That BL was crazy but entertaining

The acting was really good and this BL got me hooked for more each week. The eclipse was so bad to me and really boring, but I liked First and Khao pairing. This was so much better and their chemistry is so good.

All the drama in this BL, I was shocked many times and it kept me entertained. All the couples have great chemistry to me and it was spicy, which is rare for GMMTv drama.

I was rooting for Boston, but in the end he disappointed me. Happy Nick choose to love himself, I was proud of him even if I was rooting for Boston and Nick most of the drama. Happy that the other couples got their happy ending

made it to my top 5 favorite modern cdrama

I’m obsessed with Wei Zhe Ming these days and I love fake dating/marriage trope, so I started this drama. I don’t regret it at all, I loved it. I don’t understand people saying they don’t have chemistry, for me they have amazing chemistry and were literally perfect for each other.

I liked it from beginning to end, no breakup for the main couple and a perfect ending. Made me laugh, giggle and smile a lot :) When a drama makes me tear up from happiness, then it’s one of the good one for me. It was interesting when I finally understood the title of the drama, it was not only about her comic but like he represents « perfect » and she’s « casual » ;)

They added the usual « love triangle trope » with people who have one sided love for the leads, which I usually hate, but it wasn’t that bad in this drama. They didn’t drag it for to many episodes like often happens in drama. Mr. Meng was mature and back down when he realized they both liked each other for real, was happy for them and thought they were perfect for each other. For once, I didn’t really hate the second lead (he annoyed me at first but it became better), he was understanding and his presence made funny scene and got ML jealous to finally sort out his feelings. For the girl who liked ML, I love that he was clear with her and when he didn’t agree to hug her

This ML was the best, a green flag, a great husband and was so good to her even when they were in a fake relationship. I loved it when he was saying he was her husband. One of my favorite ML ever

The main couple have great communication, they don’t let misunderstanding happen or drag. We could also see the development, like their kiss started awkward, then shy and finally more passionate kiss.

I love the grandpa and their relationship with him, I was tearing up in the last ep, glad we didn’t suffer his death (even if we know it’s coming)

The secondary couples weren’t bad either, I was happy for her sister, pregnant and everything. They are a good match too. For her friend, it’s more an open ending, I wish we could have seen them reunite.

I recommend this drama. I think for a modern romance drama and this kind of plot, 24 eps is perfect, not to many dragging plot or episodes like dramas with like 30-40 eps sometimes have.

Not bad for a short drama

I usually don’t watch short drama, but this wasn’t bad. The plot was okay, I was a bit bored sometimes.

Finally a drama with absolutely no useless and annoying love triangle, thanks for that

The acting was really good and the costumes were great. Also the leads have amazing chemistry with hot kisses. This guy really know how to kiss ahah he has passionate kiss in all his dramas I saw videos of, he’s like the king of short drama too ahah He’s a good actor and so handsome. I will check his other drama for sure, but the one with happy ending

I had a feeling the brother was a bad guy and I was right, that was predictable

A bit disappointed we didn’t get to see a grandson at the end, they kept mentioning it

But I like the ending, a happy ending that wasn’t too short

I would recommend this short drama

Entertaining I guess

Don't go into this expecting a masterpiece. But still got some entertainments and we got some funny moments. And some unhinge dialogues. I will only say recent examples since they are fresh in mind. But like I chuckled with Jun at the end when the brother was like ''I heard Sorn is good in bed, is it true'' Or sorn telling them how he help Jun pleasuring himself when he was younger. Like bro

Main couple : They had chemistry. If you are into this (not gonna lie, just like me ahaha), they gave really good and hot NC scenes. Mostly good (and often very aggressive btw ahah) kissing scenes. We got the spice almost every eps. I think they did pretty good in term of acting in the sad scenes. Sorn looked the best with his hair down. The NC in the bathroom, when Jun tied up his hair mid make out session, that was hot.
I would have like to see more of a mature, long term relationship moments or something. More of them building a real relationship in the last episode.

If they do another BL together, I would watch it, they are a decent pairing

Second couple : Had absolutely no chemistry. They were very awkward to watch, especially the NC scenes and kissing scenes in general. The NC scene in the last ep was unhinge and almost funny. When I saw the tongue and the finger in the mouth, I was like omg👀😅
had no interest in them. So they get engaged in the last ep ? oh it was grandma's ring, I am sorry, that ring is ugly.

Third couple : They were not interesting and we got almost nothing. They were never seen again, not much to say. I think the NC scenes were just okay.

Everyone doing it in the office and even the HR gal, was pretty insane ahah Work plot line was just there. more making out than office work.

What is the use of the emergency star cases you guess ? it's the make out place

Liked the friendship

Should you watch ? why not

the best part for me was the comment section here on kisskh every week, I've got some good laugs

decent at best but

this is not the hight budget kind of drama with idol or popular known actor.

