I am really not into school dramas, but decided to check this out. I liked the concept of the story. How the love for each other developed. Yes, definitely a slow-burn , but enjoyed the process. I really like the character of the FL here. She was conceptualized perfectly. Smart, determined, not one of those popular kid in school, introvert type, speaks her mind when necessary. I can say, I am not really a fan of the ML here. He's not a risk taker when it comes to love. He always want a win-win situation for him. I also find his efforts too lacking, This drama could've had a great potential. It's just quite disappointing that after the long wait, the main leads became a couple for just around 2 episodes and had to go through such unnecessary breakup. Then just to have that happy ending decided to tie the knot on the last minute of the finale. I just didn't buy that type of ending. So, it's just 7 stars for me. Not really a fan either of the side couples.I'm just glad Zhang Ming Rui found the right partner for him in the finale. I feel sad for him that the girls that he likes from the start always go for Sheng.
So I decided to check this out even if I am not a fan of VR games. It almost has the same plot as Sassy Beauty, but, I think, this is more enjoyable and felt much the chemistry of the leads here. I liked how the game was presented here. Not much visual effects of the game, that you wil really feel it's like reality. First time to watch the leads and I should say, great acting! I even liked the second couple here. Though, there were just a few kisses, still, the chemistry was felt. I just felt sad for the FL's character as her life will just evovle in a game. She felt real love in the VR world, sadly it still ain't reality. I really enjoyed this drama unexpectedly. I guess the rating is actually justifiable because of the ending. Because the drama wasn't able to show how it will end for the FL in the real world. It's like she was kinda stuck in the fantasy world just to find happiness and love. Hope the writer gives this drama a season 2. Perhaps, a new chapter for the main leads in the real world.
Gave this a shot because it has fewer episodes. The drama started strong but became draggy for me midway towards the end. First time to watch the ML in a lead role. His quite okay. But didn't felt much the chemistry between him and the FL. I felt the chemistry more between the FL and the SML. I felt the character of the ML is quite lacking. I guess his role was too stiff and lack humor compared to the SML. I felt the affection more from the SML. FL is just okay. Not so interesting character either. The story plot is just light and didn't peak my interest as well. The kisses were well executed but didn't felt the spark. Overall, not bad drama to pass time if you got nothing on planned to watch yet.
I seldom watch short drama series, but this drama, I have to say was quite enjoyable. It's my first time to watch Yang Ze as a ML. He's someone to look forward to in future dramas. His charm kinda reminds me of Wang Yibo. Story plot isn't much interesting. It's like watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith film chinese version. hehehe FL is just okay. What is really enjoyable in this drama is the romance part. Sweetness overload towards the latter part of the drama. The kisses I should say are very hot and well executed. Yang Ze can really pull off that kissing scene compared to other veteran Chinese ML I might say, not really good at it. Overall, it's a short and sweet drama you get to enjoy.
The only reason I watched this drama is because of Zhang Zhe Han. After watching him for the first time in Everyone Wants To Meet You, I feel like wanting to see him again in another drama. Seeing the rating I really thought this would be a good drama. It had a good start. Interesting plot. But, midway towards the end became draggy for me already. First, the Drive you away and Drive you back to me trope was exhaustedly used in this drama, not to mention the Poison trope as well. I was never a fan of the FL from the beginning. I've watched her in the drama Lovers under the Full Moon, and her acting is just the same. Very bland, such a waste to be partnered to these good looking ML's. Second, the romance is definitely lacking. Like the chemistry was felt more between the FL and SML. Even the character of SML is more likeable than the ML himself. One main reason for this, he's always direct to the point on how he feels for the FL. He trusted fully the FL from the start. I felt the ML's character lack devotion for the FL. He always have angst and trust issues which for me is a red flag for a ML. And I think, there was more chemistry between Ning Jing and Tang Li. Family and the usual Royalty issues are more emphasized than the romance aspect itself. That's why the sweet moments of the main leads are very scarce too. There are very few moments that they are together that made me not enjoy this drama. Third, the kisses aren't executed well, that's why there was no spark at all. And Lastly, the ending just made the audience confused. As they try to pull of a happy ending, it just doesn't make sense to make the dead alive again. Highest I can give for this drama is a 7. I think this drama is overrated so to speak. General's Lady is way better than this I believe.
