You are gifted..I even shared with my friend..I spent the whole morning.. scrolling through your old reviews.. My friend also does write so I told him ..your reviews are like his but on steroids and a pinch of opium

Thank you for adding Zhang Zhehan..he will never be forgotten

The Thai version was the best in my books..seem the Chinese but it was a bit clean(bullying there is very sensitive issue) but Thai went all in and the acting from the ML stole the show

Try the Thai version..to me it's the best of them all..

thank you

Good call.
I read your reviews whenever I see them because of the writing..It's unique,I never saw anything like this..Kudos

I’ve been missing your reviews like my morning coffee, didn’t realize how much until now. Honestly, I have no idea how I ended up here, but I’m 90% sure it’s because I was following Xu Kai Cheng like a detective with a crush, thanks to " A Female Student Arrives at Imperial College" Somewhere along the trail, all the reviews and comments went off the rails (and not in a fun way).

So glad I stumbled onto this little goldmine, it’s convinced me to finally watch it and make my own judgment. And you know what they say: when women’s groups start ringing alarm bells about “inappropriate behavior,” that’s basically a spoiler alert for something interesting is about to happen..And you convinced me that something good actually happens

Why is this drama rated low? I have been laughing hard for 7 episodes

Ep.21 Update

I was looking for costume drama that
has comedy,no unnecessary deaths,court politics, countless harems,angst or sadness and I think this delivered..ZLS has never failed to entertain.. sometimes I wonder if she has her own mental script other than what the director gave her..Adding Ao RuiPeng in the mix was extra..It's not perfect,it's not technical or the best cinematic out there but it was just what the doctor ordered .

FINAL UPDATE:

A Female Student Arrives At Imperial College
Overall rating: 8.6
30 episodes

No magic/fantasy ✔️
Strong FL with 4 brain cells ✔️
No unnecessary deaths ✔️
Happy Ending ✔️
No Toxic court politics ✔️
A good amount of skinship (I know it's historical but I can dream) 🆗
CP who communicate and work well ✔️
Avoid every FL with Esther Yu voice(love her but not the voice) ✔️
Minimal Harems(3) ✔️
The Message about allowing women to study ✔️
Comedy 1000/10 ✔️

What I didn't like(personal opinion)

The worse villain I have ever seen❌
The Emperor just signs everything good or bad ❌
The fighting scenes (Blossoms In Adversity kicked ass) ❌
Investigation that went on way too long ❌

Someone suggest another Xu Khai Cheng Drama that is really good

👌🏽

Are we talking about the same drama I watched? 15 episodes out of 65 ok .anyway your opinion but from someone who has watched 265 dramas,I think this is the first time I sit through 65 episodes without blinking

Please someone give this man more works and lead roles..He has the it factor and for sure he is waaay better than many leads I have seen

I couldn't agree more..I have seen him in Close To You and Marry me Mr Xing and I wish he gets recognition soon

Someone give Wu Bo Wei more works please..Thank you

That was for the records LOL.. Even looking at the synopsis..it gives me anxiety..nope

Ohh how did you know, I just saw a "Destiny" pass my screen..who knows "You are My destiny" might be the next candidate just after Blossoms Shanghai.. Creativity gone rogue

Am literally judging myself for bashing the FL out and then watching cos I love idol themed dramas and the ML was good

I just finished it lol
Cringe fest? Yes
A filler for in between shows? Also Yes
I had dismissed it due to the FL looking like she is 12 but when I actually activated my auto focus mode,and ignored her tiny everything,we sailed quietly.The ML was an actual surprise, his acting range was good,probably because he has done lots of Historicals which gives him an edge.Now I need to see his other works.

Giving her the flowers for "Blosson in Adversity" It got me out of historical slump of 2025
