what a waste of really good idea

I am not happy about this drama because it really did not deliver. The beginning of the story has flashbacks to the modern times and ancient times but that is all. Nothing included in the plot, nothing explained. And the same flashbacks at the end. Like what the fudge??? I like both actors in lead but their story, even though it had a great potential, really was neither here nor there. The FL character was written like an imbecile, which I had a problem with because she could have been a much better one, but alas, this low budget thingy did not give us any chance to really care for the people in it. The villain was wooden and straight from cartoons. The 2ML was such a powerful presence yet completely underutilized. The 2nd couple was actually really cute, but then the whole cat demon thingy was reduced to a caricature. I am not sure if it deserves 7 points but I am writing this because after that bait beginning (with the leads on the motorcycle and in republican China which was awesome) I am left with "really??? what did I just watch???". If this was an inside joke of the makers of previous dramas with these actors, then it was really poorly executed and did not entice me to watch any of them. How would we even know that there were other dramas about this couple???
The screen writer and director need to go back to the drawing board and make it consistent story telling of two lovers across the time who sacrifice themselves for the sake of showing others that love between humans and demons is possible.

Must watch first 11 eps! This is a very romantic cp

I personally rated it 8.0 and if I stopped at ep11, it would be a solid 8.5 because it has comedy, cuteness and romance, well scripted, acted and executed, but given all 20 episodes it really is less than that.
We have many cp here (listed in chronological order) starting with the Godes like Lu Ming and her demon lover Sha. She gets tricked by her master into offing her lover and then offs herself.
Then we have the body of Lu Ming reincarnated as Cheng Yan (another cultivator hell bent on offing demons) who is close to her brother Cheng Tian, but he in turn is just the body of her brother taken over by - you guessed it - Sha. Therefore, he has hots for her while she is really interested in someone else. Who?
Cheng Yan is drawn to Chen: a cute, kitty soft and purring demon with amnesia who falls head over heels - with reciprocity! The best part is first 11 episodes when their love is so romantic, sweet and downright steamy on their wedding night. Yikes! You can tell that this duo (Fang Tong and Xiao Dong) played a couple before and I highly recommend you go back to Kiss Me, Save Me to watch them all googly eyed in modern/drama times. They are smoking hot and I want to see them together more! Unless Tong can do another comedy like Decreed by Fate with Yan Zi Xian who was hilarious in My Uncanny Destiny (their recent Culinary Vendetta was so so, but they have a potential).
Back to the story
There is also Mu Ling who is after Cheng Tian, but that is going nowhere other than really nasty with the 2ML and FL.
And when we come to ep 12 things start going blah. 2ML is not convincing and a few episodes are wasted on things we really don't need, but in the end (ep19 and 20) we are getting closer to the truth of why Chen and Cheng Yan are so close and destined.
The ending is like what we got in Love of Nirvana and Till the End of the Moon, so don't complain. Also, if you are against actors paired up with some age gap - I am totally fine with Tong Tong being 31 and her romantic partner in this production being only 24. They DO fit well, and I hope they will do more dramas together.
OST and BGM is fitting, esthetically it's as good as A Moment but Forever (same sets I think) and definitely beats some other really bad stuff that I dropped this year.
If you watch to the end, you will realize that the plot starts going places it did not intend to go in the first half of the drama and while the ending is what I completely predicted, and think is fitting - it's 7.5 only.

Very complex story packed with good characters - romance, revenge and whole lot of more!

This was one of the first surprises in 2025: short, but really involved story which sometimes was overdone and sometimes uncooked. Acting was pretty good although sometimes uneven, but overall the effect was really good.
Below are the major spoilers because tracking all the twists of the story is not so easy if you fast forward too much as a habit.

