A tale of emotional entanglement ?
With the leads being Zhang Han and Janine Chang,this drama has already been on my plan to watch list and after watching it,I was not disappointed even a bit.Though the story had its flaws and was a bit slow,I still liked the portrayal of sensitive emotions.
There were many times when I felt the problems could be solved by just clarifying things with each other,but still I would recommend to watch this for the story that unfolds before us,the chemistry between the leads,the costumes of all the actors,the workplaces,and all the pain that 2 hearts went through.
Zhang Han is awesome as Zhan Nanxian.His costumes were really good.
Janine Chang as Wen Nuan,is very beautiful,though she is not the regular female lead characters we watch.Her acting was also good.
Jing Chao as Zhu Linlu,was a very sportive,free going,supportive friend that everyone wants in their life.His acting was very nice.
Yixin was one character who irritated me a lot.
All the actors were perfect in their roles.
Overall it's a good drama to watch without any tensive moments.
I will definitely rewatch it.Go for it 👍

Destined for each other!!
Destined is an intense emotional family drama which focuses on the couple Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru and how they fight with the situations that arise in their life,withstand all the difficulties,go through life and death situations,but still stand strong with each other.It is my second drama of Bai Jingting after Reset,so as expected ,his acting skills were on point,From being a spoilt scion to a responsible person who protects thereafter,his transformation was nice.Also,i like the way he always supports his wife and her decisions throughout their journey.
Liu Yuru,though accidentally and unwillingly tied the knot with Gu Jiusi,has always been one responsible,loyal,caring and loving wife and daughter in law.Song Yi's performance was also on point.
Liu Xue Yi as Luo Zishang,though is cruel,has his own reasons to become like that.He is the much needed villain an the actor was also good.
All the cast were good in their roles.
The story was directed in an engaging manner right from the first episode itself.There were comic,emotional,tensive,patriotic moments in the drama.
I would highly recommend to watch it .You will not be disappointed.

Engaging revenge drama!!!
The double is indeed an engaging,exciting and thrilling revenge drama.It made glued to it right from the first episode itself.The female protagonist sets off on a revengeful journey against her husband and mother in law and sister in law after she is wrongfully accused and killed by them.
I really liked the way the female lead,Jiang Li/Xue Fangfei was very strong throughout the drama and was always focused on her goal.Wu Jinyan was really very good in portraying her role.She carried the different emotions,agony,pain,angst,hatred in her role perfectly.
The male lead, Duke Su/Xiao Heng is the outstanding character in this drama.Wang Xingyue portrayal of this character is excellent!!The way he stands as a moral support for Jiang Li,how he is always there for her in difficult times and the way he expresses his love only through eyes is fabulous.
I also liked the friendship between the emperor and Duke Su.He is one such emperor who really suits his title of emperor.
Jiang Li's stepmother,,her sisters,the eldest princess,Shen yurong and his family were truly disgusting.but all the actors have done their job well.
The story was fast paced with right emotional quotient.
I liked the song sung by Cyndi Wang.
Overall a worth watching drama.
Watch it to witness a second chance given to a woman who has been betrayed in her life to fight for her justice.👍

Fantastic friendship!!
I liked this drama particularly for its focus on friendship.Court of judicial review and it's six detectives and the bond between them is the main highlight of this drama.I liked how Chen shi,Wang Qi,Alibaba,Cui Bei and Sun Bao always stood in support for Li Bing even in his weakest and hardest times.
Also,I liked how each of the six members had an incident which was related to the main plot.
Each and every one of them had their own story.In particular,i liked the total episode of Cui Bei.
The plot was intriguing and though was confusing at some times,but still had a good ,warm ending.
All the cast were excellent in their acting.
Overall,it's a worth watching drama, especially for its friendship theme.
Go for it👍

Jun Jiuling!!!
The female protagonist,Jun Jiuling is very individual,confident,daring,responsible and brave woman.She has the courage and self confidence to face any situations and problems that occur in her life.What I liked the most about her is her responsibility as a princess.This is my second drama of Peng Xiaoran after Goodbye My princess,so I already how good she acts.She was perfectly cast.My most favourite role in this drama is Zhu Zhan,the male lead,played by Jin Han.He is a very excellent actor and he instantly became one of my favourite Chinese actors.He was excellent in emoting every expression on screen.
Zhou Zhan,Wang Youshuo as the other male leads were respectively good.
The last male lead,Du Yafei played a role with negative shades and acted well.
This drama mainly focuses on Jiuling and her revenge on her uncle for her father's death.
What i liked here is the unconditional support of the male protagonist towards the female lead and how he was always there for her in her troubled times and his unconditional love towards her.
A hidden gem which really needs to be explored indeed!!