The first few eps were good to hook you and getting your interested. FL’s character was pretty great. ML fumble in the last part, but he wasn’t bad in general

Maybe a bit lacking in wig department, costumes were okay

This has some very annoying side characters and women, but also some support characters that we can appreciate. Like ML’s younger brother and his wife, fl’s friend. Also when they learn the truth, ML’s sister became a good character. His mom wasn’t that bad.

Acting was okay to me.

it was annoying how ML’s parents believed the scheme so easily

Their son was cute. We got some good moments with the son and when they were all spending time together with the others too.

I like how ML know very early on that he misunderstood FL in the past and that it’s his son.

The drama become pretty annoying and more boring as we progress, but one thing that I always appreciate was how the leads were working together and pretty much talking honestly and not hiding or almost hiding nothing. thought that was refreshing a couple starting anew, working together, getting to trust each other and all of that. But they ruined all of that in the last 4 eps, that was such a trash scrip. So you are telling me, after all we saw of them together and how much FL suffered before, ML decide a plan behind her back by divorcing her, marry that princess and hurting her ???? THE HELL made no sense. They could have saved this by making FL part of the plan. What was the writers thinking

I appreciate how they made a little scene with ML’s sister and FL’s friend at the end hinting at them getting together. we didn’t get much, but they were cute

Also, no good characters or the ones that we liked died.

Happy ending, but why did we never say again their son ??? Weird

okay one time watch

gonna be a short review😂😂

I almost dropped it after the first episode, character acting like teerak and more « toddler » (gonna use the expression I’ve seen one the comments 😂) annoys me often, but I endured.

didn’t like how they went with Oh’s character and his ending, felt no pity or sympathy for him when they showed his story with his mother. A stalker, an harasser, name it… still make me mad how teerak was mostly calm talking to him. « thank you for liking me but » why do characters even say things like this and why was he apologizing to him.

so it was mostly a simple plot.

Liked the friendship

Liked the bond between teerak and his sister, just like Fah and Lee

Second couple was good, many complainted they didn’t have enough screentime, I would have like to see more too, but they are only a side couple, I think it was okay.

No breakup, that was good. they went with the conflit with teerak family. that was sad and hard to watch, the dad lashing out was almost scary. Things like this happens in real life. It was interesting how they went and not the usual breakup, but still adding a bit of conflict

Chemistry and skinship was good. I was surprised, they gave us really good kissing scenes and even nc scenes

So, not a masterpiece, not horrible, it was an okay watch to pass time, the friendship, families, romance and chemistry was good

Didn’t meet my expectations and not enough romance

The first few eps were a bit annoying and too childish leads.

Useless love triangle (well always useless and annoying to me, but sometimes can make more sense. Here, zero point, both the leads still very much with each other), also the casting wasn’t good. SML looked way too young

Too much filler and time spend on side characters. I think we didn’t get enough scenes between the leads and romance throw the 12 eps. But yeah, I think with the damn ex-lover/childhooh trope, it’s not surprising. I think the things related to their families was important to the plot, but other things could have been cut and gave more screentime to the leads together.

I think the chemistry was decent and we still got some cute romanctic moments. It definitely became better to me when we reached half way. They looked good together. Didn’t see anything wrong with the acting

I liked grandpa and FL relationship. I just liked grandpa actually. Poor guy, felt so sad for him when we learned the betrayal of the guy he was calling son.

ML’s dad, he was annoying for a while, but everything worked out in the end. Reconciliation and they are all becoming a family. In the end, he didn’t really hate the grandpa, I saw it later on almost as 2 siblings rivalry or something

ML’s mom was a sweetheart. Actually kind and sweet woman, don’t know how she’s tolerating her husband😂😂

I liked how the leads got together relatively early and no breakup.

The younger version and the flashbacks, they did really good with the back story and the younger cast. Surprisingly, I loved the flashbacks. My heart broke for them. They love each other a lot, at last they found each other again

The friend didn’t deserved forgiveness at all, didn’t like how they went with this plot line. And they give an open ending with a potential love interest at the very end with the knew guy…. Like no.

All the mystery with the nurse and student was mostly nonsense and could have been written out. The couple with the other teacher though, kinda cute, but we didn’t really get anything

The 2 students, it was like a mirror, a throw back of the leads. A bit similar story and their ending déjà vu ahaha very short moments, but also kinda cute, I would have wanted more of that instead of other subplot

Disappointed with didn’t get a wedding (just some wedding photoshoot). But gave a funny moment, that was a real romcom moment😂😂 also, the wedding dress was horrible. I would like to know who chose the wardrobe of FL for the drama

Happy ending. Last ep was decent. Was more on the leads I would say and close up for side plot.

