A great romance drama
When they just met, he respected her and even respected how she wanted things to go when it came to money.While in college and when she just started working, I think she is just over doing it and can’t accept his kindness. I think it’s very selfish because he really loves and cares for her.
This secret she is keeping about paying back her relatives, I could see it messing up their relationship.
Finally she told him and now his family went through a hard time and I blamed him for not being honest.
Why I cant stand her? Her actions towards him after they met again. She behaved so heartless and just ugh!!! I was really sad to see the guy keep chasing her. Her reasons for not wanting to be together was just foolish in my opinion. Anyways, for me, I don’t think she deserves him and that’s just me. She needed to stay by herself. For the ending, if they didn’t get back together, I would have been happy either way. But we got to see their wedding and it was a beautiful setting.
Overall, it is a great romance drama.

Strong ML
Song Wei Long looked so handsome in this drama! I'll just start there lol. This was a great "contractual" marriage drama and you will see why I say that. I got to say Tan was starting to frustrate me because she didn't want anything to do with him and yet when the Prince as showing affection/kindness she was still questioning his feelings (even though she didn't and also wanted him).Both Prince and Tan love grew stronger for each other. I am glad they didn't leave us too heartbroken at some of the characters that passed.
The political aspect of the drama was easy to watch and loved how smart the Prince is and oh not to mention his fighting skills.
Overall, it was good - I am always a sucker for these type of endings and I feel more sattsified.

MASTERPIECE! I WISH I COULD WATCH THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME
This is my #1 historical Cdrama for 2025. I was hooked from the first few minutes. I am so speechless as where to start. You can see how Wei Shao was captured by her beauty in the first part. When they finally got married, their bickering with each other is the funniest thing ever 🤣 Though you can tell they liked each other but how they were always "fighting" they sounded like a couple in love for years.Despite what happened with their families, they are very strong minded individuals who want to protect their families and their people. They worked against each other to with each other - they are both smart and strong in their own way.
Xiao Qiao makes the perfect wife - her character was just perfect!
I am so happy when they confessed their feelings. LISTEN!! there are so many other things I could say but THEIR KISSING SCENES, oh jeeeeez!!!! It was worth it!!!! THEIR ON SCREEN CHEMISTRY IS 100000/10.
Wei Shao generals and advisor ? Oh Gosh, they are just pure comedy.
Overall, it was captivating, excellent storyline, you will get ROMANCE, comedy, brotherhood, family, politics and fighting.
I wish I could watch this again for the first time. Saying I wish it had more episodes would have probably made it draggy but that is how I personally feel after watching it because I didnt want it to end.

light, modern, charming with a little romance
The cooking is what got me hooked because I love food. I always admire work and I was looking forward to watching this.I realized that his feelings did change and one point it seems he forgot about stealing the recipes
When her ex made an appearance and everything that came after that was just frustrating because he was delaying telling her the truth.
After the truth came out, I really thought he would try and try harder to talk to the FL and try “pleading his case” to let her know how sorry he was but in my opinion, he was giving her time?
I have no words to say about his mother, I’ll just leave it there and just watch it yourself.
For chef Jang and the other guy that worked for him are both selfish and heartless and will do anything just to be on top in their restaurant field.
At the end, the restaurant deserved all the recognition it got and that’s because of the Chef Mo and her team- they did everything with their passion and heart.
Overall it’s a light, modern, charming romance drama.

It was really "The Best Thing"
Heart warming, cute, light, charming and romantic. The leads were super cute in this drama and they had amazing chemistry. Y’all know we will get good kissing scenes with Zhang lol. So many messages in each episodes which made it a great storyline. This was an easy watch, It was not draggy and you will definitely love it.THANK YOU writers for not making her act silly and I love that she dressed modern. For the ending, I loved it and I am happy we got to see their happy ending.

4 friends experiencing love/relationships in their 20s
This is a really good short youthful rom com. 4 friends with different personalities. They are very close and care and support for each other.They are all shy and inexperience with relationships. They are very young so it is understandable. But it shows the reality of youths growing up, experiencing different relationships.
Min Gi character is so frustrating LOL is experiencing a real relationship for the first time but bro is so emotional.
Gi Hyeok, I didnt feel sorry for him because he didn't try clear up any misunderstanding before it was too late.
Gwang Jae, for me, I don’t think he is ready for a relationship.
Jun Seok - I had high hopes for him to be in a steady relationship because he seemed like the most sensible one of the bunch.
Fast forward, the 4 friends needed to grow and experience what love/relationship really means.

