Fall in Love with Him (2025) is a very nice romance drama with Chen Si (as Duan Shi Yan) and Zhu Mo Yan (as Jin Wu) in the leading couple role. The leading couple got together early in the drama and, from then on, Duan Shi Yan did everything that he could to win Jin Wu’s heart. This drama is one where a man’s perseverance, good timing, loving acts, and sensuality pays off with great dividends. Jin Mu is such a magnificent person and, when she married Shi Yan, she left nothing unsaid and reciprocated Shi Yan with a steadfast and sincere love that he longed for ten years. This miniseries is well written and the cast did a fantastic job bringing their characters to life. Although the intimate moments were shaded or covered using body positioning, the lead couple made up with great dialogue, beautiful introspections that showed the viewer exactly how they were feeling and, last but not least. The male lead oozed sensuality that made the female lead fall head over heels for him. overall, this drama is a great, funny, and entertaining love story. Enjoy it!
The drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: Dumping scum, a powerful CEO who secretly loved her for 10 years confessed, spoiled her endlessly.

This is a very nice manhwa adaptation with a story centered on the female lead Li Chang Ge (Diralba Dilmurat), which becomes a military strategist for the General, Ashile Sun (Wu Lei). As they spend time together, they formed a formidable partnership and a supportive steadfast love relationship. Although the drama excels on military strategies and well choreographs action scenes, the lead couple spends too much time apart and their romantic chemistry falls flat on most of their encounters. The other supporting couples had better chemistry and a better developed romantic relationship in the storyline [i.e. Li Le Yan (Rosy Zhao) with Hao Du (Liu Yu Ning) and Mimi Guli (Cao Xi Yue) with Nu Er (Liu Tian Bao)]. Overall, the drama is very engaging and entertaining.

This is a philosophical drama that explores “the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct” of the main and supporting characters. Through the fantasy element of the creation of a voice activated AI apparatus, the leading man, Moon Ha Won, is comforted as he creates an application that will help patients that have gone through traumatic events as he himself has. This drama evolves in super slow motion due to the unresolved feelings of important characters which, in one way or another, get their lives entangled through their interaction with Kim Ji Soo, an ephemeral character that leaves a complex and almost disturbing experience on everyone related to her. Then, there is also the lead female character, Han Seo Woo, which on the drama’s synopsis, is described as a person with “an open and optimistic mindset, believing that all things happen for a reason”. Most of the time, Seo Woo was ridiculously unreasonable, intrusive, impulsive, and insecure. Also, she develops a bizarre connection with Kim Ji Soo just after a few brief and almost nonsensical exchanges. Although the lead couple has good chemistry, their beautiful connection and developing love is wasted by Seo Woo’s antsy feelings toward Ha Won and her constant running away from him. Overall, the producers, writers, and editors missed to bring out a meaningful drama out of a potentially great story.

Zong Cai Fu Ren Wo Dang Ni Le (2024) is a great romantic comedy miniseries. The story is about the leading lady, Wen Yan (played by Han Yu Tong), who dies after an accident with a broken heart after her husband refuses to see her but, immediately, she finds herself alive and well being reborn a year before her death; thus ensued her determination to move on with her life without Shi Mu Bai (played by Sun Yue), the man that she has liked since childhood. Although the drama starts with a heartbreaking moment, the plot sticks to the comedy genre. The female lead transforms into s delightful force to be reckon with. The male lead, who, after her rebirth and insistence in getting the divorce, finds out that he really wants to stay with her, turns into a lovesick puppy and pursues her incessantly while protecting her when she’s in treble as she deals with her own troubles with her family. There is a non conforming antagonist that is always annoying the female lead and loves to slap but, it so just happened that the slapper keeps getting slapped by the female lead in a ridiculously funny way. The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and, although there many misses of intimacy for the leading couple, their interactions are somewhat sensual, heartwarming, and funny. Sun Yue is great on the role of the pursuer that really loses his “dignity” in order to get back with her and Han Yu Tong is fantastic on both the naïve woman in love and clever force of nature roles. Overall, this miniseries is well done and entertaining, enjoy it!

