Yeah what will happen next?
Pick a random movie available on YT just to fill the time. Unfortunately it's a little bit dissapointing.Really hope they continue a little bit more before closing the curtain. Maybe like just let Azusa Oribe & Takashi Hayama come face to face. That's gonna push the score a little bit better in my book.
What I like about this movie is unfortunately only one: Interesting concept of story. But... This also end with bad execution. Or maybe just not my taste.
Overall this only end up as another movie on my list. And...
Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
What I don't like:
- The open ending. I really don't like the ending. I really hope they either end up Takashi Hayama just totally forget about Azusa Oribe, or like i said in the beginning, they meet face to face in the final scene.
- They never really explained to us about why everyone keep forgetting about Azusa Oribe

Intrique to watch this from YouTube pitching. Turn out as quite good. Sometimes really amazing with YouTube algorithm. Haha...Story about a man, Liu Li (LL), who goes through heart break. Although it's been 2 years, but LL still can't move on from his crush and that's effect his writing. It's like he's been running in place for 2 years. And that's when he meet Gu Jing (GJ), the owner of beef noodle restaurant under his house. And they story began when LL drunk & accidently kiss GJ.
This drama told story about time, friendship & love heal the wound & open new beginning. This drama also tell us about to learn to put ur partner in every things in ur life. Like when GJ have trouble with his mom, LL that finally speak up & break the cycle.
Overall this heart warming story about love & relationships.

What an ending...
Long time want to watch this but quite hesitate cause of Johnny Huang. Quite bored see him only in military drama. But in the end quite glad I'm watching this...Quite confusing reading the summary given by MDL, if I only read the summary here, prob not gonna press the play button...
The story start with a girl, Nan Chu (NC), rescue by fire fighter from fire accident. When NC want to met her savior, she learned that the fire fighter died not long after recue her. Then the scene move forward to 5 years later, when NC grow up to be a dancer, but due to her financial problem she finally sign contract with management artist that give her the job to be in reality show aimed at promoting firefighting knowledge.
In that show NC met many fire fighters but her get most impression with Lin Lu Xiao (LX) , the head of station. After sometimes in their interactions, NC finally learn that the one that actually saved her 5 years ago is LX. & finally their love journey begin...
What I like:
+ The lesson about fire hazard in the beginning & end of each episode.
+ The Family of fire fighter. One really solid family relationship between all the fire fighter.
+ The good chemistry between Johnny Huang & Zhang Jing Yi
+ No stupid love rival. There's a little bit competition to win over NC, but in the end the other party just drop it, maybe a little bit too fast. But he makes no drama about it. Even after NC & LX separated...
What I don't like:
- NC is like the curse girl that attract fire. Haha... In the drama she involve with big fire accident, are like 4-5 times. That's too many for me. She's already like Conan or Shinichi that attract case where ever he go. Haha...
- The stupid separation between NC & LX. They even lost contact with each other
- The open ending that makes me want to scream WHAT THE H*CK!!! We really need special episode for this...
Overall this one fire fighter drama that a little bit too close to reality. We get the bond of each fire fighter, the death & all the incidents... Prepare tissue if you want to watch this. Haha...

I can't believe my eyes...
Whoa... Where should I start...Never expected to find BL stories that more chaotic than tharntype. Haha... Everything that so messed up that you can think about materialized in here... Haha... Of course, I'm talking about Fu Yong Jie & Ye Xing Si story...
Trigger warning, this gonna be big SPOILER ALERT. Cause I gonna tell you what mean with 'everything that so messed up that you can think about materialized in here.'
Ok as usual save review first.
This drama basically tell story about 2 couple. 1st Xiao Li Cheng (LC) & Teng Mu Ren / "Teng Teng" (TT) and 2nd is Fu Yong Jie (YJ) & Ye Xing Si (XS).
The 1st couple LC & TT tell story about 2 best friend that with time & the right trigger in the end having more feeling with each other. Why right trigger...? Just don't judge me homophobic after reading my review.... But their feeling starts after one of their new colleagues, Liu Mei Fang, observation toward their behaviors with each other, start playing 'matchmaking'. And after so many influences LC & TT start to feel different toward each other, especially after one special night... That's why I said the right trigger. Because without the matchmaking game I don't think their feeling for each other will go anywhere & just stay friend & platonic.
But anyhow I kinda like LC & TT chemistry with each other. And I also really like the friendship & dynamic between LC, TT & XS. The mature & father figure of XS that help LC & TT with giving his ear for their problem. The cat & mouse relationship between TT & LC. And in the end they're really one true friend that gonna stay by each other side though thick & thin...
Overall this quite good drama with many many problem....
==================================================
Ok now the BIG SPOILER!!!!
Fu Yong Jie (YJ) & Ye Xing Si (XS) story is so messed up, it make me quite speechless...
The biggest problem!
How can until the end no one educate YJ for his fault & problem. Even until the end XS still said he can't be angry for everything that YJ did. OH... MY... GOD... (said it like Janice from FRIENDS. Haha...)
What YJ did wrong...?
1st he stalks his brother, his hidden love, even when he's sleeping.
2nd he rapes him, yup RAPE, made his brother drunk & f***ing rape him.
3rd he goes against his brother, now lover, wish & tell their dad about their relationship. Even with the knowledge that his dad can have heart attack when hearing this info...
And what his family do after all of that??? F***ing nothing. They just forgive & accepted him back to the family with no consequences at all. Not even a little bit punishment or wrath from the family...
Once more OH... MY... GOD... (said it like Janice from FRIENDS. Haha...