Had a good start but gets draggy as it progresses. Had to drop it at ep.12. It seems the story isn't going nowhere. I'm a big fan of Noona romances. One of my faves is My Fated Boy. But this just seem a drag. Like even the supposedly love triangle cliche is a bore.
I decided to check this drama out. First time to watch Zhang Zhe Han in a drama. He's quite good looking I should say. The story is just okay. not really a fan of melodramas. Too many draggy scenes for me, specially on the corporate and mom's issues of both ML and SML. This is a slowburn drama too. ML's character is quite likeable for me but not ideal. ML's mom is too annoying till the end. Not a fan of the FL. Didn't like much her character. Even the SML and SFL are not likeable characters for me either, I think the only likeable character for me here is the ML himself and his assistant. Didn't felt much the chemistry of the main leads. Probably, the story didn't focused much on the romance aspect and took most of the episodes on corporate and family issues. Did liked the beginning scenes in France, but when downhill when their issues arised. Highest I can give for this drama is 6.5. If you got nothing to watch this can pass your time. and yeah, 36 eps. is quite long too. This could have been done to around 20eps. only.
Okay, another rare drama that I gave a 9 star rating. What I like about this drama: First, of course, is Zheng Ye Cheng. Loved him from Lovers Under The Full Moon and Sleepless Princess. One of those Chinese ML irresistible charmer. He can really make me fall in love with a swordsmanship expert Commander than a dashing CEO. This feeling that you rather wrap around your arms with this commander flying literally from a cliff or a roof than having a romantic dinner in a completely rented out resto by a CEO. Second thing that I love in this drama is that it is Fast Burn. Like, you didn't have to wait halfway just for the leads to be officially together. Third, the swordsmanship are awesomely executed! Not too mention the kisses too. Great chemistry by the leads. Lastly, I liked that this drama have just 22 episodes. Unlike the usual historical dramas which ranges from 24 to 60 and above episodes. The story is just okay. no too annoying characters. I just didn't gave this a 10 because of the ending I guess. I still prefer it already ended at the wedding. they could have just added one episode for some happy moments perhaps of spending more time having kids and marriage of the supporting couples. BTW, this drama also has a pool of good looking men, so that's another bonus. hehehe Overall, another great romcoms Cdrama for this year.
Just finished watchig this drama. My thoughts....I quite enjoyed the first half. got draggy midway towards the end. Specially on the breakup parts. Had an interesting plot but quite predictable. About the cast, For the ML, the usual snob GM or CEO, middle aged man has never been in love. So, I have no expectations of how romantic he can be. I just felt that the skinship was quite too lacking. When a man falls in love for the first time there should be more skinship for a fresh relationship. The kisses are just meh, I didn't feel the spark most of it. FL's character is strong. I admire her strong will after two broken engagements. Full of effort, I should say. But didn't felt much the chemistry between the 2 leads. I felt the chemistry more with the Second couple, Qin Hebo and Shuang Shuang. I really like how they started off, that was too funny. Though the skinship is also lacking between these too. With Ning Meng, ML's sister. Her character was quite annoying, I must agree, but I am more annoyed with He Zhijun, He's a real total jerk for me till the end. I don't think his psychological trauma is that severe for him to call off his first engagement. Besides, he's a Psychologist himself and he should know how he could treat himself. The way he mistreated the FL in the beginning is a total foul and I don't remember him asking for a formal apology with the FL, he offered hush money instead. Another annoying character here is Ning Meng's bestie. such a biatch. hehehe And yeah, I also ship An An and Mu Xiao Yan! I must agree, BL vibe is strong here. lolz. Overall, this drama is just okay. quite long for a romcom. Highest I can give is 7.5.
