On The Romance of Hua Rong 2, the first episodes are the same old mistrust story from the female lead toward the male lead and the playing hard to get when they have been together as a couple on and off, but it really gets better on episode 9 and on. There is a clip at the end of every episode that sheds light and, sometimes, some humor to something that happened during the episode. There are more allusions to modern time (waterbed on episode 4- hilarious!)and a strong but obvious antagonist that really puts the characters in ridiculous situations. Although the drama is full of clichés and the tiring feminist attitude of the female lead when it is obvious that the male lead is not trying to stop her but to protect her from her own impulsivity, there are many sweet (episode 9- is beautiful when he doesn’t allow her to give him her eyes) and romantic moments between the lead couple that make the title more plausible. Season 2 is nice to watch and delivers entertainment. Enjoy it! Was this review helpful to you?
This review is for Season 1 & 2:
This is a really nice short drama. The costumes, choreography, and cinematography are well done and most of the actors deliver the characters well. Although the romance is not a blazing one, the leading couple has great chemistry and a steadfast relationship. The crime cases are simple but the leading couple's way of solving crime, reasoning, and mutual understanding are fun to watch. The ending (from Season 2) is a happy one but it felt rushed and something was amiss. Overall, the drama offers a light but loyal romance, some suspense, and a dose of comedy.Was this review helpful to you?

This is a kind of nice drama to watch while waiting for a great one to come. The leading couple has good chemistry but the female lead was childish and insecure which made up for too frequent bickering that, although they were resolved quickly, it was the male lead constantly trying to prove himself. Her twin sister was insufferable toward her love interest and, although his sincerity pays off at the end, it was also depressing to see him trying to prove himself constantly. Every relationship on this drama had one of the characters been sharp-witted and the significant others acted so childish that their romantic vibes didn’t leave any long lasting impression. The drama has two other romance plots but it really gets tiring. The pairing of naïve and infantile female/male adults with the presumably cold and shrewd characters is tripled clichéd on this drama; as if one is not enough, the drama has three!

This is a nice drama to watch while waiting for a great one. The story is simple but some of the characters were extremely frustrating and the antagonist got to exterminate so many people that the storyline became sickly twisted. The worst characters were Bai Yin Ruo which became really cruel and selfish that it got tiring; also Yang Zhuo, Yang Xiao’s cousin that would do anything for Yin Ruo even when he knew that she was wrong. The leading couple did well together and was consistent with their feelings for each other, even when Yue Zi Yuan tried to not correspond to Yang Xiao’s feelings; she was still loving and protecting him. There are inconsistencies on the drama and the end, even though it was a good ending, could have been more romantic and less comical, taking in consideration that the drama, although it was a romantic comedy, put the leading couple through a lot of physical and emotional pain. Overall, the drama is entertaining. Was this review helpful to you?

This drama has a good storyline but the characters and incidents are really tiresome. The main leads are very smart individuals that the writer of this drama decided to undermine by turning the male lead into someone that continuously justifies the ill conceived actions of the female lead and his grandfather and giving the audience a female lead that consistently hurt the male lead with the excuse that she doesn’t want to hurt him. Although the female lead has a reason to suspect the people from the Li family as she searches for the truth and her lost memories, she is scheming and manipulative throughout the entire drama. The romantic plot on this drama is marred by the constant mistrust and machinations of the lead female. Even though there are plenty of romantic scenes between the leading couple, for the most part, the acting from the female lead was not at par with the male lead in creating a romantic atmosphere. There’s a lot of overacting from the part of the supporting cast and the antagonists turned buffoonish by the end of the drama. Overall, this is a drama with a good premise that became disappointing by the end. Was this review helpful to you?

