The story is just okay. Not so interesting for me. didn't felt the chemistry of the main leads. I would prefer Ning Yun Zhao to be the ML. I felt the chemistry more between them. This is another super slow burn drama. The revelation of FL's identity took so late as well. The only thing I liked in this drama is the character development of Lu Yunqi, not to mention his great acting as well. Overall, gave this drama a 6.5 rating for the lack of romance and nothing much anticipation with the story.
First, I think this drama is overrated. Story was mainly focused on revenge. So nothing to really look forward to. Still had hopes on the romance so I stayed till the end even if I have to keep pushing the forward button. To some disappointment, I shouldn't have hoped on this. There are some quite funny moments. I enjoyed Fatti's character here. :D Ning Que's character here is definitely a charmer, since he was able to lure the Princess' attention. I feel sad for Sang Sang's character here. I felt she was never really loved by Ning Que. It's more of like he needs her than love her. Up to the end, She still call him Master. The romantic connection wasn't really there sadly. I just liked the part that Sang Sang fought her right to be the only woman in ML's life. Honestly, ML's character here is not ideal at all. He still needs to be shaken up just to confirm what he really feels. Specially, on that part that he wavered for that Mo Leader. I really felt sad for Sang Sang. Overall, aside from the fact that this has too many episodes. If you're into so romance like me, this is not the drama for you. This is a no kiss, no physical contact drama. Just enough to see holding hands and one single kiss on the cheek. A total bummer. Haven't seen season 2. Am losing hope on romance for the next season.
So I finished this drama forwarding the entire episodes hoping for that romance to pull off. Completely disappointed with this drama. If you're into crime solving case, this drama is totally for you. It shouldn't have been tagged as romance in the first place. The first few episodes was okay and have enjoyed the love triangle part. However, it really went downhill when this FL tries to lead on both men and She, herself was so confused of who she's really into. And the verdict just comes in the final episode. How disappointing that is?!!! This should have been tagged as Super Slow Burn Drama. Better yet, untag the romance at all. One of the worst Romance drama I ever watched I guess.
I was adamant at first to watch this and finally decided to give it a shot after seeing Liu Yi Chang in the drama The Secret of LOve. Of course, who couldn't resist his charm. The story plot was good. Also a good thing that it was only 24 episodes. Ending was okay, still I would prefer that long awaited kiss and honeymoon by the lead couple that never actually happened. I would have given this drama a much higher rating if only there were more sweet moments by the leads. Unfortunately, I find them lacking. Overall, a great story and to see Liu Yi Chang's charm is enough for me. :D
Am already at episode 10 and still keep forwarding the episodes. Not sure about the good reviews and some comments am reading here. I don't see any progress in the romance aspect of the story. the online streaming business is not interesting either. I guess this is not my cup of tea. I couldn't say it's a slow burn coz am not seeing any progress on the main leads at all. It's like simply watching brothers and sisters just caring for each other and that's all. I guess I have to drop this.
I like Luo Zheng and am glad to see him now as the ML. However, this drama is a total crap. Just a waste of time. Story isn't much interesting. More complications than the romance itself. Very few sweet moments. Nothing to look forward to till the end. And yes, FL's portrayal as Jiang Lili is really annoying. Just not a fan of FL's being childish and doesn't act her age. Still prefer fierce women specially in the corporate world.
Based on the title, I thought this was about falling in love in the kitchen or the ML perhaps be a chef. Unexpectedly, the story plot is like a typical gumiho story. It would have been great if this is not a short length drama. The cast are obviously newbie actors. First time to watch all of them in a drama. ML is cute, but, I find him too young to do quite intimate scenes as well as the FL. The ML looks like a teenager to me. Well, all of the cast basically looks like a teener. Short but quite interesting drama. The ML will be a promising actor later on, when he blossoms to be a man, for now, he's like a teen idol star to me.
I didn't really have high expectations when it comes to Jdramas. I am already used to its slow paced theme. Not to mention slow burns too. hehehe One main reason I rarely watch Jdramas. This just happen caught my attention, after seeing this on TV and saw Fukushi Sota whom I should say definitely a charmer. I really liked his character here. That as young as he is, he surely knows what he wants in life. He's way more mature than other men way older than him and can't handle commitments well. Definitely am not a fan of the FL here. I just don't like everything about her...the clumsiness, being too naive in a later age doesn't fit at all and choosing to break up just so you think you're a hindrance to your bf dreams, when your bf openly layed down his cards already about how he is serious about her, wants to marry her and finds a place already for them to live together, even finding a way to earn for them to live comfortably is also there. There's really something wrong with the FL's character here. Not really a fan of trying to be righteous crap. Life is simple, just go with the flow as long as both of you are happy. Such character of the FL here makes life complicated.