The story of a princess from the South who is raised by and for the enemy (North) to be their valiant leader of Jet-Black Armored Cavalry, is buried deeply underneath the usual orphan girl (pretending to be a boy) to general story. But while she is a kickass military person and has awesome relationship with her men (including 2nd prince of North who is her vice general) there are three scoundrels who plot to get rid of her - including the North King who orders her and her troop to be killed to keep 2nd prince under control. The history is further complicated by the fact that 2nd prince competes with his older brother for the throne and there is a envoy from the South (Shafeng) who falls for the general and also wants to get his paws on the North's throne.
The general FL does not die along her men, but she has to be now the tool and a toy of that dude from the South who not only gives the general better face but also masquerades himself as the 1st prince and... kills the North King after he imprisons the 1st stealing his face!
Further down the road 2nd prince falls for the general who is now a woman, and we are on the roller coaster ride because the general is poisoned and made a puppet of the Southern madman and unwillingly blinds the 2nd prince! Regardless of all of that the true love flourishes and in order to save his girl 2nd prince takes the general to the South King looking for a remedy. There we learn that the remedy can only be applied during the intercourse and the South King has that remedy in his hands, while WE know that the general is his sister!!! Will there be an incest?
Well, it all works out because of love: brotherly and romantic. People sacrifice themselves left and right (so many good side characters well written and played!) and in the end all band together to free the 1st prince from the clutches of the madman from the South pretending to be the North King now aiming at marrying the general even though he is dying of poison himself. He will give the general antidote to her poison but in exchange for killing the 2nd prince. The general is smart and will just wound her beloved, but after she does the madman from the South reveals that he poisoned the weapons so even a scratch will kill the 2nd prince. How do you like it now, huh?
Ending? In Ep 23 we are still wondering how the Southern scoundrel is going to ruin leads' happiness since he escaped the North with the news that South now has an antidote to his poison. In the last episode the tension builds incredibly because now there is the 3rd country attacking the North and they came with the deadly poisons of the Shafeng on their weapons! The 2nd prince now the King of North orders his soon to be wife and queen to stay in the palace, but when she defies that order he follows her because she is always his general. The HE could have been better organized rather than two-line comment about the death of the Southern madman, but it was still satisfying to see that the ML stood by FL!

For those who had seen the FL actress before (for ex in Love and Bid Farewell) you will love her agency and power here. For those who like the male leads here - all 3 ML are handsome and there is plenty of naked torsos and seductive masculinity in plain view. All of that is encased in a really nice sound/OST and framed with very good outdoor shots with incredible lighting that fits the scenes' gravitas or melancholy (you will love half naked troop toiling against the backdrop of greener than envy grass as well as kisses, lingering longing and intimacy - particularly the bed scene after consummation!)

a romance with unusual setting

I am on the Chen Tian Xiang (ML) spree watching everything he played in 2025 and there is a lot! (23 dramas 20 of which he plays as lead). So I have a chance to compare him in different roles (mostly costume) and I am impressed. He is a very good, expressive and natural actor. Here he plays two versions of self: the ruthless regent and meek scholar - both to win the girl he fell in love with.
The premise is simple and plot predictable so -with little surprises - we can indulge in clever moves, growing romance (plenty of kisses! and other intimate moments) and an interesting attitude of the leads.
FL is living her life second time around, so we watch how she sets up her husband and his family into ruin and while she makes choices to accomplish that she is expressing definitely modern ideas about women's rights, needs and independence to choose. The ML somehow follows her lead and so we can enjoy him being almost perfect boyfriend/lover who in the end marries into her family (matrilocal).
This feels completely like Please Come into My Heart (with the same lead actress which I rated 8/10) minus modern transmigrated FL in the plot. ML is a submissive boytoy who only shows his fangs to defend his girl. It was not as much fun as Yun Meng Gui with the same lead actor (which I rated 8/10 as well).
If you have nothing to do and like cute couples with a woman who calls the shots, you can spend 2.5 hours on this.

Is there even a need for a review on this??? Do not watch beyond ep 41

First 40 episodes contain a seductions fest with funny and cute moments both explicit and suggestive. This deserves 7-7.5 maybe. But....
Next 20 episodes contain mostly dumbassery mixed with humiliation and cruelty toward FL. Not a pretty picture.
Last 20 episodes are regrets, grandiose delusions and attempts to right the wrong otherwise known as boring fest.
I think they came up with the idea of two souls in one body to pay for one less actress. Seriously, there was no earthly reason for putting that idea in the script as it was completely underutilized and could have been done with two actors playing two characters. Why would they do the two souls is beyond my understanding.
I was in the office with so many cancellations that every other hour I was bored to death and started watching it - now regretting not going to a dentist or something, which would have had at least some health value.
I give 1 star to mutants that should not have seen the light of the day and die on its own without anyone witnessing it.
PS
Feel sorry for the actors to have to "play" in something like that.

