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. Male actor carried the show, female was beautiful but was very cringe and awkward to watch on some scenes but it could have been the writers vision and he told her to act like that idk. I will most definately rewatch in the future though 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?
horrible, even for a mini drama
man this show was just horrendous...The first, maybe 7 episodes were okay, intriguing even, but they really drug out the divorce thing until even the last episode...she made no sense why she wanted to divorce him when they were so in love. like nothing about the show made sense. I watch these mini dramas where a lot of stuff doesnt make sense but this was too much. it was just horrible writing. its something that honestly never should have been released. someone should have laughed at the script and ripped it up. and the fact he was forcing her to make out and stuff when he knew she was married(although he didn't know she wasn't really married to that guy) but he THOUGHT she was and he kept saying "I know u like me so just divorce him and choose me". YUCK so hes a cheater. guys never get with someone like that it just shows they will cheat on you too. I know its just a show but I dont watch cheating stuff because its just too wrong and disgusting. anyway even putting that aside it was just a joke of a show. I had to fast forward so many parts that were just way too cringe.total waste of my night.Was this review helpful to you?

Best kdrama ive seen in a long time
So I honestly have not seen a good k drama in a while. I saw that this one came out a couple years back and the trailer looked interesting so I gave it a shot, and I'm so glad that I did, I binged the whole show in 3 days. I was hooked from the first episode. The storyline and the plot were amazing. I loved how you never really knew if the suspect was who you suspected or not. And I'm glad it turned out to be someone that we really did not expect in the end. I was so happy to see that they changed the future. And I just really thought that was so beautiful. I would definitely rewatch again. The only thing I didn't like about the show and why I took one star off was because the male lead just seemed way too old for the part he was supposed to be early 30s, I believe, and he looked like he was 40 or mid, 40s almost, and I guess I'm really used to dramas where there's a huge height difference, and the fact that they were the same height and he was old was just really not up my alley.. like I kept wishing he was younger and taller because I could not see them in a romantic way because he seemed to be 15 or 20 years older than her and it was just weird, but I also didn't like the fact that there was not even one single kiss in the whole show. I'm all for slow burn, but there should at least be one kiss in the show. So I also didn't like that , and another thing that was kind of annoying was when they were trying to convince the grandpa and the cop that they were from the future , why didn't they just show their cell phones and the laptop that he had brought in the beginning like that literally made no sense....🤣 but other than those 2 things it was the perfect show!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?
Beyond boring
This show is beyond boring. Female lead looks like shes 13 years older than male lead and has no chemistry with him at all. male lead is carying the whole show, side plots are boring so I'm fast forwarding 50%, of each episode. The FL starts off alright but gets boring after like 8 episodes always having the same shocked, confused look on her face in every scene, and never admitting her feelings, she acts like ML is her brother and its so wrong to be with him. It's not that deep. I literally frown evey time she comes on Screen now because she always acts the same in every scene and i can't stand it. I just want to see my man happy when she finally agrees to be with him but once that happens I'm dropping. Not to mention the brother of the FL has the same problem as her about loving someone but not admitting it and torturing himself not allowing himself to be with her...Was this review helpful to you?
Going ok, nothing special
This is another drama. I might end up dropping. It's OK, nothing special is happening. It's kind of just following a predictable storyline that's been done over and over, but since only one episode comes out a week I'll probably keep watching the one episode. If I drop it ill updated here. This is more like a filler show to watch when you have no other hits airing or cant find anything amazing to watch that night lolWas this review helpful to you?

