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!
For now, this drama can be found on You Tube under the caption: “They say he’s cold and ruthless—but to the girl he took in, he’s all tenderness.” or “Genius criminology girl tamed the cold detective captain! #yangmiemieyulong”

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.
In the meantime, this drama can be found On YouTube under the caption: “Cold CEO rejects all women but loves a mute village girl 10 years younger, spoiling her deeply!” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN03FW57cYw) or “At 18, she tamed the wild CEO 8 years older, winning his lifelong devotion” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPWK5ZQ82Ho)

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!
For now, this drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: “She saw the CEO as an uncle—but when others confessed to her, he kissed her possessively.” or "The Younger Uncle's Tempting Whisper | Xie Hongxin & Lei Fuman"

Passionate Love (2024) is the somewhat disturbing and fascinating love story of the leading couple, Lu Lin Feng (played by Zhen Zi Qi) and Lin Wan (played by Quan Rui). Their contract relationship is base on a misunderstanding but both of them can’t help it and they fell in love with each other. even though neither one expressed it until they were about to break up for good when she is being forced to marry his nephew. This story and, especially the leading couple, deserved a full run drama; the plot is well written and the main cast did a wonderful job bringing their characters to life. What sets this drama apart, regardless of some disturbing issues in their relationship, is the fact that Zhen Zi Qi and Quan Rui performed their roles magnificently and they have a mesmerizing, passionate, and beautiful chemistry. Their most dramatic scene at 1 hour and 33 minutes into the drama is heartbreaking and breathtaking. Although some supporting cast acting was subpar, overall, this drama is great! 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!

In Blossom is a great thriller, romance, fantasy drama written within a historical setting. There are some gory scenes, necessary due to the nature of the female lead’s profession, very detailed and smart murder investigation with logical deductions and conclusions that give us glimpses of the leading couple’s strong and intelligent characters. There are very well done action scenes and bloody tortures coming from the antagonist and his henchmen, mysterious and complex characters that help shaped the validity of the plot, a fantasy element that, although it was interesting and the leading actress tried her best in her characterization of Yang Cai Wei I, it is true that the fantasy element would have worked better if they would have chosen an actress for the real Yang Cai Wei whose body was anatomically closer to Ju Jing Yi. The cinematography was well planned and executed with glimpses of Gothic elements and the cast did a good job bringing their characters to life. In the romance department, it would be right to say that it is more about a soulful than a physical connection. Pan Yue, exceptionally portrayed by Liu Xue Yi, is a man with great moral character, integrity, and above all, a man that steadfastly loved the souls of his woman. Ju Jing Yi did great portraying her character as the infatuated and self-centered Shangguan Zhi and she tried her best portraying Yang Cai Wei, but the Ju Jing Yi, although she captured the awareness and ability to express the intelligence of Yang Cai Wei, she didn’t get the body language right. This might have been due to the fact that the casting director failed to recognize that it was just a face swap, not a whole body swap, and Ju Jing Yi’s body is too frail looking compared to Zheng He Hui Zi’s that played Yang Cai Wei in the first two episodes. Besides this oversight, which was just a bit odd, the drama is an excellent thriller, with a heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking steadfast romance, and a very pleasing intellectual connection between the leading couple. The supporting cast did very well and provided side stories that gave mystery and depth to the story. Enjoy it!

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!

Wife Above All is a miniseries set in a historical era that tries too hard to give the audience a comedy, action, revenge, and romance plot but it does not deliver any of these genres properly. The female leads are the dominant characters in the story and the male leads, which got married with ulterior motives, go to a process of learning how to become the right husband for their respective wives while battling a court antagonist, diseases, lies, and revelations. The drama is not well written for the main characters and one of the couples, Mo Jing Yu and Yun Zi Long , even after they supposedly fall in love and are willing to die for each other, end up been separated at the end in just an amicable and nonsensical way. The second couple, Mo Ban Xia and Qin Chong Lou, had a better storyline and it was nice to see them falling in love and supporting each other. The only well done part of this drama is the insightful and comedic side story at the end of every episode.

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.

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!!
