Fabulous show all the way
Love game in eastern fantasy,is an entertaining, engaging,exciting drama from the beginning to the end.It strikes a right balance between love,hate,friendship and siblings bond.Firstly,Ling Miaomiao,the female lead,is taken to ancient times to play the role of Lin Yu,a character from the novel she is currently reading, written by her favourite author,Fu Zhou.There she meets,Mu Yao,Mu Sheng,Liu Fuyi and Cui Cui.The rest of the story deals with how these team of five eliminated evil and restored peace in the world.
The friendship between these five is remarkable and deserves to be the main asset of this drama.They stand by one another,do not give up in any circumstances and are willing to go to great lengths for the rest of the four.Thir bond stands out as the main highlight of this drama.
The plot is well written and executed with a load of twists and turns that unfold at right times and keep us glued to our seats from the start to the end.The plot is very good and strong too with an excellent pace and screenplay.
Esther Yu,is excellent in her role of Miaomiao,She is vibrant,lively,active,caring,loving, amiable,and responsible too.I really loved her character and also her portrayal.She is another main asset of this drama.Be it her cute or confused state,or romantic expressions,she nailed them with perfection.For me,she is the best character in this drama.
Ding Yuxi,Zhu Xudan,Yang Shize and all the other star cast were perfect in their roles and excelled in bringing life to the roles they played
A special mention of Lu Yu Hao,who played Cui Cui .He was cute,helpful and friendly.His affection towards his friends is remarkable.
The costumes were excellent.They matched each and every situation perfectly.
The settings were too good and were very bright.The visual effects were also perfect.
Finally,it is really one of the best dramas I have watched.It is a very very interesting and engaging drama with good comedy also to lift up your moods.A highly recommended drama with a different concept.
A MUST WATCH !!

Definitely watchable, imho!!
Fox spirit matchmaker has been kept on my watchlist for a long time, and finally I gave it a try.I am glad that I came back to watch this series.
Despite some loopholes, some flaws and few boring scenes which may not click well, the drama is definitely a MUST WATCH one, given its unique plot and the way the series is woven around the concept of "Love wins over hatred"!!
Unlike other Xianxia dramas, where the the first half proceeds with the hidden identities of the protagonists while the latter half deals with unraveling their past life secrets and powers, this drama is all about the Tushan clan of Fox spirits and the Grief tree and various love stories.
Both the protagonists and antagonist are introduced to us in the beginning itself.
The story mingles love of various couples with mysteries waiting to be unlocked, sacrifices made to deal with the villains and the various emotions of all the characters involved.
The acting, music, special effects, screenplay, plot, costumes, everything were good, imo. π
Though I cannot say this is the best xianxia drama, but definitely it can be given a try, atleast, for its story.
On a final note, A GOOD WATCHπ

A simple, decent and pleasant watch!!
Flying up without disturb, surely is a good and decent watch with not so nail biting or tensive moments, yet manages to keep you watching it.The story may seem like a regular xianxia drama, but with beautiful locations, good acting of the cast, beautiful costumes, it really makes up a good watchπ
Li Hongyi as Grandmaster Zhongxi/Huazong, is perfect in his acting. He is calm, pleasant, smart, intelligent, powerful, loving, caring and a gentle person.
Lu Ting Yu as Konghou, really surprised me with her acting. From a cheerful, active, innocent yet smart female lead to a powerful dark lord, she is very
impressive π
All the other actors were good.
The locations are very pleasant and very pleasing for the eye to watch. π€
The development of a mutual, understanding, cooperative, supportive love stroy between the main leads is also very goodπ
Overall, this drama is definitely a Worth Watching one, despite its flaws, some boring moments!!
I will definitely recommend to give it a try, you will not be disappointed, but leaves a good impression on usπ―

Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 3: To Changan

Detective team to the west!!
The detective team of Su Wuming, Lu Lingfeng, Pei Xijun, Chu Yingtao, Chicken Fei with Xue Huan on board for this season, once again they take us on a ride of suspense, mystery, conspiracies, woven in and around Chang'an along with opening a new business too.All the actors were great in their performances. Once again, the teamwork of these 6 rocks!!
Although the whole team of 6 solve many cases, unravel sinisterous plots which are nothing but the thoughts of human hearts, somehow I felt that the cases were as not interesting as the first 2 seasons.
The cases somehow lacked to engage me in them.
But still, I would like to recommend to watch it.
It may not be a perfect sequel, but will not disappoint you too.
A good watch, but only for once!!

A light hearted one
Follow your heart may not be an extraordinary masterpiece, but it will entertain you for sure.Luo Yunxi and Song Yi were good in their performances. All the other actors were also good in their roles.
Though there may be some boring episodes, but its still watchable for few hilarious moments, acting, and the slow burn romantic track between the couples.