Ost was very good, I need it on Spotify ahaha

Anyway, I think it was an okay romcom to pass time and enjoyable in general. I think it got better as we progressed. Found it better than some other romcom this year that ended up disappointing me (like My sweet mobster, Miss day and night or no gain no love)

I’ve seen worst and I’ve seen better.

so, what to say. first off the positive :
1) Great kissing scenes
2) I think the acting was good, especially ML’s actor, I think he is great with his expressions, sad scenes, etc.
3) I think chemistry was okay, but nothing wow
4) no love triangle
5) seconds leads are actually good and kind people, they made a cute couple, didn’t meddle with the leads or anything
6) great ending. a clear and not too short happy ending. it’s rare a satisfying ending for a short drama, even more a republican era drama.
7) I think it was pretty equal ? How to explained, both of them were ready to die and sacrifice themselves for each other
8) for once it’s not a revenge drama, FL working for an organization (like a cop if we can saw), so fighting for beliefs and the people?

so now :
1) I think this was mostly boring ? the story wasn’t really anything exciting. the villains pretty boring
2) misunderstandings for more than 3/4 of the drama. misunderstanding cleared in ep 20-21 out of 24.
3) pretty slow to get together. first date in ep 22-23 after misunderstanding clear, so dating era for what, 3 eps max ? Well I saw this, it isn’t like this for most mini drama😂
4) FL’s organisation, I don’t know that felt flat to me
5) the costumes were really bad for the women


I’ve seen things on TikTok. I don’t excuse ML behavior, but like seriously. She lied to him and used him (while undercover) and he thought his father died because of her…. So that’s that. That was not the worst I’ve seen in a mini drama

Anyway, could have been better, it wasn’t horrible. It’s short to pass time

must watch

this drama has many good things
1) beautiful cinematography and beautifully shot (the fighting scenes, in the first ep the arrow scenes before they go back, the dream scenes, the shots with the petals, etc….). Well directed
2) acting was good from the leads. They did well for emotional scenes too. Also the supporting and older cast, I really like the portrayal of the emperor, I think the actor was great. Also other cast from the families of the leads.
3) the romance : it flowed nicely. them slowly falling in love, mature romance, trust, supporting each other. would do anything for each other and so much love. Good chemistry. I think compared to other cdrama, we got plenty of romance and cute moments. Also feeling confessed by ep 18 and married by ep 19 out of ep 34, I think that was very good. Less slow burn than many dramas this year. Absolutely no break or misunderstanding, strong couple till the end.
4) the transmigration/time travel was well written. I think « the dream » idea was very smart to pass censorship and very minimal since it was still obvious for us viewers that it was not a dream and they really went back in time. and only mentioned at the beginning of the story. I hate it when they do something like it was a novel or something, they add that at the very end to pass censorship.
5) I think the drama was well written in general, the plot was good, pretty fast pace, everything was going smoothly. as the story progressed, we were learning more about the villains, getting clues, etc… We got a bit of everything, some comedy, romance, action and more sad/emotional moments. ML and his uncle, mother (the pain from the deaths and seeing the flashbacks). When ML was dying, our sad couples moments, there was a pretty emotional ep, I don’t remember the number ahah but I was sad with the leads, they love each other so much. I think all the villains and their motive made senses. Like the 5th uncles who wanted his higher title (but still cared about the Dou family and his brother. I actually liked his death and I was almost sad. I think it was the scenes, the contexte and his brother/« lover » present. in the end, decided to do one last thing to protect his younger brother). The empress and her son, etc.. I actually enjoyed the political plot, I think it was interesting and I also think the villains were interesting.
6) great fighting scenes
7) Friendship. Between the girls, even the maids. ML and his guys, etc…
8) The character development of FL dad. how their story progressed and their reconciliation. He grow some bones, finally defending his daughter, standing up for his son-in-law (the drums moment), etc…
9) we got some diverse side arc/romance :
a)the sister and husband from the first life : I was feeling sad for Dou Ming. she was an asshole in her first life, but kind and gentle in her second life, she never did her sister wrong. But falling in love with the wrong guy. Not a complete trash in this life, but still a coward, a bad husband and a useless guy. Not gonna lie, they were kinda cute. She suffered a lot and her death was a bit infuriating. Dying like that and seeing her trash husband from afar drinking. Dying alone on the floor when she could have been saved. Anyway, I said KARMA when it happened, their bad deed in their first life and her mother sins. It was satisfying, the mom reaction and everything, learning she caused her own daughter’s dead. It was good how her dad didn’t even want to save her and she should be punished for her crimes. I laughed when he slapped her. Speaking of slapped, there was so many throughout the drama, that was hilarious to me.
b) An Su and Song Han : that arc made me mad. I was very mad at her for choosing/siding with the guy she barely knows against her friends for years. She was very stupid and easily manipulated at first. Their story was not interesting and making her a princess made no sense as she was literally a nobody/commoner. At last, it was satisfying when she learned the truth and killed him herself.
c) Chen Jia and Zhao Zhang Ru (FL’s cousin) : brief interactions, but they were very cute. They got their happy ending
d) the little past with the princess (sister of the emperor) and 5th uncle
e) the crown prince and crown princess. brief interactions too, but they were kinda funny at time and seemed like a good match. That was funny when they were the 4 of them and she mentioned the idea of betrothal between their unborn child, CP and ML reaction.
f)…maybe there is more ahaha
10) plot twist :
a) the fact that the dad (ML’s dad had an affair and switched the babies), didn’t saw that coming. How they explained he never loved his wife and the son they had, why he preferred Song Han. It was sad when he said those things to Song Mu. The sister was actually dead it seems, I was waiting for some plot twist and she’s alive + plus reunion, but that never happened. Anyway I think we had enough things going on ahaha
b) Ji Yong who was actually not with Prince Qing, all of this was a plan from the beginning with the emperor
c) the nephew of the empress who didn’t betrayed them
d) even the thing with the cat with Song Han, I think it was good that he was actually keeping the cat because he was using it for testing poison. I didn’t thought of that
e) the scenes when they were searching for the letter with the girl who was the maid, the flashbacks and reliving the scene and the letter that was hiding so close to them.
f) all the villains who were working together
11) villains getting what they deserved and punishment.
12) ending : great and satisfying ending. Closure for everyone and happy ending of course. Cute together and happy couple moments. Dad with his promotion, grandma being happy and travelling, them with the leads daughter was cute. Crown prince ascending the throne and the little monologue about the politics. Chen Jia and the cousin married couple. An Su doing her things and « looking for a husband ». Ji Young who will become a monk in this life too. Even them showing the kid of ML’s uncle
13 : no love triangle. We can say some side guys on liked FL, but that was very minimal, that’s not considered a love triangle. FL only has eyes for ML from beginning to end.