Burning Love, Unblemished(2025) is a nice romance miniseries with Li Zi Qian (as Zhou Li Cheng) and Zhang Shan (as Jiang Wanzhi) in the leading couple’s role. Although this drama is one of the many adaptations of the web novel "Jing Zhi Yu Ye" by Tan Qing Zhu, it is nice to see it with different actors. Li Zi Qian and Zhang Shan did a good job bringing their characters to life and they have really good chemistry. There is some fun push and pull between the lead couple that, on the long run, Zhou Li Cheng, with his seductive, protective, and fun personality, wins Jiang Wanzhi all over again.
In the meantime, this drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: #Li Ziqian#Zhang Shan🌟The relationship between us is not clear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfGLxhvoRO8)

Di Qi Ci Xin Tiao (2025) is a romance miniseries with Ben Wang as Lu Jingchen and Ma Xin Yu as Qin Ruyan/YanYan in the lead couple’s role. This is a miniseries that has a mystery surrounding the female lead and a man that falls for her at first sight. The lead couple has some really nice intimate moments but the female lead’s facial expressions don’t convey a loving warmth as her gaze seems detached from her emotions. The lead couple’s characters are intelligent, strong, and somewhat mysterious but, if not for the male lead’s suave, passionate, and warm persona, the romance would not have been believable. The drama’s plot has too many things going on and, sometimes, not all issues are resolved clearly, and no amount of passion nicely portrayed by the male lead, can overcome the female lead’s detached demeanor.

Secret Love (2024) is a nice romance drama with Shao Zhi Peng (as Shen Yan Ci) and Mao Sheng Er (as Xia Zhi Yao). Both Shen Yan Ci and Xia Zhi Yao (Yaoyao) liked each other for seven years but she was too young. Shen Yan Ci just got back from been away for three years and Yaoyao is finally an adult. There was never a confession before he left and now, I spite of their feelings, they are not sure if one feels the same as the other. So, Yan Ci accepts Yaoyao as his personal secretary and he uses all kinds of reasons to keep her close to him since the idea that physical and psychological nearness to others tends to increase interpersonal liking he hopes to turn friendship into a lovers’ relationship. It was really nice to see the development of their relationship. Shao Zhi Peng and Mao Sheng Er have a great playful and romantic chemistry with believable intimate moments. Even if Yan Ci’s persona was written a bit dull and the drama slows down at the end, it doesn’t take away from their great love story. Enjoy it!

No More Pretense: Mr. Huo's Daily Desire for Reconciliation (2024) is a nice romance drama with Wang Haozhen (as Huo Ling) and Cai Caiyun as Xiao Bai in the leading couple’s role. The leading couple did a good job bringing their characters to life but the plot relies more in the misunderstandings to create tension than in the couple’s feelings for each other. The leading actors had enough chemistry to provide a beautiful and tender romance but they spent most of the drama with a stoned or emotionless facial expression towards each other. If one looks at the male leads body language and concerned looks at the female lead, anyone can tell that he has liked her all alone. Still, the drama has a very nice ending. Enjoy it!

This is yet another version about the female lead (FL) gets together with the male lead (ML) after her scumbag fiancé cheats on her with her sister. The ML is her fiancé’s uncle who falls in love with the FL and pursues her constantly. Even though the ML realizes her love for her later on, he’s always been protecting and caring for her. The downfall on this version is not the acting but the way the FL’s character was written and her obsessively strong feeling of responsibility for her deceased mother even when she knew that she didn’t love her fiancé and that he didn’t love her back. On top of that, no matter how much the ML did for her, it was not until the very end that she became secure enough to believe that he truly loved her. There is also the terrible and absurd behavior and actions from the ML’s father. Although the drama has a happy ending, the way the story is written for the FL makes the drama’s romance tiresome. The ML’s character was much better written and Shen Hao Nan did a good job in his performance of Lu Zhao He (ML).