Hesitate to watch this cause Angelababy not my fav actress, a few times watch her just to find her acting lack something. But on the first ep I already see Ren Jia Lun act something beyond my imagination. Of course that make me have to watch this....This story really interesting to watch. They talk about something taboo, mental illness & make us understand that this kind of illness we can't take lightly & sometimes we really need consult or just talk to someone & that's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Ok this drama talk about Liu Xia (LX), a psychological counselor & Qi Lian Shan (LS), a screenwriter. They accidentally become roommates & friend & finally partner for each other. Really interesting how their relationship grow, it's a little slow pace but how they build the friendship & trust is real & fit. I can feel Ren Jia Lun & Angelababy have good friendship, if not earlier at least in the time they shoot the drama.
What really interesting from this drama:
+ We can sometimes see Ren Jia Lun act combustible, due to him act according to script he write. We see him jump, do little karate, everything so cute that I never expected him to do...
+ We got more story than we expected. Haha... LS is script writer and during the drama he write 3 drama, so we get to see all the story he write comes to life with familiar face from all the actor in this drama. So yeah each actor also played more than 1 characters throughout the drama.
+ We got to see the real character true face from the drama LS wrote, especially the police story.
What feel a little lack:
- I don't like the ending. It feel it still leave something hanging in the air that need to be take care of before they close the curtain.
- Due to each character play several characters in the drama, I sometimes got confuse about it. Yeah i know they quite different, but still....
Overall this quite good drama to watch

Another good short drama, with complete concept with beginning-middle-end. We can see this is not really a low budget short drama. Even though it's only 14 ep with 35 min each, but we can say this made with love & story to tell.Really interesting how they flip the concept of time travelling & what a poor Lu Yu An (YA). This story start in the future & with each time travelling Shen Bu Yan (BY) move backward in time instead just moving forward. So the first time meeting between BY & YA is actually the last time they met each other & the last meeting is actually the first time they met each other. So yeah, with all the knowledge & missing feeling of BY by YA, it's just pity her...
This drama tell story of BY that try to change the fate of YA. With each time travelling he tried his best to change the fate of YA, but instead changing it, I say he put everything just in the place where it's belong. And with the wheel keep going backward each time we got story to tell...
This time travel concept tell us that we can't really change what in the past, we can only learn & know what happen in the past. That's why, I kinda frustrated with BY actually. He a little bit slow in understand the concept of his time travelling, so he just waste so many valuable time to tell YA what she need to know about future. I mean YA obviously already told him, in the second time, at that time she still has memory of BY, how he not understand that he can't change the wheel of fate...? A little slow if I must say. Haha...
Overall this really one good short story that you may check out. Oh and btw, This is maybe the first time that I really like the performance of Zhang Ya Qin as YA... She played her good....