But, I think the kissing scenes weren’t great. I don’t know if it was a director’s choice, censorship or because the kisses were not so good (so they made it that way), but they were somehow disappointing for most of them. Pretty much cut short or we see nothing. The lips touched and them it’s all these camera angles and editing. Anyway just an observation, I wouldn’t call this an issue, I’ve seen way worst.

Also, the character of Mu (I don’t even remember if that’s the good name, but the guy at the beginning who liked FL). I think this character and arc was just completely useless and non interesting. Why did we need this useless side guy who had unrequited love. He personally annoyed me. At least, his presence was short. Even when it seemed like Ji Young liked FL, that was very annoying, can’t they just be friend?

So, to conclude, I would recommend, I think it’s a good watch, filled with romance, actions, intelligent leads, interesting plot and characters

probably underrated

This was too long, but not a bad watch. A few weeks later, I’m finally done ahaha

- surprisingly, I wasn’t annoyed by the back and fourth, repetitive things, the issues between them, etc… maybe watching this over a few weeks help, none of this was really annoying to me like it would usually do.
- I love the ost so much (at this point it’s now even an argument 😂😂I say this for almost every drama)
- Both leads did good for the acting, I don’t really like ML’s actor for some unknown reasons ahah but I liked him here. FL’s actress is pretty good. I remember 2 dramas with her that I never finished, « Use for my talent » and « meteor garden ». the emotional scenes were well executed, the crying scenes also looked real to me
- I liked the romance between the leads, the development of their relationship. they both had their flaws and grow to be better. They helped, supported and loved each other very much. Their romance was pretty sweet, gave us good sweet moments through the drama. It took a while for officially getting together, but we got some good moments long before that. The kissing scenes weren’t bad and we got a few
- It was a lot focus on the leads which I liked (still a bit of filler with side characters though, I’ll get back to it)
- I loved FL’s mom so much. she was such a good character. Kind, sweet, understanding. I liked her conversations with ML and FL. Her advice too. Her scenes with the leads were really good, their sweet memories. She became close to ML almost like a mom, the portrait he painted of her and the like display with the pictures, I loved that. I cried when she died
- I liked the friendships
- the comedy show were not funny at all, maybe a few joke that actually weren’t bad, but very very few
- I was anticipating the second couple after few meetings with them and I was mad when I learned they didn’t even end up together (open ending) when I was what, maybe pass half way. But in the end, didn’t really felt anything. I was mad at her at some point. Anyway their story ended up being disappointing and annoying. we got almost nothing (think they didn’t get enough screentime to develop correctly their story or maybe it was how they wrote it). did we even get one good sweet scene of them while they were dating ? I remember nothing. we got a kiss, I think that was before becoming a couple ? The only thing I remember is that we only saw problems. The issues with her non biological parents, her job, her lying to him. I felt bad for him how he was trying to be more « suitable » for her (because her trash parents didn’t find him suitable for her, too low and wanted them to break up), working more jobs to get money, etc… She was suffering too, but at some point I was annoyed, she had no spine letting her parents control everything in her life, etc.. I never understand in drama when they have their trash controlling parents and in the end, « oh they are my parents, blah blah blah » nothing happens and they stay with them. Just like in Fireworks of my heart.
- FL’s boss and the guy (her ex that SFL worked with) : that was complete filler to me and wasn’t interesting at all in the end. It wasn’t written interesting. there was no point to give us that, it lead nowhere, except maybe them finally moving on ? That should have been removed from the story
- It was funny when ML came back and started to get better. He was like a changed man and we got some good funny scenes
- very minimal love triangle. At some point he annoyed me a bit because I was like « stop confessing bro, she doesn’t like you and you even know it », it tooked him what 2-3times before that was over. Still not really much happened, it was coworkers, friendship and seriously not much scenes just the 2 of them. Also FL only had eyes for ML since the beginning. here it was like love at first sight between the leads. His presence created some jealousy moments.
- no unnecessary problems between the leads in the last few eps that we get in some dramas. Their relationship was strong after they got together. No breakup, I think their was no problems between them (I forgot already ahah)
- I liked the last scene of the drama, the dialogue, love confession and proposal. that was a good speech from FL

