Sheng, played by Li Hongyi, is a very profession oriented person whose main focus is healing people. He is very calm, steady, smart, intelligent, focused, patient and Li Hongyi has really excelled in breathing life into Fu Sheng. I cannot imagine anyone else as Fu Sheng, which is also the main point for watching this drama. He has really done a great job, who also loves his friends a lot.
Gu Tian, played bu Yu Chengen, is quirky, smart, playful, versed in martial arts, and is always there for his both friends in difficult times.
Wen Jue, by Su Xiaotong, also is a very impressuve character, collectively forming the tough and formidable trio.
What I liked most is the bond between the Trio, their friendship, loyalty towards each other and the way their bond has been developed on screen is really a delight to watch.
The costumes fit the plot, the locations were very pleasant and eye pleasing.
The ost is also good and the way the mystery is unfolded using songs, is also very impressive 👌
The most irrritating character, however, would be Sun Siming and hatsoff to the actor who effortlessly portryed this despicable and cunning role.
Finally, this drama is really a WORTH WATCH one, and I would Highly recommend it 💯👍
Thank you to the whole team for this impressive show👏

As the story unfolds, it take us on an emotional rollercoaster ride. This drama made me cry, feel sad, disturbed and frustrated over the character of Ye Yibo, feel anxious, angst , mad and finally brought me a bit of relief and smile for the last episode.
Seriously, I cried bitterly in few situations of the drama.
I liked each and every character in this drama,Tang Yi Xun, Ye Hai Tang, Yu Nian, Shen Cheng, Zhang Quan, Cha, Rat, Zhen Zhu, Miao Miao, Tan Xin,Shen Xiao Jun,and the bookstore owner, except Bao and his gang and the sinisterous father, Ye Yibo.
All the actors did an outstanding and excellent job in portraying their roles.
The whole drama is fabulous and mind blowing😊👌
Any one, who are thinking over watching this drama, I would suggest, please WATCH THIS DRAMA, you will nit regret watching it, else you will definitely miss an EMOTIONAL MASTERPIECE OF LOVE!!
A TRUE LOVE STORY ,between two timelines connected by a cat and a red mailbox at midnight, only to face many hurdles and challenges , and finally unite as one, with help from the people from future and avoid disasters and alter their future, hatsoff to Tang Yi Xun, Ye Hai Tang,for staying strong and supporting each other and Yu Nian, Shen Cheng, Zhang Quan and Miao Miao, in helping Xun and Tang alter their fate.
Highly highly recommended drama!! 🤗

An impressive legend of a valiant female general!!
He Yan, takes the name of He Ru Fei, her elder brother, and becomes the valiant and extraordinary female general Feihong. Though forced to take upon her brother's identity for preserving the noble status of her family, she gets herself entangled in the conspiracy of Mingshui battle, that claimed the 30,000 lives of soldiers along with the general of Xiao army. Later she gets blinded, abandoned and killed by her brother, only to return back as He Yan and join Yezhou Garrison, to reclaim everything back and clear her name. Gradually, she earns the trust and support of Commander Xiao Jue, of Xiao army, who is investigating the conspiracy of Mingshui battle and thinks He Ru Fei has betrayed them. The latter part ends with investiigating criminals and bursting conspiracies.Zhou Ye as He Yan is really tailor made for this role.
Her performance was fabulous👌
Cheng Lei is excellent as Xiao Jue. Their chemistry was very good.
All the actors delivered excellent performances and the action scenes were very good. All the war scenes were well choreographed and picturised.
The cinematography, costumes, music, plot, pace, everything were good.
Though the plot has some loopholes, it is still a worth watching drama that keeps you glued , imo.
On a final note, it is a very good drama 👍

A captivating emotional masterpiece
The youth memories is a subtle yet powerful, educative drama that takes us back to our memories in youth.The story starts off quite slow and also proceeds at a slow pace in the first episodes, but takes a turn after many unprecedented incidents take place in the lives of the group of young people, who grew up in the same compound.
The drama teaches us never to lose hope, rise again with a new confidence,even if one falls to the lowest point and through the character of Xiao Chunsheng, the protagonist.
Also, the drama is laced purely around emotions, which maybe betrayal, love, brotherhood, siblings bond, friendship, marriage and most importantly, trust, the base of all.
It portrays how younger generation in their youth, chalk out many plans for their future, and move forward with many aspirations, but life may not be the same as we plan, rather we need to plan and prepare ourselves according to the situations we encounter.
And there are many such great inspiring points in this drama which make it worth watching, like, life offers us many options, and everything is purely based on the choices we make.
I liked how all the above points and lessons of life are told through each and every character in this drama.
All the actors are outstanding n their performances. They have really brought the characters to life.
My favourite character is Tong Xiaomei and I am glad Xiao Chunsheng met her in his life. She is a very matured, reserved, supportive and encouraging wife and Li Qin was very good in her role.
Xiao Zhan, as I always say, is an outstanding actor. From being herioc as the young Chunsheng to a phase filled with only despair and depression to a successful businessman with facing many betrayals and hurdles and being a loving husband and father, he balances every expression and acting is 💯 Ithink this is the best work of him till date.
All the other actors are fabulous in their acting.
The dialogues are very good and sometimes touching too.
Though I dont like to watch republican period dramas, somehow this drama doesnt give you a feel as such but instead you find yourself drawn 7 engaged in the story.
The costumes and sets were good. I also would like to thank the director for this beautiful and hearttouching drama.
A worth watching drama with a realistic approach and an inspiring theme!!! 💯