Shrek seven devils-simple yet amazing!!!
Tang San and his Seven devils together with their masters bring to us a very simple, light hearted yet amazing and entertaining Douluo continent.The plot revilves around spirit masters and various mysteries arou d them in the Douluo continent.
The main focus however is on the seven students of Shrek academy and their stories.
I liked the emotional development between these seven students, also with their masters and how they stay lotal to Shrek academy, despite overcoming many hurdles and difficulties. They deal with powerfhl spirit masters, titled duoluos and even various academies with their tacit understanding and excellent team work.
I particularly liked the action scenes in this drama. The special effects were also good.
All the cast were excellent in their performances. As usual, Xiao Zhan never fails to give excellent performance and Tang San is another example.
Wu Xuanyi and the rest were also very good in their roles.
There may be some times, when the drama pace may seem slow, or sometimes you may get bored, but the plot is very good and as the story proceeds, it becomes much more interesting.
So, this is a highly recommended drama!! You will not be disappointed.

Could be much better!!
The drama started off well instilling with a kind of enthusiasm to watch it further in me.But as it progressed further,the writing lacked depth and intensity too.Maybe if few parts were written much better,the drama would be an excellent series.But somehow the story went downhill after few episodes.
The saving graces were the actors whose performances were good.Tge production, costumes and locations were also good.
For me it is strictly a one time watch.

An enjoyable watch of everlasting love
The story focusses on Jun Qi Luo,from Yannan,who gets captured by the to be wolf lord of Beixuan,Xuan Lie,who is searching for Jun Fei Fan,Baigong's heir,for resolving the mystery of his parents death 12 years ago.Angelababy as Jun Qi Luo/Jun feifan, is smart, practical,kind,matured,dedicated,skilled and intelligent woman who is well known for the weapons she designs as Baigong's heir.
Song Weilong as usual,shines as Xuan Lie,who is smart,brave,confident.His love for Qi Luo is undeterring and exceptional!!
How the both of them solve all the difficulties that come their way and pass all the hurdles to be together at the end forms the next part of the story.
The pace is good with very few boring moments.Costumes,sets, locations,all are very pleasant to watch.
All the actors fit their roles perfectly.
Overall it is an enjoyable and a decent watch!!

Could have been better
Shining just for you starts off in an interesting manner but as the story progressed,,failed to keep me engaged till the end.The plot though good,somehow went flat after few episodes.Actors acting may keep us hooked till the end.
However,the sets,costumes and interiors were very grand and were very good to watch.
For me,it is a strict one time watch.
Watch it for the lavish sets, grand costumes and actors.

Justice for a relentless effort!!!!
Under the microscope deals with a unique concept of land measurement and silk poll tax.Renhua county ,one of the 8 counties under Jin'an prefecture,has been paying 3530 tales extra tax towards the silk every year,for the past 100 years.Shuai Jiamo,known to be an arithmetic nut, accidentally encounters differences in land measurements and title deeds which leads to a conspiracy hidden for the past 20 years and eventually opens up the reason behind his parents death.
In a short drama spanning 14 episodes,the presentation was done excellently.From the investigation to the mystery unveiling,the process,the people involved,the pain taken by the protagonist and his friend, everything was perfect.
Zhang Ruo Yun ,Wang Yang,and all the other actors played their parts well.
The story, sequence of events, the twist,all were good.
I felt a slight discomfort only with the locations,but given the premise it is reasonable.Other than that,it is a highly recommended and worth watching drama.
Go for itππ

Loved this drama!!!
Thousand years for you has long been on my watchlist and finally I am glad that I have watched it.The plot mainly revolves around Lu Yan, the general of the ancient Shu dynasty who patiently waits for the return of YunXi,the saintess of the spirit clan for 3000 years.He accidentally encounters Yu Dengdeng who is the embodiment of none other than Yun Xi.
Then begins the story of pure love entangled with mysteries and conspiracies unraveling deadly secrets along the journey to achieve peace between the human and spirit races.
Ren Jialun as Lu Yan, is cool, smart, decent,matured, very reserved,well balanced and duty oriented general who devotes himself to the protection of the people of the ancient Shu dynasty,precisely the human clan.His acting was excellent as he could express emotions through eyes with almost very few dialogues for him to deliver for his role.Ren Jialun,really appears as a classical hero for me and once again this drama proves it to be true.
Li Qing as,Yun Xi/Yu Dengdeng is perfectly cast for her role.I cannot imagine anyone else except for her.From her portrayal as the noble,peace loving,caring,kind,loyal saintess to a tomboyish,naughty,domineering yet cheerful,kind,loving,caring, courageous and brave Chieftain ,she is excellent all the way.Her dialogue delivery was also good.She brought life to the character of the Saintess and Chieftain,imo.
I liked the story of Gu Beixi and Bai Shiqi,though it was short lived.
Xin,Dahai,Deng deng's father and Uncle,are the ones that everyone need in their lives.Their support and love towards Yu DengDeng and Lu Yan is unparalleled.
All the actors did an excellent job in bringing life to the whole drama.
The story keeps you hooked with different types of conspiracies and obstacles that always stumble on the way of the protagonists and their friends.Many secrets unfold as they move from one place to another.
The costumes, sets, locations, visual effects and ost were also good.The background music matched well with the scenes.The flow of this drama is very consistent without any deviations.
Also,I really liked the little conversation between Lu Yan as general and saintess YunXi.
Their moments ,though were very short on screen, surely impress us.I really enjoyed these scenes.
On a conclusion note, Thousand years for you is an enjoyable,impressive,simple drama.It showcases pure love between two individuals which remained eternal even after 3000 years.
It blends mysteries with morals perfectly and strikes the right balance with the audience.
A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DRAMA ππ