Greenest Flag of 2025
Can his flag can any greener??! Cuz daaaaamnHe’s one cheeky green flag.
One of the sweetest, charming, loving drama I've watched for 2025.
I know they are just acting, but their chemistry was through the roof.
Though it included a bit of "thriller", it was worth it.
A lot of messages are in this series.
When I say this man knows what love is and knows how to love, believe me!!!
Their love grew soooooo deep for each other.
I am glad the FL let go of all the negative persons in her life.
I just had to add, episode 21- bro was to eating her face up lol
Ummm, I just have to say it and its just me - the FL wardrobe, they could have done a better job.
A little scene in the last episode gave me WIFTY vibes and got me teary because this man will give up the world just to make her happy.
WRITER, THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING DRAMA!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Jo Bo Ah kills her role all the time!!! This was really good. I always to see Lee Jae Wook fighting. You could tell he liked her the first moment he saw her and fell for her because of how caring she is despite his identity. We most time see these married celebrities in dramas and their drama character either has no chemistry or limit the kissing/intimate scenes but this was not the case, she came to work lol and I admire that.It was a good storyline and each character played their role well especially Kim Jae Wook (might be my 5th drama I have watched with him).
What I didn't see was what happened after the Prince situation in the final episode - I thought they would try to find who did it? But maybe adding more characters would have made it draggy even though the focus was on Hong Rang and Jae I.
I am h@ater because I thought she was going to be pregnant to give us that bittersweet ending lol
Overall, it was a great watch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

A great Xianxia series!
The misunderstandings drove me crazy LOL and Li Qing Yue | Hua Ru Yue with her non stop plotting. This woman played with Bai Jiu Si so much. At some point, you had to wonder if this scene was real or not.In the midst of them always fighting with each other, you can clearly see still loved him despite all that happened and he never stopped loving her.
It did take a while for the whole truth to come out and while it was worth it. I won't speak on much and spoil it but that part regarding the time travelling item, was it just me who got confused and thought it was a crazy that whatever is changed in the past may not affect the future?
THAT JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME!!!!! I do understand that if changing the past would make everything perfect for the future but I don't think we would mind.
Overall it was great Xianxia series and the sound effect made the comedic scenes even more funny. They do have great chemistry and everyone played their role well.
Some part reminded me of Ashes of Love even though that is a wuxia series......

THEIR LOVE WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO STAY
I enjoy Ren’s work and always love his roles in historical dramas. This was a great drama and it had it ups and downs and maybe it’s just my preference.I would have loved to see more adventures between the Xuan Ye and Ban Xia like traveling outside of the city and then working as a team. I think that would have been dope.
That would have made the relationship blossomed so much more.
I won’t say much but the ending???!!! Y’all didn’t have to make me tear up because that was very heartbreaking to watch.
Like Why? They could have written their ending in a different way.
Am I the only one who thought their love wasnt strong enough?
OR hoping they would have shown a 12yrs later at the end???
At this point, we can only hope they waited for each other.

You will definitely laugh during each episodes
Seo Kang Joon is BACK!!!!! This was pretty good. Very funny. You will definitely laugh during each episodes.I loved he fit into being a high school student and from being in the NIS, the ghost stories, the friend he made, finding the gold, taking down the chairwoman to the little romance.
You won't see much romance just them liking each other as the series is more on the action comedy side.
I would have loved to see more about their relationship but I am not mad.
I still enjoyed it.

Love this fantasy drama!
This was good! There were No love triangles, 2 strong leads, comedic scenes, kissing scenes, pg intimate scenes, they have chemistry and my type of happy ending - wedding and kids.If you watched the CDrama called "A Dream within a Dream" they are a few similarities where the FL time traveled into the novel and the writer changing the script.....
I am glad to see Taec-yeon on screen again! Cant wait to see more of his upcoming roles

Worth the watch!
Can we talk about the leads on screen chemistry? I loved them. I had put off this drama for so long and finally decided to watch it. It was worth it!!!Nok Du came off as this strong character and remained that way. I always love a strong ML and then when he played "Lady Kim" it was hilarious LOL.
You could see that he liked Dong Joo when they met and he didn't give up but on the other side of it, he was still that caring, kind person and that came naturally because of how he grew up.
Dong Joo and Nok Du had their own mission and caused a few misunderstanding but I think because they are mature, they got through it.
I wont even talk about Grand Prince Neungyang (overly obsessed) and that King? Not even worth talking about. He is just "sick".
I am just happy that we didn't get any "unnecessary de@th$" in this drama.
After 9 years, they didnt start a family? Or did I miss something?
Overall, it was a great series - love, revenge, comedy and happy ending.

Strong ML with a clever FL
I gave this a solid 8/10. There were just some things I could't get pass.I loved Yining's character. She was clever, bold and stood up for herself. Despite growing up with the father's concubines who continuously plotted against her, she fought herself out of the situation. When she met Luo Shen Yuan after coming back home, they first developed a bond and wanted to help each other find the truth about wrongful deaths.
I won't say much on that part as you will need to watch it for yourself lol.
Now, Lu Jia Xue was obsessed to the very end. OMG he was sooooo determined lol and annoying with his actions.
What made me give this an 8/10 is because she kept calling in "third brother" to the very end. Like come on writers, you didn't have to make it so weird to the end. She should be now more mature and leaving that childish part behind her.
I am always here for perfect endings and we got it.
Overall, it was good - slow burn - lil romance at the end - a few comedic scenes....

Great Chemistry!
First time watching Ryan Cheng in a short drama and I agree he and the FL had great chemistry.I have watched Ke Ying in a few dramas before and she is a good actress.
I like short dramas because they are not draggy and the misunderstandings or the problems are solved in no time. It was a great watch and we got a little bit of action, romance and comedy.
