It's been a long time since I watched a Jdrama. The reason behind it is simply because most Jdramas are slow paced and too conservatively done. I believe this is the first Jdrama that I gave a rating of 9.5 I also rarely watch mystery, psychological genres. However, this one I should say is one of the rarest exception. I never thought I would be hooked from ep. 1. The story for me is something new. Like not a typical crime of passion or typical mystery crime stories that you would hear of. The best about this drama is that it is not predictable. Surprisingly, the writer was able to squeeze in the full story only by 8 episodes. And these 8 episodes are completely satisfying. It's a complete package I would say. The sweet moments were there, the kisses and skinship are very on point, the mystery and twists are superbly organized. Some might get confused on the ending but as per explained by the ML, he's willing to sacrifice everything even his identity for the sake of bringing happiness to the one he loves and start anew. The most important thing is that the strong bond of love is there no matter what label they may have. Of course, we live in such an imperfect world, it may look like a perfect getaway from a crime, but for me, it's just how fate can unfold if such person has gone through so much suffering and deserve to be happy in this life. Overall, this drama is so neatly done. Definitely deserves a higher rating and highly recommended.
Try watching Forever and Ever. I believe it has more than enough kissing scenes that can prove that it's not that…
I see, will try to check it out, though I am not so into military dramas. Is this some like a remake of Descendants of the Sun Kdrama? Hope not, the character depiction is quite the same. Thanks for the recommendation. Yeah, Huang JunJie is quite a bit young, but i liked that he was able to pull off a mature role in Truth or Dare. I'm a big fan of noona romances so I guess, I prefer watching these not so young gentlemen. one main reason is simply because they are bolder. I just reaally get bored watching too conservative dramas. Like it doesn't give a realistic appeal anymore. And with Allen Ren's wife, most definitely its true love since they already have a child or children to this day. If the one child policy has already been lifted in China so to speak.

I think i came across to one of his dramas which is Something Just Like This. i dropped it eventually, got bored after watching a few episodes of it. I think i prefer the guy Huang JunJie from the drama Truth or Dare. He's a good kisser too...in the drama of course. 🤣 Hahaha, I read the article about Allen Ren's wife who's a model I think. they got married at a young age.

Congratulations on being able to complete a totally No Burn drama. 😁 That's one main reason why i didn't watch One and Only. For some reason, I liked Allen Ren's soft spoken personality that makes you look forward to see his bold side. Unfortunately, can only be seen by the wife. 😁 He's like the boy next door type suppressing his inner hot image. Still, i have to pass on him. A bit tired of slow burns. There's a pool of C ML to look forward to anyways, to name a few...Jeremy Tsui, Xu Kai, Wang Hedi, Zhang Linghe and so on...😍

