I am hooked!!! Once you start you won’t be able to stop!!!!
The ML and FL are new to me but their chemistry is really good! Story is easy to follow and characters very believable. The ML is super dreamy and extremely conflicted from the get go . - If only I had such a mentor when I just started work 😛. The FL is honest in her depiction as a newbie at work and romance.Started watching after rave reviews on TikTok and it is definitely worth watching. I’m now worried I’ll be running out of episodes very soon as once you start you can’t stop.
Liu Yu Ning’s opening tracks is soooo good!
Production value is good and supporting cast are great as well.
Finished this and have rewatched several times since. I’m a huge Jing Bo Ran fan now and find it hard to move one 😢

Feel good series
Started this after POJ and wanted to watch a Tian Xi Wei series. It was quite refreshing as there was no palace intrigue and the characters including the ML, Bai Jing Ting were all very lovable.However, it took me a while to stop it as I felt 49 episodes for this show was way too long.
In any case, I finished it. Good filler but won’t be rewatching.
Tian Xi Wei also look quite different here as this is a few years old.

Had to struggle through this one..
Started watching this as I wanted to watch a drama with Liu Yu Ning after POB. Story was ok and acting is good from the cast but j feel that the ML and FL lack real chemistry. Zhao Lu Si is a great actress don’t get me wrong.I was practically watching episodes 20-30 by fast forwarding as jt was so draggy but completed it anyway.
Music and production value good but will not be rewatching.
Only watch if you are either a Liu Yu Ning or Zhao Lu Si super fan.

First ever C Drama
This was was my first ever C- Drama which got me hooked to C-Dramas. The ML and FL are great together and have good chemistry. The second leads were just OK and personally found the cousin sister irritating.Music was excellent and introduced me to Liu Yu Ning as not only an actor but also a great singer.
Rewatched it several times and it was well done overall.
Story was solid as was production value.

Must watch!! Extremely addictive ?
I’ve only watched He Yu and Meng Zi Yi once in Speed and Love and Blossom and more a He Yu fan. Started watching this when I started running out of episodes of Key to the Phoenix Heart and absolutely no regrets!The ML and FL have excellent chemistry and now I’m an even a bigger fan of He Yu. He is totally believable as an ailing Crown Prince and his shameless pursuit of the FL.
In saying that you just have to go with the rebirth story but watch it for a great cast and production value. There are many good looking actors so worth it for eye candy value 😛
Hoping for a good ending 🙏

Took of with a bang and refreshing! Rooting for the FL as she is all about female empowerment
Started Blossom through the Cloud as I ran out of episodes of The Early Spring 😅 and it did not disappoint!I have watched both ML and FL in supporting roles in Only For Love and The Double respectively and wasn’t impressed with them because of their characters. I must say they are solid in the roles here and saw a spark as early in the first episode. Early days now but I’m absolutely rooting for the FL. Extremely annoyed with the ML thinking that she was interested in him when she was merely wanting to achieve her dreams of being a pilot.
Will be watching as I want her to succeed and can’t wait to see the ML eat his words 😛
Production value is good and will be updating my comment as I progress. I also notice that a lot of modern dramas only have 24 episodes now.

Watching because of FL and ML
I have loved Chen Zhe Yuan and Wu Jing Yan since Fated Hearts/Hidden Love and The Double respectively. Started watching purely because of leads and will push through.I do feel that the production value is low and sometimes the scenes seem rather abrupt, not sure if it’s an editing issue or just how the screenplay was written.
Though both ML and FL are good actors, I’m still struggling with their chemistry. Maybe it’s still early in the episodes as Cdramas are all about slow burn but I felt the chemistry between Wu Jing Yan and Wang Xing Yue much earlier in The Double.
Also somewhat disappointed that the ML voice over wasn’t done by him as his voice sounds way better.
Last but not least, the subtitles on Mango TV are absolutely atrocious. ML’s name translates to Hal?? 😓

Hou Ming Hao doesn’t disappoint but…
I’m a huge Hou Ming Hao fan after watching him in Love in the Clouds. I’ve struggled to find another series since that matches his styling and chemistry with FL since.Hou Ming Hao never disappoints and led this series despite I feel not great direction and poor production value - their outfits seemed very garish looking (cheap polyester feel). The soundtrack sang by him is excellent.
My first exposure to Ai Mi was when she was in The Double. She’s a good actress and believable in her role. However the chemistry between ML and FL is lacking - I feel largely because this drama only had 28 episodes and felt somewhat rushed. At the same time there was a lot of controversy given her age so no affectionate scenes which is understandable.
This drama had more potential I feel as there were good actors and actresses. I also look forward to seeing more of Ai Mi in lead roles.