Hope writers of Jdramas could improve their story plots just as how Cdramas and Kdramas are doing so great specially in romance genre. They really need to improve on the characters specially FL. another thing that's lacking here is the romance. Am sure the ML could have done more romantically here that would really make him more irresistable.
Overall, not satisfied at all with the ending. It would have been more better if the wedding did push through for the main couple. Aside from Yuto's character, the only thing I also liked here is Yuto's mom. Too cool for a future mother in law! Absolutely liked that! :D
So I did get to finish this drama by pressing the forward button all the time. Story isn't much interesting. The only reason I hang on to this drama is to watch the 4 good looking male leads. It's quite rare to see these 4 hot gentlemen together in a drama. Didn't like the character of the FL here. Though I liked her character in Once we Get Married drama. There isn't much romance in this drama that won't really perk your interest to watch it. For me, the most likeable character here is Li Xin Yuan or should I say the Prince. I simply liked the pureness of his character. Will look forward to see him in a lead role with his own FL in a drama.
First time to watch the leads in this cast. I really enjoyed this drama. Another hidden gem. This drama deserves a higher rating and is literally underrated. At first, i was hesitant to take a shot on watching this thinking it might lack romance. Am glad I took the shot. Absolutely worth watching. This drama almost have the same plot as the Kdrama Splash Splash Love only with a different twist. Not really a fan of the FL here but she kept me being reminded of IU, they resemble a lot. The ML was okay. I really liked his character here. However, the characters that shine for me most here are Shi Dong and Bi Hong. I really enjoyed Dai Yun Fan's portrayal. He literally made me laugh. And Bi Hong, I prefer him to be the main lead I guess for the visuals. hehehe Will look forward to see him in a main role for a drama.
Just like any other drama, there are some minimal aspects that should have been improved on. One are the kisses. Of course, a romance drama won't be complete without a kiss. It such that the kisses are quite obviously acted. Like two touching lips and not actually kissing. Well I guess they're trying to pull off a first timer couple as presented in the drama. A bit draggy parts as well midway, still manages to catch on the latter part. And lastly, I just need to mention, This is the 3rd drama that I watched Dai Ya Qi. I must say she has been consistently annoying in all her roles. I don't know, but inspite of her beautiful face, her roles are always annoying in a drama. Once I see her, I already get annoyed.
Oh yes, after watching this, I would really love to eat more cotton candies. :D Overall, this drama is truly enjoyable to watch and you shouldn't miss.
I'm on episode 8 so far and I think am gonna drop this. The FL just keeps on annoying me. Am just not a fan of a woman who insists herself to a man who doesn't feel the same way with her. It may sound cliche, but I still prefer men who confess their feelings first rather than the other way around. And to have at least a little pride that if the man is not into you, don't insist yourself. The lead guy is quite nice however, he's so into his sis in law. Still, negative points for me.
Yes, I feel the same as to what others think here. This drama deserve a bit of a higher rating. Gave it an 8. As from the title itself, too many plots going on till the end. There are mostly draggy parts midway. However, the romance is definitely there. The story itself almost have same story plot with Begin Again, while the romance gave me that Once We get Married vibe of romance. Overloading kisses from the main leads. Love the character of the ML here. Not really a fan of the FL's character but I like their cute son Chris. Reminds me of Xiao Bao in Unforgettable Love. Overall, definitely not a waste of time. It can be tagged as Romcoms I believe.
Yes, I kinda noticed too that this is quite a low-budget drama. The Emperor's hall is quite small which looks like just a bedroom with a receiving area. hehehe Also bothered with the Dowager's clothes. that off-shoulder gowns just doesn't fit her. she looks like a trying to be young granny. hehehe Another thing I noticed is that Prince Ji wears earings. Is that allowed for males during the Dynasty era? quite surprised. Anyways, the story plot is just okay for me. Not too interesting. so many draggy scenes that I have to keep on pressing the frwd button. I really hate the trust issues part of the FL in the beginning. First time to watch Zhang si Fan in a drama. enjoyed his acting, specially on that part where he's supposed to be surprised on what the FL is saying. That was a funny scene. :D I didn't like much the FL here though I love her character in Unforgettable Love. Also watched her in Sleepless Princess, kinda same acting as what she did here. Overall, this is a light fluffy drama with a fantasy twist on it. Just got hooked because of that ML kisses.
