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 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: On a Springtime Love Affair (2025) is a miniseries with Cao Tiankai and Tan Xin in the leading couple’s role. This yet another version of the leading lady falling in love with her best friend’s uncle who fell in love with her when they were younger. The plot on this one has some nice changes but it still is an adaptation from the web novel "Re Chan Chun Ruan" by You Yi Li as many other ones. The lead couple has a good number of romantic scenes that could have been better but the leading lady, Tan Xin, was a bit too stiff. Cao Tiankai did better, but there were no melting “I’m so much in love with you” facial expressions between the couple.

Sorry, I'm the Lead (2025)/ Bao Qian Wo Na De Shi Nv Zhu Ju Ben (2025) is a very good miniseries with Xiong Yun Hao and Wang Mu Xuan in the leading couple’s role. The drama is nice and the leading couple has good chemistry, if only they would have more screen time! One can only conclude that the title “Sorry, I’m the Lead” refers to the leading lady’s role as she navigates a betrayal, antagonists shenanigans, and finding a supportive and great steadfast love. Still, her romance could’ve used more screen time since, by the end, their chemistry was getting really good.

Wedding Night and Departure (2025) is a nice romance fantasy drama set within a historical era with male lead Ben Wang (as Rong Jiu Si) and female lead Li Ke Yi (as Mu Yun Shu). Although some palace antics and assassination plots are part of the palace's shenanigans , the drama could be consider lighthearted, especially due to Mu Yun Shu’s high-spirited and playful character, even though she can display good judgment in understanding situations due to the nature of the historical periods. The lead couple has good chemistry and their intimate moments were nicely done. Overall, even though the drama lacks the intensity on certain moments, the drama is nice to watch.

Shh! No Dating Allowed in Class (2024) is a romance miniseries with the lead male Cheng Zi Xin (as Ji Shu Yin) and lead actress Yang Shu Yu (as Xiao Hua). The plot is interesting but there is not much to say about the romance between the lead couple. Their chemistry falls flat and, even after she falls in love with him, she spent much of the time running away from him. The male lead exerted all efforts for romance and the female lead’s body language didn’t show enthusiasm.

She Came out of the Abyss (2024) is a nice rebirth story with Chen Si (as Gu Jing Chen) and Li Ruo Qi as (Cen Yuan) in the leading couple role. On her second life, she gets involved with Gu Jing Chen and they fall in love. The leading couple has good chemistry and some heartwarming moments. The drama unfolds nicely but the rushed and kind of unfinished ending doesn’t do justice to the cast. Some of the supporting casts' acting was not up to par performing their roles and there were some unnecessary scenes, Overall, the drama could’ve used three more minutes to change the ending and make it more satisfactory.

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.