kinda mid but still good

it took me a while to finish, I started while it was airing at the beginning. At last got more interesting pass ep 30.
I wouldn’t recommend to someone who wants to watch this only for romance, the romance was mostly a side plot and slow burn. It was more at the end. We’ll get back to it.

The good for me :
- the acting from everyone I would say
- the music
- the costumes, makeup and hair. Everything was good and pretty
- cinematography and setting were good
- both FL and ML are very good and interesting characters. Smart, strong in their own way, beautiful and capable. Them working together. I like how they overturn the evil people plans and were often on step ahead. Like against concubine and the aunt. ML can fight.
- no annoying problems or misunderstandings between the leads
- I was particularly interested in ML story. How he rises to his position, getting first place in the exams one by one and become top scholar
- I think my fav thing about this drama is Duke Ying. Probably became my fav character, I loved him a lot. Such a good and caring dad, a good person, etc… Awnn how he cried when she got married. When they first met, how he seemed nervous and rearranging his clothes and hat. Such a good and refreshing character. Also… for a “middle age men” he was hot ahahaha
- the relationship between FL and her father and biological family. How she got close to her siblings. I liked every interactions of FL and her dad
- I love both grandma
- I really loved the mother character, how she both cared for them as her own children. She’s a good mom and good person.
- second couple was cute I guess even if I didn’t really like them much
- The wedding was beautiful, even if trash guy interrupted.
- happy ending, pretty good and decent ending. Wasn’t rushed and it’s good we got to see them with a kid. The last scene with everyone was very good, seeing the siblings and cousins back (we haven’t seen them since first master wife exile I think). Satisfying everyone on good terms and happy I guess (not really the dad for me, but we have to accept it)
- the last few eps were good and exciting for the most part

Negatives point for me :
- I feel like this at some point for almost every cdramas, even more 40 eps dramas (that’s very long), it get dragging and boring at some point in the middle mostly. But here, not gonna lie, I was bored a lot compared to normally even with the great leads characters. I watched a lot at 1,5-2x. The beginning was good, we were getting to know the characters, ML doing the exams, but I was bored and then after ep 30 got more interesting again. 5 eps+ could have been cut and that could’ve help. 40 eps was too long, Maybe this kind of drama was not for me. Felt slow at time, a lot of talking, scheming family members and not much action. little ML actions moments and fighting were good though. I watched before some cdramas maybe a bit more oriented on family and less on romance too, but I was more hooked. I honestly can’t point out why I wasn’t that into the drama. Maybe if I watched it last years or at another time it could have been different, I will never know
- Personally it was too long for the reveal (it dragged for me, but not surprise Cdramas writers almost always drag things), almost ep 30. FL with her biological family was one of the best thing, we could have got 5 more eps of that at least
- ML dad, he was trash, treated them badly for years, no consequences whatsoever, redemption arc. He became just fine all of the sudden and happy with them at the end
- I don’t think the romance was that good. I say some chemistry and enjoyed scenes. They were cute together though. Few peck kisses and hugs, bed scene was cute, they also look good together
- SML was such a lame and annoying character. The actor did a good job I would still say, he’s handsome and a good actor, second time I see him. He was doing the annoying guy with unrequited love in “A date with the future”. The guy had nothing going on except being obsessed with FL, wanted to be with her and force her. It the only thing I will remember him has. Did he even do anything else ? I honestly don’t remember, wasn’t paying much attention since I just find him annoying and uninteresting. He could have been an interesting character maybe if his point was not only being obsessed with FL. he still got some good moments against ML. Every scene was just repetitive and annoying at some point, I was rolling my eyes at the end. Him and FL “running into each other”, the same interactions all over again through the episodes. It wasn’t necessary… But at least he wasn’t that present and FL was pretty clear. I liked how she wasn’t swamped by him and was trying to keep distance and didn’t care about him. He was delusional till the end. Kidnapping her on her wedding night… that was too much…. and was not needed. Ah can’t stand this guy. At least he’s dead, but kinda easy death… and why did they make him die saving her, just nah
- I’m sorry, but the worst things in all of this for me was FL calling him THIRD BROTHER till the very end, even when they are a couple, married and with a kid! it was already kinda turned off for me to enjoy the developing romance because she still called him “brother” after she find out he was not her brother. that was just so weird to me that she called him that till the end, I don’t know why they wrote this
- FL’s voice is not that bad, people were exaggerating. Maybe a bit at first, but got over it pretty fast. not something to make you drop at all