local chronicle of the worst parts of Ming Dynasty living

If you are a survivor of childhood abuse, you may want to skip this or get ready to be triggered.
Historical drama and not a romance, but love is here, left and right, and wrong. And mystery. And frustration.
There are a few ways to describe this show. The most capturing is a great quiet love story between two mature adults who want to be together (long gazes, shy holding hands and trying to be where the other one is) as well as a love story of a rich and handsome guy who is ready to throw away his family honors and fortune to be with the low status woman he adores, and we can see where her heart starts to quicken! On the third hand 😂this is a story of obsession (not love) that schemes, manipulates and abuses in the name of a higher emotional "fate-driven" entitlement! All wrapped in intelligence of the FL, upright nature of a stoic ML, charms of carefree looker boy SML who stands by his lady, while we cringe at the presence and the smirk of the villain with his fingers in everything.
This is also a frustrating investigative drama following minor yamen cases and the past secrets and mysteries of local residents with power struggle amongst prefectural dignitaries with a few of greedy merchants and stuck-up scholars mixed in.

This drama is a spellbinding story of lower- or middle-class people who struggle with maintaining their morality and staying afloat. You get FL who avoids attention and favors, and even love, while using her gender assigned attributes to keep alive, because that gives her a chance to maybe uncover the secret of her parent's death or someone's misery, and to contribute to giving the world a bit of hope and justice because she is a woman who perseveres by bending rather than breaking - without losing her integrity. You get a sobering sense of how little power most people had in setting own life and how much manipulation they endured which yielded sorrow, disappointment and resignation.

I liked how the drama was made - you don't get awesome color palette, breathtaking views, opulent interiors and frilly costumes as life here is harsh in general unless you are nobility or hold higher office. You don't get swooning females, sword-handling cavaliers professing their love with dimples and receiving eye lid flutters with smiled kisses. You don't get larger than life characters fighting with spiritual powers and heroes who save the day.

Really good script not aiming at dazzling us with cleverness of the yamen investigators, solid characters that slowly reveal what their dilemmas are, great camera work around slightly claustrophobic set and good editing (the director used mini-drama tricks to make this full-length series flow almost effortlessly and move us from one part to another without much unnecessary filler delays). Perfect musical framing. Actors picked for their acting styles and ability to embody the characters.
Unfortunately, after watching the whole series I had to keep my rating low because of anticlimactic and underwhelming ending. Something happened after ep 31 where the script and the story line became weak and the explanation behind what happened in ep36 are completely missing.

Clever, funny, well-acted romance with time travel you will enjoy

I know that there are some people who did not like it because of the ending but let me tell you: you will enjoy this costume drama regardless of what comes in the end!
What I enjoyed was a clever story of time travel with complete reversal of the roles, epochs and such, and an ending that actually makes sense and you will like it too if you pause for a moment and get your breadcrumbs together.

I enjoyed humor, particularly three male concubines in the Cold Palace. I liked the consistency of the personalities and how the actors played them, I loved the scenery - nothing familiar about the vistas, architecture of the main location and decor/costumes/makeup. I really liked the music, the theme sung by the female singer (I have not yet looked it up). Yes, it was smaller budget miniseries, but editing was good as was the artistic concept of this thing.

Now, in all honesty I am not sure how you will interpret the plot but here is what I got out of it.
In the coup staged by the 2nd prince the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom is killed and the Crown Prince framed for it. The Princes, FL, quelches the rebellion, bans CP and takes over the throne because she is a kick ass heroine, and her 2nd brother can't measure up. Unfortunately, during the coup the Princess (now Empress) witnesses the death of a brave warrior who actually dies saving her - in her arms I must add. We see that he gives her a bracelet in some scene so we know that he is someone special but can't really tell how close he is to her. The freshly crowned Empress grieves her father, exiled brother and the man who died in her arms while looking at the bracelet and as the bracelet falls apart, the Empress gets transported into the future.

