This is a well done miniseries that deals with palace conspiracies, revenge, intrigue, and romance within a historical setting. The drama has a mix of the aforementioned genres but it is a lighthearted drama that is meant to get the leading couple into an arrange marriage and, while plotting to get resolutions to their own missions, they fall in love and work together to uncover the antagonist’s plot. As a short drama, the editing and some dialogues make some parts feel rushed but most of the drama flows nicely and the leading couple has a well developed relationship with good chemistry. Overall, this drama is entertaining, enjoy it!

As much as I wanted to like this drama, there are too many ridiculous, illogical and nonsensical scenes that made this drama unbearable. Although the drama has a seemingly cold male lead, his character is truly soul-stirring, loving, caring, and the most understanding of them all. The female lead, under the pretense of been a feminist, comes out as selfish, shallow, and unable to fully love the male lead. As a detective type drama, the leading couple has smart deductible thinking and good chemistry; as a romantic drama, it’s dull and tedious to watch. Then the last episode tops it all with the most absurd twist that leaves the viewer frustrated and balked.

This is a very good historical drama with good action scenes, nice romantic story line, and palace intrigue dosed with a good amount of well delivered subtle comedic moments that lighten the plot. Although not perfect, it is truly fun to watch. The cast, both leading and supporting actors, did a great job delivering their characters. The leading couple has a good fun and heartwarming chemistry that last throughout the drama. The drama is a mix of romantic comedy and mystery/intrigue that delivers entertainment. Enjoy it!

This drama is a romantic comedy that doesn’t deliver either genre well, it is full of clichés (cross-dressing, fated relationship, prosopagnosia, a galore of accidental and interrupted kisses that lead to nothing and a clueless female lead). The cluelessness of the female lead drags for almost the entire 24 episodes, bringing the chemistry among the leading couple to a halt. This drama would have been better if the plot was set in a high school environment, even if the characters were freshman in college; the drama had a high school feel. The drama is not a disaster; it is just that the romance is so slow burning that it causes exasperation because the female character doesn’t deliver the amorous feel. The drama is entertaining and would be a nice one to watch while waiting for a great one to come.

Title: Jie Geng Sheng Kai Shi (2025) aka Balloon Flower (2025) is a very good rebirth romance drama with Li Quan Cheng (as Fu Zheng) and Zhai Yiying (as Wen Li). This miniseries is well done and the cast did a good job bringing their characters to life. The leading couple has very good and natural chemistry and Zhai Yi Ting (as Wen Li) did a great job being delightfully cunning as she tries to seduce Li Quan Cheng (as Fu Zheng). Overall, this drama is quite entertaining, enjoy it!

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!

Lian Nian Bu Wang (2025)*********[Also Known As: Never Forget Love or 戀念不忘 (I Can’t Forget)] is a great miniseries with Cao Tian Kai (as He Ting Zhou) and Zhang Shan (as Song Shuang Xu) in the leading couple’s role. The drama is well written, especially for the leading couple. Cao Tian Kai waited five years for Song Shuan Xu to come back home from studying abroad after forcefully sent away to separate her from her brother Shen Yu; since she was an orphan that went to live with them. Song Shuang Xu was not loved by her family and she had a crush on Shen Yu with whom she had no blood relation. Although Shen Yu’s parents really loved her and saw her as a family member, they wanted to save face and find a partner for their son of equal or better social and financial status. Shen Yu wanted to be with Song Shuan Xu but he was never brave enough to brave the storm. He Ting Zhou knew about Song Shuang Xu’s crush but, this time around, he’ll do anything to get her to fall in love with him. Cao Tian Kai and Zhang Shan have a wonderful chemistry, whether they are bickering or intimate, they fascinate the viewer with their acting and rapport. Overall, this is a very nice romance drama, enjoy it!