I still rated it pretty high regardless of these because of the positive point

So since the leads are great and the plot is interesting in general, friendship and good family moments, happy ending, I would recommend

Miles Wei never disappoints me

I think this is a pretty good light and enjoyable romcom

what I liked :
- I think the leads have such good chemistry, we could feel it from the beginning. I liked their little moments and they had some good scenes even before finally dating
- I think the clothes looked good and it was interesting to see them wearing more than once the same clothes, don’t know if it was a budget problem ahah but it looked real to me (like you don’t always wear different clothes in life)
- I absolutely loved the music
- I think the acting was good
- the leads looks good together
- very good skinship, kiss and intimate scenes between the leads
- the sister was a bit annoying me at first but she grow on me and matured. Her couple with the director was cute
- no breakup, but they got together pretty late ahaha
- the cat❤️ it was cute and it was funny creating moments and opportunities for ML to get close to her because of it. They were like parents and ML who said he didn’t like the cat at the beginning and didn’t want to keep it. He ended up loving it and him when they picked it up after the filming ended. asking all these questions, being mad and concerned ahah man loves his cat
- no toxic parents. Both leads have good and kind parents. They also got along well rapidly. ML who is from a rich and known family, but his parents don’t care about who he dates, they liked FL and we’re just happy he was in love/dating someone. Also supportive, like with SFL with her acting career
- no love triangle (we saw a bit a another guy, but I wouldn’t call this a love triangle and the purpose to make ML jealous)
- I really liked the ending and the last scene of the drama, I think it was beautiful
- watching their story and romance made me smile a lot
- Made me emotional when he read her old post and found out that she loved him for many years

But :
- I think it was too long before getting officially together, took 18 eps/24(we literally already knew from the first ep they both like each other). I get FL (what he said was hurtful with the rejection even if she’s not totally faultless because of her response to him asking why she loved him I think, in the moment don’t think he believed she actually loved him), ML needed to grovel a bit. But I think it got a bit old FL rejection and playing « hard to get ». At least we still got many moments before they started dating for real
- I’m sorry but SML… his hair was so distracting to me, it looked so bad

I absolutely recommend this drama

Could've been better

The best thing about this drama :
- The acting : the main were amazing and they portrayed the emotions of their characters really well.
- The chemistry was amazing
- The music

But, I feel like it dragged and the end was really rushed. So I was disappointed.
I was expecting their first kiss so much, but how it was filming and edited, it wasn't good in the end. And I didn't really feel it.
Feel like also it was so sudden, they spend the night together and they are already boyfriends. Also, very rush in the last ep with the illness. They showed us nothing and at the very end we assumed that he got his surgery and he is fine. They live happily together. And I'm disappointed there wasn't an actual scene with the sister and her child.
Also, it felt like a mashup of scenes together of them dating to give us something. The flow and editing was weird.

Also, the love scene was disappointing for me, the loud music and the flashback in between.

So, not the best bl I've scene, but it has some good

Probably one of the best drama I've seen

There are so many good things about this drama. Like every drama, there are some flaws, but this drama is still amazing.

1) The acting :
- The leads were amazing, their acting was top notch and we could feel the emotions.
- I think the acting was awesome from everyone, the side characters and the villains did a really good job. Shen Yu Rong, as much as we hate this guy, the actor was great, the princess too.