She ends up 1000 years later with a movie star (who looks just like the guy who died protecting her) and because of a paparazzi taking some compromising pictures, she ends up being shoved into the position of the spoilt brat star's assistant. Luckily, her guard gets transported as well and the two of them get to know the modern times while trying to figure out how to get back to their own time. There is a Fairy Goldfish that reveals to the Empress that she must get the movie star fall in love with her, if she is to go back, so you know what is going to happen next. In the process the Empress encounters a man who reminds her of her 2nd brother, the villain, and she even gets to act with the ML she is falling in love with thus enraging the pouty female lead in the drama they play together. The learning of life in 21st century is not a breeze for an ancient woman also because the guy she works for is a prima donna. But they are getting closer and fonder of each other. There are even sweet moments there. But the Empress is determined to find her way back and her guard works on it too. Finally, when she and the guard are ready to go back, as luck would have it, the ML who is completely head over hills with the Empress (and is now accepting that she is from another time) confesses to her. Alas, Empress really wants to go home and rejects him, but before she does that jealous female movie star rams her car into the garden and ML saves the Empress once again. Unluckily, he dies in Empress' arms after that, and his blood and her tears activate the bracelet that he was just offering her as a proposal token. As a result, she and the guard go back to their times. Luckily, ML goes back unharmed too just because Fairy Goldfish said so.

And now we get to see the Empress in her own element and ML trying to survive in ancient times while trying to get to his love. And he is not having that much fun because the Empress is avoiding him! Why? The first thing that the Empress learns from the Fairy Goldfish upon returning is - the fate of her and ML is set: he will always die protecting her-in any life. The Empress is terrified because she saw him die twice, so now she is staying away and even after ML becomes a harem boy with two other cuties, there is no getting to her. Banned to the Cold Place the three male concubines do a song and dance routine to gain Empress favor. That is interspersed with gross, but funny beating up of the Northern Kingdom Prince who is being pushed as a husband for the Empress. I will spare you the details, there are twists and turns like first Empress declaring that women can sit for imperial examinations and be officials, then that each man can have only one wife and no concubines, then injuring her leg during daily yoga and ML procuring a wheelchair, then ML being poisoned by the 2nd prince who is aware of the Empress fondness of ML (ML again ends up nearly dead in her embrace!) and the Empress facing giving up throne or not getting antidote for the ML's poison. In the end both leads are victorious: he is detoxified, and she catches 2nd prince red-handed in rebellion. When all is done and we are watching them reunite, there is an assassin shooting an arrow at the Empress and - well you guessed it: ML dies protecting his love.
Did you like it? Of course not! How to like watching her holding him dying for the 4th time? Except...
As the snow falls on the Empress holding her dead lover the camera zooms out, director yells, cut and wrap-up and we realize that the Empress never went back to the Southern Kingdom, but stayed and became a movie star acting with the ML and they have their thing going on.
It was a clever story with a HE but not the ending we were expecting and that is why I am giving it 9!

Completely silly and fun. An absolute must watch for the fans of Wang Ze Xuan

I really enjoyed the story of a modern spunky girl bumping into the consciousness of a meek ancient boy. The silliness and lightness of the scenes are hard not to enjoy, but you have to watch it tongue in cheek otherwise you will be dropping this. We have a clever girl enjoying the ride while taking charge of the meek massage master at a male bathhouse - you can tell where this is going, right? Well, the twist is: to get back to her life she needs to make the ML marry the princess of whom he has been hopelessly dreaming about. Of course, the things get complicated when the boy and the girl fall in love inside of his mind...
Cheng Fang Tong is a master of comedies, but she is pretty versatile. If you have not had a chance to watch Wang Ze Xuan before -this role was really a showcase of his talents. A Yi Xia although her role was rather poorly written did a marvelous job of being a proud princess. There is some eye candy with bare chests, but I really enjoyed the range of acting by the ML as he went from a pushover awkward boy to a loud and bossy girl, through a man terrified of the things that are happening to him, and recognizing and missing his love, to a man sacrificing himself in the name of that love and his beloved. I watched him in A Familiar Stranger and Hard to Find, and believe he is a great talent worthy of main roles in full length dramas. And even if this was not an ambitious production, I am giving it a high mark for that reason.

weak character in a gloomy/melancholic story with disappointing ending

Not often do I see ML purposely portrayed as a weak or indecisive benevolent person who is being forced into another person's will but DOES NOT show that heroic determination to overcome his shortcomings. In most cases we see hero's journey from one characteristic to something different, but here ML stays the same.
This was underwhelming overall effort to show something but what - I have hard time to determine
Honestly the best part was ep 1 and 2 where I loved two virgins drugged and intimate and trying to figure out what to do with themselves. But after that - the FL remains the least expressive, which suits her characterization but makes the story boring. Likewise, ML actor did a great job playing wilted flower of disfranchised emperor. The royal brother was played well, but royal uncle meh. I really really liked the side story of the Empress but the ending was bleak and we are left with sad reinforcement of the old feudal rules regarding women, rape, pregnancy, shame and such.
I am moving on to watch Mission of the Heart where Meng En is another lead. Perhaps that one will be better.

