“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!

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!

Me and My Rose (2025) is a great romance miniseries with male lead Yu Lon (as Zhou Jing) and female lead Yang Mei Mei (as Shen Ling). The cast did a fantastic job bringing their characters to life and, once again, Yu Lon and Yang Mie Mie captured the audience with another enthralling performance with fantastic chemistry. The plot has action, secrets, a mysterious, steadfast camaraderie, and a beautiful love story. Enjoy it!

Story of Kunning Palace is a magnificent production set within a historical period to bring a well written and better executed tale of redemption for Jiang Xue Ning (played by Bai Lu) and the masterfully revenge plan of the male lead Xie Wei (played by Zhang Ling He). There are many and long reviews analyzing plot and characters that are true to the story so my review is to simply tell the audience that this drama is excellent and a must watch. The drama has a stellar cast and the cast did a fantastic job bringing their characters to life, but I must have to reiterate that Bai Lu and Zhang Ling He were brilliant in their portrayal of Jiang Xue Ning and Xie Wei, two intelligent, strong, and steadfast characters that were brought together by fate and became a force to be reckoned with. Everything is played extremely well in this drama; from well designed palace antics, great action scenes, a slow burned romantic plot with a prolonged building of emotions that burst into an unwavering, blazing, and beautiful romance, beautiful and playful friendship to heart wrenching moments brought by greed and betrayal, and all the way to a well plotted resolution and a beautiful happy ending. This one is a masterpiece, enjoy it!!!

Review for Part 1 @ 2

This drama is a GREAT historical production that should not have been titled “Love Like The Galaxy” because their love was not only slow burned, but also full of secrets, lack of confidence, misunderstandings, and, the most tedious part of this drama, Shao Shang’s cold attitude and distrust toward Zi Sheng. How a great love cannot understand Zi Sheng’s emotional pain, turmoil, and commitment?
Having said that, Zhao Lusi (Shao Shang) and Leo Wu (Zi Sheng) did an excellent job portraying their characters and, although their romantic their chemistry was not very amorous, the best intimate interaction in the whole drama happened without an unnecessary awkward kiss in episode 36, really beautiful and heartwarming! The rest of the cast also did a wonderful job bringing their characters to life.
This drama is heavy on revenge plots, palace antics, familial interactions, truehearted friendship, occasional comedic scenes to lighten the darker tones, great action scenes, and amazing cinematography and music.

- Chi Ye Wen Rou (2025) (aka: Guarding You Till the End) is a romance miniseries with Zhao ZhenDong (as Wen Xun ) and Zhai YiYing (as Xu Xing) in the leading couple’s role. The cast did a very good job bringing their characters to life and the lead couple had a nice chemistry. The romance is slow burn due to the male lead’s unfinished business with his parent’s death and his fear that she could be hurt in spite of his efforts to protect her. Still, the drama is nice but, to be a romance drama, this miniseries shows the lead couple’s great feelings but it lacks on showing the audience a passionate romance.

The Wedding Day (2025) is a romance fantasy miniseries with a mystery and revenge plot involved with Zhen Zi Qi (as Leng Wu Xin/Leng Si Nuan) and Yang Qi Ru (as Ye Yu Nuo) in the leading couple’s role. The drama seems choppy but it is part of the fantasy element on the story which is well done and builds up the storyline. The cast did a good job bringing their characters to life with a special mention to the actress that portrayed the little girl. The lead couple has very good chemistry, great romance scenes, and even some humorous interactions. Overall, this drama is entertaining, enjoy it!

Love at a Glance (2025) is a great romance miniseries with Xie Hongxin (as Qin Mo) and Lei Fuman (as Jiang Wan Shan) in the leading couple’s role. This is a very good version of this plot and the cast did a splendid job bringing their characters to life. The leading lady, although helped and protected by Qin Mo, is a determined and strong woman that rises on her own abilities to become a great source of strength to the male lead. Qin Mo learns to allow her to grow her own wings and remains a source of love and emotional support for Wan Shan. The leading couple has a zealous relationship and a lovely, passionate chemistry. Overall, this drama is delightful and entertaining, enjoy it!