Miss Unwieldy is a really nice miniseries that brings about the antics of the privileged class and how some choose to betray and hurt even their own family members for the sake of power. The leading couple both suffered injustice at the hands of family members and had to fake disabilities such as amnesia and mental defect for the leading lady and wheelchair bound mobility for the male lead. The male lead, Huo Mu Huan (played by Yu Luong) has been taking care of the female lead Su Nuan (played by Yang Mei Mei) since she became disabled and retrograde amnesia and was betrayed by her sister and was forced into married a guy that mistreated and took advantage of her. While Mu Huan was lovingly taking care of “Nan Nan”(Su Nuan), he fell in love with her, and vice versa. They join hands to take revenge on those that wronged them and had their happy ending. The main leads have a very good, heartwarming chemistry and their romantic scenes, although not many, were nicely played. Overall, this is a nice and entertaining drama to watch. Enjoy it!

If the audience is used to short dramas, it will find that, although A Love Journal is a SUPER fast miniseries, it is really entertaining. It is even surprising that, in such a short time, the drama resolves the business aspects in a satisfactorily way and the lead couple has very good romantic chemistry. The leading lady works for a rival company and keeps that fact from her husband which gives way to the appearance of an antagonist from her company. The leads have met before in their high school days and seemed to have developed a nice friendship on that time. Even though the second leading couple doesn’t have the best romantic development, it is cute to see them together as the drama nears its ending. The drama starts as a marriage of convenience but, during the cohabitation, they gradually fell in love with each other. It also has a very nice ending, enjoy it!

Great adaptation of the Japanese shōjo manga series Hana Yori Dango and, to concur with other reviews, the best so far! Not having read the manga or watched the anime, I am not sure if it is close to the original work but, having seen all five drama adaptations (Japanese-Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2, Meteor Garden- Chinese and Taiwanese, Boys Over Flowers- Korean and, F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers), this is by far the most enjoyable with characters that are not over the top and that are more relatable. The drama is fast pace and the amnesia plot, although it was present, got washed out quickly and made the ending seem rushed. The cast did a good job bringing their characters to life and the chemistry among all characters was great. The leading couple also had good chemistry. Enjoy it!

This is a nice drama to watch while waiting for a great one to come only if you don’t mind:
A series full of misunderstandings.
A drama that, although is focused on romance, the lead male is full of justifiable distrust since the lead female is constantly doing things that will cause the lack of trust and then complaining that he doesn’t trust her.
A main couple that has a lot of tender moments but there’s no thrilling chemistry between them.
A leading lady that cannot put her thoughts together to give a reasonable explanation to each one of her actions that were causing the male lead to mistrust her.
And last, but not least, even if the drama has a happy ending, it is wasted on the male lead trying to woo her as if it wasn’t not good enough that he left everything behind to follow her.

This is a good drama with a twist. Although this drama could’ve been better, it is entertaining and the cast held two versions together quite effectively (the Song and the Wei side of the story). Giving only 8 stars because the main couple, although it had a good overall chemistry and delivered their dramatic scenes very well, it could’ve done better on the romantic scenes; for the rest, the drama has good action, deception, and quite a few very interesting twists. The cinematography and choreography are great! Enjoy it!!

“Some Day or One Day” is a thrilling fantasy drama with a really nice steadfast romance that transcended time and space. The actors did a great job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple excels in making the viewer believe that there were really two different characters, especially Alice Ke as Huang Yu Xuan /Chen Yun Ru where her roles were as different as night and day. Greg Han was also fantastic on his portrayal of Wang Quan Sheng/Li Zi Wei. There is also Patrick Shi who gives a great performance as the enigmatic Mo Jun Jie; and last but not least, Yan Yu Li as the antagonist and disturbing Xie Zhi Qi | Xie Zhong Ru. The time travel plot is carried very well, although a little bit confusing at times. The only thing that could’ve been better were the romantic scenes between the leading couple while kissing, most of the time the kissing seemed forced, but they make up with their great chemistry and understanding of each other throughout the drama. This drama is really entertaining, enjoy it!
