This is a great coming of age drama. Although the drama could do without some clichés, the actors did a very good job delivering their characters. This drama depicts the characters and their struggles as they go from teenagers into adulthood without overly dramatic events and backstabbing issues. The individuals are connected by wonderful friendship among all the characters, with really good chemistry. The leading couple’s relationship takes time to develop, but the leading couple has good chemistry and the leading male carries the drama well. There are great moments among the leading couple, but there are some moments that the leading lady didn’t seem to be connected with her character, but overall, she did fine. The drama is entertaining. Enjoy it!

This drama is a good remake of the Korean version “My Girl (2005)”. Although there are some minor adaptations to the Thai version, the core story remains the same. Esther Supreeleela as Linin did very well and Pae Arak Amornsupasiri as Purith did very well portraying their character and, even though there romantic scenes could have been done better; their playful chemistry was really good. They also did a great job on their dramatic scenes. The roll of the antagonist was written well but her acting was lacking. Varot Makaduangkeo as Mark did very well on his portrayal of second male lead. The rest of the cast provided also a good dose of entertainment without being too silly or overly dramatic. Enjoy it!

This is a good comedy with a dose of cute romance. The leading couple has good chemistry for some adorable moments but their romantic scenes could’ve been more realistic for a romance that developed very slowly. The naiveté about their relationship was dragged for too long and the ending, although satisfactory, felt rushed. The OST is equally cute setting the tone for the simpleness and liveliness of the plot. The actors did very well bringing their characters to life under the inability of the writer to keep the comedy but to also give depth to the plot. Overall, this drama is entertaining, especially if the viewer is looking for something cute to watch. Enjoy it!

This review is for both seasons together:
This is a very entertaining drama. It is good that Season 1 and 2 are out since it offers a continuation that will truly bring all kind of emotions out. This drama has a really cute and light romance with comedic parts and some heart tugging scenes. Although it is not a “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” production, the drama offers enough entertaining and has a great feel. Even though the romantic scenes weren't anything special, the two main leads had really good chemistry, were fun to watch, and were true to each other. Luo Fei Fei, Bei Tang Yi, Bei Tang Tang, Xie Yan Ran, Chu Shang Nan, and Bai Wu Chen held this drama together and their interactions were enhanced by a great display of emotions and sincerity toward each other. The OST harmonizes very well with the corresponding scenes improving its qualities. The fantasy time travel theme paired with the zodiac element and its unique powers made for a well developed plot throughout the series shaping this drama into an engaging and enjoyable story to watch. Enjoy it!

This is an action packed drama with heartfelt emotions. The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and there was a great chemistry among the main and supporting characters. This drama also dealt with the wide spread problem of drug dealers and corruption within the legal system which created the background for the showmanship of martial arts disciplines and techniques of dance troupes. Although the plot was charged with a lot of action, there is comedy, soulful emotions, moral and cultural teachings, and a bit of romance. There are viewers that might have been expecting more and better, but, in spite of some faults, it is quite entertaining. Enjoy it!

This is a nice period drama with GREAT antagonists and well choreographed action scenes. The drama could’ve been shorter but, overall, as long as you don’t expect a great romance, the drama is entertaining. Although the drama is titled “Love a Lifetime”, the leading couple has no chemistry. Also, the leading lady looses trust in her beloved too easily and her facial expressions don’t show the intensity of her love for the male lead. The OST is nice and the side stories are entertaining also, but there are too emotional inconsistencies among the leading couple (mostly from female lead) to create an affectionate crescendo.

Wan Li Gao Kong Meng Yu Ni(2025) is a much better version miniseries of the aviation captain Li Fu Zheng and air traffic controller Meng Li Yue with Li Bo Yan (as Li Fu Zheng) and Pan Xin Yi (as Meng Li Yue) along with “San Wan Ying Chi De An Lian(2024)” version(SWYCDAL). The cast did a good job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has great chemistry. On this version, the lead couple doesn’t act immature and the female lead character is as good as the male lead character. The antagonist is still crazy on this version and there are the usual antics but one less degree than in SWYCDAL’s drama. Overall, this drama is well done and the plot has a natural flow that gives essence to the lead couple’s relationship and it is quite entertaining, enjoy it!
In the meantime, this drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: “Aloof captain who is not interested in any woman, but presses me for a kiss every night” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0pIY84b1g4) or “Captain, He's Fallen in Love | Li Baiyan & Pan Xinyi” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4G6Qpswj5k)

Love Scenery (2024) is a very good romance miniseries with a cast that did very well bringing their characters to life. The drama has an evil antagonist and an opportunist that are creating chaos on the leads’ life but everything gets resolve quickly and nothing shakes the leading couple’s resolve to be together. The male lea, Wang Nan as Huo Yu Xuan, and the female lead, Zuo Yi as Song Shi Ning, have a great playful and romantic chemistry. Although the ending is playful between the leading couple, it has passed five years and they have a family together. There’s an unnecessary twist at the end that, unless there’s a second season, it’s worthless. Putting that aside, the drama is quite entertaining, enjoy it!