An underrated and well executed drama!! ?
I have kept this drama on my "plan to watch list" for a long time and finally gave it a chance.Untouchable lovers, in my honest opinion is a very well made drama, which could be given a try to watch.
The plot revolves around Rong Zhi, the male protagonist and Liu Chuyu, the female protagonist and their respective kingdoms,Wei and Song and their love story.
The story starts off with the Song arc and then shifts to the Wei arc in the second half.
To be honest, I liked the Wei arc much more. It is interlaced with many twists(though they are commonly seen in many kingdom dramas) blending with emotions, loyalty, friendship, patriotism, love, jealousy, hatred.
The emotions were balanced perfectly and the cases which keep popping up to our protagonists, though may be like the regular ones we see, but were dealt in different ways. I really liked the way how they sometimes racked up their brains to solve the stream of problems which keep coming their way.
Song Weilong as Rong Zhi was perfect in every way.
This is the first time I am watching Guan Xiaotong's drama and her performance as Liu Chuyu was good, though I felt the character could much more matured.
I especially liked the story of female general, Huo Xuan. Bai Lu was excellent in her portrayal. The whole plot of the general was very impressive.
Xu Kai as Shen Yu and Wu Jinyan as Empress Dowager were perfect.
All the other cast were good.
I wolud like to specially mention the visuals and the sets. They were excellent for me. Tbh, they are the main asset of this drama.
Lastly, this drama is a"WORTH WATCHING"one.If anyone wants to watch few years old dramas, then this one can be easily added to their list.

An ending to all the plots of season 1!!
Season 2,for me,was like a conclusion to all the characters introduced in season 1.As usual,the costumes, locations,music, screenplay,sets were good.
Coming to the plot,it was good but rather I find the plot of season 1 more interesting and complex.
However,since it's a final note for all the characters involved,it is a good watch.
The only character I felt bad for was Xiang Liu.May he could have been given a better ending,for the sacrifices he made and also for his selfless and pure love towards XiaoYao.I felt that Xiaoyao really needs to know his love and sacrifice for her.And he is also the only character that actually managed to keep me watching the drama with all his interesting and mysterious aura,yet gentle and loving nature from inside.
Anyways,all the actors were terrific in their roles.
I personally liked the scenes and chemistry of Xiang Liu and Xiaoyao.Yang Zi and Tan Jianci were perfect for their roles.Their conversations,though very short lived on screen,portrayed how heartbreaking love could be,since both of them knew the outcome.
Finally,lost you forever season 2 is a good watch , at least to know how all the main characters of Dahuang ended.

Epitome of emotional and psychological game!!
Lost you forever starts off on a high note and manages to keep up the spirits high till the end of season1.Xiaoyao,the female protagonist,is the central figure of this plot.She,as a child, experiences many tragic and traumatic events which make her a practical person,though she is born into a royal family.Yang Zi,has delivered an outstanding,applausible and excellent performance.She is just tailor made for this role.Be it Wen Xiaoliu or Xiaoyao,she is excellent.Her performance stands as the biggest asset of this drama.She is really phenomenal.
Zhang Wanyi as Cangxuan,who is determined to become the King of Xiyan,also has given his best performance.I especially liked his modulation and the way he delivered his dialogues.
Deng Wei as Tushan Jing is kind,gentle.His performance is also good.
Tan Jianci as Xiang Liu/Fangfeng Bei is perfect.His portrayal as a demon general who is very cold, arrogant but yet has an unspoken soft side of him is outstanding.
For me ,the best character in this drama is Xiang Liu.His love for Xiaoyao is pure and selfless,yet he never takes credits for the sacrifices he makes.He is awesome 👍
All the actors were excellent.
Costumes were beautiful and elegant!!
My favourite music track is Favor of the mortal Fireworks.The ost is also good.
The sets were eye appealing and pleasing.
I really liked the conversation between Xiang Liu/Fangfeng Bei and Xiaoyao,though it was sad to see that both of them had the same past and backgrounds.
Screenplay is quite good.
Finally,I think this plot is not only melancholic in its own ways,but also a though provoking drama.It definitely makes one think about it for sometime.
A highly impressive and recommended drama which makes you emotional enough!!