What an incredibly complex story!!!!

I read the synopsis and saw who is playing and that was enough to start watching. But this miniseries was really surprising in what content it offered along with hidden identity characters and ahm... kissing and other hot bodies scenes. I will not try to give you the plot because there would be enough to keep you reading for 20 minutes but believe me - this one has everything and some!
The best parts:
*The actors are very eye catching, playing their hearts out. All of them!
*The plot gets you through a roller coaster of emotions because in 24 episodes you watch all possible options of what could go wrong and right with the revenge plan delivered by at least 3 people. Including brothel performer with zero power becoming royal consort and the prince being dropped from the top place in the royal hierarchy to the position of a slave. Trying to figure out who to root for and what to hope for at whichever point of the drama (given the knowledge of the motives of all characters at that moment) was part of this wild ride.
* Characters as written are in itself a treat. It's hard to tell who the good guy is and why, because all throughout the series you get jaw dropping disclosures and surprises. Heck, even toward the end you still get that sinking feeling in the stomach as the screen writer does not care about our expectations and takes no prisoners (figuratively speaking). The final discovery is not so shocking, but you still feel like it was coming since the beginning and was well hidden even though you get the sense of who the villain could be early on (you just don't know exactly why, and the target shifts a couple of times). But you will get a lovely romance and a couple triangles of love along with second leads. Characters are pretty much set and not changing, just revealing a bit more of their personalities, secrets and hidden agendas.
*OST was fitting the mood and well developed. A few instrumental pieces were actually better than songs.

Shortcomings:
*Honestly, it took me a long time to finish this not only because Mango TV channel was not always tuning in for me and YT version of Mango TV produced really bad translation of the drama with awfully chopped version with no opening or ending credits, but I had to put a lot of energy towards figuring out what is who saying due to delayed/sped up translation not synchronized with the scenes. Hopefully you will watch a better version and rate it higher.
*What I did not appreciate was the ease with which the people in the story were easily fooled, swayed or turned against their loved ones, even if for short period of time, thank God.
*I joked that half of the budget went to the red paint and person splashing it at actors faces.
*Sometimes scenes were mainly for our viewing enjoyment ie kisses, bedroom and bath interludes not really adding to the story or our understanding of the characters. You will see plenty of long loving glances as well as passionate glares and close ups. Chemistry? Ah, not consistent because of the plot, but there is teasing and seduction.
*it got rather tedious with every new turn in the story line after ep 18 - I was getting tired of the ups and downs and just wanted them to be together and happy but must say it kept my interest to the last moment.

You know the genius when you see it

A stunningly beautiful production with great idea for the "plot" seamless masterful editing and content that will blow your mind. This short gem tells a "story" of human experience, emotions and entrapment from which we can free ourselves. I found this moving, inspiring and hopeful. Honestly, after seeing another mini drama by this director, I knew this was going to be great, but the final effect was absolutely fantastic.
It is hard to describe what you will get/enjoy about this movie as it all depends on who you are, what is your lifetime experience and level of personal growth/sense of meaning. I have not seen a movie of that magnitude in a while.
You are not losing much by watching - maybe 20 minutes of your 'now', but I guarantee this will stay with you, no matter what you rate it.

A lovely low budget romance with a great plot and great chemistry, and lot of kisses with OE