Fu Xian Sheng Bie Zhui Le, Da Xiao Jie Shi Jia De (2024) is a nice revenge plot drama with Zuo Yi as Si Nian and Ma Xiao Yu as Fu Jing Yan. The cast did a good job bringing their characters to life with the exception of a couple of actors in the supporting cast. The revenge plot is as cruel and satisfying as the wrong that was inflicted to the Si Nian. In this drama, both leading characters are smart, manipulative, and determined in reaching their goals while fortuitously falling in love and becoming a couple that share mutual understanding, respect, and a steadfast love. The leading couple has great chemistry and both approach each other with love and sensuality. Although the drama is not perfect and subtitles are not great, it is very entertaining. Enjoy it!

A Journey to Love is one of the best wuxia productions that, even if the screenwriter, producer, and director turned delusional in the last eight minutes of the grandiose last episode, it does not take away from the fact that it is one of the best period legend dramas in matters of cinematography, costumes, writing, and a strong, smart, and passionate cast that has one of the best written dynamics in complex human interactions. This drama is fast paced and due to the fact that it has multiple leading characters, there’s never a dull moment. The audience is pulled into the plot and gets totally invested in the main characters and some great supporting characters as well. Although the plot deals with revenge and justice seeking themes, the story is really a beautiful and bittersweet tale about friendship, loyalty, romance, and the fine line between what is right or wrong in order to achieve justice. The main cast did an excellent job bringing their complex and ambivalent characters into life. And lets talk a bit about the extraordinary leading couple; the strong, smart, stiff, and frigid female assassin Ren Ru Yi / Ren Xin (played by Liu Shi Shi) an the intelligent, enigmatic, and resolute strategist Ning Yuan Zhou (played by Liu Yu Ning) which met by coincidence and found themselves working together for mutual benefits and, in the process of leading Wu's State's escort delegation to save the King of Wu who has been taken hostage by the State of An, formed a partnership based on mutual respect and understanding that leads to a steadfast and beautiful love story. SPOILER ALERT:
Now to the end, what were they thinking? This is one of the rare dramas in which a tragic ending is written in a beautiful and mesmerizing way making it clear to the audience that the leading couple gave their all, saved many lives, and fulfilled their promise to live and die together. [After sustaining multiple injuries, the leading man was pierced all around his waist by nine spears, all at the same time, with blood gushing out while she says in despair: “You broke your promise again.” Then the leading lady goes to the Beipan enemy encampment, gathers all the leaders in a tent and, as she killed the Prince, she closes her eyes and, in her thoughts, she says: “Yanzhou. You’re gone. It’s too lonely for me… in the world.” Then she immediately throws two of Yuan Lu’s bombs and the tent bursts into flames following the blast.] So, why giving the audience the implausible ideas that they survived, had children, and are living their dreamed life? How ridiculous!!!!! If the audience stops at the 40 minute mark of the last episode before they announced: [Ten or so years later], it will avoid ending up scratching its head, in disbelief!

“Wonderland of Love” is a great romance drama set in a historical period. The drama is an adaptation of the novel written by Fei Wo Si Cun, the pen name of the popular Chinese writer Ai Jingjing, original creator of “Good Bye, My Princess”.

This drama has a solid plot with great entertainment value, there are great action scenes, aesthetically pleasing cinematography , well placed sounds that adds depth and realism to the drama as well as a beautiful OST that helps convey the emotions of the actors and their actions. The leading couple, Xu Kai (as Li Ni / Shiqi Lang) and Jing Tian (as Cui Lin / A Ying) are a force to be reckoned with. Their characters are equally supplemented with artful intelligence and strategic schemes, great combat skills, strong mental and emotional bond, and a fantastic chemistry. Their
playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks, the way that they understood each other, and their steadfast love was delivered beautifully throughout the drama. The drama would not have been as great if it was not also that the supporting cast (friends and antagonists) was phenomenal. If there is one thing to complain, for romance lovers, is that the leading’s couple romantic scenes takes always ended up with distant camera shots and angles. Still, Xu Kai and Jing Tian manage to delivers some heartbreaking and heart fluttering scenes that made the intensity of their love realistic. Overall, this drama is extraordinary, enjoy it!