2) The leads :
- The chemistry was fire, we could feel it from their first encounter
- One of my favorites leads ever : Strong, intelligent and bad ass. I love them so much
- ML was handsome as hell, I love his character and his charisma. He was a cold character, but never an asshole to FL. I love how he was being proud and watching her when she was being badass. He helped her when needed.
- FL : Beautiful, smart, she deserved the world after what she went through.
- Their relationship : I absolutely loved the evolution of their relationship and the romance. I'm not a fan of slow burn, so I would have liked more scenes of them and maybe them getting together a few eps sooner, but it was done well. And we still knew they already liked each other. All their scenes were so good, the chemistry, the tension, the love. All the little details too and symbolism with some of the scenes. I love how they slowly opened up to each other, trusting each other, helping each other and working together. They are truly soulmate and perfect for each other. I also liked how they can be themself when they are for each other. Also, as much as ML was wiped, he didn't become a stupid guy in love. At some point, I wish we would see more ML, he wasn't that present in the first half, but I get it the story is more centered on FL and we got to see more of him later. We didn't get much kiss and skinship, but the handholding and hugs made me giggle and happy. Their hugs always looks so comforting. They loved each other very much and we could feel like with every looks and moments. The wedding made me smile, I wish it was longer and that we could have really scene the wedding and not just the wedding night. I would have loved to see her family, his grandpa, friends, etc... But anyway, we can't get everything. No misunderstanding, no annoying conflicts between them too. A mature relationship.

3) The friendship :
we saw a few friendship through the drama and I enjoyed it.
- The group of 4 with FL + Ye Shi Jie + Jiang Jing Rui + Liu Xu : I loved their friendship at the academy and that it stayed till the end. They help and supported each other, a true friendship that also brought us laughs.
- ML and the emperor : I really loved this friendship. It was good that they also showed us flashbacks of them as kids to understand more their backgrounds and the foundation of their friendship. Trust, loyalty and working together till the end. The little like handshake made me emotional. They love each other like brothers. The emperor was truly lucky to have him.
- FL and Tong Er : Tong Er was so sweet and kind, she deserved better :( I loved this duo and how they became friends and then like sisters. She gave up her life saving FL, we saw in that scene how much they loved each other and they were like sisters.
- FL and Jiang Li : we didn't see much, but we could still see the care they had for each other, how she helped FL and how FL dedicated herself to avenged her
ML and his 2 sidekicks : I'm sill sad that they both died at the end. I loved this trio, they gave us funny moments, bad ass moments, I loved how they worked together.

4) Family :
- Jiang family : even though it wasn't her real family, FL still found a family in them I would say. Like in the last ep, when she was talking with him when they talked about her not being Jiang Li or when she called him father at the end with teary eyes and told him to dress up not to catch a cold. I feel like she actually considered him as a father figure. And with grandma, I loved their relationship and grandma in general. The cousin was the best. After his first appearance, I thought he was annoying, but he became such a good character. It was great how he was always on her side and defending her. Just like his parents actually, I loved them too. Like during the exorcism episode, the 3 of them stayed on FL's side, tried to help her and save her. They were never bad to her. It was nice the last greeting from FL at the end. The father, he did bad Jiang Li because he was blind by his love for the step mom and a bad father, kinda weak but he had his moments. I loved him in the last episodes, I loved his loyalty to the emperor and how he stepped up to help him. Also, even though he probably knew long ago she wasn't his daughter (we could say it was not to lose face and for the family's reputation), he still helped her and I actually think he cared for her for real. It was hilarious his face after she was saved by ML grandfather, ML getting her out of the horse and them hugging. I watched that scenes multiples times. I almost cried with his reaction in the last ep when he was talking to FL about the real Jiang Li. His reaction was sad, he wronged her, but he truly loved her and he will regret it for the rest of his life. The step sister, she was annoying, but she got some character development, I was glad when she finally stepped up to her mom and now that she's free from her, I think she will probably be a better person. Also from the little comments at the end about her, I have hope.
- Ye family : I loved this family, they were the best. I loved how they were kind and they didn't hesitate to help FL. Their dynamic was funny and we could see they love each other. Ye Shi Jie was a good friend and ''brother''. I liked how he didn't become the obsessed and annoying SML, he loved FL, but he didn't forced her or become over the top or chasing her. He helped her and supported her. He knew he had no chance to, it was good at the end when he said he would be like an older brother. 8 years later, they are working together and their friendship must still be strong.
- ML's family : It was tragic to see his parents fate, I felt that. I loved grandpa and I was really happy when they reconciled and I enjoyed their scenes together, the one with FL too. I giggle so bad when she said to him that she was ML's lover ;) he was good and he accepted her instantly as his granddaughter-in-law, he also knew they were a perfect match ;) it was awesome when he appeared and said he would save her. Adding his character at the end was a good chose for me.
- FL's family : They suffered so much, her brother and father are such good people, I'm glad they got justice and that they were alive. The little reunions were emotional. I loved every little scenes, but I wish we would have seen more. The number of eps is limited, but I would have definitely loved to see at least one scene of ML with them (like the 4 of them) or just him talking with her father. But it was good at the end when he said she chose a good man and he was happy for her. It was also funny that one scene with ML and FL's brother. When the father said she had a good eye for choosing a man, I'm sorry but I laughed, I just kept thinking how she chose Shen Yu rong in the past.

