Pretty boring
This show was slow and pretty boring and the end was not satisfying we didnt get to see a proposal for one couple and not even a single kiss for the other couple. I would rate this 5/10 only watch if you dont have anything else to watch and are bored. The show was almost more boring than real life. Also they killed the geandma in the last 30 minutes just to add a little something that made you cry. Very unneccesary.Was this review helpful to you?
Toxic love story
I just finished watching it and I was going to drop it But I forced myself to watch it to the end to see if they would have a happy ever after while I am glad that they lived happily ever after there was not much growth development in their characters and he was extremely toxic throughout the whole relationship and extremely secretive. And she followed him around like a lost puppy. She should have stayed with that painter, who really cared about her and treated her well. But a lot of time, women go for toxic men. I guess Maturity is realizing that this was a toxic relationship. After he got out of jail and she met him again, she should have moved on with her life. But she got wrapped up again with him. He always gave the absolute minimum to her and even pushed her away and said so many hurtful things that were unforgivable, but she still followed him around like a lost puppy. He's an example of just giving the minimum as a partner. She was too young to know that there was so much more to being in love, but oh well, also, the story line was extremely boring if I'm being honest and I had to fast forward through a lot of parts.I gave it a five out of ten and I definitely would not be watched or recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing storyline!!
This show is really amazing. It had me from the first episode. The only thing I didn't like about the show so far as that she took so long to tell him the truth about why she couldn't be with him and I felt sad every time he got rejected but finally they are together and had a hapoy ending so I'm happy and this is one of the best shows I have watched this year and I really watch a lot of dramas. I love liu yuning and so I watch everything he's in. I didn't like prisoner of beauty, to be honest, but this one really makes up for it. I would definitely recommend everyone to watch it!Was this review helpful to you?
Barely watchable. very cringe
This show was barely watchable. There were so many times I wanted to drop it even just from the beginning, like in the first or second episode they already held hands and so many cringe things happened on the show like about her having her period and him taking care of her and allowing her to jump with her legs around him and him carry her around like that when they barely knew each other. Come on this would NEVER HAPPEN. then he was talking about marrying her when they had only dated for like a week. AndEverything just progressed so fast on this show.And she was so immature like a little baby.But yet that was attractive to him I guess and he wanted to marry her.She seemed like she was 18 years old or something and had the same pouty facial expression in every single scene. There was absolutely NO TALENT from this female lead.The casting was really weird and the show was so cringe like sometimes I had to pause the show because the cringe was so hard that it was physically uncomfortable. 5/10 storyline and acting. I only watched for xu kai and his performance was not even good.i had high expectations because of his amazing he was in arsenal military academy...oh well.

I ended up dropping it
I see that this show has almost 8 star rating from the users. I really don't know how because it was incredibly boring and I ended up dropping it after like 9 or 10 episodes. Literally nothing was happening. I feel like they made the first episode pretty interesting and spicy so you would keep watching, but then literally nothing happened. And there were many unlikable annoying characters that I would just fast forward their parts.So yeah I would definitely not recommend this showWas this review helpful to you?
Best historical drama of the year
This show is amazing im like 3/4 done with it. With most shows i have to fast forward useless plots and storylines but i never have to fast forward this show. Theres action on every episode and romance too. They had the typical misunderstanding that always happens in cdramas but they didnt draw it out like on most shows and waste several episodes. So i was happy for that! Love how strong female character is! Many dramas have them start off strong and capable then somehow always get captured and hurt later on but shes stayed consistently strong! This writer is on point! As long as neither lead dies at the end ill keep this a 10/10 review!Was this review helpful to you?
Not very memorable
I finished this a few weeks ago and cant really remember much about it because i watch a lot of dramas but if it was really good i would remember so it was just average i would say. Its storyline was too similiar to another show i was watching with the same male lead called "kill me love me" while i do like this male actor there wasnt enough to keep me interested in the show. It started off pretty good then got boring and repetitive of other dramas, I guess i give it a 6.5 outta 10 . Theres always the trope about being poisoned and having to be a shady spy gor the cure. Like come up with something else writers.lolWas this review helpful to you?