Unexpectedly I gave this drama a 9 rating. I rarely give this kind of rating unless its really a good one for me. I guess the things I liked in this drama is that it is so on point. no beating around the bush. It is short but sweet. It gave me that Nevertheless drama vibe but on a lighter note. And I guess, it has that realistic feels. That long term relationships usually doesn't really end up together. Mostly, you get that real connection with somebody whom you've just met . And it was showned in this drama that really, opposites attract. Like two same persons would never intersect. Still, it would be up to you as a couple how will you compromise to work things out. The writer was able to show all these things in this short mini drama. This is a short but sweet drama you shouldn't miss.
Ok, my thoughts for this drama. First, am really not a fan of soul swap drama, that's why am quite hesitant to watch this. The last soul swap drama I've watched I believe was Big, which is a Kdrama from years way back. I decided to check this out as I read good comments on this. And so far, it didn't disappoint me. I really enjoyed this drama. Though the story plot was a given, there are still some twists and interesting parts that you will look forward to. I definitely enjoyed the humor. Specially on the love triangle trope, though it was just for a short time. The chemistry of the leads are definitely there. I really like that this has quite a lot of skinship. Not too mention those hot kisses of the leads and 2x bed cuddles that happened in 2 sleepovers of the ML to FL's house. I also liked the chemistry of the supporting couple. The Egames boyfriend is definitely hot. I also liked the 3rd wheel guy Lin Hao Ying and his relationship with his mom was so awesome and hilarious. First time to watch the entire cast in a drama. I can definitely say, this drama has been a feast in the eyes with lots of good looking men in it. Almost all the characters are likeable here excluding the antagonists, of course. hehehe And this is one of the rarest dramas that I almost didn't skip or forwarded any parts. But of course, just like any other dramas, it has its downside. First, there are no available english subs online from ep. 25-30, so it was truly a struggle to grasp what's been going on and assume based on their actions. Second, I don't think a wedding did happen for the leads and Third, based on just what I saw on the finale, the twin brother was still in a coma. I was hoping for the brother to wake up in the end. Anyways, still a happy ending for the leads based from what I saw. Overall, this drama got me hooked from ep.1, so definitely it was a good one and must see. Still hoping subs for the last 5 episodes will be available for me to rewatch. And hoping for a season 2. It would be very much interesting to have the brother participating live in action along with the cast. Oh and btw, this drama I believe deserves a better rating. I've seen lots of overrated ones with such crappy story plots. This drama gives you a feel good vibe and definitely deserves to be in one of the top rated spots.
I've always been a fan of office dramas. specially romcoms. So, I decided to check this out even though its more of melodrama. Had a good start. I liked that the ML shows affection already for the FL as early as ep. 1. FL has a great personality. I liked her bubbly, carefree, but smart and responsible character. As soon as I saw her driving that luxurious car, it already occurred to me that she's no ordinary intern as obviously she comes from a well-off family. ML's personality is your typical domineering CEO. Obviously, he treats his girl differently. Yes, they look cute as a couple, still I find the chemistry lacking. Most likely this drama is too conservative. There's not much skinship which is not typical for an office drama. Didn't have to wait halfway for the main leads to be together, but the sweet moments are very much lacking, like they have just been a couple for an episode and thinks of breaking up already. I just find it so lame. the development of the supporting couples are very slow too. I just like the relationship of the FL and her brother here. And I liked the fact that both of them are very much low-key and independent. Like they work hard for their own growth and not dependent on their dad's company. There's no really annoying character here. the story plot isn't much interesting either. So, I decided to drop this at ep. 21. Am just finding it too draggy as I move forward. Sleeping over at your boyfriend's house isn't it supposedly a good time to be more intimate? Well, this drama doesn't show it. Not really my cup of tea, sadly.
