My Nov 2024 Recommendation Challenge.
Fair warning up front. A lot comparison with the old version & of course, SPOILER ALERT!!!Meteor Garden... Long time wanna watch this but yet so reluctant cause I usually don't like to watch remake drama. But thanx to CharlieX I finally put this into my completed drama list. Really bring a lot of moment from my youth. Haha...
As usual, let's start with the story...
Story of an ordinary girl from ordinary family, Dong Shan Cai (SC) & one of the wealthiest heir, Dao Ming Si (DMS). SC met DMS in the school, where DMS & his gank (F4) become the king in their school. This time, the story start when DMS accidentally broke SC's phone & SC wanted DMS to pay for the damage. And as the story goes, many things happen between SC & DMS, that make them getting closer with each other.
Sorry just a little introduction of the story. Now what I like & don't & the comparison between the dramas...
What I like:
+ No more bullying!!! Yipee... They eliminate the most iconic yet toxic from this drama. Yeah bullying can't be consider cool anymore for kids these days...
+ F4 card where they usually mark it as the sign of the victim change into Joker card. Where people can challenge F4 for the card game.
+ Our F4 no longer useless rich brats, but they're smart & shining in their own ways.
+ DMS is way more childish. But for me it's more appropriate for him.
+ So many hesitant moment feel by SC for their relationship that's feel more like closer to my heart. I can understand all the doubt in SC's heart.
+ The friendship between the F4 gank are like better. I don't know how to explain this, but I just feel the actor themselves are having better relationship with each other
+ They made Xiao Zi (DMS's fiancé) a bigger role. Oh and I love it. This time this monkey girl not just some random rich girl in one of DMS's life.
+ The closer look into all other F4 member. Like they made the closure between Xi Men & Xiao You. They made Mei Zuo's love story too.
+ No one role of cast left behind. I mean like the random SC's classmate, Li Xin Hui & her friend, until the end still included. Or like Chen Qing He & Zhou Cai Na, where if I'm not mistaken, in the older version it's like they're disappear after SC get closer to F4 gank.
+ All the familiar face of our F4. One more the advantages of watching the old drama is seeing all now familiar face... Haha... Seeing them in one screen now it's like a dream... ^^
+ The ending. Oh I love the ending. This is the cause I up the score again. It feels like this version ending give really closures to our drama....
What I don't like:
- They like to take important scene or story line from other version & just attach it in this version. But at the same time they lost the original version meaning behind that story. Let me explain.
* SC's kick. OMG this it the most shocking yet useless moment this version had. I mean the old version is spontaneously did by SC cause she's pissed by DMS after one incident, it's just something she can't hold inside her anymore. But this version.... They made SC sleep on it, then the next day, she just randomly kick DMS. Oh come on... You already sleep on it, you can't be still that mad, or at least you shouldn't be kick him. But since this one of the most iconic scene from this drama, of course they can't erase it...
* The amnesia story. Oh I quite wait for this to comes out, cause it just show how important SC for DMS. But they made it into the moment of jokes play by DMS.
* The stranded in island from Japan's movie version. In that movie, it's all made up by DMS & SC's parent to prove a point for DMS & SC. Are they really ready to take the world just by themselves or not. But this one... They made it into the jokes play by Xiao Zi.
- A little 'Chinese propaganda'..? I mean in the end they indeed included how important for the youth to make their own way... It's like the gov want to put that thought in their youth's minds.
- All the place product advertisement. Oh My God (Said it like Janice from Friends said it. Haha). This is probably one of the most obvious place product advertisement. I usually not so aware of place product advertisement, but this drama it just so much in your face.... They even made the actor in the drama said the advertisement words... Haha...
Overall: I really l glad I can put this into my watch list. And In the end, they made it relevant for kids nowadays...