This drama is one of those to watch when there’s nothing better out there. The story is about Ling Long, the cause of her split personality (the other identity who lives inside of her is a wolf), her connection with Yan Quing and the Wolf tribe. The synopsis is more interesting than the entire drama! This is one of those dramas in which the female lead remains distant from the steadfast protector male lead until the last episode, making the entire drama quite frustrating and there is not much chemistry among the leading couple. Ling Long was portrayed as smart and resourceful but not trusting of Yan Quing that, for some odd reason, was constantly given a playful aura that didn’t go well with his real persona. The drama had a comedic tone with some dramatic undertones, but the characters were over-acted to the point of getting irritating sometimes. There are many plot holes and, although the drama was about the Wolf Princess, Yan Quing did most of the work. Overall, it is not a romantic drama; Ling Long’s alter ego was much more interesting, fun, and engaging. The drama has some good action scenes and, although it is not a memorable drama, it is watchable. Was this review helpful to you?

This is another older woman/younger man drama that falls flat at the end! The drama’s best part was the sisterhood relationship between Xun Xun and her best friend Zhou Quan; it’s really nice and endearing. The part of the synopsis about working hard to get custody of her child is not even one of the premises of the drama since the issue is put on the back burner and there is no resolution to it. The show is about Xun Xun becoming Cheng Li’s lover and supporter that eventually becomes the way that he gets healed from his childhood trauma. Their relationship started out with a potentially good romantic story but it went flat when Xun Xun decided that marriage was not an option for her. The biggest issue is that the story doesn’t resolve the lack of trust that Xun Xun has about Cheng Li’s love and level of maturity to want to establish a family with her. The story makes it almost a comedic and cute plot as he’s left waiting for her to decide when she would be ready for marriage ever again since it seems that a 23 year old man, who seems mature enough to make good and firm decisions throughout the drama, is not mature enough for marriage. It’s really disappointing when an older woman gets into a relationship with a younger man and the resolution is: sit and wait for me! How about people reaching their goals together? Maybe the writers have not heard of that concept yet! Was this review helpful to you?

Vagabond is a drama about government corruption and conspiracies that starts to unravel after a plane crash. The drama is packed with action and it has great cinematography and music. The actions scenes are very well choreographed and realistic. Although the main leads get closer and it is obvious that they developed romantic feelings, there’s no romance. All the main and supporting cast was great bringing their characters to life and the plot was consistent with the conspiracies that abound. The overall acting by the grieving families was fantastic and makes the viewer feel the pain and frustration as they navigate and participate in the process of finding the truth about the plane crash. The drama could’ve had a rating of 10 if it would not have been that it ended with a cliffhanger that gives the impression that there will be a second season. Overall, it is very entertaining, enjoy it! Was this review helpful to you?

This is a very entertaining drama. It is good that Season 1 and 2 are out since it offers a continuation that will truly bring all kind of emotions out. This drama has a really cute and light romance with comedic parts and some heart tugging scenes. Although it is not a “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” production, the drama offers enough entertaining and has a great feel. Even though the romantic scenes weren't anything special, the two main leads had really good chemistry, were fun to watch, and were true to each other. Luo Fei Fei, Bei Tang Yi, Bei Tang Tang, Xie Yan Ran, Chu Shang Nan, and Bai Wu Chen held this drama together and their interactions were enhanced by a great display of emotions and sincerity toward each other. The OST harmonizes very well with the corresponding scenes improving its qualities. The fantasy time travel theme paired with the zodiac element and its unique powers made for a well developed plot throughout the series shaping this drama into an engaging and enjoyable story to watch. Enjoy it!

Ping Ai Yi Jiang Ta Si You (2025) is a great romance miniseries adapted from the web novel "Bo Li Yan" by Mei Lu Bi Bi with Zhao Zhendong (as Lou Chong) and Zhai Yiying (as Li Xing) in the leading couple’s role. The cast did a good job bringing their characters to life and the lead couple had a fantastic romantic chemistry. This drama is well written and the male lead is surrounded by rumors, mystery, and misunderstandings that kept the viewer holding its breath in many occasions. Lou Chong has an enigmatic aura and oozes sensuality while Li Xing can’t help but to fall in love with him as he breaks through her emotional and physical impotence and, above all, as she resisted him. Seeing the leading couple’s romance developed beautifully through their willingness to love, trust each other, and talk openly and sincerely to each other is breathtaking. Overall, this drama is great, enjoy it!In the meantime, this drama can be found in YouTube under the caption: “She became a paid gf for money, not knowing the CEO waited 10 yrs...” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5SBKHaaKaQ)