The Killing Romance (2023) is a great miniseries set in historical times with a fantasy element and a cast that did very well bringing their characters to life. The drama, even though it has a main antagonist pulling the strings from within the palace walls, center on the lead couple. Ma Hao Dong as Wu Ji / Fa Wu Wei and Zizi Xu as Tang Xiao Lu / Li Zi Yi are a force to be reckoned with; from their strong martial arts to their beautiful and steadfast loving relationship, always having each other’s back. The drama has good and well choreographed action scenes, beautiful costumes, and a nice OST. Overall, the drama is very entertainment, enjoy it! PS: The half rating point taken away from a total of 10 points is because the romantic scenes could have been done better! Still, the romance storyline is great!

Li Shao Qing Fang Shou (2023) is a supposed romance drama that falls more into the category of a male lead that constantly plots for the cruelest revenge against the leading lady while still being in love (obsessed) with her, and a leading lady that, no matter how terribly she’s being treated, has never stopped loving her husband. Of course, this type of dysfunctional relationship and mistreatment is all due to antagonists trapping the leading male into believing their lies and, once the truth is revealed, everything is glossed over by the leadings man’s remorsefulness and impudent (overly cute) attitude to win her over again. This physically and emotionally heavy plot is not suitable for a short drama since the bitter flavor of the brutal relationship doesn’t have enough time to be sweetened to leave the viewer feeling the redemption storyline and feel happy and satisfied at the end.

This drama could’ve been a well done drama if it was not from the fact that the female lead Ming Yue (played by Bai Yan) spent too much time been drugged, kidnapped, and carried by the male lead and others; and the male lead Li Chuan Yuan (played by Lu Shan Dong) was always there in the nick of time to save the day! There is a nice chemistry between the leading couple and the drama has a nice happy ending. The drama is a miniseries so the plot seemed choppy and there were too many characters trying hurt the Ming Yue. There is also a good amount of frenzied characters and over the top crazy female characters. Overall, although this review is seemingly negative, the drama is not too bad but, one cannot help to feel dumbfounded at the amount of kidnappings, slaps, and being carried up for the female lead.

This is a nice drama with a heartwarming romance that starts as strangers meeting by circumstances, marriage of convenience, pregnancy, a lot of lunatics putting the female lead on harms way, and a very nice male lead that adores her and saves her repeatedly from the antagonists. Although the plot has a lot of ridiculous and frivolous characters, and the site that I watch the drama on has many parts without translation, the story is simple and easy to follow. It is also nice to watch the romance of the leading couple as they get to love, respect and admire each other.

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).

This drama can be found on YouTube under the title: “Revenge to The Devil” Blind wife found husband's conspiracy and took perfect revenge”. Although the subtitles are not the best, which is a disgrace for this drama, the plot is a very good and smartly written revenge drama with a much better ending. The leading lady, Ai Lin / "Erin" deftly played by Jiang Shi Qi, is a strong and intelligent woman that, after been betrayed by her husband in the most heinous way and finding tha her son Dondon has disappeared, she reaffirms herself and steps on a path of revenge. By a chance encounter, she meets Luo Meijuan, a woman living miserably under the shadow of an abusive alcoholic husband, and the two formed a bond and helped each other to get away from their respective malevolent husbands. This drama is very well casted with great performances from the main characters Ai Lin (Jiang Shi Qi) and Wang Dao Tie as Wen Rick, Ai Lin’s Machiavellian second husband and the unscrupulous Inspector General of their police Department. This drama is not a romantic story, it is a great story about a woman who will do anything in order to protect her son and avenge her husband’s betrayal. Overall, the cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and the drama is provocative and entertaining, enjoy it!

This drama has a good storyline but the execution was poorly done and it became increasingly boring. The female lead was a breath of fresh air but even her cuteness was not enough to develop a good romantic chemistry between her and the leading male whose facial expressions did not convey love and tenderness. Even if the drama has a limited timeframe, the acting could have been better. The actress that portrayed the Empress did a decent job bringing her character to life. Overall, this is a one-time watch while waiting for a great one to come.