Gripping from the get go! Pace is good and routing for FL!!
6 episodes in and the plot thicken! Each episode moves fast and there’s no dull moments. First time watching Xu Kai and he doesn’t disappoint. He plays Yan Rui, an official who fights corruption but has a past with the FL. He is tough with everyone except for the FL and love when he saved her from the wretched Nanny! It was so fulfilling watching her get whipped 😆Zhou Ye’s female lead is sly and brave, someone who’s determined to clear her mother’s name. She looks really pretty as I’ve only seen her with light make up in LOTFG. Her acting is on point and she is no damsel in distress. She plays a daughter born into a noble family but left the family with her mother when her mother was falsely accused.
Chemistry is building and seems very natural.
There is a huge cast, so far the Xie family alone is enough to make my head spin. The production value is high as scene from costumes and backdrop.
Also refreshing that the ML and FL did their own dubbing so we hear their voices.
Will update this review as I watch more episodes.

This drama is such a gem!! Highly recommend!!!
Watching this because I became a Tian Xi Wei fan after Pursuit of Jade and she doesn’t disappoint!Have just finished 3 episodes and this drama is so refreshing. The scenes when they were younger were so sweet and touching. I have watched Hu Yi Tian before in Blossoms of Adversity and didn’t think much of him but he truly shines here. The chemistry between ML and FL is really good just in the first few episodes.
The sibling rivalry scenes are also very realistic and relatable. School scenes bring me back to school days and how some kids can be really mean 😢
Production value is great and the music thus far has been really good.
Can’t wait to see how it ends!

Super fun . Tian Xi Wei like you’ve never seen before! I’m worried I started this too soon!!!
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this drama to drop and it does not disappoint!! Tian Xi Wei in dual roles, Wei Rao a cruel, ruthless noblewoman and Ah Chou, a night soil collector - poles apart but she plays them so well. I’m keen to see how she navigates through this with her sheer wit and shrewdness.First time watching Yan An, and he’s playing the love hate relationship with the FL very well. They’ve made a pact to pretend to stay married for a year. I’m not familiar with the story but it doesn’t matter. 4 episodes went by in a flash as it was so much fun to watch. The numbers of slaps in the first episode was 😅
Production value is high and love the music as well thus far. The ladies in the supporting roles are all gorgeous as are the men good looking ☺️.
Love that this is in Netflix as the subtitles are much better!!

This series is a gem!! Great story, pace and acting!!!
Started this because I ran out of episodes for Spring of the Blade. The first 2 episodes were bleak but once you get pass it there’s no turning back!First time watching this ML and FL and they are very good in their roles. Supporting actors and actresses also excel with good production value.
Some characters are so menacing that it is scary to watch. I must say I’m looking forward to see how this develops. 47 episodes in all which I pretty rare these days.
Despite that the pace does not feel slow and it is extremely addictive. Be forewarned once you start you won’t be able to stop.
Edit: Just watched the library scene and it was pure cat and mouse!! Absolutely thrilling!!

Cheng Lei is made for this era type of dramas!
My first Republican era drama and does not disappoint. Loving the costumes and sets which reminds me of the VR games that were played in Love Between the Lines!I’m a fan of Cheng Lejt but have only ever watched him in historical dramas. I must say he is oozing charisma in this genre. As Fifth Master Yu, he comes from a world of power and privilege. It is clear that there are unresolved issues between his father and him which I am keen to understand.
Xu RuoHan who I watched once in The Best Thing also looks very suited in this particular era. I can already feel the chemistry between the ML and FL, if I dare say better chemistry between her and Cheng Lei is better than Zhang Ling He. She is clearly worlds apart from Fifth Master Yu but their worlds are about to collide.