Tale of Women with different ambitions!
The legend of Zhuohua is mainly a drama based on career driven women.Starting with our protagonist,Zhuohua,she aspires to be a officer in the palace,but faces numerous challenges on her way since she is a female.Jing Tian was good in her role.
Feng Shaofeng plays the role of Lord Ding,who is the main supporter of female officers in the kingdom.I must say,he is a very good actor and was perfect in his display of body language as a reserved Lord Ding to his portrayal of love and caring male lead.
A special mention of princess Roujia and Wang Likun deserves a special appreciation for her portrayal of this character.
It tells us how we need to set goals and be ambitions but not over ambitious in the perspective of women.
No need to give a second thought,this drama can be easily preferred for a one time watch.

Simple one!!
Maiden Holmes is simple in terms of story.The female lead trying to get justice for her wiped out clan unjustly.The male lead trying to know the villain who wants to bring him down.Both Zhang Linghe and Sabrina Chen were good as ml and fl.
The other actors were good in their roles.
The plot is mainly based on investigation,which I thought could be much more focused upon.
Friendship part was shown good,but lacks a bit intensity.
Overall this drama is a simple one yet worth trying for a one time watch, without many twists and turns.

It's commander Tan all the way!
This is the first time I am watching a drama of both of Chen Xingxu and Zhang Jingyi.Chen Xingxu as Commander Tan excelled in his performance.He is honest, sincere,caring,living,brave,jovial and at the same time a very tricky male lead so far I saw.
Honestly to say,this is a one man show of Commander Tan.
This drama has all elements -sentiment,honesty,emotion,love and many a times was hilarious too.
The star cast was perfect and were very apt in giving expression to the situations.
It also showcases the intense military warfare in medieval times in China.
If you are looking for a perfect blend of all the emotions in the right amounts, then this one is for you.

A political military hilarious drama
This was my first time watching both Xu Kai and Bai Lu drama.The story is set in Republican era of China showcasing both political and military tensions.
But the best part is the academy and fights between Gu yanzhen and Xie Xiang.
Xu Kai as Gu yanzhen acted very perfectly.He really made me laugh in some scenes.Gu yanzhen is very funny,teasing and humourous.
Bai Lu's acting as Xie Xiang is very good.
All the other cast outshined in their roles.
Overall it is a very good drama which make you laugh and ease your tensions.
I highly recommend this drama.

Nice detective drama
This mystery drama,which is only 24 episodes has really surprised me.The story is very well paced.All the scenes and incidents were well written and they were connected to the next incidents, since,in detective dramas,connectivity between incidents is most important.The main leads acted well.The locations, costumes,CGI were good.The fights were choreographed well.Both the love stories were good ,though the second lead love was not a success.The end twist surprised me.
I would highly recommend this drama.Go for it.It is worth our time.

Not my cup of tea!!
This drama is about the love between a mortal general, who had a rough past as an assasin and the Lord of Spirits who is 400year old.Duan Xu, played by Arthur Chen is revealed to be the spell bearer of He Simu, played by Diliraba, who can get her five senses through him and hence starts a love story of a spirit and a mortal.
The first 10 episodes seemed quite interesting and though it started becoming less interesting, still I managed to watch it. But after the arc where Duan Xu, our male lead enters the spirit realm, I somehow completely lost interest. I didn't find any interesting elements that would make you stay or make you wait for the next episodes eagerly.
When it reached episodes 25-26, I felt myself completely bored.
With no solid storyline, no progress as it proceeds further, not so well developed romance track(which was not at all entertaining for me)., I think this drama has disappointed me.
The only saving graces are the beautifully designed costumes, especially for the people in the spirit realm and the lavish sets that are my only reason to watch this far.
The acting of the actors was perfect.
But the characters they play didnt make me stay.
Personally I couldn't bring myself to like He simu's actions or character and as for Duan Xu, his character went downhill after few episodes.
Personally, its not my cup of tea or maybe I failed to understand the dynamics, but I lost interest in it.
Anyways, the first 16 episodes were good, imho.
This review is purely my opinion.

A love that transcends beyond races, ages and times!!
Moonlight mystique is an excellent xianxia masterpiece, in my honest opinion.I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though in the beginning, I felt a bit confused, the latter half totally engaged me in the story and twists and turns. I truly enjoyed watching the Outlander's, stone clan, bodhi village and the divine race arcs.
The costumes were excellent matching with beautiful sets that perfectly suit for the plot.
The special effects and action scenes were superb.
All the actors were truly fabulous in their performances. Bai Lu, Ao Ruipeng, Dai Luwa, Chang Huasen and others were excellent💯
A special mention to Han Dong for effortlessly playing a sinisterous antagonist👌
The drama takes us on a journey of Bai Shuo who, meets Fan Yue and together gather contemplations for their own purposes, in the beginning, but face many hurdles and life and death situations and heartwrenching separations, and gradually uncover their past life and finally putting an end to evil, therefore, establishing peace in the world.
Truly a MASTERPIECE!!
I am sure you will enjoy each and every moment.
Kudos to the director and everyone🤗for such a beautifully crafted, marvelous xianxia drama!!