Short & simple drama
Simple story about love. A short drama that sweet, fluff & just simple to fill your day. For the short drama I can say this has complete story, has beginning-middle-ending. The story itself not a complicated one, but still leave a footprint in your memory.Story about a girl that like another girl. Maybe like shiro wrote: 'This is the story about the girl who wanted to learn how to make great coffee... or more like got a crush on a barista so she used the oldest trick in the book "learning" to get close to her.' But cause it's just a short drama, so we got no story from their family or you can say, anyone else. This just a story about 2 girls, how they start the acquaintanceship > friendship > courtship > being together.
One short drama that you can watch to fill you day...

annoying BGM
Watch this for Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge 2023. Turn out the story quite interesting, the acting not so bad, the costume etc also not so cheap. The only thing that annoy me to the point I almost drop this is the BGM. I don't know why, or it just pure my bad luck, but this time youku have that annoyed BGM where it should not be, or the disappearing voice altogether (almost like mango tv in YouTube if you know what I mean). The only help only the text still exist so we still understand what they talk about. Thankfully the story still quite interesting & it's only short one, so yeah I hang till the end.This drama tell a story 3 sister, Mo Shi Shi (SI), Mo Sha Sha (SA) & Mo Jing Jing (JJ) that Fall in love with the same guy, Shen Mu Han (MH), SA & JJ have the same mother while SI has different mother, but they all have the same father. The story begin when Si married to MH, but later on she died injustice & back to the past to the day of her wedding with MH. With the memory of the future, SI start to change her own fate & begin her love story with MH.
Shen Mu Han (MH) married with SI with one purpose, to take revenge to SI cause he think that SI kill SA (his love). But with time he learn that everything is not like what he think it is. MH start to know the real SI & of course fall in love with her, he also found out who he actually love in the first place.
With time rolling, SI & MH start to unravel many interesting past regarding SI's parent story. And finally SI get the revenge for her mother & light everything that evil try to hide. (I'm not gonna write it here, cause that the big spoiler & I'm not gonna ruin that much)
Except the annoying BGM for me this drama is like any other short series, feel quick & fast forward, where some story happen so d*mn fast.
Overall if you can ignore the BGM & disappearing voice, this story still quite bearable & good enough.

Watch this shortly after I watch Love of Replica, and due to my personal problem I even watch it together for some first few episode. Found the story quite similar, where the the same face girl take another girl place & later we find out that they are turn out to be twin. But with more episode we go through, turn out the 2 drama not really similar story.This drama tells a story about a girl name Nie Sang Yu (SY) that fall from the cliff & lost her memory, she is a wife of the marquis Ning, Ning Yu Xuan (YX). As the summary told us, SY is a woman with a reputation for treachery, scheming, and evil, but this new awake woman has completely different character from the description woman, she is cheerful & kind hearted woman. But because of the amnesia, everyone keep believe she is the same girl. And later on we find out that she is completely different woman, named Ji Man (JM) that turn out to be SY twin.
What I love about this drama:
+ The chemistry between Ding Yu Xi & Peng Xiao Ran. Although Ding Yu Xi wardrobe, hair style & character kinda remind me of his other character in The Romance of Tiger and Rose, especially the hair style.
+ The funny story of Gui Bai (GB) & Shui Niang Zi. Although also a little frustrated by stubbornness of GB, but yeah it's still kinda understandable.
+ The noble character of Yuan Lang. He is one man that never avoid his fault & finally that this very character that finally bring peace to JM & YX.
What I don't too like about this drama:
- The classic stupidity of the opponent, in here I mean Ling Jian Xing.
- The usual greedy of another family of the emperor, Prince Tan. Nothing much, just kinda boring with this plot.
- The too easy situation of ML. YX as usual ML, get all the trust from emperor & everything seem easy for him.
Overall this drama has nothing new or old to offer, but still quite good to watch.

This drama told story of almost impossible logic or science. If you read discussion below, there's someone talk about this story probably happen in the future timeline. Yeah that's kinda make sense, if we see the phone they use here, transparent phone in that case. But if really happen in the future timeline, why not just make it completely obvious with all the futuristic technology, or at least give more obvious sign that this happen in the future timeline. If yes, that's more make sense for the story in this drama to happen. So kinda patchy story, if I must say.
But the good about this drama:
+ The chemistry of Tsao Yu Ning & Yilia Yu never disappoint me. That's the advantage with pairing old couple together
+ This drama tell us that family is not only about blood relative, but more of connection. Sometime Asian drama talk about how important blood are, but lack the importance of the connection that build overtime. I'm not gonna spill here, cause it's a major spoiler. You definitely have to watch till the end to know what I mean.
+ Funny relationship between Tian Sui & her 2 men, Ding Bei Fan & Jiang Tian Cheng. But I really happy with who she choose in the end. It show that sometimes companionship is a lot more important than love at the first sight.
Overall even though feel this like push the boundary for the story to match with the whole picture, but this drama still provide us good chemistry between our lead, good friendship, action & good story to tell. So yeah I still say you can check this one out.