Nine Lives Reunion!!! Imagine an orphan raised and trained as an assassin by her godfather who now sets on revenge. In the process she is married off to her childhood friend whom she does not recognize but who still loves her and actually helps her realize the truth behind the events that left her parents dead. But, the villain seems a step ahead of the couple, so no matter how they try to fix the past and how many times they die and loop back to the time of their first encounter as adults - the fate just dishes up surprise after surprise including her killing the man who loves her, her not remembering him at all, her marrying another dude, him abandoning her to fix everything on his own, etc.! You will be amazed by the story and even if overall this is just a cute and simple romance with time loops and limited number of lives of the leads, you are in for a great development of feelings for the characters that are played rather well. This drama reminded me of Reset (and BTW Liu Zhi Li, ML, played support role in it!) but it delivers more sweet moments of getting close and reuniting of the two lovers all dosed in great kissing! Sure, there are some idiotic moments and shortcuts that do not aide anything, plus that open ending yikes! And the translation on IQIYI was rather bad or missing, but you will easily fill in the gaps and enjoy it. AND this is a gem if you are looking for great looking making out scenes, you will not be disappointed - just check out the ep 10. The lead actors have great chemistry and fit together very well. They both have some good performances under their belts at this point (Strange Princess and Echo of her Voice; Startling Love with amazing cross dressing! and even Moonlight Mystique) and I do hope will have more roles that utilize their fresh and natural acting. OST is appropriately placed and adds to the experience. The on-location feel lends itself to making it an 8/10 although open ending and the secondary romance dropped it for me to 7.5

The best contemporary story of urban life in China

The best contemporary story of urban life in China. Real characters, adult relationships, lovely music, breathtaking shots of Beijing and an amazing close up of ugliness of business side of life (corporate scheming!). A poignant review of various social issues so common all over the world, incl. gender, economic and generational gaps, with smart, but vulnerable men and women, downplayed in the way that delivers without making you feel like you are watching propaganda. Instead, we get to watch from a hidden place how China has changed in the past 25 years and experience with the characters a small slice of life that this existence carries for us. Excellent casting. Great directing and editing. I loved cinematography as it fed into my longing for the real China, the one I experienced in person and not via silly cdramas. Comparable only to My Liberation Notes and Go Ahead.

This could have been so much better but falls flat on its face-this was not Mr. Queen

I was so taken in by the synopsis that says "Modern CEO Lin Yu Hao suddenly finds his consciousness transported into the tea merchant game he developed, now inhabiting the body of Wei Xiao Tang, a new bride of the Li family" and the trailer that shows two modern guys looking at each other lovingly. I surmised that even though a man "becomes" a woman in the game, he will actually fall in love with the ML. And I was not wrong, except...
Both lead actors were playing well as per scripted character roles, but the story was cliche and delivered in such a way that left me scratching my head. I was really, really hoping for openly gay romance, but instead it was ML silently waiting or minimally working on getting FL, who really was not that interested in anything but the game.
The most important part that the makers I think were trying to focus on is that loving someone of the same sex is OK and - given heavy reliance on "fated" connection in cdrama tradition- if we are attracted on someone of the same sex it is probably because we were in the "normal" relationship with them in previous life. Or in a dream. Or in the game. Or some other justification that at this point is needed for CCP and conservative Chinese public that believes in two genders and attraction along these lines.
There was way too many slow mo scenes and repetition of the the same scenes wrapped in music taken from another short drama A Familiar Stranger, which for me ruined the final effect.
And while we get a HE the writing at the end are desperate attempt to put substance in this production regardless of what it really could not accomplish in 25 episodes.
If you like the actors - watch it. If you want Bromance skip it. If you want BL go watch Kill to Love again.

A predictable plot with okay acting but one hell of the message in ep 18!

I will not give too much of what the story is about because it's nothing new. What I will praise this for (and that is the main reason for giving this 8/10) is the ep 18 handling of incredibly harsh event and its aftermath. Hats off to the screenwriter for creating this powerhouse of an episode. If you don't want to know - skip this, but if you want to check for yourself - just watch ep 18.
As a trauma therapist I can only say that any woman who has been sexually assaulted could benefit from watching it. True, not every woman would have killed her rapist (and I do not condone killing, honorary or for revenge), but I am stressing both the heroine's and her man's reactions to the event. And how they acted it out. Well, maybe if he was less pushing for the kissing at the end, I would have given it 8.5). This is why the weak plot and mediocre acting overall are forgiven. Unlike what we could see in Love and Bid Farewell (where I questioned the fact of having no redeeming value in showing the rape) this gives us something to ponder on.
I liked the colors, costumes and decorations, but like many viewers disliked the face make up of FL. I liked the cute interactions between them although I must say it was typical modern girl with pseudo-historical man and completely goofy dad. We got what the audience likes in these shorter dramas, incl. evil prince, although I believe that there was no resolution of the FL's transmigration in the first place.
And as always with c drama - alas, the title has nothing to do with the plot.
Would I watch it again? If not in the entirety, then just to share the wisdom in ep 18.