Quite curious about this when it's aired. Now it's finished let's watch this...Story about God, an extrovert man & Diew, an introvert man. Both of them attended the same university & next door neighbor in the dorm, but they never met, cause Diew is an introvert man, who don't like to go out and socialize with other person, except for his class.
Their story start when God move to Diew next door & had a party with his friends at his room until late at night. Can't take it anymore, Diew slip a note under God door to shut them up. Feeling guilty with his action, the next day God send some snack with note to Diew door, but been rejected by Diew. Curious about his next door neighbor, God keep sending Diew some snack of course alongside the note & Diew keep rejecting it. That's how they their relationship built up over time. From note to note until one day, God decided to break their norm & start talking to Diew from their balcony. And from that day on, their relationship start to steer into something more....
That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ God really a green light man. He ask for Diew permission for every action that involve Diew. And he really respect Diew boundary.
+ How Diew & God shape each other into a better person. Like how God bring Diew out of his shell.
+ The little introduction of Personality Test. INFT or INFJ, etc... Although is so quick & not really give a full view of the personality & easily been forgotten.
+ Teach everyone to respect each other boundary.
What I don't like. There're some nonsense that been forced...
1. Instead of just giving up, God keep really curious about his next door neighbor & start build up some feeling for him. You never meet a person, yet that person give you good feeling & make you fall for them. NONSENSE!!!
2. The way God is so jealous of Diew ex. Oh come on.... How long they been together, no more than a year, but God already pissed cause Diew won't tell him everything about his life.... God is a really green light from the very first ep, but his non sense action of jealousy really took the sharp steer into red light zone....
Overall that a little bit disappointment in the ending really effect my score. But still this is a good drama to be watched.

Watch a few clip on YouTube. The scene looks appetizing. Haha... Turn out Zhang Miao Yi. Let's watch...This drama is a few dramas that MDL summary not really quite on point with the real drama story. Let's discuss drama...
Baichuan City's is famous as a gourmet city & their top chef are controlled by Jiang's family. In the Baichuan City there're 7 knives that determine or mark their 7 top chef. That knives given to 7 families as their inheritance for their successor. That's the rule of Baichuan City chef for 200 years. But because of that's rule, the other chef or restaurant without the knives were suppressed. In order to have future, the young chef can challenge the top chef to snatch the knives from the top chef, and the loser will get out from the town.
So, that's the first mistake MDL made. It's not the Knife nation’s cooks, but only Baichuan City rule. Nothing in the drama indicate this is nation rule.
Now come the story of our ML, Jiang Jie (JJ) & FL, Li Nai (LN). JJ is a talented young chef, that's already challenge most of the knives owner. When the story start, he already took several of the knives & start to challenge the owner of the next knife. Which is the teacher of our FL. That's when their journey start to intertwine.
LN is a young apprentice chef, who has a special ability. Her nose is sharper than most people. She can smell the ingredient of something, no matter how soft the smell is. in short. LN's teacher lose to JJ & LN determine to take revenge and restore her teacher honor by taking the knife back from JJ. With that plan in mind, LN start to work at JJ's kitchen & try to infiltrate JJ’s inner circle. And just really realize how far her skill gap from JJ. But LN not give up & still sharpen her skill to face JJ one day.
That's the 2nd mistake. JJ not work in hotel’s kitchen. He own his own restaurant...
When the story rolling, we find out the reason why JJ try to collect all the knives from the families & what's his plan after collecting all that. And with that we also can see the dirty and the politic behind 7 families that rule Baichuan City. So how will the story evolve in the end...? Who will eventually win between JJ & LN...?
The last mistake. JJ never really secretly hungers for a showdown against an older chef whose skills are still legendary. But he has bigger goal...
That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ The interesting cooking battle
+ JJ is a good man. Even though he's first portray as cruel or cold when took all the knives from the previous owner, but yeah what he said is true. Nothing more fair than took the knife by cooking battle.
+ The interesting background story of JJ & LN.
What I don't like:
- The unnecessary separation between JJ & LN
- The not so clear of other character, like the stupid Xi Jiang Yue (JY). When JJ lose JY also lose his job. But instead stay together with JJ to facing the world, JY instead take a sharp turn & join JJ enemy cause he can't find other job & the enemy help him. That's the stupid things. 1st why why why JY not go to other city or country to search for the job. 2nd when JY turn his face from JJ, he said they're now have different goal, what's the goal is never discuss cause you know he's not the ML. Ugh....
Overall this quite good story to be watched.