Just like Unique Lady
This story is like our dream, where we fall into the book & become character in the book & become FL/ML & falling in love with main character there. It's become lucky if the story is our own writing, so we know inside out about all the character & plot.This part/season of the drama is only the beginning where we get to know all the important character & plot. We see how FL, Yan Yi Yi/Consort Rong (YY), maneuver the story so she can save herself. In that maneuver, she create new characteristic for her character that make ML/emperor fall in love with her.
The reason I gave the title Just like Unique Lady, because this part of the story end like Unique Lady, which mid-part. Actually in my opinion the more fit to give the title of this drama not season, but part 1. And how much I really hope MDL not separate them, cause it suck to separate the review like this....
Overall all the story for this drama just the beginning in here & I quite excited to continue follow this journey

One perfect short drama
Sometimes pick the right short drama is like picking lottery, so many bad thing, but once you found a good one just like hit the jackpot. Haha...This short drama compare to other you can say one perfect little short drama. One short drama that not only offer you complete story (with beginning, middle & end), but also has very good meaningful story to tell. Although of course every drama still has it's minus point, but for me a short drama like this is just hit the perfect point. A little warning, I'm gonna spoiler a little, but still not a big spoiler so I don't think I'll gonna ruin your enjoyment for watching this drama. But if you don't want to spoiler at all, just skip reading my review then...
This drama tell a story about very unconfident woman named Chi Xiao Yu (XY), that often be doormat for the people in her office. The story begin when she found an app that can bring dishes that can change her characteristic, and the first order of course to give her the courage to change her as a doormat at her office. And from that the story go on... Unfortunately the effect from eat the dishes not long, only 15 min if I'm not mistaken & she has to order and eat it again. The interesting part is she's not only order that specific character, but also other character, like became queen of drama romance when she wants to date, etc....
What XY never expected, there's heavy price that she has to pay for the character that she's order. Like in real life, when something to easy, there're usually heavy price that we have to pay to gain it... Yeah in this case, her drawing talent, overtime her talent became worse and worse. And this the little MINUS of this drama, she never realize what make her talent became worse and worse, she just think because she's not practice it. So yeah she just continue practice her skill, while she's also stop ordering the special dishes. So yeah of course her skill become better and better again.
In the other hand turn out our ML, Su Yang (SY), also the customer of the character shop. But him in the other hand, only order 1 special dishes... Can you guess what...? Watch it for know it. Haha... And the heavy price he has to pay is his time & his appetite. He has no time for anything except his business & he can't eat anything except the special dishes he order from the character shop.
Overtime they bring us another price that they have to pay for eating the specialty dish. Our CP, XY & SY, think what the other like about themselves, the actual character of themselves or the character that they got from the character shop. That's also happen to ourselves in real life. When we put too many mask in our face for other to see, we will never gonna know what other person like more about us, the real us or just the mask that we put in our face, that sometimes we put to please other people.
What really interesting is the closure of this drama. Where both XY & SY finally stop ordering from the character shop & finally brave enough to show their real self to other person. Or to take quote from Wang Zhe, the owner of the character shop: "what people really need is the bravery to change themselves."
If you look for any short drama to watch. This is just one prefect short drama to be put into your watch list

Confusing plot + messed up translate
This actually kinda good quality short drama. The costume, make up, décor everything kinda not cheep & the cast acting bearable & quite good actually. But unfortunately MangoTV still can messed this up.As usual MangoTV translation kinda suck. Sometimes completely mistranslate, sometimes no translation including the missing voice (so no sound at all, only Hanzi or mandarin word in the screen). So yeah except you very influence with HanZi or at least you want to read the word completely, you will like me, not really completely understand the plot nor the word they said in here. Haha...
I don't know it's just me being not understand the plot or what. But I feel the plot or story sometimes like jumping from place to place. Like after Zhang Xiao Mei's (XM) sister gave birth suddenly the child is missing & there's goat. Or just like Zhou Qing Zhu (QZ) & XM run from Li Ye, suddenly there's 3 years gap & I don't really understand is QZ only dream or what, but they also say XM died 3 years ago. So d*mn confusing.
In the end I hang on till the last cause still hope the story can make more sense in the end & because this just short drama. If usual length drama, I'll gonna drop it....