This is my first time to watch Luo Zheng in a Historical drama. I liked him more in the modern setup I should say. The first half of the drama was quite okay. Interesting story plot. However, midway towards the end, it became draggy for me. The main leads didn't spend much time together. Some important characters died which doesn't feel right. This drama should have a potential. The kisses were executed perfectly, still it lacked the sweet moments of the main leads. I forwarded most of the scenes as it became too irritating that there's no progress in their relationship halfway of the drama towards the end. highest I can give is a 6.5. Not satisfied with the ending either.
About episode 30, I felt somewhat disappointed that Jiao didn't react to the humiliation, I was expecting she…
I surely agree on this, and I was hoping too for Xu Qing Jia to defend her as well in public. To tell everyone how proud he is to be a butcher's husband and how he loves her wife so much. Sadly, the writer I guess is not a romantic person. hehehe
So, I got curious about the story flow of this drama. Had a good start. I fell in love with the kiddo Xi Qing Jia. literally. Like a 10 year old kid who would introduce himself and will say "I am your Husband." Awwww...who wouldn't fall for that. :D This drama for me would have been great if the marriage was done a little bit late. It went too early for me that made the succeeding episodes draggy for me. Well, if you're into romance like me, this drama is quite a drag. But, if you're into solving crimes or political issues then, you would enjoy this drama. I've been sticking to this show up to the recent episode, though I've been forwarding most parts hoping for some character development among the leads and supporting couples. However, am not seeing any changes. Officer Gao should have been a likeable character, but his quite too timid for me that's why his relationship is not progressing at all knowing there are only 5 episodes remaining for this drama. FL's character has been consistent. She was the bad ass agressive type of woman as the ML is the typical smart scholar who can't defend himself physically. The romance here is quite conservative that you can't feel the vibe of the main leads chemistry. It would have been better too if they have extended the love triangle trope that should have made this drama interesting, but they did not. :( A bit confused about their wedding as it is supposedly a fake wedding, but, since they have confirmed their feelings, it's like they have acknowledged the wedding to be real. I guess, am still hoping for a real grand wedding towards the end, wherein this time they have confirmed their feelings. And after 2 years of being married they aren't still blessed with a child. I don't know if they'll pull that act in the end.
Ok, so here's another Virtual Reality drama trope. Just like the drama Love Crossed and the like. I must agree with some comments I read here. It's kinda struggle to watch this drama as the ML has a weak personality per se. I mean, Jack the butler has the more ML material aside from looks. Am still at epi. 15 and quite surprised to see a depicted scene from the movie Titanic. Looks funny because of they're trying hard to imitate the scene. Anyways, will push further till the end to see if this drama deserves a better rating or not. so far, am not a fan of either the FL or ML. Am sticking to it because of Deng Wei. So now, I completed fast forwarding scenes for the remaining last 10 episodes for me. It was a complete struggle. The story focused on the virtual world that made it so uninteresting. The romance too was definitely lacking. Still, this story would have been really much better if Deng Wei, Jack the butler was the ML. highest I can give is a 7 for this drama.
Sorry, it has already been 2 months since I watched this drama. I don't remember what happened to the twin sis in the end, as I mentioned, her character wasn't given much emphasis in this drama.
Yes, I think so too...this, truly ended on ep. 28. I don't understand also why bother giving an extra 2 episodes if they will only play scenes done with supposedly their movie shoot as part of the drama. the highest I can give now is an 8 rating. If only they posted scenes like post marriage and having kids, I would have given this a 10. I still loved this drama. I just remembered seeing Ming Qiao in another drama, and yes she was Xu Kai's FL in Dance in the Sky Empire, that's why she looked too familiar and Ming Wei as FL in the drama Ms. Truth. Great actors, but I must admit I am not a fan of Wu jia yi. I just find her lucky to be always paired to these good looking men. Anyways, I'm totally here for Jeremy Tsui. Hot as always. And those kisses...very well portrayed. :D
Not really a fan either of the side couples.I'm just glad Zhang Ming Rui found the right partner for him in the finale. I feel sad for him that the girls that he likes from the start always go for Sheng.