5) The plot :
- I think the plot was well written. The plot was engaging.
- Not going to lie, at some point I fast-forwards a little some scenes when it was just talking, I don't think I missed anything important.
- I feel like maybe it dragged a bit too long the revenge against the step mom for Jiang Li.
- The last few episodes were keeping me on the edge of my seat. When I binge watched like the last 4 eps, I was stressing and totally attentive.
- The fighting scenes were well done
- The final battle : I think it was good, it happened a bit fast, but I loved it. The strategies to save the emperor, the fighting scenes, FL speech, everyone doing their parts. Princess coming to help. I was satisfied when ML finally killed the Chen guy.
- I loved that ML recognized her at the very beginning
- I think it's a good change from the novel the fact that she didn't had Jiang Li's face.
- It was good that we could see both of the leads getting their revenge.
- Everything happened fast at the end and feel like it could have had more eps for this plot, but probably because of the regulation of max 40 eps, the plot had to happened more fast.
- I respected the consort at the end. She really cared about the emperor, I was proud of her courage and sacrificed. She didn't hesitated to stay at the banquet and to killed herself for the emperor.
- Revenge : I would say I'm satisfied. The Li family and Shen family got what they deserved. The step mom, okay. Chen guy, the death he deserved. The princess, she was bad, selfish and did many bad things. I think her ending was good, I even felt a bit bad for her, she loved Shen Yu Rong so much, but it brought her to her dismissed. I feel her, she was assaulted and suffered a lot, but that's no excuse for what she did. But I would say, I feel like it was interesting when they showed that she killed their father. Shen Yu rong, I think his death was too easy and ''peaceful'', but anyway at least he's dead.
- The maids were annoying, but it added some comedy and they weren't there long.
- The princess from the other country annoyed me for most of her screentime, but she was useful at the end. She was pretty childish, like girl he doesn't like you, move on and be mature about the situation.

6) Beautiful cinematography

7) Beautiful costume and makeup
- I think it was really pretty the pearls

8) Beautiful ost, I love it so much

9) Ending :
- I was pissed at first when I learned about the ending scene without having watched it, but It wasn't bad after all. After some thinking, we still had some moment in ep 40, the wedding and some scenes of them happy before him going to war. So I accepted it. I would have loved to see them hug, don't know why they didn't give us that, but we know they reunited and that he is still alive. I love how he said he would come back when flowers blooms and he did. Cdramas writers love these ending, the leads reunited for a few secs or just looking at each other from afar. Don't know why, it's such shitty endings ahah. Also it's Youku, I wasn't really hopeful, even if with Blossom in Adversity I did they did pretty good to give a satisfying ending that wasn't too short.
- The extra 5 min after marriage, that was cute. Their daughter is adorable
- I think it was pretty good the closure at the end. ML with his grandfather. FL with the Jiang family and her talk with the father. It was cute to see that they got together after all, the cousin and their friend.
- They could have not done the other battle at the end, not have ML leave and just show us happy moment. All of that seems a bit rushed also. But after some thinking again, it makes sense... Like of course after the Chen guy is gone (he was guarding with the army for years the border) the enemies would attack, I think plot wise it make sense. But again, since the plot had to end at ep 40, the rushness was inevitable

So, to conclude, I recommend this drama. It's a good watch, with awesome characters and story that get you hook.

a good romance short drama

i was looking for a short modern romance drama with a simple plot and without too much annoying things to watch for a night. I found this after a while and it didn’t disappoint.

what I liked :
- the leads have good chemistry and the kissing scenes were decent. I enjoyed their relationship and the romance
- I love fake marriage trope
- when we learned that he actually fell first and liked her too. I always like this.
- no annoying love triangle
- not really any misunderstanding between the leads. a bit of angst when she learned he lied to her, but after that, they stay strong and stay together. She stays with him and never believed he hurt her in the past. no break up
- the comedy
- ML’s cousin, FL’s assistant and even FL’s dad, I enjoyed these side characters.
- no annoying plot or characters in my opinion (maybe a little but really minimal compared to other dramas). I’m annoyed easily, so that says something ahah
- happy ending

At first, the age cap was a bit bothering me, but I got use to it and in the end, it’s not bad.

the thing that kinda disappointed me is the story between FL’s « brother » and ML’s cousin. I know he messed up back then and did some bad things, but I feel like he’s not actually a bad guy. I actual liked the interactions between them too. She was kind and a good person, I think that was good for him. it’s probably bad to say this, but I would have liked to see them get together or more of them, even if in the end impossible… since he will probably end up in jail. I thought they had chemistry and I got invested. If it was going to end up like this, they shouldn’t have started anything in my opinion.

I would recommend this.