Watch this originally for my 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge, but in the end letter (A) filled with another drama. Hohoho... But however this drama got me quite hooked so I've decided to continue watch it until the end...This drama actually quite good, but the problem is this drama has too many story on hand. I more prefer if they more focus on one story. I mean like they have the story about the travelling and also the problem with the painting and the drug trafficker that maybe make the story more appealing, but in my opinion make it become too many story to tell.
This drama really attrack us with the scenery of china. Along their way we can see how beautiful China scenery, food and also the culture. Make me really want to visit China again and travel by backpacking....
I also really like how they develop the feeling between the couple. Jin Xiao Tian (XT) & Li Xin Yue (XY) building their trust with each other. Although at first really frustated with how stupid Sheng Xia (SX) toward Chu Zhi Han (ZH), but I really glad how in the end ZH finally can see how 'stupid' SX to him & decided to reply SX feelings.
This drama also not lack with problem.
- How stupid XY when she decided to bring Chu Hong Fei to court to accuse him acknowledge her dad's painting. Hello... XY don't have any proof but yet XY already so hasty to uphold justice to her dad... No wonder she lose the first time right...
- The problem with Hu Zhi Hui (ZH) & Ouyang seem so weird at first, but yeah finally everything explained in the end. But still how fast actually ZH & Ouyang trust XT also one big question mark
- The stupid of Ouyang. Usually when you are a big boss in the drug member, you have someone you trust. But here Ouyang seems to have no one as his right hand man. Like ZH or the other man, he seems have no trust in them. So that's why no wonder in the end he meet his end like that.
- The police forces that's seem easy to corporate. Haha... This is maybe just me watch too many police drama. But usually every police force at every city like all in the hand of Feng captain. He just need to pick up the phone to tell what XT's problem & like that everyone seem eager to help XT.
Overall this one good drama to watch. Just prepare urself for the long ride. Haha...

beautiful youth
Long time heard about this drama, but once again I never expected this drama to be so good. Watching this drama make me really feel how good to be youth again, feeling the first love & just being together with my friend at school without have to think or worried about all the problem in life except for homework & test....I think this is the second time I really want to smack the back of ML head because he is so stupid but yet adorable. Second time I scream to my screen "GEMEZZZZ" when I see how our Male character react. Gemez if I translate to English the closest word to describe it maybe something that have meaning frustated & also adorable. Like how stupid yet adorable Song Zi Qi and Kong Sha Di, especially when they have a fight after high school, oh so stupid yet adorable. & how stupid is our ML, Zhou Si Yue (SY), when he reject our FL, Ding Xian (DX), yet not long after that he finally admit his feeling & start to pursue DX, see stupid yet adorable. Really like how DX like give him lesson & not agreed immediately.
What I really like about this drama:
+ How not shy SY cry a few time & yet no one teasing him as cry baby. Like when he sad, frustated, moved by his friend, happy and all that emotional feeling. We're not often see man cry in our screen, because society makes us think man can't cry or consider sissy. But the truth man just like us woman, they have tears & feeling, why can't they cry if they want to...?
+ The chemistry between our main lead. Even from high school time, a few time I almost scream frustated to my screen for them (SY & DX) to kiss...... DX & SY chemistry is not all over the top, but from their eyes we can feel how deep & pure their feeling for each other.
+ How open SY & DX communication after they're together. Like how DX want their relationship changing, so no childish grumpy or rage, instead she explained to SY how she wants their relationship change into...
+ How fierce actually SY toward DX at the beginning of their university days. I agree with how SY look his relationship with DX & how DX actually a little bit stupid. If DX can only follow SY's step, they will not gonna ever be equal partner. So even though SY's word actually a little bit harsh, but it's really for the good of DX. But actually how funny that SY almost did the same stupid mistake with DX when at the distribution of majors in his high school he actually chooses Art instead science just for the sake he can still together with DX. Ah youth and their heart and head....
+ How cute to see all the couple really wait until they graduate high school to start their relationship.
+ How natural all the couple relationship progress. Even though they basicly you can say childhood friend, except You Ke Ke & Jiang Chen of course. Oh how beautiful if we have one childhood friend that eventually become our life parner.
The minus I can't think much. Maybe the duration still a little bit long, but they definitely not stretch the plot or whatever. For notes I still watch this with 1.5 speed & for me that the ideal speed to watch this drama. Oh and 1 more, until the last episode I still don't get what they mean by 'our secret'. Can't connect the title with the story. Better if they come out with another title instead...
Overall this is really really good youth drama.