I enjoyed this drama for the following reasons: First, I realy liked Liu Xue Yi's portrayal here. He really looked dashing showing his quirky side of him. I also liked him in Ancient Love Poetry, but I feel his portrayal here is way alot better. Didn't liked his character in Love at Night, I guess, there was no chemistry with his FL in that drama. Second: I really loved Nan Nan's character. This kid can really act so well and he was able to pull off being a naughty son. Such a cute kiddo. not to mention too talented and smart too. Lastly, I liked that the romance was already there from epi. 1. I could have given this drama a much higher rating if only the amnesia trope has not been used. I'm just really not a fan of amnesia's. i really hate that the couple has to suffer with their relationship just because of that darn amnesia thing. Great cast! Great ending! I also liked Quin Luo's disciples and Ye Hao Ran's character. So funny. :D Just another thing, instead of the amnesia thng, I would prefer if the Love triangle was just emphasized. I just love seeing Liu Xe Yi competetive and quirky at this moments. Good fight scenes too i should say. and that scorpion! lolz!
I didn't enjoy this drama at all. Have to forward most of the scenes just to finish it. The first 5 episodes got me hooked but everything went downhill after the time reversal. It's my first time to watch the main leads in a drama. the chemistry ewas there, still the romance was lacking. Very minimal sweet moments together. Too many characters to follow since each one of them has their own story. Too many draggy scenes, in which this drama could have been better with only 24 episodes since it didn't much have to offer honestly. The ending was just okay, I just didn't felt it. Like you wouldn't feel head over heels for it. At some point, I kinda questioned the loyalty of the ML towards the FL as there were scenes that he kinda wavered for that Princess Doxia, though he was like telling he had a special friendship with her, I think that's just the same thing. Anyways, the visual effects and fight scenes were good. The storyline was just too off for me.
This is a neatly done drama I should say. Story is okay. Actors are awesome! Not to mention, lots of good looking men in this drama. First time to watch the main leads in a drama. ML, i should say is so hot with those abs. FL is okay too. The supporting leads are cute too. Loved the little kid XingXing. I truly enjoyed this drama with a bit of funny moments and of course, the sizzling romance was there. Another thing I liked in this drama are the episodes which are squeezed in to 16 only. Lastly, I love it when it's a feel good drama after watching it.
This would have been better if it is a regular 45 mins per epi drama. Because its a short mini series, everything felt so rushed. The chemistry was there. Still it lacked romance. The kiss is so limited. The main leads sweet moments together are still lacking. I guess, I would never really be into short mini series. Everything will always feel lacking.
I decided to check out on this drama as I noticed its quite high rating. I find the story just average. Just your typical historical drama cliche. First time to watch the entire cast. Main leads are okay. I find Ni Han Jin more interesting, not to mention that handsome face. :) What I enjoyed in this drama are the overflowing quite realistic kisses. And what I didn't like are the final last 2 episodes. First, the 2 female crime masterminds were not even punished from their crimes. Second, I really hate the Emperor's judgement. He makes an excuse that he's so busy with so many things but as a matter of fact, Ha cannot admit what he really has done wrong and think only of himself. A true leader should have stepped down from his throne and passed the crown to his deserving son at least to atone from his shortcomings. Third, The coma part of Ling Miyue where her hair has to turn white is too much of a cliche. None of signifcance to the drama. It would have been a better ending if she was already pregnant or have given birth to their child and also reunited with her 2nd brother. Overall, this drama is kinda over rated I guess.
Ning Que's character here is definitely a charmer, since he was able to lure the Princess' attention.
I feel sad for Sang Sang's character here. I felt she was never really loved by Ning Que. It's more of like he needs her than love her. Up to the end, She still call him Master. The romantic connection wasn't really there sadly. I just liked the part that Sang Sang fought her right to be the only woman in ML's life. Honestly, ML's character here is not ideal at all. He still needs to be shaken up just to confirm what he really feels. Specially, on that part that he wavered for that Mo Leader. I really felt sad for Sang Sang.
Overall, aside from the fact that this has too many episodes. If you're into so romance like me, this is not the drama for you. This is a no kiss, no physical contact drama. Just enough to see holding hands and one single kiss on the cheek. A total bummer. Haven't seen season 2. Am losing hope on romance for the next season.
Hope writers of Jdramas could improve their story plots just as how Cdramas and Kdramas are doing so great specially in romance genre. They really need to improve on the characters specially FL. another thing that's lacking here is the romance. Am sure the ML could have done more romantically here that would really make him more irresistable.
Overall, not satisfied at all with the ending. It would have been more better if the wedding did push through for the main couple. Aside from Yuto's character, the only thing I also liked here is Yuto's mom. Too cool for a future mother in law! Absolutely liked that! :D

I must say she has been consistently annoying in all her roles. I don't know, but inspite of her beautiful face, her roles are always annoying in a drama. Once I see her, I already get annoyed.
Oh yes, after watching this, I would really love to eat more cotton candies. :D Overall, this drama is truly enjoyable to watch and you shouldn't miss.