Luo Yun Xi & Song Yi of course here I'm coming. Haha...Story about Yan Nan Xing (NX) & Jiang Xin Bai (XB). NX suffered from a strange disease, she will change into different person for 5-7 days on her period days... She can change into man, woman, child, adult or even elderly, nothing can be predict who will she change into. And that's all because when she's a little kid, she ingest a strange poison. And since that day, NX & her mom try to find the cure. Fortunately, her mom is the famous doctor & together both of them travel the world to find the cure for NX.
XB is a prince who suffer from face blindness due to his sickness in his childhood. And since this romance drama, in the end NX is the only person XB can recognize. Not because NX's face is the only face XB can see, but everything about her is just special for XB...
One thing lead to another, they journey intertwine with each other. And they find out their connection is much deeper than they expected at the beginning. And together they experience a lot of things together that make their feeling & relationship keep grow. And along side the journey they also find a few real friend that go through all the hardship together...
That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ The chemistry between Luo Yun Xi & Song Yi quite good.
+ I really like how XB & Jiang Suo Luo (SL) relationship evolve in time...
+ Tong Sai Er is a silly & funny girl.
+ The not so original but still quite fun to see. How FL can change her appearance.
+ NX & SL both strong girl. I really like even though SL fully aware how big a screw up she made, when she promise her married to a man (I forget his name), yet she's not try to bailed that promise, she took the full responsibility for it.
+ The funny last scene, where the 3 groom choose their 3 bride... ^^
What I don't like:
- The bullshit of the medical nonsense. Like plastic surgery they did on Shang Bie Li. Oh my goodness....
Overall story quite fun, but also not really leave so much trace in my brain after sometimes.

My Oct 2024 Recommendation Challenge
Long time this in my PTW, thanx to Red Riding Hood and Recommendation Challenge, I've finally watched this... Now let's talk drama...For those of you who are quite familiar with the story of the monkey king & the journey to the West who searched for the scripture. Yeah this taken that as inspiration but twisted with their version. The scripture is changed into saving the world. And they added the love story between the priest & monkey king.
Story about Jin Sun Mi (SM), a little girl who can see ghosts. One day she met Ma Wang (MW), MW asked SM to pick something for him, a fan. While SM went to pick the fan, SM accidentally set Son Oh Kong (SOK) free, with the exchange SOK will protect SM from anything whenever SM calls SOK name. But SOK just cheated & made SM never remember his name, so SM never can call him. And with all of that, their fate locked with each other.
Fast forward many years, SM is now a grown woman. And one day, SOK decides to show his face again in front of SM. And with that decision, the wheel of fate starts to roll again. Later we found out SM turns out as Sam Jang, a special human, who has fate as a human sacrifice to hold the burden to save mankind from their doom. How..? That's the problem that will be answered at the end of this drama.
Now who is SOK & MW…? SOK & MW are people from heaven that's being punished because of their crime. SOK is monkey 'deity’ & MW is bull devil. Both of them need to collect the point by banishing evil spirits, to be able to go back to heaven.
Later we find out, SOK is chosen to protect SM as Sam Jang as part of his punishment. But because SOK is so naughty and rebellious, heaven put handcuffs on him, and as the results, make SOK fall in love with SM. So throughout the drama, we will witness how SM & SOK love is tested over and over to prove is it real love or just because of the handcuffs…?
That's pretty much about the story without giving too much spoiler. Now let's talk about what I like & don't like.
What I like:
+ The relationship between SM & SOK. Even though sometimes so pain to see them tested their love over and over. But I really like the growth in their relationship.
+ The story of MW. Even though a little ashamed they are not too clear about it.
+ The zombie… Or rather the amazing Lee Se Young. This young actress played the character amazingly. Both as the zombie or later as Ah Sa Nyeo
+ The prove of how ur mouth can be sharper than any blade. I mean when PK hurting Ah Sa Nyeo over & over again with his word. The changing Ah Sa Nyeo suddenly decided to be back as bad woman because of it…
What I don’t like:
- More than 60 min each ep. Some ep I find quite boring. Especially the more towards the ending, many thing I don't give too much the sh*t and increase the speed I'm watching this drama. Haha…
Overall until the end, I still find it quite interesting.
Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
One thing that annoyed me the most….
The unnecessary sacrifice of Sam Jang. Ugh!!! I really don't understand why all the deities decided to go through with it even though they could stop it. Oh yeah in my opinion, they almost stopped it when they confronted Ah Sa Nyeo. But in the end they still let Ah Sa Nyeo go through with the plan…

+ Many funny moment
+ Good acting
What I don't like:

Hollywood movie adaptation with better ending
If the summary & title don't give u clue, I tell you once more... This is the remake of the American film “Bride Wars” [2009]Story not so much different. But with a little twist in the end & also through out their wedding preparation journey.
He Jing and Ma Li is best friend for 20 years. Pressure by their family, they decided to propose to their long time boyfriend, instead just waiting around for them to do the proposal. But their friendship of many years is put to the test when they both end up scheduling their wedding on the same day. They refuse to adjust and make plans to sabotage each other's weddings.
And that pretty much what the same with the original Hollywood movie. Now what I like & don't.
What I like:
+ The ending of this movie. From the journey of their wedding preparation, I already can guess what will the end of both movies, Hollywood & China. That's why I'm quite confuse of how different it is from the original version. If you want to know just watch it urself or u can DM me. That's why I really like the ending of this movie...
What I don't like:
- Although it's quite different between both movies, Hollywood & China. But I find the journey of this one, quite boring. That's why I can only give this 7,5 the tops.
Overall I quite like the twist this movie gives us...
Below I'll write who as Emma (Anne Hathaway) & Olivia (Kate Hudson). But that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
For you who want to know, He Jing is Emma (Anne Hathaway) & Ma Li is Olivia (Kate Hudson)

Angel Zhao & Zhang Ling He. Of course here I come…Story about Li Rong (LR) and Pei Wen Xuan (WX). Li Rong, an eldest princess, married Pei Wen Xuan, low class minister, to avoid disaster. Why? Because at that time, the kingdom was ‘ruled’ by the royal families. Royal families had money & power to take over the kingdom, at that time they're not really doing much to threaten the kingdom, however the emperor was still afraid of their influence on the kingdom.
So, the understanding LR chose WX to make peace with her father, the emperor. And WX himself, took the opportunity of him being the princess consort to gain advantage in politics.
That's the introduction to the married life of LR & WX that we know at the beginning. Later we'll find out that really everything is not like what it seems at first.
MDL stated that: “Later on, LR lost herself in the midst of wine, song and dance. As for WX, he had a home yet did not bother coming home because he already had someone in his heart…” That's when all the summary in MDL in my opinion is wrong…
We never get a glimpse of LR losing herself in the midst of wine, song and dance. But rather we start this drama with LR already in power at the edge of her life. But yeah LR & WX didn't have slightest affection for each other. Instead they are enemies with opposite sides in politics.
So yeah, in the end LR & WX indeed died under each other’s schemes. And when they woke up, they had actually returned to the year when they were 18 years old, returning to the most difficult time in their lives. Where they need to start all over once again…
So, how will the story progress…? What will LR & WX choose…? Will LR & WX still choose the same choice with their previous life…?
That’s pretty much the story without giving too much spoiler. Now what I like and don’t.
What I like:
+ Angel Zhao is amazing… She grew a lot with her acting & her choice of drama. Yeah much like JulesL wrote, I also feel she’s lacking something. LR as a young princess is played beautifully by Angel Zhao, but when she needs to be shown LR as a proud, powerful & cold woman… that’s when I feel she lacks. I don’t know how to describe it better…
+ We have no ordinary FL, much like JulesL wrote: “Li Rong was no Mary Sue; she was not your usual FL who was perfect and good, and her only fault was trusting and loving the wrong people. LR also was unlike the stereotypical strong female lead. She had plenty of flaws but also had her own strengths.” And that’s just perfect to summarize our FL.
+ The relationship between LR & WX. This is also when MDL’s summary is wrong: “So Pei Wen Xuan went to look for Li Rong. To be married again but with divorce in mind.” I don’t know about the book, but what I get from the drama itself, the one that had divorce in mind is LR not WX. And I really like how LR & WX manage the relationship, from untrusting each other till slowly trusting each other.
+ We have multiple people who come back from the future after their death. We have FL, ML & the most interesting one, the villain himself...
+ We have no ordinary villain, first this is the first time any villain also comes back from the future. Second, you can’t say he’s evil, but that doesn’t mean he’s a good man either. Unlike LR & WX who take the chance to change the future for a better one, he just does everything to prevent it, even by making himself an evil one. Unfortunately, I can’t really tell you what without giving too much spoiler. Just watch it so you know yourself.
+ We get the best illustration of what will come when they are pushed till the edge of despair. Like what happened with the original future of Li Chuan. That’s just such a pity what happened to him at that time…
What I don’t like:
- A little confused about the original future conflict. That’s the one that I don’t really give a f*ck.
- Much like JulesL wrote, I also somewhat feel all the characters lack something. Like Su Rong Qing (RQ) or LR. But unlike JulesL, I feel even a more veteran actor played RQ, I still feel a little to no care about RQ feelings…. It’s really hard to describe what I mean. But this is one of the reasons I lowered the score for this drama.
Overall: this is quite entertaining, enough to make me watch it nonstop

BL...???
I forget how do I stumble on this one... But here I am finished watch this...Story about 2 young man, Aki & Haru. They are roommate that start their university days... And this is the story of their boring daily life... Haha... Even at some point, I even question did Aki really university student. Cause I never really see him in the class, just Haru that attending classes....
For me this not a BL. Aki & Haru more like a roommate, tops is best friend than boyfriends.
I like how they explained to us how to make the dish... The dish is make me drooling. But except that, this one boring everyday movie...
If you want to just be relax & have background sound, this movie is for you...

