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 cute lighthearted drama that was downgraded by the introduction of needless clichés (unwanted childhood sweetheart comes for arrange marriage, 2 times amnesia forgetting the love of his life, the forced separation: lead character leaves for 3 years before reconciling at last episode, …). The story is really nice and the leading couple had a cute playful chemistry with a few nice romantic moments but everything falls apart when the leading characters started acting differently to their original representation from the moment the leading lady convinces the leading male to marry someone he didn’t want to marry. Although the drama ends with a happily ever after, the resolution took too long and it was more comedic than romantic.

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.

“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!

Review for both seasons together

This is a fairly good drama. The plot had a lot of potential but the storyline between the lead couple had the same elements even though there were centuries in between each existence. The acting is good for the most part but the feelings are not well developed. Zhang Yi Jie (as Hao Yue and Lei Hao-Season 2) and Lai Yu Meng (as Princess Li Ying and Wei Yong Qian- Season 2) had a great storyline and very good chemistry. The first season was more entertaining and the characters were better developed; the CGI’s and the music were great and the action was nice. On the second season, the characters lost depth and luster due to the overused plot. Even though this is not a drama with strong re-watch value, it’s still entertaining.

High Rewatch Value (4 times since first watched 3 years ago. Still a ✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶!

This is a very good drama. The storyline is solid, it has great cinematography, good music, and it offers a wide range of emotions that are found through a good blend of emotional unexpected series of events, comedy, action, and romance within a historical background. . The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and there was good chemistry among the whole cast. The lead couple had very good chemistry as well, but I must say that it was strongly carried by the intense and stoic personality of the Crowned Prince. This drama offers a good range of complex stories and characters that gave a wholesome feeling to the storyline that was not solely concentrated on the female and male leads since each story was weaved nicely into their lives. The drama is entertaining on all aspects. Enjoy it!

Hello Baby (2024) is a great romance miniseries with Zhu Yiwei (as Fu Ci Yu) and Bai Xinyi (as Xia Zhi Cha) in the leading couple’s role. The cast did a really good job bringing their characters to life and there are no evil antagonists trying to separate the lead couple. This drama is about grabbing the opportunity and following your heart beyond the insecurities. Fu Ci Yu and Xia Zhi Cha are both determined characters; even though the leading lady is shy, she’s still resolute on pursuing this second chance. The male lead leaves no room for any other men to get his girl. Overall, this drama is delightfully entertaining, enjoy it!
Note: By the airing of this drama, the actors Zhu Yiwei and Bai Xinyi were newlyweds! ;)

- Zhou Zhou Ben Fu Ni (2025) is a great romance miniseries with Huai Wen (as Zhou Jin Xu) and Fu Yu Shu (as Jiang Ni) in the leading couple’s role. The story is well written and produced and the cast did a good job bringing their characters to life. The leading couple has a fantastic relationship and romantic chemistry. The romance is slow burn but it is really worth the wait! Huai Wen and Fu Yu Shu portrayed their characters with such finesse and accuracy that gave the audience a natural, suave, steadfast, trustful, and beautiful romance.
For the meantime, this drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: “Married CEO for runaway sister, turns out he'd wanted her all along” or “I married brother-in-law for my sister who ran away from marriage, but he spoiled me like a treasure”

The Ugly Queen is a farcical comedy representation with exaggerated content set within a historical period. There are some good action scenes and, taking in consideration that it contains a bit of slapstick and dark comedy elements, the drama is comprised of a good amount of ridiculous characters and dialogue. Having watched this drama in iQiyi, it is a disservice to a drama when the translation is clearly done through the use of a translation device without any proofreading resulting in duplicity and confusing dialogues. If the drama is well translated, it would be a much more enjoyable watching experience.

This is a nice and cute comedy romance fantasy in a historical setting. Although it is full of clichés, it has a lot of funny moments and a bit of a dark villainous plot. Although the leading couple has good chemistry, it is Li Ge Yang as Xu Zi Yan that carries on the romance vibe the best. Even though Dong Si Yi as Xia Yu Bing is funny and refreshing to watch, she lacks on facial loving expressions on some of the romantic scenes. The drama is very entertaining for the most part but it has a villain, Xue Mu, portrayed by Liu Yao Yuan which becomes very irritating and insufferable without reason. Due to the comedy aspect of this drama, there is overly exaggerated acting from the cast intended that many times is funny but sometimes can be awkward. Still, the drama is entertaining.

This drama had a great story that went all wrong. The leading couple’s relationship was marred by the constant mistrust of the leading lady toward the male lead. What more did he have to do to prove himself? Also, the lead couple lacked chemistry and their romantic scenes were nothing spectacular. The second lead couple was so much better! The music is nice and the action scenes were well played. The drama’s way of getting the bad guys was great until the last villain, Duke An's, played his vengeful plot against the main lead. SPOILER ALERT: REALLY? Does it make sense that no one could make it clear that Duke An's mother didn’t die on the fire? If the viewer is looking for a nice romance, this drama is not it; if the viewer is looking for a well developed plot and a reasonable sense of revenge, this drama is not it either. This drama will not make the rewatch list; it is one of those to watch while waiting for a great one to come!

This is a very good drama with a nice romantic story. “I Hear You” is more about the male lead’s ability to understand his beloved despite his quiet and seemingly cold demeanor. The drama uses the circumstantial cohabitation as a premise to have the lead couple to get to know each other and eventually fall in love. The supporting cast is excellent, especially Bei Er Duo ‘s best friend Tang Li (Gratitude Dai) who had the best character development in the drama. There is great chemistry among the cast and the leading couple manage to increasingly sustain their great chemistry all the way until the end of the drama. **SPOILER ALERT** The drama was really good, but it could have been better if not for the unnecessary “separation to reach our goals” theme on the last episode; but at least time flew by in matters of minutes and the male lead resolved everyone else’s problems before going to Japan and appearing in front of his REAL dream, (Bei Er Duo), at the last moment ending the drama with a sweet embrace.

This is a very nice, light romantic comedy with great feelings. Don’t expect too much from The Rules of Love Season 1 since it is just the preemptive tale of how the lead couple meet and a series of unfortunate events developed that will get the couple together. For The Rules of Love Season 2, the love story starts to develop and characters start to fall into place. The drama is nice and the romance is light but the leading couple has good chemistry. What stand out on this drama is the overall sense of sincerity on the character’s feelings and the camaraderie. Last episode of Season 2 ends with “to be continued hinting to a Season 3. If you are looking for something nice to watch until a great one comes, this is entertaining. Enjoy it!

This is actually one of many versions but this one is by far a really good rendition. It is a miniseries so it is fast paced but everything is explain and clarify in due time. The drama is a romantic comedy and the comedy is delivered on the right time without interrupting the flow of the plot. The leading couple has very good chemistry and great moments together. Although the leading lady looks younger than her actual age, her character is smart, strong, witty, feisty, loyal, and kindhearted. It is a lighthearted drama with good romance and comedy. Enjoy it!
PS: Rating is by comparing other dramas of the same lenght and category and taking in consideration that it is a miniseries!