Interesting sequel!!!
Ever night season 2 begins with a short narration of ever night season 1 story.The story then starts off with Ning Que embarking on a journey taking Sang Sang with him for treatment.The plot takes a major turn when a starting revelation is made and Ning Que and Sang Sang run for their lives, constantly being protected by their academy brothers and sisters.This season also focuses on the Tang empire,their internal strife,warfare and the God starting formation that protects the Tang capital city.The plot mainly revolves around Sang Sang's identity exposure,in the first half and mainly on Ning Que as the protector of Tang empire in the latter half.
I really liked Dylan Wang's performance as Ning Que.He was perfect as the matured,cool,smart, protective yet caring and loving Ning Que.His love for Sang Sang stands as the main highlight of this season.He is excellent in his role.
Song Yiren as Sang Sang is always my favourite character in this drama.She is innocent and cute like in season 1 and also I liked the way she portrayed her transformation as Heavenly Maiden.Though her role is limited in the second half,yet she shines in her role.
Though some of the actors were replaced in the second season,the drama manages to keep us hooked till the end.
All the actors were very good in their roles.
The costumes,music,sets, special effects,all were good.
Overall I liked this sequel very much.A worth watching drama!!

A classic tale of emotions in the majestic SNOW!!
This is probably the first time I am really impressed with the snow backdrop in which the drama is presented to us.Plot-The show is all about Huo Zhanbai,a martial artist from the Sword sect and Xue Ziye,who fall in love after Zhanbai insists the chief of Apothecary valley to treat his martial brother son who suffers from an incurable disease.Their relationship grows stronger over the eight years ,which Zhanbai spend to gather 5 rare herbs for the treatment.
Pros-I would really give a thumbs up to the snow scenery and background.It was serene,calm,impressive,classical,in my opinion.
Probably,if not for the snow backdrop as the main premise,this drama would be a regular watchable one.But,the ice theme has definitely elevated the mood and made it much more beautiful.I really loved the sceneries.They were perfect.I must say the snow scenery is the biggest asset of this drama.Never knew snow could be so beautiful!!!
Action-All the actors were good.Li Qin,Joseph Zeng,Wang Hongyi,Jenny Zeng,Edward Chen and Kim Jin were perfect in their characters.All.the other cast were also good.A special mention of Kim Jin and his acting ability.He was the perfect villain in this beautiful snow.His action was top notch.
Music, costumes, sets, locations,plot, screenplay,pace,everything were good.There were no deviations from the main plot.
I suggest to watch this timeless, emotional,classical love set in a snowy valley and a snowy night!!
A must watch drama if you like dramas withba classical touch!!

Dark and different
This is probably the first time I had a little difficulty to keep up with a cdrama,though how bad the execution maybe.Firstly,the total atmosphere and sets of the Gong house is very dark which was not very eye appealing and pleasing for me.Somehow I couldn't accustom myself to the House of the Gong's and especially the back hill.
I didn't get why in the first place the back hill existed and why do they need to live so discreetly.Its whole and sole purpose was only the 3 trials and not much more,which I felt was to drag on the story for a longer time.
The male lead,Gong Ziyi, and his aide Jin Fan were the only characters which were a bit pleasant.Others never made me interested in them.The romantic tracks between the 2 couples never attaracted me throughout the drama.They either lacked intensity or were always filled with suspicions.The track between Shangguan Qian and Gong Shangjue was very boring for me.The main lead couple were a bit better than the second couple.
From the beginning,each and every scene was only written to either arouse suspicions or just put us in suspense,but a solid plot was never presented.Every frame was only to keep on making us guessing but nothing else.
The constant fighting between brothers of Gong family,even though they face threat from Wufeng organisation,did not make any sense to me at all.
The last episodes has too many twists to be revealed and too many questions were answered but everything was a bit confusing.
Though the start of the drama seemed interesting,somehow I could not adapt to the drama,but the costumes were good.
Maybe it's not my cup of tea or maybe I didn't understand,but the plot failed in execution though it has an excellent story.

Good watch
This drama is very light,not intense,and easily watchable.Li Hongyi as Bai yu was good.Huang riying as Ye xi was a bit naive,kind,helping but sometimes gets herself into trouble.Her acting was nice.
I liked the medicine valley setting of Bai Yu.
This is a drama which you will not regret watching it.
If you are looking for simple,light hearted series,go for it.

Love is the most powerful weapon!!
Love between fairy and devil is the story of Moon supreme,Dongfang Qingcang and Orchid,a fairy of Shuiyuntian realm.It tells us how love can be the most powerful weapon in the world to stop wars and restore peace.The moon supreme,played by Dylan Wang,is arrogant,but sensitive, emotional,loving andd responsible.He is sealed in the Haotian tower ,who is accidentally brought to the Shuiyuntian realm by Orchid.
All the outfits of Dylan Wang were superb and were a treat to watch.He is fabulous as the moon supreme.
Yue Shuxin was also good in her role.
The actors,story,sets,costumes, screenplay were pretty good.The vfx was also very good.
A good watch drama.👌