An excellent, impressive, engaging sequel
The second season has far exceeded my expectations and also to be precise,the first season too.The cases the team of five dealt with are well written and the analysis and investigation parts were excellent.
Each and every case was very interesting and kept me hooked till the end.The last case was my favourite in particular.
The way even minute details were analysed and investigated was really impressive.
Also,the bond between the team of five stands as the main asset of this drama.Locations, costumes,sets,plot, twists and turns,logics,screenplay everything is perfect about this drama.
The actors gave their outstanding performances.
A highly impressive and entertaining and engaging sequel .
A highly recommended drama which is a must watch.

Impressive, entertaining and engaging!!
Lu Lingfeng, general of imperial guards,who is known to be arrogant and reckless crosses paths with Su Wuming,a disciple of Di Renjie,while dealing with a string of cases in Chang'an,the capital city of Tang empire.They are joined afterwards by Pei Xijun,a talented painter,Chicken Fed,a good physician,Xue Huan,disciple of Lu Lingfeng,and then Yingtao ,a swordswoman.How the team solve cases that stumble their way as they move on from one place to another forms the main crux of the plot.I liked the way how the team solve cases with detailed analysis into each and every clue,with cute and sweet interactions between them.I especially enjoyed the rapport between Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming.The team thereafter develop an emotional relationship with each other.All the characters are well written.

Overall it is a very good investigative kingdom drama with a perfect teamwork interlaced with emotions and logical analysis.A highly recommended drama!!

A brilliant and outstanding drama!!
Hunting Chinese drama is one of the best dramas I have watched so far.I am so glad that I had chanced upon this drama in MDL.Plot-The story kicks off with the death of Qian Cheng,a small factory owner,who claims that he is cheated by Wang Bolin, the owner of Kerui pharmaceuticals.The police officers of Beijiang crime branch come on board to solve this high profile crime,which involves stock market manipulation,money laundering,murders, bribery and greediness,under the leadership of Director Yang.Sooner,an economic division to catch economic criminals is formed under the Ministry of public bureau.
The male lead, Deputy Director Xia Yuan,who later on becomes Director,is honest,sincere, dedicated,smart,intelligent,hardworking,and values law over emotions.
The female lead,Officer Wu Jiaqi, is smart, sincere, straightforward, intelligent, spontaneous and enthusiastic woman who has past which involves Wang Bolin.She aspires to be police to bring justice to her mother.
Performances -I liked the chemistry and the little and cute romantic track of the two leads.I liked how their characters matured and developed along with their relationship.
Wang Kai is brilliant in his performance.He is one of those actors who can express emotions through his eyes.He is an excellent actor who gives perfect and apt expressions,be it emotions, investigation or romance.
Though this is the first time I have watched Angel Wang,her performance is very good.She is really impressive.
Now, coming to the main antagonist of this drama,Wang Bolin, played by Liu Yijun,is cunning, manipulative,smart, yet emotional person towards his family.Liu Yijun,excelled in his performance.Each and every expression in each and every scene involving him,were brilliantly portrayed by him.From being sinister to scary to being cruel and threatening others,yet showing love towards his family,his performance is the main highlight of this drama.Liu Yijun is an outstanding actor.Kudos to him!!
Hu Jun,who played the role of Director Yang,is remarkable and deserves a special mention and appreciation for his performance.Kudos to him too!!
All the actors were excellent in their roles.Each and everyone have given their best.
Music-The background music for each scene and situation is apt and suits the ongoing investigation.
The plot is really solid and the pace is excellent.There were no boring moments,atleast for me.Each and every scene was well written.The screenplay and editing is excellent!!There were many tense moments and also some moments kept me on the edge of the seat also.The whole idea of catching the criminals in different countries with the help of the local police was too good.That src of the drama really impressed me.The whole drama was very intense and grippy from the beginning to the end.
I really liked the way, how the thoughts and emotions of each and every person,who were directly or indirectly involved,were perfectly blended with investigation and analysis of the case.Every detail was handled perfectly.
Conclusion -Finally,this drama is outstanding in all aspects for me .It is definitely a MUST WATCH drama for its engaging plot and presentation.A HIGHLY recommended drama that deserves a thumbs up.