Ridiculous plot
No chemistry between leads, the dude is poisoned and they didn't bother looking for a cure even though they know he will die from ot they keep investigating a stupid case instead of curing him first. Just too unbelievable. She believes he killed her dad with no evidence at all....then she accidentally poisons him which made no sense as he was already locked up...Then the two leads are married and hes even dying but yet they dont kiss or ever be physically intimate? YEA RIGHT they would be trying to spend as much time together as possible. The whole show is spent wasting time instead of looking for a cure. Man im on episode 17 and i think im gonna drop it. We havent even gotten a single kiss from a dying man and the love of his life and nothing makes sense...they jist keep adding a bunch of deaths and more and more layers for the supposed "case" idk if ive just watched too many dramas at this point that i cant even be bothered unless its like a 7+ star show. And this is a 5 so far. Not even worth my time.Was this review helpful to you?
Its alright,nothing special
It was alright but a little slow. Im used to wuxia dramas with alot of martial arts and sword fighting and stuff so this ones a bit slow but I love Liu Yuning so ill watch the whole thing. The beggining and the ending episodes were great but the middle episodes were pretty slow. Also not to be mean but the female lead,while her acting is fine, her voice is so annoying, she talks like a baby and is so quiet even when shes mad and stuff its unrealistic,i wish she would talk in a normal voice not that baby voice. I personally would not add to me rewatch list,but hey i guess everything cant be a masterpiece. I give it a 7 out of 10 and thats a bit generous.Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful beyond words
There are no words to describe this drama. It was beautiful from start to end and showed that life isnt a fairytale,but they did get their happily ever after. The actors were amazing and head great chemistry. I will most definately rewatxh in the future and i dont really re-watch shows. This show made me cry of happiness and fullfilled what a love story should really be like. Now if only real life could be like the way he loved her :(Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing
I really loved this show. I've actually watched 2 times in a short period of time. The first few episodes were extremely cringe worthy with Lusi trying to act like a teenager. But actually the way that she was acting seemed more like a fifth grader or something. It was just really weird, but once you get to episode 8, where she's in college, it starts getting more. Interesting and less cringy and then it becomes a beautiful love story. Her voice in this show is reallt babyish and annoying though i will say that. Ive watched her in many other shows and i dont remember her talking like that.Was this review helpful to you?
Realistic show
I liked this show because it's not your average Happy-go-lucky k drama. I really connected with the 2 leads and how they had a bad life and were unlucky and stuff and on top of that, he turns out to have a terminal medical condition that causes him to die young now that is real life. There's usually not a happy ending in real life. Yes, I did cry a lot, but in its own way these types of shows are very beautiful. I would suggest everyone to watch it. The male lead has a beautiful smile and really lights up the screen.Was this review helpful to you?
Didnt like female lead
This show was great and the story line was great but the female lead was such a MISS. She was supposedly replacing the identity of a girl who was around 18 years old or so and yet somehow no one noticed she looked like she was in her THIRTIES??? how is that even possible? I watched for Wang Xing Yue and hes the only reason i kept watching. All of his scenes were captivating and although hes not strikingly handsome, the way he talks and his facial expressions give him a 10/10 his acting was off the charts! When he would say her name it was breathtaking! But she was just not a good fit for this role especially since they were trying to say she was so gorgeous even more beautiful than her younger sister who actually WAS gorgeous. Idk if the director was blind or what but nothing about her casting made sense. They needed to have chosen a 10 year younger actress to play this role. This and maybe one other drama ive watched have me so puzzled about why they chose the lead. Typically the casting is perfect on these dramas so i dont know where this went wrong. That was my main complaint about this show.Was this review helpful to you?
Good but not good enough
I watched for xu kai. He played this character so well and was so handsome but the female lead who plays a dude is like half the size of everyone else in the military and supposedly no one notices its a girl??? Come on man 🤣 also they had many useless side stories in this show and every other scene was filled with japanese dressed in all black getting shot. I mean is there just an unlimited amount of them in the area? And somehow even though they always get killed,the next time they dont send more to make sure they win the fight they still just send a handful of them 🤣 and having everyone fall in love with the female lead is so unrealistic,to be honest she looked better as a dude yet they had like 4 guys fall in love with her 🤣🤣🤣 HAHAHA anyway i really loved xu kai in this and the supporting male lead was cool too but if i ever hear this chick say "may-sure" one more time in that voice i will self destruct 🤣🤣Was this review helpful to you?
Its good but should have been fewer episodes
This show is a great show to get you started and hooked on chinese dramas, thats what happened for me. Its captivating and i love the characters and stories but there were some annoying points like the fact that the female lead starts off unstoppable and amazing then suddenly is always getting captured and weak. Not only that but there are tons of side stories that if i watch a second time i will fast forward through they honestly could have done this show with 10 less episodes. But i still give it an 8/10Was this review helpful to you?