My Aug 2024 recommendation challenge
Watch this for my Aug 2024 recommendation challenge by 2.857e-7. For this year's challenge, this is the hardest to watch so far… Not really my cup of tea, if not for the challenge, I already dropped this one from the first 5 episodes.I quite enjoy the characters' interaction, the human relationship, the intrigue & bickering between each character. That's human interaction overall that makes me hang till the end... But I have zero interest in the business nor do I understand it and even worse nor do I care about it at all...
Enough rampage. Let’s discuss drama…
Story about Su Xiao (SX), a woman who works in a developer company, she works as a cost engineer. The story started from the moment SX lay off by her previous company. There’s a problem in a project in SX previous company, they made SX as the black sheep & got kicked out. Because of that, she got a bad reputation in the industry & got banned by the industry.
Desperate to search for another job, nor does she want to give up the industry, she accepted the offer from Chen Si Min (SM) who’s been asked by SX ex-boyfriend to help her. At first, she doesn’t know what to do at her job and everyone keeps underestimating her. But little by little she proves her value & gains trust from her boss, Wang Yang (WY).
SX hard work really pays off when the big boss in her company, Zhao Xian Kun (XK), sees the value in her & pulls her to the main company. But that just means the bigger problem lurking in… Big company means big problems. So, how will in the end SX manage to go through with all the mess the main company waits for her…?
Ok… That’s pretty much about the story. Now let’s talk about what I like and don’t.
What I like:
+ The human relationship is really interesting. Here we can see how easy it is to trample someone or raise them to the top. We got to see the smart FL, the calculative ML, the interesting CEO. How they manage to solve the problem not only by ABC, but by many other factors, especially human relationship.
+ See how SX manage to handle the sh*t that life threw at her…
What I don’t:
- But I have zero interest in the business nor do I understand it and even worse nor do I care about it at all…
- The shock of the ending, I talk about Wu Hong Mei. I don’t understand this girl at all… It’s like throughout the entire drama she’s one person, doormat if you put the label, and at the end she’s suddenly changed…??? What the heck!!! And above all SX not even wonder about the change in her best friend. It's so obvious & she’s waited for so damn long for her friend to change into this new woman…
- I don’t understand the title. Nothing connected with the ideal city, nor they talk about building a new city… Haha…
Overall if you enjoy the complicated business drama, this is for you. If not, just look for another drama….

Part 2
Ok. Let's continue the journey in this part.This part talks more about He Lian Xuan (LX) journey in his father's (the emperor) eye. How he gets more and more of his father's trust. And how LX's mend his relationship and trust to Leng Li.
That's pretty much the story. Now let's talk about the drop rate I gave between 2 parts… But that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!
==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
All the good things end with season / part 1. Ugh… this part feels like they push the fast button all through the way. Stories become disconnected from each other, the character action becomes so weird it's like out of the hinge….
This 2nd part makes me kinda regret watching the drama all the way…

Usually i'm not too fond of robot, alien or zombie story. But this part of VBL series & since I've already seen the other, i just thought to myself, 'Well... Let's complete the series then... ' so here i am finished watching this...Story about Chu Yi Ping (YP) & a robot, or they said AI, name Ever 9. YP is a professor in a university, he is very Introvert person. One day, he dislocated his hand in an accident at school, his uncle gives him Ever 9 as a caretaker, an experimental intelligent robot that his company is secretly testing.
Amaze by how close Ever 9 to human being, the reluctant YP welcome Ever 9 to his house & his life. With the warm & attentive Ever 9, YP finally begin open his heart for Ever 9.
When the story go on, we see not only YP that open his heart, but Ever 9 also think YP more than his master. YP & Ever 9 become more and more important for each other. One day Ever 9 suddenly broken. What will happen to YP...? Can Ever 9 be fixed?
That's overall the story.
Even though a little bit scary (imagine one day AI can be that close to human) but I'm also glad to imagine that they (AI) can have human heart & warmth.
I don’t too like how YP that's easy to open his heart for Ever 9. Don't understand what's so special about him. Or i take what YP's uncle more or less said: 'Is it because Ever 9 not human...?'
Overall this quite interesting story to watch...