A breath of fresh air
I just finished watching the 10th episode. I have to say that this show is honestly a breath of fresh air. I feel like most Chinese historical dramas these days always focus on the revenge plot line or just a super serious plot, and while I do like those storylines as well, it does get old. For instance, the drama that is currently airing alongside this one is called Jade wind. And that one seems to follow along the same type of plot that we have just seen over and over so I'm not really very into that show much even though I do love the actors. However, this show is very fresh and fun. I know the whole (falling into the book)has been done before, but somehow this is being done in a fresh way and I love how the leads were together from literally the first episode and we didn't have to build up to it. There's just a mutual trust between them which I think is beautiful. It's not too heavy and depressing like a lot of the Chinese dramas these days. There's humor in there. It's kept very light-hearted, most of the time, and I don't know there's just something about it that is really fresh. Not to mention the costumes are beautiful.Especially the female leads costumes.They are 10 out of 10 for me.You can tell this was a big budget drama and I am loving it. The male lead I have seen in many other dramas and always loved him. But I really think that after my journey to you, this is his next best performance. I love how he is basically playing 2 characters. The serious king and then the goofy partner of the female lead, he switches up so well and I love that. Yeah, I just really have nothing bad to say about this drama at all. Every episode has me hooked and Honestly, it's rare for me to feel happy when watching a Chinese drama because like I said, usually they are more revenge plot based, so I'm like so invested in the characters getting their revenge and killing the bad guys, etc. So I wouldn't say that I feel happy while watching those dramas while I do love them, but with this one i feel happy while watching and then waiting for the next episode. The last show that mademe feel like that was "yummy yummy yummy" that was my comfort drama while it aired lol But yeah , this drama just feels lighthearted, fun and fresh , and I can already tell this will be one of my top favorite dramas of all time. 😊Was this review helpful to you?
It was really good
I really liked this show. I love BJT so i try to support his dramas. The story line was very cool and his acting was great. The lead actress was okay too. I personally didnt like that they tried to add the humor on this show,like how he was joking with the murderer and trying to make light of the situation when he already knew the dude was a killer. I also personally would have liked to have swwn mire action and fighting scenes as thats the kind of show i thought it was going to be. Also there were just a few parts that didnt seem to add up,like how he survived that cardiac arrest at the end and how his girl made the cure so fast. But i would still rate the show a 9/10 im really glad they did only 16 episodes i think more chinese dramas should do this. When they have 30-40 episodes alot of the time they just drag the story and add too many filler parts and i jist find myself fast forwarding the extra bits.Was this review helpful to you?
One of my all time favorites
This show had me hooked from start to finish. Most dramas that are 40 episodes always have filler side plots and characters that I'm not really interested in and I end up fast-forwarding a lot of parts of the show, but I can honestly say that with this show I didn't have to fast forward anything and there were no boring plots,all the characters were interesting and the twists just kept me engaged until the very end. I only took off half a star because the love story aspect of the show did not really satisfy me, they had only one kiss in the whole show and it just wasnt giving "im so in love". I also took off half a star for the ending as well, because it just didn't seem that happy... I wish they had showed their life in the future, maybe getting married or something like that.I just felt like there wasn't enough happiness at the end of the show, they didnt even say goodbye to some of their friends which made NO SENSE. Another thing i didnt like was that he never learned ANY martial arts during those 10 years knowing he was planning a very dangerous revenge?? Come on lol. but other than that I rated it 9 stars.Was this review helpful to you?
I enjoyed it
Usually i get hooked on a show from the first episode but the opposite happened here. The first epiosde was cheesy and i hated the fake forests,the way too bright red blood, the female lead killing like a machine all with her red cloak blowing in the breeze,the bath scene where the male lead is shirtless and super skinny but supposed to look hot 🤣 i was about to drop it but had nothing else to watch. Then by episode 3 i got hooked. The storyline was actually pretty good and i would say it progressively got better throughout the show. The male lead i had already known from hidden love and although i didnt like him in this role at first,i got used to it. I did like the female lead she was more believable as a female general than many of the other shows i have seen (like LOFG)Of course there were lame parts of the show like how the leads survive everything. The male lead got stabbed 3 times, (according to his stomach) choked,AND buried alive...yet somehow survived 🤣 but of course he got amnesia just like the female lead had gotten 🤣 why are these chinese dramas obsessed with amnesia AND falling from cliffs yet surviving 🤣 anyway i really liked how the crazy emperor fell in love with male leads sister that was a nice touch and i felt so sorry when he died but someone had to be sacrificed for the leads happy ending lol. Not sure i would REwatch but its deff worth a watch!Was this review helpful to you?

Not captivating enough for me
Dont bother commenting on my review this is just my opinion which we are all entitiled to. As my title says it just is not captivating me enough. I dont feel any connection to any of the characters,nor care if anyone dies at this point. I love bailu and also like the ML from other shows ive seen him in but he takes a back seat to her in this show and his persona is just to calm and gentle. He plays a better character on the double. His character is just too boring and shes just the character weve seen over and over,the self righteous girl who always puts other before herself and would die to protect others etc. Nothing about the storyline is original. Im also watching the how dare you drama and i am really loving that one because even though that (falling into the story) trope has been done before,chang lei's character is a masterpiece and there is humor,seriousness,romance,scheming etc its kind of an all in one and its really fresh and captivating. This will just be one of those dramas i dont remember if i watched or not 2 years from now. So i just dropped it because i kinda feel like im wasting my time with it and i dont get that excited feeling when i press play,ive just been watching when the other shows im watching are all caught up and i have nothing else to watch. If you love it good for you,this is just my opinion.Was this review helpful to you?
