This is a really good family drama. The different stories intertwined well together and the cast did a great job bringing their characters to life. The storyline is about three families and how their lives get linked as the story progresses. The romantic scenes are not extraordinary, but the relationships are fantastic among all the characters. The Park’s family patriarch, Park Hyo Seob, and Lee Mi Yeon are really solid characters that were well developed and are showed a really great and enjoyable chemistry. The second lead couple, Park Yoo Ha and Jung Eun Tae, has a great storyline and did very well during their story development. This family drama has all the conflicts between family members and their significant others with a mix of melodrama, comedic moments, some bromance, clearly distinguished good and antagonist characters, and resolutions that brings moral judgment. Overall, it is a very entertaining drama. Enjoy it!

This review is for both seasons together:
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!

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 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.
Overall, this is a magnificent drama that is worth watching. Enjoy it!

This is a very nice and well performed drama. The leading couple has very good chemistry and, once they realize their feelings for the each other, the bond just grows stronger and remains steadfast throughout the duration of the story. The supporting cast is great also. Li Hong Bin’s bodyguard is fantastic! Both leading characters are strong and resilient and willing to protect their love and their love ones at all times. The drama has action, melodrama tones, romance, and a comedic aspect that is perfect since is not over-the-top comedy. The drama flows fast and it is easy to watch since the conflicts are not long lasting and the resolutions are quite satisfying. The costumes are complementary and the cinematography is beautiful. This is a real romantic comedy where, even through conflicts, the leading couple remains true to each other and works to resolve conflicts separately and together for the sake of staying together. A true refreshing and entertaining drama. Enjoy it!

The Prisoner of Beauty(2025) is a mesmerizing romance drama set within a historical period. It has a great main and supporting cast with Liu Yu Ning (as Wei Shao / Zhong Lin) and Song Zu Er (as Qiao Man(Man Man) / "Xiao Qiao") in the leading couple role.

This is a drama with a fantastic “enemies to lovers” plot. The romance is a captivating slow burn romance that delights the audience with two individuals that, the more difficulties and obstacles they overcome, the deeper their bond becomes until they became stronger together and developed a relationship of mutual respect, trust, and intense love.

Fu Xian Sheng Bie Zhui Le, Da Xiao Jie Shi Jia De (2024) is a nice revenge plot drama with Zuo Yi as Si Nian and Ma Xiao Yu as Fu Jing Yan.

In this drama, both leading characters are smart, manipulative, and determined in reaching their goals while fortuitously falling in love and becoming a couple that share mutual understanding, respect, and a steadfast love.

This is a drama that has everything to be highly rated (great acting, choreography, cinematography, music) but somehow, it fell short as the story progresses. Putting the lack of romantic chemistry aside, the acting is really superb, especially from the main cast. There is great character development and, in the case of Emperor Murong Gao Gong/Fu Wang, excellently played by Peter Ho, where his development can be defined as a convolution. Although the acting is quite impressive for the majority of the cast, a story of forbidden love needs to be portrayed with more passion, not the lustful passion, just the reckless, despairing, and torment passion that comes from not been able to be together. Maybe it is because of the editing, the fact that the show was trying really hard to be comedic, or simply because that the leading couple, even though they have very good playful interactions and they show great prowess together, they fell short on their romantic interactions. The story has elements of comedy, romance, great action scenes, sinister plots, and great camaraderie among Xiao Duo’s friends in arms. Overall, the drama is a good production; however, it would be more appropriate to call it Floating on the Edge or Fu Tu Tower rather than Unchained Love.

This review is for Season1 & 2:
This is a fun and winsome short fantasy drama where the characters of a virtual game, Bo Ye and Yan, accidentally crossed to the real world after the game shut down. In the real world, Xiao Yu and Yuan Fan team up with the master of Bowu Sect to get rid of Yan, the villain of this virtual game. Coincidentally, Xiao Yu becomes Yuan Fan bodyguard and they become romantically involved. The romance is slow burned and the leading couple lacks chemistry. The drama is farcical and many characters are satirical and exaggerated, but overall, the drama is lighthearted and fun to watch while waiting for a great one to come.
SPOILER ALERT: The drama ends well since, even if the story was a dream, the leading couple has its destined meeting.