I've already watched it last year when it was initially aired. Gave it a 7.5 for so slowburn and too minimal skinships. Like the kiss just happened on the last few episodes and done so conservatively as expected from Allen Ren's drama. Same goes when I watched Miss Crow with Mr. Lizard. I've seen Bai Lu 's kiss scenes in Love is Sweet with Luo Yun Xi and that I would definitely say has no reservations. I guess, C married ML do really have reservations on skinships when it comes to their roles just like the ML in Dream of Splendor.
How's the romance so far for this drama? Quite hesitant to start. Liked Allen Ren, but all of his dramas that I've watched so far are slowburn and with limited kisses. I dunno if it has something to do with him being married in real life so he limits skinships on his dramas.
I watched this because of He Yu. I've always liked him since the drama My Fated Boy. I thought this would have the same vibe, but it didn't. This drama has a more youthful approach. I find the portrayal of the ML too childish here. As I mentioned, I've seen him portray a more mature role in My Fated Boy and I was hoping to see him just the same in that drama. This is just too slowburn for me. there were a few funny moments, but it was more of a drag for me. I also liked SML Zhang Zi Jian as I've watched him also play a supporting role in My Dear Brother. I also find the romance for the second couple too lacking. So, overall, I think this has been quite overrated. Just a 7 for me.
I am so not a fan of soul swapping dramas, but I want to make Love Between Fairy and Devil the greatest exception. Technically, this has been the 3rd soul swapping Cdrama I've watched. the other one is Two Souls in One which has a great story plot too and chemistry by the leads. For this drama, I think this is just an okay drama for me. The ratings just caught my attention and thought it would have same romantic charms as watching Go Go Squid, Falling into you smile or Love 020 perhaps. yes, the chemistry of the l;eads was definitely there. Kisses were perfectly executed. I guess, the story focused more on the soul swapping aspect and not really the romance, though it was there. I just felt still, it was lacking. Like the sweet moments are really lacking since they can't date normally as a couple plus the reason of avoiding physical contact to avoid the swapping to recur. And that spur of moment that they have just been an official couple for a day or two and have to break up that soon. The ending was just okay but not the kind of ending I was looking forward to. Of course, marriage and having a kid will surely make a happy ending for me. And I was kinda looking forward for Jang Yi to announce to the world how he's so in love with Sheng Sheng even way before the paparazzi exposure happened. Been a fan of Xin Cheng since Go Ahead. Love to see him play a lead role this time. He's cute as ever. And for Jie Liang, happy to see her to have great chemistry as well with other lead men aside from Xing Zhao Lin. she's definitely a good kisser I should say. 😁 I kinda felt this drama was overrated. just an 8 for me. Overall, still a good drama to watch.
It took me awhile to start on this drama. Decided to give it a go this time. I didn't watch the first franchise of this drama, only the second season. You'll be able to pick up the story even you haven't watched the first one since there are flashbacks that would let you connect to the story. I must say, I enjoyed the second one rather the third. I guess, the twist of the main leads going to the modern world gave it an exciting vibe. Of course, the great chemistry of the main leads is undeniable. Watched most of the dramas of this couple after watching season 2 of this drama. On this third season, the sweet kisses are still there, but, kinda felt it more on the second. Another pool of goodlooking men was presented here. I liked Chen Jing Ke or Xiao Zhen here who I first had a crush on Hello Mr. Gu. I just hope he plays more lead roles next time. And the dashing Ni Han jin who played Pugu as Fen Yang's love interest. First watched him at Princess Silver and Love by Hypnotic. and yeah, I felt sad for the characters of Xiao Zhen and Mo Yan Chen. They're goodlooking kind hearted men who loved a woman with the same face but different character. I guess, that's what made me sad for this 3rd franchise, Lots of unrequitted love. Overall, still a good drama to watch. Highest I can give is an 8.
This drama was in my on-hold list for quite sometime. I paused at ep. 7 as I kinda find it draggy. Glad to go back to it at ep. 8 where the story started to gets interesting. Definitely this is more of a romance drama evovlving in the fashion industry during the republican era. First seen FL at drama The Trick of Life and Love. Acting was just okay, but one thing noticeably about her is that she can handle a romantic kiss very well in both of her dramas. First time to watch ML. ML's character is the typical romantic and loyal guy. Quite likeable but in terms of looks I think I prefer Su Yi more. That hairdo though of the ML is quite unusual. hehehe Story is kinda cute . Issues are usually resolved in an episode, so nothing much heavy. I just feel sad for the SML. He's a nice guy and deserves a partner too. I wonder why didn't the writer just give the original Lu Yi Ling a character development and just ended up with SML so that everyone will be happy. Another loophole here, there was no clear explanation why Lu Yiling and Mi Jiuer looked alike. Like it wasn't explained if they were twins or something. though the ending just gave a hint as it looks like it runs in the genes. Overall, a cute sweet story. Plus the kisses were executed well here. highest I can give is an 8.
Am really not into food drama, but decided to check this out with its good rating and comments. This drama has a feel good vibe. Basically the story simply evolved entirely of the food business. If you're so into food, this is the perfect drama for you. Like there is not a single episode wherein a cooked food is not featured. Definitely you'll salivate for each episode. But, i just realized that chinese foods are mostly cooked in deep fried oil. May taste delicious but not healthy I guess. Plating of food are nicely done as well. It's like eating in a 5star michelin resto. First time to watch the leads. Great chemistry! The ML is not the typical CEO handsome type of guy that we're used to, but he was able to pull off that role with his great portrayal of having expert martial arts skills that made him quite look hot. Overall, this drama is quite entertaining.
Always been a fan of Xu Kai Xin, and he's the main reason i watched this. However, I think this is the least i liked among his dramas. Lots of draggy moments for me, specially the school flashbacks. Still, Xu Kai Xin was able to pull that romantic ML character. the story just mainly lacked substance I guess. Highest i can give is a 7.
I can see where you might find it frustrating. It might be helpful to remember the era which the drama is set…
Thank you for the inputs. Tried to continue and am glad that she did some alterations on the events that she should really ought to change. Currently on ep. 9. This will definitely be a total struggle for me, but will definitely hold on for Zhai Zi Lu as I really look forward to see him play a lead role this time. FL's character here is quite a bit similar to the FL's character in The Sword and the Brocade. I just hope the romance here would level up a bit just like in that drama.
Am just at ep. 5 right now. It has been interesting for the first 5. But, am quite annoyed that FL was given a chance to redo her future, still she intends to follow the same path as she did before. I'm not sure if this drama would still go further interesting. All I am interested is the development of the romance between the main leads and not the SML, but it seems it won't happen again given the chance...sigh...I guess, this will be another slowburn drama.
Am really not a fan of short length series, as I prefer watching the story continuously and not to end every 5mins of it. But, this one is one of those exceptions. I did also watch season 1 and got hooked with the leads great chemistry. I'm quite hesitant to watch this at first since they changed the ML and I prefer the former ML of this series. Still, the chemistry was there and the new ML was able to nail it. Yes, it has all the cliches yet i still enjoyed it. A bit slowburn for me and I was hoping for a twist in the story like perhaps FL would be the legit heir of Yun Group of Co. Well, I guess the writer wants to stick with the rags to riches format of the story. Overall, it's short and sweet. Would have given a higher rating if it's done a full length series. I'd like to see more of the love triangle trope between the 2 heirs, sadly there's not much air time for the series. Gave this a 7.5
